In the small cabin.
Jiang Xuan stood before the transformed monster boy, looking at his meek and submissive demeanor. ‘Golden Spirit Cloud’ stepped forward and cupped his face, bursting into laughter:
“Ha! After all these years, my greatest wish has finally come true today!
Hmph, the supreme human? The strongest one? Turns out to be nothing more. In the end, he fell into my hands, becoming a submissive monster servant.”
Suddenly, ‘Golden Spirit Cloud’’s eyes slightly narrowed as she muttered to herself:
“Hang on, what are you doing? I haven’t started my revenge yet, just wait!”
“I won’t wait. This is my body, by the way, thank the Demon God for helping me remove that troublesome contract.
Oh, I’ll help you with your grudge against the Demon God later! Thank you very much, so let me take care of everything from now on.”
“Girl, being possessed by me should make you feel honored. Don’t worry; once I finish my revenge, I’ll return your body to you, and you can enjoy….”
“That’s not happening. He is also my enemy. Plus, I willingly allowed you to control me all along.
The Demon God can’t exceed Semi-Deity level power or attract celestial thunder. By coincidental magic, so did my soul. Thanks to you, my injuries were healed using Demon God power.
But let’s be clear, you’re still in my mind, and I’m the one in control. Demon God, please leave soon.
If I change my mind otherwise, I will have no choice but to instantly annihilate your soul!
Heh, creating a monster and granting him a Demon Spiritual Root is quite costly. Even the soul is weaker now.”
“Considering you freed me from the contract, I won’t trouble you. Just go.”
“Heehee, you’re a smart little Gold Dragon descendant, even I underestimated you.
Wait for me; soon, this Demon God will personally descend in front of you. Then, we won’t be done with this.
We… we’ll meet again!”
As her words faded away, a red mist flew out of ‘Golden Spirit Cloud’, disappearing instantaneously.
On the other side, Jiang Xuan was dumbfounded watching the scene.
From his perspective, ‘Golden Spirit Cloud’ kept talking to herself.
Until that red mist left, her aura changed once more.
At the same time, a clear and melodious voice rang out:
“Master, don’t worry; I’ve chased away that detestable Demon God.”
Jiang Xuan: “!!!”
Hearing this, Jiang Xuan slowly let out a sigh of relief.
He had thought he would be taken over by the Demon God… Phew… luckily, Golden Spirit Cloud regained control.
Once he regained his senses, Jiang Xuan wondered what to do next with his current appearance as a monster, knowing he had completely angered the ancient Demon God.
But joining the Monster Clan was no option.
It would only turn him into a tool for their emotions.
Back to reality, just as Jiang Xuan was about to ask how to become human again, something unexpected happened.
Right before him, ‘Golden Spirit Cloud’ looked mischievous.
She stepped forward and firmly grabbed Jiang Xuan’s wrists.
“Little Lingyun, what are you doing?”
“Shut up. You’re clearly not my master.
You’re just some male succubus who looks similar.
Daring to impersonate my master right in front of me, hehe, naughty kids get punished for lying.”
Jiang Xuan: “??????”
Listening to this puzzling speech, Jiang Xuan was stunned on the spot.
When did he become his own body double? Even blind lying can’t be this ridiculous.
Then, Jiang Xuan suddenly recalled that he felt the contract with ‘Golden Spirit Cloud’ had disappeared earlier.
This might be why she spoke so confidently.
Inside Jiang Xuan’s heart:
“So unfair, I finally settled the Demon God business, but there’s still a high-level opponent?
And she doesn’t confront directly, claiming loyalty while pretending to think I’m an imposter.
The situation… is too d*mn harsh!”
After understanding his current predicament, Jiang Xuan felt a slight sense of despair.
But outwardly, he kept hope alive, patently explaining:
“Lingyun, I genuinely am your master; I was transformed into this form by the Demon God…”
“Liar! How could a human transform into a monster, much less when the contract isn’t present…
So, you absolutely cannot be my master!
Quick, tell me where you hid my master, you tempting succubus!”
‘Golden Spirit Cloud’ squeezed Jiang Xuan’s jaw lightly while saying this.
“If you don’t reveal where my master is, you won’t leave. I’ll interrogate this fake master further!”
Jiang Xuan: “!!!”
Seeing this behavior, Jiang Xuan was totally dumbstruck.
Can dragons be this thick-skinned? This completely broke his perception.
Facing ‘Golden Spirit Cloud’s’ actions, Jiang Xuan couldn’t find a way to break free.
Obviously, from a look, any explanation seemed weak.
Noticing Jiang Xuan’s position, she declared boldly that he was an impostor.
Finally, Jiang Xuan sighed:
“Lingyun, you pretend to not recognize my face, aren’t you afraid I’ll retaliate later?”
