These Two Couldn't Stop Stabbing Each Other!

Chu Yun watched the light of the contract flicker within the Contract Room.

His face turned livid as he repeatedly questioned that aged voice in his mind:

"You told me Lin Wei might be a Peerless Divine Weapon. Well, look what happened now. She formed a contract with Bai Zhou, and the divine weapon that was practically in my hands has been handed over to someone else. How do you explain that?"

"Sigh..." The voice in his mind let out a long sigh.

"First of all, I said 'might'!"

"Second, who knew you'd be this honest? Couldn't you have lied and told her you were going to form a Life-and-Death Contract with her, then changed your mind afterward?"

"Lie?" A trace of disdain entered Chu Yun's voice. "I, Chu Yun, am not that kind of petty man!"

Yeah, yeah, sure!

You, Chu Yun, were the great Protagonist. Naturally, you looked down on trickery and deception.

Bai Zhou, meanwhile, was the big villain, a petty man who loved scamming people. Happy now?

Chu Yun's sanctimonious act left even the voice in his head speechless.

And it was at that moment.

He heard Shen Qin's voice beside him:

"Shouldn't the two of us start our contract too?"

Chu Yun turned to look at Shen Qin. Any affection he had once felt for her had long since vanished, and he sneered.

"Shen Qin, Shen Qin, you really are ridiculous!"

"Didn't you want to throw yourself at your Eldest Young Master Bai? What, you pressed your warm face against his cold ass, he didn't want you, and now you've come crawling back to me?"

"You want me to contract with you? Are you even worthy?"

Ding! Detected the Protagonist's White Moonlight suffering mental damage +8888. Obtained Destined Villain Value +100. Villain Roulette requires 2900 more to activate!

Shen Qin immediately sprang up as though someone had stepped on her tail.

"Chu Yun, I'm warning you not to go too far!"

Perhaps worried that she had raised her voice too much, Shen Qin glanced around before lowering it again.

"Do you really think awakening an SSS-Class Talent means I'd give up Bai Zhou and form a contract with you? Are you worthy?"

Ding! Detected the Protagonist suffering mental damage +99999. Obtained Destined Villain Value +200. Villain Roulette requires 2700 more to activate!

Bai Zhou: I have no idea either. I'm in the middle of making a contract, and these two just stabbed themselves twice out of nowhere!

Before Chu Yun could erupt, Shen Qin quickly continued:

"You want to contract with Lin Wei, and I want to contract with Bai Zhou. We now have a shared goal."

"We can first sign a Companion Contract. Once the two of them finish their contract, we'll challenge them!"

"The wager for the challenge will be making them dissolve their contract!"

"You're SSS-Class, and I'm S-Class. What about them? One is A-Class, while the other is merely E-Class. How could they possibly be a match for us?"

As she spoke, Shen Qin actually revealed a sinister expression.

Chu Yun was stunned upon hearing this. Looking at her, he asked in return:

"Forcibly dissolving a Life-and-Death Contract causes severe backlash. Both strength and talent would be greatly reduced. Would they agree to that?"

"What's there to fear?" Shen Qin seemed to have already thought of a solution.

"What does that kind of backlash amount to for a top family like the Bai Family?"

"As for Lin Wei..."

Shen Qin had originally intended to say that Lin Wei did not need to be considered at all.

But recalling that Lin Wei was, after all, Chu Yun's little lover, she said instead:

"You have an SSS-Class Talent. Even if she suffers immense backlash, wouldn't everything be resolved once she forms a contract with you?"

Listening to Shen Qin, Chu Yun fell silent.

In truth, he was communicating with the voice in his mind.

After hearing that voice say, "She has a point,"

Chu Yun immediately raised his head.

"Fine!"

"We'll do as you say!"

"But once it's done, we must dissolve our contract at once! I don't need you to become my Divine Weapon Maiden!"

Ding! Detected the Protagonist's White Moonlight suffering mental damage +333. Obtained Destined Villain Value +50. Villain Roulette requires 2650 more to activate!

Shen Qin curled her lips. "As if I'd ever be interested in a bootlicker like you!"

Ding! Detected the Protagonist suffering mental damage +999. Obtained Destined Villain Value +100. Villain Roulette requires 2500 more to activate!

Bai Zhou: Who would've thought that even without me there, these two could have so much fun?

