Allen bowed respectfully to Bratz. "I, Allen, was born in the Fein Deluo Principality! The Fein Deluo Principality is my homeland. If I had a choice, I would not wish to betray my homeland. Therefore, I desperately pleaded with the great Steel Lord Yang Ye, and in the end, I moved him. As long as the Fein Deluo Principality and West Wind Sea City of the Senarus Principality are handed over to him, he will agree to join Antalya Warlock Academy and send his only blood relative to Antalya Warlock Academy to cultivate the path of a Warlock. At the same time, he will become the steel Great Wall guarding our Antalya Warlock Academy. As long as he is there, Wild Claw's experts will absolutely be unable to pass through his territory and attack the Southern City-State Alliance."

"This condition is not bad! Since Yang Ye was able to defeat the Fein Deluo Family, if he sincerely joins our Antalya Warlock Academy, we will gain a powerful aid!"

"No! The Fein Deluo Family is a subsidiary family of Antalya Warlock Academy. If their family is destroyed, what will the other families think? This will shake Antalya Warlock Academy's rule."

"The Fein Deluo Family must be preserved! Otherwise, the foundations of Antalya Warlock Academy's rule will be shaken!"

"..."

The Level-2 Warlocks in the council hall engaged in fierce debate. Some Level-2 Warlocks advocated bringing Yang Ye into Antalya Warlock Academy's sphere of influence, while others insisted on firmly protecting the Fein Deluo Family.

After pondering for a while, Bratz slowly said, "The Fein Deluo Family has been wholeheartedly loyal to Antalya Warlock Academy these years and has not made any major blunders in handling affairs. We cannot abandon them. West Wind Sea City is the wealthiest seaport city of the Senarus Principality, so that cannot be given to you either. Change your conditions!"

Three Level-2 Warlocks had attacked Black City, only to return with two dead and one seriously wounded, without even catching a glimpse of the Lord of Steel. Yang Feng's Mechanical Legion had made Antalya Warlock Academy attach great importance to its power. Even a man of iron and blood like Bratz had no choice but to weigh the matter again and again after Yang Feng revealed even the slightest intention of joining them.

Allen took another step back. "In that case, let the current forces serve as the boundary. The Fein Deluo Principality must further cede Golden Sand City, Wood Iron City, and Obsidian City, and compensate us with three hundred thousand Magic Stones and ten bottles of Azure Enchantress Potion, which can alter a cultivator's Soul Aptitude. Then I can persuade the great Steel Lord Yang Ye to accept your conditions, join Antalya Warlock Academy, and send his only blood relative to Antalya Warlock Academy to cultivate the path of a Warlock."

"He really dares to ask. Ten bottles of Azure Enchantress Potion are enough to raise a Wizard Apprentice with Level-3 superior Soul Aptitude to Level-4 intermediate Soul Aptitude."

"However, although Azure Enchantress Potion is precious, it is still very worthwhile if we can bring the Lord of Steel into Antalya Warlock Academy!"

"..."

The Level-2 Warlocks in the council hall discussed the matter heatedly. In the end, most of them agreed to Allen's conditions.

"We accept your conditions!" Bratz shifted his gaze to a white-haired old man among the Level-2 Warlocks. "Yudora, tomorrow you will take the contract to Black City and sign it with the Lord of Steel."

Yudora respectfully bowed to Bratz. "Yes, my lord!"

The first underground level of Black City's Wizard Tower.

Crack!

A series of cracks suddenly appeared across the eggshell of the unknown lifeform atop the altar.

Yang Feng's spirits lifted slightly. For most of these past days, he had remained beside the altar, waiting for the creature in the egg to hatch as though incubating a chick. Now that the lifeform within the egg was finally about to be born, his heart brimmed with anticipation.

Yang Feng pressed his palms together and muttered toward the enormous egg, "My demands aren't high! Since it came out of the Forbidden Stone, it should basically be something lofty and impressive. A dragon, a phoenix, a Cerberus cub—some divine beast of that sort would satisfy me. Give me a divine beast with a flashy pedigree!"

During the Second Warlock Dynasty, those powerful Warlocks had conquered countless planes and captured many formidable existences for all kinds of forbidden experiments. Weak lifeforms and secret treasures simply did not qualify to be sealed within the Forbidden Stone. That was precisely why Yang Feng had such high expectations for the enormous egg.

Crack!

Amid Yang Feng's anticipation, the enormous egg suddenly shattered. Curled up inside was an adorable little girl of around six years old, completely naked, with waist-length hair and skin as white as snow jade, crystalline and translucent like an angel.

"How could this happen? Don't mess with me like this! Where's the powerful Contract Beast we agreed on?" Yang Feng stared wide-eyed at the six-year-old girl crawling out of the enormous egg, on the verge of tears.

Yang Feng had originally intended to obtain a powerful Contract Beast, so that on the path of a Warlock, he would have a massive meat shield and a powerful fighter at his side. Yet now, a six-year-old little girl had emerged instead, leaving him on the verge of tears.

The little girl opened her eyes, and her bright, clear gaze fixed tightly upon Yang Feng.

Looking into the little girl's pure, clear, beautiful eyes, like black gemstones, Yang Feng's vexation completely vanished, replaced by a tender affection. "Forget it! Getting an Eastern little girl isn't bad either."

On the Durando Subcontinent, Western races held the dominant position. It was said that the distant Main Continent also had many humans of Eastern descent. However, on the Durando Subcontinent, Easterners were still very rare. Those with an appearance as adorable as this little girl's were rarer still.

The little girl gave Yang Feng a sweet, endearing smile and extended her pair of snow-white little hands.

With a tender expression, Yang Feng picked up the endearing little girl.

The moment the little girl was held in Yang Feng's arms, she began to giggle. Then she raised her snow-white little hands, and a mysterious power surged forth.

The enormous eggshell fragments scattered across the altar flew one after another into the little girl's hands. Hugging those fragments, she began to gnaw on them with loud crunching bites.

With every fragment she devoured, the little girl grew a little larger.

Seven years old, eight years old, nine years old—the little girl rapidly grew, quickly becoming a beautiful thirteen-year-old girl with lovely black hair, full breasts, and a sexy, alluring figure.

Watching the little girl continuously change, Yang Feng once again confirmed that she was not human, but another kind of lifeform.

"Big brother, thank you for hatching me. I like you the most!" The beautiful girl, like an elf who had stepped out of a fairy tale, suddenly threw herself into Yang Feng's embrace and spoke sweetly.

Yang Feng stroked the beautiful black hair of the elf-like girl and smiled. "You hatched from stone, and your skin is like snow. From today onward, I'll call you Shi Xue!"

Shi Xue smiled sweetly at Yang Feng. "Mm! Okay!"

Yang Feng clapped his hands twice. Not long afterward, a robot entered carrying a set of black Gothic Lolita clothing.

After Shi Xue changed into the black Gothic Lolita outfit, she immediately radiated an astonishing, seductive charm. Even Yang Feng's heart stirred as he looked at her, his vision almost dazzled.
