Devil's Son-in-Law Chapter 921: Contract and News
Chapter 921: Contract and News
Yang Shao Empire’s Garden City.
In a cave on a barren mountain in the outskirts of the city.
“Madam Python.” Chen Rui bowed to the Fountain of Resurrection shrouded in mist.
The mist quickly converged into a vague woman, which looked mysterious and ethereal. Her eyes slowly opened, and a faint glow appeared.
When Chen Rui looked at the gloomy gaze, he felt that his strength was quickly pulled out of his body, and he was shocked. He quickly activated the power of the Evil Pupil to remove the ‘deprived’ power.
“Not bad.” The woman showed an admiring smile as her pleasant voice sounded, “Although your Evil Pupil originated from Sariel, it has other magical uses. When Sariel activated the ‘Evil Moon Sigil’, he would have never imagined this kind of abnormality would happen.”
Chen Rui heard the subtext behind Python’s praise: I won’t make the same mistake as Sariel, and you shouldn’t have any rash thoughts.
“Madam has overpraised. In fact, because my soul power is somewhat special… and this time the Evil Pupil’s abnormality was just a fluke. I almost lost my body and spirit because of it. I still have a lingering fear, when I think about it.”
“Luck is also 1 of the strengths…” Python didn’t continue on this topic. Her tone changed, “Do you know our destination this time?”
Chen Rui didn’t fake daze, and he replied, “Madam once said that Satan wanted to imitate Michael and others to gather the Book of Destruction, to dominate all the super powerhouses of the Demon Realm, and to create the Dark Divinity Temple to steal the faith of the gods in order to condense godhood and embark on the path of becoming a god. So, is our destination this time…the Holy Light Mountain, the core of the Holy Church?”
“Yes, the Book of Creation is at the Light Divinity Temple at the top of the Holy Light Mountain,” Python gave him a deep look, “Are you familiar with the Holy Light Mountain?”
“I… visited the Holy Light City of the Holy Light Mountain once back then.” Chen Rui took a deep breath, “Actually, I’m a human. Madam should already know this.”
Python nodded slightly as her eyes flickered, Chen Rui stared straight at her without hesitation as his gaze showed a scorching light, “Madam, my original intention to go to the Demon Realm was to experience strength, but I accidentally encountered the most important woman in my life, so I plan to stay in the Demon Realm. I have prepared for the worst for this trip to the Holy Light Mountain… But there is still a glimmer of hope in my heart, and that is to return to the Demon Realm.”
Chen Rui’s meaning was very clear. Although I have concerns, I have already arranged the funeral. At most, we will die together.
Judging from the difference in strength between the 2 sides, it was nonsense for him to perish together with her, but this time the destination was the Holy Light Mountain. Under certain specific circumstances, the possibility of perishing together still existed.
“Since you’ve said it so frankly, I’ll also tell you the doubts in my heart. I’m not sure if it is a trap that you’re leading me to?” Python smiled tenderly, but Chen Rui could keenly hear a hint of gloom in the laughter, “If you want to get rid of my control, this is a pretty effective way. Therefore, we need a way to get the best of both worlds without mutual distrust, such as…”
“Master-subordinate contract.” Chen Rui replied.
With a master-servant contract, the master could kill the subordinate at a certain price whereas the master-subordinate contract was different. The master couldn’t kill the subordinate, but with the power of contract, the subordinate must be loyal and would never betray the master.
Python revealed a pondering expression while Chen Rui spoke up again, “Also, I want 1 more thing, which is likely to be put together with the Book of Creation.”
“What is it?”
“1 of the 7 artifacts of the Demon Realm, the Breeze Shadow Boots!”
“Breeze Shadow Boots?” Python was a little surprised, “The Wind Badge is actually in the Light Divinity Temple?”
It wasn’t the first time Chen Rui heard the term ‘Wind Badge’. He nodded, “About 100 years ago, a human cheated the Breeze Shadow Boots from my woman, causing the Belphegor Royal Family to be nearly wiped out, and I swore to help her get it back. So, I hope Madam will grant my request.”
Only with common goals and needs could Python be more at ease.
“My intuition tells me that what you said before may be somewhat inaccurate, but these words are indeed true.” Python smiled, and a contract of soul power appeared in her hand, “I promise you. Anyway, the Breeze Shadow Boots are not important to me. Sign the master-subordinate contract now.”
Chen Rui looked at the contract, then he added soul power and signed Chen Rui’s name without hesitation. Python was a person who knew his details. If he used other names, it would cause suspicion. But in this world, ‘Chen Rui’ was also a pseudonym.
“Your soul power… does feel a little special.” After Python signed her name, the 2 names on the contract glowed, indicating that it took effect, then the contract disappeared.
He heard similar words when he signed a master-subordinate contract with the Holy Lady Eudora that year. Similarly for Chen Rui, this contract was just a spiritual link that could be easily canceled at the cost of aura.
He knew that Python had super sensing talent far better than Eudora, so before that, just in case, he deliberately used the Evil Pupil as the reason earlier to point out that his soul power was special. No doubt he passed the test smoothly.
After signing the master-subordinate contract, the atmosphere between the 2 parties seemed to relax a lot, and Python obviously put down most of her guard.
