Hearing this answer, Xiao Zhan already had a prediction in his heart.
"What about Northern City? How are things now?"
"The Northern City is fine now, the Demon Beast tide has receded, and the Seven-Colored Giant Python did not attack Northern City; instead, it entered the depths of the Northern Snow Domain."
"The power of the Seven-Colored Giant Python is infinitely close to Eighth Grade. At this critical moment, it wouldn’t seek trouble on its own; it definitely went to breakthrough," analyzed Xiao Zhan.
Ye Youlong had also guessed this.
"I asked Liu Xin, and she said that the Seven-Colored Giant Python needs to stay dormant for a long time to break through to Eighth Grade, enough time for us to catch our breath."
Xiao Zhan breathed a sigh of relief.
With Ye Wudi’s sacrifice, Northern City lacks top combat power. If the Seven-Colored Giant Python attacked at this time, then Northern City would definitely not be able to withstand it.
"How are you? Are you okay?" Only then did Xiao Zhan concernedly ask about Ye Youlong’s injuries.
Ye Youlong shook his head, "I’m fine."
"Mm." Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Xiao Zhan nodded, glad that Ye Youlong was fine.
"You rest for a while. Your arm is severely injured and you can’t make big movements for a while," Ye Youlong added.
Xiao Zhan looked at his own arm and tested lifting it slightly, immediately feeling a stabbing pain.
The meridians were torn, but luckily a powerful Healer from the Mulan Guild was present; otherwise, Xiao Zhan really would need a long time to recover.
"It doesn’t matter, now that I have a wife, I won’t need to use my hands," jested Xiao Zhan.
Ye Youlong gave him a cold look, always liking to talk dirty at odd times.
"You rest first, I need to go out for a while."
Ye Youlong left the room.
Xiao Zhan lay down again, the smile on his face disappeared, turning somewhat grim.
In their previous conversation, neither of them brought up renewing the Contract. It was unknown if both had forgotten, or if they each had their own thoughts.
Xiao Zhan wasn’t sure about Ye Youlong, but he himself had ideas.
Contract termination is a rare opportunity; he would not have to suffer from Death Erosion, and Ye Youlong would not have to die with him. They could live like a normal couple.
But can such a life continue peacefully?
Xiao Zhan closed his eyes as sleepiness once again overtook him.
Elsewhere, after Ye Youlong left the room, her face also appeared somewhat despondent, as if troubled by something.
Hesitating for a second, she turned towards a room. This room has a secret door leading directly to the depths underground, the secret dungeon of Xiao Mansion.
Upon entering the dungeon, a cat’s meow echoed.
It was Bai Di waiting there.
Ye Youlong glanced at it, ignoring it, and walked straight to the deeper parts of the dungeon.
Bai Di twisted its four short legs and followed with its cat gait.
The cells were made of hard materials and could also weaken energy. Those imprisoned in these cells were like given slow poison; as long as they didn’t leave, all energy inside them would be drained eventually, turning them into ordinary people.
Ye Youlong came to the deepest cell, opened the door, and inside a person was fully restrained.
Hearing the noise, the person raised his head, looked at Ye Youlong, and revealed a mad grin.
"Coming to see me alone, where’s your man? Do you want to have a fierce fun with me?"
This person was Long Hai.
Bai Di had brought him back alive.
Ye Youlong ignored his filthy words, her expression indifferent, her beautiful eyes just watching him.
But thoughts swirled deep in her eyes, as if pondering something.
Seeing this, Long Hai continued to be frenzied, his expression obscene, and the words spewing from his mouth grew increasingly filthy.
Seemingly trying to attack Ye Youlong with this.
After all, what he could use now was only his mouth.
However, Ye Youlong was clearly unbothered by it, simply standing in front of him, watching his clownish performance.
Long Hai was tired, he suddenly quieted down.
"What on earth do you want?"
"I’m considering whether to kill you or not," Ye Youlong finally replied.
Long Hai continued to ask, "So are you going to kill me or not?"
"I haven’t decided yet."
"If you haven’t decided then just you wait, one day, I’ll pin you down to the ground and rub you hard!"
A white figure flashed in front of Long Hai, and he felt a heavy strike on his face, his head spinning.
The white figure landed, leaving three wounds on Long Hai’s face at the same time.
Lord Bai barred his teeth, issuing a warning.
If he dared to insult its mistress again, it would not be polite.
Long Hai sneered, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, "Beast."
He opened his mouth wanting to continue mocking Ye Youlong, but Ye Youlong turned around and left the room directly.
Long Hai immediately shouted behind her, "If you don’t let me sleep, arrange other women for me to sleep, without women, I will die!"
Ye Youlong couldn’t hear his voice.
Lord Bai tilted its head at her feet, seemingly asking, why not just kill him?
Ye Youlong walked straight ahead, her expression silent, no reply, but the flowing light deep in her eyes showed that her mood was not so firm right now.
Xiao Zhan’s injuries had greatly improved.
Liu Xin carried a specially made potion, coming to deliver the medicine.
"In two days, your injuries have healed a lot."
Xiao Zhan took the medicine and drank it in one gulp, "I have to thank you for that, without you, I wouldn’t have recovered so quickly."
Liu Xin smiled, "I’m talking about the erosion of the Death Aura."
Xiao Zhan immediately fell silent.
Liu Xin continued, "Although it’s only been two days, during these days, your Life Force has recovered a lot, much more powerful than the effects of those Spirit Fruits you ate before. If you can keep this up, within two years, your body will fully recover."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan wasn’t very pleased.
Because, compared to the recovery of Life Force, he much preferred to make a Contract with Ye Youlong.
But, once a Contract is made...
Xiao Zhan couldn’t help but sigh deeply, this tough decision wasn’t easy if it wasn’t tough.
"Stop sighing, I’ll tell you a method." Liu Xin seemed to know what Xiao Zhan was thinking, suddenly leaned in close to Xiao Zhan, her eyes sparkling as she spoke.
Xiao Zhan moved back a bit.
This distance seemed a bit ambiguous.
Liu Xin didn’t mind, and said, "Su Mulan’s talent is to remove Contract restrictions, you let her use it on you and Ye Youlong, then the two of you sign an equal Contract, during combat there is a Contract, and it’s removed when not in combat, this way you aren’t restricted by Death Erosion."
"No, I can’t say unaffected, but the impact is definitely smaller, and as long as you manage it well, living another ten or eight years shouldn’t be a problem."
