Forming the Contract

Seeing that Jiang Zhiying was lost in thought, Li Yao called out, "Ms. Jiang?"

Jiang Zhiying was a little confused. "Huh?"

Give me your hand.

Jiang Zhiying instinctively reached out her hand, while Li Yao pulled out a fountain pen from his coat, removed the cap, and shook it—this could be considered one of Li Yao's little innovations. The fountain pen contained Magic Potion Magic Potion, which should normally be stored in Magic Quill, but quivers are difficult to use.

and,

Can you imagine a man pulling a hair out of his clothes?

Li Yao took Jiang Zhiying's hand and meticulously traced lines on her palm. The cold metal tip of the pen moved across her hand, and a tingling sensation gradually spread through her heart.

Feel...

That's a bit strange.

Jiang Zhiying couldn't help but want to pull her hand back.

But Li Yao held his hand tightly, preventing him from moving.

She glanced up at Li Yao and noticed that he was very focused, as if he were a craftsman carving a treasure.

Wow, Mr. Li looks really good from this angle.

She hadn't been this close to a man in a long time. Although her "husband" was gay, he had an extremely strong desire for control and possession, and would never allow other men to get close to her.

He treated her as a delicate and private plaything.

No one else is allowed to get involved.

soon,

A Contract Magic Array was drawn.

Li Yao placed his fingertip on the center of the magic pattern array and infused it with magic power. Jiang Zhiying felt as if an electric current had flashed in her palm, and the pattern drawn on her palm dried instantly, as if it were imprinted on her skin like a tattoo.

Jiang Zhiying withdrew her hand.

Looking closely at the magic pattern on his palm, he exclaimed, "Your hand is so steady, and the drawing is so neat!"

Li Yao smiled and said, "It's just basic operation."

What do these symbols mean?

"And these twisted and distorted... are they characters?"

Jiang Zhiying's curiosity was almost overwhelming. Li Yao pursed his lips and asked, "When is your husband coming back?"

Jiang Zhiying shook her head. "I don't know either."

Li Yao was getting a little impatient. He didn't want to wait for someone in the living room, so he looked upstairs and saw some chairs in the hallway after going up the stairs. He said, "I'll go upstairs to wait and see something to pass the time. Is that a place I can go?"

Jiang Zhiying smiled and said, "Please feel free to do as you please."

Li Yao found a place to sit down and took out his phone to study magic knowledge, while Jiang Zhiying obediently took the tea and snacks to the coffee table upstairs.

She sat opposite Li Yao, flipping through a book in her hand, but actually using the corner of her eye to curiously observe Li Yao.

Time passed slowly until around 9 p. m., when the sound of the keypad lock unlocking came from the villa's front door, and a well-dressed man walked in.

The man was of average appearance, but possessed a remarkable presence, exuding a vigorous and energetic aura; his physique suggested he was a regular gym-goer. He walked to the cloakroom near the door, put down his briefcase, removed his tie and cufflinks, and then felt something was amiss... Shouldn't that woman usually be attending to him at this time? He stepped out of the cloakroom and called out with displeasure, "Jiang Zhiying!"

upstairs,

Jiang Zhiying, who was sitting opposite Li Yao, suddenly trembled! That was a sign of fear.

The shouts came again from downstairs, "Come out!"

Li Yao reassured him, "It's alright, go downstairs."

Jiang Zhiying took a deep breath and walked down the stairs.

When we arrived at the lobby downstairs,

Jiang Zhiying, like a quail, lowered her head and said meekly, "You're back."

The man tilted his head, staring at Jiang Zhiying with an arrogant and fierce look. "What are you doing?"

Jiang Zhiying was about to say something when the man forcefully interrupted her, "Get over here now."

She was so startled by the shout that she almost instinctively knelt down...

Just then,

Li Yao's voice came from the stairs. "Wow, you have a terrible temper."

The man suddenly looked up. "Who is he! Well, you dare bring a man home when I'm not even home? Who is he?!"

The man pointed at Li Yao and questioned him loudly.

Jiang Zhiying was completely dumbfounded.

Under the other party's angry gaze, her body became uncontrollable, and even her brain almost lost its ability to think... Li Yao pursed his lips upon seeing this.

This is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder! How much suffering must someone endure to become like this?!

How could that man be such a beast to lay a hand on such a beautiful and virtuous woman?!

Seeing that Jiang Zhiying was completely bewildered, the man stopped questioning her. He looked around, rushed into the dressing room, took out a golf club, and strode aggressively toward Li Yao.

How dare you trespass on my property...

Who gave you the guts! Just wait and see what I'll do today!

I'll beat you to death!

Li Yao calmly watched him approach, and as he passed Jiang Zhiying, he suddenly unleashed a spell— Gaze of Fear! This was a Undead System necromancy spell that used Negative Energy to strike the target's mind. As the gaze continued, it inflicted fear and pressure. Unless the target's willpower was stronger than the caster's, they would remain under the pressure of fear until their mind collapsed. Even if they successfully passed a willpower save, they would still experience trembling.

—In other words, being startled and shuddering.

This spell's effect is somewhat lackluster, but it's incredibly effective against the weak, killing without shedding blood!

A dark light flickered in the depths of Li Yao's eyes.

Her eyes became eerily strange, and the man felt a chill creeping up his chest. His previously raging anger seemed to burst like a balloon, leaking out completely!

Lost along with it,

And his courage.

Li Yao continued down the stairs while maintaining the effects of the spell—the closer the distance, the stronger the spell's effect! The more intense the fear and pressure felt by the man became.

He quickly knelt on the ground, right next to Jiang Zhiying.

When Li Yao reached him, he looked down at the man and said, "Huang Dezhuang, is that right?"

The man nodded quickly.

Li Yao then asked, "Do you admit that you committed many harmful acts against Ms. Jiang, and that these acts were carried out against Ms. Jiang will?"

"I admit it! I admit it!"

Huang Dezhuang was so frightened that tears and snot streamed down his face, completely losing the dignity and toughness he had shown when he first entered.

Li Yao smiled, "That's good."

He squatted down, took Huang Dezhuang's hand, and circulated his spiritual magic according to the method taught by Old Man Lu. Soon, a wisp of sword energy emerged from his fingertips. With a light stroke, blood immediately gushed from Huang Dezhuang's right thumb.

Li Yao then took Jiang Zhiying's hand, which was inscribed with the contract magic rune, and pressed Huang Dezhuang's bleeding thumb against the center of the rune! Soon...

Stimulated by the blood, the magic runes glowed with a scarlet light! Under the radiance of the magical light, the original patterns slowly began to rotate, detaching from the skin of Jiang Zhiying's palm and floating in mid-air!

Jiang Zhiying, who suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, was also drawn to the strange mirror image before her.

Huang Dezhuang was the same.

The magical light gradually enveloped Huang Dezhuang's blood, and after it was completely imprinted into the blood, it suddenly burrowed into Huang Dezhuang's brow!

"Ah!!!"

Huang Dezhuang let out a heart-wrenching scream, clutching his head and rolling around in agony...

Li Yao stood up and said, "This is Blood Contract —from now on, any harm that Ms. Jiang suffers will be reflected tenfold in you. If Ms. Jiang dies, not only will you die, but your immediate family members will also die. Conversely, any pain or harm that you suffer will not affect Ms. Jiang."

This is the Blood Contract —domineering.

Unreasonable! Second update. I'm a bit tired... but my spirits are still good, so there will be a third update tonight. However, it's very late, so please read it tomorrow. I hope you enjoy reading it. I'll work hard to finish the next chapter in one go.
