Persuasion, Rainbow Butterfly Relocates

The Seven-Colored Rainbow Butterfly sipped the honey Ye Guchen offered, glancing at him from time to time as if weighing his proposal.

Due to the nature of the Martial Soul Contract Grimoire, Ye Guchen was naturally perceived as a kindred spirit by soul beasts.

For some reason, it felt an incredibly intimate aura radiating from the human before it.

The Seven-Colored Rainbow Butterfly seemed to understand something; it slowly folded its wings and landed steadily on Ye Guchen's fingertip, showing no intention of flying away.

"Is that a yes?"

Ye Guchen was overjoyed. He had expected to spend some time talking it over, never imagining he would persuade it so easily.

Ye Guchen hurriedly summoned his Martial Soul Contract Grimoire.

As the ancient grimoire flipped to the fifth page, the Seven-Colored Rainbow Butterfly felt a certain summons and landed directly upon the book.

Suddenly, the Seven-Colored Rainbow Butterfly felt a warm aura enveloping it. Being naturally timid, it began to struggle instinctively when faced with the sudden change.

The Seven-Colored Rainbow Butterfly struggled for a moment, but sensing no malice in this aura, it soon calmed down, allowing the power of the contract to link its soul power with Ye Guchen's.

As the light faded, a totem of the Seven-Colored Rainbow Butterfly appeared on the fifth page of the Contract Grimoire, serving as proof that the contract was complete.

At the same time, a strange soul power surged into his body. It was the power of the Seven-Colored Rainbow Butterfly—though not strong, it was exceptionally pure, carrying a unique attribute of healing and amplification.

"So faint, yet so comfortable..."

Ye Guchen couldn't help but sigh.

The power coursed through his limbs and bones, giving him a sense of comfort as if he were soaking in a hot spring; the fatigue from days of travel was swept away for the most part.

Meanwhile, Ye Guchen's soul power synchronized with the Dou I body, reaching level fifty-three. This century-old Seven-Colored Rainbow Butterfly did not provide much of a soul power feedback to Ye Guchen.

The Seven-Colored Rainbow Butterfly on his fingertip seemed to have finished adapting to the contract. It flapped its wings joyfully, circled Ye Guchen a few times, and then landed on his shoulder, the seven-colored light on its wings brighter than before.

Ye Guchen reached out and gently stroked its wings; they felt soft yet resilient.

"I'll call you... Seven-Rainbow from now on." Ye Guchen gave it a simple name.

The Seven-Colored Butterfly flapped its wings, seemingly in response.

At the same time, a drastic change occurred within the Contract Grimoire. A new space appeared out of thin air on the fifth page—a habitat belonging to the Seven-Colored Rainbow Butterfly.

A ring-shaped valley embraced the entire world like an emerald belt. The valley floor was carpeted with flowers of every color, not piled in disarray, but spread out like an overturned palette, blending in perfect harmony.

Strange trees and exotic woods, some straight and tall, others gnarled and twisted, stood in various postures as if whispering to one another.

A waterfall leaped gracefully from the cliff top, shattering into millions of transparent water droplets before merging into layers of pools.

The pool water was unexpectedly colorful—some as green as jade, some as blue as glaze, others a pale amber translucent with sunlight, so clear that the patterns on the pebbles at the bottom were visible.

By the pools, under the waterfall, and among the woods, several ancient pavilions stood quietly, as if listening to the sounds of water and wind.

Stone paths wound through the area, every step landing on damp moss and fallen petals.

As a breeze brushed by, the shadows of flowers and trees shattered into shimmering light on the colorful water.

This realm was even more beautiful than the Butterfly Valley outside; it was not a complex bustle, but a natural, serene, and magnificent splendor that made it hard to look away.

Ye Guchen brought the Seven-Colored Rainbow Butterfly into this space.

As soon as it entered, the Seven-Colored Rainbow Butterfly began to dance gracefully within the space.

"Master, this space is so beautiful! Even more beautiful than my original home!"

"I'm glad you like it!"

The age of the Seven-Colored Rainbow Butterfly was also slowly increasing; in just this short while, it had gained nearly a hundred years of cultivation.

"My cultivation?!"

