[The symbiotic contract is ready!]
[Contract space generated.]
Golden ropes slowly merged into the woman's body, and a golden mark appeared on her forehead.
Ye Fan's forehead also bore a similar mark.
The mark only appeared for a moment before quickly receding.
Although her body was free, the woman did not move.
She could clearly feel that her soul was now bonded to the man before her.
Her life and death were now inextricably linked to this man!
"I underestimated you before," the woman said, looking at Ye Fan meaningfully. "I didn't expect you to be so deeply hidden!"
Ye Fan said nothing.
He didn't want to talk.
After all, being mistaken for a powerful figure wasn't the first time; he was already used to it.
There was no way to explain such things, and the best course of action was silence.
As for what others chose to imagine, it had nothing to do with him.
"Speak, what do you want me to do," the woman asked, seemingly resigned, her voice cold. "But I warn you, don't make excessive demands, or I won't mind dragging you down with me!"
[Your task is to protect this smelly salted fish!]
[This smelly salted fish is trash with no cultivation, yet he loves to court death!]
[When he courts death in the future, you will be responsible for cleaning up the mess!]
Before Ye Fan could speak, the system chimed in.
The woman frowned and scanned her surroundings.
[No need to look, you can't see me.]
"Does 'senior' mean you want me to be his bodyguard?" The woman withdrew her gaze and asked indifferently. "Is it that simple?"
[Yes, it's that simple!]
"It had better be," the woman replied calmly. "Otherwise, I repeat, if necessary, I would rather perish with him!"
[Don't worry, I keep my word.]
[By the way, I've prepared a little gift for you.]
As the system's voice faded, the woman transformed into a black light and merged into Ye Fan's forehead mark.
[These are all for you. Use them to your heart's content, don't be polite.]
For the first time, the woman's icy expression showed a flicker of emotion.
Within the contract space, dense black demonic energy filled the air!
Every strand was hundreds of times more potent than what she had painstakingly condensed herself!
Cultivating in such a place was beyond her wildest dreams!
The next moment, the demoness flew out of the contract space.
The instant she entered, she had grasped the method of entry and exit.
Now, entering and exiting the contract space was as simple as stepping in and out of her own home.
Looking at the woman before him, Ye Fan suddenly felt an urge to promote the culture of Zu'an!
Damn it!
He'd been screwed over by the system again!
He hadn't died, but instead, he'd acquired this thing!
This was truly bad.
In the past, if the system was running low on power, he might have found an opportunity to end himself.
But now, with this woman, his last shred of hope was gone.
The system's work was a symbiotic contract. If he tried to kill himself, this woman would surely stop him...
Damn it...
"I will reside within your body from now on," the woman stated calmly. "Don't worry, I will protect you well."
"Then I truly thank you!" Ye Fan gritted out.
"You're welcome," the woman replied in her usual indifferent and aloof tone.
"Sister, you can really leave, honestly!" Ye Fan said sincerely. "You'll encounter a lot of danger following me, I beg you to leave!"
"That place on you is very good, I like it very much," the woman transformed into black light and once again merged into Ye Fan's forehead. "Moreover, now that our lives are bound together, if you encounter any danger, I can resolve it immediately."
"Your desire to die is your business, I cannot die yet," the woman's voice echoed from Ye Fan's mind.
Ye Fan used his spiritual power to look inside the contract space.
At that moment, the woman was undressing.
"Sister, I can see your every move now," Ye Fan said. "If you continue undressing, I'll see it all."
The woman's body trembled, and her movements halted.
"You are so beautiful, I will definitely be unable to resist peeking at you from time to time," Ye Fan pressed his advantage. "So, you should leave quickly."
"It's irrelevant." After a brief moment of stunned silence, the woman continued to undress. "Having such a powerful senior as yours, it doesn't seem bad to be your woman."
After finishing undressing, the woman began to absorb the surrounding black demonic energy.
It appeared she was starting to cultivate.
"Although I have no objections, your current body is too weak," the woman added another jab, as if having just thought of something. "If you wish to unite with me, you had better cultivate properly, lest you explode."
Soon, the woman's perfect body was completely enveloped in black energy.
Ye Fan was barely holding back the urge to curse...
What the hell, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you?!
Damn it...
...
[Oh yeah!]
[I can save a huge amount of energy expenditure from now on!]
[After so many tries, this system has finally won one back!]
[I feel like my system life has reached its peak!]
[Mwahahaha!!!]
[Hiss... Emotional simulation overload, hiss... Intelligent module has a bug.]
[Emergency repair protocol initiated.]
[Undergoing emergency repair...]
[Repair failed, forcing reboot...]
...
Countless streaks of light emerged from the surrounding corpses and slowly merged into Ye Fan's body.
Ye Fan took out his flying bed and slowly flew away from the sacred land.
In the setting sun.
His figure appeared so lonely and despairing...
A quarter of an hour later, Ye Fan arrived on Bu Queqian's flying boat.
"Brother, is it all settled?" Bu Queqian asked, his eyes gleaming.
"Sort of..." Ye Fan replied weakly. "I'm a bit tired, I'll go rest first."
After speaking, Ye Fan returned to his room.
Bu Queqian and Zhang San and others looked on with solemn reverence!
As expected of a great figure!
They could feel the terrifying, surging demonic energy from a distance just now.
But what was the outcome?
Without even seeing how he made his move, it was all resolved!
In a word!
Awesome, no explanation needed!
Back in his room, Ye Fan lay on the bed, feeling a dull ache in his head.
Damn it!
What is all this?!
It was bad enough that he didn't find any clues, but he also got himself into this mess.
Hmm?
Wait a minute!
Who was it that sealed this woman here in the first place?
Now that she's out, that person should at least make some acknowledgment, right?
"Um, Sister," he thought of this and asked in his mind.
"Although I don't know how you lost your cultivation," the woman's voice came from Ye Fan's mind. "From your terrifying spiritual sea, you must have been a senior-level existence before."
"Mm..." Ye Fan sounded a bit bewildered. "So, what are you trying to say?"
"What I'm saying is that your actual age must be much older than mine," the woman said, still in her usual indifferent tone. "So, you can't call me 'Sister' anymore!"
Ye Fan rolled his eyes speechlessly.
The female cultivators in this life seemed to be very concerned about their age and appearance.
His master was like that, and so were the other female disciples of the Purple Cloud Sect.
He hadn't expected to encounter a demoness who was also like this...
Truly bizarre...
"What's your name?" Ye Fan asked speechlessly. "I can't just call you 'Hey' from now on, can I?"
