Volume 3, Chapter 88 – Sign a Contract, and Then~ I’ll Save You All

“After signing the contract, I can fulfill one wish for you~”

The voice was gentle and pleasant, like heavenly music,

but it was like a demon’s whisper, filled with endless temptation.

The moment he heard these words, Mu Yelan’s pupils contracted. He was shocked to discover… that time around him seemed to have stopped. Whether it was Nangong Wang and Xiao Xuanyu fighting in the air, or the giant serpent about to tear him apart, or even the Celestial Blight Ulutiel in the distance—they all stopped moving completely.

“What, what’s happening?”

Mu Yelan whispered in confusion.

And with time stopped, everything around seemed to lose its color, becoming gray and hazy, like illusory images.

“Time has stopped?”

Just as Mu Yelan was puzzled,

the previous voice entered Mu Yelan’s ears again, explaining the situation.

—”No, strictly speaking, time hasn’t stopped. Your consciousness was just pulled into your own mental world by me. Here, time flows a bit slower than outside.”

?!!

Hearing this, Mu Yelan’s entire body trembled as he shakily turned his head to look ahead, toward the direction the voice came from.

The next moment,

an elf girl as beautiful as a celestial fairy appeared before Mu Yelan.

Looking at this girl who was cupping her cheeks with both hands, crouching leisurely in front of him, Mu Yelan couldn’t help but hold his breath.

She was precisely the elf girl they had previously arrested and imprisoned.

She was also the being who had possibly repelled the Abyssal Lord’s avatar.

“You, it’s you?”

“That’s right, Your Majesty Mu Yelan, we meet again.”

“Why, why would you appear in my mental world?”

“Well… when you came to the dungeon earlier, I secretly planted some flowers on you, so~”

“Huh?”

Mu Yelan was completely bewildered.

But this was no longer important… For Mu Yelan, there was only one thing that mattered most at this moment.

Taking a deep breath, this emperor of the Kingdom of Qingyun asked anxiously:

“Signing a contract means fulfilling wishes? Any wish is possible?”

“Of course.”

“Then saving the Kingdom of Qingyun! Is such a wish possible?!”

“It is.”

The elf girl replied without hesitation.

Seeing this,

a trace of doubt couldn’t help but flash through Mu Yelan’s eyes. An elf who had secretly transferred weapons and then been caught and imprisoned, saying she could save the Kingdom of Qingyun? In Mu Yelan’s view, this was indeed somewhat hard to believe.

Although she seemed to have repelled the Abyssal Lord’s avatar… but that was just an avatar! What appeared in Qingyan City now was the Sky Dominator… the Celestial Blight herself.

Could she really do it?

Such doubt couldn’t help but overflow from the depths of Mu Yelan’s heart.

However,

shaking his head vigorously, Mu Yelan quickly suppressed this doubt completely.

At this point, Mu Yelan had no choice. The elf girl before him was his last lifeline. Regardless of the outcome, he had to try. After all, he had no other options now.

“So what do you want me to do?”

“Don’t be hasty about that. Whether we can sign a contract is still uncertain~”

“What, what do you mean?”

“Hehe~”

Facing the confused Mu Yelan, the elf girl playfully tilted her head.

The next moment,

the girl snapped her fingers.

Under Mu Yelan’s stunned gaze,

countless black liquids that were completely contrary to the elf girl’s temperament continuously overflowed from beneath her feet. These black liquids surged rapidly as if alive, instantly coalescing in the air into a huge spinning wheel. The wheel seemed to be summoned from the depths of hell, floating in mid-air and emanating a suffocating, cold aura.

The wheel was like a giant clock, with a finely carved black pointer at its center. Of course, unlike ordinary clocks, the twelve sections of this wheel weren’t marked with numbers, but were replaced by menacing skulls.

The skulls emanated a terrifying ominous aura.

More importantly,

the entire wheel continuously emanated a horrifying curse power aura.

“You need to win this game first~. Only after winning do you have the right to make a wish~”

“Game… Salvation Game?!”

The moment he saw this skull wheel, this term suddenly sprang from Mu Yelan’s mind.