The shocked voice of the Seven-Colored Rainbow Butterfly came through the contract mark.

It couldn't believe it. It landed on Ye Guchen's shoulder and tilted its head to look at its master, seemingly waiting for an explanation.

Ye Guchen reached out and nudged the Seven-Colored Rainbow Butterfly with his fingertip, explaining it to her.

"I said I would help you break the limits of your racial strength. After signing the contract with me, your cultivation will slowly synchronize with mine, so ten thousand years is far from your limit!"

Hearing this, the Seven-Colored Rainbow Butterfly danced joyfully once more, but soon landed back on Ye Guchen's shoulder.

A voice filled with cautious probing came through, "Um... Master, could you also help my kin? Our race has very weak attack power; if not for the protection of that fifty-thousand-year Plate Armor Rhino, we would have been wiped out long ago!"

Ye Guchen looked around the space, let her land on his fingertip, and said:

"If they are willing, they can all move here to live! Although I cannot help them break their age limits for now, I can certainly ensure their safety."

"Really? That's wonderful! Our race will never have to worry about being exterminated by other races again!"

"Seven-Rainbow, go discuss the relocation with your kin. I will wait for you outside."

After leaving the Grimoire space, Seven-Rainbow communicated with the other Seven-Colored Rainbow Butterflies in the cave. Hearing the news, a dozen butterflies looked at Ye Guchen in unison. Seeing him nod, they flew out of the waterfall to mobilize the tribe to move.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao's voice came from outside the water curtain.

"Guchen! Six-Colored! What are you doing in there? A Six-Colored Rainbow Butterfly flew out and you didn't even notice?"

Ye Guchen smiled, brought the Seven-Colored Rainbow Butterfly through the water curtain, and reappeared before everyone.

When everyone saw the Seven-Colored Rainbow Butterfly with its flowing, seven-colored halo resting on his shoulder, they were all stunned for a moment.

Even Ma Xiaotao, who had been cautiously trying to capture that Six-Colored Rainbow Butterfly, stopped her movements.

Gongyang Mo was the first to react, practically jumping up.

"Se-seven colors?! It really is seven colors?! My god, you actually found it?!"

Yao Haoxuan was also shocked, "There really is a seven-colored one in this Butterfly Valley? Your family's records weren't lying after all?"

"What do you mean 'weren't lying'!" Gongyang Mo glared at him in dissatisfaction, but quickly turned his gaze back to the Seven-Colored Butterfly, his eyes filled with wonder, "The Seven-Colored Rainbow Butterfly, this is a legendary existence. My family's records say it has only appeared once in over a thousand years, and you just found it like this..."

Dai Yueheng was also slightly moved. He had previously thought the potential of the Rainbow Butterfly was too low and had advised Ye Guchen to find another soul beast, never expecting that Ye Guchen would truly find a seven-colored one.

"The support capabilities of this butterfly..." Dai Yueheng's gaze narrowed, "I'm afraid it really doesn't lose to the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda."

Ma Xiaotao leaned in closer, staring curiously at the Seven-Colored Butterfly, "It's actually quite pretty; it suits you well."

The Seven-Colored Butterfly seemed a bit shy, hiding behind Ye Guchen's neck and only poking half its head out, its seven-colored wings trembling slightly.

Xi Xi also gathered around, showing a rare girlish side, "So beautiful! Guchen, your luck is just too good!"

Ye Guchen smiled, "It's all thanks to Gongyang Mo's intelligence; otherwise, we wouldn't have come here."

Hearing this, Gongyang Mo immediately puffed out his chest, "That goes without saying, you have to rely on me at critical moments!"

"Alright, alright, we know you're amazing." Yao Haoxuan patted his shoulder, "But then again, if your intelligence had been wrong, Guchen would probably have come looking for you to settle the score."

"How could it be wrong! The way I, Gongyang Mo, do things is what you call reliable!" Gongyang Mo looked smug.

After the group joked around for a while, Ye Guchen opened his Contract Grimoire. Under the shocked gazes of everyone present, all the Rainbow Butterflies in Butterfly Valley surged into the grimoire, leaving only ordinary butterflies behind in the valley.
