He had kind of wanted to see more of its bargaining and acting cute.
Just as that thought passed through his mind, he heard Yao Heng's next question.
Xiao Shou froze.
Then he suddenly remembered.
He had shared half of Yao Heng's lifespan with it.
Without the worry of reaching lifespan limits or the need to sever connections before ascending or breaking through, it was technically fine not to cut the link.
However, Xiao Shou still recalled something from the original story.
Xiao Ran once encountered a strange small world.
In that world, spiritual energy could not be used, and all power had to be obtained by sacrificing one's own lifespan to exchange strength from the world's deity.
As a result, when she managed to break out, her lifespan had been severely depleted.
Because of that, she had no choice but to form a contract with a long-lived divine beast that had almost no combat power, sharing its lifespan.