As a ruler of a nation, he naturally knew of this game that wagered souls for the chance to make wishes.

Similarly,

he also knew.

There was only one being who would play this game with others…

“You are… Gaia Lobir?”

Staring into Bai Lianyue’s eyes, Mu Yelan asked seriously.

“What do you think?”

The elf girl smiled without giving a direct answer.

But Mu Yelan already had his answer.

“Hehe, I see…”

No wonder you said you could save the Kingdom of Qingyun…

Mu Yelan had actually mentally prepared for the fact that the Terran Malevolence hadn’t died. After all, when he saw that the purification weapon Rashiel’s damage to the Vassals of Sky was far less than expected, Mu Yelan had harbored similar suspicions.

“Since you know who I am, will you still play?”

Bai Lianyue asked somewhat curiously.

“Play, of course…”

Mu Yelan replied without hesitation.

“Do I have a choice? Hehe.”

With a cold laugh, Mu Yelan used his last bit of strength to raise his hand and grasp the pointer.

Meanwhile, Bai Lianyue watched Mu Yelan’s actions with a smile.

“Eeh~”

Octopus Sister, who had been lying on Bai Lianyue’s shoulder for a long time, also quietly poked out her head and curiously watched the scene before her.

“Eeh eeh eeh?” (Is it necessary to go through all this? Can’t you control the outcome yourself anyway?)

Octopus Sister muttered somewhat disdainfully.

After all,

when Bai Lianyue was conscious, she could completely control the outcome of the Salvation Game herself.

To this, Miss Evil God glanced meaningfully at Ling Xi and pressed a finger to her lips, saying quietly:

“The sense of ceremony can’t be omitted~”

“Eeh~” (Oh~)

Her big sister

always seemed to be particularly concerned about some inexplicable things.

Meanwhile,

in reality,

staring at Mu Yelan who had fallen to the ground in a miserable state, Cursed Venom’s emotions grew increasingly pleased, his bloody maw continuously approaching his target. Obviously planning to inject a large amount of toxins that would cause excruciating pain into the opponent’s body in one go.

“What’s wrong, Your Majesty? Won’t you try to resist?”

Staring at the prey that could barely move, Cursed Venom flicked his forked tongue and mocked teasingly.

“Why aren’t you moving anymore? Have you accepted your fate? Hiss~”

To be honest,

prey that didn’t resist much really couldn’t arouse Cursed Venom’s desire to attack.

At this moment, a hint of displeasure vaguely emerged in this giant serpent Corrupted Beast’s pupils.

But just then, Mu Yelan, who had been lying on the ground for a long time, quietly turned his head and looked toward Cursed Venom. That gaze was filled with resolute emotion—the previous desperate breakdown was nowhere to be seen.

“Oh?”

Seeing that his opponent seemed to have rekindled his fighting spirit and hope hadn’t dissipated, Cursed Venom also became somewhat interested.

However,

just as Cursed Venom was about to pounce forward and implement his previous torture and killing plan, a cold gleam suddenly burst forth from the distant dungeon warehouse, whooshing toward them and suddenly landing in front of Cursed Venom.

?!!!

“What is that?!”

Faced with this sudden development, the giant serpent coiled his body, curse power scattering as he clearly assumed a defensive posture.

Then,

Cursed Venom froze in place.

“Hm? A sword?”

At this moment, a snow-white slender sword had already been thrust into the ground, between Mu Yelan and Cursed Venom, directly separating the two.

However,

more attention-grabbing than the sword was the cyan ¹ Should have been green/teal for more accuracy but meh who cares cyan sounds cooler right? figure that had appeared beside the snow-white slender sword at some unknown time.

“Who are you?”

Eyes narrowing slightly, Cursed Venom questioned coldly.

To this,

the elf girl smiled slightly and, in a pleasant voice, spoke quite vulgar words.

—”Your grandfather.”

As the words left her mouth, the girl drew her slender sword.

A cold gleam flashed.

Under Cursed Venom’s stunned gaze, his body had already been severed in two by a single sword strike…

??!!

What, what?!
