Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don t Call Me a Demon!

Chapter 374: Chapter 265: Dual Soul Contract_2

In the architectural compound that mimicked the antique Su-style garden, Su Jie led Han Ruyan into the place.

“Then I’ll leave first.”

Just as Su Jie turned to leave, a small hand caught him.

Turning around, he saw Han Ruyan gently parting her red lips, “Come in and sit.”

Su Jie was somewhat bewildered, but he followed her inside nonetheless.

Inside the mansion, lights and decorations adorned every corner, many laid out just as Han Mansion had been when Han Ruyan was alive.

At a pavilion, Han Ruyan slightly raised her head and said, “My parents, they must have died right around here, right? My father hanged himself here, and my mother was hung at this place.”

Han Ruyan’s voice was as detached as always, Su Jie couldn’t detect much fluctuation in it.

“You remembered?”

Su Jie was somewhat surprised; Han Ruyan’s demeanor clearly indicated that she had recalled many things from her life.

“After killing Zou Minzun, I intermittently get flashes in my mind; my parents died at his hands.”

Han Ruyan spoke slowly, then turned to look at Su Jie, “Thank you, my husband.”

Su Jie shook his head, saying, “Why thank me? As your husband, isn’t it my duty to help my wife avenge her deep-seated hatred?”

Han Ruyan’s brows furrowed slightly; she looked down at herself and said, “Deep-seated hatred… My husband, why can’t I feel much sorrow? The only person I seem to care about now is you.”

“Even if there’s only me, your husband will always love you.”

Su Jie touched Han Ruyan’s icy jade-like face. Although he couldn’t feel body warmth, he seemed to grasp Han Ruyan’s complex and indescribable state of mind through this gesture.

Normally, one would be greatly distressed and unable to suppress their grief if their parents were killed and their family destroyed. But Han Ruyan had become a fierce ghost and lost so many human emotions. She knew she should be grieving, but she was unable to empathize, even unsure of how to grieve and mourn, making such emotional perception overly burdensome for her.

“My husband…”

The blood-colored wedding dress on Han Ruyan fluttered, winding around Su Jie’s waist.

The chilling cold of the fierce ghost began to seep in.

Su Jie’s Primordial Spirit reacted instinctively, like how human adrenaline surges in the face of danger.

Two authoritative eyes on the Primordial Spirit opened, their divine radiance illuminating the Nine Nether, dispelling evil filth.

However, the next moment, Su Jie controlled the instinctive reaction of his Primordial Spirit and opened his arms to embrace Han Ruyan in her blood-colored wedding dress.

Threads and wisps of blood-red light spread between them; Su Jie’s body remained unchanged, but atop the Divine Soul emerged a blood-red cape that slowly materialized behind the Primordial Spirit.

The Primordial Spirit automatically leapt out from atop Su Jie’s head, and with a gust of wind, the red cape rustled.

Whoosh!

Invisible ripples spread out, the Primordial Spirit standing like a divine god, as its red cape billowed slightly, the ground cracking inch by inch. Nearby small animals and insects were instantaneously felled, their souls utterly extinguished.

“Dual Soul Contract.”

Su Jie murmured to himself. The so-called Dual Soul Contract was a deep binding between humans and fierce ghosts.

This binding was somewhat similar to the relationship Su Jie had with the thousand-hand centipede, his Lifebound poisonous insect. Dual Soul Contracts were extremely rare and usually, only one fierce ghost could be bound.

After binding, this contract would strengthen Su Jie’s Primordial Spirit, bestowing various divine abilities and greatly increasing its power.

Zhong Shiguan had established a Dual Soul Contract with the Mirror Girl, which allowed him, after his physical death, to take possession of the Mirror Girl’s body with his human consciousness, controlling it.

As Han Ruyan now had established a Dual Soul Contract with Su Jie, this also meant that Han Ruyan truly opened her heart to Su Jie, with no defenses whatsoever.

The Primordial Spirit soared high into the sky, barely visible.

The next moment, dark clouds gathered, thunder roared, lightning snakes flashed.

