Chapter 6 - The Blood Contract (2/2)

Their soul link is forged when they made their silent promises with each other. He can't believe himself luring her to this deception, but he is happy. He doesn't care about the consequences it may create, as the only thing that is important to him is that day.

He gently smiles at her. He controls himself not to kiss her cherry lips and thinks he probably should wait for this little girl to grow up. So until then, he really should insist on being her 'big brother.' He can always protect her if she is close to his side.

The little Vermillion Bird is watching from afar. She can't believe the proud Divine Lord she once knew just drew his blood for this young girl. He even entered a blood contract with her.

This elusive Divine Lord treated this girl differently. If Vermilion didn't witness the whole scenario, she would never believe it herself.

”Does this little girl even know what she did with the Divine Lord Foeni? How could that sly Ancient deceive the little girl to a blood contract?! I never thought he could be so shameless.”

Blood Contracts are like engagement or marriage between two individuals. It links two souls together as they engage in this act.

It is a sacred contract between two parties, and it draws out and mixes their blood in the process. It is done with consent from both parties, but he seems to have neglected this concept and started to exploit the girl's innocence.

What can she do against this crazy Lord? The little girl is even wholeheartedly defending him. She could only concede as she heavily sighs.

She thought that she would end up a villain who doesn't want the evil lord to get his beloved princess once she decides to interfere.

After the long staring scene, he finally found the courage to break the silence between them. He slowly releases Eu's hand and returns the knife to her. He chuckles and points his finger to the beautifully crafted long sword in front of them.

”It's finally done. Do you want to check out it?”

She finally snapped back to reality. She quickly turns away to hide her flushed face as she decides to examine the sword before her.

She is too embarrassed to utter anything. She wanted to kick herself out of embarrassment, but she pushes out the thought away. Instead, she decided to focus her attention on the beautifully crafted sword in front of her.

She picks up the sword and surprises how light it is. The Divine Lord wasn't kidding how fairy dust can make the weapon light.

Upon closer inspection, the sword emits a faint a prism glow and purplish hue. There is also a purplish flame design and some ancient writings engraved into the blade.

The handle is perfect, even for her small hands to hold. She is satisfied as she can't contain her enthusiasm. She felt all giddy inside as she excitedly skipped away to an open space in the courtyard. After a few deep breaths, she started using the exquisitely crafted blade.

Her graceful movements resemble a sword dance performance. Her dress flutters as she moves around. The shapeshifting sword transforms into any weapon she desires as soon as she thought of the command; long sword, short sword, whip, pole, scythe, dagger, and even to a bow and crossbow.

The shapeshifting sword can turn to any weapon she desires. Eu is proficient in using different weapon types, and this is a very convenient weapon for her. She is a master of learning things, probably thanks to her photographic memory. Or was it more of, she has long known them, and she is just refreshing her memory?

After testing the weapon, she flicked the sword down, and it transformed into a beautiful ring with a phoenix design placed on her right-hand ring finger. She is somewhat curious why it seems like a wedding ring but decided to ignore it.

She is quite satisfied as she looks at Divine Lord, who is patiently waiting and watching her. His gaze is not leaving her as he can't help but smile.

'She is really magnificent...'

The Divine Lord is somehow relieved and disappointed why she didn't inquire about it. Though, he doesn't know how he will explain himself if she does.

She thanked him wholeheartedly for his help and genuinely smiled at him. He is exhausted, but seeing her expression has filled his heart with warmth and satisfaction. In the end, he made her happy, so it is worth it.

”Anything to make you happy...” he calmly responds as he pats her head.

He flicked his sleeve, and a table set full of cuisines appears before them. They didn't have a decent meal during the process, so they need to have a proper meal before heading out. He doesn't remember exactly when he started to care so much, but it gives him satisfaction to see her smile.

”Let's eat before we head out. I am famished.”
