Marrying the Soft-hearted Villain

Even under such situation, Yuan Jue’s capability to fight was still well over Level 4.

Over time, with sufficient spiritual energy, she wasn’t entirely sure that she could take him.

And, if she couldn’t, then capturing Yuan Jue live would be entirely out of the question.

Qing Ruyi even wondered whether Yuan Jue was a child from some demon king, being so strong and everything.

One way or another, she knew that she would not be able to capture Yuan Jue live by herself.

She would rather hatch her bet on Ruan Qiuqiu and Yuan Jue rather than her master who had placed the demonic spell on her, slaughtered many, and been lying to her for years.

Qing Ruyi took a look at Mo Bugui from a distance and smiled at Ruan Qiuqiu. With melancholy in her voice, she said to her, “Too bad Brother Mo said that if I follow through with it, he will never forgive me even if that means he gets to live.”

As Qing Ruyi talked, she sliced herself on her wrist a little and blood, that of not-so-fresh color, spun in midair and formed into a strange symbol.

Peculiar noises came out of her and Ruan Qiuqiu could sell spells in front of her. By the time she had recollected herself, there was a flash of light on her wrist and the single-sided contract from Qing Ruyi had been formed.

The content of the contract also appeared in her head.

From this point forward and into the future, Grandma Ruyi would not try to hurt the two of them again. In fact, she would help them avoid her master.

On the other hand, Ruan Qiuqiu must do whatever within her power to assist Grandma Ruyi in removing the spell placed on her before the demon turned into demon king and discovered everything.

The price that both parties had to pay were also clearly listed.

Grandma Ruyi would pay with her life if she betrayed.

Ruan Qiuqiu must promised that should she fail to remove the spell, she would immediately run off with Yuan Jue, bringing with them Xiao Miao, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Bohe.

Ruan Qiuqiu was stupefied when she finished reading the contract.

She had planned to offer a lot more but she hadn’t expected such a contract from Grandma Ruyi. All that was asked of her was just an empty promise.

“Quickly confirm it with your blood.” Qing Ruyi changed the subject when she saw the surprised look on Ruan Qiuqiu. “I am not sure how long we can keep this from the demon. I am thinking three months at most.”

The warm sunlight ran alongside the clouds and casted into Qing Ruyi’s light-brown eyes. She turned toward Ruan Qiuqiu and smiled. “If you like Grandma, you should quickly cultivate and become stronger. You had told me to bet on you and Yuan Jue’s future, right?”

Looking at Grandma Ruyi, Ruan Qiuqiu slowly made up her mind.

She was never an indecisive one. Seeing that Grandma Ruyi had already had her mind made up, she would always remember what Grandma Ruyi had done for them. She took a deep breath and sliced open her palm.

Her blood dropped onto the contract and their contract had been established.

***

Seeing that the last bit of stuff inside of Grandpa Mo’s cave had been removed, Tian Xiu, who had finally finished with his physical labor, caught sight of Ruan Qiuqiu who had just finished talking with Grandma Ruyi and smacked himself on his own head. He finally remembered now –

He thought that little human had looked familiar. Wasn’t her the big gray wolf’s wife?

Last time when he delivered stuff to the Yuan Jue and Ruan Qiuqiu, owing to the pressure from said wolf, he never did get a good look at Ruan Qiuqiu.

Now that he had run into her, he wondered whether he should ask about his “friend’s” wellbeing.

When the eagle was hesitating, Ruan Qiuqiu had already noticed that he was looking at her. She greeted him with a smile, “Tian Xiu.”

Tian Xiu, “… …”

Xiao Bohu, who had been helping out with the move, said, “Sister Qiuqiu, you know Brother Eagle?”

Ruan Qiuqiu, “… …” Brother Eagle? Hold it in. Hold it in. This one of Mr. Gray Wolf’s very few friends. She shouldn’t laugh.

“He’s a friend of big sister’s husband,” said Ruan Qiuqiu to Xiao Bohe while trying to hold back her laugh. She then looked over at Tian Xiu and asked quizzically. “How come you didn’t return to the tribe, Brother Eagle?”

“I ran into two young bears in the forest and thought I’d go and help out a little……” said Tian Xiu. Unable to go on talking, he sighed.

Grandpa Mo, who had always been a man of few words, chimed in for a change and explained to her the Winter Bear Tribe’s current situation.

After she had finishing listening, Ruan Qiuqiu thought for a little bit and said, “I have some extra herbs at home. Why don’t one of you come back with me and pick them up?”
