Facing the two elders' questioning, the Godfather generously admitted his identity as the baby's contracted spirit.
[Yes, this lord is the little kid's contracted spirit.]
But after Ainsley was killed, his contract with Ainsley was naturally terminated, and the baby also lost all her contracts with various monsters and beasts.
Including her sacred beasts.
Of course, the only reason why they still stayed with Ainsley was not because of their contract but because of their feelings about the baby.
Unfortunately, some relatively loose soul contracts with Ainsley were broken after the baby died, so people who wanted to betray Ainsley would still betray her.
Many people also realized this, but since they swore an oath to the baby, they had dedicated their lives and future to the baby.
Even if she were declared dead, if they didn't see her corpse with their own eyes, they wouldn't accept this fact lightly.
Ainsley lost a lot of people who didn't make a soul oath to her and some guild members, but she still had a lot of loyal subordinates who wouldn't leave her no matter what.
The baby was their savior, their belief and their light.
They would never abandon the baby just because she was declared dead in a live broadcast.
Even if the baby died, they had to see her corpse and bury her with their own hands.
The Godfather and the two elders didn't know that Ainsley's people were already chaotic because of this matter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAll they knew was that the contracts bound to Ainsley were lost, which means the baby did lose her life.
This is iron proof that they couldn't deny no matter what.
The only reason why her contracted monsters who weren't bound with a contract anymore didn't leave her was that they were trapped inside Ainsley's dimensional bracelet.
As for Zilla...she had a high IQ, unlike other monsters.
Thus, just like the three sacred beasts, she didn't rashly leave the master or betray her.
After all, Zilla's instinct as a monster with a noble bloodline was still there, and she believed that there wouldn't be anything good for leaving Ainsley.
After the two elders heard what the Godfather said, they pursed their lips and looked at the floating soul above the baby's corpse.
The corpse was still fresh and didn't decay at all because they used their ability to preserve the body.
However, the fact that the Godfather's contract with Ainsley was nullified means that the baby was really dead.
Even her soul was already out of her body...
Just when everyone was depressed, a crisp and childish voice suddenly sounded in their minds.
[Uh, hello, everyone....can you guys see me?]
Ainsley felt that it was time to show herself. She couldn't bear to see this strange scene and she didn't even want to see her own corpse.
Oh, oh, it was a terrifying thing to see your own corpse and soul, okay?!
The three people were taken aback, and they simultaneously turned their heads around— only to see nothing.
Of course, the two elders couldn't see Ainsley, but the Godfather could see the four-year-old baby with a dense spiritual body full of vibrant color.
She still retained her iconic bob-cut purple hair and her pair of blue eyes.
Who else is this, if not Ainsley?
The Godfather was too stunned to react, and for a while, his brain just crashed. The man stood in the air motionless as if he was dead.
Ainsley saw that the two elders couldn't see her, so she looked at the Godfather and found that he was also silent!
How could this be? They are fellow spirits. How can the Godfather not see her?!
Ainsley mustered her courage and floated in the air clumsily.
She carefully approached the young man and waved her tiny palm in front of the man's eyes.
[Hello, hello, Godfather? Are you there? Can you see me? You can, right?]
The Godfather was only stunned for a few seconds before he abruptly took the baby into his embrace and hugged her so tightly that he almost crushed her to death.
[Lil lass! Y-you...you became a spirit! Since when?! What are you feeling now? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere or something??]
The Godfather spoke as fast as bullets within one breath, instantly making the poor baby dizzy on the spot.
[G-godfather, let me go first. I can't breathe! I might die again!]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWell, spirits didn't need to breathe because they were technically ghosts, but Ainsley was still not used to her new state.
The Godfather was afraid that Ainsley would be hurt, so he hurriedly let go of the baby and sighed in relief.
[You scared this lord. This lord thought that you were gone entirely.]
It was a lie if he didn't feel heartbroken after Ainsley's death, but when he saw the baby as a spirit, he thought that he could still live well with the baby.
But maybe just in a different state than before.
Now that they're both spirits...it should be easier to get along?
And the Godfather could also touch the baby without having to materialize. This is quite a good thing.
At first, Ainsley was also heartbroken after knowing that she was completely dead, but after becoming a dead spirit, she was a bit comforted.
It's okay. At least she didn't die completely and returned as a wandering ghost....
The two people reunited and hugged each other a few times, directly ignoring Zev, who had been waiting for Ainsley's hug.
Seeing that the master and disciple pair was about to reminisce again and talk bullsh*t, Zev immediately stood between them and pushed the two people apart.
He was ruthless and was determined to separate the two!
