Aking from a week-long slumber, Jade's face was filled with uncertainty about her fate.

Jade lay flat on the silk sheet, feeling the bed beneath her soft, she had been in a coma after her ring had been retrieved halfway through the battle, so it was unclear what had happened after that, and for her, the sudden change of scene made her suspect that she was still in a dream.

The color palette on the ceiling is simple and warm, and although the style of the ceiling lamp is practical, it can still be seen that it is a first-line brand in the lighting industry.

Her slender eyelashes rose suddenly.

"Is this a five-star hotel!?"

The overly comfortable bed and the meticulous details gave Jade the illusion that Yuki Ishii always rented a five-star hotel and whipped her there, so much so that Jade had a great fear of a five-star hotel.

After calming down a little, Jade noticed that although the decoration of the room was high-grade, the area was not as large as that of a five-star hotel, and it was basically the size of an ordinary family bedroom.

Without making a sound and cautiously sitting up from the bed, Jade was relieved to see her own ninja knife on the bedside table, the familiar weapon.

This ninja knife was not given to her by Ishii Yuhao, but was buried under a pine tree in a Japanese temple in one of her past lives, and the burial place was passed on to the next generation as an important knowledge, and it was dug out from under the tree by the jadeite.

The knife body is engraved with the words "source ghost cut", it seems to be made by a famous craftsman in the Heian period, the blade has been baptized by the years but is as sharp as new, just pour a very little spiritual power on it, you can easily cut the ** of the demon god.

However, after a fight with Xia Chi, the back of the knife of the source ghost cut has a slight melting and bending, and Japanese knives are mostly made of high-carbon steel, and the melting point of high-carbon steel is lower than that of low-carbon steel. It's really not a joke that the attribute restraint is really not a joke, Xia Chi's flames can not only destroy the snake demon scale armor, but also cause some damage to the jade weapon.

Thankfully, Minamoto Kiri had been with her for more than a few months, and just like the ninja suit on Jade's body, she had a way to slowly repair it by consuming mana, the mechanics of which were not yet known to Nank.

After inserting the saber back into the scabbard on her back, Jade suddenly realized that she was now a free ring spirit! Yuhiro Ishii is dead!

If they don't form a contract with humans, the free Ring Spirit is an incomplete container for storing mana, whether it is from faith or murder and blood sacrifices, the mana will leak out at a fairly fast rate, so much so that in most cases, they can't even use 1% of their mana.

Even if the current jade tries her best, it is difficult to use her magic power to transform a small snake, and at best she can only retain the ability to communicate with the real snake's mind.

Not only that, but after contemplating and probing her magic core, Jade found that the container she used to store her magic power was not only incomplete, but even the volume of the container had been reduced by half compared to before.

"Yes, because my heart was wounded, and my body was forced to repair by the Emperor's decree, so the magic core was permanently damaged, right?"

Just as Ishii Yuhao estimated, Emerald has fallen from mana 7 to mana 3, and if she wants to return to her original level, it will take a long time to absorb faith power, or take a shortcut to kill people and blood sacrifices, and kill other demon gods.

Finally escaped from the clutches of Ishii Yuhao, Jade didn't want to kill anyone for the time being, the only thing she was worried about was whether any children were hurt in the previous battle.

The toes fell silently, and the jade ninja shoes said to be shoes, but in fact they were more like a mixture of leggings and socks, made entirely to facilitate stealth operations.

Room 4 is in the basement, naturally without windows, and some light is spilling in through the gap in the lower part of the door, indicating that there are people outside, and they are still talking in a medium voice...... Emerald leaned in her ears to eavesdrop on who's talking outside.

Although the mana core is damaged, the current total mana value is less than half of the original, but the original free state of the ring spirit cannot exert 1% of its own mana, so the decay of the total mana value is not a problem that Emerald is eager to solve now.

Jade's physical skills are still 6, which is the so-called "Shura level", her poisonous snake magic is not the kind of domineering type that destroys the world, many times she doesn't rely on magic to eat, even if it is difficult for her to infuse enough spiritual power into the blade of the source ghost cut, the source ghost cut may have cut off Xia Chi's arm, but she can still escape with her own body skills.

