A bizarre resurgence begins with a pact made by a weasel.

What kind of "amnesty" is it?

Xie Qing couldn't say for sure.

In his past life, he was a moral person, but also an ordinary person.

Because of his education and environment on Earth, he had neither the opportunity to be a great villain nor a great philanthropist; he was just an ordinary person who worked diligently under the rules of society.

But things are different now.

He has no ties.

After traveling for more than ten days, he felt no affection whatsoever for the people and things in this world.

and,

Linzhou was a chaotic place.

There may be moral laws, but not many.

This is fertile ground for evil, greatly expanding malice and enriching desires. Given his current status, the cost of committing crimes is far too low.

Most importantly, he also possessed extraordinary skills.

As the saying goes, "If you have a sharp blade in your heart, the desire to kill will naturally arise."

Therefore,

He didn't know what kind of person he would eventually become, since a person's development is closely related to their environment and their own level of achievement.

"I have no idea."

He was telling the truth.

Huang Jue, however, was not satisfied.

"So what do you want? Why do you want to join the Freemasons?"

"I want to live freely, without anyone making things difficult for me or forcing me."

As Xie Qing spoke, her eyes gradually brightened:

"I can do whatever I want without any worries, and I feel confident."

"That confidence comes from strength."

He spread his five fingers and then clenched them again.

"It allows my surging emotions to extend without restraint."

Huang Jue muttered:

"I think you want to restore the throne and become emperor!"

"Who wouldn't want that?"

Saying something is the same as not saying it at all.

but,

She could sense the sincerity in those words.

that's enough.

Huang Jue, hands on his hips, roared:

"I want to do that too."

"I'm going to be the ruler of heaven!!"

Xie Qing smiled and looked up:

"Then let's draw up a contract."

This time, Huang Jue did not hesitate. She opened her palm, and a small, exquisite three-headed deity statue appeared. The head of the statue had no facial features and looked like three smooth braised eggs.

"Huang Jue, a man from the wilderness of Donghai County, respectfully worships the Three Heavenly Venerables with a sincere heart."

We humbly beseech the Heavenly Venerable to grant us your mercy and scrutiny. We, your humble servants, wish to enter into a covenant of law with Xie Lan's son, Xie Qing. If our wish is granted, we will certainly fulfill this promise to repay your divine grace. Our words and deeds will be consistent, and we will never lie.

We kowtow and respectfully present this, for Heaven and Earth bear witness!

The statue emitted a soft light, which gradually spread towards Xie Qing as Huang Jue followed his gaze.

At Huang Jue's prompting, Xie Qing immediately responded:

"Xie Qing, a believer, is willing to enter into a contract with Huang Jue."

next moment,

The light enveloped the two of them.

The floating statues transformed into three pale yellow circles that imprinted on the back of Xie Qing's hand.

The circles were squeezed together, like three heads huddled together.

"This is the law."

A lot of information came to Xie Qing's mind.

Most of it was what Huang Jue had told us earlier.

But there is one difference.

This law not only commands the gods, but can even seize ownership of their secret treasures and wondrous objects.

For example, right now, he can bypass Huang Jue and manipulate the paper figures she creates.

However, each use requires one decree.

He also felt a mysterious connection between himself and the girl in front of him.

Master and servant?

It seems to have a slight appeal.

The next moment, the system's reward arrived.

【Ding】

[Complete the mission: Defeat the Yellow Immortal and establish a contract.]

[Bonus Attribute: Lightness E- (Light as a Feather)]

[The prerequisite quest for the medium-sized dungeon, "Five Immortals Seizing the Gods," has been completed.]

[Six days until the dungeon starts]

"Is that alright?" Huang Jue urged. "If it's alright, give me that chicken."

Xie Qing handed over the suitcase:

"How do you plan to eat?"

"Of course, we pluck the feathers and eat them."

"Eat it raw?"

"Mind your own business, huh."

Huang Jue nodded, and three of the most ornate paper figures immediately surrounded the chicken to pluck its feathers and bleed it.

"The chicken's feathers and blood are heat-resistant, which will make my paper doll immune to flames."

Xie Qing thought of the extraordinary skill he had previously acquired, the Gilding Technique, and said:

"I have a secret method that can make all the paper figures in this room immune to flames and high temperatures. All I need to do is coat them with a special liquid."

