During the time when he fell into the underground river, Ash thought that the contract was really unfair. He felt sour and bitter in his heart and was extremely uncomfortable.
But Sigourney didn't think so at all, and even called herself a "stupid" for having such an idea.
Ash was called an idiot, but instead of getting angry, he swept away all his negative emotions and cheered himself up again.
He began to rack his brains to think about how to protect Sigourney and truly make up for Sigourney's fear of sunlight?
This can be achieved by using the contract. When his life is threatened, Sigourney can be exchanged with him, so that he will not be afraid of the sun.
If we can autonomously control the condition of "life being threatened", wouldn't we be able to control the timing of contract exchange at will?
In fact, Ash had a vague guess about this a long time ago. He was thinking, if he jumped from a high place or stabbed himself with a knife, would the contract judge him as dangerous and swap him with Sigourney?
Of course, he didn't neglect his body.
For example, when dancing, he would ask Yelena to watch him beside him.
If the contract senses danger and immediately replaces Sigourney into its own body, then Yelena will be of no use, and the "self" falling from a height will be able to fly up on its own.
He was just thinking about it at the time, and out of curiosity about how far the contract could go, he discussed his fantasy with Lord Nance.
But Lord Nance denied this approach.
"Two people are one." Lord Nance repeated what he had said before, "Ash, have you ever seen a person commit suicide with his left hand and then stop it with his right hand?"
Ash shook his head, realizing what Lord Nance meant.
The contract will not pay attention to self-harming crisis creation.
So in the basement of the Snow Demon's lair, Ash pondered over and thought, apart from creating a crisis by self-harm, is there any other way to deceive the contract and make it think it is in danger?
With questions in mind, he met Meng and listened to Meng talk about his proud Ball of All Things.
At that moment, a spark of inspiration burst into my mind.
Yes! That's it!
Simulate a dangerous environment, immerse yourself in it, and cheat the contract!
Ash, a good boy from Duogu Village, set up a scam targeting the contract.
And it worked!
Ash pulled Sigourney's long silver hair into his arms, squatted down in front of the low table made of ice and snow, and waved at Sigourney, as if he couldn't see Sigourney's livid face: "Eat it while it's hot! It's delicious, I promise!"
Sigourney stood still, her eyes dark.
But now he was facing Ash's gentle, handsome and harmless face. Even if his face was darker, he did not have one third of the strength of his original self.
Plus, when Ash looked at his face, it was really hard to be scared.
Therefore, Ash could still smile and stretch out his hand to reach Sigourney: "It's time for dinner! I must be very hungry."
Sigourney pressed her lips together: "So you said you had no appetite and couldn't eat at noon today?"
"Well... I can't eat." Ash blinked his dark red eyes, the dark and ominous color now showed a bit of clean and clear color, "I was so nervous about the experiment to be done tonight that I couldn't eat. I was worried that my idea was wrong and I couldn't cheat the contract."
He tilted his head slightly, looking up from below, the gentleness in his eyes hidden under his long eyelashes: "Do you think I deliberately didn't eat at noon so that you can eat more at night?"
Sigourney stiffened imperceptibly: "...Don't change the subject." He lowered his voice, but he could no longer find the terrible gloomy tone just now. "Do you know what you just did?"
"I know. I also know that Sigourney is worried about me." Ash remained in the same position, his eyes not moving away. "The scent of the wildfire snapping turtle suddenly appeared outside the tent. You must have been scared. You are worried that I would get hurt or eaten."
Sigourney deadpanned, "You're so shameless."
Ash curled his eyes, "Now it's your face."
He tugged at Sigourney's fingertips again: "It's getting cold, come and eat." He paused and whispered, "I'm sorry to have made you worry, but don't blame me for not telling you in advance, okay? Just treat it as a surprise?"
"Stupid child." Sigourney snorted barely noticeably, and did not pursue the matter any further. Like Ash, she squatted in front of the low table.
Why go to such lengths to cheat on the contract?
The answer is obvious.
For him.
Why didn't you discuss it with him and just conduct the experiment tonight without his permission?
The answer is also obvious.
A certain kid was worried that the experiment would fail, so he told him in advance that he would be disappointed, so he had to bear the tension and pressure of the experiment alone.
He first scooped up a spoonful of hot mushroom stew, held it in his mouth and swallowed it slowly. The gentle warmth went from the tip of his tongue to his stomach, which was just right for the freezing northern land.
"How is it?" Ash looked at him with wide eyes.
Sigourney took his second and third sips slowly, and after Ash looked at him eagerly for a long time, he said softly, "...very impressive."
The young man had been preparing all these in secret, and he had managed to hide it from him. He was really amazing.
Of course, the taste is also...
very good.
When asked about the taste, he was told it was great, so Ash accepted all of it, taking it as a compliment. After all, these dishes were really delicious.
"Try this." Ash pushed the food to Signe excitedly, "Don't worry about not being able to finish it. I have a potion that Brother Ivan gave me."
