Chapter 255 – Rites to Dissolve the Contrac

It’s believed that whether it’s learning or using black magic, it would corrode and eat away at one’s soul, so the church ostracized black magic. Anyone caught secretly learning black magic would be seen as an evil heretic and would be immediately apprehended. The Four Kingdoms also cooperated and dealt with any literature related to black magic, so there were few powerful black magicians left.

Snow happened to be one of them.

According to Snow, the slave contract she used on Elena was an ancient one, likely the original made by the founder of black magic.

Other than being powerful, complicated, and unable to be broken, it had a special feature… if the slave fell in love with their master and gave birth to the crystal of their love, then the contract would automatically be cancelled.

“Actually, black magic isn’t that frightening, Edward, the founder wasn’t a scary demon. He only made the slave contract because he was a fatty who nobody liked. He used the contract to catch girls, held them captive and left the only way to break the contract so that a girl would like him.”

… Catching and imprisoning girls, and you say he’s not a frightening demon.

I’m afraid Snow’s the only one who could say something like that. However, the person responsible for correcting Snow is her brother, and the only thing Elena was concerned with was how to face the reality.

From when she was crammed into a deliver package, to almost a year later, even if there wasn’t any particular movements from the demons and the Forest of the End was silent, with lesser skirmishes at the borders, Elena knew that it was only the calm before the storm.

The Venus Society definitely had a more frightening plot, the academy tournament was just a small display. Anderson was but a mere pawn, the real Venus Society has only but revealed the tip of the iceberg…

Not to mention the traitor was working hard in order to succeed the Demon King position, although Elena was confident that they wouldn’t be able to pass the trial within a year, time was running out…

No, she couldn’t drag it on any longer! Elena had to find a way to quickly remove the contract and leave the good for nothing Lin Xiao and fight with Snow against an unknown enemy.

She still had so many important things to do, how could she waste any more precious time by being Lin Xiao’s maid?

No, definitely not! She had to leave!

But, but…

If she wanted to leave, then she had to bear Lin Xiao’s child!

But, but…

“No! No way, you want me to fall in love with you? Peh! In your next life! I’d rather die!”

Elena stuck out a finger and pointed towards Lin Xiao’s face, trying to maintain her usual indifferent attitude but failing.

“So, you’re not willing?”

He rarely saw Elena embarrassed, so he found it even more funny and couldn’t help but raise his brows and tease her.

“Elena, you don’t want to leave me, right? Actually, you’re pretty happy being my maid, right. After all, I’m an excellent master… It’s understandable if you don’t want to leave.”

Lin Xiao lied on the sofa, putting his feet up and uttering shameless things.

“W-what did you say? Peh, don’t flatter yourself, who would want to be a maid for a pervert like you?”

“Oh, since you hate me so much, then okay…”

Lin Xiao smiled craftily and purposely put on a regretful expression. He sighed while getting up and started taking off his clothes in front of Elena.

“Damn pervert! W-what are you doing?”

Seeing as how Lin Xiao was about to take his pants off, Elena couldn’t look at him anymore and looked away in fluster, only keeping an eye on him out of the corner of her eyes.

“What am I doing? Isn’t that obvious?”

Lin Xiao continued feigning innocence and took a posture like he was going to take off his pants, but he wasn’t serious.

“So Lin Xiao you finally couldn’t help but control your perverted desire and want to reveal your short and residual manhood in front of me?” Elena bit her lips and cursed.

“Short… uh, Elena, how do you know I’m short? Don’t tell me you’ve seen it?” Lin Xiao pursed his lips and didn’t want to be outdone, “Could it be that you secretly took off my pants while I was sleeping and did something perverted?”

“Hah? Y-y-you… shameless pervert! I, I never did anything like that!”

Elena would have never thought that Lin Xiao would make a dirty joke while taking off his pants in front of her.

This guy was getting more and more unbridled! Did he really take her for a a good, obedient maid?

