Rebellious Contract Beast

For a real beauty, Wu Han naturally would not treat her the same way he treated other young women before.

By the time Wu Han is this age, he has seen many things he should have seen, played many games he should have played, and has long been bored with them.

Rather than forcing the young women to purify themselves, he would rather proceed step by step and let those pretty ladies be conquered by him little by little. Only this way would be more interesting.

Therefore, he was very patient with Tsurumi Hatsuun and was not in a hurry to enter the stage he wanted most so quickly.

Wu Han thought this in his mind, glanced at the chessboard, took out a black piece and placed it on the board.

Seeing his move, He Jian Chuyun almost didn't hesitate and immediately placed a white piece. At the same time, he glanced at Wu Han coldly and complained to Shen Yi in his heart: "Xuan Li, this old man's chess skills are so... so bad..."

"Ah?" Shen Yi was a little stunned. He knew how to play Go, but he was still at the semi-novice stage. He was not proficient and could not see what was wrong with the moves made by that old bastard Wu Han.

At this time, the two people on both sides of the table had fallen silent, focusing all their attention on the chessboard.

Wu Han gave birth to a son, and He Jian Chu Yun also gave birth to a son.

The difference is that Wu Han would think for a second or two every time he made a move, while He Jian Chuyun made his moves extremely quickly without any thought or hesitation.

As time passed, Wu Han spent longer and longer thinking before making his moves. His eyebrows were twisted together on his old face, and deep lines appeared on his forehead.

The arrangement of black and white chess pieces on the chessboard has become tense, as if two armies are fighting on a battlefield. The slightest mistake will result in a crushing defeat.

Not knowing which step he had reached, Wu Han held the black piece in his right hand, seemingly unsure where the piece should fall.

Finally, he glanced at Tsurumi Hatsuun and made a decision in his heart. He no longer chose to let the black piece continue to move upwards, but instead placed the piece on the left side of the black piece at the end, hoping to use it to counter-attack the white pieces on the left side.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the chess piece fell, He Jianchuyun raised the corner of his mouth, raised his hand and put it down, and a white chess piece fell alone in the middle of the two piles of white chess pieces, forming two steamer rooms, completely blocking the way of the black chess pieces. At this time, the black chess piece wanted to move up again, but because of this extra step, it had already lost the initiative.

If Black insists on moving upward, the result will only be that all his energy will be blocked by the white pieces, and he will lose the whole game.

Wu Han was stunned. He obviously realized that he had been tricked by He Jianchuyun, but wouldn't it be too undignified to regret it now?

There is no need to continue, the winner has been decided!
Putting down the black chess piece in his hand, Wu Han began to doubt his life. He usually played chess with the guards beside him and never lost. How come he lost to a little liar girl today?
He looked at the chessboard, then at Tsurumi Hatsuun's face, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

And He Jian Hatsuyun smiled coldly and said, "Sir, you lose."

"It's just a game of chess. If you lose, you lose. I didn't expect that you are such a good chess player."

"You are too kind, sir." He Jianchuyun responded with a smile, but in his heart he was complaining: "You are such a bad chess player, why don't you come out and embarrass yourself, old man!"

Shen Yi was in the consciousness space, and he could hear her inner voice. After listening, he said immediately: "Old witch, you are so hypocritical!"

"How am I being hypocritical? This old man's chess skills are so bad that no one can admire him. He even has the nerve to pretend to be so great!"

"Hehehe~" Shen Yi was a little happy. It was really interesting to see this old witch cursing in her heart.

"Sir, are you coming again?"

"No, no." Wu Han waved his hands quickly. He thought He Jianchuyun's way of playing chess was a little weird. Wu Han didn't know what her level was. But if he lost again, he would lose face.

"I heard that you danced very well on stage. Besides dancing, can you play the piano or other music?"

"Know a little bit."

"Then play a piece of music, and let me hear how you play."

"Yes." He Jianchuyun couldn't refuse, so he nodded and asked, "Can I borrow the zither here?"

"Use it."

After getting the consent, He Jianchuyun stepped back from the curtain, straightened his clothes, and sat behind the guqin.

Wu Han also stood up, pulled open the curtain, poured the wine, and waited quietly facing her.