“Madam, as far as I know, the Holy Light Mountain usually opens the teleportation portal every day for pilgrims to enter the Holy Light Mountain to worship, and later it was changed to every 7 days for various reasons, and the checking is stricter. This is the Garden City belonging to the Yang Shao Empire which is extremely far away from the Holy Light Mountain. We need to go to the Yang Shao Capital first, then from the capital to the Dragon Bright Empire, and then pass through the Dragon Wing City at the west of the Dragon Emperor Empire. After that, we use the teleportation portal to the White Cliff where the Holy Light Mountain is.”
Chen Rui’s knowledge of the human world’s intel was not limited to the previous visits here, but more from the avatar of Shura. He also played a trick game here. The fastest route should be the Dragon Tooth City at the eastern border of the Dragon Bright Empire. Dragon Tooth City had a teleportation portal dedicated to the White Cliff. The reason why he suggested the Dragon Wing City in the west was that he wanted to stop by the Dragon Bright Capital Yerodisha in order to understand the situation of Samuel and the Kemplot Family.
Even if the time was tight, Samuel’s personal safety must be ensured first.
In fact, the culprit of the ‘reform’ of the pilgrimage was himself. The theft of the Snow Dallet Tree shocked the upper levels of the entire church, so they greatly strengthened the White Cliff’s vigilance.
Although Python’s sensing talent was powerful, it was impossible to cover everything. Coupled with the shielding power and contract guarantee of the Evil Pupil, she didn’t have any doubt, “Very good, then we will go to the Yang Shao Capital first. Rest assured, our main purpose is to infiltrate. As long as you don’t encounter the 3 archangels, I have absolute confidence to take you away safely and return to the Demon Realm.”
After speaking, Python turned into smoke and returned to the 6-star imprint on Chen Rui’s wrist.
10 days later, Chen Rui appeared on the streets of the Dragon Bright Capital Yerodisha.
The Dragon Bright Empire had a very close relationship with dragons, and they also had the only real Dragon Knight Legion in the human world. ‘Yerodisha’ meant ‘sparkling treasure’ in the dragon language.
Yerodisha was 1 of the most famous cities for human beings. The grand and prosperous city was also the political, military and commercial center of the Dragon Soul Empire. Even the Demon Realm’s most advanced Fallen Angel Capital was still inferior to Yerodisha.
Chen Rui came to Yerodisha for the second time. Looking at the wide avenues, the buildings and the endless crowds, the long-lost strange feeling began to surge in his heart – Arthur, your home, is here.
The first thing he did when he came to Yerodisha was to inquire about the opening time of the Dragon Wing City’s teleportation array. This was for Python to see. Only after inquiring did he know that the opening time of the Dragon Wing City’s teleportation array was 6 days later, and it would only take 4 days to get there.
As it was getting late today, Chen Rui found a hotel in Yerodisha. While drinking wine at the wine pavilion at night, he heard about some recent events, including the Kemplot Family.
The Kemplot Family was once the top commercial family across multiple sectors of the Dragon Bright Empire. The huge wealth also made many people jealous of the Kemplot Family. After the disappearance of the ruler of the Golden Estate, Third Prince Arthur, whom they were loyal to, the representative lord, Second Prince Garfield, had repeatedly suppressed and framed them, so they had fallen into a precarious predicament.
After the second son of the Kemplot Family, Samuel, was born, he defeated the top genius swordsman Paul, married the eldest daughter of the Philip Family, Joanna, and successfully passed the Dragon Valley test to become a member of the Dragon Knight Legion. He contributed a lot and won the appreciation of Lex the Great. Samuel’s father, Carlo, was also promoted to become the director of the Finance Affairs Department from the original deputy director, becoming 1 of the 5 leaders of the 2 councils and 3 departments. The entire Kemplot Family saw the hope of revitalization again.
The trade fair held every 3 years in the human world would start in 2 months. This year it will be held in the Dragon Demeanor City, the second largest city in the south of the Dragon Bright Empire. However, at this juncture, 2 major events happened. The first was that several major chambers of commerce in the empire jointly sued the Finance Affairs Department’s Director Carlo for using unscrupulous methods to suppress the chambers of commerce in various places, and even murdered people for money for personal and family selfish interests. They produced a lot of solid evidence of the large number of crimes, asking Lex the Great to punish him severely.
Seeing that the trade fair was about to be held, yet such a thing happened, Second Prince Garfield took advantage of the situation to fan the flames. Lex the Great seemed extremely furious. If it wasn’t for Fourth Prince Luke’s protection, Carlo’s family would have been raided and beheaded. He was now imprisoned in the prison for felons.
The second major incident was that Samuel, who had rushed back after hearing the news, wanted to assassinate Second Prince Garfield in order to vent his personal anger. He was captured on the spot by Fagris, the leader of the Dragon Knight Legion, and imprisoned in the Thunder Prison where powerhouses were imprisoned.
These 2 incidents almost made the Kemplot Family collapse. At present, important family members were being monitored by the military. Even the closest in-laws, the Philip Family, were forced to draw a line with them, and Joanna was forcibly taken back to the family. She ran around in private, trying to rescue Samuel, but there was nothing she could do.
Chen Rui didn’t know Carlo’s personality, but he knew very well about Samuel. Samuel is definitely not some kind of mindless scumbag; he must be caught in some kind of trap. Judging from the fact that the Dragon Emperor rejected Shota Dragon Anderlu’s request on the grounds of not interfering with the royal family’s internal strife, this matter is definitely not simple.
Anyway, I have to go to the Thunder Prison tonight.
