Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 394: Two or Three Years
Chapter 394: Chapter 394: Two or Three Years
But how did Ye Wuming know about this side effect of the Death Aura?
Xiao Zhan had a sudden spark of realization.
Because Ye Wuming’s wife is also a Death Demon Scythe. Of course, she must be different from Ye Youlong’s Death Demon Scythe, for the same SSS-grade Artifact Spirit cannot exist simultaneously; each one is unique.
Regardless of which type of Death Demon Scythe it is, she definitely possesses the Death Aura, and thus Ye Wuming naturally knows the side effects involved.
At this thought, Xiao Zhan suddenly faced another question.
Was Ye Wuming really framed by someone?
Or did he stage this scenario himself because he knew his life was coming to an end?
Of course, Xiao Zhan didn’t know the real situation; it was just a random guess.
Because he hadn’t found out where Ye Wuming had set the trap yet, and hadn’t reaped any benefits. freeweɓnøvel~com
Watching Xiao Zhan lost in thought, Liu Xin seized the opportunity to pour a cup of wine and slipped in the pre-prepared Extreme Desire Pink Love.
She knew that Xiao Zhan was cautious and somewhat wary of her, and as a woman without technical means, drugging him was challenging.
She intentionally brought up this issue to distract Xiao Zhan and make it easier to drug him.
Now, with Xiao Zhan distracted, it was the perfect moment for her to act.
Of course, Extreme Desire Pink Love alone was not enough; it would only evoke the most primal desires and wasn’t enough for Xiao Zhan to engage with her.
After all, Ye Youlong was right beside him, and Xiao Zhan could simply turn to Ye Youlong.
Therefore, she added a bit of hallucinogenic drug to make Xiao Zhan see her as Ye Youlong.
This way everything would proceed naturally.
Indeed, Xiao Zhan did not notice her ulterior motive in pouring the wine.
His thoughts were entirely focused on the side effects of the Death Aura.
He snapped back to reality and couldn’t help but ask Liu Xin, "But I have signed a Life and Death Contract with Youlong; can’t the contract negate this influence?"
It was a pointless question.
If it genuinely could negate such influence, Xiao Zhan wouldn’t be facing the issue of poor performance.
His question stemmed more from unwillingness to accept the reality.
Liu Xin replied, "No."
Then she explained, "You need to understand, no matter what contract you signed with Ye Youlong, you both remain independent entities. Just like love, no matter how deeply you love, there is always a possibility of separation. Thus, the Life and Death Contract cannot erase this influence."
"Similarly, just as a Fire Attribute Spirit Master will never sign a contract with an Ice Attribute Artifact Spirit, a Life and Death Contract may bring two people together in love, but it cannot make fire and ice reconcile. The nature of Death Aura is the same; it fundamentally cannot be altered."
Xiao Zhan’s expression gradually darkened; he had always thought he was being unrealistic, but he hadn’t imagined the issue to be so grave.
"So, I am going to die, right?"
"All people will die."
Liu Xin felt this consoling sentence was somewhat trite, but it was the best she could come up with at the moment.
Xiao Zhan gave her a cold look, took a deep breath, and then asked calmly, "How long do I have to live?"
"Hard to say," Liu Xin shook her head, "Maybe as long as Ye Wuming after breaking through to Seventh Grade."
"So, I still have quite a long time to live," Xiao Zhan managed a bitter smile.
It’s easier to advance to the Sixth Grade, but Seventh Grade is not so easy to breach. Ye Wudi’s been stuck for many years and has only reached Half-step Seventh Grade Sovereign. Xiao Zhan, being more talented, might live for another five or six years without issues.
"That’s not necessarily true."
Liu Xin shattered his hopeful thought.
Xiao Zhan looked at her puzzled.
Liu Xin explained, "It’s been a long while since we’ve seen each other, and you must have gained quite a few opportunities. These opportunities have greatly enhanced your combat power, but at the same time, they have also intensified the erosive effects of the Death Aura."
"If you take Ye Wuming as a reference, you might die after breaking through to the Seventh Grade, but based on your own data, I’m afraid you’ll die not long after you break through the Sixth Grade."
"And with your terrifying speed of cultivation, I think it will take at most two to three years."
Two to three years?
Xiao Zhan’s corners of the mouth turned even more bitter, how old would he be in two to three years?
Twenty-three or twenty-four.
This is the best age in one’s life.
Others are still enjoying life, while he is about to be devoured by life.
Really unwilling, indeed.
"Since you can see through my situation, do you know of any solution?" Xiao Zhan asked unwillingly.
He is still so young, he is still so outstanding, his wife is still so beautiful, and he doesn’t even have children yet, he really can’t reconcile with this.
"First, drink."
Liu Xin handed the drugged wine to Xiao Zhan.
Drugging someone has to be unexpected, that way others are less likely to suspect.
But Xiao Zhan is now in no mood to drink wine; after receiving the wine glass, he just held it in his hand, with no desire to drink at all.
"What, now that you know you’re going to die, you won’t even drink wine?"
"People, who isn’t going to die, what’s important? It’s about enjoying the present moment!"
Having said that, Liu Xin downed the wine in her glass in one go.
Her wine was not drugged, because she needed to stay calm, to coax Xiao Zhan into signing a contract with her while he was passionately infatuated with her.
This way, even if Xiao Zhan woke up later, he could do nothing about her.
Of course, there’s one more thing - she didn’t want her first time to be blurry and confused either.
Seeing her so forthright, Xiao Zhan’s bitter mood was slightly eased, and he picked up the wine glass and drained it in one gulp.
A gulp hearty, a swallow chilling to the core.
Xiao Zhan felt as if his mood had slightly improved.
Unable to stop himself, he poured another cup for himself and downed it in one go, lifting his spirits a bit more.
Decisively, he then picked up the wine bottle and blew into it.
Glug glug glug.
He polished off the entire bottle in an instant, feeling satisfied, he put down the bottle, and took a deep breath.
"Refreshing!"
Indeed.
Drinking dissolves myriad troubles.
"Now can you tell me?" Xiao Zhan, much improved in spirits, then looked at Liu Xin and asked her that question.
But he found Liu Xin staring at him, with a dazed expression.
"What’s wrong?"
Xiao Zhan stretched his hand out in front of her face and waved it.
Liu Xin then came back to her senses, her face instantly turning somewhat bitter.
Seeing Xiao Zhan had drunk the whole bottle of wine, a touch of fear rose in her heart.
"Having polished off this whole bottle, such a large dose, am I not about to suffer later?"
This was what Liu Xin thought inside.
Upon seeing Xiao Zhan’s face, she suddenly felt somewhat cowed, wondering what to do.
