"Girl, did you release me?" The man arched his eyebrows, looking at Mu Ruyue with a half-smile. "Since you released me, I won't kill you. You may leave."
With a wave of his hand, his sleeve created a gust. Suddenly, his expression changed drastically, emitting a violent aura.
"Who? Who dared to contract me? And even a wretched Master and Servant Contract! Who did this?"
The Master and Servant Contract bound the Contractor for a lifetime, making them unable to defy their master; otherwise, they would fall into hell and never find salvation.
His domineering black eyes narrowed slightly as he cast an angry gaze at Mu Ruyue. "Did you contract me? No! With your strength, you couldn't possibly contract me. Unless..."
His eyes darted towards the Dan Book in Mu Ruyue's hands. Gritting his teeth in rage, he thought, This thing imprisoned me for so many years, and now it helped this woman contract me?
Finally gaining freedom, only to have it destroyed by this damned book once again!
As soon as his strength recovered, the first thing he would do was burn this damned book!
"Who are you?" Mu Ruyue's eyes turned cold, expressionless as she stared at the domineering man before her. Through this sudden turn of events, she drew two conclusions.
First, her soul's transfer to another world must be related to the Dan Book.
Second, the Dan Book originally came from the Divine Martial Continent and somehow ended up in Huaxia.
But no matter what, since she was here, she had to adapt. The most important thing now was to strengthen her power. The survival laws of this continent were identical to those of the Cultivation World of Huaxia.
Survival of the fittest!
Only with great strength could she survive and eventually find a way back to Huaxia.
The man's handsome face darkened; anyone who had just escaped captivity only to be confined again would not be in a good mood. "Yan Jin, my name. Thousands of years ago, uttering my name would cause fools to tremble. Unfortunately, I fell into a human trap and was imprisoned in this book for a thousand years. Now, probably few remember my name."
"Who imprisoned you?" Mu Ruyue asked with calm eyes.
"How would I know? If I find out who it was, they'll regret being born!" Yan Jin gritted his teeth. "These thousand years have drained most of my Qi, and the remaining power within me is extremely unstable. Otherwise, not even the Dan Book could have helped you contract me."
Just thinking about being caught by humans again made Yan Jin's face look unpleasant.
"Anyway, I never planned to keep you. If you want to leave, go ahead." Mu Ruyue got out of bed, poured herself a cup of tea, and didn't spare him a glance.
Yan Jin's gaze stayed fixed on the girl, a faint and obscure light flashing in his deep eyes. He took a large step and sat in front of Mu Ruyue, quirking his lips. "Now I don't plan to leave."
His power was unstable, but being around this girl might help him recover faster. Yan Jin stayed with the intention of quickly regaining his strength. Once fully recovered, not even the Master and Servant Contract could bind him forever.
"If you wish to stay, you must abide by two conditions," Mu Ruyue said, gracefully sipping the bitter tea, her eyebrows slightly raised. "First, I don't care what your past status was, but here, you can't act high and mighty. Second, you must unconditionally obey my orders. If you can't do this, you may leave. I don't keep those who disobey, nor do I want someone stabbing me in the back during a fight."