"What should we do!?"

Huang Jue jumped up excitedly.

All the paper figures in the room looked over as well.

"All that's needed is a large amount of gold and some tung oil, mercury, and other materials."

"I'll have Huang Qi and the others bring it to you right away."

Xie Qing waved his hand:

"This house is full of gold. I'll write a list and you can have them prepare the materials listed. But I have one more condition: for the next ten days or so, you cannot freely enter or leave this garden."

Xie Qing planned to turn this garden into a trap to lure his other four siblings over, so he absolutely couldn't let anyone else discover that he had already made a contract with Huang Xian.

Only in this way can we reduce the vigilance of those four people.

Huang Jue agreed without hesitation.

"It just so happens that I also need to go into seclusion for a while."

Paper-making is her fundamental secret skill. If she could become immune to water and fire, it would completely eliminate her biggest weakness and greatly enhance her combat power.

Even if foreigners come knocking on her door, she won't be afraid.

"But... could you take Huang Qi and the others in temporarily? I'm worried they might encounter danger while wandering around outside."

"Of course, no problem."

"atmosphere!"

Huang Jue jumped up with joy.

"They'll listen to you from now on."

She took out a white bone flute and put it into Xie Qing's arms.

"This is a family heirloom of our Huangtian family. When you blow it, the sound will reach all the land, and all the weasels will come in response."

After saying that, she was about to leave when Xie Qing quickly stopped her:

"I have one more question. Do you know my mother?"

"You're asking me?"

"Her name is Du Shenggge, she's a nun, and she's as pretty as me."

Huang Jue frowned in thought.

"Oh, right!"

She clapped her hands suddenly, and Xie Qing immediately perked up.

"You know?"

"have no idea."

Seeing Xie Qing's disappointed expression, she quickly tried to salvage the situation:

"I remember what Xie Lan once told me."

Next second,

She then became old-fashioned and imitated Xie Lan's mannerisms:

"When you see that brat, remember to tell him that I left him a treasure hidden in Wuma Mountain. When you get to the foot of Wuma Mountain, remember to tell him to ask the mountain guardian there."

After all,

Perhaps fearing Xie Qing's wrath, she bent her knees and leaped, disappearing into the dark ceiling.

"Hey! Hey!"

"Don't think you can just let this go!"

Xie Qing looked up and saw only ripples spreading across the ceiling; she had no idea how the woman had managed to get in.

After thinking about it, he decided to try out the benefits he had just received.

Xie Qing lightly touched the ground with her toes.

call!

He was spinning and rising upwards.

This is the attribute of lightness!

He felt as light as a swallow, able to rise ten feet high with a single step.

Xie Qing reached out and pressed against the ceiling—it was hard, and he couldn't squeeze in at all.

"hateful!"

Just then, a head popped out.

"Stop looking."

Huang Jue threw out a yellow paper talisman.

"Consider this my apology. Take it with you on your treasure hunt!"

【Ding! 】

[You have acquired the secret treasure -- Heng Jiang E, one of the two generals Heng and Ha]

The paper figures made by Huang Xian can kill people up close and bewitch them from afar. They can be controlled by decrees, and each decree can be used for the duration of a cup of tea.

"That's more like it."

Xie Qing pressed down with his wrist, using the force to propel himself forward. He passed through the dense paper figures, needing external help to move forward every three zhang or so.

"This is almost identical to the light-footed martial arts on Earth."

Xie Qing happily danced through the stairwell.

This feeling made him appreciate the allure of supernatural abilities even more than the act of breathing fire.

"That felt so good!"

"Even gods are no better than this."

Flying from upstairs to downstairs, Xie Qing landed lightly on the sofa.

He half-reclined and raised his arm, the three [Laws] emitting a faint light. Xie Qing was increasingly delighted as he looked at them, and he laughed happily. After laughing for a while, he began to ponder Xie Lan's instructions.

"Wuma Mountain..."

If I remember correctly, that is where Du Shenge is buried.

"That makes sense."

"Without some help, how could the original owner compete with the other four!"

"We should also visit Du Shengge's grave; perhaps we'll find something unexpected."
