Chapter 7: Contractual Husband and Wife

  The next day, Su Mo slowly opened his eyes, and a strong sense of fatigue surged out like a fountain.

  She felt extremely exhausted, unusually lethargic, as if she needed to sleep for three days and three nights to be satisfied. The contract made with the blood of both parties seemed to have drained her energy.

  But her mind was clearer than ever, knowing she couldn't sleep.

  Next, she must act according to her own plan, and this time, she will not allow Mu's family to get away with it.

  Thinking of this, Su Mo fetched a bucket of clear water and placed it in the house.

  The girl with a faded blue dress and braided hair slowly waded into the water.

  Inside the bucket, she casually stretched out a slender and fair jade leg, gently stirring the pink flower petals.

  Although her face was a changed appearance, the skin below her neck still shone with a crystal luster, and the flower petals in the water added three points of charm to her, three points of enchantment.

  It has to be said that the scene before us is a picturesque beauty that painters yearn to see. The soft, hazy light shines in, like a beautiful painting, and the girl's legs can be said to be one of the most beautiful parts of a woman's body. Petals fall from her slender ankles to her long, white, smooth calves, slowly slipping into the bucket at the end of her thighs. This scene is filled with endless beauty and imagination. As the girl slowly rises from the water, her curves are perfect, her waist is slender and soft, her skin is as beautiful as jade, and even the water droplets cannot condense on it.

  She exudes an enchanting aura that captivates the world, as if a celestial fairy from the ninth heaven had descended to the mortal realm, her beauty is overwhelming, reaching the ultimate.

  Just as Su Mo was about to get up and change her clothes, she glanced sideways and saw that something strange had suddenly appeared on her bed.

  She narrowed her eyes, and suddenly remembered that was where she had placed the heavenly book last night.

  Furrowing his brow slightly, Su Mo immediately sat back down in the wooden barrel.

  But then, from under the quilt, a figure slowly emerged, gradually taking shape. First, a head of black hair appeared, followed by a handsome face. The beautiful young man slowly sat up, revealing his snow-white neck. The crimson flame tattoo on his neck made his skin look even more radiant and luminous. Although his eyes didn't have the same emptiness as they did last night, they still held a distant and faintly cold glint.

  The young man in front of him was handsome and elegant, with a hint of mystery hidden behind his proud demeanor, which was indeed attractive.

  However, when the young man saw Su Mo clearly in front of him, his proud face remained indifferent without any expression.

  Although this world does not have a great distinction between men and women, after all, there is a difference between men and women. This kind of meeting is really against etiquette.

  The young man surprisingly didn't show any signs of avoiding suspicion, and gradually, his gaze revealed three parts mockery and seven parts disdain.

  After a while, the young man's expression turned stern, his chin slightly raised, and he coldly stared at Su Mo, saying: "Ugly woman, what do you want?"

  "What?" Su Mo was taken aback.

  "Last night, you threw yourself at me without saying a word, and shamelessly made a life-and-death contract with me. Those things are still tolerable, but what's even more infuriating is that you bathed and changed clothes in front of me! What do you want? Are you fond of bewitching men or something?" The young man's ink-like eyes stared at her coldly.

  Su Mo blinked and immediately understood his true intention.

  He actually thought he was doing it on purpose!

  She couldn't help but laugh and said with a smile: "It's just a pity that you can see it, but can't touch it."

  The young man caught her implication and his eyes flashed.

  He expression still arrogant said: "Ugly woman, since you are so shameless, this young master naturally also does not respect you. This young master's body has not fully recovered yet, but even when it does, I will absolutely not touch you once, and looking at you one more time is a waste."

  Su Mo's mouth corners slightly curled up, "Alright! Let's consider this our gentleman's agreement."

  Gentleman's agreement? The young man snorted, "It's really ugly people being suspicious!"

  The water in the bucket gradually cooled down, and suddenly Su Moyu's fingers lightly lifted a snow-white sheet from beside her body. Her ten fingers lightly plucked it, and the sheet flew out like snowflakes covering the beautiful young man's body, blocking his line of sight completely. In an instant, she jumped up, splashing water everywhere, while saying: "Even if you think I'm shameless and despicable, after all, I'm still a maiden who hasn't married yet. Please don't look at me improperly, now this young lady is going to change her clothes."

  Su Mo's body moved as fast as a white snake, his figure flashed and he quickly hid behind the screen.

  At the same time, the young man's eyes flickered slightly, and it was unclear whether the white shirt in front of him seemed to be nothing, or his body was like an illusion.

  The needle had completely passed through his body and slowly fell onto the couch.

  Su Mo quickly changed into a long dress that accentuated her figure, covering it with a loose-fitting outer garment to modestly conceal her perfection.

  When she was dressed up, stroking her wildly beating chest, she let out a soft sigh and walked out slowly.

  Just saw the young man's tall figure floating in mid-air, standing with his hands behind his back.

  It's said that there is no more rustling sound in the air, a proud and beautiful young man slanted his eyes, with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, "It's actually quite fast."

  Of course, Su Mo didn't have the habit of being casual in front of men. The young man glanced at the girl without leaving any trace, and still said with a proud expression: "Woman, from now on, we should talk about some serious matters. Since we have already made a life-and-death contract, we will benefit each other, share the same fate, and rise and fall together. Naturally, there is no need for courtesy, so I want to propose some basic conditions to you."

  "What's the basic condition?" Su Mo raised an eyebrow.

