"My name is Gu Xi. I hope to form a contract with you and borrow your strength for battle."
Gu Xi extended his right hand amid the blue glow emitted by the Contract Scroll.
But this time, something felt rather strange to Gu Xi.
The corpse had not reacted at all for quite some time.
This surprised Gu Xi. Normally, Contract Undead did not behave like this.
Could it be that the item Gu Xi had selected this time was unsuitable?
Gu Xi thought back to the items he had picked out.
Most of them had come from the library.
There should not have been any problem with their quality.
Then perhaps there was something wrong with the corpse?
Just as Gu Xi wondered where the problem lay, the corpse's hand twitched slightly. It touched Gu Xi's fingertips, then withdrew.
Only then did a tiny, delicate voice reach Gu Xi's ears.
"Lingxi is willing to fight for Young Master."
Hearing that voice, Gu Xi could not help but raise his head.
He noticed that the corpse called Lingxi had actually vanished from before him.
Only a fragrant mist remained where the corpse had originally been placed.
What was going on?
Fortunately, the information that popped up gave Gu Xi some understanding of the situation.
Gu Xi had never expected that he had merely wanted to find a chef and another Contract Undead to guard the door, only to stumble upon a treasure here.
