Song Shuhang said, "Wait a moment! Sign a ghost spirit contract with Senior Sister Ye Si?"

"Yes," Pavilion Master Chu replied. "You don't have to be this surprised. After all, the constitution of the current Ye Si is more similar to that of a ghost spirit than a human."

Song Shuhang panicked.

This was a big problem. Was it possible that Senior Sister Ye was bound to sign a contract with another person one day, just like other ghost spirits did?

Such being the case, what would he do if Ye Si were to sign a contract with someone else while the two of them were in love?

Would they have a third wheel spying on them through the ghost contract each time they went on a date?

If the contractor was a woman, it wouldn't be that bad.

But if the contractor was a man, and he and Senior Sister Ye were to become partners—the type that had sex—would the man that had signed the ghost spirit contract feel as though he was personally doing it with Shuhang?

Just the thought was scary enough.

It was a big no-no! If he and Senior Sister Ye were to become partners, he absolutely couldn't let her sign a contract with someone else! Not even with a woman!

But here came the second problem... it was actually possible to force the target to sign the ghost spirit contract!

If the strength of the opposite party was very high, they could force Senior Sister Ye to sign the ghost spirit contract. Even Song Shuhang himself had signed the contract with his ghost spirit only after subduing it.

In other words, there was a chance that his first love could be abducted and forced to sign a contract at any time!

The situation was so bad that it made one helpless!

Such being the case, it was simply too dangerous to allow Senior Sister Ye to leave the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion.

Due to the fear, Song Shuhang immediately woke up from the dream.

❄️❄️❄️

August 6th, Tuesday.

After waking up, Song Shuhang discovered that he was still lying on the floor of the Celestial Pavilion. Due to his bad posture while lying down, his neck was somewhat sore.

"For how long have I slept?" Shuhang muttered to himself. Due to the time he passed in the 'Lower City' of the Time City, the time displayed on his mobile phone and watch was out of synch.

In addition, there wasn't a clock inside Pavilion Master Chu's room. Therefore, he had no idea for how long he had slept.

Song Shuhang looked at Pavilion Master Chu and Senior Sister Ye who were lying on the bed, gently sighing.

Senior Sister Ye's physique was a big problem!

An ordinary ghost spirit wouldn't attract the attention of a powerful cultivator... but Senior Sister Ye was very special. She was already a Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperor, something even more valuable than a high-rank ghost spirit.

Even a Seventh Stage Spiritual Venerable or Eighth Stage Profound Sage that hadn't a ghost spirit yet wouldn't mind forcing her to sign a ghost spirit contract.

Therefore, he absolutely couldn't take Senior Sister Ye away from the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion before solving this problem.

Was his first love going to turn into a long-distance relationship?

❄️❄️❄️

After a hollow laugh, Song Shuhang quietly withdrew from the Celestial Pavilion. From the looks of it, Senior Sister Ye and Pavilion Master Chu were still going to sleep for a while. Therefore, Song Shuhang felt that it was a bit embarrassing to stay in the Celestial Pavilion and keep looking at the two sleeping beauties.

In that case, where should I go first?

Right, I should look for Li Yinzhu.

After they entered the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion, Li Yinzhu fell into slumber due to her cold disease flaring up, and it was unknown what her current condition was.

After coming out of the ice, the little girl had grown very attached to Song Shuhang and was rather reluctant to part with him. Would she start to panic if she were to discover that Song Shuhang wasn't by her side after waking up?

Thereupon, Song Shuhang quickly left the Celestial Pavilion and arrived at the entrance.

Then, just as Song Shuhang entered the range of the entrance of the Celestial Pavilion, a crystal tower supported by stone columns rose from the ground.

"?" Song Shuhang.

Wait a moment, isn't that the surveillance system?

But why has the defense system of the Celestial Pavilion activated even though I was coming out from inside the pavilion!

Was it possible that the defense system had recognized him as an illegal trespasser of the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion?

Song Shuhang promptly reacted and put his strength in his feet, vigorously jumping backward! Since he was dealing with a defense system, everything should turn out okay as long as he returned inside the Celestial Pavilion, right?

But just as Song Shuhang jumped backward, a gigantic net appeared out of nowhere and wrapped him up.

In the next moment, ten chains shot out of the crystal tower supported by the stone columns and tied Song Shuhang up, making him dangle in front of the entrance of the Celestial Pavilion in a posture similar to the '大' character.

Song Shuhang felt a huge sense of shame by dangling in front of the entrance in that position.

"No!" Song Shuhang called out. Then, he instinctively started to struggle.

But how could a puny cultivator of the Second Stage break free of the defense system that Pavilion Master Chu had arranged personally?

The more he was struggling, the tighter his bindings were getting.

He, who originally had the shape of the 大 character, was pulled with even more force, almost assuming a posture similar to the 土 character. His legs were pulled to the point of reaching a 180-degree angle!

If not for the fact his constitution had strengthened quite a lot recently and become more flexible, he would have almost passed away from this split.

"Painful, painful, painful! My muscles are about to get torn!" Song Shuhang wanted to cry but had no tears. "Pavilion Master Chu, quickly wake up! It's me! I'm not an enemy! Quickly release me!"

But how could he so easily wake up the fast asleep Pavilion Master Chu?

As if that wasn't enough, the place where he was at this time was the 'forbidden area' of the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion. Unless there was some important matter, the ordinary disciples of the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion wouldn't come to this place.

