When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1160 Xuanyu 16
If I were to truly form a pact with the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine, I would gain a very powerful fellow cultivator. No one can have it all; every benefit comes with a corresponding price.

If he forms a pact with Yao Yao, he can embark on the path of cultivation again and take revenge on his enemies. But once he becomes an ordinary person, he will never be able to avenge himself again.

Mingqi had clearly already decided on his choice.

When Mingqi came to find Tan You, Tan You was giving a lesson to some flowers and plants on Biluo Ridge. Mingqi overheard a bit, and especially when Tan You talked about the Tao of Nature, Mingqi felt that Tan You was... unfathomable.

Although her cultivation level was low, her understanding of the Dao was undoubtedly very thorough.

Tan You naturally saw Ming Qi. She waved to him, and Ming Qi walked up to her. Seeing a futon next to her, he casually dragged over a futon and sat cross-legged opposite her.

Tan You fiddled with the leaves of the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine: "Have you thought it through?"

“I’ve thought it through,” Mingqi nodded without hesitation. “The path you’ve shown me is indeed a good one.”

Tan You smiled and said, "Then you can negotiate with Yao Yao yourself. If she's willing, I have no objection."

Yao Yao leaped out of her body. Despite being only three heads tall, she stood in front of Ming Qi with an imposing presence. She pouted and glanced at Ming Qi, then circled him once before finally saying, "Sir, shall we get to know each other first?"

Tan You thought to herself, "Why does this feel like a blind date?"
She didn't show it on her face, but just smiled and said, "Okay, it's a good thing to think things through carefully. You go and get to know him. Leave your main body here with me, and I'll set up an array to nurture it for you."

Yao Yao jumped up happily: "Thank you, sir!"

"You...come with me."

Mingqi followed Yaoyao slowly. How fast could a little girl with three heads walk? The thought of sharing life and death with such a little girl in the future made Mingqi feel a little apprehensive.

Although he knew that Yao Yao was definitely older than him, given her size, Ming Qi looked at Yao Yao like an old father looking at his daughter. So if they really formed a contract, how would he raise his daughter?
Mingqi's thoughts began to wander uncontrollably, mainly because their Sword Sect didn't have any sweet and gentle young girls. Even if there were female cultivators, they were more like human weapons; someone like Yaoyao was practically nonexistent.

Yao Yao and Ming Qi went to the side to get acquainted, while Tan You set up an array for several plant spirits that had already gained sentience. Then, she placed Yao Yao's true form in the very center of the array, and streams of spiritual energy converged towards the plant spirits.

The spirits of plants and trees waved their leaves and shook their flowers joyfully, clearly having received great benefits.

It's unclear how Mingqi and Yaoyao got along, but in less than a month, Yaoyao told Tanyou that she agreed to form a contract with Mingqi.

Tan You asked curiously, "How did you convince Yao Yao? She's a stubborn little girl, and a bit obstinate."

Mingqi smiled and said, "Yaoyao has a great personality. I was just telling her about my past experiences. She hasn't been to many places and just wants to go out and see the world."

Tan You understood. Unlike spirit beasts and cultivators, the plant race could not move freely. Before they could take human form, they could only stay in their birthplace and could not go anywhere else.

No one wants to lose their freedom. Now that they can go out and see the world, perhaps that's why Yaoyao agreed to the contract with Mingqi.

Yao Yao whispered to Tan You, "Actually, part of the reason is this: people who are calm, collected, and not impulsive, and who don't take risks easily, usually live longer."

“I remember your words, sir. Observe him closely. I think he’s not bad. He’s not greedy or reckless, and he has principles. Even now, when things are so difficult, he hasn’t urged me to make a contract with him. That’s good.” “You said that it’s hard for people to maintain their true selves when faced with great temptations. He has done it. I think that’s very precious.”

Tan You pinched Yao Yao's bun: "It's good that you think that way. I also have my own considerations for facilitating your contract with Ming Qi."

"You are a bloodthirsty demonic vine, and the path you walk is the path of slaughter. Although this is your path, over time you can easily be misled by the demonic nature of your true form, making you particularly prone to committing acts of killing."

"If you form a contract with Mingqi, his influence will help you control your bloodlust. If you commit too many killings, even if he helps you shield you from the tribulation lightning, the process will still be extremely dangerous."

Yao Yao nodded: "I understand, and I will learn to control my bloodlust."

"That's for the best." Tan You smiled, then looked at Ming Qi again, confirming one last time: "Have you thought it through? Are you really going to form a life-bound contract?"

Mingqi stood with his hands clasped behind his back, a distance away beside him. The two nodded in unison: "We've thought it through."

Mingqi: "Thank you for not minding, Yaoyao. I am willing to sign a life-bound contract with you. From now on, we will be the closest fellow Daoists. We will share life and death and explore the path to immortality together."

Yao Yao's answer was much simpler: "I am willing to form a life-bound contract with Ming Qi, to live and die together and enjoy eternal life."

Tan You smiled faintly, her ten fingers forming a profound hand seal, and a sword cultivator and a spirit of grass and trees signed a life-bound contract. At the very moment the contract was established, it transformed into a stream of light and flew into her body.

Meanwhile, her true form was completely rooted in Mingqi's dantian, perfectly mending his shattered dantian. Through the life-bound contract, Mingqi, who had become an ordinary person, suddenly broke through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Mingqi opened his eyes and subconsciously clenched his fist. He could finally cultivate again!

Yao Yao suddenly appeared beside him, "Late Foundation Establishment stage, just one step away from Golden Core. My lord, will his Golden Core tribulation affect me?"

Tan You: "It's highly unlikely. His own tribulation should just be an ordinary tribulation. But he has just started cultivating, so I suggest he consolidate his cultivation first, and only consider undergoing tribulation after his cultivation is completely stable."

Mingqi stood up: "Don't worry, my lord, I won't undergo tribulation now. I didn't expect to reach the late stage of Foundation Establishment directly. Thank you, Yaoyao."

Yao Yao waved her forearm: "If I were to take human form, you should be able to reach the Golden Core stage."

Tan You chuckled: "You definitely won't make it past the Transformation stage. Speaking of Transformation... what do you think about me planting some Transformation Grass in our Biluo Ridge?"

"That won't work either. The Transformation Grass is only effective on spirit beasts; you plant spirits can't use it..."

Yao Yao let Tan You grumble on. She didn't understand anything. All she wanted now was for Ming Qi to start cultivating quickly so that he could take her out to see more of the world in the future.

Sword Sect Inner Sect.

Mingyuan looked at the faint soul lamp before him, his heart filled with worry: "Is there still no news of Mingqi?"

A month ago, Mingqi's soul lamp became like this, seemingly on the verge of going out at the slightest carelessness. This clearly indicates that Mingqi must have encountered an accident. He has already sent people out to search for Mingqi, but a month has passed and there is still no news.