“Hehe, okay, no more kidding around.”

Sensing that she was shaken, Lin Xiao feigned restraint and gave her some time to sort out her emotions and then tossed another bomb as she recovered somewhat.

“Come, Elena, let’s undergo the rites to dissolve the contract.”

“Rites? What rites?”

“You know, between man and woman… come, I don’t mind doing it with you.”

“Get lost, you damn pervert!”

Being teased by Lin Xiao several times, Elena was finally driven to a dead end as she scooped up a pillow and flung it at him.

“Ah… why are you angry, I’m doing this for you, aren’t I? If you don’t do it with me, then how are you going to complete your missions?”

“Even so, no!”

“Okay, okay, I won’t force you if you don’t want to, but if you don’t want to do it with me, then you have to obediently be my maid!”

“Miad? That’s a no as well!”

Elena followed along with a cup as she said that.

“Ah! That hit my head… oww, Elena, can you not be so willful? If you don’t want to do it with me and you don’t want to be my maid, then what do you want to do? Unless… you want to marry me and become Snow’s sister-in-law?”

“Peh!!!” Elena wanted to spit on this shameless bastard.

“But it’s regrettable Elena, you lost the wager so she wont admit that you’re her sister-in-law… also, the person I like is Shen DaiYing, she’s Snow’s gentle sister-in-law, and not a cat with a bad temper like you.”

“Tsk, sister-in-law… there’s a limit to wishful thinking, is the person you like your wife? Don’t forget Lin Xiao, you heartlessly abandoned her and now you want to marry her? Keep dreaming!”

Lin Xiao knew she was talking about what happened during the competition and immediately retorted.

“But Elena, don’t forget who I did that for!”

“Eh? T-that was… me…”

Suddenly mentioning that, Elena remembered what happened and went silent.

Noticing her silence, Lin Xiao did the same.

Unexpectedly, their quarrel came to such an awkward topic.

Thinking of someone, Lin Xiao’s eyes flashed a slight gloom, and he ignored Elena and lied back down on the sofa, closed his yes, and continued stroking his badge.

Elena’s head hurt seeing him like that and wanted to say something but didn’t know how to start, and in the end she sighed, walked back to the kitchen and started preparing lunch.

“Pervert, there’s no more ingredients!”

Elena’s bright and clear voice came from the kitchen.

“Hm… since I’m going to get a paycheck soon, you can take my money.”

“Oh.”

Elena walked out, took Lin Xiao’s money bag, changed clothes and prepared to go shopping and didn’t forget to say something hurtful before leaving.

“Is a mere alliance investigator enough to satisfy you… Lin Xiao, your life, what difference is it from a pig’s?”

“Hmph, it’s none of your business, hurry up and go! As a maid, if I’m not satisfied with your lunch, then I’m going to punish you!”

“Oh, okay. I’ll do my best to put insects and shit in there to satisfy you.”

“Tsk… try it if you want to be trained!”

“You dare!?”

Bang.

Elena slammed the door shut, leaving Lin Xiao alone in the house.

“Sigh, the contract huh.”

If it wasn’t for this quarrel, he almost forgot.

Ever since Snow told Elena the method of how to dissolve the contract, Lin Xiao has been very happy, an inexplicable delight. He knew that she wouldn’t be willing to have his kid, so Elena couldn’t leave even if she wanted to.

Or maybe he really can keep Elena by his side forever.

After deriving such shameless logic, he finally let a load go.

Although it was unfair to Elena, if possible Lin Xiao really wanted to help her and didn’t want to tie her down with the contract. It would be best if she would willingly stay, but…

That would be too laughable, even if he knew that Elena didn’t want to kill him, he would never believe that she would willingly be his maid.

But what if?

If he could do something to make her want to stay…

Knock, knock, knock.

At that time, a knocking came from the door.

“Why is she back so early? Did she forget something?”
