Demon King's Repayment - chapter 96

After a trip to Dingzhou where she met the cultivators, she realized that the apostle’s contract was not as beautiful as she imagined. It could be said to be an extremely unequal master-servant contract. Once signed, as a master, she could almost wantonly insult and manipulate her apostles.
Even so, the simple Wu Yuan, Li Yu and Nan He, who had always been arrogant and indifferent, all willingly agreed to such a rude request.
Yuan Xiang was touched in her heart. She always thought she was a good master as she cared for and loved her apostles wholeheartedly. But now, with Nan He’s long hair twisted in her hand, she knew that behind her little favors, these simple friends gave her their freedom, dignity and trust as heavy as a mountain.
“What’s the matter?” Nan He saw the hesitation in Yuan Xiang’s eyes and he slowly stood up, “If you don’t want me…”
Something bulged out of his head and a pair of hairy ears appeared, drooping softly as he turned to walk outside.
“Hey, Xiao Nan, don’t go!” Yuan Xiang recovered and quickly took his arm, looked at the wronged Nan He, a little bit dumbfounded, “Listen to me, Xiao Nan, it’s not what you think.”
If Wu Yuan was a child who grew up in love, cheerful, lively, straightforward and sincere, Nan He was a sensitive and introverted man. He was not good at expressing his emotions and easily denied himself. He even wrapped up all his spikes and only turned inward toward her. Even if his heart had been pierced, he didn’t want to be seen by others.
If it were not for a pair of uncontrollable ears that would often betray him, it might not be so easy to distinguish the rich and sensitive emotions in his heart from that cold and indifferent face for Yuan Xiang.
With his character, he took the initiative to say the words of the bond. How much struggle he must have gone through?! She couldn’t make him sad.
“I want to change this array, Nan He.” Yuan Xiang explained, “Remove the content of restraint and punishment in it, leaving only the role of mutual spiritual communication and mutual perception of each other’s safety. Let it become an equal contract between a human and a demon.”
“Why… why do you want this?”
“I didn’t know much before, but now I know. How can I let you make such an unreasonable contract because of me?” Yuan Xiang looked around and made sure that Wu Yuan and Li Yu were not there and started to coax Nan He cheekily, “I like Xiao Nan the most, so how can I be unwilling to make a bond with you? When I change the array to a good level, we will immediately make a bond, okay?”
If it were a stranger, it didn’t matter what kind of contract she made. But for people who were good to her, Yuan Xiang just wanted to be doubly good to them.
Nan He did not speak, but turned his face to one side. On that handsome side face, his eyelashes were drooping and his lips slightly opened several times. And there was a slight upward tilt at the corner of his mouth. He smiled so shallowly, but Yuan Xiang followed with joy.
When Ru Shi came out carrying a basket of clothes, she saw Yuan Xiang sitting alone at the stone table in the courtyard, biting her pen and writing and drawing on a pile of manuscript paper.
“Xiang’er, did you see Xiao Nan? It seems like something is not right.” Ru Shi shook her clothes and hung them on the rope, “I just came out and saw him squatting in the hallway. His ears were red. I wanted to find out if he had a fever, but he ran fast.”
“Oh. He… he’s okay,” Yuan Xiang smiled happily.
Xiao Nan was so happy. After she succeeds, she would change the contract with Wu Yuan and Li Yu.
Yes, it should be done. She thought excitedly.
It was just that it was a bit difficult. If the Master was still at home, it would be fine, as she could ask him for advice. Master’s relationship with Thiazhi and Xiqu was so good, maybe they had the same thoughts as her.
The sound of firecrackers echoed everywhere.
On the eve of New Year, there was a fine snow. Ru Shi and Yuan Xiang set up a table for dinner and placed them under the fence. They spread blankets, set up a brazier and warmed a pot of wine. The two of them watched the firecrackers while watching the snow in the courtyard.
In front of Ru Shi, Yuan Xiang respectfully bowed down according to the local etiquette, thanking her for her care over the past year.
“Come here, this is for you,” Ru Shi handed Yuan Xiang a red envelope.
“Thank you Madam,” Yuan Xiang answered with a grin.
“This is for Nan He.” Ru Shi took out another one and placed it in front of Nan He’s little paw, “Xiao Nan is the first to come to our house. Since he came, the house has become more lively.”
Nan He hesitated, stretched out his foot and stepped on the red envelope.
Wu Yuan rushed up to the eaves and slid in front of Ru Shi.
“Meow, meow?”
“Of course, our Wu Yuan is indispensable,” Ru Shi smiled and handed out a small red envelope, letting Wu Yuan take it away in his mouth.
Then she stood up, carried the small swing of the cotton robe, walked to the front of Li Yu’s cabin and placed the last red envelope in front of the cabin.
In fact, when she walked down the steps of the eaves, Li Yu trot all the way and followed her feet.
“Happy New Year, Li Yu,” Ru Shi said.
The invisible Li Yu made a series of cooing sounds at her.
Although they couldn’t communicate with each other, it did not hinder their mutual love and happiness.
After dividing the red envelopes, Ru Shi went into the house to rest in advance.
“You can’t drink too much.” Before leaving, she explained to Yuan Xiang, “If your master was here, he would not have let you drink at your age.”
“As long as you agree, Master will,” Yuan Xiang said with a grin.
