Chapter 217 The Princess's Contract of Indenture

"Hmm~"

With her vital point seized, Princess Leiqinliecheng couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

However, she did not do anything drastic again, but simply let Su Yan grab her vital points.

The plan to kill themselves and their opponent together failed.

She had actually expected this all along.

After all, the other party was a villain from the chess army, while he was just an ordinary person without even magic power.

It would be good enough to seize even the slightest chance to perish together with the opponent.

But when things actually failed, she couldn't help feeling utterly despondent.

Su Yan didn't pay much attention to Princess Leiqinliecheng and released her hand.

Then he shifted the sleeping position of Bai Xue, who was sleeping in his arms.

Without waking her, he let her head rest against his body and adjusted her sleeping position to be more comfortable.

After all, the two princesses in front of him, not to mention that one was the true heroine with whom he had a close relationship, the other was a true princess whose name did not even appear in the original work.

One person attempted to take himself down with him but failed, while the other, seeing himself being pushed off a cliff, jumped down without hesitation.

Isn't it only natural to treat people differently?

"Do you have anything to say?"

Su Yan looked at Princess Leiqinliecheng, who hadn't stood up since he released her, and asked.

"Gu, just kill me."

Princess Leichenlie pursed her lower lip, her face ashen, looking as if she was about to unlock a defeat CG.

"Is that all you wanted to say?"

Su Yan laughed, a hint of sarcasm in his smile, and said, "You pushed me off the cliff just now, trying to take me down with you. That's nothing."

"But that caused that silly girl Bai Xue to jump down without hesitation after seeing it, almost hurting her, which makes me very angry with you."

"Plus, I saved your life, so you owe me three lives, you know that?"

At this point, Su Yan paused, then reached out and gently lifted Princess Leiqinliecheng's chin.

He scrutinized the other person's handsome face and continued, "So tell me, what should I do with you now?"

Princess Leichen lowered her head.

She never expected that after she pushed the man in front of her off the cliff, he would jump off without hesitation.

He also felt incredibly guilty towards Bai Xue, this innocent girl.

However, when faced with Su Yan's question, she repeated the same answer as before: "Kill me."

"Kill you?"

Su Yan rolled his eyes at Princess Leiqinliecheng and said, "You owe me three lives now. Killing you would be too easy on you, wouldn't it?"

"Now you only have one choice: become my maid and dedicate the rest of your life, your everything, to me!"

As he spoke, Su Yan materialized a contract of servitude with equivalent exchange capabilities and handed it to the other party.

Although Su Yan considers himself to have principles and not to be a bad person in the strict sense.

Moreover, through the efforts of the women of Apocalypse, the ability to form contracts has transformed from a constraint and oath imposed solely on him into a constraint and oath imposed on him and all his contractors.

Therefore, the requirements for the contracting party have been relaxed.

But the woman in front of him had just gone to her death with him.

The other party wanted him dead, even if it was just a misunderstanding.

But Su Yan didn't think she was that cheap.

Even after all this, they still have the nerve to beg the other party to become their contractor, or to let the other party go as if nothing happened.

Kill her, kill her! But then again, it's a bit of a waste.

Moreover, after taking advantage of the other party just now, he was indeed aroused by some of his possessive desires as a man.

Therefore, Su Yan's only choice was to have her sign the same indenture as the former Upper Moon Six Plum.

Because I signed a temporary transaction agreement with Ms. Tamayo more than half a year ago.

However, because Lady Tamayo failed to fulfill her own request, she took it upon herself to seek death with Muzan.

As a result, the temporary transaction turned into a permanent one after the other party defaulted.

After her death, Greed Island enforced the terms of the transaction.

Transform the other party into a being similar to a bound spirit on Greed Island.

Su Yancai finally realized.

As the first Nen ability he awakened, the ability of equivalent exchange was not as simple as he had imagined.

Apart from Ms. Tamayo.

Traders like Mei and Lixia, who are completely their own, would die unexpectedly.

Then, like Miss Tamayo, her soul would be forcibly drawn back to Greed Island to be resurrected, becoming a kind of bound spirit, never to step out of Greed Island again.

The advantage is that I'm completely bound to him.

As long as Greed Island remains intact and Su Yan lives, traders who become earthbound spirits can continue to live in this form.

Furthermore, the Nen ability of contract is also related to equivalent exchange.

That is, if the contractor dies, Su Yan can revive the other party by consuming a large amount of mental energy.

After being resurrected, the other party will be downgraded to a trader whose ownership is held by Su Yan.

If you die again, you will become a bound spirit like Ms. Tamayo.