Perhaps it was the repeated notifications caused by the Protagonist and his White Moonlight stabbing each other with their words.

That made Bai Zhou less focused on his contract.

It also lasted quite a bit longer.

Of course, because of the special nature of a Life-and-Death Contract, it already took longer than other methods of contracting.

But eventually, the contract was completed.

Bai Zhou could now feel the warm sensation surrounding his body gradually fade.

At the same time, it felt as though every aspect of his physical abilities had improved.

Not only did his body feel light as a swallow, but his hearing and vision had become sharper as well.

Bai Zhou knew this was the result of the mutual sharing between a Divine Weapon Maiden and a Spirit Master after forming a contract.

As Bai Zhou opened his eyes, Lin Wei did the same.

Yet the instant Bai Zhou opened his eyes, he discovered what seemed to be an ancient mirror floating in the air.

The mirror happened to be aimed directly at Lin Wei.

Several lines of clear text appeared upon its surface:

Name: Dragon Gallant Silver Spear

Level: 1

Quality: Ultra SSS-Class

Talent Skill One: Dragon Gall: Greatly increases damage for a short period!

Talent Skill Two: Furious Stab: Lets out a loud shout to intimidate the opponent, inflicting control for a certain duration and preventing them from dodging the following thrust!

"Holy Black Rhino Armor... No, no, that's not right... There's a difference, there's a difference." Upon seeing those words, Bai Zhou nearly jumped off the floor.

The name of that skill really was a little...

But it did not matter.

Bai Zhou's eyes were now filled with delight.

That mirror floating in the air was clearly the purple reward he had received from the roulette earlier.

Its effect was actually allowing him to see the other party's spirit weapon, level, and even skills with perfect clarity!

In battle, being able to predict the enemy's moves would be utterly bug-level!

Bai Zhou could not help sighing once again that anything produced by the system had to be top-tier.

Of course, this was far from the only thing that delighted Bai Zhou.

He had never expected that after Lin Wei contracted with him, her hidden attribute would be fully activated outright.

She had immediately reached Ultra SSS-Class!

He remembered that in the original novel, after Lin Wei contracted with Chu Yun, this talent had only gradually revealed itself through long periods of battle.

But now that it was his turn, he had opened with the ultimate trump card right away?

Of course, it might also have something to do with the method of contract.

After all, Chu Yun and Lin Wei had initially signed a Companion Contract in the original story.

Lin Wei and he, on the other hand, had directly formed a Life-and-Death Contract.

Besides!

Bai Zhou also remembered that when he had first transmigrated, S-Class Shen Qin possessed only one talent skill.

Yet Lin Wei's Dragon Gallant Silver Spear possessed two talent skills outright.

No wonder she was Ultra SSS-Class!

She even crushed Chu Yun's Protagonist-tier Spirit Master aptitude.

Of course, Bai Zhou knew that this was simply the original novel's setting.

Lin Wei's Ultra SSS-Class quality existed specifically to give Chu Yun, the Protagonist, a cheat.

But...

Chu Yun, you should probably go find another cheat seller.

I've already deleted your account from this route!

Just as Bai Zhou was immersed in his joy.

Lin Wei, who stood facing Bai Zhou, drew in a small breath.

She could not help saying in surprise:

"No, something's wrong. I... I feel like my quality... No, no, that can't be right."

At that moment, Lin Wei stood there with light flickering in her eyes, looking somewhat at a loss.

Bai Zhou simply smiled and nodded.

"Student Lin Wei, your feeling is correct. Your talent has improved."

"Is that true?" Lin Wei sounded more shocked than pleased.

"But how could that happen? I... I've never heard of a Divine Weapon Maiden improving her aptitude after signing a contract with a Spirit Master."

"What is going on? This..."

As she said this, Lin Wei froze slightly. She raised her head to look at Bai Zhou and slowly said:

"Student Bai Zhou, could this... be because of you?"

"Of course!" It wasn't.

Bai Zhou naturally swallowed those last two words.

He even shamelessly raised his hand again and rubbed Lin Wei's little head.

"Otherwise, how could I have spotted what made you special at a single glance?"

Right, right, right!

Bai Zhou was nothing more than a petty man who knew only how to trick and deceive others!

How could he possibly be compared to the great, radiant, upright Lord Protagonist Chu Yun?