  "Not bad, this young master can't just make a contract with you for nothing. Moreover, my status is noble and extraordinary, not something that someone like you can imagine. This young master requires the best things, I love the most exquisite and unique food in the world, the finest vintage wine, the most luxurious and soft bedding... These are the best things in the world, you should get them for me." The youth looked at her with a commanding expression, as if he was still resentful of Su Mo's humble background.

  "I think you're mistaken, young master." Su Mo still smiled gently.

  "Wrong? Why?" The young man slanted his eyes at her.

  "Firstly, I am not your subordinate. Secondly, I don't have that much money. I'm just a woman of humble means, without any assets. Even if I did have some, wouldn't you feel ashamed to take a woman's belongings?"

  "Ugly woman, you've made a contract with me, and it's you who's gotten an enormous advantage."

  "It's natural!" Su Mo hooked up his lips, without denying it.

  "Hmph, I am a true recluse, proficient in various exquisite techniques, and familiar with the treasures of the three realms. Silver and money are nothing but the most mundane things in the three realms. The conditions I set are not high, let alone that I would never take advantage of a woman." The young man glanced at her sideways, and snorted again.

  Su Mo smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly either."

  The young man raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"

  Su Mo spoke softly: "As long as you wait a few more days, I have other things to attend to for now."

  Young man said: "Alright! The Xuanji Heavenly Book is a treasure, you take good care of it and bring it with you wherever you go."

  At this moment, Su Mo glanced back at the Xuanji Heavenly Book, which was still a thin page of golden paper.

  She put away the heavenly book, turned her back, and inserted it into the lining of her light blue belly pocket, carrying it close to her body.

  Sensing the location of her hidden heavenly book, a suspicious red glow flashed across the young man's handsome face.

  She thought that one day she would definitely go in and out, this woman was indeed thick-skinned! However, Su Mo felt that the heavenly book was actually unbreakable, and placing it on her chest was even better than a protective mirror, it was one of her means of survival.

  At this moment, Su Mo had her back to him and was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, gently combing her raven hair with a sandalwood comb. Her three thousand strands of black silk fell across her chest as she said softly, "In the future, when you want to come out, remember to use your divine sense to explore your surroundings first. Don't rush out like you did this morning, or don't blame me for not being polite!"

  The young man immediately let out a soft hum, knowing he was in the wrong.

  He thought he had been resting in Tiān Shū for a long time and rarely left, the outside was also empty, of course, he didn't bother to use his divine sense to explore.

  Su Mo glanced at him sideways, her eyes scanning him with a unique charm. However, when the young man saw her reflection in the mirror, he was slightly startled and looked at the girl with some disbelief: "So your true appearance is like this?"

  "Not bad, this is my true appearance." Su Mo slowly turned his head around, facing him directly, with a hint of an absolutely beautiful smile at the corner of his lips.

  "It's nothing much, barely passable!" The young man crossed his arms and tilted his head to the side, humming softly again.

  It was clearly a look of insincerity, and Su Mo couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

  The young man turned his gaze and said indifferently: "Your appearance is also attractive to bees and butterflies, why not hide it?"

  Su Mo's mouth curved into a faint smile as he slowly said, "When it's time to conceal myself, I naturally won't reveal my true self. However, if I were to encounter a man with an exceptionally strong divine sense, no matter how well I hide, they would still be able to see through my disguise and discern my true appearance. Just like you can see that I'm a purely yin-bodied person, let alone my actual face? As long as anyone with a divine sense can see it, isn't that right?"

  The young man's expression immediately became somewhat uncomfortable, and he turned his eyes away, his gaze not falling on her.

  Last night, he used his divine consciousness to see that she was a pure yin body, but he never looked at her face. Thinking about it now, it's really a mistake.

  Soon Su Mo was dressed and had put on his cloak, and he quietly made his way outside.

  The young man also said: "Where are you going?"

  Su Mo turned his head and smiled, "Let's go take a look at the song and dance troupe. Since you like to enjoy yourself, I'll take you to see the most popular and stunning beauty."

  The young man's face revealed a look of discontent and disdain, his hands clasped behind his back as he let out a soft snort: "I've never been fond of watching plays, you woman are truly indulging in frivolity, lacking ambition, content with the status quo, without grand aspirations. If you want to go to the theater, it's better to cultivate yourself properly or go out and earn some money, then do something meaningful. How can you help me take revenge if you continue on like this?"

  "Revenge?" Su Mo chuckled, "This isn't an empty phrase. If you can't even handle the person yourself, how could I possibly help you so easily."

  "So this young master never wanted to make a contract with you in the first place."

  "It's too late now, young master."

  Su Mo took two steps forward, suddenly stopped and turned around, saying: "However, since we have made a contract, I think you will not regret it in the future."

  When she spoke, her eyebrows and eyes were surprisingly calm and steady, the expression on her face became dignified and solemn, without a hint of coquetry, only with confident composure, as if a precious gemstone was radiating pure white luster.

  The young man looked at Su Mo again, his eyes paused for a moment, and he couldn't help but re-examine her.

  He slowly remembered what his ancestors had said: when looking at things, one cannot just look at the surface; sometimes ordinary pebbles can also hide precious jade.

  But the young man has seen countless sharp and elegant figures in his family, and he has also seen stubborn and incompetent people. A gem hidden among stones, one in ten thousand.

  The woman in front of him, whether she was sinister or shamelessly humble, gave him a feeling that he had always found difficult to fathom.

  But is she an unyielding rock or an unpolished jade?

  The boy felt that there was little hope.

  But he would rather be the latter.
