Chapter 885: Back Spirit ContractTranslator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Sheng Xiao didn’t know much about tattoos, so he asked Yu Huang, “Do you have a tattooist you like? I’ll accompany you to the tattoo shop after we leave the Kunlun Mystic Realm.”
Yu Huang blinked her eyes. With a naughty look, she said, “I want you to tattoo it on me personally. Only then will you have a deep impression of it.”
Sheng Xiao’s drawing skills were passable, but not everyone who knew how to draw could do tattoos. Sheng Xiao felt that this was a challenge.
But since Yu Huang had asked, Sheng Xiao couldn’t bear to refuse. “Okay… I’ll learn.”
The two of them were talking when they saw Donor and Estelle return together. Donor walked in front while Estelle followed silently.
Donor still looked very dejected, but it was obvious that he was no longer angered and agitated. Estelle lowered his head and followed behind obediently. Although he looked a little guilty, he was no longer as nervous as before.
From the looks of it, they had reconciled.
After Donor stopped in front of Sheng Xiao and the others, he said with a dark expression, “I want to form an alliance with him. You and Yu Huang will testify for us.”
Sheng Xiao mocked Donor. “As the crown prince of the Light Clan, there are at least ten thousand people who want to form a Back Spirit Contract with you. Why do you want Estelle to be your partner?”
Ten minutes ago, Donor had said that he wouldn’t form a contract with Estelle. Now, he had changed his mind, so Sheng Xiao naturally had to tease him.
Upon hearing this, Donor flushed with annoyance, but he explained awkwardly and proudly, “Estelle pestered me and begged me to form a Back Spirit Contract with him. I’ve always been benevolent and kind. I couldn’t bear to see Estelle disappointed, so I reluctantly agreed.”
In short, he wasn’t in the wrong.
Sheng Xiao raised his eyebrows mysteriously and asked, “Oh, I see.” Sheng Xiao suddenly wanted to tease him even more, so he said to Estelle, “Estelle, in terms of strength and talent, I’m more powerful than Donor. Elves can form Back Spirit Contracts with humans too. Since Donor is in such a difficult position, why don’t you form a Back Spirit Contract with me?”
Yu Huang chuckled when she heard this, and Estelle revealed a helpless expression.
Donor blushed when he heard that and immediately roared at Sheng Xiao, “Sheng Xiao, I pestered Estelle for a few days before he agreed to be my Back Spirit. Are you trying to snatch my partner?!”
Sheng Xiao smiled playfully. “You said so yourself.”
Donor was speechless.
Donor flew into a rage and couldn’t help but lose his temper at Estelle. “Are you going to sign the Back Spirit Contract or not? If you won’t, let’s forget it!”
Estelle quickly nodded. “Let’s sign the Back Spirit Contract!”
“Hmph, then let’s settle it.” Donor ignored Sheng Xiao and said to Yu Huang, “Yu Huang, please be our witness.”
Yu Huang rubbed her hands and joked, “This atmosphere makes me feel like I’m about to become a marriage certifier.”
Donor said sternly, “In our Elve Clan, the Back Spirit Contract is as sacred and grand as a wedding ceremony. Once the contract is formed, unless you die, the contract cannot be broken.”
Yu Huang nodded seriously. “I understand. Then what do I need to prepare?”
Donor said, “You don’t have to do anything. You just have to follow the ritual process I told you about.”
“Okay.”
Donor took out a golden candle from his interspatial ring. The candle was stored in a light golden sandalwood box and was extremely well-preserved.
Donor told them, “This is a contract candle. After every elf who has awakened their beast form reaches adulthood, they can receive a contract candle in the Beast Tamer Alliance.”
“Just one.”
Donor handed the candle to Yu Huang and said, “Please help us light it.”
Estelle couldn’t help but ask, “Why didn’t I get one?”
Donor rolled his eyes at him and said, “The Night Elves can’t enter the city. Your Beast Tamer Certificate was only obtained after you entered the Holy Spirit Academy. How could you get a contract candle?”
Estelle felt wronged and muttered, “Is it my fault? Isn’t it because you guys created these unfair rules?”
Donor was rendered speechless.
When Yu Huang lit the contract candle, Donor suddenly said, “When I go back, I’ll apply to my father to allow the Night Elves to enter the city for a day every month.”
The Light Elves’ disdain and disregard for the Night Elves was engraved in their bones. Even Donor couldn’t ask the Elven Emperor to make reforms.
It wouldn’t be easy to apply for allowing the Night Elves to enter the city for a day every month.
Estelle looked at Donor in surprise. Seeing that Donor was serious and not joking, he said softly, “Thank you.”
Seeing Estelle’s happy and expectant reaction, Donor couldn’t help but add, “I might not succeed, but I’ll try.”
“The fact that Your Highness is so considerate is enough. I will thank you on behalf of all the Night Elves.”
Donor’s ears turned red from Estelle’s praise.
Seeing that the contract candle had been lit, Yu Huang asked again, “What next?”
Donor took out an earring from his storage device.
Donor had piercings in his ears, one on each side. On major festivals of the Elve Clan, such as the Sacrifice Festival, the Elven King’s birthday, and the anniversary of his death, he would change into the Elven Prince’s attire and wear custom-made identity earrings.
The earring in his hand was a blood-red earring. He told Estelle, “On the day I was born, my mother personally pierced my earlobe with this earring. It has accompanied me since I was a baby.”
“Every time the country celebrates an important anniversary, I wear it to important occasions. Today, I will give one to you.”
With that, Donor took out his dagger and used the sharp tip of the dagger to cut the center of his eyebrows. After his fair skin was cut, a drop of golden blood flowed out.
Donor pressed the earring to the wound on his forehead. As soon as the two came into contact, the drop of blood quickly fused with the earring.
A golden pattern appeared on the blood-red gem earring.
Donor raised the earring and told Estelle, “There’s a drop of blood essence hidden between the eyebrows of us elves. After we drop the blood essence into the token we carry with us and give it to the other party, the two of us will successfully form a contract.”
Donor handed the earring to Estelle and said, “Estelle, I’m willing to become your Back Spirit. From now on, we’ll fight the enemy hand in hand, advance and retreat together. We’ll never betray or abandon each other.”
“If you violate your oath, your soul will definitely dissipate and you will never be able to reincarnate.”
As Estelle stared at the blood-red earring on Donor’s fingertip, he didn’t nod in agreement immediately. Instead, he revealed an embarrassed expression.
