CHAPTER 488: CHAPTER 386: THE THIRD MAID CANDIDATE

Lu Lin didn’t expect God Master Hei Ming to surrender so quickly.

He had just started to act, and the other party was already yielding.

However, Lu Lin didn’t quite believe this guy would truly be loyal to the Human Federation.

Unless... a master-servant contract was used.

Yes!

Lu Lin’s eyes lit up.

He currently has three servants, Tian Dayin, Tian Dalan, and Tou Meng.

After the Tian Da sisters, they will surely be protecting their parents in the Human Federation, especially since due to the previous Saint incident, it’s inconvenient for those two girls to return to the Exotic Battlefield.

Although Tou Meng is quite good, he is merely a veteran Star General. Additionally, after the death of the Eight-Armed Clan leader, Tou Meng and another Mo Ka are vying for power, and Lu Lin can’t be sure how it will turn out.

Furthermore, even if Tou Meng could win by luck, who knows how long it would take and what impact it would have on the development of the Human Federation.

In comparison, if God Master Hei Ming could be subdued, that would truly be beneficial to the Human Federation.

Three years later, Lu Lin will leave the Tianyuan Continent with the Slave Soldier Selection team. By then, without his protection, the Federation is bound to face retaliation from Hei Shark and others.

It would be better to use the time now to kill or subdue Hei Shark’s subordinates one by one.

When it’s time to set off, Lu Lin plans to have a good talk with Hei Shark, so even if he leaves, the Human Federation can remain untroubled.

Thinking of this, a slight smile appeared on Lu Lin’s face, and he nodded, "Alright."

Now it was Hei Ming’s turn to be stunned.

He had only made a few probing remarks for survival, and Lu Lin actually agreed.

"Show me your God Core."

Upon hearing Lu Lin say this, Hei Ming was shocked.

Previously, Black Shark God Master had said Lu Lin accidentally shattered Black Dragon God Master’s God Core, reassuring everyone that as long as they kept their core safe, they wouldn’t die even if Lu Lin defeated them.

But now, hearing Lu Lin directly mention the God Core, Hei Ming suddenly realized.

The last time Lu Lin was able to kill Black Dragon was definitely not just a stroke of luck.

"Alright."

Hei Ming honestly took out his God Core hidden under the skin of his neck and handed it to Lu Lin.

Lu Lin examined it carefully and tried to explore it with Spiritual Strength, but failed.

This God Core, he could destroy or grasp, but with his current strength, he couldn’t fathom its mysteries.

Unless it was placed into the Conscious Universe, allowing the Eyeball Star Core to devour it once more.

However, Lu Lin hesitated a bit.

If he couldn’t even explore the secrets of the God Core, could he really control God Master Hei Ming?

But recalling the previous instance when the Eyeball Star Core devoured one of his contracts, Lu Lin felt somewhat reassured.

Regardless, it’s worth a try.

Quickly fabricating a contract in the Consciousness Universe, Lu Lin materialized it in front of Hei Ming.

"Sign it."

Hei Ming’s face turned extremely ugly.

He glanced at his daughter, who was standing still for some reason, and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

This master-servant contract was something the ancestors of the Extraordinary Species had brought back from the Longyuan World back in the day.

Throughout the years, even among the Extraordinary Species, it was only something spoken of by elders, never truly seen.

Yet, the contract Lu Lin manifested before him was identical to the master-servant contract in Hei Ming’s memory.

Sign?

To become a lifelong servant, with no hope of overturning his fate.

Not to mention within the Alien Race, Hei Ming had always been second only to Hei Shark, far above countless others. To serve Lu Lin as a servant was excessively degrading.

Don’t sign?

Hei Ming felt Lu Lin’s large hand resting on his neck.

Not signing meant death.

Between losing freedom forever, or dying now, with Hei Ming’s nature, of course it would be... better to live wretchedly than die honorably.

"I’ll sign."

Hei Ming gritted his teeth and wrote his name on the contract book.

Immediately, the contract book emitted golden light, splitting into two parts: one entered Lu Lin’s Consciousness Universe, while the other melded into Hei Ming’s forehead.

Lu Lin felt the control the contract had over Hei Ming, then returned his God Core to Hei Ming.

After receiving it, Hei Ming quickly used his heart to feel his God Core, realizing Lu Lin hadn’t tampered with it.

After he returned his God Core into his body, Lu Lin continuously observed the changes on the contract.

There were no changes.

The contract still held absolute control over Hei Ming.

Lu Lin even felt that with just a thought, he could directly trigger the God Core to explode.

Although he didn’t understand the secrets of the God Core, he could still demolish it by force.

Reassured, Lu Lin released Hei Ming God Master’s neck, "Alright, from now on, continue doing what you need to do in this Exotic Battlefield, don’t let the contract affect you."

"Yes, I obey the Master’s command."

God Master Hei Ming folded his hands and bowed respectfully to Lu Lin.

However, Lu Lin’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch at how he was addressed.

"You’re joking, right? Tien Dayin and Tien Dalan call him Master. Although Lu Lin outwardly refuses, he doesn’t really mind much internally."

"Tou Meng calls him Master too, but the two only communicate through the contract and never address each other face-to-face, so it’s naturally not awkward."

