Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 756 Challenge Dungeon 12

"Thank you for saving my life..." Xie Yipei took a step forward, closing the distance.

He was more than a head taller than Yun Chu, looking down at her with deep, dark eyes that churned with emotions Yun Chu couldn't understand, strong and aggressive.

Shouldn't you repay him with your body?

Before she could finish speaking, and before Yun Chu could even react—whether by retreating, attacking, or controlling the Fire Iron Flying Ants—Xie Yipei's arm had already wrapped around her slender yet supple waist like an iron hoop, pulling her into his embrace!

Their bodies pressed together instantly, and Yun Chu could feel the heat and strength emanating from the other's solid chest.

Alarm bells rang in her mind, and almost instinctively she wanted to activate the [Statue Skill] to temporarily petrify him, or directly detonate the Fire Iron Flying Ants hidden behind his collar!

However, the moment she focused her mind, an extremely strange power came from Xie Yipei, like an invisible shackle, instantly imprisoning her body!

Not only were his limbs unable to move, but his consciousness's connection to the skills and the Fire Iron Flying Ants was also frozen, becoming obscure and stagnant!

She couldn't even tremble her fingertips!

Immediately afterward, under Yun Chu's gaze filled with shock and anger, Xie Yipei lowered his head and precisely captured her lips!

It was a forceful, irresistible kiss, even carrying a hint of predation.

His aura was crisp yet domineering, instantly overwhelming her senses.

Yun Chu's mind was filled with a roar, as anger and icy killing intent intertwined and rose.

She had never had such intimate contact with anyone before, let alone been forced into it!

She frantically tried to break free of that invisible constraint, mobilizing every possible force—

Just then, a cold system notification sounded like a thunderclap deep within her mind:

[Warning! Intrusion of special contract power detected!]

[Player Bai Yun Chu, you have been successfully bound to player Xie Yi Pei using the special skill 'Kiss Contract'!]

[Contractual Relationship: Master and Servant. Xie Yipei is the master, and you are the servant.]

[Contract Effect:]

1. Servants cannot actively harm, betray, or disobey their master's direct orders (subject to system judgment).

2. When the master dies, the servant dies with him (soul binding).

3. The master can perceive the approximate location and strong emotional fluctuations of the servant in one direction.

4. The contract cannot be terminated unilaterally by the servant.

[Binding successful! This status will last until the end of the instance, and the owner can choose whether to extend it to the real world or other instances.]

Yun Chu's pupils suddenly contracted to their maximum size, and her blood seemed to freeze instantly!

A contract? Master and servant? Unbreakable? If the master dies, she dies?!

How is this possible?! What kind of bizarre skill is this?! How could the system allow such a contract, which is almost like slavery, to exist?!

A tremendous shock, humiliation, and a sudden, unprecedented panic of losing control of her situation overwhelmed her instantly.

She was stiffly held in Xie Yipei's arms, enduring this predatory kiss, yet unable to even push him away.

Xie Yipei seemed to sense the turmoil in her mind and slowly ended the kiss, but did not let go of her arms.

He slightly increased the distance between them, his deep eyes fixed on Yun Chu's slightly widened peach blossom eyes, which were filled with shock and anger. As he watched the disbelief and icy killing intent surging in her eyes, the playful smile on his lips deepened.

"Looks like it's working well," he murmured, his fingertips lightly brushing across Yun Chu's smooth cheek, the movement carrying an air of effortless control.

"Don't look at me like that. In the last instance, Starlight Convenience Store, Du Xue... I remember you. Now, Bai Yun Chu... we meet again."

Xie Yipei not only possesses the SSS-level Kiss Contract skill, but also the SSS-level Elemental skill and the Eye of Truth skill.

Elemental Skills: Ability to wield various elemental powers in battle!

The Eye of Truth skill allows you to see through various disguises and reveal the player's true appearance.

That's why Xie Yipei paused for a moment on Yun Chu's face in the previous instance. Because Yun Chu's face was still quite attractive.

However, in the previous instance, Xie Yipei had no intention of touching the contract, so he bought the items and left.

But later he discovered that this newcomer was no ordinary person. He even managed to outwit the investigators, which was quite interesting.

So he decided that if he encountered her again in the dungeon, he wanted to try out his other skill, "Kiss Contract," which he had never used since he drew it.

Don't know how effective it will be.

I didn't expect him to run into this so soon.

Yun Chu's heart sank. She realized that she might have made a serious mistake—underestimating the strangeness and domineering nature of some players' skills, and also underestimating the danger posed by this man named Xie Yipei.

Now, she has become his "possession".

【Master-servant contract】, 【Irresistible】, 【When the master dies, the servant dies】... These words combined to form the worst possible situation she had never imagined.

After the immense shock came a wave of humiliation and chilling murderous intent that nearly consumed her.

She actually... became someone else's "possession"? A "servant" who could be ordered around at will, whose life and death depended on the whim of others?

Xie Yipei seemed to enjoy her expression at that moment—beneath that forced composure lay an undisguised turmoil.

He loosened his grip slightly, but his arms remained around her waist, in an undeniable posture of possession.

"You should be clear about the effects of the contract." Xie Yipei's voice was still deep and magnetic, but it revealed a coldness of complete control. "Now, answer a few questions for me."

"First, what are your true abilities?"

"It's rare to see a newcomer who can outmaneuver five seasoned investigators in the very first instance."

Yun Chu's body was still subtly suppressed by the power of the contract, preventing her from launching an attack or strongly resisting, but her speech and thoughts were not restricted.

She looked up, and her once-blossoming eyes were now filled with icy coldness, creating a stark contrast with her alluring face.

"This is none of your business." Her voice was as cold as ice. "Untie this contract, or else..."

"Otherwise what?" Xie Yipei chuckled, his fingertips tracing her cheek again, the movement gentle yet carrying a chilling undertone. "Kill me? You can't do it."

"Disobey my orders? The system will not allow it. Bai Yun Chu, face reality, you are mine now."

He leaned close to her ear, his warm breath brushing against her sensitive earlobe, "Tell me your trump card, it will benefit both of us."

"At least, when I need it, I know how much value my 'possessions' can provide, rather than a vase that needs constant protection."

"A vase?" Yun Chu twitched the corners of her mouth, revealing an almost cruel smile. "Xie Yipei, you'll regret underestimating a 'vase'."

"Oh? I'll wait and see." Xie Yipei didn't take it seriously; he was clearly extremely confident in his "Kiss Contract."

This is an SSS-level special skill he obtained from a special reward instance. It has extremely limited limitations (the kiss must be successful and the target must not have noticed in advance and resist effectively), but once successful, it is almost unbeatable.

"Second question," Xie Yipei changed the subject, his gaze sweeping across the dark jungle, "what's your relationship with those guys from 'Golden Eagle'? Did you team up temporarily?"

"Temporary." Yun Chu said succinctly, not wanting to say more.

She learned from the Fire Iron Flying Ants that Iron Wall and the others had awakened and were anxiously searching for her.

"Looks like they still care about you." Xie Yipei said with a half-smile. "However, from now on, you're coming with me. I'll guide you through this dungeon. Of course, that's on the condition that you obey."

He released his arms from her waist, but the invisible bond of contract weighed heavily on Yun Chu's heart like shackles.

She could sense that if Xie Yipei issued a clear order that did not violate her core survival principles, she would find it difficult to resist.
