Chapter 381
Amidst the dense steam in the bathroom, a tall shadow slowly appeared. In a hoa.r.s.e voice, the shadow laughed, “As expected, I still cannot escape your senses. Ha Lei admires you.”
Long Yi opened his eyes and got up from the bathtub. After wiping himself off and draping a bathrobe onto himself, he said indifferently, “This young master has never liked taking baths with other men. Neither does this young master like to discuss matters in the bathroom.”
Ha Lei shot a stealthy glance at Long Yi’s little brother… That was really big enough, and he couldn’t help but feel jealous. After hearing what Long Yi said, he laughed hollowly and walked out of the bathroom, following Long Yi.
“Boss, why is this guy here?” Barbarian Bull immediately became alert and asked Long Yi. He was sitting in the hall waiting for Long Yi to finish his bath, however, Long Yi suddenly walked out of the bathroom with Ha Lei following him. Barbarian Bull couldn’t help but stare at the both of them in shock.
“Well, about this, you have to ask him yourself. Anyway, Ha Lei, I don’t remember there was a dark magic spell similar to a thief’s concealing skill, what exactly did you use to come into the bathroom? I know you used a dark magic spell as I managed to sense dark magic fluctuations in the bathroom…” Long Yi placed his bottom on the soft sofa and then placing one leg over the other, he asked.
Ha Lei didn’t treat himself as a guest, he made himself at home as he sat on the sofa opposite Long Yi. He answered, “This is Dark Vanis.h.i.+ng Magic. In the Blue Waves Continent, there is no knowledge of dark magic like this.”
The eyes of Long Yi flashed and staring at Ha Lei, he said, “You actually have knowledge of magic spells that are not native to Blue Waves Continent. You are certainly resourceful. ”
Ha Lei laughed in his hoa.r.s.e voice and he didn’t plan to explain himself anymore. He said, “Tonight, I am here to look for Young Master Ximen to discuss some matters. Does Young Master Ximen have the time to talk to me?”
“How could I not have time to talk to you, didn’t you already come and look for me uninvited?” Long Yi indifferently said. However, in his head, Long Yi was racking his brains to think of the reason for Ha Lei to look for him so urgently. The guy even had to sneak into his bathroom!
Ignoring Long Yi’s sarcasm, Ha Lei said, “Today, there were many people in the city lord mansion. Naturally, there were people there who were not on friendly terms with me. As such, I have come to look for Young Master Ximen in private in order to discuss some matters with you.”
Long Yi raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, “Are you truly thinking of following me around?”
“If the conditions can be negotiated, it is not impossible for me to join you on your journey.” Ha Lei
picked up the fruit wine from the table and drank it in a single gulp.
“You are too treacherous. There is no way I’m going to trust you and keep you by my side. You might even be an undercover agent sent by Long Zhan or the dark forces behind him to keep an eye on me.” Long Yi stared Ha Lei and sent his spirit power out to pressure him, hoping to force the truth out of him.
Ha Lei slightly trembled. The wine bottle in his hand also shook and the pressure which Long Yi placed on him made his blood and qi churn.
“With a Dark Soul Contract, I wonder if it is possible for Young Master Ximen to trust me.” Ha Lei looked back at Long Yi and his voice became even hoa.r.s.er.
Long Yi retracted the pressure he was exerting on Ha Lei. Rubbing his chin, Long Yi looked at Ha Lei for a long time without saying a word, Long Yi was deep in his thoughts as he thought about what Ha Lei said. After thinking about it, Long Yi opened his mouth and said with a smile, “Don’t tell me that you are subdued by the dominating kingly aura of mine, even the roadside dogs will not believe that. Tell me honestly, what is your goal?”
“For a better chance of survival, that’s all. The situation in the Blue Waves Continent is already clear. It is only the matter of time before the Proud Moon Empire is destroyed. After Proud Moon Empire is destroyed and the Violent Dragon Empire takes over the land, I believe that your Ximen Clan will become a huge power in the new Violent Dragon Empire. I, Ha Lei, can help your Ximen Clan seize the regime even faster because I am very familiar with the dark forces behind Long Zhan. If you have me as your undercover agent and you have an insider coordinating with you, the regime of the Violent Dragon Empire will fall into the hands of the Ximen Clan before long.” Ha Lei stated clearly.
“Putting it that way, wouldn’t you play an extraordinary role in our Ximen Clan? Not to mention the fact that your soul would be under my control. Are you so confident that I wouldn’t do anything to you after obtaining your soul?” Long Yi only believed half of what Ha Lei said as Ha Lei was the one who wanted to sign the soul contract with him. Although Ha Lei’s life would be in his hands, Long Yi was still wary of Ha Lei as he was the one who suggested signing the contract, who knew it Ha Lei had any tricks up his sleeve?
“I also have my conditions. After the Ximen Clan becomes the most powerful clan in the Violent Dragon Empire, I hope Young Master Ximen will terminate this soul contract. Also, I hope that Young Master Ximen would not meddle in the affairs of the Dark Church after that.” Ha Lei said.
Long Yi pondered for a
a while. The objective of Ha Lei was unexpectedly the Dark Church. Long Yi thought to himself that Ha Lei’s conditions were indeed rather interesting. With a smile, Long Yi replied, “I can agree to those conditions.”
Ha Lei immediately laid down a barrier and suddenly stood up, before kneeling in front of Long Yi. His mouth began to chant an obscure incantation and a wisp of thick dark qi emerged out from the s.p.a.ce between his eyebrows. In the air, that thick dark qi changed into a strange black magic rune and floated in midair. That black magic rune suddenly broke into two halves, of which, one entered Long Yi’s body and the other entered Ha Lei’s body.
Dark Soul Contract was a kind of mysterious contract magic under the dark magic discipline. Even Long Yi didn’t know such magic spells. He had only briefly known some information about such magic spells from Bite Xiuge’s magic records. He hadn’t expected Ha Lei to actually know such magic spells. Now that the soul of Ha Lei was already under Long Yi’s control, Ha Lei would obey any command Long Yi gave without any objections. It could be said that Ha Lei’s life was in Long Yi’s hands currently. With a single thought, Long Yi controlled his life and death. If Long Yi wanted him to die, there was nothing he could do about it.
“Subordinate Ha Lei pays respect to master.” Ha Lei respectfully greeted Long Yi.
“Hereafter, call me Young Master. First things first, sit down and tell me all about the dark forces behind Long Zhan.” Long Yi indifferently said. He didn’t have joy on his face as his intuition told him that Ha Lei still had a number of hidden secrets on him. He also didn’t believe that Ha Lei had given him control over his soul for such a lousy reason. The only reason Long Yi accepted Ha Lei’s soul was because he was unable to understand Ha Lei’s intentions completely. Long Yi wanted to buy some time in order for him to dig out all of Ha Lei’s secrets.
After Ha Lei thanked him, he sat on the sofa and began to talk about the origin, as well as the objective of the dark forces behind Long Zhan.