After a series of ding-dong sounds, He Jianchuyun tried two notes and felt it was pretty good, so he nodded slightly to Wu Han and began to play formally.

ding~~~
The old witch was extremely confident in her piano playing, which was one of her strengths. The moment the strings were plucked, the night was like a calm lake, with ripples suddenly forming, or like a clear spring flowing in a mountain stream, delicate and long, or like turning a page of poetry, with beautiful words echoing in the night sky.

The sparse stars in the night sky flickered in brightness, as if whispering something, gentle and distant.

The unique melody made Wu Han pause for a moment. After taking a sip of wine, he closed his eyes involuntarily, quietly feeling the artistic conception of the piano sound.

It is like being in a warm and quiet courtyard, with lush leaves blocking the sunlight from the sky, and you can sit under a tree alone to enjoy the coolness.

The long street outside the courtyard was bustling with people coming and going, but his own small courtyard was isolated from the world and had nothing to do with the noisy human world.

There is a sense of melancholy, a sense of leisure, and also a sense of loneliness, but I enjoy it all.

The sound of the piano is so beautiful that it makes people enjoy a life that does not belong to their own at all. However, if there is a disadvantage, it is that it is a bit monotonous with only the sound of the piano.

Moreover, this song is very short, and it ends in less than half an incense stick of time.

After the song, Wu Han felt a little unsatisfied. He often went to those romantic places and heard a lot of different kinds of songs, but he had never heard the song that He Jian Chu Yun played today. So he asked, "This is the first time I've heard this song. Who wrote it? Or did you create it yourself?"

"How could a young woman like me have such talent? This piece of music is called Drunken Flower Sound. I learned it from a relative of mine. The source is unknown."

"I see~" Wu Han nodded and looked at He Jian Chu Yun. This woman was not only extremely beautiful, but also had such a high level of musical skill. It really made people more and more surprised.

"Just now you said your name is Zhuang Luan?"

"Yes sir."

"Well, how old were you when you sold yourself?"

"Your Excellency, I was twelve years old at that time."

"Year old?"

"Sixteen years old." He Jian Chuyun replied. Hearing her say that she was sixteen, Shen Yi in his consciousness space couldn't help but twist his mouth and muttered to her: "Sixteen years old, you have been sixteen all your life. You are almost eighteen, and you still say you are sixteen."

“Isn’t this the same thing?”

"Okay, okay, whatever you want." Shen Yi shook his head. The old witch has now reached the Pure Level of cultivation. Her lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary people. After she turned fifteen, she has officially entered the slow aging stage. From the day he first saw her until now, her appearance has not changed.

Outside the consciousness space, the conversation between the two continued.

"Four years, it seems you've suffered a lot." "Hmm..."

"How about this? You will stay by my side from now on. You don't have to do anything. You just need to play the piano and compose music every day. I will ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. How do you think?"

"Sir, are you serious about this?"

"Hmph, they say a gentleman's word is as good as his bond. Although I am not a gentleman, I never lie when I say something. From today on, you will be by my side. Are you willing?"

"I do." He Jianchuyun nodded quickly, pretending to be very happy.

Wu Han nodded with satisfaction after hearing her answer. He Jian Chu Yun took the opportunity to ask, "Um... Sir, where do you live?"

"I live in an inn called Wangxiating."

The post house is a place for officials who go to other places for official business to live in. However, since Wu Han is a member of the Wu family in Jiangzhou, it is not strange for him to live in the post house.

Tsurumi Hatsuun blinked, and a puzzled look appeared on his face at the right time: "Why does the master live in that place?"

"I came to Jiangzhou City to visit a friend and will stay in the post house temporarily."

"So you are not from Jiangzhou City, sir. Where are you from?"

"Bi Lingxu, have you ever heard of it?"

"No." He Jian Chuyun shook his head. Famous families in the state like the Wu family, which have a Xuan-level Venerable in charge, are almost out of touch with the secular world. Generally speaking, it is difficult for ordinary people to meet the children of these prominent families. Their family headquarters will not be located in the city like the He Jian family, or the Zhu family and Xu family, and then let the family members bully the people.

Most of them are like those sects, where they establish their families in places that are rarely visited or have rich spiritual energy, and are surrounded by formations for protection.

