Chapter 190: Chapter 190: The Ten-Year Pact
In past and present lives, Wang Chen had never been a father.
However, when the round-faced little girl Ya leapt into his arms, holding this fluffy and warm little one, listening to her cute cries, Wang Chen’s heart melted instantly.
He truly felt the emotions of fatherhood!
That sliver of his own bloodline within Yuanyuan was so clear!
Wang Chen couldn’t help but kiss the little girl’s forehead.
Pop!
Yuanyuan instantly changed back into a little hamster!
Wang Chen: “…”
Bai Susu smiled with pursed lips, “Her magical power is too weak; she can only maintain her human form for a short while.”
Yuanyuan: “Ying ying ying~”
It liked being the little girl who could talk!
Wang Chen couldn’t help but ask, “Senior, can she cultivate?”

“Of course.”
Bai Susu answered patiently, “Our Monster Race has its own methods of cultivation, which I can teach her.”
Wang Chen was elated, “Thank you, Senior!”
“Don’t be in such a hurry.”
Bai Susu raised a spring onion-like jade finger and shook it, “The Law Must Not Be Transmitted Lightly. I have my conditions.”
Wang Chen earnestly said, “Please enlighten me, Senior!”
“First of all…”
Bai Susu reached out to pick up Yuanyuan, gently stroking the little one in the palm of her hand, “She must stay by my side.”
Wang Chen was immediately taken aback.
Yuanyuan was also anxious: “Yi yi yi!”
It tried to break free from Bai Susu’s grasp, but the two’s strength was on completely different levels.
Wang Chen clenched his teeth, “Senior!”
“Listen to me first.”
Bai Susu waved her hand, “It’s best for her to be with me because I will teach her the Dharma Technique, help her through the Blood-Burning Tribulation, and teach her to protect herself.”
“Can you do that?”
Wang Chen was silent.
He might love Yuanyuan very much, but he had to admit that he really didn’t know about these things.
The Mysterious Turtle had a reason for sending Yuanyuan to this Great Monster!
It was clearly more suitable for Yuanyuan to be with Bai Susu than with him.
“Even without the Blood-Burning Tribulation.”
Bai Susu continued, “When her bloodline fully manifests, it will inevitably attract the covetousness of demons and evil wraiths. Can you guarantee her complete protection?”
Wang Chen was rendered speechless.
He had known long ago that Yuanyuan had a special bloodline, different from ordinary Spirit Mice.
But he didn’t expect that this would cause him to lose the little one!
“Ten years.”
Bai Susu rubbed Yuanyuan’s head, “After ten years, I will then fulfill your master-servant relationship!”
Yuanyuan weakly uttered: “Ying ying~”
Despite a multitude of reluctant feelings inside.
But Wang Chen was not one to hesitate; he nodded firmly, “Then I’ll trouble you, Senior!”
“The second condition.”
Bai Susu hadn’t finished speaking, as she raised two fingers, “I want something from you.”
“Taking care of this little one isn’t free.”
Wang Chen resolutely said, “No problem!”
His worldly possessions were mostly on him, and the most valuable among them was undoubtedly the Ancient Taoist Stele.
But it had merged with Wang Chen’s Divine Soul and bloodline—probably even this Great Monster wouldn’t notice it.
The next would be the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net.
If Bai Susu fancied this treasure.
Then Wang Chen would have to part with it!
Wang Chen’s straightforwardness surprised Bai Susu.
She glanced at Wang Chen and then said, “That’s it.”
Seeing the target the Great Monster pointed at, Wang Chen was momentarily stunned.
What Bai Susu wanted was the Ruyi Golden Needle worn on the ring finger of his right hand!
This piece of equipment had once helped Wang Chen defeat powerful enemies.
But as his strength increased, especially after he had learned the Sword Control Technique and obtained the Fire Crow Sword, its usefulness had significantly decreased, serving only as a last-resort counterattack.
