Chapter 22
Rejecting the Contract
This space elf was very cute, but not to the extent that it made her lose her ability to think.
From the moment she came to this place, this little elf had been calling her master. Something was clearly wrong. It was not easy to be called master by foreign creatures in a modern technological society.
“I think I’m just an ordinary person in this vast sea of billions of people. What qualifications and conditions do I have to make you, the unique space fairy of the Aqua Blue Planet, acknowledge me as your master?” Gu Qingming asked sharply.
The space fairy also knew that such questions could not be avoided.
It explained very seriously and truthfully, “Although I have been here for three thousand years, I was burned when I passed through the protective layer of the Aqua Blue Planet. I was seriously injured. The environment here was not suitable for me to heal my injuries at all. I was forced to heal myself in this place and fell into a deep sleep. I only woke up three hundred years ago.”
When Gu Qingming heard this, she sized up the elf and frowned. She asked in confusion, “You were sleeping. Had no one discovered you for the past three thousand years?”
The space fairy shook its head and said, “On this planet, without the spiritual energy of our fairy world and the vitality of the cultivation world, no one can see me. After I fell asleep, I was just a very ordinary stone.”
Gu Qingming asked in confusion, “If you were an ordinary stone, how can I see you now? Also, why do you acknowledge me as your master? I think I’m the most ordinary person here.”
The space fairy said helplessly, “Yes, you’re an ordinary person. However, by chance, you became my master.”
“What do you mean?”
“When you were in a car accident in your previous life, I was a rock laying quietly in a corner of the flower bed. But in order to save that little girl, you were hit by a car and flew right onto me. Your blood stained the entire rock. I was awakened by you, and a contract between us was formed. A master-servant contract. You were the Lord, and I was the servant.”
It was a proud space elf and was also extremely unwilling to be the contracted elf of an ordinary person but it had no choice. It could only be said that this was the will of the heavens.
Besides, after being contracted by this woman, its injuries and spiritual power recovered very quickly.
But to its dismay, even if its spiritual power recovered, it could not return to the Elven world.
If it wanted to terminate the contract, the main party had to be willing. Moreover, it needed its master to plant spiritual herbs, trees, and fruits in its space. The more these things there were, the harder its shell would be, and the easier it would be to terminate the contract.
When it had the hardest shell of the three thousand great worlds in the entire universe, it would be able to return to its own world.
“Oh, a blood contract?” Gu Qingming raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, “Is it really that magical?”
In Xianxia dramas now, there were various scenes of blood contracts.
Unexpectedly, in reality, she encountered such fantasy.
The space elf nodded. “Yes.”
“Oh, can we break the contract?” Gu Qingming asked.
The space fairy was slightly stunned. It looked at Gu Qingming in confusion and asked, “You… you want to terminate the contract?”
Gu Qingming shrugged and said lightly, “It’s obvious. Having you is equivalent to getting into trouble. It’s very dangerous, understand?
If anyone found out that I had an alien elf and a wide, endless space, they’d definitely take me to a mental health institute. They’d even slice me up to be examined. You might not be able to be sliced because you’re hard, but I’m just an ordinary person with flesh and blood. I don’t want to be a lab rat like that.”
“Sliced?” The space elf said in horror. “How could I be sliced? I know that your planet has no cultivation or high-tech civilization. It’s impossible for anyone to discover me.”
Gu Qingming raised her eyebrows and said with slight amusement, “Perhaps in the past, when you were a stone, you couldn’t be discovered. But after you contracted me, if I suddenly disappeared and suddenly appeared, I would definitely be discovered? Besides, cute elf, I’m afraid you will incur the selfish ambitions and greed of humans.”
She paused, then asked very seriously, “So, how do I break the contract between us? I have a wonderful life. I have a family, money, and power, and I’m the heir to my family’s corporation. I’m contented with my current life. I don’t want to put myself in danger because of you.”
The space elf had never thought that the owner of its unexpected contract would be unwilling to honor the contract. During its travels on this planet, it personally witnessed how greedy and selfish the people on this planet were. For a small amount of property, they schemed against each other, betrayed each other, and fought to the death.
But why was this person different?
The spatial fairy said, “Master, do you see this pool of water? This is spiritual spring water. After drinking this spiritual spring water, you will be immune to all diseases and your body will be healthy and long-lived.”
When Gu Qingming heard this, she said even more seriously, “Then I have to terminate the contract.”
“Why?” the space elf asked uneasily. “Don’t you want to be healthy and live a long life with your family? Besides, you can use this spiritual spring water to treat illnesses and make a lot of money.”
“Little Elf, you’re really too naive!” Gu Qingming touched his little head. “Do you know how tempting it is to be immune to all diseases and live long and healthy? Tempting things often inspired selfishness and greed. Since ancient times, all families with tempting secrets have been killed by others. The entire clan was silenced just to obtain those secrets.”
The space elf was on the verge of tears.
For a moment, it didn’t know what to do.
