Chapter 168 Snow Emperor: Give Me a Copy of the Contract
Chapter 168 Snow Emperor: Give Me a Copy of the Contract
Wang Chen pointed to the contract and said, "Just imprint your soul mark here."
The Sea Princess took the contract and, without even looking at its contents, unhesitatingly placed her soul mark on it, signing the agreement.
The Sea Princess was well aware that there was no reward without effort. To latch onto Lord Wang Chen's golden thigh and ascend to the God Realm, what was signing a contract?
As the Sea Princess signed the contract, it transformed into a five-pointed star mark, entering her brow and merging into her soul.
From then on, the Sea Princess would not be able to harm Wang Chen or betray him…
Once she tried to violate the contract's terms, it would activate, forcibly stopping the action. Wang Chen could even actively urge the contract to severely punish the violator's soul.
It could be said that once the contract was signed, the Sea Princess completely belonged to Wang Chen.
The Sea Princess bowed to Wang Chen and said, "Lord Wang Chen, is that alright?"
Wang Chen nodded and said, "It is."
Wang Chen looked at the obedient and respectful Sea Princess, thinking to himself, "Tang San's attempt to scheme against me not only caused me no harm but also brought me some benefits.
It allowed me to easily take down the Sea Princess, a powerful spirit-attribute mermaid with six hundred thousand years of cultivation, without any effort. Not bad, not bad."
Xue Di, who was beside them, watched the Sea Princess sign the contract, thought for a moment, and said to Wang Chen, "Wang Chen, give me a contract too. I'll have to sign it sooner or later anyway."
Wang Chen wasn't being pretentious. His acquaintance with Xue Di and the Sea Princess was pitifully short. There was no affection between them, only a relationship of mutual benefit, lacking a foundation of trust.
Although a contract was cold and rigid, it was quite reliable, capable of tightening the connection between them.
If a contract wasn't signed, Wang Chen wouldn't proceed with the fusion. After all, if something unexpected happened during the fusion, it would be too late to regret it.
Wang Chen activated his tangible and qualitative spiritual power, conjuring another contract and handing it to Xue Di.
Xue Di glanced at it twice before imprinting her soul mark on the contract, signing it just like the Sea Princess.
Immediately afterward, the contract merged into Xue Di's soul.
Xue Di felt the contract's restraint within her soul, knowing that she could no longer cause any harm to Wang Chen, nor could she betray him…
The contract's contents weren't numerous, but they were comprehensive, preventing all forms of harm and betrayal.
However, Xue Di had no intention of betraying Wang Chen. Her seven hundred thousand-year tribulation was approaching, and she had to rely on Wang Chen to survive.
Not only would she not harm Wang Chen, but if anyone attempted to harm him, she would protect him.
Wang Chen was in a good mood seeing the Sea Princess and Xue Di both sign the soul contract.
Next, as long as he fused with the Sea Princess and Xue Di, he would be able to advance his cultivation to the peak of a Soul Douluo.
Then, he could condense the Yin-Yang complementary second soul core and become a Titled Douluo powerhouse.
At that time, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao would be nothing more than clay chickens and pottery dogs, easily annihilated.
Even if those two old dogs wanted to escape from Wang Chen's grasp, it would be extremely difficult. Even if they self-destructed, they wouldn't be able to perish together with Wang Chen.
Wang Chen said, "Sea Princess, next, we can proceed with the fusion."
The Sea Princess said to Wang Chen, "Lord Wang Chen, please wait a moment regarding the fusion. As the chieftain of the mermaid race, I have some matters to explain to my people.
Otherwise, if I suddenly disappeared, the mermaid race would likely fall into chaos."
Seeing that the Sea Princess needed to explain some matters, Wang Chen nodded in agreement. He wasn't an unreasonable person. Letting the Sea Princess return to her clan to hand over some matters would only take a day or two at most.
He could afford to wait that little bit of time. There was no need to force the Sea Princess to fuse with him over such a trivial matter.
Seeing Wang Chen agree, the Sea Princess smiled and said, "Lord Wang Chen, you've come all the way to the Ice Sea. Please allow me to fulfill my duty as a host and have you visit the mermaid race. Let me and the mermaid race treat you with the utmost hospitality."
Xue Di, who was beside them, frowned, seeing the Sea Princess being so fawning towards Wang Chen.
She opened her mouth and said, "The mermaid race is located in the deep sea. Wang Chen and I have difficulty moving underwater. I think it would be better for Wang Chen to wait for you on the surface with me."
The Sea Princess raised an eyebrow, glancing at Xue Di almost imperceptibly, then smiled charmingly at Wang Chen.
She said gently, "Lord Wang Chen, there's no need to worry about that. I can create a special bubble that allows people to breathe and move freely underwater."
Seeing that the Sea Princess could actually allow people to breathe freely underwater, Xue Di was momentarily speechless.
The Sea Princess moved closer to Wang Chen, whispering in his ear, "Lord Wang Chen, it may take a day or two for me to return to my clan and explain matters.
I can't possibly have you and Xue Di blowing sea breezes on the ocean, can I? Wouldn't that be discourteous of me?
Come visit the mermaid race. Lord, you probably haven't seen the mermaid race's palace, have you? The mermaid race's architecture is very different from humans', very beautiful and unique…"
Seeing that what the Sea Princess said made some sense, Wang Chen said, "Then I'll go visit the mermaid race."
Wang Chen said to Xue Di, "Xue Di, come along too."
Xue Di looked at the Sea Princess and said expressionlessly, "Sea Princess, you shouldn't mind me visiting your place, right?"
The Sea Princess giggled and said, "Why would I mind? Xue Di, you're also a distinguished guest of my mermaid race."
Immediately afterward, the Sea Princess raised her hands, and a gentle blue halo transformed into a giant blue bubble, enveloping the three of them, sinking together from the surface of the Ice Sea into the ocean.
As the blue bubble landed on the sea surface, the seawater parted on its own to both sides, with no signs of any obstruction. Enveloped by the blue bubble, they felt no water pressure, and their breathing was extremely smooth.
Through the blue bubble, the Sea Princess introduced the unique beauty of the sea to Wang Chen, as well as various sea soul beasts.
The Sea Princess was the ruler of the Ice Sea. After sensing her aura, all the sea soul beasts either ran away or bowed respectfully.
As they continued to descend, the seawater became deep and dark. Soon, the three of them arrived at the bottom of the sea.
They saw a palace-like structure standing at the bottom of the sea, radiating a beautiful blue halo, illuminating the surrounding dozens of kilometers as if it were daytime.
Exquisite mermaids with enchanting figures and various colored fishtails swam within it.
This underwater palace was different from the palaces on land. It was entirely built from coral and various unique and rare minerals from the ocean, with distinct characteristics.
Upon seeing the Sea Princess return, all the mermaids who were swimming around came over and bowed their heads in greeting. Some of the bolder ones curiously looked at Wang Chen and Xue Di.
After reaching their destination, the Sea Princess controlled the bubble, shrinking it, leaving only two long oval-shaped bubbles covering Wang Chen and Xue Di's bodies.
Looking at the bubble, Wang Chen felt uncomfortable, so he covered the surface of his body with the Spirit Domain.
The origin of the spirit directly controlled non-living objects such as seawater, filtering the seawater, and the oxygen in the seawater could enter Wang Chen's body. In this way, Wang Chen was able to breathe and move freely underwater.
At this moment, two beautiful mermaids who looked 70% similar to the Sea Princess swam over.
The two mermaids looked at Wang Chen and Xue Di and asked curiously.
"Mother, you're back."
"Mother, who are they?"
