Looking at the blue screen in front of her, meng xiao was shocked by the new changes.

There have been new upgrades. Keeping that aside, meng xiao focused on the deal at hand.

"So since I am cleared that you can't hurt me. I have agreed to make a deal with you" meng xiao said with a mischievous smirk.

"What?" The cold voice sounded.

"Since I will be your new partner in crime I have agreed to some terms and conditions. Firstly you you need to understand something, even if you are a god I don't care you are bound to this contract and must never have the taught of breaking it" meng xiao said with a serious expression.

"Agreed," the voice said. With his tone, one will know that he is a prideful person. He only agree to this deal because he needed her help.

"Secondly as you have said earlier, you must do everything you can to make me stronger" meng xiao said in a commanding tone.

"And thirdly you need to show some sincerity so that I can understand how our future collaboration will look like" Meng Xiao said.

"Now that you have said your part, as your partner I will also make my request. I need the core of magic beast cause I am only a soul I need it to sustain and strengthen myself"

"So you must also fulfil your part of the deal" the voice verbalize.

"For your first request on becoming strong, here is the path to heaven scripture use it to begin your path to cultivation. I hope I have shone you enough sincerity" the bone-chilling voice which sounded like an abyss of death spoke. He passed the scripture to Meng Xiao through their connected mind link. The scripture is just as good as the previous scripture she practices in her former life, it matches perfectly to her that it feels like it is tailor-made for her.

"Who and what are you? " Meng Xiao asked.

"With your current strength, you are not worthy of knowing my name as knowing too much will do you much more harm than good as it will only bring you impending dangers. For now, just know me as the devil" the voice said sounding like a demon from the depth of hell.

"The devil? what an anonymous name. Moving on with the deal how many beast cores would you need? 10? 20? 50? Just tell me how much so I can budget for it" Meng Xiao asked.

"That's too low that it is almost negligible to me, I need at least 10,000 for the starting," the voice said.

Hearing the astronomical number Meng Xiao almost choked. Where did this devil expect me to get that much beast core, even if I robbed all the beast core in this empire it still won't be enough" Meng xXiaothought inwardly.

"Aren't you being a little too greedy, will you even be able to handle that much energy do you mind reducing the numbers a bit?" Meng Xiao asked.

"I am being too merciful for asking for that amount and if I get the beast cores and recover part of my powers I can also help you to lift the seal that binds you" the cold bone-chilling voice sounded.

Meng Xiao felt ashamed of herself, as a thief goddess in her past life, money is nothing but trash which litters the ground but now she is as poor as a church rat. "As long as money can get it, so be it," Meng Xiao said with a cunning smile.

"Who says she won't be able to get it, as long as money can get it, she is willing to spread her evil claws on this empire"

"I will have to make a trip to the market" Meng Xiao taught inwardly.

"If I get enough beast cores, I can help you to lift the seals that bind your powers and beauty," the voice said.

Hearing the word beauty meng xiao's ears stood up in anticipation. "You mean there is hope for me to be beautiful? " meng xiao asked.

"Yes, there is a powerful seal on you that obstruct your powers. It is a powerful seal known as the moonlight seal. It is there to seal your different powers till you are strong enough to wield it" the devil's cold voice sounded again.

It was already late at night meng xiao got up.

"I will have to make a trip to the market without being seen"meng xiao said almost like a reminder to herself

As she prepare to leave she heard a knock on the door.

"Young miss are you okay, I was so scared for you. You can't die yet okay, you promised me that you will take care of me so you can't break out of your deal" luo li said sounding like a complaining mother.

Hearing her words meng xiao became confused, "When did I make such a promise without realizing it?"

"To take care of you, I have decided to sleep here with you for the night to protect you," luo li said as she dropped her a sleeping bag and a pillow on the floor.

Hearing this meng xiao quickly said. "There is no need for that, the physician said I need more rest and have no disturbance" meng xiao quickly forged a lie to trick the little girl into leaving. She has a mission and she cannot be delayed.

"There won't be any disturbance and I promise to stay as quiet as a mouse" luo li promised.

"That's not the case, apart from needing to rest, the physician also said my case is serious and I have an illness that can be easily transmitted" meng xiao said forging lies from her mouth as if she drinking water.

"Do I have to go?" luo li said with wet puppy eyes.

"You have to, I don't want to hurt you, I promise you that after I am fully healed you can come and live with me" meng xiao said assuring the little girl.

"I will leave you now," luo li said as she packed her things and left.

"It is so exhausting to convince her. Now that this problem is solved it's time to get back to the main deal" Meng Xiao said.