Sigourney's elegant eating motion paused for a second. The potion Ivan sent? What other potion could Ivan send?
He even prepared stomach medicine, which is so thoughtful that I want to beat him up!
Is this the image of a glutton in Ash's eyes?
Sigourney suddenly remembered the aftermath of the two body swaps in the past: “…” It seemed that both times, she “accidentally” ate too much.
This is a bit embarrassing.
But on second thought, since Ash has made sufficient preparations, in order to live up to his kindness, he should put the potion to use tonight.
The evil vampire found an excuse and began to sharpen his knife to eat the dishes.
After all, it is delicious and tastes better than the food I had eaten the previous two times.
His posture was pleasing to the eye, but his movements were fast, and the dishes on the table were decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Ash propped up his chin and looked at him, seeing his slightly curved eyes and unconsciously relaxed face... Perhaps even Sigourney herself didn't know how relaxed and satisfied his expression was when he was eating. It made people who watched him eat seem to feel the delicious taste of the food and suddenly have an appetite.
Ash sniffed, smelling the alluring scent coming from his body, and touched his hungry stomach...
Want to eat.
So after Sigourney finished dinner, Ash moved closer to Sigourney.
"Are you full?"
Sigourney, who was full and satisfied, nodded lazily.
"Can I have enough to eat, too?"
"no."
Ash sighed, "But I'm so hungry."
Sigourney glanced at him coldly: "Bear with it."
Ash pulled his fingertips again and whispered, "You can't stay out of the house without the food prepared by Lord Nance. Can you? If you don't want to suck blood, you can let me do it instead."
The voice of this body was cold and icy, but he made it seem warm: "I want to help you fill your stomach, Sigourney."
Sigourney was silent for a while, and when Ash thought he was about to agree, he raised his hand and poked Ash's cheek: "Aren't you full now?" As he spoke, he pouted as if he was dissatisfied with the feel of his hand and withdrew his hand.
Ash frowned. He was clearly talking about the vampire's body.
In that case...
Ash rushed over, grabbed Sigourney's hands, tied them behind her back, and held Sigourney in a hug.
He did the math in his head.
If he, who uses Sigourney's body, fights against Sigourney whose power is restricted by his body without using magic, he will definitely win.
So he wanted to bite his own body unexpectedly to fill the vampire's stomach.
Perhaps Sigourney didn't expect Ash to be so bold. Maybe she ate too much and her reaction was slow, so she was really caught by him.
Ash lowered his head and buried it in the crook of his neck. He was a little nervous and unskilled, and couldn't find the right position to bite down for a while.
After this delay, Sigourney finally reacted and tried to break free from Ash's hand with a dark face. However, after trying a few times, she realized that she was no match for Ash's strength - unless she ignored the upper limit of Ash's body and burst out all her strength.
"Hey..." Sigourney gritted his teeth, but before he could finish his words, another suspicious voice came from not far away -
"Hey...you guys, what is this?"
Meng stood a few steps away from them, looking at them in confusion.
In the blindfold, the scene looks like this:
"Sigourney" comes on strong.
"Ash" struggled to refuse.
"I say." Meng swallowed hard, "Sigourney, even if you are Ash's boyfriend, you have to consider the other party's wishes when doing something like this. Be considerate, understand?" Don't let a single guy like him teach you two young lovers what to do!
Ash, who was wearing the shell of Sigourney, raised his head silently and blushed: "Yeah."
Sigourney, who was suppressed by the ignorant brat, said: "...Heh."
Meng nodded, then realized the embarrassment of disturbing other people's good times, and coughed dryly: "I forgot to bring the gift I prepared for my friend, I came back to get it and leave, you guys...well, do whatever you want."
He took the things swiftly and left quickly again.
When Mon appeared, Ash relaxed his strength, allowing Sigourney to break free. Now he could no longer attack Sigourney by surprise. Although he was not as strong as Ash at the moment, Sigourney's magical attainments were much more advanced than Ash's.
"A sudden impulse? Was it premeditated?" Meng came and went. After a brief period of calm, Sigourney was no longer angry. Instead, she looked at Ash with a half-smile, "You are really getting bolder and bolder."
Ash felt guilty: "Hungry."
"Will you do this again in the future?"
Although he felt guilty, he still nodded honestly: "Yes." Ash said seriously, "You need to eat. If you don't eat, I will switch bodies next time and find a way to fill your stomach. If you don't let me bite myself, I will go to the wild and bite the neck of a wild beast."
Sigourney raised her eyebrows in curiosity. Is this... a threat?
It is still a threat that is meaningful and effective.
He narrowed his eyes, and suddenly chuckled, and sighed softly in his laughter as if to compromise: "I will bite you. I will bite you when I am hungry."
It's been bitten once, and the bottom line has been broken once.
At least in front of the teenager who broke his bottom line, he no longer had anything to hold on to.
