Chen Xiaojun's expression suddenly turned serious. He gazed at Xiao Yi and, rarely formal, said, "Xiao Yi, do you still remember when we were in the mountains, I said I'd give you a surprise?"
Xiao Yi's eyes sparkled at his words. She nodded like a chick pecking rice, her voice soft and sweet, filled with amorous feeling. "Mm-hmm, I remember. What kind of surprise is it?"

Xiao Yi leaned closer for a look. On the card was drawn a pair of hands clasped tightly together, and in the very center of the card, a large golden character had been stamped.
Almost unconsciously, she read that word aloud—"Contract!"
Chen Xiaojun explained, "Yes, 'contract,' a pact! On the Douluo Continent, this two-person contract means a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
"Con...tract?" Xiao Yi murmured softly, starlight gleaming in her eyes.
A blazing rush of emotion welled up in Xiao Yi's heart.
She had once envied Zhu Wuneng and Gao Cuilan's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, that feeling of sharing hearts with the one you loved and standing shoulder to shoulder. How wonderful would that be!
She had never expected
