The so-called contract in the little girl's mouth was the kind of master-servant contract between the monks, and once signed, it was not to be disobeyed. If the servant violates the contract, he will inevitably find a strong backlash, and the light one will lose all his skills, and the heavy one will die on the spot, and his soul will be scattered. Therefore, this kind of contract is rarely signed, because after it is signed, the party as a servant must have everything under the master's control, even life and death.

Like this, Li Xiao took the initiative to sign a master-servant contract, and it was the first time Li Xiao had seen it. And it came from the mouth of such a little girl, and for a while she couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why do you want to practice so much, and even go so far as to sign such a contract with me?"

Seeing that Li Xiao didn't directly deny it, the little girl couldn't help but smile on her face, and answered Li Xiao's question very seriously: "Adults should know that becoming a Ding Furnace and a sacrifice is the ultimate and inevitable fate of our people, even if we are not arrested this time, we will definitely be arrested next time." One of my older brothers and one of my sisters was taken by them. I think if I can cultivate, then at least I can guarantee that no one in my family will be arrested before I die. That's why I want to follow the adults and ask them to do it. ”

The little girl's words made the four people next to them feel a sense of sympathy, but they were also a little envious of each other, after all, the little girl's talent can be cultivated, and once they are captured, they will definitely become goods, and they don't know when they will become sacrifices.

Listening to the words of the laughing girl, Li Xiao looked at the little girl carefully. From the outside, this little girl was only less than five years old, and it can be seen from the firmness in her eyes that her words are definitely from the heart. A child of such a big age knows that he has to sacrifice himself to protect his family, Li Xiao thinks that he is already very sensible when he is a child, but he can't help but blush a little if he can't get up with this child. It can be seen that the children here should have lived in this shadow since childhood, and they may be taken away and become sacrifices at any time.

It's just that Li Xiao still has a bunch of things to solve now, how can he have so much heart to take care of a child. It's just that when Li Xiao wanted to refuse, seeing the girl's expectant gaze, and then thinking of her heartfelt Mandarin before, Li Xiao hesitated a little again. When the words came to his lips, the ghost made the gods become: "Okay." As soon as the words came out, Li Xiao regretted it, and he didn't expect that the words he wanted to refuse would become like this when he came to his lips. After thinking about it, he still didn't regret it, he was such a big person, and he was embarrassed to go back on his word in front of a little girl.

Hearing Li Xiao's promise, the little girl raised her hands above her head with excitement on her face, then jumped up and spun around in place, and then as if she thought of something, she quickly knelt down again and kowtowed respectfully to Li Xiao three times. In addition to envy, the other four people only had a look of love and no jealousy. They are all from the same village, and they are happy that the little girl can be appreciated by this adult. Even if she still escaped the fate of not becoming a furnace and a sacrifice in the end, at least this time was much longer than theirs, and she could not only practice but also have a certain amount of freedom. Don't be a slave like a dog like them.

Since he agreed, Li Xiao was no longer entangled and depressed, but said: "A few of you can go back by yourself, and you will follow me in the future." With a wave of his hand, a soft breeze swept up the little girl and flew away into the distance.

The direction in which Li Xiao flew with the little girl was not the nearby city, but a nearby cave that he learned from the people who had been robbed and would not normally come to it. The cave was located on top of a vertical cliff that mortals couldn't reach, so they wouldn't even explore it when they were sweeping.

The entrance to the cave is small enough for only one person to pass through. But when you walk in, the space inside is very large, almost like a small courtyard. After Li Xiao took a brief rest, a small temporary cave house came out.

At this time, Li Xiao has not completely fused with this body, so he can't use this body to cultivate, and the energy he uses now is all the energy on the Yuan Infant Sword Infant and the relics. And if they want to recover, they can only rely on their natural absorption of energy to recover, or they can devour other heavenly demons to recover. So now Li Xiao is saving energy by menstruation.

Originally, I wanted to arrange a few formations to cover up my breath, but there were no materials in my hand at all, and even a slightly better formation could not be arranged. In the end, Li Xiao could only reluctantly arrange a simple formation to cover his aura, as long as it was not a monk above the third realm who was close to thirty zhang away, he would basically not be discovered.

