When Xia Lin woke up, he knew that things were already set in stone. There was a purple vine pattern on his wrist. It was a contract, a contract to share his lifespan equally with Lusarin.
Still angry, Xia Lin ignored the guilty - looking Lord Demon King all the way back to the Demon Realm. Even when they returned to the Demon Realm and faced the welcoming demon generals, Xia Lin said expressionlessly, "My respected Lord Demon King, I have something to attend to and shall take my leave first!"
After Xia Lin left, several demon generals exchanged glances. "Why did this human become so strange after a trip to the human world?" Samael was the most straightforward, but he got no answer. Instead, he received a cold look from the Lord Demon King. The other demon generals knew that the Lord Demon King was in a bad mood and obediently kept silent.
After the Lord Demon King also left, the demon generals could finally freely exchange their thoughts. "Was that human just now angry?" Leviathan stroked his chin.
Cyril was unhappy that a mere human like Xia Lin dared to show the Lord Demon King a cold shoulder. "This human is really audacious! And yet the Lord Demon King indulges him so much!"
Only Amonstis smirked and noticed something the other demons had missed. "Didn't you see?"
"See what?" Samael was impatient. "If there's nothing else, I'll go back first!"
Amonstis shook his head with a click of his tongue. "None of you have any patience. Didn't you notice that both the Lord Demon King and that human have a purple vine pattern on their left hands?"
Only then did the others react. After hearing their colleague's words, the image of the pattern flashed through their minds. They had been so distracted by the expressionless Lord Demon King and the human that they hadn't paid attention to the vine pattern!
Cyril had a bad feeling. "The same position and the same pattern. It must be a contract between the Lord Demon King and that human!"
"What kind of contract?"
"Who knows? Should we ask?"
"Ask whom?"
"Don't be stupid. Since you don't dare to ask the Lord Demon King, of course we should ask the human!"
Xia Lin returned to his bedroom and lay on the bed. By now, he wasn't really angry with Lusarin anymore. But every time he thought about how Lusarin had knocked him out to make that lifespan - sharing contract, he didn't want to forgive Lusarin so soon!
If a demon king didn't die an unexpected death, he could live for tens of thousands of years. Now Lusarin could only live for a few thousand years, all for someone like him who wouldn't be around for long!
Actually, rather than being angry, Xia Lin felt more heart - ache. Well, since things were already done, wait a minute! There was a chance. He could exchange points and maybe find an item to cancel this contract.
Thinking of this, Xia Lin calmed down. When he went for dinner, Lusarin was quite puzzled. "Lin, you..."
Xia Lin asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
Lusarin was a bit conflicted. He thought it was a bit embarrassing for a demon king to be afraid of making a human sad. But... but he really didn't want Xia Lin to be angry! Forget it. From now on, Xia Lin's status would be that of the Demon Queen. The Demon Queen was worthy of his pampering.
Xia Lin shook his head. "I've calmed down. Besides, being angry won't help. The contract has already been made. And I've figured it out..." Xia Lin looked tenderly at Lusarin.
