Chapter 505: Return from the Dream (42)
After Xia He left, Bai Jiu and Shen Qingli were the only ones left in the room.
Bai Jiu quickly calmed himself down, then jumped down from the chair, walked to Shen Qingli, and asked nervously, "Boss Shen, do you... need me to do anything?"
Ever since he experienced what happened with Wen Zongyu, he felt that he had grown up and knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch. This kind of "free" thing would only make him pay a greater price.
However, the Soul Pawnshop actually has a different view in Bai Jiu's mind. After all, there are many successful examples around him. Although they have suffered some setbacks, at least they have realized their respective wishes. Therefore, compared to Wen Zongyu, he trusts Boss Shen more.
Shen Qingli nodded, and without further ado, she took out the contract that stated the terms of both parties and handed it to Bai Jiu, "Take a look, it's all on it."
Bai Jiu took the contract and looked at the considerable content on it. He suddenly felt helpless. Although he was half human and half demon, he was still a child no matter how you looked at it. How could he start to make such an important decision?
He was a little confused for a moment, but it didn't matter whether he understood it or not now. Bai Jiu could see that Shen Qingli didn't seem to have much desire to make this deal. She basically held the attitude of "if you're willing, do it, if you're not willing, get out".
So he didn't dare to say that he wanted to go back and discuss it, for fear that he might miss the only chance to save his mother.
Bai Jiu read it word by word. To be honest, maybe because of his lack of experience, he couldn't really see any pitfalls in it and could only look at some superficial conditions.
What about being loyal to Boss Shen and not betraying him, and having to return to the Great Wilderness with his family and settle in Wan Yao City...
There are quite a few conditions, but none of them are a problem. The only problem is that Shen Qingli wants the bloodline of the Jianmu sacred tree. Can he have this bloodline, or can he only have his mother's?
Bai Jiu couldn't figure it out, but he had to ask this question. His mother's current condition was not optimistic. If her blood was taken away again...
Faced with Bai Jiu's question, Shen Qingli thought about it, as if considering whether it would be feasible to directly extract Bai Jiu's blood, but in the end, she still did not agree directly.
After all, in a small world like this, even if there really is a so-called "Jianmu Sacred Tree", its bloodline would not be too pure. As its descendant, Bai Yan's bloodline or essence from the real Jianmu Sacred Tree would be even less, and Bai Jiu...
However, despite this fact, Shen Qingli still nodded and modified the contract, changing the original extraction of the blood essence from Bai Yan to paying her with the blood essence of the Jianmu sacred tree.
But in fact, Shen Qingli felt that no matter whether she changed or not, there would only be one result. You know, Bai Yan was different from her. She was a very "qualified" mother.
A mother, if given a choice, would never watch her child sacrifice herself to save herself, so even if the contract was changed, what she would get in the end would only be Bai Yan's bloodline.
After the contract was modified, he flew in front of Bai Jiu again. Seeing that Bai Jiu had not moved for a long time, he shook his head, as if urging him to make a decision as soon as possible.
Having already made his suggestion once, Bai Jiu did not dare to waste any more time and immediately took the contract to read it. He first glanced at the revised clause, then went over the clauses he had read before, and then he solemnly signed his name on it.
Soon, the light came on and the contract was formed.
Bai Jiu looked at Shen Qingli with both trepidation and anticipation, as if asking her when she could save his mother?
Shen Qingli is not a black-hearted businessman. Now that she has received the reward, she naturally has to do something. Although she does not know Bai Yan's specific situation, there is no doubt that Bai Ze's power can at least play a role in alleviating the situation.
So, Shen Qingli extracted a trace of Bai Ze power from the Bai Ze Order that she was nurturing, added a few spiritual medicines to nourish the body, rubbed out a pill with her hands in the space of consciousness, put it in the jade bottle and handed it to Bai Jiu.
"The stuff in here can temporarily relieve your mother's condition. After using it, she will be able to temporarily regain her mobility, so you'd better take this opportunity to pack up your things and prepare to move."
After she finished speaking, she gave Bai Jiu another paper talisman and said, "When you are ready, you can come back when you are four years old. I will personally send you back to the Great Wilderness and treat your mother."
Bai Jiu took the two things handed over by Shen Qingli with his hands that were shaking slightly. His nose felt sore and tears seemed to fall uncontrollably in his eyes. "Thank you, thank you..."
Looking at the emotional Bai Jiu, Shen Qingli sighed in her heart, walked up and patted his shoulder, "Okay, I'll take you back first, pay attention to the time."
After saying that, Bai Jiu only felt a flash before his eyes, and the whole person changed places, as if from indoors to outdoors. This place seems a little familiar?
He suddenly realized something, looked up abruptly, and saw the dead tree in front of him. It was his mother, Bai Yan.
Bai Jiu reacted immediately and checked the jade bottle and paper talisman in his hand. He breathed a sigh of relief after finding that there was nothing wrong with either of them. Looking at his mother in front of him, he took two steps forward and placed his hand on the dead tree.
