The King of Hell's Genius Pampered Wife

Before signing the contract, Qu Changfeng couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you curious how I got such an injury that I can’t even take pills?”

Xi Yue smiled lightly, her expression calm and composed as if it were nothing of significance. “It’s just a minor injury—merely a stubborn ailment and the toxins of the pills’ residues in your body. It will be resolved soon enough. Why would I need to ask?”

Qu Changfeng was momentarily taken aback, but then a smile suddenly spread across his face. His eyes gleamed with admiration as he looked at Xi Yue, the admiration shining brightly in his gaze.

It seemed that making a contract with Xi Yue was the right choice.

The signing of the “Shadow Protector Contract” was simple. Both parties only needed to swear an oath with their souls, binding it with a mark that would be etched into their consciousness, and the contract would be sealed.

Xi Yue detected a new bright spot in her consciousness. She could feel its general location and even detect the strength of the person’s vital energy and spiritual power.

The presence of this point of light seemed to instantly boost the strength of her soul. She hadn’t expected the Shadow Protector Contract to have this kind of effect.

Xi Yue casually smiled and pushed the Shadow Protector Contract to the back of her mind, continuing to stare blankly at the communication screen in front of her.

Feeling completely ignored, Qu Changfeng couldn’t help but clear his throat and say, “I don’t think [0] will accept your challenge, will he?”

Qu Changfeng was surprised inwardly, but his face remained calm as he said, “In the Spirit Refining Domain’s arena, [0] is a legendary figure. Every year, countless challengers from the top 20 of the rankings come for him. But he rarely accepts any challenges.”

In the arena, failing to accept a challenge would result in a deduction of points. However, [0]’s points were so high that even Qu Changfeng, ranked second, barely had a fraction of his points. For [0], those point deductions were as insignificant as a drop in the bucket.

“[0] was dominating the arena four decades ago, long before I even arrived in the Spirit Refining Domain. Back then, he rarely accepted challenges. Occasionally, if he felt like it, he might enter the Spirit Refining Domain for a match.”

“As for now, he’s become even stronger. In the Spirit Refining Domain, there may not be a single person capable of landing a blow on him. It’s likely he won’t be returning to the arena anytime soon.”

Qu Changfeng also felt a little bummed out as he explained.

After the duel between Maverick Swordsman and [0] ended, Qu Changfeng had issued a challenge to [0], hoping to receive his guidance. Even if it was just a chance to experience the immense depth of his soul, he would have been content. But, just like before, his challenge was met with complete silence, vanishing into the void without a single response.

Qu Changfeng’s words immediately doused Xi Yue’s excited and anxious heart, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her, leaving her feeling chilled to the core.

In fact, she also thought that [Zero] might not be Nangong Yu.

After all, [0] had existed for over a thousand years, while Nangong Yu had only been in his early 20s when they first met. Now, even if he were still alive, he would only be in his 30s.

However, Xi Yue couldn’t shake the image of that face, identical to Nangong Yu’s, nor could she forget the familiar figure. She couldn’t help but hope and long to see that person again.

What if it really is Nangong Yu? What if Nangong Yu came to life in another way?Nôv(el)B\\jnn

But now, Qu Changfeng’s words have shattered all her hopes.

Even if she raised her soul strength to the top 20 of the arena rankings, even if she earned the right to challenge [0], there was no guarantee he would acknowledge her. She might never see Nangong Yu again, not in this lifetime.
