Up until now, Lin Chen's contract slot had been empty, and the Jiang Feng before him was Lin Chen's best target.
Lin Chen possessed endless, renewable resources. As long as Jiang Feng became Lin Chen's contracted beast and was nurtured by Lin Chen, Lin Chen believed it wouldn't be long before Jiang Feng could break through to the Emperor-level.
Jiang Feng took the energy crystal Lin Chen handed over and silently sensed it.
Instantly, the energy crystal transformed into the purest fire element power, merging into Jiang Feng's body.
Feeling the immense fire element power, Jiang Feng's eyes were filled with shock.
Lin Chen smiled, "Also, I have a place that can make the Xing Yu Giant Tree grow a thousandfold. Are you willing to join me in continuing Yan Ji's legacy?"
Lin Chen finally revealed his ultimate goal. The Spirit World inherently had a hundredfold growth bonus for plants and animals, and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had a tenfold amplification effect on plant growth. It was undoubtedly the most perfect place for the Xing Yu Giant Tree to take root. With the energy crystals provided by Lin Chen, Lin Chen believed it wouldn't be long before the Xing Yu Giant Tree would bear new Fire Calamity Fruits.
The Spirit World was inherently an independent World, and it also possessed various World laws. Lin Chen was the master of the Spirit World and could control everything within it. If Lin Chen's previous idea hadn't materialized, he could also simulate the fire of the heavenly tribulation, which was why he was confident in using this to subdue the Flame Demoness!
Hearing Lin Chen's words, the Flame Demoness's eyes clearly showed hesitation. She didn't doubt Lin Chen's words; anyone who could have a creature of destiny like Qiu'er follow them must be a person of great fortune.
She also hoped most that Yan Ji's legacy could be continued, but it was clear that Lin Chen probably wouldn't be so kind as to help her easily. There was no free lunch in the World, and the Flame Demoness had also transformed from a human, so she still possessed human thinking.
"What are your conditions?" After a moment of contemplation, the Flame Demoness asked what was on her mind.
Lin Chen smiled slightly; the Flame Demoness was clearly a smart person, and talking to smart people was very easy.
"I want you to become my contracted beast!" Lin Chen stated his purpose directly. There was no need to beat around the bush when talking to smart people.
Upon hearing this, the Flame Demoness nodded and said, "Alright!"
Lin Chen was stunned, not expecting his proposal to be accepted so easily by the Flame Demoness. He asked curiously, "You trust me that much?"
The Flame Demoness said, "I trust creatures of destiny!"
Hearing the Flame Demoness's words, Lin Chen suddenly understood. Although the Flame Demoness had transformed from a human, besides her thoughts, she had long been labeled as a "beast"!
"Can you tell me more about destiny?" Lin Chen asked.
The Flame Demoness shook her head and said, "I'm not entirely clear on the specifics. My inherited memory isn't complete, but a person followed by a creature of destiny will definitely not be a bad person, so I trust you!"
Lin Chen nodded gently. The concept of destiny was too ethereal. Now that the Flame Demoness had agreed to his idea, Lin Chen no longer hesitated. "Since that's the case, I won't disappoint you either!" Lin Chen said seriously.
As his words fell, Lin Chen depicted the Summoning system's star dust and signed a Summoning contract with the Flame Demoness.
After doing all this, Lin Chen then took the Xing Yu Giant Tree into the Spirit World and transplanted it by the fire spring in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
This divine operation also astonished the Flame Demoness. The two had already signed a Summoning contract and were of one mind. Jiang Feng's mind received Lin Chen's explanation, and her heart finally calmed down!!!
Not far away, Tang Yue saw the commotion from Lin Chen's side but didn't pay attention. At this moment, her heart was completely occupied by the Xiao Yan Ji in her arms.
As for Lin Chen's methods, she had known about them for a long time and could be said to be accustomed to them.
However, Lingling beside her was very shocked. Although she had been with Lin Chen for so long, Lin Chen had never revealed too much in front of her.
At this moment, Lingling felt a warmth in her heart. Whether it was his Spirit or Lin Chen's incredible methods, Lin Chen had never hidden too much in front of her, clearly treating her as one of his own!
Watching Lin Chen and Jiang Feng slowly walk towards them, Lingling still put away the shock on her face. She didn't want to appear so unworldly in front of Lin Chen!
"Let me introduce you. This is Jiang Feng, and she has established a Summoning contract with me!" Lin Chen introduced Jiang Feng to Tang Yue and Lingling, and then told Jiang Feng about the identities of the two women!
Lin Chen and Jiang Feng's previous actions had long fallen into their eyes, and they had already accepted this fact with equanimity.
Tang Yue said, "That will make things convenient from now on. Lin Chen is my beloved, and with you by our side, Xiao Yan Ji can also grow better!"
Jiang Feng's eyes could not hide her excitement, which was also one of the reasons she agreed to become Lin Chen's contracted beast.
Lin Chen said, "That's right, Xiao Yan Ji will have two mothers from now on!"
Hearing this, Tang Yue smiled brightly, and Jiang Feng was also very happy.
Lingling asked, "Lin Chen, now that Yan Ji has also been contracted, and our purpose for this trip has been achieved, are we going back?"
Lin Chen shook his head and said, "No hurry. Jiang Feng said that a group of humans in the Fire Cloud Forest were attacked by demons. If there are no surprises, it should be Mo Fan and his group. Jiang Feng consumed a lot of life force to awaken Yan Ji and is still a bit weak. You wait for me here for a while; I'll go save them first!"
This was Jiang Feng's first request to her after being contracted. She was worried that her daughter might be among that group of people, which was why she asked Lin Chen to save them.
This trip to the Scorching Plains could be said to have brought Lin Chen immense benefits. Tang Yue contracted Xiao Yan Ji, Lin Chen contracted the Monarch-level Flame Demoness, and he even took away the Xing Yu Heavenly Tree that nurtured Yan Ji.
Lin Chen was not some saint. He was a typical egoist. What did the safety of Mo Fan and the others have to do with him?
Lin Chen had no interest in meddling in other people's affairs.
Mo Fan was also the Son of Fortune of this World; even if Lin Chen didn't intervene, he would be able to turn danger into safety.
And Mo Fan and Lin Chen's goal was both Yan Ji; coming to the Scorching Plains together was originally a matter of each using their own methods.
But now that Chen Ying was involved, and Lin Chen had contracted Jiang Feng, this karma naturally fell upon Lin Chen.
As soon as Lin Chen's words fell, a pair of huge flaming wings unfolded behind him. Under the gaze of Tang Yue and Lingling, Lin Chen soared into the sky, flying towards the Fire Cloud Forest.
In just a moment, Lin Chen arrived above the Fire Cloud Forest.
Due to the dense trees here, Lin Chen's vision was affected, so Lin Chen could only release his mental force and fly at low altitude to explore.