After arranging the formation, Li Xiao took the little girl to one of the rooms in the cave. Just when the little girl thought that Li Xiao was going to sign a contract with her, Li Xiao said: "It's not impossible for you to practice with me, but I can't stay here for a long time, and now I have two choices for you." First, I'll teach you some basic practice methods and precautions, and I'll give you a copy of the exercises, and then I'll leave. As for what you can become in the future, it all depends on your own chance. But if nothing else, you should be able to guarantee your family's life. ”

After hearing this, the little girl thought for a moment, and then asked curiously, "What is the other choice?"

Li Xiao glanced at her, and then replied lightly: "The second way is for you to practice with me in the future, so you must sign a contract with me so that I can rest assured that you will follow me." And you may not have the opportunity to come back to see your parents and family in the future. And I can't guarantee the safety of your parents, because I'm not a monk here, and I can only ask the monk here to take care of one or two at most. ”

The girl fanned her beautiful eyes twice, looked at Li Xiao with a puzzled expression, and then asked with a hint of uncertainty in her voice, and asked with a burst of expectation: "My lord, do you mean that if I choose the first one, then I don't need to sign a contract with the adult, and I can stay with my parents?"

I had been seeing this little girl pretend to be calm like a little adult, but now that I finally saw her show the cute side that a little girl should have, Li Xiao couldn't help but feel a little funny and a little sad at the same time. What has this little girl gone through, so that she knows how to disguise herself at such a young age. Looking at the girl's expectant eyes, Li Xiao smiled and nodded.

After getting Li Xiao's affirmation, the girl jumped up excitedly, after all, who wants to be someone else's slave? However, in Li Xiao's discreet gaze, the little girl was only excited for a breath before immediately restraining her emotions, and then respectfully bowed her head and stood in front of Li Xiao with a nervous look on her face, and then asked: "My lord, do I need to pay any other price?" She still didn't believe that Li Xiao would help her so unpaid.

Li Xiao smiled and said, "I have no parents since I was a child, and my father-in-law brought me up. When I heard that you had to sacrifice yourself for your parents at such a young age, I admired your courage. Helping you is just a gesture, but for you, it could be a life-changer. Okay, let's not waste any more time, there are now four paths for you to choose from, the first one is to choose demon cultivation like the other monks here. The advantage of cultivating demons is that you can be the same as the monks here, you will not be excluded, and at the same time, you will compound your physique. The downside is that I am not a demon cultivator myself, so I can only hand over the cultivation techniques of the original owner of this body to you. The rest must be explored and learned by yourself, and as for how far you can go in the future, it is completely up to your own chance. ”

"The second path and the third path belong to the cultivation methods of the other two continents, one is spiritual cultivation and the other is physical cultivation. I have systematic cultivation methods for both of these cultivation methods up to the fourth realm. I can also pass on my experience to you. But there are pros and cons, if you choose this way of practice, then you will definitely become the target of exclusion and hunting by the local monks, and even your family will be implicated. So I suggest you don't choose these two. ”

As for the fourth article, this one is somewhat similar to the physical practice, but it is somewhat different from him. The similarity lies in the fact that you have to exercise your body at the beginning, and you can strengthen your body to a certain level before you can start to really cultivate, and the process is very hard. And if you choose this one, your talent may be wasted. ”

Li Xiao explained all the pros and cons of demonic cultivation, physical cultivation, spiritual cultivation and martial cultivation, and then asked: "What do you want to choose now?" But I want to make it clear first, although you are still very young, the choices you make will affect your future life trajectory. So even if you're still very young, you're responsible for the choices you make. This is what I hope you can do, no matter how old you are, no matter what your status, you will be responsible for everything you do. You can't use your youth or old age as a shield. No matter what choice you make, you must think about the result, even if you choose the wrong path in the end, no matter how difficult it is, you must finish the road on your knees. Do you understand?"

Seeing Li Xiao's true appearance, the little girl felt nervous and scared for no reason. However, she still understood Li Xiao's words. She took a deep breath, suppressed her nervous heart, and then bravely looked into Li Xiao's eyes, and replied, "Sakura understands that she will be responsible for any decisions she makes in the future. ”

Li Xiao nodded, and then asked, "Then which one do you choose?"

"I chose the first one, and I decided to become a demon cultivator, because this is the only way to protect my family. Even if the process is difficult, I'm not afraid. The little girl replied firmly.

"By the way, I don't know what your name is?" asked Li Xiao.

"My name is Sakura Lu. It's okay for adults to call me Sakura. ”
