Immortal Creed
Chapter 179: Contract Construction
"Why would the Four Great Powers develop such a ritual that could pose a significant hidden danger to ordinary people?"
"From what I understand, they have always been committed to protecting ordinary people from harm. Could it be…?"
Liens expressed his doubts to Nimophila.
"At first, I didn't quite understand either. After asking my teacher, he gave me an answer."
"The Demon Disaster is approaching."
"And the number of Extraordinary Ones in this world is not enough to fully shelter everyone."
"It's even possible that we won't be able to defeat the Demon Disaster."
"Therefore, this ritual is needed to allow ordinary people to protect themselves using their own strength."
"Furthermore, elements filled with Life, which is to say 'popularity,' also seem to be one of the main forces against the Demon Disaster."
"As for how to fight it, I don't know."
"Of course, I also know what a multitude of life forces represents."
"Some people might, as a result, walk down the path of 'cannibalism,' especially those Extraordinary Ones whose lifespans are already short."
"But in the face of something like the Demon Disaster, which threatens the survival of civilization, this is already a minor issue."
Nimophila explained.
"Doesn't this world still have True Gods?"
"Could the Demon Disaster even threaten True Gods?"
Liens asked, somewhat puzzled.
"I don't know. I learned about the Demon Disaster from ancient texts."
"Only Gods and Legends probably know the true situation."
Nimophila shook her head, indicating she didn't know.
"Last question, would Dean Taylor do such a thing?"
Liens asked seriously.
"One of my duties here is to supervise the Dean."
"Although neither the Dean nor I have the authority to initiate Life extraction." Yоur suppоrt аt МV^LЕМР^YR kееps thе sеriеs gоing.
"But the Dean is, after all, a mage who has lived for nearly a hundred years, and his magical theory knowledge and practical ability are both excellent."
"That's why there's an insurance like me."
"And after I leave, the Life Truth Society or other powers will send someone to replace me."
"At first, both the Dean and I thought you were here to restore your Life origin and then take over from me after I left."
"After all, if you enjoy the benefits, you must also bear certain responsibilities."
"However, you are naturally not a member of the Four Great Powers, so the Dean and I turned a blind eye to you."
Nimophila continued to answer.
At this point, Nimophila even gave Liens an expression that seemed to say, "Aren't you going to thank me quickly?"
Liens naturally couldn't miss this expectant look, so he was tactful and expressed his gratitude to Nimophila.
"Thank you, Nimophila."
However, what Nimophila wanted seemed to be more than just this thanks.
"Simple words are far less sincere than actions… So I hope you can express your gratitude to me with actions."
"This is a false space formed by your abilities, like a dream, so I want to turn this dream into a different kind of beautiful dream."
"So, let's do something exciting."
"Anyway, it's a dream, so it's okay to be impulsive. Let me be the one to experience the first time, in place of the 'me' outside."
The more Nimophila spoke, the redder her face became, the lower her voice, and the heavier her breathing.
But in contrast, her gaze towards Liens became more naked, her eyes, as if drawing him in, seemed to want to devour him alive.
After speaking, Nimophila placed her hand on Liens's chest, stroking his firm muscles through his thin clothes.
"Hehe."
Nimophila chuckled.
The smile on her face made her look a bit like a pervert at this moment, as if Liens was the one being "bullied."
Seeing this, Liens didn't know whether to refuse or agree for a moment…
And while he hesitated, Nimophila pushed him onto the bed and then sat directly on his waist.
Feeling Liens's body react, Nimophila's face turned even redder, with shyness and excitement, and thinking of what was to come, she became even more 'aroused'.
"Aren't you worried that I won't keep my promise to you after I leave, or that the 'you' outside won't agree to that contract?"
Liens asked Nimophila, who was sitting on him.
"I trust you, and I believe she will make the same choice as me."
Nimophila replied with a smile.
…
Liens opened his eyes and looked at Nimophila, who was sneaking around, seemingly planning to reach for the untouchable area below him.
Noticing Liens's gaze, Nimophila awkwardly pulled her hand back.
After some internal struggle earlier, she still couldn't resist her curiosity and wanted to measure Liens's size with her own hand.
"Were you using some kind of 'dream ability' just now?"
To avoid further awkwardness, Nimophila immediately changed the subject, feigning curiosity as she asked Liens.
"Mm."
Liens nodded in response, then silently watched Nimophila.
Nimophila thought he was thinking about what had just happened, so she awkwardly asked again, "What's wrong?"
"I promised the 'you' in the dream a request. I want to ask what you really think?"
Liens said softly.
Just as he asked Nimophila at the end of the instance, he wondered if he should fulfill the request she made?
After all, he always separated the instance from reality; many times, the promises he made in the instance were like farts to him in reality, purely nonsense.
But this time, he didn't want to break this promise.
It had nothing to do with the contract; he just didn't want to deceive the girl who trusted him.
"What request?"
Nimophila looked at Liens in confusion.
"Are you willing to sign a 'Life' contract with me?"
Liens asked Nimophila seriously.
Upon hearing this, Nimophila's face instantly flushed, and she stammered, "Th-this… Is this a confession?"
"Perhaps… I suppose I'm taking a big advantage here. If you don't agree, then forget it."
Liens replied.
"Who said I don't agree? It's just that the surprise came too suddenly, and I hadn't quite reacted."
"Quick, give me your hand. I'm going to form the contract now."
Nimophila said eagerly, seemingly afraid that Liens would regret it later, and directly reached out and grabbed Liens's right hand.
Liens did not resist, silently watching her hold his hand, her expression changing from eager to solemn, as she murmured, like performing some vow or prayer.
A faint blue glow lit up where their clasped hands met, and quickly faded and disappeared.
Subsequently, Liens felt a special connection form between him and Nimophila.
He felt that Nimophila seemed to become more pleasing to the eye, with a strange sense of closeness.
"It seems she didn't tell me the full effects of the contract. This is probably also an influence of 'divinity'."
Liens thought to himself.
Despite this, he felt no dissatisfaction about being deceived by Nimophila.
At this moment, he didn't know if he was affected by the contract, or simply developed a fondness for Nimophila?