“Why won’t you give up? Are you still trying to act like my master? What evidence do you have?”
Jiang Xuan: “…”
Looking at things going south, Jiang Xuan was beyond perplexed.
Self-proving spirals usually hide bigger traps. Once trapped, he’d be led by others. He wouldn’t be foolish enough to self-prove.
With no options left, Jiang Xuan decided to play along reluctantly.
“Okay okay, if you want to believe me, call me Jiang Xuan. The contract is canceled.”
Hearing this, ‘Golden Spirit Cloud’ squinted her eyes:
“How dare you talk back, falsely claiming to be my honored master?
Looks like I need to show you the real deal!”
With that, she cut off Jiang Xuan’s breath, shredding the remaining clothes.
Moments later, ‘Golden Spirit Cloud’ licked her lips mockingly:
“Hmm? You almost fooled me, but a counterfeit remains a counterfeit. You aren’t him…”
Jiang Xuan: “????”
Ignoring the insults, Golden Spirit Cloud proceeded with her ‘interrogation’.
Two hours later, Jiang Xuan’s resolve shattered:
“Y-Yes…you’re right, I’m not your master, please…let me go…”
“Oh, little succubus, you are…yielding now?
Nope, after such a short time, really? You were so confident earlier.
Those are old news, you can’t be my master, a succubus can’t be mine. Agree?”
Jiang Xuan: “…”
“Yes, that’s true, but I really don’t know where he is. You yourself said I just look similar; please, please, let me go….”
“Let you go when you admit to deceiving me? Not a chance!”
Jiang Xuan: “????”
Jiang Xuan’s inner thoughts:
“What a sneaky plan! Regardless of my admission, she has no intention of letting me go.
And she claims to be looking for her master by ‘questioning’ me.
This is bad; I have to hope Liu Yun shows up tomorrow to save me…..
Am I destined to endure this humiliation?
Lingyun’s injuries seem healed, is Liu Yun coming tomorrow to rescue me?”
Meanwhile, ‘Golden Spirit Cloud’ smiled with a hint of mockery.
“Succubus, though you tricked me earlier, I don’t hold grudges.
Seeing that you have appeal, albeit not as good-looking as my master.
To spare you from further interrogation, why not swear allegiance to me?”
Jiang Xuan: “?????”
Upon hearing these words, Jiang Xuan realized this must be her ultimate aim.
The gold dragon’s ambition far exceeded his expectations.
But Jiang Xuan quickly calmed down; he saw a chance to regain control.
Internally, Jiang Xuan resolved:
“I’ll feign compliance, lure her into a servant contract, then let ‘the System’ interrupt.”
Showing agreement, he answered softly:
“Alright, just let me off… I agree…”
Seeing Jiang Xuan’s immediate submission, ‘Golden Spirit Cloud’ smiled.
She caressed Jiang Xuan’s chin gently:
“See? I knew you were smart. For a moment, I thought I needed more interrogation.
Okay, since you submitted, I’ll spare you.
Call me… Master.”
Jiang Xuan: “…”
Watching her audacious actions, Jiang Xuan realized he’d been naïve.
Despite not forcing anything against her will, he found himself humiliated.
At this moment, Jiang Xuan resolved to reassert control once he could.
Reluctantly and indignantly, he replied:
“Lingyun… Master…”
“Good, Succubus… From today onwards, understand your place. Serve me always, understood?
Lie there, beg for my favor, and I’ll reward you.”
Jiang Xuan: “????”
“Umm… To express my true feelings… why not… let’s form a contract…”
“No need, not necessary. You’re just a small succubus; you can’t escape anyway.”
Hearing this, Jiang Xuan was utterly baffled.
What game was this golden dragon playing? It ruined his strategy.
Thoughtfully, Jiang Xuan decided to try a different approach.
Appealing to her sensibility, he replied:
“Even if the Master trusts me, certain steps must be followed. A contract symbolizes loyalty.
Does the Master disown me? Have I lost honor?”
Wrapping his arms around her neck, he continued softly:
“Isn’t it disrespectful not to acknowledge my status?”
‘Golden Spirit Cloud’ saw Jiang Xuan’s pitiful posture and grinned:
“Well, if you insist, I’ll accommodate…”
A contract array appeared.
Suddenly, Golden Soul flew into Jiang Xuan’s mind to plant a mark.
Realizing distorted space, ‘Golden Spirit Cloud’ gasped:
“d*mn, what was I thinking, run now!”
The man with the black blade made her realize it was too late.
Outwardly, the contract array dissipated.
‘Golden Spirit Cloud’ pouted adorably:
“Master, previously, that was just a joke…”
