"But what?" Li Chen swallowed his saliva as he looked at the beautiful face of the black phoenix that was a little excessive.

The Black Phoenix indifferently glanced at Li Chen. Each and every action of its expression was captivating.

The not very bright room was illuminated by a Night Illumination Pearl. The night wind blew into the room from Li Chen's broken window, causing the tent to flutter gently. It was matched with the Black Phoenix's enchanter face.

"There's a way for me to break the seal and leave this place …." The black phoenix spoke and looked outside. Outside, it was pitch black, and not even the moon could be seen. It was unknown what she was looking at.

"What method?" Li Chen instinctively asked.

The dark phoenix seemed to hesitate. "I haven't decided on whether or not I should do that …"

There were some cracks on the Black Phoenix's cold expression. "That matter will only bring you benefits and no harm …" It's just that I'm not sure yet... "Do you want to go from one cage to the other?" As she spoke, the black phoenix shook her head. As Li Chen's pet, the only benefit she had was the removal of the seal … As for this young man before him, he couldn't even defeat himself. If he were to meet an opponent in the future, he would only be throwing his life away.

Looking at the Black Phoenix's silent attitude, Li Chen could not help but mutter in his heart.

However, the Dark Phoenix changed its mind. This brat's body must have some ability since it sealed the Ruins of Kunlun! He might not be able to recognize people, but it couldn't be that the people of the Ruins couldn't recognize people either, right?

Thinking about this, the black phoenix had some thoughts, "Li Chen! "Are you really willing to help me leave this place!?"

Li Chen nodded, "Go ahead! What do you want me to do? "

"Contract me!" The black phoenix said.

A contract? Was it the contract he was thinking of? This was a divine beast, a Black Phoenix! A Divine level Phoenix had a master of the Martial Disciple realm? Isn't this too strange!

Looking at Li Chen's astonished face, the black phoenix raised its eyebrows and said, "You don't want that, right?"

"Of course not!" Li Chen quickly denied it, "I was just thinking that you're joking with me! After all, my strength is here! And he might even die one day! "

"Wait a minute!" The Black Phoenix interrupted Li Chen. "I do not wish to sign a master-slave contract with you, but an equal contract with you!"

The two contracts seemed to be separated by only two words, but in truth, they were like heaven and earth. After the master and servant contract was signed, once Li Chen died, the black phoenix would also die, but the equality contract was different. The two contracts were closely interconnected, but they would not interfere with each other.

But for the current Li Chen, no matter what kind of contract he signed, he had already earned! Naturally, he did not hesitate to say, "Then let's sign it! This way, even if you want to leave, I will let you go! "

When the two of them reached an agreement, Li Chen stretched out his hand in front of the black phoenix's face and recited, "I, Li Chen, will contract the Black Phoenix's equality in the name of the War God and take effect in time!"

On the other side, the Black Phoenix also closed its eyes and read out, "My Divine Rank Black Phoenix Beast will use the name of the War God to conclude an equality contract with Li Chen today. It will take effect in time!"

As he said this, a milky white light instantly spread out from the bottom of their feet, finally enveloping the two of them. When the light faded, Li Chen faintly felt that there was a mysterious connection between him and the black phoenix.

I hope that we can support each other in the future. However, during this period of time, I might not be able to help you much.

"Then how can you recover your strength faster!" Li Chen asked. This kind of feeling was like someone told you that you shouldn't touch the thing inside the vault when you had a gold vault. He had a top quality expert, but he couldn't help himself.

"I need the magicite cores." The black phoenix said, "I can absorb the energy from the magical beast cores to recover."

Magical beast cores? Li Chen swallowed his saliva and asked, "How much do you want?"

"I'm not sure either." Seemingly not understanding Li Chen's predicament, the black phoenix continued, "It would be best if the cores of those high level magical beasts were here. Do you have them?"

Li Chen's eyes immediately widened. He searched his pockets for the crystal core of a high-grade magical beast. A crystal core that was emitting a faint light appeared in his hand.

The black phoenix looked closer. Li Chen could only smell a refreshing fragrance that smelled good in an instant.

"One … Class 2 Magical Beast's … Crystal Core? " The Black Phoenix had a strange expression on her face.

Li Chen was so angry that he just wanted to roll his eyes. Listening to Phoenix's tone, it seemed that he disapproved of this crystal core, but it was already Li Chen's only crystal core.

She took Li Chen's crystal core and said, "Even though I'm only at the Second Rank, it's enough for me to cultivate for a period of time. After I finish cultivating, you can just give me a few more …"

Give her a few more! Oh my ancestors! Do you think crystal cores are like cabbages everywhere? Li Chen was speechless and could only roll his eyes.

