Chapter 1280: Chapter 1278: The Special Contracted Spirit, Lingxi

"My name is Gu Xi. I hope to sign a contract with you and borrow your strength to fight for me."

Gu Xi extended his right hand amidst the blue light emitted from the Contract Scroll.

However, this time the situation felt a bit strange to Gu Xi.

Because the corpse didn’t react for a long time.

This situation surprised Gu Xi; usually, Contracted Undead aren’t like this.

Could it be that the item Gu Xi chose this time wasn’t suitable?

Gu Xi recalled the items he had picked out.

Most of them were sourced from the Library.

There was no issue regarding quality.

Or perhaps the corpse had a problem?

Just when Gu Xi was wondering what was wrong, the corpse’s hand lightly moved, touched Gu Xi’s fingertip, and then withdrew.

Then a tiny voice reached Gu Xi’s ear.

"Lingxi, willing to fight for the master."

Hearing the voice, Gu Xi couldn’t help but lift his head.

He noticed that the corpse named Lingxi vanished from right in front of him.

In the place where the corpse originally lay, only a mist with fragrance remained.

What is this situation?

Fortunately, the information that appeared gave Gu Xi some understanding of what was inside.

Gu Xi didn’t expect that when he was merely looking for a chef and a contracted undead to guard the door, he stumbled upon a treasure here.

[Ding! Contracted Undead successful, Lingxi (Contracted Undead) joins player’s retinue.]

Illusion Technique class?

Gu Xi didn’t immediately react.

Earlier when selecting a corpse, he was just thinking about finding a chef, never expecting it to have anything to do with illusion techniques.

"Lingxi, come out for a moment."

Gu Xi thought for a moment and finally decided to call the person out and ask.

The next instant, Lingxi appeared in front of Gu Xi.

Upon her appearance, Gu Xi felt something amiss.

Because when Lingxi appeared, there was a feeling that the Lingxi before him was fake.

"Lingxi, what is the situation with you?"

"N-No, sorry, Master, it’s instinct."

Being questioned by Gu Xi, Lingxi finally became genuine.

Lingxi also began to explain her situation.

Earlier, Lu Xi mentioned that Lingxi’s corpse came from a certain world, and was a princess with the bloodlines of a giant dragon and flame.

Actually, when Lingxi was killed, that was indeed the situation.

However, the princess part was exaggerated; she was just a maid beside the princess.

And her princess wasn’t a human princess but a Dragon Princess.

Lingxi’s species is Clam Spirit, so she has dragon blood inside her.

As for the flame bloodline, it’s entirely because the route that Clam Spirits take is the Mirage Dragon, aiming to turn water element power into mist, cultivating illusion techniques within the mist.

The illusion lineage is almost undetectable; the water element bloodline turns to mist, naturally showcasing the traits of the flame bloodline.

So the final result is that the information on the corpse contained a minor error.

Lingxi’s greatest feature wasn’t displayed.

Instead, she was regarded as an ordinary corpse, placed in a relatively cheap spot.

Ultimately, it was a fortunate gain for Gu Xi.

"Clam Spirit?"

Gu Xi seriously confirmed.

"Yes, Jade Clam."

Lingxi lifted her head, seeming proud of her species.

However, Gu Xi saw through Lingxi’s essence.

Out of a total of six contracted undead, she was the most timid.

"Alright, your abilities are enough to guard the room, and you were a maid to a princess before, so you should know how to handle chores.

I’ll leave the apartment block in Yin City to you."

Though Lingxi’s courage is lacking, Gu Xi still made the decision.

Yin City is relatively safer; arranging Lingxi there is the best choice.

Of course, Gu Xi still asked Lingxi a question.

"Lingxi, you’re not socially anxious, are you?"

"No, I can buy food and cook, I can do it all."

Once Lingxi explained things clearly, Gu Xi didn’t ask further; he only instructed Lingxi to return to the apartment block through the Furnace Stone.

While he intended to use the time left to deal with the group instance matters.

Gu Xi kept mentioning that he should first deal with the aftermath group instance of the Westminster Cathedral major event.

Yet he kept postponing.

Only now did Gu Xi realize he had indeed delayed.

Whenever he had some free time, he would plan to address the instance matters.

Eldest Princess Anna was constantly busy with preparations.

With the work for the new contracted undead arranged, Gu Xi checked the time and proactively contacted Eldest Princess Anna.

"I have some time now, perfect for going to the dungeon to relax, let’s get going."

Just as Gu Xi was about to call Eldest Princess Anna along, someone grabbed his sleeve.

"Master, you haven’t eaten for a while. Let me make some food for you first.

There’s nothing good in terms of ingredients in this city, so I’ll make some simple stir-fry for you to fill your stomach.

Once I go out and buy some vegetables, I’ll make stew for you."

Gu Xi, about to set out with his weapon, was visibly stunned.

Since entering the Nether Bone Wind Academy, it seemed no one managed his diet like this anymore.

Seeing Lingxi’s determined gaze, Gu Xi said decisively.

"Alright!"

Lingxi is quite quick at what she does; although the ingredients in Yalidov aren’t great, she acted decisively and swiftly.

She didn’t even try some clearly undesirable ingredients.

Nor did she add any random things to the food.

Pure flavors were used to attract attention.

Soon, several homely dishes were prepared.

A big bowl of rice accompanied them.

Checking the time, Gu Xi couldn’t help but marvel at Lingxi’s unique talent in this area.

Most importantly, Lingxi’s method altered the twisted and bizarre style of undead food.

Her dishes were full of color, fragrance, and flavor.

While it didn’t reach the level where one can’t stop eating,

it did manage to give a feeling similar to being under an illusion after eating.

Of course, Gu Xi had reason to suspect the illusion wasn’t inherent to the dish but rather an effect of Lingxi’s powers.

But who would care about that?

For Gu Xi, as long as the food is delicious, whether it’s an illusion or not doesn’t matter.