Therefore, no one could hear his screams.

Shuhang started to get anxious.

❄️❄️❄️

Right at this time, a cold wind suddenly blew over, making Song Shuhang shiver.

Having his legs pulled in that way was surely painful.

As if that wasn't enough, Song Shuhang felt that his bladder was starting to swell—he had the urge to urinate.

The urge to urinate worked in mysterious ways. Sometimes, if one didn't pay it any mind, they would be able to endure for a long time. But as soon as they remembered about it, the urge would keep getting stronger and stronger and more difficult to resist.

Song Shuhang's face whitened.

The already bad situation had become even worse!

"Save me! Save me~ No matter who it is, please, save me!" Song Shuhang shouted as loudly as he could.

He didn't want dangle in front of the entrance in a 土-like position and wet his pants!

"Pavilion Master Chu, quickly wake up! Senior Sister Ye, Senior Sister Ye, you also wake up quickly!"

"No matter who it is, just save me!"

"If you don't release me, I'll pee in front of the entrance of your pavilion! And I'm someone who keeps his word!"

"Is there anyone around here?!"

"Dammit, Pavilion Master Chu's bedroom couldn't possibly have a soundproof barrier, right?"

After shouting for a while, Song Shuhang got tired, and even his voice had become dispirited.

He had lost hope... he no longer held any hope for this world full of evil.

It's bad. I feel that I'm about to pee.

I have to divert my attention and think about something else quickly.

Right, the main characters in wuxia novels can use their internal energy to drive out the strength of the alcohol whenever they get drunk. In that case, can I drive out the urine?

Perhaps I've really found the solution. I've opened the dantian in my body, several of them actually! The current me should be even stronger than those martial experts in wuxia novels. Therefore, I should be able to...

Be able my a*s!

What's the point of driving my urine out? I will directly wet my pants if I do that!

Dammit. I have to divert my attention. I have to divert my attention very quickly.

Right, if I silently chant ❮Ksitigarbha's Soul Ferrying Scripture❯ several times, it's possible that my comprehension of the Soul Ferrying Technique might get more profound.

Thereupon, Song Shuhang started to silently chant ❮Ksitigarbha's Soul Ferrying Scripture❯ to divert his attention.

It seems that it was actually of some use...

In that case, it's better to chant it a few times.

Hold on! Just diverting my attention seems too passive! I should try to do something... perhaps I can use the secret appraisal technique and appraise the chains. I might find a way to get rid of them.

After all, my secret appraisal technique is rather awesome in certain aspects. Although I'm currently wearing the gloves of passion of Swordsman Wooden Ox, these puny gloves shouldn't be able to block the appraisal technique.

In that case, I'll give it a try. In the worst case, I'll just lose some blood, and I'm already used to it.

"Go, appraise the chains!" Song Shuhang shouted.

However, the secret appraisal technique didn't activate. Although there was a small possibility that the secret appraisal technique would trigger even though he was wearing the gloves, the possibility was very low.

Dammit.

I got agitated, and the urge to pee became even stronger!

Perhaps I should just pee...? After all, it's not like there is anyone around.

No, no, no, that's wrong!

I have a will of steel. How can I give up so easily?

In the nonsensical ❮Diary of the Ascetic Senior Monk❯, the senior monk relied on his willpower to overcome a deadly poison.

In that case, look at how I overcome this stupid urge to urinate!

Now is the time to test how strong my willpower is!

❄️❄️❄️

Then, just as Song Shuhang was using his willpower to overcome the difficult situation he was facing, he felt a cool, comfortable feeling transmit from his spine.

It was the same pleasant feeling one would feel as they straightened their back after bending over and working for a long time.

At the same time, the rune of the contract of the ghost spirit inside his body shone.

Had something happened to the ghost spirit?

After that powerful expert forcefully borrowed the ghost spirit and used their energy to block the connection between Shuhang and the ghost spirit, Song Shuhang had no way of knowing what the ghost spirit was experiencing.

However, he could still guess what had happened to the ghost spirit through the contract. From the looks of it, the ghost spirit was evolving!

His ghost spirit originally had the opportunity to evolve into a high-rank one. However, the possibility was very low. Perhaps Shuhang wouldn't be able to make the ghost spirit reach that rank during the span of his entire life.

But now, his ghost spirit had actually evolved and became a high-rank one!

No, to be precise, it was on the verge of completing its evolution! The evolution process had already reached the final phase. For this reason, the rune of the contract in his body had a change.

Along with the evolution of the ghost spirit, the true qi inside Song Shuhang's Sea of Qi Dantian, Dragon Tail Dantian, and Dragon Claw Dantian started to churn and overflow.

During this period of time, Song Shuhang had eaten several spirit beast crystal, and the true qi inside his body had become saturated.

Now, without needing Song Shuhang to do anything in particular, the true qi inside his body started to break through the fourth dantian, the Dragon Body Dantian!

A nice feeling spread in his whole body.

"Aaaaah! It's bad! If I feel so comfortable, I'll be unable to resist!" Song Shuhang's eyes had started to tear up.

The worst thing was that Song Shuhang's body couldn't help but tremble as the true qi inside his body was ramming against the checkpoint of the Dragon Body Dantian.

As a consequence of his body trembling, the chains that were binding him got even tighter.

If this kept going, the current split would turn into a U-shaped reverse split!
