The Great Ruler: Starting with the Contract Goddess Luo Li

The next morning.

Thanks to Jiuyou's hypnosis last night, Lin Suzhou slept quite well and got up early this morning.

After getting dressed and stretching, Lin Suzhou went out to say goodbye to Mu Feng.

Instead of immediately heading to Tianluo Continent, they returned to the Red Domain.

Lin Suzhou entered the main city of the Red Domain and arrived at the city lord's mansion.

"Please go in, brother..."

Before Lin Suzhou could finish speaking to the guard, Mu Chen came out.

"Brother Lin!? What's wrong with you...?"

"Hehe, I stayed at your house last night, and I came here today to say goodbye."

Lin Suzhou looked at Mu Chen, whose face had regained its smile, and explained his purpose.

"I was not hospitable last night. Since Brother Lin is leaving, why don't we go to a restaurant together?"

Mu Chen walked down the steps, put his arm around his shoulder, and headed towards the largest restaurant in the city.

"Waiter, bring us your best food and wine."

Mu Chen greeted the waiter and then led Lin Suzhou upstairs to a window seat.

"Brother Lin, are you going home this time, or...?"

"No, I'm going out to gain some experience while I'm reporting to the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy."

Lin Suzhou smiled, and then asked Jiuyou to investigate Mu Chen as well.

The discovery that he now only has one Eight Divine Meridian further confirms that he is not Qing Yanjing's bloodline. The Eight Divine Meridian is probably the result of his extremely strong luck.

To confirm again, Lin Suzhou asked Jiuyou to investigate once more. Even after discovering the mysterious black paper in his dantian, they still couldn't find any spiritual veins in him.

Lin Suzhou also had a question about this.

He only transmigrated at this point, so logically he shouldn't have become the butterfly flapping its wings.

Why then...?

After thinking for a while, Lin Suzhou suddenly realized the reason.

system!

Yes, what he possesses is the Contract Goddess System; it must have been created by the system itself…

However, since the deed was already done, Lin Suzhou didn't want to think about it anymore.

After the waiter served the wine and dishes, Lin Suzhou and Mu Chen once again enjoyed their drinks together.

"Hehe, Brother Lin, you just said you were going to the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy, and that's also my goal."

Mu Chen clinked glasses with Lin Suzhou and smiled.

"Then see you at the Northern Azure Spirit Academy in a year!"

Lin Suzhou drank the wine with him and congratulated him, saying, "Now that you have reunited with your family, I hope that Brother Mu will continue to cultivate diligently and obtain a spot to go to Beicang."

"Yes, I will!"

Mu Chen nodded emphatically, his eyes filled with longing: "Yu Qing is still waiting for me; she is also going to the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy."

"In that case, I wish Brother Mu rapid progress and that you achieve great success in your cultivation soon!"

"Haha, a man's ambition should be like a river flowing into the sea. I also wish Brother Lin many opportunities and countless treasures on his journey!"

The two raised their glasses again, their words filled with blessings.

The reason Lin Suzhou said this was because he had taken Mu Chen's opportunity and was afraid that Mu Chen would not get a spot to go to Beicang.

Unlike Mu Chen, who was entirely sincere.

"I obtained this spiritual manual after destroying Mangyin Mountain; consider it a gift for my visit."

Lin Suzhou placed a spirit-level incantation from Yang Gui's secret chamber in front of Mu Chen.

"What?! Brother Lin destroyed Mangyin Mountain?!"

Mu Chen paid no attention to the spirit-level technique, but was instead shocked by Lin Suzhou's words.

"Yes, when I first arrived in the Northern Spirit Realm, I took the Mangyin Mountain Range. Who knew they would stop me, so I took action and wiped them out."

Lin Suzhou told a lie, but as long as the result was true, that's fine.

"Hehe, then on behalf of the people of the western city of Muyu, I thank Brother Lin for his help."

Mu Chen expressed his gratitude to Lin Suzhou, saying, "The Mangyin Mountain often invades my western city of the Mu Domain. Unfortunately, their main camp is located on a high mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. This makes my Uncle Xiong furious but helpless. Brother Lin has rid the people of this scourge."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Suzhou remembered that in the original story, Mangyin Mountain had indeed killed a city lord of the Mu Domain, so it seemed that he had repaid a debt of gratitude.

