Chapter 607 Contract
Chu Ziyu's biscuit crumbs fell on his collar.
"Grandpa Chen said..."
Lin Ci'an's voice became increasingly quiet, "If two men want to pass through the government, they must first become sworn brothers..."
The snow fell silently.
Chu Ziyu looked at the wedding character that the young man had repeatedly traced, and suddenly remembered the wedding custom he had seen at the market - the bride had to cut a pair of red candle flowers by herself, and the ceremony was considered complete only if the candles stayed lit until dawn.
"Lin Ci'an."
He shook off the snow on his cloak and smiled slyly, "Do you remember what I said, the nine-tailed cat demon clan..."
The young man nervously broke the branch.
"...There are three stages to pass in order to form a covenant."
Silver hair fluttered in the wind and snow, Chu Ziyu raised three fingers, "The first level, my partner must be able to recognize my body pattern."
Lin Ci'an suddenly rushed over and hugged him with such force that they almost fell into the snow.
The young man placed his hot palm against his lower back - there were nine demonic patterns there, exactly the same as the patterns on the ears of the wooden carved kitten.
"What about the second level?" Lin Ci'an's voice trembled like snowflakes.
Chu Ziyu licked the ice crystals off his eyelashes and said, "Catch me a hundred silver fish from Lingxi River."
"There's enough for the fall! Bury the third jar in the cellar..."
The young man's eager defense was suppressed by fingers.
"The third level..." The silver-haired cat demon leaned close to his ear, and the hot air he exhaled condensed into white mist, "You have to let me choose the day myself."
Snow stopped.
Old man Chen stood outside the fence with a cane, looking at the two young men who looked like snowmen grinning foolishly in the yard.
The old man shook his head, took out a lunar calendar from his pocket and threw it over: "February 18th is a good day for getting married - those red candles can finally be used!"
That night, Chu Ziyu curled up on the newly carved wooden bed, watching Lin Ci'an fixing the buttons on her wedding dress in front of the candlelight.
The young man twisted the red thread with his rough fingertips, and the crooked stitches embroidered two overlapping cat paw prints.
"Xuetuan..." Lin Ci'an suddenly looked up, "Why did you..."
“Because of a human.”
The silver-haired cat demon flicked its tail—this time it was a real tail, and its snow-white fur brushed across the back of the young man's hand. "You must pick up a stray cat and take it home."
Candles burst.
The snow was falling from the newly planted honeysuckle vines outside the yard.
When the candle flame "popped" and burst into a flower, the tip of Chu Ziyu's ear suddenly moved.
After three months of silence in the sea of consciousness, a faint sound of electric current finally rang out.
"Zizi... Can you hear me, sir..."
6872's voice seemed to be coming through thick frosted glass. "The energy has finally... reached 10%..."
Chu Ziyu’s fingertips, which were embroidering the wedding dress, paused.
As he stood up to add more oil to the lamp, he used his magic power to create a soundproof barrier around his body. His silver hair fell down to cover his moving lips: "You have been dormant for long enough."
"Boss, we are about to reach the plot point."
"How much longer?"
"One day and two hours."
"So fast?"
The copper scissors in Chu Ziyu's hand fell onto the table with a clang.
Looking through the window paper, Lin Ci'an was drawing water from the well in the courtyard, his profile full of joy under the moonlight.
Lin Ci'an, who was fetching water, was a little dazed. Suddenly, a small town flashed before his eyes. Countless monsters were killing people, led by a masked nine-tailed cat monster.
Lin Ci'an's hands suddenly froze on the well rope.
The cold well water splashed on his wrists, but he didn't feel cold.
(What is that?)
The scene was sudden and clear—a bloody dusk, collapsed houses, and a masked silver-haired cat demon standing on corpses, its nine tails dyed a glaring red.
(impossible……)
He closed his eyes tightly, and when he opened them again, he only saw the silhouette of Chu Ziyu threading a needle with her head down in the window.
The candlelight cast a warm hue on her silver hair, and even the curve of her drooping eyelashes seemed gentle and harmless.
(Although the body shape is very similar, Xuetuan doesn't even dare to kill fish...)
