209: Make a soul contract with Xiaonai

Chapter 209: Forming a Soul Contract with Xiao Nai

“When opportunity knocks, you must seize it. Only by improving yourself can you keep the one you love.”

Cooper, with the air of someone who had been through it all, earnestly advised Xiao Nai.

“That kid Dick is currently the most sought-after talent in the Royal Capital. So many noble young ladies are eyeing him, don't be careless and let him get away…”

Hearing this, Xiao Nai also felt a bit scared.

She looked down, and her slightly undulating figure came into view. Her delicate skin wasn't fair but a healthy wheat color.

She touched her face; although it was clean and flawless, it lacked some charm. Xiao Nai knew she wasn't good at applying makeup, so she was lazy about it.

After several thoughts, Xiao Nai suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. She seemed to have no advantage whatsoever.

People often say that first love usually ends with regret, and sorrow is the only theme.

“What are you thinking about?”

Just as Xiao Nai was lost in melancholy, a pair of large hands suddenly wrapped around her from behind, followed closely by Dick's gentle words.

In an instant, Xiao Nai's neck and cheeks turned red. She immediately turned around and hugged Dick back, using this to dispel the unease in her heart.

“Dick, you're here!”

Gently patting Xiao Nai's back, Dick looked at Cooper and casually tossed a blueprint over.

“Use the best materials and forge it urgently. I want to see the finished product in three days at the latest.”

Cooper took the blueprint, opened it to examine it immediately, and soon let out an exclamation.

“Oh my god, it's actually full of high-level miniature magic arrays. With such high density, what is it used for…” Cooper couldn't help but ask.

Even though he was well-informed, he couldn't understand the function of this magical item at all.

But Cooper knew that the magic power routinely operating inside this magical item, which looked like a small box, was extremely terrifying.

If it accidentally exploded, it could probably directly destroy several streets.

From this perspective, it seemed more like Dick was making him create a magic bomb?

“Heh heh, it's just for planting flowers.”

Dick casually replied, then took Xiao Nai's hand and walked outside.

“Dick, where are we going?” Xiao Nai asked with a cute, blank look as she tilted her head. She really liked being led by Dick like this; it gave her an inexplicable sense of security.

“Let's go to the inn. The Academy dormitory is too far.”

Hearing this, Xiao Nai's face instantly flushed. Many rosy fantasies unconsciously popped into her mind, and she subconsciously squeezed Dick's hand tightly.

A single man and woman, going to an inn in broad daylight, what else could they do?

“Heh heh, Dick, I just love your direct expression of affection,” Xiao Nai said softly, hugging Dick's arm. “It's okay, I will bear everything from you. Just come at me.”

Affection?

Dick shook his head and chuckled softly, not explaining anything. Anyway, soon, Xiao Nai would never be able to betray him.

Love can indeed be a means of enslaving people; its effect is extremely strong, but at the same time, it's not stable enough.

Compared to love, Dick preferred other more efficient and stable methods, such as the colorful Blessing he recently obtained, [Soulmate].

Currently, Dick is exactly level 20 and can gain two extra opportunities for Soul Contracts.

Not only that, another Blessing, [Master of Witches], can grant double the level increase based on the number of Witches controlled.

Therefore, in order to link with [Master of Witches], Dick must find Witches for these two contracts.

Aside from Alice who has already formed a Soul Contract, at this stage, there are three other Witches by Dick's side: Mina, Xiao Nai, and Cecilia.

Three Witches, but he only had two opportunities for Soul Contracts. This meant he had to choose two out of three.

However, there was no need to be conflicted. Xiao Nai and Cecilia were the best choices.

As for Mina?

Although she hadn't formed a Soul Contract with him, the System had determined that she was under his control, and [Master of Witches] had already gained two levels.

Mina was very special, more special than the other women around him, because her heart only contained Dick, with no other entanglements.

Alice still had the Bison Family, Xiao Nai still had the Kulonan Family, Cecilia still had the Royal Family and Elizabeth, Beyonce still had the Li Huo Rabbit Clan…

Dick wasn't the only one they cared about in their hearts. If a conflict of interest occurred, there was still a possibility of being backstabbed.

Only Mina was different!

Aside from Dick, she truly had nothing. The only one she cared about in her heart was Dick.

Therefore, even without a Soul Contract, Mina was currently considered to be in a state of being controlled.

Before long, Dick brought Xiao Nai to a deep alley beside Forge Street.

Pink neon signs were everywhere here. As far as the eye could see, there were posters full of suggestive meanings, and from time to time, scantily clad Courtesans could be seen soliciting business.

Xiao Nai had heard of Courtesan Houses, but this was her first time in such a place.

Once, when Xiao Nai first arrived in the Royal Capital, she had inquired everywhere about various businesses that could make money…

A pimp with ill intentions saw that Xiao Nai was a virgin, so he recommended this line of work to her.

Xiao Nai lacked social experience and actually wanted to try her luck.

After all, she heard that just by having a drink and chatting with guests, she could get a lot of gold coins, which was incredibly easy.

Fortunately, Cooper was also present at the time. He stopped Xiao Nai in time and told her about many of the dark sides of the Royal Capital.

However, even without Cooper, with Xiao Nai's shy nature, she would probably have run away immediately.

Being a Courtesan is not an easy profession. Unless one is truly desperate, who would be willing to sell their flesh?

Although Xiao Nai was poor, she was at least the daughter of an Earl, a proper noble young lady, so she wouldn't starve to death.

Soon, the two stopped at an inn.

Xiao Nai's body was tense. She honestly followed beside Dick until she sat on the large bed in the inn room, and only then did she finally regain her senses.

“Dick, it's… it's a bit hot today. I've sweated a little and want to take a bath first…”

Hearing this, Dick didn't turn around. He was still tinkering with the magic array related to the Soul Contract, and casually said, “No need to wash, let's just do this.”

“Oh…”

Xiao Nai responded softly, then waited nervously on the bed.

Several minutes later, seeing that Dick still hadn't moved, Xiao Nai immediately couldn't help but ask, “What are you doing?”

“It's a Soul Contract, an eternal contract that transcends love and hate, crossing life and death.”

Dick let out a light breath, got up, and came to Xiao Nai's side, saying slowly, “After signing the contract, you will forever be my woman. You won't be able to run away even if you want to.”

“Mm!”

Xiao Nai was extremely moved. She smiled foolishly, simply taking this as a declaration of love, completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter.
