Having finally gotten rid of Yue Zhilan, Chu Wuyao didn't hesitate to take the Soul Card out and put her body in, afraid that she would wake up and continue pestering her.
Only when Yue Zhilan's body disappeared did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"Master, why don't you just kill that crazy woman and let me swallow her soul?"
"There is also that strange Magic Weapon. I can sense that it has bad intentions towards Master."
"It is very dangerous and we should destroy it before it is too late!", Cthulhu suddenly stood up and said solemnly.
In fact, the reason it said these words was because Cthulhu had become a little nervous.
It remembered that just not long ago, it was the only pet of his Master and could fully enjoy her attention.
But now, two more "competitors" had appeared in a short period of time.
In Cthulhu's mind, these two women were fighting against her, hoping to get its Master's attention.
Cthulhu would never allow such thing to happen!
"Let's ignore Yue Zhilan for now. Whether we destroy that Magic Weapon depends on what choice it makes.", Chu Wuyao replied and waved her hand, controlling the Blood Flag to fly to her hand.
Holding it tightly and feeling the coldness on the flagpole's surface, Chu Wuyao calmly observed Li Ruoshi.
Compared to the last time she saw her, Li Ruoshi's appearance had now become quite haggard and her soul had turned even more transparent, looking like a candle that was about to go out the next second.
Of course, Li Ruoshi couldn't be blamed for her current state.
For more than a week, she had been continuously fighting against the Lifeblood Flame, that was constantly trying to burn her and would only stop just when she was about to die.
The pain, coupled with the damage she suffered would be unbearable for any ordinary person.
It could even be said that it was very impressive that she managed to retain her sanity and hadn't turned crazy.
While Chu Wuyao was observing her, Li Ruoshi also looked at Chu Wuyao with complicated eyes.
"What do you want?", she hesitated for a bit, but finally chose to speak up.
By now, Li Ruoshi had understood that her previous thoughts were wrong.
Although Chu Wuyao didn't kill her, she didn't seem to attach much importance to her potential to become a Dao Weapon.
This could be seen from the fact that she hadn't paid any attention to her for so long.
Moreover, from everything Li Ruoshi had seen, Chu Wuyao wasn't as simple as she appeared to be.
This was very obvious from that weird black cat, as well as the terrifying changes that Yue Zhilan had gone through.
"No wonder she was able to kill me despite the difference in our cultivation.", Li Ruoshi thought and some of the reluctance she had to have died in Chu Wuyao's hands disappeared.
The moment that thought arose, Li Ruoshi felt that her soul had become a little more light, as if the weight she had been carrying all this time had fallen off.
It was impossible for Chu Wuyao to know Li Ruoshi's thoughts, but she could roughly guess what she was thinking.
After all, no matter how tough Li Ruoshi's mentality was, having been tortured for so long, it was inevitable that her way of thinking would change.
"I want you to promise that you'll serve me for 500 years to the best of your ability."
"After these 500 years pass, I can promise that I'll help you obtain a human body.", Chu Wuyao said the terms of the agreement she had decided.
When Li Ruoshi heard her offer, she was stunned.
It wasn't because she felt that these terms of the agreement were unacceptable, but because she felt that these terms were actually quite favorable towards her.
Since she had become a Magic Weapon, her lifespan was theoretically limitless and the only way she could die was for the Blood Flag to be completely destroyed.
Of course, this was only in theory.
In reality, it was impossible for her to live forever, unless she was promoted to a Dao Weapon or went even further.
Even so, 500 years were nothing for her.
Let alone for a Magic Weapon, even for cultivators, 500 years were not too many.
After all, this is not Earth, where the lifespan of an ordinary human is only about 70 years.
As a cultivator's cultivation gets higher, their lifespan will naturally also increase.
The average lifespan of a Qi Accumulation Realm cultivator is about 150 years, while the average lifespan of a Shackles Realm cultivator is about 400 years.
Once a cultivator reaches the Awakening Realm, they will be able to live for about 1000 years.
This meant that although these 500 years seemed a lot for an ordinary person, it was only half the lifespan of an Awakening Realm cultivator.
"I agree!",Li Ruoshi pretended to hesitate for a few seconds and then agreed.
Seeing that Li Ruoshi agreed so easily, Chu Wuyao understood that the terms of the agreement seemed to be a little disadvantageous towards her.
However, while 500 years were not a lot for other cultivators, they were more than enough for Chu Wuyao.
With her extraordinary qualifications and her supreme intelligence, Chu Wuyao believed that in 500 years, she would have reached the Supernatural Realm and would no longer care about a mere Dao Weapon. Discover exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire
Of course, the system might also be somewhat useful...
"Moreover, I never said that I would let her go. I can just set her free and then kill her.", she thought secretly.
Of course, Chu Wuyao wouldn't say this out loud.
Soon, under her instructions, a Devil and a Magic Weapon signed a Devil's Contract, both feeling quite happy with the agreement.
A smile appeared on Li Ruoshi's indifferent face, oblivious to the fact that Chu Wuyao was already planning how to kill her in the future.
