Douluo Continent: Contract with Gu Yuena, Start by Slaying Tang Shenwang

Outside the Star Dou Great Forest, Meng Hongchen knelt down at the place her grandfather had brought her to before, loudly calling out Bai Xuan's name.

"Meng Hongchen has a request, and hopes that Venerable Bai Xuan will appear to meet him."

Meng Hongchen kept calling out, her voice choked with sobs, and involuntarily thought of her grandfather Jing Hongchen and her brother Xiao Hongchen.

In just two months, she lost her older brother, whom she grew up with, and her grandfather, who had been very kind to her. Such a blow was too heavy for a sixteen-year-old girl.

Now she places all her hopes on Bai Xuan, hoping to get his help.

She shouted for almost half an hour before she saw the space in front of her distorted.

Bai Xuan was the first to walk out.

Gu Yuena and Di Tian also came with him.

Upon seeing Bai Xuan, Meng Hongchen excitedly jumped up, ran to Bai Xuan, knelt down, and pleaded in a sorrowful voice:

"Please, Venerable Bai Xuan, save my grandfather."

Bai Xuan looked at the little girl in front of him and recognized her; she was Jing Hongchen's granddaughter.

"I'm not familiar with your grandfather, why should I go and save him?"

Bai Xuan didn't ask what had happened to the other party, but simply stated his position: he wouldn't help.

He doesn't care what happens to the other person; he's not one to meddle in other people's business.

"I know your rules, Your Majesty, it's an equal exchange. As long as you are willing to have mercy and save my grandfather, I'm willing to pay any price. I just beg you to save him. He's my only family in this world."

Meng Hongchen raised her head, her eyes red from crying, filled with pleading and helplessness. She looked pitiful and endearing.

Bai Xuan remained unmoved. There were too many pitiful people in the world; if he were to pity them all, he simply couldn't take care of them all.

"What happened to your grandfather?"

Gu Yuena asked curiously.

"He was captured by Shrek..."

Meng Hongchen quickly recounted her grandfather's ordeal, and cried even harder.

"Shrek's revenge is swift indeed."

Di Tian sneered, having already guessed that Jing Hongchen might face retaliation. After all, he had publicly humiliated Shrek Academy, and given Shrek Academy's temperament, they certainly wouldn't swallow their anger.

If it concerns Shrek, he's actually willing to help; he's happy to cause them trouble.

"Please, please help me."

Meng Hongchen pleaded again.

Gu Yuena and Di Tian both looked at Bai Xuan, unsure of his attitude.

"Your grandfather is in Shrek City. Rescuing him would be very costly, and you can't afford the reward. You should go back and prepare for the God Exam. Once you become a god, you can take revenge on them."

Bai Xuan turned to leave, but Meng Hongchen grabbed his left leg.

"I will try my best to satisfy whatever you want," Meng Hongchen said anxiously.

"Can you afford such a powerful artifact?"

Bai Xuan asked calmly, explaining that this was the reward he felt was worthwhile after a comprehensive evaluation.

They knew very little about Shrekney, and rushing in to rescue someone was no easy task.

Even with eight top-tier experts present, there's no need to blindly take risks.

"A divine artifact?" Meng Hongchen felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe.

A divine artifact? How could I possibly give it to myself?

"Let's go back."

Bai Xuan flashed away, instantly moving a distance, leaving Meng Hongchen empty-handed.

Gu Yuena and Di Tian left with him.

Soon, Meng Hongchen was left alone again, sobbing softly.

She did not get up, as if she had made some kind of decision.

Regardless of whether Bai Xuan could hear him or not, he shouted into the air in front of him:

"I don't have the artifact you want right now, but I will do my best to become a god, and then I will be able to give you the artifact. I beg you to give me a chance to buy it on credit."

"If you don't agree, I'll kneel here until you're willing to help me."

There was no response. She knew that the other person had most likely heard her but was simply ignoring her.

She stubbornly knelt there, determined to either win the other party's agreement to help her or die kneeling there.

The successive blows overwhelmed her with grief, and she seemed to have become indifferent to life and death. Perhaps death would be a relief, freeing her from suffering.

