My career has infinite upgrades.

Looking at the stunning woman before him, Gu Qing's face lit up with joy.

SS rank!

Unexpectedly, she summoned an SS-rank corrupted saintess, and her loyalty was always 100%, so there was no need to worry about her being too powerful and disobedient.

Gu Qing quickly checked the attributes of this fallen saintess.

【Cecilia, the Fallen Saintess】

[Rank: SS]

[Level: 1]

Loyalty: 100%

[Attributes: Strength: 20; Constitution: 30; Agility: 30; Spirit: 40]

Skill 1: Fallen Light

[Effect: Releases a corrupted holy light interwoven with black and white, dealing damage to enemies with both light and abyss attributes. This skill's damage is affected by the spirit attribute; the higher the spirit, the higher the damage.]

[Note: This effect also inflicts Holy Light Disorder on Light-based classes.]

[Note: This effect provides a stable boost to undead units and other dark creatures.]

[Skill 2: Reverse Saint's Blessing]

[Effect: Applies the Fallen Seal to the target, continuously restoring injuries and mental strength.]

[Note: Increases resistance to purges against undead units and other dark creatures.]

[Note: This may cause some distortion and interference with healing from Light-based magic.]

[Skill 3: Chains of the Fallen]

[Effect: Summons chains of fallen holy light, binding the target's body and class energy.]

[Note: This adds extra Holy Light cost to targets of the Light element.]

[Skill 4: Feathers of Sacrifice]

[Effect: Unfolds tattered holy feathers to form a shield, protecting the target from one fatal attack.]

[After the shield breaks, it reflects damage back to the attacker.]

Passive Skill: The Nemesis of Hypocrisy

The Fallen Saintess was once sacrificed to the Holy Light, making her extremely sensitive to distorted light. When the target possesses the attribute of Light and harbors strong negative emotions such as jealousy, betrayal, malice, or vanity, all of the Fallen Saintess's skills are enhanced; conversely, the purer the target's beliefs, the weaker the effect.

Gu Qing was stunned. He knew that the attributes of SS-rank abyssal creatures must be very high, but he did not expect them to be this high!

Keep in mind that even with his attributes maxed out before his job change, he only had 10 points in each of the four basic attributes. But this Fallen Saintess Cecilia already has such terrifying basic attributes at level one.

Moreover, she has four starting skills! Plus a passive skill!

Gu Qing's necromancer apprentice had no skills, and even after advancing to necromancer, he only gained two more initial skills.

The difference in social class was fully demonstrated at this moment.

Just then, Cecilia slowly descended from mid-air, her black and white saintly skirt sweeping across the scorched earth of the mass grave, her bare feet untouched by any speck of dust.

She knelt down on one knee before Gu Qing, her fair and slender neck bowed in submission.

A white light emerged from her body and quickly entered Gu Qing's body.

The master-servant contract with 100% loyalty has been officially established.

'Buzz~'

The moment the contract was reached, a fragment of memory flowed into Gu Qing's mind along with the soul contract.

A magnificent and unbelievable hall of light, bloodstained ruins, an enraged pope, endless holy light, and a dark abyss.

Cecilia was once the first saintess of the Church of Light, but she was purified and cast into the abyss after discovering the Church's secrets.

Gu Qing gasped. With his current strength, he was not qualified to wade into the murky waters of the Holy See.

However, the Church of Light has been established for a thousand years, and Cecilia was the first saintess, so she should no longer be in the public eye.

"Owner."

A cool yet subtly alluring voice pulled Gu Qing back to reality.

Cecilia raised her head slightly, her cold gaze falling on the dilapidated altar that was gradually dimming.

On the platform in the center of the altar, two badges of the Holy See belonging to Zhang Haoran and Su Qing lay quietly.

At this moment, the two badges were flashing a faint, rhythmic white light, like two deadly eyes in the dark mass grave.

Zhang Haoran and Su Qing were sacrificed, leaving not even ashes, but unexpectedly, these two badges are still there.

"This Emblem of Light has high-level tracking and death reporting effects," Cecilia said calmly. "The Holy See's inquisition squad will probably be here soon, following the coordinates. We'd better leave immediately."

Gu Qing's heart tightened, and then he looked at Cecilia's extremely eye-catching figure and outfit.

"Can you hide?" Gu Qing asked.

Cecilia nodded: "The contract is complete. I have my own contract space."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing immediately sent Cecilia into the contract space and quickly left the area.

......

Half an hour later, Gu Qing returned to a dimly lit rented room in a village in Lin'an.

Gu Qing locked the door, drew the curtains, and then turned on the light.

After washing her face with cold water, Gu Qing gradually calmed down.

Tonight's harvest was enormous!

It can only be described as a miraculous transformation.

Afterwards, Gu Qing checked the simplified upgrade conditions for the Phantom Contract Envoy.

[Simplified: Feeding or making physical contact with higher-level abyssal creatures grants one experience point per instance.]

Experience: 0/1000

Cecilia is a high-level abyssal creature, so it seems I can save some money by feeding her at the Monster Garden.

Feeding? Physical contact?

Release Cecilia, buy her some instant noodles and sausages, and pat her head and hold her hand. Her experience will increase like drinking water.

It seems that the Phantom Contract Master's advancement is just around the corner.

Just then, a notification sound appeared in Gu Qing's mind.

[Ding~ Special reminder to the host: In order to maintain a constant 100% loyalty between the host and the contracted creature, the host needs to periodically reach specific stability-maintaining conditions with the contracted creature.]

If the agreement is not reached within a prolonged period, the contracted creature will face a mental breakdown, ultimately leading to the self-destruction of its soul and complete dissipation.

Gu Qing's smile froze, her brows furrowed. 100% loyalty wasn't given for nothing; it came with conditions.

Conditions for maintaining stability?

What are Cecilia's conditions for maintaining stability?

What spiritual materials does the fallen saintess need to enhance her strength or maintain her original power?

High-level monster crystal cores? Or perhaps special ores containing the power of the abyss?

Either way, it would require a lot of money, right?

Just then, a notification sound appeared.

The conditions for maintaining stability for the Fallen Saintess Cecilia are as follows.

[One: The host needs to provide holy liquid to soothe its twisted origins.]

[Second: To cater to Cecilia's hobbies in order to soothe her prone to extreme emotions.]

Gu Qing raised an eyebrow.

What is holy elixir? It sounds very precious. Where is he going to get it?

We also need to cater to Cecilia's hobbies!

Is she the master or am I the master?

Just then, a ripple appeared in the space in front of her, and Cecilia emerged from the contract space, holding a whip in her hand.

At this moment, Cecilia no longer possessed the sacred and serene feeling she had when she was in the mass grave.

The black and white saintly robe she was wearing, which had originally been perfectly fitted, was now half-undone.

Her neckline was wide open, revealing a large expanse of pale white skin. The trembling, snow-white skin, combined with the waist outlined by a delicate gold chain, was breathtaking.

Those eyes, which had originally carried an air of nonchalance and aloofness, were now brimming with emotion.

"Master... please grant my wish..."
