Chapter 117 Contract!
Chapter 117 Contract!
As Xu Yan and Xu Ying followed the maids through the massive stone door, they were suddenly hit with an unexpected complication—their invisibility was lifted!
Both of them froze, their hearts pounding.
But it was fine.
Luckily, Xu Yan had disguised himself in advance using [Pain Mask].
Otherwise, this would have been a disaster.
Since there were hundreds of maids, the sudden appearance of two extra people didn't attract much attention.
The other maids simply thought, When did we get two more recruits?
Some of the more competitive ones, however, quickly jumped to another conclusion—
Are these two at risk of elimination?!
At the bottom of the hierarchy, the maids who performed the worst were kicked out of the underground palace and never given the chance to serve the great shamans or the gods again.
This realization sent a wave of nervous energy through the entire group.
Now, every maid was determined—
They would give their best performance!
Every movement, every gesture would be executed with perfection!
The ones eliminated would NOT be them!

The Sacred Altar
As Xu Yan and Xu Ying followed the maids inside, they entered a breathtaking hall.
Right in front of them stood a massive, sacred altar.
Beneath the altar, ten great shamans sat in a perfect circle, chanting in unison.
And at the center of the altar—
A massive, glowing green dome.
The top of the dome was decorated with strings of colorful totem cards, each one representing a prayer or a blessing from the Voodoo clan.
The maids got to work immediately.
Some climbed up high to clean the totem cards.
Some swept the ground with absolute precision and care.
Others wiped down the massive beams overhead.
But one rule remained unbroken—
No one was allowed to go near the dome.
Even standing too close was considered blasphemy.
Xu Yan and Xu Ying blended in, pretending to clean the floor.
Xu Ying's breathing was rapid.
As long as she pretended to finish cleaning and left safely, she could send the location of the Voodoo Dragon to the military.
But Xu Yan?
Xu Yan was breathing rapidly for a different reason.
Because he could feel the subtle tremors coming from inside the dome.
The Voodoo Dragon was about to hatch!

The Birth of a God
Then, it happened.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
Thin cracks spread across the dome, and the ten great shamans immediately became ecstatic.
"WELCOME TO THE NIRVANA OF OUR GOD!"
All the great shamans fell to their knees, bowing.
All the maids immediately stopped what they were doing, descended from their positions, and prostrated on the ground.
Even Xu Yan and Xu Ying followed suit, lying flat.
Then, at that moment—
The shell shattered completely.
A young, emerald-scaled dragon emerged, stretching its massive wings.
It lifted its head and unleashed a roar—
A deafening, bone-chilling roar that shook the entire underground palace!
---
The Whole Voodoo Clan Kneels
Above ground, every single member of the Voodoo clan felt the presence of their god.
From shamans to guards…
From women and children to warriors…
Everyone fell to their knees, their faces wet with tears.
They murmured prayers and offered blessings, their voices quivering with emotion.
Some of the older shamans openly wept.
"My God, you have finally achieved Nirvana!"
---
The Recruits Are Terrified
In their hidden positions around the underground palace, the infiltrating recruits were trembling.
Their chat group exploded.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!"
"WAS THAT A DRAGON ROAR?!"
"I'M SHAKING! WHAT KIND OF PRESSURE WAS THAT?!"
"Xu Yan! Are you okay?!"
"Xu Yan! ANSWER!"
"Xu Yan and Xu Ying are still inside the underground palace! The roar came from near them!"
"WE'RE GOING IN! WE NEED TO CHECK!"
---
The One Who Stood Up
Inside the underground temple, the entire hall was kneeling.
Not a single person dared to lift their head.
Except one person.
Xu Yan.
Xu Ying's heart nearly stopped.
What was he doing?!
Is he crazy?!
Standing up right now, in front of the great shamans and the Voodoo Dragon, was suicidal!
---
Shock Spreads Through the Hall
Nearby maids gasped when they saw Xu Yan casually standing up.
Is she out of her mind?!
This was the most sacred moment—
The rebirth of their god.
And this idiot maid was standing up?!
How dare she?!
The great shamans' faces darkened.
One of them whispered sharply:
"Maid, get down immediately."
"Your actions are disrespectful to the gods."
But before the great shamans could react—
Xu Yan sprinted forward.
Straight toward the Voodoo Dragon.
---
Blasphemy!
A gasp of horror rippled through the hall.
"SHE'S MOVING!"
"WHAT IS SHE DOING?!"
And then, to everyone's absolute shock and disgust—
Xu Yan reached out and slapped the Voodoo Dragon's toes.
---
The Dragon is Confused
The young dragon blinked in confusion.
What was this tiny thing doing?
Touching my toes?
---
The Great Shamans Are Furious
The great shamans lost their minds.
"BLASPHEMY!"
"KILL HER!"
One of them immediately activated a poison barrier, summoning a wall of deadly venomous energy to stop Xu Yan.
---
The Impossible Happens
But then—
Xu Yan walked through it.
Completely unharmed.
---
The Underground Palace Falls Silent
The great shamans froze in disbelief.
Even the clan leader's poison barrier didn't work?!
Who was this maid?!
---
Contract Activation
Xu Yan slammed his palm against the Voodoo Dragon's scales.
The contract skill activated.
And in that moment—
Everything changed.
