Zong Shen tilted his head, staring at the red-faced devil in the mirror with great interest.
The mirror formed from the contract had an effect closer to that of a copper mirror, preventing him from making out more details of the devil's appearance and features. He could only vaguely tell that it was a devil who fit human standards of beauty.
He wondered whether some illusion capable of influencing subconscious perception was at work.
After all, he did not believe that a devil would reveal its true form so easily.
Seeing that he remained silent, the devil in the mirror showed no anger. Instead, she became even more enthusiastic.
As long as he did not immediately refuse and destroy the contract, there was still an opportunity.
As a master of manipulating minds, Landu Asmo was her true name. Every devil was a born merchant. They excelled at weaving clever lies, but they would never falsify their true names.
That was because a true name was bound to a devil's contract and was constrained by the rules in ways beyond comprehension.
Landu Asmo sensed the depth of Zong Shen's soul. This was a soul with great value for trade.
There were even things within it that not even she could clearly understand.
Thus, she would never give up so easily.
"Still your thoughts and focus your mind, and you will be able to communicate with me."
"Come, tell me everything you desire..."
"I can satisfy it all for you~"
She coaxed him gently, sticking out her small tongue to lick her thin lips.
Hearing her words, Zong Shen curled his lips into a smile and attempted to communicate through focused thought.
"Then, esteemed Lady Devil."
"I want to become the most powerful person in this world."
"Can you make that happen?"
