Before Zhao Guang could speak, Xi Fei next to him said, "Master, why not let Huan Wu stay? It would be easier to control the Butterfly People with her around." Zhao Guang looked at Xi Fei with curiosity, wondering what she was up to.

He already had plenty of women around him, constantly competing for time with him at night.

The reason was simple: since Alya became pregnant, they all wanted to conceive as well.

Adding another would only mean dividing the time even further.

However, Huan Wu was undeniably beautiful, rivaling Alya, a member of the Elf Royal Family. And naturally, as a Butterfly Person, she exuded a special allure, adding to her charm.

If she unleashed all her allure, even Xi Fei might not compare.

Zhao Guang couldn't refuse directly. After all, controlling the Butterfly People indeed required some means.

This involved two hundred thousand individuals, and not the weak Rabbitfolk. Seeing the expressions of these Butterfly People, many were proud and defiant, suggesting that total suppression would not be easy in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhao Guang nodded: "Alright, let Huan Wu stay, and relocate the others to the North."

The North, the main region of the Xuanwu Kingdom, was still sparsely populated and had plenty of space for the Butterfly People to reside.

After all, these people were not meat eaters; they could cultivate special plants. Unlike butterflies that feed on nectar, they could even brew a unique nectar with significant utility.

Giving them land to cultivate could yield a lot just from the products.

Zhao Guang's words immediately changed the eyes of some Butterfly People.

But at this moment, Xi Fei released her aura. Though just for an instant, all the Butterfly People's faces turned deathly pale, because that power was something they couldn't contend with.

Huan Wu looked anxious: "Please do not harm them, I am willing to obey any of your commands."

Xi Fei retracted her aura as swiftly as she released it, then turned to Aleya. "Then it's up to you, Aleya, to guide them. Make sure she gets used to our environment here swiftly."

Aleya nodded: "Rest assured, I'll make sure she behaves."

Aleya, being a Foxman, made Huan Wu feel a pang of desolation at the thought of being taught by one. But for the sake of two hundred thousand of her people, as royalty, Huan Wu forced herself to stay strong.

Others were then relocated to different parts of the Northern Empire.

Even though arrangements for these Butterfly People had to be made, Zhao Guang would not leave any corner unguarded.

There's no need for a contract, or rather, he didn't need to control everyone with a contract, but controlling some leaders and powerful ones was necessary. Also, he couldn't let them all gather in one place.

Two hundred thousand is truly a lot, and if all were gathered together, who knows when trouble might arise.

Although Zhao Guang wasn't afraid, a suppression could mean heavy casualties. Truly subduing them later would be more challenging, not to mention a reduction in their numbers would be a loss.

Once everyone departed, Zhao Guang finally asked.

"Xi Fei, why keep Huan Wu when a contract could easily solve the issue?"

Zhao Guang possessed a High-Level contract; controlling Huan Wu was possible even if she were at the Legendary Level.

In fact, direct control might be more useful than taking them away. He wasn't the kind of person who took women home just because they were beautiful; such behavior would leave a certain impression.

Even now, women constantly hovered around him.

It was known they were sent by various factions.

Xi Fei smiled and said, "Master, don't you think it's possible to sign a Soul Contract with Huan Wu?"

Signing a Soul Contract would ensure absolute loyalty, with no fear of betrayal or issues. Most importantly, it could quickly help cultivate an individual, making them quite powerful.

Although Huan Wu was of the Butterfly Clan and essentially a Magic User, she excelled in the Illusion Technique.

While not as proficient in the Priestly Arts as Jeana, she could be of significant help with illusions.

Indeed, Butterfly People's illusions aren't all within the Spiritual System; many belong to other branches of the Magic System, so their growth capacity isn't an issue. Once a contract is signed, they'd have a very reliable ally.

Zhao Guang shook his head, "In that case, let's give it a shot."

Zhao Guang wasn't optimistic; the conditions for a Soul Contract were too harsh.

Even though Huan Wu had lost her freedom and was technically Zhao Guang's property, her previous behavior showed she valued her people a lot.

With such a disposition, abandoning everything to sign a Soul Contract seemed highly unlikely.

Even Aleya, who had been betrayed by the Beastman Empire, couldn't do so.

Anyone who still has wealth in their heart finds it hard to agree to a Soul Contract.

Specifically, it's usually those who have lost everything, at the edge of collapse, without any obsessions who can sign such a contract. That's why typically only young Magic Beasts could sign Soul Contracts.

Back when Sephidya was still in her egg, signing the contract was extremely troublesome.

"Rest assured, leave it to me; I'll ensure she signs the contract," Xi Fei said with a charming smile as she turned to leave.

Zhao Guang shook his head; it was best to focus on enhancing his power. He hadn't been idle after his breakthrough; his research continued unabated.

After breaking through, his research pace quickened, but the depth of his research meant the results weren't immediately apparent.

However, now things were different. After all this research, Zhao Guang's new ability was complete.

Death Frost, a Divine Skill Level power, was something he nearly figured out.

Unlike the previous person's focus on Death Power with Frost as a manifestation, Zhao Guang's Death Frost prioritized Frost Power, with attacks centered on powerful Frost.

Death Power, in this case, was a special effect drawn through Frost Power.

This might be a primary approach as using Death Power as a main could suggest connections with the Grim Reaper Believers.

As for the Divines, Zhao Guang preferred not to get involved with them if possible; besides, Frost Power was easier to control.
