The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard-Chapter 673: Master-Servant Contract_1

"Ninth-Grade Lotus Platform!"

Delaney Hunter looked at the plant in front of her with astonishment, her expression a mix of shock and delight.

The Lotus Platform kind of Spiritual Medicine is incredibly scarce, not to mention one that needs a thousand years to reach the Ninth-Grade.

Carson Flores’s fortune is just too strong.

How could he stumble upon this?

After inspecting it for a moment, Delaney smiled and said, "You’re quite lucky, this Ninth-Grade Lotus Platform is a top-grade Spiritual Medicine. If you combine it with other ingredients and refine it into elixirs, strengthening your powers and advancing a level shouldn’t be a problem. Are you really okay with giving it to me?"

Carson’s eyes were calm, fluctuating not in the slightest as he smiled and said, "We are neither kith nor kin, and yet, Senior Sister is willing to impart her Unique Mastery to me. A mere Ninth-Grade Lotus Platform is nothing in comparison; I have no regrets about giving it away."

Delaney hesitated for a moment, then laughed and said, "It’s usually the Senior Sister who should give a welcoming gift, yet here it is the other way around. This time I came to provide protection, but also to look for certain important items. This Ninth-Grade Lotus Platform is of great use to me, truly a rare find. I won’t stand on ceremony then and will accept it graciously."

Delaney initially didn’t want to accept, but as she said, such a thing was incredibly rare and significantly helpful to her.

Carson is only at the Golden Core Initial Stage, his realm still low. To help Carson improve his strength, there are other elixirs or methods that can take the place, so for him to use the Ninth-Grade Lotus Platform to upgrade his strength would indeed be a waste.

With Delaney accepting his Ninth-Grade Lotus Platform, she naturally would compensate Carson in other ways. As a Senior Sister, how could she let a Junior Brother, new to the Cultivation Realm, suffer a loss?

Carson smiled and said, "Senior Sister, please don’t be polite with me. I’ve also harvested plenty of Spiritual Medicines. For self-cultivation and elixir refinement, I have enough."

Delaney asked in surprise, "Plenty more? Is your luck really that good?"

Carson, inconvenient to mention the Life Essence Pearl, could only smile and say, "Indeed, my luck is good. Even before entering the mortal realm, I had several encounters with Cultivators, gaining many benefits."

Delaney smiled and said, "That’s great to hear. Fortune is a mysterious thing. For Cultivators, having fortune, even with lesser talent, can ultimately lead to great accomplishments."

Delaney reached into her bag and pulled out the Vajra Vine that was possessed by a tree demon, smiling as she said, "I will also present you with a welcoming gift then."

Carson looked curiously at the tiny vine seedling, asking with interest, "What is this?"

Delaney casually released the bindings she had placed earlier: "The tree demon’s original body was destroyed by me, and its Nascent Soul fled, possessing this Vajra Vine. Then I caught it. Although it’s very weak now, it’s ultimately a Nascent Soul. Given enough time and some help, it can rapidly recover its strength and also become an asset to you."

Carson’s eyes widened with surprise and excitement.

This tree demon was at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection! freeweɓnovel-cøm

Even though its original body was destroyed, its Nascent Soul remained. Provided the conditions are met, it could soon return to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage!

Amidst his excitement, Carson couldn’t help but worry, "She is at Nascent Soul Great Perfection, and I’m just at Golden Core Initial Stage. I can suppress her now, but once she recovers her strength..."

Delaney, looking down at the vine seedling in her hand, sternly commanded, "Now you have two choices: either perish completely and disappear, or offer up your True Soul and sign a master-servant soul contract. Choose one!"

A master-servant soul contract, mainly serving to the death; it only requires the master’s thought to annihilate the True Soul. No matter how powerful the servant, even with incredible abilities, they could be killed instantly. Additionally, if the master dies, the servant must also die. This ensures that servants unconditionally obey their master’s orders and lay down their lives to protect them.

The master lives, so does the servant.

The tree demon chose subjugation without hesitation: "I am willing to sign the contract."

Even the most unequal master-servant contract for a demon is better than death; for once dead, all is lost!

The tree demon evolved intelligence over thousands of years and with some chance advancements, finally reached Nascent Soul Great Perfection. How could she wish for death?

A green glow flashed from the vine seedling. Delaney reached out and patted it towards Carson’s forehead, "Open your heart!"

Delaney’s finger shone as she touched Carson’s forehead.

Carson felt his mind blank, as if a new consciousness had emerged—that of the tree demon’s True Soul.

No matter the tree demon’s sentiment towards Carson, having voluntarily offered the True Soul to sign the master-servant contract, it was now Carson’s servant, bound to follow his orders, unless it no longer wished to live.

Delaney handed the vine to Carson, "It has just completed possession and is very weak now. After a little time to integrate, it will have some combat power. But to return to its original state, it will need a lot of resources. If you have surplus cultivation resources, you can feed them to her to help her rapidly improve. With the master-servant contract in place, no matter how strong she becomes, you don’t have to worry about her turning on you."

Carson curiously asked, "Would something like Spiritual Medicine work?"

Delaney answered, "Of course, although she is a demon, it’s not much different from Cultivators. Spiritual Medicines don’t even need to be refined, she can consume them directly."

Carson was overjoyed. If there was anything he was short on, it wasn’t Spiritual Medicines—he had more than enough!