"But isn’t it a bit unseemly for someone of your age, God Master Hei Ming, to be calling Lu Lin Master?"

"Alright, from now on, if you have important information, you can directly send a message to me through the contract."

"However, from now on, you are absolutely not allowed to kill another human. Do you hear me?"

"Rest assured, Master. I will certainly never oppose the Human Race again. From now on, the Human Race is my mother race, and the group I will serve, respect, and love for life."

Lu Lin found his words disgusting, feeling a bit nauseated, and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll be on my way then."

"Master!"

Seeing Lu Lin about to leave, Hei Ming immediately knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"Master, I have another idea. Among the Alliance of the Gods, I have a few God Master friends with whom I have a good relationship. Would you like to recruit them under your command too?"

Hmm?

Lu Lin was taken aback.

He didn’t expect that Hei Ming, who had just become his servant, would already be thinking so much about Lu Lin’s interests.

Of course, whether there are other motives behind it, Lu Lin doesn’t really care.

He only cares about the result.

"Who else are you quite familiar with?"

"Hei Chou, Hei Feng, Hei Si, and Hei Guang. These four God Masters and I are from the same era. Our relationship was quite good before we became God Masters."

"Among them, Hei Chou is the God Master of the Dark Silk Clan, Hei Feng is the God Master of the Yu Feng Clan, Hei Si is the God Master of the Mo Yan Clan, and Hei Guang is the God Master in the endless sea. He was born with a half-human, half-demon form, later discovered by the Black Shark, who bestowed upon him the God Core, making him a God Master."

"Oh?"

Lu Lin truly didn’t know these secrets. In his impression, he always thought that the so-called Ten Great Divine Lords, apart from the Black Shark, should all be masters within the Eight Great Clans. Unexpectedly, besides the Black Dragon, there are Hei Chou, Hei Si, and Hei Guang, who are not from the Great Races."

"Alright, but how are you planning to handle this?"

When Hei Ming heard Lu Lin’s question, he naturally knew that Lu Lin accepted his suggestion.

His mind raced, and he suddenly glanced at his chubby daughter Ning Si, causing Hei Ming’s eyes to light up.

Got it.

"Master, I might need my daughter’s assistance for this plan."

"Because the Black Dragon God Master fortunately died at your hands, the force he was in charge of has a large vacuum area. I plan to secretly expand by arranging a marriage alliance."

"Currently, Hei Yan, Hei Shu, and Hei Ying are teaming up and are determined to take over the forces left by the Black Dragon. The rest of us, being slightly weaker, have to forgo this opportunity."

"However, I can use my daughter’s situation to invite my good brothers over. As each arrives, you can control them one by one, Master."

"Moreover, I also plan to invite the four existing Star Generals from the Eight-Armed Clan over. Does that sound agreeable?"

Lu Lin nodded. This plan certainly has no issues.

Hei Ming is coming up with strategies for his Master. Even if there are problems, what of it? With strength, they can just proceed forcefully.

If Lu Lin had to face these four Star Generals directly, although he could defeat them, it would be challenging to eliminate them all.

With Hei Ming’s arrangement, he could handle the matter smoothly; however, Lu Lin also had one question.

"Hei Ming, about this, regarding Ning Si..."

"Master."

Hei Ming, filled with dread, knelt down on the ground, "If it pleases you, Master, I hope you would bestow upon my daughter a master-servant contract. If she can serve by your side for life, Ning Si will be overjoyed."

Hmm.

This is definitely true.

Lu Lin hadn’t forgotten. Just now, when he revealed his true appearance, the look in Ning Si’s eyes couldn’t be summed up with overwhelming adoration.

Even when Lu Lin was grabbing Hei Ming’s neck, Ning Si showed no abnormal reaction; her eyes were glued to him. It shows how powerful the name Lu Lin is to Ning Si.

Yet... as Lu Lin’s third maidservant, Ning Si is noticeably not up to the mark.

In terms of looks and figure, Lu Lin finds it hard to show off.

Surely he can’t introduce her as "This is my little maid" and not scare everyone, or at least arouse immense curiosity about Lu Lin’s aesthetics and preferences?

Nonetheless, the main concern takes precedence.

If taking in Ning Si as his third maidservant could earn Lu Lin the allegiance of four alien God Masters, that would be acceptable.

By now, Lu Lin had understood Hei Ming’s intentions.

So, he had been going around in circles, talking about this and that, all for his daughter.

"Okay, then I’ll grant Ning Si a master-servant contract later."

Lu Lin said, releasing Ning Si’s spiritual form from the Star Power Domain.

Honestly, he felt a bit overwhelmed by Ning Si’s terrifying alien nature.

Once in the Star Power Domain, without Lu Lin around, Ning Si looked into the distance with a pining expression, constantly calling Lu Lin’s name.

"Lu Lin, Lu Lin."

Those calls made Lu Lin’s heart waver with compassion.

Now that she’s released, Lu Lin stepped behind Hei Ming. This matter is best explained by Hei Ming to his daughter.

After taking a few steps away, Ning Si caught sight of Lu Lin’s silhouette and was overwhelmed with excitement.

"Lu Lin!"

She was about to rush towards Lu Lin, but as soon as she moved, Hei Ming held her back.

"Daughter, wait a moment."
