Chapter 157 Contract Signing Completed
"I have already told them in detail about your situation before, but to be honest, they don't care much about it. The reason is simple. After all, this is just my personal matter, and they don't have the leisure to interfere." I slowly explained to Xue Mei in front of me, and at the same time my eyes unconsciously glanced at Li Ling who was silent on the side.
At this time, Li Ling also came over, but I just noticed it.
"And now your brother Shan'an's whereabouts are still a mystery, and there is no news. So in my opinion, you and Li Ling might as well stay here with me temporarily. Anyway, my place is deserted on weekdays, and almost no one comes and goes. If you two stay here, it can more or less add some liveliness to this house." As I said this, I wondered whether this arrangement was appropriate.
After all, letting two strangers live in your home is something you need to consider carefully. But after thinking about it, it seems that there is no better way at the moment. You can't just turn them away, right?
Hearing what I said, Xue Mei seemed a little embarrassed. She lowered her head slightly and said softly, "This...is this too much trouble for you? You have helped me so much, I really don't know how to repay your kindness." Her words were full of gratitude and guilt.
"It's okay, it's okay!" I quickly waved my hand, comforting him, "Of course I will take responsibility for you to the end. After all, the relationship between us has long surpassed that of ordinary friends."
Speaking of this, my mind can't help but emerge from the scenes of my time with Xue Mei, and a warm current can't help but surge in my heart. Thinking back to the relationship between myself and Xue Mei, I know that I have a heavy responsibility.
"Well, I've always believed that you'll keep your promise and take responsibility." At this moment, Xue Mei, who had been a little shy, suddenly raised her head, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes looked at me firmly and gently. Clearly, that past was of great significance to her.
"I will definitely find Shan'an!" I clenched my fists tightly and said to Xue Mei in front of me with an extremely firm gaze, "I believe in his strength. A man as powerful as him will never die easily! He will definitely return to us safely." My voice was firm, as if I had already seen Shan'an's heroic appearance when he returned.
After a short pause, I suddenly remembered something and quickly continued, "By the way, I also found a weapon in the village. Come and see how it feels?" Before I finished speaking, I quickly reached into my arms and carefully took out the tightly wrapped item.
When the last layer of cloth was peeled off, a weapon shining with strange light appeared before our eyes - this was the Soul-Bewitching Blade we had found before.
"Wow, what is this?" Xue Mei widened her eyes, staring at the Soul-Bewitching Blade in surprise, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "It looks so beautiful!" She couldn't help but take a step forward, wanting to appreciate this mysterious and beautiful weapon more carefully.
Looking at Xue Mei's fascinated expression, I smiled slightly and explained softly: "This is the Soul-Bewitching Blade, a very powerful weapon! It is said that it can control people's thoughts and turn the person who is hit into a puppet without any independent consciousness in an instant. The infamous Blood Knife King was able to control so many innocent girls with this weapon." When I thought of the suffering suffered by those poor girls, a wave of anger surged in my heart.
However, I soon calmed down, turned to look at Xue Mei, and said gently: "However, this weapon does not have much practical use for me. So, I think I should leave it to you. I hope you can use it to protect yourself, so that no one will dare to hurt you easily in the future." After that, I handed the spiritual blade in my hand to Xue Mei without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Xue Mei immediately picked up the Spirit Blade and gently swung it a few times, the blade whistling through the air. Her eyes were filled with curiosity and excitement as she said, "This Spirit Blade feels so effortless to wield, and it feels like the power is flowing endlessly."
I smiled, nodded gently, and said slowly, "Can you try to recognize the weapon's spirit as its master? It's currently ownerless. See if you can establish a bridge of communication with the spirit."
"Okay, then I'll try it." Xue Mei responded. She carefully placed her hand on the blade, then slowly closed her eyes and began to feel the mysterious spirit of the blade with her heart.
At this moment, she seemed to have entered a state of ecstasy, engaging in a silent dialogue with the spirit within her weapon. This moment was undoubtedly the most crucial for Xue Mei.
I had originally thought that such a complex and difficult task would take a considerable amount of time to make any progress. However, to my surprise, in just a few blinks of an eye, Xue Mei successfully completed the master recognition ceremony with the Soul-Bewitching Blade!
Then, without hesitation, Xue Mei picked up the blade and gently stabbed her finger. Instantly, bright red blood flowed from her fingertip. Then, she quickly smeared the flowing blood on the spiritual blade.
An astonishing scene unfolded—the spirit blade, as if possessing life itself, absorbed the blood completely the moment it came into contact. Thus, the contract between the two was successfully concluded.
Witnessing all this, I couldn't help but stare in amazement, secretly marveling at how incredibly fast it was. Normally, a master contract like this would be extremely tedious and time-consuming, but Xue Mei was able to pull it off in such a short time. It was truly impressive.
"Okay, the spirit of the weapon has successfully completed the contract with me. Now I know all the magical abilities it possesses. This is truly a well-deserved artifact!" Xue Mei opened her eyes with joy and said to me excitedly.
"Well, it's good that it's done. You must use this weapon to protect yourself in the future." He said to Xue Mei with a smile, "It's getting late. I'll take you to your room. I have a few empty rooms here, which are just enough for you to stay in."
"Okay, I want to try this weapon some more. I think I will be able to fully master it tomorrow." Xue Mei followed behind him happily, while Li Ling stood beside him without saying a word.
Then I led them to the room prepared for them. When we stepped into the room, a fresh air hit us.
The house was neatly arranged and fully equipped, with all items neatly placed and spotless, obviously having been carefully cleaned.
The bed is soft and comfortable, and the blankets are as white as snow, giving people a sense of warmth and tranquility at first glance. In such an environment, you can just move in without any extra tidying up.
After properly settling the two of them, I breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to return to my room to have a good rest.
Just then, light footsteps sounded behind me. I turned and saw Li Ling quietly following me. She lowered her head, as if she was holding something in her heart that was difficult to express.
"What's wrong? Is there something in the room that makes you dissatisfied?" Seeing her like this, I couldn't help but lower my voice and ask with concern.