As for how to solve the expenses required for family operations? After all, if you want the family to have successors, resources such as elixirs are indispensable.

The solution is also very simple, which is to ask for it from the lower-level families.

Just like the Tiger Gang, a large portion of their earnings had to be given to the Zhu family, and similarly the Zhu family had to give a portion of their earnings to the Wu family or the Lin family.

"You'll know once you get there. It's thirty miles south of Luzhu Town. Although the journey is long, my accompanying coachman is very skilled in driving, so it will only take three or four days to get to Bilingxu."

"Well, I guess you have been in Jiangzhou City for quite some time, right?"

"Yeah, it seems like it's been almost a month now. I was supposed to be here for only two days before I had to go back."

"Why did you stay so long, sir?"

"Of course I couldn't refuse the Xu family's kindness, so I had to stay. Humph, they understand me well. They know that I have no children, yet they still sent one to me. Forget it, let's not talk about this..." Wu Han suddenly avoided the question. Shen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly. He guessed that this old bastard must have some problems in that aspect.

In this world, women at the bottom of society have almost no human rights to men in the upper class. They can be taken away and disposed of at will, or taken away and thrown away.

And since Wu Han is a member of the Wu family and has two guards with high-level cultivation by his side, how could he be short of women?

The fact that he has no offspring either means he doesn't want them or he is infertile, but the former can now be ruled out, leaving only the latter possibility.

"Uh-huh."

"If someone shows kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. I know this truth very well. The Xu family is trying to please me, which makes me curious about what they are up to. That's why they stayed in Jiangzhou City for such a long time."

"Sir, do you have any guesses about the Xu family's intentions?"

"Are you curious too?"

"Yes sir."

"I have no idea about this, but no matter what the Xu family wants to do, they will never have the guts to harm me. It's better to see what kind of show the Xu family puts on."

"Um, sir, are you satisfied with Jiangzhou City..." He Jianchuyun was about to continue asking indirectly, but before he could finish his words, the bell on the door suddenly rang.

This is equivalent to a doorbell. If it rings, it means someone is knocking on the door.

The two looked towards the door at the same time, and soon heard Wu Han say to the door: "If you have anything to say, let my guards speak. You are not allowed to come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of the bell stopped abruptly and there was no movement outside the door.

After about three seconds, for some reason, Wu Han obviously tensed up his body and looked suddenly at He Jian Chu Yun.

When she saw Wu Han's abnormality, she immediately became alert.

It should be the guard outside the door who said something to Wu Han through the air.

She didn't know the content, but it was definitely not in her favor.

Facing Wu Han's vigilant gaze, He Jian Chu Yun pretended to know nothing and asked in a relaxed manner, "What's wrong, sir?"

"Nothing, it's just that the guard encountered some problems and wanted to talk to me." Wu Han's expression quickly returned to normal. He waved his hand at her and said this. After that, he said to the outside of the door: "Open the door."

There was a sound of a mechanism operating from inside the door, and with a "click", the heavy door, which was almost as thick as someone's palm, was unlocked.

As soon as the door opened, He Jian Chu Yun and Shen Yi heard a sentence at the first moment: "Let me see if it's her!"

The voice was very familiar, it was clearly Zhu Birong's voice.

Hearing this voice, He Jian Chu Yun suddenly lost his composure. He picked up his shoes and flashed to the window. Then, relying on the flexibility of his body, he nimbly flipped over the windowsill. Then, a green light appeared all over his body, and he jumped down without thinking.

"Wait!" Wu Han wanted to stop her, but as soon as he said these two words, He Jian Chu Yun disappeared.

The first person who came in after the door was completely opened was Zhu Birong. However, her face was a little red and swollen, and there was an obvious slap mark on the right side of her cheek. It was obvious that she had been beaten, and not just once.

"Stop! It's her!"

"He..." She wanted to call out He Jianchuyun's name, but before she could say half a word, her mouth was sealed by spiritual power. When she turned her head, she saw a member of the Xu family looking at her coldly.

Zhu Birong finally realized something. When the spiritual power that sealed her mouth was gone, she shouted, "It's her! I didn't make a mistake!"

"who is she?"

"That's the assassin. I know her!"
