Chapter 619 - 265: The Demon in the Seal Stone_3
GuaGua let out a call, landing on the ground as if by divine intervention.
Shaking its playful nature, it obediently sat and bobbed its head along with the variation of the zither’s melody.
Ye Hanjun hesitated for a moment but finally decided to follow GuaGua’s lead.
From the onset of the zither’s melody, all lightning lost its power, it seemed more like the surging of tidal water.
Somewhat unnaturally green in color, it was surprisingly non-lethal.
Ye Hanjun deactivated ’Ring of Control’, returning to his human form.
Carefully stepping on the jumping lightning, he slowly settled on the ground.
At this moment, he was neither part of the Night Family nor a dual-authority holder.
He emptied his mind, becoming an audience, only focusing on the changing zither’s melody and unconcerned about anything else.
"Old man, what kind of demon is this?"
"Why is it playing the zither as soon as it comes out? It doesn’t utter a word, it’s weirder than a weirdo..."
Fly Moon, who had been observing the Ancient Stone Hall through the light sphere, couldn’t resist asking.
The Changing Demon Fox’s face showed confusion as if she was clueless and turned her gaze towards the Dreadclaw Ape Demon King.
Under their scrutiny, the Dreadclaw Ape Demon King stood up, unconsciously clenching his fists, his wide eyes were full of shock.
"Impossible, are there still any Demons from that clan alive?"
"In the histories I’ve read, they were supposed to have been exterminated and their bloodline severed, no?"
"Old man, stop with these demon tales! Don’t keep getting shocked!"
Fly Moon scoffed dismissively, scolding without restraint.
"Let’s keep watching, I’m still not certain."
Ignoring the Powder Wing Fly Demon, the Dreadclaw Ape Demon King’s eyes were fixated on the light sphere, as if wanting to stick to it.
At that moment, inside the Ancient Stone Hall.
Ye Hanjun’s mental state was more and more relaxed, as if wandering in a drifting and flowing lake. The spring breeze brushed his face when he lifted his head, the warmth of the sun filled his eyes when he opened them. Even each hair of his was relishing in this rare holiday.
...
"Old man, what’s going on?"
"It’s been several days now, the one playing the zither doesn’t tire, only having eyes for that green zither."
"Those listening to the music, both the person and frog are motionless. Could it be that their souls shattered and they’re already two dead things?"
Having patiently waited day after day, Fly Moon lost his temper and interrogated the silent Dreadclaw Ape Demon King.
"Shush, not a single bit of appreciation for art."
"Even if you were allowed in, no matter how moving was the zither’s melody, you wouldn’t be able to appreciate it."
"Bullshit! I’m a demon! A fly demon that spreads disease!"
Fly Moon, enraged and cursing, fumed:
"Only those who are brainless would listen to music!"
"This demon also has a hole in its brain, it doesn’t go on slaughters, doesn’t massacre with blood, doesn’t even fight with this brainless human, instead, it plays the zither for him. It’s truly fucking sick!"
"Quiet! Be quiet!"
The Dreadclaw Ape Demon King knocked on the wall, somewhat annoyed:
"With your temper, you can only act so brazenly because of the Dazzling Flash!"
"Just watch, this guy is not ordinary in the slightest. Whether he can form a pact with the human or not, it’s truly an unknown!"
...
Inside the stone hall, Ye Hanjun had lost all sense of time.
As long as the zither continues to play, he allowed himself to drift in that sometimes illusory, sometimes real lake.
"Qua? Qua qua?"
After a long time, as the zither’s melody drew to a close, when the last note was struck, GuaGua opened its eyes, and there was a flash of golden light on its body.
It had actually advanced, from Mie Degree’s Void Extraction to Small Achievement.
"I understand your intentions."
The black demon had disappeared at some point.
The emerald green ancient zither floating mid-air, suddenly straightened up, and a gap at the zither’s forehead revealed a blood-red demon eye, staring straight at Ye Hanjun:
"Since you can listen to my melody, for seven times seven forty-nine days, you have the title of ’Bosom Friend.’"
"As a bosom friend, I do not resist forming a pact with you."
"But I have no other desire in this life, I only want to play the zither, play the best zither, play the best melody."
"If one day, you cannot help me realize my desire, or impede my desire, the zither can be shattered, but my faith cannot change."
"Alright, I agree."
Ye Hanjun stood up, the spirit in his eyes almost filled with emerald green.
He slowly extended his left hand, with the index and middle finger together, he pressed them against his brow.
A drop of blood shimmering with golden light flowed from his brow.
"Following the Blood Covenant with ’Aegifura,’ the first covenant ’Mo,’, this will belong to the ’Demon Ruler’s’ second contract."
"I stake the Ye surname, and may the Nether Lamp Abyss bear witness to this."
"My name is Ye Hanjun, from the moment the pact is formed, I swear to uphold it forever..."
Dense blood threads flowed along his arm toward the other side.
The green ancient zither remained motionless, letting the blood threads coil around it, subsequently completely absorbing them.
"I have a true name, called ’Absolute String.’"
"Absolute String...."
Ye Hanjun savored the two words, sensing the hidden connection forming a link between the demon and himself.
He activated ’Talent Identification’ for the second time.
The status interface also reflected for the second time in his mind, the endpoint ’Contractual Relationship’ quietly changed.
