She doesn't remember anything yet, and if he really frightens her, it would be a loss for him.

However, once Wen Ze withdrew, Yan Li began to push his luck.

She coughed lightly first, then adjusted her clothes, and tentatively began to speak:

"Can I interpret what the lord just said as meaning that regardless of whether I can break the evil witch's curse, the lord will not put my life in any danger?"

Wen Ze hadn't expected Yan Li to say those words. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he softly replied:

"nature."

Wen Ze wasn't oblivious to Yan Li's purpose in asking that question, but he didn't care about her implied manipulation of him.

After all, it was his feelings for her that were unclear, and he even had more ulterior motives than he intended.

Yan Li was clearly terrified of being tricked. "Will our agreement remain valid indefinitely? What if you want to back out halfway through...?"

The room was lit with a soft yellow light, which should have eased tension, but at this moment, Wen Ze under the light made Yan Li feel uneasy and on guard.

She didn't know how long Wen Ze had lived, but she didn't believe he was the kind of person who would fall in love at first sight.

Simply put, she must have something he wants or something of value to him.

"No." Wen Ze's tone was unusually serious. He slowly squatted down, looking Yan Liping in the eye, and said, word by word:

"Yan Li, this agreement will remain valid forever unless I die."

Outside the castle, a clap of thunder suddenly rang out, followed by heavy rain and a strong wind.

At this moment, the line between dreams and reality seems to be blurred.

The two people inside the room remained silent.

After what seemed like an eternity, Wen Ze finally moved, pulling the blanket from the side and covering Yan Li with it again.

"It's very late, Ah Yan should go to sleep first."

Yan Li's mind was far from calm; in fact, it was in turmoil. She thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but the blanket covering her seemed to possess some kind of magic.

Soft and with a faint fragrance, it put her at ease, and before long, she fell asleep again.
