Chapter 74: Chapter 74: The Duke’s Heir VS The Underdog Female Supporting Character (Part 14)
Gu Shengyin knew how brutal the guy with the identity of the Demon King could be, although she found it strange that he didn’t directly demand her soul but instead wanted to sign a contract with her.
Seeing Gu Shengyin agree, the Demon King was very pleased. He beckoned her, “Come here.”
Gu Shengyin walked forward.
The Demon King extended his illusory hand and placed it in front of Gu Shengyin’s forehead, his mouth chanting mystical Runes.
A stream of black mist followed the Curse Incantation, emerging from the space between the Demon King and slowly entwining around Gu Shengyin.
To her surprise, Gu Shengyin discovered that the discomfort she had imagined did not occur. She remembered that in the plot, when Eve Heather signed the master-servant contract with the Demon King, it was extremely painful.
System: “Of course you wouldn’t feel pain, you two just signed a Symbiotic Contract.”
Gu Shengyin: “Oh~ so that’s it… Wait, what did you just say?”
A Symbiotic Contract? Now Gu Shengyin was truly astonished. A Symbiotic Contract in this world was not to be taken lightly, just like its name suggests, symbiotic. Once a Symbiotic Contract is signed, both parties are bound together; if one lives, the other lives, if one dies, the other dies.
Could it be that the Demon King recited the wrong incantation?
The Demon King looked amusingly at the girl, who was gazing at him with a serious face and a puzzled expression.
“Why?” Gu Shengyin asked, “Why would you sign a Symbiotic Contract with me?”
She didn’t believe the Demon King was suddenly overcome with compassion.
The Demon King propped up his chin, “Maybe because you’re too good-looking, and I fell in love with you at first sight.”
Gu Shengyin’s response was to give him an eye roll.
“Take this!” A necklace flew into Gu Shengyin’s bosom. The pendant was a piece of dark black diamond-shaped crystal, and the chain’s material was unknown, shining with star-like fine glimmers.
“My Spiritual Body is now residing in this necklace, you must take good care of it.”
Without his saying, Gu Shengyin would take good care of it anyway, after all, their lives were now interconnected, and she still needed to cherish her own life to find her lover in the future.
The Demon King’s next action once again shattered Gu Shengyin’s understanding.
“Looking for the Spring of Life?”
The Demon King nodded frankly, “My physical body has long been burned to ashes, and now only my Divine Soul is trapped in the Shin-kwang Chain, naturally requiring the Spring of Life to nourish the Spiritual Body and reshape a new form.”
Gu Shengyin was astonished again, “System, wasn’t the Demon King supposed to quickly regain his strength by devouring the souls of living people? How come he has now started taking a gentler approach?”
System: There are too many inconsistencies in this world, the problem is that it can’t find any reason at all!
Seeing the System remain silent, Gu Shengyin understood: it meant that the System didn’t have an answer for her at the moment.
However, regardless, this was, after all, good news for Gu Shengyin.
If the Demon King “turned over a new leaf,” wouldn’t her future as a Contractor of the Symbiotic Contract have much less trouble?
When Eve woke up, she was dazzled by the sight in front of her.
She had never seen such a bright and beautiful room, nor had she ever slept in such a soft, fragrant bed.
The pain in her thighs told her this was not a dream.
Instinctively, she reached for the necklace on her neck. Unexpectedly, it was vacant.
Eve panicked instantly, struggling to get up.
“Miss, you’re awake? Is there anything I can help you with?” The maid who came in at the sound was startled to see Eve .
