Three Chapters of the Covenant

"How should we form the contract?"

"It is simple, just like this." Medusa lightly tapped her forehead, transmitting a memory to him.

"Then let's begin."

"Aren't you afraid I might tamper with the contract?" Medusa looked at him with some surprise.

"I trust you."

Ye Shu looked into her eyes, completely serious.

"Detestable bastard..."

Hearing him say that, Medusa actually felt this little rascal had a bit of charm.

She said no more and lightly tapped her chest with her fingertip.

"Then let's begin."

The two simultaneously extracted a drop of essence blood from their hearts. The two drops of essence blood converged in the air, transforming into a golden contract rune that split into two and sank into their respective foreheads.

Ye Shu slowly opened his eyes and looked at Medusa. A strange feeling welled up in his heart, making him subconsciously feel that the person before him was his closest kin, utterly unable to produce any thought of harming her.

"Mom?"

Out of nowhere, he suddenly blurted out subconsciously.

Medusa froze for a moment, her face instantly turning entirely red. "What the hell are you saying, you bastard?!"

She tried her best to suppress the urge to hit him.

"Now that the contract is formed, we rise and fall together. I won't try to kill you anymore, but you must agree to three of my conditions."

Ye Shu was taken aback. "What conditions? Let's hear them."

Medusa held up three fingers.

"First, you cannot reveal my existence to anyone, even to those closest to you."

"Second, you must help me recover my strength."

"Third... Third..."

Mentioning the third point, Medusa found it somewhat hard to speak. She glanced at Ye Shu and said with a blushing face, "Third, you cannot rape me."

The first two conditions were reasonable enough.

But as soon as the third condition came out, Ye Shu was completely dumbfounded.

"What do you mean I can't rape you?"

He pointed at his own nose, staring at her with wide eyes. "Look into my eyes. Do I look like the kind of person who would go against a woman's will just for lust?"

"You are."

Medusa nodded quite seriously.

It wasn't that she was being an alarmist, but that was exactly what was recorded in that little booklet. Even though the path was different now, it had still genuinely happened.

Snatching the flame, failing the evolution, and agreeing to three rules.

To protect her innocence, she had to write this into the contract just in case.

Seeing her guarded look, Ye Shu laughed out of sheer anger.

"Fine."

He nodded and also proposed three conditions.

"Courtesy demands reciprocity. I can agree to your conditions, but you must also agree to three of mine."

"Let's hear them," Medusa nodded.

"First."

Ye Shu held up a finger.

"When I need you to take action, you must do so. You cannot refuse me for any reason."

"Second, I need your venom as a medicinal catalyst."

"Third, you are not allowed to attack the people around me."

Hearing this, Medusa nodded.

"I can agree to your other two conditions, but the first one needs to be changed. This Queen is only your ally, not your hired thug."

"I can fight for you, but only three times."

"After three times, unless your life is in danger, whether or not I take action will depend on my mood."

"Three times?"

Ye Shu pondered for a moment and nodded.

"Acceptable."

Three chances for a Void Reversion mighty figure to strike should be enough in this environment surrounded by wolves.

An overly comfortable environment would make him lose his drive to progress.

"Then it's settled."

With a wave of Medusa's right hand, a golden contract appeared out of thin air in front of them.

"I said before, being in the same boat also includes supporting each other."

"This contract represents the promises of both parties. Once signed, our contract will officially take effect."

Ye Shu looked down and saw that it was densely packed with clauses, exactly what the two had just discussed. Without any hesitation, he signed his name on the contract.

After signing, the contract split and sank into their foreheads.

"Very well, do not forget your promise."

Medusa said coldly. Immediately after, her entire body transformed into a small silver-white snake that coiled around Ye Shu's wrist.

"What are you doing?"

"Do you think it is easy for this Queen to maintain a human form in my current state? Waking up was already a stroke of luck," Medusa's voice echoed in his mind. "If you want this Queen to be of help to you, feed Little Silver more of the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame."

"This Queen is going to rest."

With that, she closed her snake eyes. When they opened again, the snake pupils no longer possessed their previous intelligence.

"Hiss, hiss?"

The little snake tilted its head in some confusion and affectionately rubbed against the pad of Ye Shu's finger. Clearly, Medusa's divine soul had fallen into a deep slumber and would only awaken when Ye Shu called for her.

"Phew"

Xiaobai, who was off to the side, breathed a sigh of relief. "You survived again." She covered her face with her hands, her gaze peeking through the gaps between her fingers to steal glances at Ye Shu's lean and muscular body.

In the past, she had always peeked from inside the wardrobe.

This was her first time looking from such a close distance. The experience was completely different; it was almost like looking at a monster!

How could that girl Lin Qingxue handle it?

Ye Shu ignored her curiosity. Instead, he lay down on the bed exhaustedly, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Finally... I survived again..."