In addition to whether the children are safe, another question that bothers her is why she has a chance to escape.

Ishii Yuki is dead, and his soul is imprisoned on the edge, ready to be dragged to the world to devour. The Emperor's Decree seems to be aimed entirely at the Decree, but in fact once the Emperor dies, the first two Decrees of the Emperor immediately become invalid, and the Emperor's soul must fulfill the obligations set forth in Article 3 of the Emperor's Decree and be devoured by the spirits that had served him.

The contract between Solomon and the Demon King Baal has God as a witness, and just because Solomon can cheat does not mean that others can cheat as well. Ishii Yuhao can't escape, there is no **, only the soul is imprisoned on the edge, which is equivalent to walking naked in the biting cold wind of minus 50 degrees, compared to this, maybe being swallowed by jade is more merciful, at least a hundred.

Jade is not ready to immediately devour Ishii Yuhao's soul, she hopes that Ishii will suffer more, and the act of devouring souls can improve her mana, if she has signed a contract with someone else at this time to make the mana container complete, then the mana obtained from devouring will be stored normally, otherwise, the free state of the ring spirit devouring the soul of the previous emperor will only temporarily increase the mana, and can only be used as an emergency measure.

"I've been asleep in the ring for more than a week, right? Why am I still free? As most capable people do, shouldn't they immediately put the snake ring on their fingers and make me their slave? ”

The people who spoke outside the door were none other than Nanke and Chiyuki, and Jade immediately recognized their voices.

“…… Emerald doesn't choose a human to establish a contract, we are almost equivalent to ordinary people when the ring spirit is in a free state, even if Emerald is superb, it will be quite powerless in the face of other demon gods and abilities, remember when my sister and I were hunted down by Tothhead? The wandering Tothhead had to kill people and sacrifice along the way to keep his magic at a high level, but wasn't it killed by us who had just established the contract? ”

"Qianxue, of course, what you said makes sense, but I have said before, I want to respect Jade's own wishes, we Chinese have an old saying called 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you', if I wake up and find myself in the United States before the emancipation of slavery and become an employee of a banana plantation, how do I feel?"

"Huh? Do you compare yourself to a slave owner? Do you think my sister and I are also your slaves? ”

"That's not what I said...... Besides, where do you two look like slaves? I ate more snacks than the main meal, and I was still drinking when I was fine, although I have been getting better lately......"

Qianxue's ice-blue eyes looked at room 4, she was also a ring spirit, she keenly felt that Jade had woken up, but she didn't remind Nanke in front of her, but continued to pretend not to know and discuss with Nanke.

"Hmph, Your Majesty, you seem to have a big opinion of me and my sister! The two of us are ring spirits outside of a hundred generations, and it's really sorry that we can misinterpret the laws of the Emperor! Jade is the ninety-ninth generation of the demon god, just stuck within a hundred generations, you can wear a snake ring and send her to do things for you at will, what are you hesitating about? Isn't she the slave of your dreams? ”

Nanke didn't understand why Qianxue, who was still seriously discussing just now, suddenly became so narrow-minded and implied sarcasm.

"Hey, when did I say I was going to keep Emerald as a slave? In that case, what's the difference between me and Hiroshi Ishii? I don't know much about Jadeite, but she can risk her life to protect her children, and I can be sure that Jade is not a bad person. Whatever she had done under the pressure of the Emperor's decree, it was not her own fault...... I don't just wear a snake ring and give it to anyone as a normal item! ”

After luring Nanke into saying these words, Qian Xue snickered in her heart and said, "But you put the snake ring in room 4 and locked the door, isn't it obvious that you want to make Jade your ring spirit?" If Jade doesn't agree to become your ring spirit, you will be driven out of here and become a lonely ghost hunted by other demon gods, right? ”

Nanke's brows furrowed, and he wondered, "Qianxue, what are you talking about?" Didn't you put the snake ring in room 4? The door is also locked to prevent the sixth uncle from having the opportunity to fish in troubled waters! And the basement has been renovated by you to look like a palace, and there are so many spare rooms, even if Jade doesn't want to sign a contract with anyone, there's nothing wrong with letting her live here!
