"Don't listen to this guy."
Leon nonchalantly rewarded Lucy with a brain-buster.
"Lucy, this is Xina, you have to get along with her, and you're not allowed to teach her those weird things."
Lucy pathetically covered her forehead, "Okay brother, but what's weird things? Is it about the time you forced me into your room earlier?"
Xena looked at Leon in shock, sure enough, did he adopt himself for that kind of purpose?
Leon's head was full of black lines and he didn't want to explain anything else.
Enishi looked around the room curiously, poking and prodding at the various furnishings in the room, not thinking of herself as an outsider at all.
"Oops!"
"Ping-pong-"
A pair of decorative armor fell to the floor in pieces.
Enishi looked at Leon in aggravation, "Eh, I ... I didn't mean to ... This armor is also too unsturdy ... "
...
Leon knocked on the door of his father, Joel's room.
"Come in."
Leon walked straight to the desk and placed that jade box that Raine had given him on the desk without saying anything.
Yol looked at that jade box in a slight daze, and after a few moments, asked, "Want to know what's in here?"
Leon was a little curious as to what exactly it was that could make even Hanlomu, the Sangha City Lord with a family of ten thousand dollars, furious.
But Leon still shook his head, "If you expected me to know, you wouldn't have asked that."
"Huh." Joel laughed, "You've really changed, gotten smarter, as if you've suddenly become enlightened, it's almost like you're a different person. But that's a good thing, I'm glad."
Leon listened in a cold sweat.
"It's fine, go ahead and get busy." Yol waved his hand, and Leon wisely exited the room.
Yol opened the jade box, which held a delicate monocle.
The monocle was rimmed with gold silk and engraved with fine and intricate patterns, which seemed to contain magical power.
[Item] Soul Sight
[Rarity] Supreme
[Equipment Level] First Order
[Introduction]You can see the souls of all things through it. By the way, don't look at the sun with this.
Joel carefully picked up the monocle and put it on his left eye. The delicate glasses looked very out of place with his rugged face, like a burly adult wearing a child's clothing.
But next, he frowned, and a fine bead of sweat oozed from his forehead, as if he was torn.
But in the end, he made up his mind and chose to look in the direction Leon had left.
This slight turn of his head, however, seemed to have cost him his entire body.
Finally, Yol breathed a sigh of relief and revealed a relieved smile.
"He's Leon."
...
By the time Leon saw Xena again, she had changed into an elaborate dress that was a stash from Lucy's personal closet.
"Brother Leon ..." Xena threw a look of help towards Leon.
At the moment Xena was being held tightly by Lucy, her two cute little faces rubbing against each other.
"Hehehe ... Xina, my lovely Xina."
The carefully groomed Xina was quite lovely, not at all inferior to Lucy.
Xina tensed her body, and at this point the Demon King was a bit overwhelmed.
"Suits you quite well." Leon smiled, seeing that Xena was well taken care of by Lucy.
"That's enough Lucy, Xena is not your cat."
Lucy let go of Xena fondly, "Oh my poor Xena, about to fall into my brother's clutches. But have no fear, Lucy will keep a good eye on her brother and won't let that beast touch a hair on your head ..."
"Come with me."
Leon took Xena.
There was one thing that Leon had to implement before it was too late, otherwise, when Xina awakened the power of the Demon King, she would still be forcibly taken away by the Demon Race's people, and with each of the eight Demon Generals being eighth-ranked powerhouses, Leon would have no power to resist at all.
He had to sign a contract with Xina.
Only then could he completely bind Xina to his side, and the eight demon generals would not be able to strike easily against him.
The one he was going to sign with Xina was the soul contract with the harshest conditions.
This contract could not be dissolved, the souls of the two would be completely bound, and when either party died, the other would also die immediately.
At the same time, the growth of either party's strength or the awakening of their abilities will be fed back to the other party.
To put it more plainly, it's sharing experience bars and skills.
If things went well, Leon might become the second Demon King!
"Xena, you're smart." Leon's face turned serious, "But haven't you always wondered what I see in you and why I took the trouble to bring you home?"
Xena nodded.
"I see a future in you."
Xena seemed to understand and asked, "Is it because I'll be pretty later?"
"No, it's because you're strong later."
Leon took a deep breath, knowing exactly what he was talking about.
He could have completely tricked this world-weary little girl into signing a contract with him of her own accord, and she wouldn't have any room to back out afterward anyway.
But Leon wasn't willing to do that, he resisted such behavior from the bottom of his heart.
"Do you know who you are?"
Xena thought for a moment, "Xena. Earls, child of a whore and a mercenary, now sold to you by her mother, should qualify as a slave to brother Leon."
"No." Leon stroked Xena's small head, leaned down and whispered in her ear, "You are the Demon Lord."
"Demon King?" Xena had bewilderment in her eyes.
"Yes, you have the power of the Demon King lodged in your body, you are the king of the Demon Race, and you will lead the Demon Race to rule the world in the future."
"Is this a joke? Brother Leon, it's not funny at all." Xena didn't understand Leon's intentions.
"No, it's the truth." Leon said softly, "I have some special means to know things that others don't know."
Xena's gaze towards Leon remained half-hearted.
"So, Lord Demon King, I want to be your investor." Leon once again stroked Xina's head, "I'll protect you now, and you'll protect me in the future, what do you think?"
According to the development of the original plot, if Xina hadn't been taken away by Leon and continued to stay in Xantha City, she would have experienced some very bad things, and it was the occurrence of these things that made Xina completely hate humans.
"Sounds fair." Xena seemed to have accepted her status for the time being, "But I don't have any room to object at all do I? Brother Leon, this is your home."
"I'm not going to force you to do something you don't want to do." Leon said, "Even if you hate me, I can still raise you."
"Sounds good." Xena cocked her head and looked at the side of Leon's handsome face, blushing slightly before suddenly bursting into a touching smile.
"You're such a good person, Brother Leon, I trust you, and if I'm really a Demon King, then please help me become stronger."
