City A.
Outside the Su residence.
Xiao Jin followed Ah Li's trail and found his way here.
The gates of the Su residence were tightly shut, and no one was on duty.
Xiao Jin's face showed obvious fatigue, but his eyes were still as sharp as knives.
Along the way, he discovered that Ahri seemed to know he was following her and deliberately left her trail, keeping him just one step away from her.
He had also heard quite a few rumors about the eldest daughter of the Su family.
Some say she's a living Yama, capable of taking lives with a mere laugh or curse.
Some say she's crazy, extremely ruthless, and no one can guess what she'll do next.
Xiao Jin dismissed all of this as rumors. His Ahri was so wonderful, not at all like the rumors suggested.
At this moment, Xiao Jin wanted to go up and knock on the door.
The sounds of armored vehicles, horses' hooves, and rolling wheels could be heard from not far away.
A carriage followed behind, and in front rode a masked man on a tall horse.
A flag was planted on the carriage behind the man in the iron mask, with the character 'Su' on it fluttering in the wind.
The carriage was also extremely ornate, with beaded curtains hanging around it.
Xiao Jin looked up at the carriage and saw Ah Li, dressed in black, sitting sideways inside. She was looking at him with a slight smile in her eyes.
Xiao Jin also smiled and looked at Ah Li.
Soon, the carriage stopped outside the Su residence.
The gates of the Su residence were opened from the inside, and a line of masked men waited for the people in the carriages to alight.
Ah Li didn't get out of the carriage. She leaned lazily against the carriage window, tilting her head to look at Xiao Jin, "You're here."
"Um."
Xiao Jin took two steps forward and reached out his hand to help Ah Li off the carriage.
Ah Li didn't reach out to Xiao Jin. She looked at him meaningfully and said slowly, "Do you need help? Whether you want money or people, I can help you, but there are conditions."
Xiao Jin frowned. He didn't want to involve Ah Li; he wanted to take revenge on his own.
While Xiao Jin frowned and did not answer, Ah Li jumped down from the carriage in dissatisfaction and landed on Xiao Jin.
Even though it happened suddenly, Xiao Jin still held the person steadily in his arms and said, "Be careful."
Ahri said nonchalantly, "Anyway, you'll hug me."
The next second, Ahri smelled an unpleasant odor on Xiao Jin. She pinched her nose and said with disgust, "You smell terrible. Put me down."
He endured wind and rain along the way, never stopping for a moment in order to catch up with her, so it was normal for him to have some body odor.
However, hearing Ah Li's disdain, Xiao Jin felt extremely helpless, and he looked at Ah Li with doting affection.
Because, although she complained, she was unwilling to let go of his legs, which were wrapped around his waist.
Ah Li didn't want to linger outside any longer, so she asked Xiao Jin to carry her back to the mansion.
Xiao Jin agreed.
The masked men standing guard to one side remained expressionless.
Is this the guest the master is going to receive?
No.
The master's fun has arrived.
?
In the main courtyard of the Su residence.
Xiao Jin took off his clothes and took a bath behind the screen.
The bathing area was hidden by a screen.
Ahri sat outside the screen.
There were also many maids going in and out of the room, carrying food.
Some people carried hot water behind the screen and poured it into the large bathtub.
Ah Li had already changed her clothes, and she even told Xiao Jin to make sure she was clean.
Xiao Jin looked at the clear hot water in the large bathtub, but he still obediently continued to soak.
Ah Li rested her chin on her hand and said to Xiao Jin behind the screen, "Do you have nowhere to go now?"
Xiao Jin replied, "Mm."
Ah Li curled her lips into a smile, "Then you can work for the Su family, for a period of time..."
"A lifetime, I hope it's a lifetime."
Xiao Jin interrupted Ah Li before she could finish speaking.
Ahri laughed out loud with great pleasure, "You said it yourself, let's draw up a contract."
As soon as he finished speaking, a roll of parchment appeared in front of Xiao Jin.
In this world, every powerful family possesses an ability that ordinary people do not have: 'Spiritual Abilities'.
The term "soul magic" encompasses a wide range of things, including common elements such as Chinese Kung Fu, Yin and Yang, talismans, and summonable superpowers.
However, not everyone can possess a 'Soul of Magic'.
Instead, it appears randomly in the direct bloodline of each family, and there are also unexpected inheritances, which can make the 'Soul Technique' become the strongest.
Otherwise, 'Soul Technique' is quite useless.
The contract on the parchment scroll that appeared was what Ah Li and Xiao Jin had just mentioned: to work for the Su family for a lifetime.
Xiao Jin signed without hesitation.
After Xiao Jin's name was written on the parchment scroll, the scroll slowly turned into starlight. Instead of dissipating, it gradually gathered into a beam of light, which landed between Xiao Jin's eyebrows, forming a red dot.
Xiao Jin felt a sudden clarity in his mind, but before he could fully process it, Ah Li called him to get up and eat.
The Su family's "Spiritual Art" is to summon a parchment scroll and make a contract with a person.
Once the contract is made, it can never be betrayed.
Furthermore, once a contract is signed, even if someone is torn apart by five horses and their bones are crushed to ashes, as long as the master does not die, they can be brought back to life.
When Xiao Jin emerged from behind the screen, he was only wearing a white undergarment, which he hadn't put on properly, and water droplets could be seen sliding down his muscular chest.
Ali's eyes lit up, and she teased, "Wow, it's washed pretty clean."
Xiao Jin was a little embarrassed. This was the first time he had ever seen Ah Li like this. He quickly walked to the table and sat down.
