All Things Are Contracts

The sun shone brightly and a gentle sea breeze blew. A beautiful blonde woman lay elegantly on a white lounge chair, holding a novel. She was reading while sampling fruits and drinks.

“Come over here and talk,” the woman’s voice was pleasant, but Zhanyue was only nervous. This opponent was definitely, absolutely formidable.

He mustered his courage and walked over.

The woman before him was dressed very lightly. She was tall and graceful, with snow-white exposed skin, especially her long legs, which were like flawless jade, a rare delicacy in the world.

She had long golden hair that flowed like waves. Her facial features were Eastern, yet she had emerald green eyes. At the moment, she was wearing sunglasses, which seemed out of place in this world, as if she too were a time traveler. On her exposed neck was a small tattoo, seemingly of some kind of bird.

The woman stood up, picked up a robe beside her, and put it on, covering her beautiful figure.

Then, Zhanyue felt a sudden gust of wind. This wind was like knives and swords, and soon his outer robe was torn to shreds, yet not a hair on his body was harmed.

“Hmm? You little thing, you look quite unique,” the woman commented critically as she looked at Zhanyue’s exposed appearance. “You’re not human? No, your soul aura is indeed human… but incomplete. Is this your external avatar?”

Zhanyue was shocked. The woman had easily seen through him, while she remained unfathomable, both in terms of her deep cleavage and her strength. This woman’s figure could be described as perfect, even taller than Yunyao and Mi Hongchen. She was arguably the tallest woman Zhanyue had ever seen.

“Hmph!” The woman let out a cold snort, like a thunderclap next to Zhanyue’s ear, bringing him back to reality.

“Quite gutsy, aren’t you? In this situation, you can still think of lust? Impressive, truly a daring pervert,” the woman yawned, waved her hand, and a chair appeared out of thin air next to Zhanyue.

“I’m… I’m sorry,” Zhanyue said, somewhat embarrassed. He had been abnormal lately, and he knew it himself, but he couldn’t control it.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such an aggressive gaze. Very good,” the woman smiled, “More vivid than those fictional insects.”

“Fictional insects, you mean?” Zhanyue asked.

“What do you think? You don’t need to pretend in front of me, outsider,” the woman sat down again, very elegantly, not at all worried about Zhanyue harming her.

“You know? Then what about you? Aren’t you fictional?” Zhanyue boldly asked. Things were getting more and more strange.

“Me? Of course I exist for real. Otherwise, want to feel for yourself?” The woman extended a leg towards Zhanyue.

Zhanyue laughed awkwardly. He didn’t dare. If he really dared to touch, he feared he would end up like Wild Man, kicked by her just as he had kicked Wild Man.

“In a sense, I’m also a Heavenly Book trial participant, but different from you. I have no mission, so naturally I can’t fail the mission, and there’s no time limit. But it also means I can’t leave the Heavenly Book world,” the woman continued. Every word she said made Zhanyue’s hair stand on end.

“You’re also a trial participant? Also for the Void Emperor’s legacy?” Zhanyue asked curiously.

“You mean Void? Hehe, kid, you don’t really think the Heavenly Book world was created by Void, do you? You’re giving him too much credit. That boy doesn’t have such ability,” the woman said.

The mighty Void Emperor was just “that boy” in the woman’s mouth. Zhanyue was more puzzled about the woman’s identity.

“Who… who exactly are you?” Zhanyue asked. He knew he was no match for this woman. She was too formidable, as mysterious as the vast sea.

“Who I am isn’t important. The key is who you are,” the woman continued, “Never mind, there are four people here besides you and me, one welcome, one unwelcome.”

Zhanyue was stunned. Even counting Baizhi, there were only three people. What did she mean by one more?

The woman reached out her hand, and Zhanyue felt dizzy. Baizhi was directly pulled out of his racial talent space by the woman. “Since you’re here, don’t hide anymore.”

Then the woman looked at the sky and said lightly, “Little girl, big sister is going to discuss some important matters now. You’re not allowed to eavesdrop.”

A thunderclap was heard, and the sky darkened.

Zhanyue and Baizhi had no idea what had happened. But outside the Heavenly Book world, the Spirit of the Heavenly Book, who had been peeking, stomped her feet in anger. “Hmph, if you don’t want me to look, then I won’t. Who cares about your secrets.”

She had always known about this person’s existence in the Heavenly Book world. It was a mysterious being that had been in the Heavenly Book even before her father obtained it. She had also encountered it before, but the other party seemed very unfriendly to her because of her father. She hadn’t been able to get any information out of it.

“Good, now the eavesdropping little ghost has been driven away,” the woman smiled, then pointed at Baizhi, “You’re Baizhi, right?”

Baizhi hid behind Zhanyue fearfully. She had naturally heard the previous conversation. This woman before them was too mysterious. What was her purpose, and why had she put a bounty on her?

“What are you afraid of? It’s normal that I know of your existence. When you entered this world, I knew many things, including your mission. Due to certain reasons, I can’t leave the Ink Sea, so I could only have someone bring you to see me. I ordered that you be brought unharmed. I had no intention of hurting you,” the woman said.

“???” Zhanyue and Baizhi looked at each other in confusion. Why did she know their identities, and even Baizhi’s mission?

“I’ll be direct. With your strength, trying to kill the thunder bird is simply a pipe dream. But if I help you, it becomes much simpler,” the woman continued.

“What do you mean?” Zhanyue pressed, “Senior, what are your conditions?” Zhanyue didn’t believe this person would help them for nothing.

“Mm, there are conditions, of course. That is, you need to take me away,” the woman said.

“Take you away? What do you mean?” Zhanyue didn’t understand.

The woman pointed at Zhanyue and said, “You’re not a trial participant from this world, right? So how did you get in? How do you get back? If you can leave, then naturally I can leave too.”

“This?” Zhanyue smiled bitterly, “Senior, you know I’m just an avatar, not a living person. That’s why I can come and go freely.”

The woman smiled mysteriously: “Who said I’m not an avatar, that I’m a living person? If you can have an external avatar, can’t others?”

Zhanyue was stunned, “Senior… you’re also an avatar?”
