Do Not Say It Was Not Forewarned

The black chains spread rapidly, attempting to bind Li Xunsheng's soul.

The numerous chains encountered no resistance, easily and completely seizing control of his fragile soul.

His mind flickered for a moment, and Li Xunsheng was jolted by a sharp pain, his eyes widening.

[Will of God triggered! Check passed! Mental Counterattack!]

The previously fragile soul instantly became imbued with golden light, its brilliance dazzling Mo Rui until her vision went white...

The black chains shattered instantly, then reformed under the golden radiance, tightly binding Mo Rui's black soul...

[Slave Contract established. Mo Rui's soul is now directly under your control; you can cause her soul to perish at any time.]

Mo Rui: Σ(⊙▽⊙"!!!

"So I said, you might regret taking action..."

After waiting for Mo Rui to calm down, the young man tapped the table helplessly.

Looking at the woman whose face was filled with indignation and hatred, Li Xunsheng hadn't expected this outcome.

If this demoness had attacked directly, he likely would have had to flee with the boost from his Body of God, with no chance to retaliate.

But, she had insisted on launching a full-force mental attack...

Ah, I've been framed.

"Who exactly are you?!"

Her soul bound, unable to move without Li Xunsheng's command, Mo Rui gritted her teeth, glaring fiercely at the man before her.

"Just an outsider trying to protect himself... I already said, I won't get involved in your affairs, even if you are from the Demon Race."

Li Xunsheng had no particular impression of the Human Race in this world. He could barely protect himself now; he didn't even have the energy to protect his true compatriots from Earth, so how could he concern himself with the Demon Race?

"We can continue our contract as if nothing happened."

Although, before the confrontation, Li Xunsheng had belonged to Blood Rose, and after it, Blood Rose belonged to Li Xunsheng.

However, he didn't really want to give Mo Rui too many orders, mainly because...

She wouldn't listen!

This demoness was constantly expressing extreme resistance through her soul. While she couldn't defy Li Xunsheng's commands, she could choose to commit suicide, to end herself.

If she died completely, it would be one thing. But what if there was some secret technique, and she managed to send word to the Demon Race after her death? Li Xunsheng, who hadn't even been in Lone Star City for an hour, would have already thoroughly offended the entire Demon Race...

This was the situation he least wanted to see.

"Let's just pretend nothing happened. You're still the shopkeeper, I'm still an employee, and we'll discuss our master-servant relationship later. For now, let's go our separate ways, how about it?"

"..."

The surging anger in her heart gradually subsided, and Mo Rui continuously scanned the man before her with a heavy gaze.

Originally, she would never have believed this guy.

But after witnessing that golden radiance... a persistent question remained in her heart.

Did humans possess such powerful counter-abilities?

This guy, from the very beginning, had been extremely indifferent to the plight of humans. He hadn't gotten angry even after seeing her true form, nor had he shown the slightest hint of hatred towards her.

"You... are not human."

Her tone was certain, her face resolute. This succubus showed none of the charm and gentleness from their first meeting. Instead, she resembled a warrior ready to face death, willing to sacrifice everything for her race.

"..."

Li Xunsheng pursed his lips and looked at his hands.

[Race: ?]

"If you are willing to swear an oath in the name of your race that you will not reveal my identity to any human..."

After a moment of silence, Mo Rui finally relented, but she presented her demand.

She still had a mission to complete. Having paid such a heavy price, she absolutely could not die here for nothing.

"I will absolutely not reveal any information about you to any native human on this land."

"This promise can be bound by any oath. Is that acceptable?"

"This is where you'll be staying."

After the contract was signed, Mo Rui was forced to accept her new employee.

Since her identity was already exposed, she decided to maintain her succubus form and led Li Xunsheng to the resting room within the shop.

"Is that so..."

"What are you looking at, you pervert!"

Noticing his gaze consistently fixed on strange places, Mo Rui spun around sharply, facing the man whose eyes were wandering.

"Cough, I'm just curious, what would this tail feel like..."

Without any pretense, Li Xunsheng rubbed his chin, looking at Mo Rui's tail, which hung below her waist, with a probing gaze.

A demon's tail, interesting.

"Hmph, I suggest you save your energy. No matter what your true form is, as a Succubus, draining is our race's passive ability. With your current scrawny body, you'd probably die instantly."

Even though her soul was controlled by this man of unknown true form, Mo Rui didn't show much awareness of being a servant. She glared at him with contempt before proudly turning and walking away...

[This Succubus has suppressed her demonic aura using a special method to avoid detection by the Human Race]

[However, to maintain this concealment, this Succubus had to remain absolutely pure from childhood and live as a human, not as a Succubus]

There's such a thing?

Li Xunsheng reached out and called to Mo Rui, who was about to leave.

"Wait a moment, boss."

"What?"

"Do you have any tasks for me?"

A level 70 Succubus, there must be a series of tasks I can do on her.

"No! Only for demons!"

Gritting her teeth, Mo Rui felt that her carefully cultivated mindset over the years was about to be completely ruined by this strange guy.

"Then can I have an advance on a month's salary? I have something to take care of..."

He had to reach level ten within a week, but Li Xunsheng's talents didn't include any combat skills, so he had to find another way.

"Here!"

[Received one gold coin from Mo Rui]

"If you have something to do, don't ask for leave. Hurry up and go!"

Because of this man, her plan was almost disrupted, which made it impossible for Mo Rui to put on a good face.

"Thanks, I'll be on time tomorrow."

Ignoring Mo Rui's scowl, Li Xunsheng ushered his boss out of his room.

"Finally, I have some free time."

In his private room, Li Xunsheng opened his status panel and flipped to the talent page.

[Godhead (Incomplete): Requires a large amount of faith to repair. Please collect faith and develop believers as soon as possible.]

"How should I..."

Huh?!

The moment he thought about obtaining faith, a strange vision appeared in Li Xunsheng's mind.

It was an open space in a forest... A gentle breeze blew, and on the lush green grass, lay an irregular golden stone...

That thing was very important to him.

This thought suddenly appeared in his mind, making Li Xunsheng understand the stone's significance.

It seemed to be his medium...

In other words, it was a tool for gods to bestow miracles?

In an instant, a woman emerged from the forest in his vision, interrupting Li Xunsheng's thoughts...
