200 I Signed A Lovers’ Contract With Xu Yuan?

It was impossible to hide the God’s Core anywhere else. There was no way to seal the power away. The Lords and their heroes could sense them from miles away.

The white-haired Lord had come up with a way. She had found a convenient hiding place. It was in the body of the mythical beast!

The sleeping mythical beast could mask the power of the God’s Core. Even if someone suspected the God’s Core was hidden here, it would be impossible to enter the door anyway.

This place was the forbidden zone. Outsiders were forbidden from entering. It was to prevent people from waking up the sleeping mythical beast.

Even if someone managed to enter the body of the mythical beast, it would still be difficult for them to navigate this space.

If they were not careful and woke the beast, there would be another disaster.

The white-haired Lord had hidden the God’s Core in this place.

Su Wan had no way of getting it. Even if she had followed the instructions of the white-haired Lord, there was a risk of her waking the mythical beast. However, the beast ignored her.

A dazzling crystal was suspended in the air where the white-haired Lord stared. One moment it was purple, the next it was blue. It then turned red.

Su Wan could sense the terrifying energy that the crystal contained within.

The white-haired Lord looked at it. “When I first got hold of the God’s Core, I researched to find a way to use it. I wanted to know about the secrets it contained.”

She turned around to face Su Wan. Her face was full of regret and bitterness. “I was arrogant then. I thought I would be invincible once I could use it. I researched bit by bit but never made any progress.”

The white-haired Lord took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Her eyes were a little teary. “I didn’t discuss it with him. I never shared my discovery with him.”

“When I found the God’s Core, I thought I had transcended from the restrictions an ordinary Lord faced. I thought I didn’t need any hero’s help at all. Only later did I realize that a Lord and a hero are inseparable.”

Perhaps there were other ways to use a God’s Core, but the white-haired Lord had discovered only one such method, and that required the Lord and the hero to be together.

The Lord and the hero could not be separated.

In order to use it, the Lord and the hero must sign a lovers’ contract and entrust their lives to each other forever.

A lovers’ contract would allow the hero to lend part of his power to the Lord. Only then could the God’s Core be used.

When Su Wan heard this, her face turned red. Lovers’ contract allowed a hero to lend part of his power to the Lord. Su Wan realized that something like that had already happened.

Xu Yuan had used some unknown ability to turn her into a half-dragon and half-human form. She was certain it was Xu Yuan’s doing. When she was fighting the Light-Type Heroes, Xu Yuan had let her use two of his abilities.

Su Wan hadn’t thought much about it before. However, from what the white-haired Lord said, Su Wan felt that her situation was similar.

“It can’t be…”

‘When did Xu Yuan sign a lovers’ contract with me?’

Su Wan knew how to form a lovers’ contract. The white-haired Lord had taught her. But she had never found the time to ask Xu Yuan.

She wanted to take her time. Besides, Xu Yuan looked so unapproachable that Su Wan was always reluctant to bring it up.

She had been so reluctant that she never realized that Xu Yuan could offer the contract as well.

‘Xu Yuan… without even a mention…’

Su Wan’s face flushed. It was hard to believe that Xu Yuan, who was always indifferent and aloof, had actually already signed a lovers’ contract with her…

What’s more, it had been a secret too.

If not for the white-haired Lord, Su Wan wouldn’t have realized it!

Su Wan didn’t know about the Demon Dragon Symbiosis ability. She took it to mean that Xu Yuan had signed a lovers’ contract already.

‘I thought Xu Yuan didn’t care about me… but it seems he does. He even signed a lovers’ contract without me knowing. He appears too indifferent!’

Su Wan got more and more flustered, thinking about it. However, she calmed herself and regained her composure.

‘No. I need to calm down… I have no evidence that it was actually a lovers’ contract,’ thought Su Wan. ‘Besides, shouldn’t both people consent to something like that? He didn’t even ask me…’

The more she thought about this, the more suspicious she became. The most important thing in signing any sort of contract was that both sides should agree on it. She didn’t remember signing or agreeing to any contract. Xu Yuan couldn’t sign a contract that involved her by himself.

Moreover, if it was something as big as a lovers’ contract, she would have noticed the difference somehow.

The Overlord attribute panel would have informed her. ‘I need to confirm it with him. If it is a simple misunderstanding, things will become very awkward…’

Su Wan calmed herself and looked at the God’s Core. ‘There is one other way to confirm…’

Only those in a lovers’ contract could take the God’s Core. She could try. If it worked, then she would know for sure that she had signed a lovers’ contract with Xu Yuan.

Su Wan walked up to the God’s Core and reached for it. She then caught it and held it in her hands.

The moment she touched it, the God’s Core burst into colorful lights. Su Wan could feel the mysterious power pour into her body. Her human side was reacting to the power. The human side was fragile and could be crushed with so much power. However, she felt the half-dragon part emerge and protected the human aspect. The non-human aspect was because of Xu Yuan.

It was no wonder that a lovers’ contract was needed to use the God’s Core. The power was so overwhelming that a human would have been reduced to nothingness.

Su Wan sighed with emotion.

She also realized, at this point, that she seemed to have succeeded. Did this mean that she and Xu Yuan had actually signed the lovers’ contract?
