Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1334 - 394: Soul Contract

At noon, under the sunlight on the Moli Sea, the sea surface looked like a blue sapphire, with a large number of white military ship birds circling around the masts, letting out loud cries.

The mayor’s ship, after being repaired, sailed at great speed, cleaving through the waves, which shattered like jade pieces, falling all around.

"Young City Lord, we’re about to reach the open sea. You promised us that as long as we approached that area, you would let us go."

On the deck at the bow, the mayor wore a mournful expression, cautiously inquiring Luo Qianche.

At midnight last night, Luo Qianche suddenly captured him along with over a dozen townsfolk, forcing them out to sea, saying that if they didn’t, their families would be thrown into the ancestral hall and turned into Ghost Children.

With no choice, the mayor agreed to Luo Qianche’s demands to set sail.

"Hmph, so much chatter. I said, I will catch the Water Ghost. If each of you are eager to leave, do you not believe in the abilities of this Young City Lord?"

Luo Qianche glared fiercely, scolding harshly.

The ship was already close to where they had previously encountered the underwater monstrous plant, causing her heart to pound with both tension and excitement.

"We wouldn’t dare, but Young City Lord, if you truly intend to capture a Water Ghost, you might at least consult with City Lord Ye."

The mayor didn’t believe Luo Qianche and Jiang Ce could catch the Water Ghost.

After all, the two of them had previously set out to sea with the Merfolk King, but returned empty-handed.

"Shut up! Are you implying that I’m inferior to Ye Lingyue? What City Lord? She’s not even a real City Lord, just a useless fraud who knows how to hoodwink others."

Luo Qianche was furious, casting a sidelong glance at the mayor before looking at the still sea.

The ship had entered the open sea. She remembered last time, this was where the monstrous plant appeared, yet today the sea remained calm.

"Since you all want to leave, then get lost. Take the townsfolk and leave on the small boats."

Luo Qianche waved her hand dismissively.

The mayor was overjoyed to hear they could leave, feeling terrified of staying with the capricious Young City Lord.

A few small boats were quickly lowered, and the mayor and his companions fled as if for their lives.

Luo Qianche stood on the deck, watching the dispersing small boats, revealing a cruel smile.

Not long after the mayor’s small boat hit the water, the originally blue sea surface began to change subtly.

In the water, it was as if ink had been dropped; the blue turned to dark blue.

The waves on the sea also grew larger.

Underwater, black tendril-like shadows spread rapidly, like octopus tentacles, swiftly pursuing several small boats.

Whoosh—

With a sound, a seaweed vine shot through one of the small boats like an arrow.

The barb-covered vine pierced through the mayor’s chest.

Blood flowed along the vine, causing it to thickened slightly.

The underwater monstrous plant, having tasted human blood, became even more savage, and the seawater turned from dark blue to completely black.

Beneath the sea, a gigantic living creature appeared, akin to an enormous octopus monster.

The shadow enveloped the nearby sea area completely, making the ship Luo Qianche stood on appear insignificantly small under its shadow.

"Water Ghost, I’ve finally drawn you out!"

Luo Qianche saw the shadow and instead of fear, her expression became one of wild delight.

She had actually used the lives of townsfolk to lure out the underwater creature.

"Jiang Ce, go!"

Luo Qianche and Jiang Ce sprang into action.

The transformed Jiang Ce, having absorbed Evil, was more powerful than before.

He harnessed the Power of Reincarnation within him, sending out sharp gusts that swiftly severed a few vines.

When the vines were severed, they sprayed out thick dark green pus, reeking horribly.

The underwater creature trembled violently a few times.

It let out a roar of fury, flinging the townsfolk’s bodies away with its vines.

The lifeless townsfolk, mid-air, underwent a sorrowful transformation.

They turned into blue-faced, fanged monsters, leaping in mid-air with stiff limbs akin to steel knives, slashing towards Luo Qianche.

Luo Qianche sneered coldly, and a scepter formed in her hand while an array already took shape under her feet.

A water python, as thick as a barrel, soared from the array.

The water python swung its tail, covered with fine scales, smashing the townsfolk apart with force.

Luo Qianche stood proudly on the head of the water python, her pretty face bristling with killing intent.

"Ignorant beast, I spared you once before, but you dare act malevolently again. Today, I’ll bind you as my servant, unable to escape my control for all eternity."

It turned out Luo Qianche, having witnessed the Water Ghost’s power, had grown greedy. She intended to forcibly contract the underwater Water Ghost today.

Luo Qianche’s clever plot seemed quite astute.

Having been reprimanded by the Merfolk King last night, she harbored deep resentment.

In her heart, she thought, "Merfolk King, you think you’re so great? Don’t think that without you, I, Luo Qianche, can’t achieve anything."

"You believe I’m inferior to Ye Lingyue? I’ll prove to everyone I’m stronger than Ye Lingyue."

This Water Ghost, with power surpassing even the Merfolk King, if she could gain its assistance, it wouldn’t be just Shui City; even the nine continents of Ancient Nine Provinces wouldn’t be free of her influence.

But for Luo Qianche, with her cultivation only at the Small Divine Power Realm, to forcibly contract a Water Ghost more powerful than the Merfolk King was evidently quite difficult.

Yet, driven by greed, Luo Qianche didn’t care about such concerns.

Her eyes gleamed with avarice, and she chanted the Water God’s spell.

On the ink-like sea surface, a summoning contract array appeared, seeking to trap the Water Ghost within.

However, unlike when she forcefully enslaved Jiang Ce previously, this time Luo Qianche did not find success so easily.

With a thunderous roar from the underwater Water Ghost, the summoning contract array on the sea surface was shattered.

"How is this possible?"

With her summoning contract array broken, the Power of Reincarnation within her churned turbulently, almost losing control of the water python.

She spat out a breath of muddied energy to calm herself.

This creature was far more formidable than she anticipated, yet this only fueled Luo Qianche’s determination to possess it.

"It seems I have no choice but to use the final move."

Luo Qianche suddenly bit down on her tongue, spitting out a spot of blood with a "chi" sound.

"Soul Contract, in the name of the Water God, become my eternal soul servant!"

In order to acquire the Water Ghost, Luo Qianche did not hesitate to use her Divine Power Skill, the Soul Contract Technique, which she had comprehended after breaking through to the Small Divine Power Realm!
