The little demon held up the life and death contract with trembling hands, and warned again with a trembling voice: "Once you sign this life and death contract, your life and death will no longer be in your own hands!"

Lan Ziye didn't bother to pay any more attention to the nagging little demon. She snatched the life and death contract, picked up the pen on the ground, and began to sign it with a flourish. She had practiced her penmanship for over two months, but she could only sign her own name. Unexpectedly, it would actually come in handy today.

Chu Xixuan took a look at Lan Ziye's signature and instantly frowned. This handwriting... is so ugly! -_-|||

After signing the life and death agreement, another little demon came and led Lan Ziye and Chu Xixuan into the archway.

Even after Lan Ziye and Chu Xixuan disappeared from the archway, the little demon who had signed up still hadn't recovered. He was stunned and said, "Is that really Mr. Chu? Mr. Chu being led around by a woman? ...And that woman even joined the arena?" The little demon reacted and was terrified. "This is over! This is bad luck! I have to go home and pack my bags and be ready to run away at any time!"

Lan Ziye and Chu Xixuan entered the arena and found a place to sit not far from the stage. Lan Ziye looked around and saw only burly, ferocious monsters. Not a single one even remotely resembling a human. He couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Good-looking monsters don't do this kind of thing?"

"This is a competition among the demon race, maybe you can let Xiaobai play!" Chu Xixuan suggested.

Lan Ziye gave Chu Xixuan a blank look, too lazy to talk to him.

Xiaobai couldn't stand it anymore, it meowed and replied: "Don't worry, my master is stronger than you think!" Just kidding, it has no right to interfere when its master is fighting.

The rules of this arena competition are simple and straightforward. Players enter in the order they register, and the fight continues until the opponent is forced to surrender or killed. The winner can choose to continue fighting or rest. If they choose to continue fighting, another challenger will enter the arena in the order they register. If they choose to rest, their name will be placed behind all other contestants and they will wait for the next round of competition.

This cycle continues until there is only one contestant left on the stage.

Monsters are inherently ferocious. If there's a huge disparity in strength, one move will kill them; if the strength is equal, several moves will kill them. No winner will give the loser a chance to beg for mercy, so the battle is straightforward and efficient.

In less than an hour, it was Lan Ziye's turn.

Lan Ziye lifted her skirt and stepped onto the ring in her awkward high heels.

Seeing that it was a woman wearing a dress and high heels, the burly man who had won three rounds in a row in the ring was delighted. He looked at Lan Ziye with contempt and said sarcastically, "Little girl, have you come to the wrong place?"

Lan Ziye raised the corner of his mouth and said coldly: "Go ahead!"

"Hey! You're quite courageous!" The burly man laughed, then sizing up Lan Ziye with a lustful look and said, "You're quite pretty. How about this, little girl, if you feel like I'm hitting you too hard and it hurts, just call me 'good brother' and I'll go a little easier, okay?"

Below the ring, Chu Xixuan, whose face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot, suddenly stood up and rushed to the ring without saying a word. This audacious guy actually dared to tease his woman. He was looking for death! (╰_╯)#

But just as he took a step forward with his long legs, a faint voice from a cat came from behind him: "The Essence Stone is very important to the master. The master must obtain it. If you try to sabotage it, I guarantee that the master will strangle you to death!"
