Yang Haoran considered for a moment before finally speaking his reply.
“I suggest we don't try to extract her soul from the Demon Armament for now. After all, the success rate is too low, and the risk of taking action is too great. The consequence of failure is something you can't bear. The best approach is to wait until my strength increases, and I have absolute certainty before proceeding. ”
Ye Zhiqiu’s face was grim, his brows furrowed tightly.
“By the time your strength is sufficient, who knows what year or month it will be? In the meantime, are we to let her continue existing in her current state, growing on the Demon Armament? ”
Ye Zhiqiu still remembered what Yang Haoran had just said: the female demon’s soul had been forcibly condensed into a spirit. As long as it wasn’t within the world of the sword, her soul wouldn't slowly dissipate.
However, if the female demon’s soul wasn’t brought into the sword, it meant she would have to continue existing on the sword in her current state.
This was not only inconvenient but also particularly conspicuous. More importantly, he worried that using this Demon Armament might harm the female demon’s soul.
But doing so would mean he couldn't use his Lifebound Demon Armament during this period. A Demon Hunter who couldn't even use his Lifebound Demon Armament would not only be mocked by his peers but also be unable to fully exert his own strength.
Ye Zhiqiu didn't care about others’ ridicule, but he had to be concerned about his own strength. If he couldn't unleash his peak power, he wouldn't be able to slay enough powerful demons within the stipulated time, nor obtain Demon Cores to pay Yang Haoran for his assistance.
Compared to the female demon, he felt it wouldn’t matter even if he lost all his strength. However, he had to consider Yang Haoran’s perspective.
If Yang Haoran had a better solution, that would naturally be ideal. If not, he could only apologize to Yang Haoran, as he would have to break his promise, knowing it would be absolutely impossible for him to find enough Demon Cores within the stipulated time to pay Yang Haoran.
Shortly after he finished speaking, Yang Haoran responded.
“I can employ some methods to reinforce her soul. By then, even if her soul is returned to the sword, it absolutely won’t be absorbed by your Demon Armament. She will still be a part of your Demon Armament, but you can completely regard her as a temporary tenant residing within it. Once the time is ripe, I will allow her to completely break free from the constraints your Demon Armament has placed upon her. ”
Yang Haoran’s words instantly filled Ye Zhiqiu’s heart with joy.
“Can you truly do that? ”
Ye Zhiqiu’s tone shifted, and his grim face once again became agitated.
However, his agitation earlier had been born of worry, whereas now, the agitation on his face was pure delight.
“If I couldn’t do it, why would I tell you all this? Do you think I’m trying to fool you? You don’t know me very well. I’m a person who never lies, hehe. ” The solemnity on Yang Haoran’s face dissipated, replaced by a slight smile.
To say he "never lied" was pure nonsense. Yang Haoran didn’t even blush when spouting such shameless words.
However, he genuinely wasn't deceiving Ye Zhiqiu about his ability to reinforce the female demon’s soul.
Receiving Yang Haoran’s affirmation, Ye Zhiqiu’s emotions grew even more fervent, sweeping away his previous gloom.
While this outcome wasn't as ideal as he had imagined, it was far better than her soul constantly being exposed on the Demon Armament, and infinitely better than Soul Transformation.
“Alright then, please proceed quickly! ” Ye Zhiqiu exclaimed, his face brimming with excitement.
“No rush. Her soul is currently in a state of slumber. Although I have a way to awaken her soul, to avoid harming it, I haven’t done so. It’s best to let her soul awaken naturally after seven days. With my assistance, as long as she doesn't enter the world within the sword, she will be safe. You absolutely don’t need to worry about her soul weakening over time. So, we have plenty of time to discuss other matters. ”
Ye Zhiqiu understood what Yang Haoran meant; he knew Yang Haoran was about to discuss his fee for intervention. The excitement on his face slowly receded, and his expression turned serious.
“How much will it cost? Just name your price. As long as you can completely separate her soul from my Lifebound Demon Armament, I’m willing to pay any price,” Ye Zhiqiu said.
“Hehe, well, whether you’re willing to pay is one thing; whether you have the ability to pay is another,” Yang Haoran said with a faint smile.
Ye Zhiqiu’s brows furrowed tightly. He understood Yang Haoran’s meaning, and it was precisely that understanding that made him feel helpless.
He remained silent, waiting for Yang Haoran to continue.
“You must have seen how dangerous this operation was. Not only did I suffer severe injuries, but Bai Xue and you nearly died at Cloud Mist Mountain Manor. The perilous nature of it needs no further explanation from me; you understand. Yet, for such a dangerous undertaking, all I received was an IOU. No, not even an IOU—just a verbal promise. ”
“However, I have no complaints about this matter. After all, it was something we discussed beforehand. So, no matter how dangerous the operation was, even if it meant losing my life, I would never blame anyone, because it was my own choice, and I will be responsible for my choice. The reason I’m bringing this up now is merely to state a fact, and at the same time, to remind you that for our upcoming transaction, I’d rather not continue extending credit. ”
When his words fell, Yang Haoran stopped speaking and looked at Ye Zhiqiu, waiting for his reply.
Ye Zhiqiu did not remain silent. He thought for a moment before saying, “I genuinely don’t have anything that would appeal to you right now. If I did, I would have given it to you before this operation; why would I wait until now? ”
Yang Haoran first smiled, then nodded, saying, “Exactly, that’s what I thought at the time too. But now, I no longer believe that. ”
Ye Zhiqiu’s brows furrowed. He didn't quite understand what Yang Haoran meant.
“Can you explain it more clearly? ” Ye Zhiqiu asked.
“Alright, I won’t beat around the bush. To be frank, there’s one other thing on you that I value greatly, and this item can serve as my payment, including the remuneration for the previous operation, which can also be settled with this one item. ” Yang Haoran stated.
“What is it? Just say the word. If I have it, I will absolutely produce it,” Ye Zhiqiu replied immediately.
“Time. I want your time. ”
Yang Haoran’s reply caused Ye Zhiqiu to freeze, then he immediately understood what Yang Haoran meant. Moonlit Night God