"I'll go train first …"

With these words, the Black Phoenix disappeared into thin air.

Li Chen looked inside his body, helplessly shook his head, then walked over to the bedside.

Li Chen stretched out his hand to touch it. The extremely soft feeling made him feel a little sleepy. He thought about it for a moment and realized that the biggest secret of the courtyard was the Black Phoenix. He then closed his eyes and laid back on the bed.

A pleasant fragrance wafted from the Black Phoenix's body into Li Chen's nose. The slim figure of the Black Phoenix appeared in his mind and he slowly fell asleep.

Three days had passed, and Li Chen went to open the gate early in the morning.

The door was opened and the servants who were about to enter were startled. When they saw Li Chen walking out unscathed, they could not help but exclaim in fear, "Are you a human or a ghost?!"

Li Chen looked at the bright sun in the sky and said, "Of course I'm human! Can't you tell? "

A few of the servants seemed to be in disbelief. "You actually came out alive!?" "It's not that there's …"

"What is it?" Li Chen retorted with anger in his heart. These people all knew that there was something terrifying here! Yet, he didn't tell him, because he wanted to kill him! It was too hateful!

The attendants hurriedly shook their heads, pretending that they didn't say anything.

Li Chen coldly snorted. He was too lazy to bother with them, "Quickly go and check! After I finish my investigation, I'm going to the family to submit my mission! "

The servants looked at each other. Finally, they mustered up their courage and walked in. However, the sight that greeted their eyes greatly surprised them.

As far as the eye could see, grass and trees were neatly trimmed, a huge difference compared to the dilapidated old courtyard!

"This!" The few waiters stared wide-eyed as if they couldn't believe that Li Chen had actually managed to clean up the courtyard and appeared before them unharmed. Previously, they had thought that Li Chen might have only tricked them by not entering the courtyard and stayed outside for three days before pretending to be inside.

"What!?" Is it up to your requirements!? "

A sinister female voice suddenly sounded beside their ears. A few servants shuddered before shouting, "Ghosts!" They all fled.

Li Chen rubbed his nose, "I was just joking with you guys!" Is there a need to be so afraid!? "

At this time, the Black Phoenix's disdainful voice rang out: "Hmph! A bunch of cowards! "

Li Chen smiled. "Speaking of which, when I heard you singing that night, I also felt a little scared!"

The night Li Chen spoke of, the black phoenix naturally knew what day he was talking about. It smiled and said, "Then I will sing a dozen songs in your ears every night and guarantee that you will have nightmares every day!"

"Don't!"

Li Chen quickly interrupted, "You should cultivate properly! I still want to get a good night's sleep! "

The news of Li Chen's safe return quickly reached Li Tianxing's ears. On the third day, Li Tianxing was happily sipping tea, waiting for the servants to come and report on Li Chen's death. After waiting for a long time, he heard that Li Chen had returned alive! Instantly, he spat a mouthful of tea into the distance.

Just as he was about to ask more clearly, he heard Li Chen's indifferent voice enter his ears: "Manager Li, are you that excited about the news of my return!? I can't even drink tea anymore! "

"Li Chen!" Li Tianxing clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could smash Li Chen's smiling face into pieces!

Unfortunately, no matter how infuriated he was, that face was still perfectly intact as it appeared in front of him! Not only did it appear perfectly fine in front of him, it even deserved a beating!

Li Chen saw that Li Tianxing's anger was getting stronger and stronger, but his expression was getting happier and happier. In the past, the hatred between him and Li Tianxing had yet to reach the point of life and death, but now, it had already reached the point of either you dying or me dying!

Fortunately, Li Tianxing didn't dare to openly kill him. He could only use these insignificant techniques to kill him! With the Black Phoenix as a backup, Li Chen's heart was filled with confidence.

"Manager Li, if there's nothing else, can I take my reward now?"

"Of course you can!" Li Tianxing squeezed these words out of his throat with great difficulty as he tried his best to calm his surging blood and Qi.

Li Chen thought for a moment, "I went to look at my task level, but it didn't seem to be a low level mission like you said. It was a high level mission in the family, after I finish the mission, can I receive a high level reward?"

Li Tianxing was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He couldn't help but wave his hand, "You may leave first! I will give you the reward truthfully! "

"Don't make me wait too long!" Li Chen looked at Li Tianxing with eyes full of ridicule, "After all, Manager Li, who can give my items to others as he pleases, is truly not a person who has any credibility in front of me …"

With that, Li Chen turned and walked away. The moment he turned around, he seemed to hear the sound of porcelain being smashed on the ground.