"Hehe, although it was a twist of fate, I'm glad I could help Brother Mu."

Lin Suzhou then drank and ate with Mu Chen.

The two men left the restaurant only after the dishes were empty and the wine was gone.

Mu Chen also escorted Lin Suzhou outside the city.

"After this parting, it will be a year before we meet again."

Mu Chen looked reluctant, after all, Lin Suzhou had been a great help to him.

On the contrary, he...

"I will be waiting for you in Beicang!"

Lin Suzhou waved to her, then summoned Jiuyou, mounted her, and rode off into the distance.

"Wow, that big bird is so majestic. I wish I could be one too..."

"Forget it, I'd better go back and start cultivating my spiritual techniques as soon as possible. I still need to go to the arena with Liu Yang."

Mu Chen suddenly gave a self-deprecating laugh, turned around and returned to the city lord's mansion, where he began his arduous cultivation.

As for Lin Suzhou, riding Jiuyou was much more enjoyable than riding a mare. Not only was the speed increased significantly, but he also became much more stylish.

Flying in the sky, Lin Suzhou felt the damp mist brushing against his face, and the distant sun shone warmly on him, making him feel much better.

"Did I make you feel good, sister?"

Hearing Lin Suzhou's call from below, Jiuyou, who was flying rapidly below, replied jokingly.

"That feels so good!"

Lin Suzhou opened his arms as if to embrace the sky.

"In a while, I will give you a Nine Netherfire Seed, so that your spiritual power will be even more powerful."

"Thank you in advance, Sister Jiuyou."

Lin Suzhou felt a warmth in his heart; it seemed that making a contract with the Nine Netherworlds was the right thing to do.

Unlike other spirit beasts that possess humans, she acts as an elder sister, taking good care of those around her.

Thus, the young man emerged from the Northern Spirit Realm, riding the Nine Netherworld Sparrow, and ventured into that magnificent and chaotic world!

……

A month later, Lin Suzhou and Jiuyou had traveled a long way, crossing dozens of continents, and finally completed half of their journey.

The Continent of Blazing Flames.

On a mountain peak, a handsome young man was sitting side by side with a woman wearing a purple cheongsam.

"Are you ready?"

"Phew, I'm ready."

"It's okay, this is my first time too, I'm a little nervous."

"Then Sister Jiuyou, please slow down. I'm a little excited and I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it later."

"Okay, but as much as you want to get excited, don't do anything rash."

On the lawn, Lin Suzhou looked at Jiuyou, who had suddenly sat cross-legged opposite him, feeling both excited and afraid.

Could a cultivator at the Fusion Realm successfully absorb the seed of the Nine Netherfire?

"A grown man shouldn't be so cowardly."

Jiuyou glared at him, then gathered a vast amount of spiritual power in her hands and spat out a purple fireball from her mouth.

Seeing the flames that distorted the air, Lin Suzhou's expression tightened, and he opened his mouth to inhale into his dantian.

"Hold on! As long as you can absorb this spark of fire from me, you will have more spiritual power than any cultivator below the Supreme level."

Looking at Lin Suzhou, who had suddenly put on a mask of pain, Jiuyou encouraged him.

"I feel so hot inside, I need to speed up my absorption."

Lin Suzhou's body temperature rose sharply, as if his meridians were being scalded by the fire.

"Dragon and Phoenix Suppressing Spirit Bell!"

In response, Lin Suzhou had no choice but to condense the prototype of a large bell above his head.

Although this bell is only in its initial form and has not yet been fully formed, its surface is decorated with dragon and phoenix patterns.

They then revealed their light, illuminating the surroundings directly.

A powerful aura of dragon and phoenix descended, calming the raging flame and gradually making it more docile.

Meanwhile, Jiuyou, on the other side, felt the pressure emanating from the great bell, her jade hand covering her delicate lips, her pretty face filled with shock.

"This is... the oppressive aura of a true dragon and phoenix!?"