Of course, thanks to the amazing actions of the women in Apocalypse, Su Yan was able to choose to revive a contractor without consuming his psychic power after the contractor died.

In that case, the Greed Island reincarnation process would be triggered, directly turning one into someone like Ms. Tamayo who is unable to leave Greed Island.

Therefore, when Su Yan handed over the parchment of equivalent exchange, his words to Princess Leiqinliecheng about dedicating the rest of his life to her were not a lie.

In a sense, this parchment could indeed be considered a contract of servitude.

"I do not want."

Princess Leichenlie turned her head away.

Without even glancing at the contents of the parchment, he spoke with a stubborn expression.

"uh-huh."

Su Yan snorted and said, "Didn't I say you only have one choice?"

"Also, would you like to see what this is first?"

As he spoke, Su Yan took out an object about the size of a thumb from his pocket.

Princess Lechen exclaimed, "You're a knight-level member of the Chess Legion?"

That's right, the earring that Su Yan took out was the one he had obtained from Ganga, representing his identity as a knight of the chess legion.

It was simply because Su Yan didn't like wearing earrings, and also because she was preparing to come to Leiqin City to participate in the war game.

Therefore, I kept that earring hidden away.

"I doubt anyone would dare impersonate a knight of the chess legion, would they?"

Su Yan gave a definite answer: "So, I don't have to be an innocent and kind little girl like Bai Xue."

"If you don't agree to my request—"

Su Yan pondered for a moment, then revealed a sinister expression and said, "Alright, I'll spread the word that I plan to execute you."

"Um----"

"Then let's see who else in this city of Lechen is willing to risk their life to save you, Princess."

99

"How about I use this newly acquired Hero ARM to kill them all?"

"Perfect, let me test the power of this so-called Warrior ARM."

Of course, Su Yan's words were just to scare her.

After all, we still need to check on Little Sweetie's condition later.

At least for now, Little Sweetie is a higher priority in Su Yan's heart than Princess Leiqinliecheng.

Therefore, Su Yan didn't have much time to persuade her with reason and emotion.

The fastest way, of course, is to use coercion.

After expressing this idea, even Su Yan himself couldn't help but sigh that perhaps he really did have some talent for being a villain.

It was just that my moral bottom line held me back.

"You—you—"

Upon hearing this, Princess Leiqinliecheng looked at Su Yan in disbelief and said, "Are you a devil?"

A wave of sorrow washed over the blue-haired girl.

This country had already been conquered by the chess army and had almost lost all fighting power to resist them.

Now Su Yan has actually come up with such a vicious plan.

If the other side really does that, then this country will truly lose all hope.

"I understand, I promise you."

The instant the sound fell.

Princess Leichenliecheng seemed to have lost all her strength, her body felt as if her spine had been removed, and she collapsed limply to the ground.

Su Yan felt no sympathy for the woman in front of him, after all, she had just tried to take him down with her.

Moreover, once she becomes one of your own, you'll have someone to support her in the future.

It's better than being a powerless princess coerced by a chess army and constantly at risk of being killed, isn't it?

It's important to understand that the core of trading ability is equivalent exchange.

Before what happened to Miss Tamayo, Su Yan needed to balance the exchange of freedom as a condition for the other party's freedom.

But after that.

Su Yan felt that having such conditions only came at the cost of losing her freedom.

This is such a great deal!

Even if their positions were reversed, Su Yan would still find the terms of the trade reasonable.

Immediately, Su Yan handed the "contract of sale" to the other party again.

This time, Princess Lechen did not refuse.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at the parchment in her hand, forcing herself not to let them fall.

"I agree!"

Princess Leichenlie gritted her teeth and finally managed to utter those three words according to the contents of the parchment.

These three words were uttered.

A ball of white light pierced through his body and merged directly into Su Yan's body.

Princess Leichenlie could clearly sense it.

That was everything that belonged to her—her soul, her freedom.

She didn't know what level of Dark ARM could possibly perform such a terrible curse that might require the highest level of Divine ARM to lift.

However, even when she was still a princess of the kingdom, the city of Rachelle could not find the most powerful divine ARM.

Not to mention the fact that after the chess army captured Lechen, Lechen, he now has almost nothing left.

"very good."

Su Yan nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing that Princess Leiqinliecheng had become one of his own, his tone toward her was no longer as cold as before.

Su said gently, "Please take care of me from now on, Princess Nilu."

Princess of Rachelle, no, now that she's one of us, we should call her by her real name, Nil.

"Yes."

Princess Nel responded expressionlessly.

"So, are you going up by yourself first? Or wait for me to come back and we'll go up together? Or are you coming with me?"