For her grandfather's sake, she had to take a gamble, hoping the other party would soften their heart.

While kneeling, she was also trying to comprehend the rules of killing.

She appears innocent, lively, and rather delicate, but in reality, her martial soul ability is quite deadly.

Zhu Qingbing Toad possesses both ice and poison attributes, and its primary focus is on offense.

Among the nine divine positions to be inherited, the Asura God, the Killing God, the War God, and the Sea God are the ones she is considering.

Other divine positions, such as the Phoenix God or the Speed ​​God, are not suitable for her.

The competition among the Asura Gods was too fierce, and although the Sea God's own ice and water were related, they were not quite compatible.

Between the two divine positions of God of Slaughter and God of War, she ultimately chose God of Slaughter.

If one uses poison well, it becomes synonymous with death, making one more akin to a god of death.

Therefore, what she should be comprehending now is the law of killing.

This is extremely difficult to comprehend, and there's no clue where to begin, so you can only try to understand it according to your own understanding.

The image of her brother Meng Hongchen's death kept flashing through her mind, as did the image of her grandfather being tortured horribly. A murderous intent was growing in her heart.

It's directed at Huo Yuhao, at Shrek Academy, and is gradually evolving into a directed response to everyone.

She wanted to kill anyone who dared to harm her or those around her.

In the distance, in a place unnoticed by Meng Hongchen.

Bai Xuan, Gu Yuena, and Di Tian stood on the treetop, watching Meng Hongchen's location.

"She's quite a persistent young lady. Aren't you really going to help her out?"

"Even if they can't produce a divine artifact, they could still produce dozens of level-nine soul tools. Aren't you interested in those?"

Gu Yuena looked at Bai Xuan and said.

"You seem to really want my help?" Bai Xuan asked calmly.

Gu Yuena readily admitted, "Mainly because I can't stand Shrek Academy. If it makes them unhappy, I'm willing to help for free."

Di Tian nodded as well.

"I have nothing better to do."

Bai Xuan spoke casually.

Gu Yuena pouted unhappily: "So, you're here watching her now, aren't you trying to help?"

"That depends on how long she can hold on. If she can hold on for a month, we can help her by lowering the pay, considering her willpower."

"If they can't even last a month, then there's no point in helping them."

After Bai Xuan finished speaking, he turned around, jumped down from the tree, and strolled through the forest.

"Let the spirit beasts pay more attention to her; I'm curious how long she can hold out."

Gu Yuena instructed Di Tian.

Di Tian nodded and gave the order.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and Meng Hongchen was still kneeling, her face pale and her lips chapped.

She had run out of food and water three days ago, and had not eaten or drunk anything for the past three days, relying entirely on her soul power to maintain basic life functions.

Although Soul Masters cannot abstain from grains, they are more resistant to hunger than ordinary people. After all, sometimes when cultivation reaches a critical stage, they can survive for ten days or half a month without eating.

Meng Hongchen looked so weak not from hunger, but from kneeling.

She has been kneeling for the past ten days without getting up, and now her knees are numb.

Poor blood flow caused her to feel unwell all over.

Having been pampered since childhood, she had never experienced such hardship.

But she gritted her teeth and persevered. She wanted to give up several times, but she survived thanks to the pain of her brother's death and her grandfather's arrest.

No matter how badly I feel, at least I'm still alive and haven't suffered the same hardships as my grandfather. So what right do I have to complain?

She knelt there, passing the time by trying to understand the rules of killing.

Unbeknownst to him, a faint aura of blood was appearing and disappearing around his body.

During these ten days, Bai Xuan paid no attention to Meng Hongchen and completely forgot about her.

At noon that day, Bai Xuan finished his morning cultivation as usual.

As soon as they stepped out of the cave, they saw Di Tian walking towards them with a woman in a white dress.

Her appearance was stunning, and she walked barefoot without getting a speck of dust on her feet. Upon seeing him, a smile bloomed on her face, which was as white as an iceberg and a snow lotus.

"Greetings, Your Excellency."

Xue Di bowed respectfully, showing great respect to Bai Xuan.