In his recent battles, Wang Chen had not used the Ruyi Golden Needle at all.
After all, its lethality was incomparable with that of a flying sword.
However, Wang Chen was very clear that the tier of the Ruyi Golden Needle was only higher, not lower than the Fire Crow Sword.
Because it could be displayed in the equipment slot of the Immortal Cultivation panel, while the Fire Crow Sword was not eligible.
It seems that the Ruyi Golden Needle must have some secrets that he had yet to uncover.
Wang Chen had never expected Bai Susu to take an interest in it!
His thoughts raced, and Wang Chen immediately took off the ring that the Ruyi Golden Needle had turned into and handed it over to the Great Monster.
If he could part with the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net, why would he cling to the somewhat superfluous Ruyi Golden Needle!
Bai Susu took the ring and put it on the ring finger of her left hand.
She revealed a smile that could bewitch all beings, “Little guy, I won’t take your things for nothing, ten years later, I’ll give you a surprise, and also…”
With a wave of the Great Monster’s delicate hand, a dark golden scale suddenly appeared in Wang Chen’s hand!
Her mood seemed very pleased, “A small gift.”
Intuition told Wang Chen that this scale was extraordinary, and surely a Great Monster’s gesture wouldn’t be stingy.
He solemnly accepted the scale, “Thank you, senior.”
“You can go back now.”
Bai Susu yawned, “Say goodbye to the little one.”
The die was cast, and Wang Chen had no room for regret.
He took out a spare Storage Bag and filled it with a large amount of Spirit Fruit, Spirit Rice, and dried meat.
All were Ya’s favorites.
Then he handed it over to Bai Susu for safekeeping.
This farewell would last for ten years!
Truth be told, Wang Chen didn’t even know if he would be able to see Ya again in ten years.
But for the little one’s future and fate, no matter how much reluctance and sadness, Wang Chen still firmed up his resolve.
“Yiyingying!”
Knowing that she would be separated from Wang Chen for a very, very long time, Ya rubbed her nose vigorously against his face, gently calling out with tear-filled eyes.
Wang Chen felt somber in his heart.
Human sorrow, love’s separation, enduring grievances, seeking but not obtaining, unable to let go.
Even though he hadn’t lived with Ya for a very long time, they had already built a deep bond.
How could he easily let go?
But in the end, Wang Chen steeled his heart and handed over the little one, along with the Spirit Beast Pouch, to Bai Susu.
He turned around and left the Demon-Suppression Cavern.
When he returned to the Dark River Channel, he heard the Great Monster’s voice, “Soon, the Cloud Sun faction will undergo a drastic change, you should prepare early, and don’t come here again!”
Wang Chen’s heart trembled.
Then he nodded and quickened his pace, swiftly disappearing down the long passage.
After Wang Chen left, Bai Susu stroked the still sad Ya, who immediately let out a small yawn and closed her eyes to sleep deeply.
“Hehe.”
She chuckled lightly, “Bai Suzhen has Qing for company, so from now on, I’ll call you Little Jin.”
The Great Monster put the unaware little one into the Spirit Beast Pouch and then hung it on her belt.
She then took off the ring from her ring finger.
Suddenly, she burst out laughing.
“Hahahaha~”
The clear and delightful laughter echoed through the vast Demon-Suppression Cavern, “Old Mysterious Origin, you have all sorts of schemes, but you never imagined someone would bring the Ruyi Golden Needle right to me, did you?”
“Hahahaha!”
Bai Susu laughed until tears came out.
She wiped away the tears with a flick of her sleeve.
She tossed the ring upwards, her red lips slightly parting, “Ruyi Ruyi, follow my heart’s wish!”
The ring hovered in the air, silently transforming into a small golden key!
Meanwhile, behind Bai Susu, the Golden Cudgel that was inserting her tail into an altar suddenly shook violently.
Issuing a low humming sound.
