Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 157 Jiang Feng as a servant, with the potential to break through the shackles of the sub-monarch!

Jiang Feng was stunned after hearing Lu Ran's long string of words.

Sister Feng?

Is this someone calling me?

Weren't they fighting and killing each other just a moment ago? And now they're being so polite?

Judging from his words, this man not only wanted the reborn Flame Princess, but also wanted her! He wasn't even willing to let her, the Flame Princess's guardian, go!

This person's true ambitions are obvious!

If it weren't for needing something from Lu Ran, Jiang Feng wouldn't have tolerated him; she would have had to teach this human a lesson.

But then again, this man in front of us is not only exceptionally handsome, but also possesses such powerful cultivation at such a young age. Even some old people who have lived for decades are far inferior to him!
Jiang Feng admitted that she had never seen such a genius when she was still living in human cities.

It seems that making a contract with him isn't so bad?
The strength displayed by the man in front of her greatly impressed Jiang Feng.

Having been a fire witch for over a decade, as one of the overlords of the Scorching Plains, she had long since adapted to this body!
In Zhuoyuan, she could be a queen, but elsewhere...
She also longed to go further!
Although she is a monarch, she is limited by her bloodline and is only the weakest of the sub-monarchs!
Although they can freely kill and kill demons, they are still far inferior to true monarch-like beings!
If she became Lu Ran's contracted beast, she might have a chance to break through this constraint!
Thinking this, Jiang Feng's beautiful eyes began to glaze over as she looked at Lu Ran.

Well, even if it's a contract, it's just for the purpose of better taking care of Flame Princess.
If she could personally kill the ghost woman, Jiang Feng believed that one of her heart's wishes would be fulfilled!

"I agree," Jiang Feng replied to Lu Ran with a sigh of relief.

Lu Ran smiled; this was something he had expected!

Jiang Feng had no reason to refuse the conditions he offered, nor did she have the right to refuse.

Immediately, Lu Ran took out the Book of Contracts, an ancient-looking parchment scroll.

This is a treasure that Lu Ran obtained from Dean Xiao. He has taken two of them so far, which is just enough to form a contract with Jiang Feng and Yan Ji.

Upon seeing the parchment scroll, Jiang Feng's pupils instinctively contracted.

She felt an unyielding force above her. If she were to establish a contract with Lu Ran, she might remain his contracted beast for life, even if she became a true monarch, unless Lu Ran took the initiative to terminate the contract!
Feeling Jiang Feng's beating heart, Lu Ran smiled slightly.

The treasures collected by Dean Xiao are far beyond what ordinary items like contract rings can compare to.

Even if the contracted beast isn't by Lu Ran's side, this parchment scroll can still unleash 100% of its power!

Moreover, it's a master-servant contract, with Lu Ran as the master and Jiang Feng as the servant.

After the contract is signed, as long as Lu Ran is willing, he only needs to think about it, and Jiang Feng, who is at the level of a sub-monarch, will suffer a huge backlash to her soul, losing one-tenth of her combat power.

Seeing Lu Ran take out an ancient parchment, Zhao Chenying was puzzled, feeling as if she had lost something.
Lu Ran and Jiang Feng's communication took place entirely through the "heart-to-heart bridge," so she was completely unaware of it.

If Zhao Chenying were to join in, she would know that her mother is gone. Her mother is going to become Lu Ran's contracted beast!

Lu Ran and Jiang Feng reached out at the same time, and a radiant chain, invisible to others, connected them.

Jiang Feng felt a strange sense of constraint on her body and mind.

She knew the contract was formed!
But to her surprise and shock, her strength was not suppressed!

She was once a human mage and had some knowledge of summoning.

As far as she knew, all mid-level summoning contract magic, including magical artifacts and items with contract abilities, had the same conclusion.

That is, when the life level of the contracted creature is one major realm higher than the corresponding cultivation level of the mage, the contracted creature will be suppressed!
Although she is a sub-monarch, she is also a monarch!

A high-level mage made a contract with her. In theory, her life level should be suppressed to the peak of the ruling level. The difference between her strength and that of a sub-monarch is enormous!
Surprisingly, instead of being suppressed, she felt an excited eagerness to try.
Why is this?

In an instant, Jiang Feng thought of the immense spiritual pressure emanating from Lu Ran! Doubt, confusion, and shock welled up in her heart.

Who exactly is my contract master?
Constrained by the contract, Jiang Feng blushed and trembled, addressing him with great shame:
"Master!"

Lu Ran was somewhat surprised, but nodded in satisfaction and said:

"Sister Jiang Feng, although you are my contracted creature, we can still get along like friends."

"My name is Lu Ran. You can just call me Lu Ran."

After speaking, Lu Ran glanced at the restless Zhao Chenying behind him:
"She is your mother, and she has something she wants to say to you."

Immediately, Lu Ran also pulled Zhao Chenying into the bridge of emotions. Jiang Feng was very excited and began to tell the truth and grievances that had been hidden for so many years.

Zhao Chenying's eyes widened, because she was forced into the voice channel by Lu Ran and couldn't resist.

Then, tears streamed down her face as she painfully listened to the truth.

The flames around Jiang Feng had subsided at some point, and seeing that Zhao Chenying was no longer resisting, he hugged her.

Seeing this, Lu Ran sighed and did not intervene, letting the mother and daughter vent their emotions.

He hadn't forgotten his promise to Jiang Feng, and naturally wouldn't break it, which was to kill the ghost woman.

Lu Ran's spiritual power suddenly spread and swept in all directions, searching for the ghost woman and her group.

However, because he arrived at Xingyu Tianshu a bit too early, he couldn't find him for a while and could only silently investigate and keep an eye on him.

Half an hour later, Lu Ran's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly spoke:

"We found someone!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng instantly stood up, her excited voice echoing through the mental bridge:
"Where is she?"

The person they found was none other than the culprit, the ghost woman!
"Just follow me, it will be quick."

Lu Ran subconsciously took Jiang Feng into the contract space.

Having formed a contract with Jiang Feng using parchment scrolls, he naturally also gained a companion contract space.

But then Lu Ran saw Zhao Chenying standing alone, looking somewhat lost and helpless, and paused for a moment.

At this time, Zhao Chenying was unaware that her mother, as a contracted beast, had been contracted by Lu Ran.

Jiang Feng did not proactively inform Zhao Chenying.

Lu Ran thought about it and realized that leaving Zhao Chenying alone here was obviously not a good idea.

He then released Jiang Feng and had her personally lead Zhao Chenying, while he could only slow down and lead the way for the two of them.

Jiang Feng was stunned. She noticed that Lu Ran had slowed down, and the shock she felt was indescribable.

This new master is indeed far superior to me!

In a corner of the Fire Cloud Forest, Zhao Chenying's father, Zhao Yulin, led a group of people toward the Star Language Tree.

The ghostly woman wrapped in white cloth was conspicuously positioned at the very back of the procession!

At this moment, they were unaware that two enormous energies were rapidly approaching them.