As he spoke, Su Yan, holding Snow White in his arms, opened the gate to the Infinite City on the wall beside him.

He glanced at Princess Nel, but saw that she didn't react.

Perhaps we need to give the other party some time to accept reality?

Su Yan shrugged and carried the sleeping Bai Xue into the Infinite City.

Only after Su Yan's figure disappeared behind the door did Princess Nilu finally hold back her tears.

Large drops started sliding down from the corners of my eyes.

But she didn't cry out loud; she just stared blankly in the direction Su Yan disappeared, without following him.

Enter the Infinite City.

It wasn't pitch black inside as outsiders might imagine; instead, it was filled with bright lights.

Under the bright lights, a glass compartment the size of a gasoline drum stood out conspicuously.

The glass chamber was filled with a strange liquid that looked like nutrient solution.

In the middle of the liquid was the corpse of a man whose body was covered with metal tubes.

Anyone who has watched Demon Slayer will recognize that the corpse in the series belongs to the Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji.

No, calling it a corpse is a bit of a stretch.

Because the corpse in front of us is actually still alive in a physiological sense, but is only dead in a psychological sense.

Commonly known as brain death.

It was only after enduring countless experiments and tortures from Lady Tamayo that Muzan finally became the way he is now.

"Lord Su Yan."

Upon seeing Su Yan arrive, Zhu Shi immediately stopped what she was doing and turned around.

The gloomy aura that had been present while he was working in the Infinite City vanished instantly.

With a bright, sunny smile on her face, she bowed to Su Yan.

"Lord Su Yan."

Immediately, Reiko, who was acting as an assistant, also stood up.

Lingyu, somewhat rashly, bowed to Su Yan along with Miss Zhushi.

Su Yan waved his hand and said, "There's no need for such formalities between us."

"No, that's how it should be."

Tamayo shook her head and said softly, "After all, you brought me a new life and allowed me to take revenge and torture Muzan with my own hands."

"So no matter what the relationship is, I will always keep this in mind."

As she spoke, Zhu Shi noticed that Su Yan didn't seem to like hearing these words.

She then glanced at Snow White in Su Yan's arms and changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Lord Su Yan, what's going on?"

"I have some things to take care of right now, so could you please look after Bai Xue for a while?" Su Yan replied.

"Snow White? Is that the child's name?"

Tamayo was taken aback.

After all, the name Snow White might not exist in the real world, which is separate from the magical world.

But it is quite famous in other parts of the world.

Its popularity was so great that even the reclusive Miss Tamayo had heard of the fairy tale of Snow White.

However, she only paused for a moment before continuing, "Of course, not just these, but even more—"

"Okay, I understand."

Su Yan quickly interrupted her, because sometimes he was genuinely a little afraid of Miss Tamayo.

It wasn't that I was afraid of what she might do to me, but rather the enthusiasm she showed me.

It's like a fanatical believer facing their faith.

When the other party first became a bound spirit or something similar, it was fine; they weren't as enthusiastic as they are now.

It's unclear whether this is a side effect of being reincarnated on Greed Island, or a result of needing a new psychological support after seeking revenge against Muzan.

In short, it made Su Yan feel quite uncomfortable.

After handing the snow-white snowflakes in his arms to Miss Zhushi, Su Yan said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

"If Bai Xue wakes up later, please explain this to her for me."

After saying that, Su Yan touched his nose and left Miss Tamayo somewhat dejectedly.

Their target is Sweetie, who is trapped in another Infinite City space.

"She's such a lovely girl."

Tamayo smiled and didn't seem to care about Su Yan's departure.

He simply looked at Bai Xue in his arms and gave her a sunny smile.

However, Ling Yuzi, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but shudder at the sight.

After all, I was used to the cold expression on the other person's face when they were doing experiments.

Seeing such a smile on Ms. Tamayo's face suddenly gave her a chilling feeling.

If it weren't for the long-term exploitation by that scumbag boss Muzan, she would have been afraid of losing her own value.

She really wanted to ask Su Yan, the new boss, to transfer her from the position of Miss Zhushi's assistant.

Without him.

too frightening.

When I'm with Ms. Tamayo, I always have this feeling that I don't know when she'll send me to the operating table.

Even though I knew perfectly well that the other person wouldn't do that, I still couldn't help feeling scared.

the other side.

The room in Infinite City where Little Sweetie is imprisoned.

Unlike Ms. Tamayo's place, this space is truly pitch black.

As Su Yan arrived, the room was instantly illuminated by bright lights.

Little Sweetie slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of exhausted eyes.

Struggling to adjust to the sudden bright light, I looked in the direction of the person approaching.
