Did Neela have clothes?
Neela looked down at her body. She showed no emotion in her eyes and face.
âShame?â
âSorry! Thatâs impossible!â she thought.
The human form was not how Benares Dragons looked like in their final form. Moreover, with the way
the dragon tribe looked at this matter, natural beauty trumped all else. Being exposed was the nature of
the dragons. Besides, Alex Rockefeller and the Benares Dragons were linked together by fate. Never
mind being naked for Alex, Neela would be willing to cut out her flesh for him to feast on if that were
what he wanted.
âNo!â Neela yelled while shaking her head. She reached for one of the steel chains and pulled it out
forcefully.
âWhy did you put these chains on?â Alex asked.
âThese are for sealing my body up. Even as one of the Benares Dragons, I canât sustain myself after
staying in Soul Refining Tower for so long. Besides, I had to spend three thousand years in this place!
The only way I can thoroughly enter the sealed state is with these seven fairy chains,â Neela explained.
While speaking, Neela pulled out all seven of the chains from her body. A pool of golden blood had also
accumulated on the ground. Neela gently lifted her hand and gathered all the blood on the ground. The
blood dangled in front of her like a giant ball, and Neela slowly delivered it over to Alex. âMy lord, from
my observation of your aura, your current level of cultivation still isnât very high. This pool of blood
contains my natal blood essence. Also, I have been storing energy from the Soul Refining Tower for the
past three thousand years. If you eat it, itâll benefit you greatly. Meanwhile, we can also form a life
contract. From then on, Iâll be your maid and always accompany you,â she said.
âHuh?â Alex sounded a little jittery.
Mainly, it was because he still didnât trust Neelaâs identity completely. Could this life contract come with
some hidden conditions?
However, Neela waved her hand, and the ball of golden liquid directly entered Alexâs mouth. He
couldnât even fight back In fact, before he could react, the blood passed through his throat. After that, it
even seeped into the rest of his body.
âYou⦠Why did youâ¦.â Alex was shocked. He wanted to force the blood out of his body.
However, it was too late. The golden dragon blood didnât go through his digestive system after entering
his body. Instead, it entered his blood circulation directly through his veins and fused with his own
blood. In an instant, Alex sensed the immense energy of the golden blood. After vibrating gently, his
golden core that had been strengthened by the twelve runes of the ancient forbidden spell naturally
absorbed the energy from the dragon blood.
Buzz⦠The energy vibrated.
Alex immediately felt as if his blood was coming to a boil. After that, it was almost as though he
possessed an endless amount of energy. His physical body was going through reincarnation of sorts
that he had never experienced before.
âDragon blood!â Alex thought.
His body too suddenly had the attribute of dragon blood.
Alex could sense that his capabilities had been enhanced greatly after fusing with the dragon blood.
Logically speaking, he should have induced a lightning tribulation and ascended to Nascent Soul rank
after his golden core made a breakthrough.
âOh, I get it! It must be because of Soul Refining Tower. I need to leave Soul Refining Tower to induce
Nascent Soulâs lightning tribulation!â Just as Alex thought about this, he felt a new sensation.
âLife contract.â
A brand appeared near his heart.
This was a soul imprint that existed in Neelaâs blood essence. Alex could even detect Neelaâs location,
status, and what she was doing and thinking through this brand. The two seemed to be connected on
the spiritual level.
However, this seemed to work in a single direction. Alex could sense Neela through the brand, but she
couldnât do the same unless Alex took the initiative to connect with her using the brand.
âMy lord, do you have any other questions?â Neela looked at Alex and asked.
âOh⦠Nothing else,â Alex said.
Previously, Alex was worried that Neela might secretly try to harm him. But now that the life contract
had been established, Alex understood the more profound meaning within.
Naturally, he didnât have any issues with it. However, something did come to his mind.
He was here to pass the Soul Refining Towerâs challenge.