The Divine Skill of Purple Cloud Heavenly Thunder originated from the Primordial Spirit, and as the Primordial Spirit strengthened, it also drew upon natural phenomena.

A violent wind arose, and a downpour began, with the sound of thunder rolling, starting a heavy rain.

“Strange, it was scorching a moment ago, but this rain came so suddenly.”

“This is sunshower, when it’s raining while the sun is out.”

“It’s only raining near Nightmare Park; there’s no rain in other areas.”

Passersby nearby were astonished. As they looked for shelter from the rain, they noticed the sun brightly shining above while the relentless rain fell, covering only a small area around Nightmare Park.

These passersby had no idea that the heavy rain was entirely caused by a human being.

“To leverage human form to manipulate changes in the weather, such is the might of the Taoist Platform Realm,”

Su Jie’s mouth was slightly ajar, his heart shaking with amazement.

This was a phenomenon-level hallmark of the Taoist Platform Realm: “My heart as the heart of heaven,” the waxing and waning of one’s mood could cause synchronous changes in the weather.

This was possible because the Primordial Spirit of the Taoist Platform Realm had evolved to the God Unification stage, where it was the same size as the physical body and perfectly merged with it.

Su Jie had never imagined that the Dual Soul Contract he had bound with Han Ruyan would allow his Primordial Spirit to advance to such a level.

This state could truly be called the Small God Union Realm.

Although the celestial phenomena induced by this realm were more for show and did not possess truly powerful might, incomparable to the heavenly might of the Taoist Platform Realm.

Yet, to achieve this right after advancing to the Secret Realm was already an exaggeration beyond belief.

Looking again at Han Ruyan, she was merely watching Su Jie quietly, as if nothing had happened.

“Is this a gift from my lady?”

Su Jie’s Primordial Spirit returned to his body, and he took Han Ruyan into his arms.

“My lord, do you not like it?”

Han Ruyan, held by Su Jie, looked steadily into his eyes.

“How could I not like it? Even if you gave me a blade of grass or a stone, your husband would cherish it immensely.”

Su Jie planted a gentle kiss, and Han Ruyan did not resist.

After their lips parted, Han Ruyan asked with a calm expression, “My lord, could it be this is what men call sweet nothings?”

“This isn’t sweet nothings, this is love,”

Su Jie began to explain. Although his initial binding with Han Ruyan had been due to a combination of coincidences, he couldn’t deny that after getting to know her, his relationship with Han Ruyan had long transcended mere exploitation.

“By the way, where did you learn to talk like that?”

“There’s a lot of it in movies. Those men often talk like that, but some of them, after sweet-talking, will abandon their wives. My lord, you wouldn’t do that, would you?”

Han Ruyan’s lips parted slightly, breathing in Su Jie’s scent, she said very assuredly, “But it’s alright. If my lord were to do that, I would turn you into a Fierce Ghost. That way, we could always be together, forever, and no one could take my lord away from me.”

Whoosh!

Hearing such a Yandere statement, Su Jie’s expression froze for a moment, detecting the scent of a kitchen cleaver on Han Ruyan.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Could it be, my lord, you…”

Han Ruyan seemed to sense the change in Su Jie’s body, and tightened her embrace.

Su Jie coughed twice and waved his hands, “What are you talking about, my lady? I’m not that kind of man, I would never abandon a woman after causing chaos.”

At the same time, Su Jie silently added to himself, “You’re all a part of my harem, I would never toy with and then discard anyone.”

“I always feel like my lord is hiding something.”

It had to be said, even as a Fierce Ghost, a woman’s intuition could still be so terrifying.

“You’re overthinking it, my lady.”

Su Jie said earnestly, “Also, my lady, you should watch fewer of those messy movies in the future, I’m afraid they’ll have a bad influence on you.”

“Really?”

“Absolutely.”

…

After leaving Han Ruyan’s residence, Su Jie sighed to himself.

“Thank goodness I didn’t introduce Yingying to her, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.”

Su Jie wasn’t afraid for himself, but Liu Yingying was just an ordinary person and if Han Ruyan saw her as a rival, the consequences would be very bad.

Just as Su Jie thought of Liu Yingying, his phone rang. Picking it up, it was indeed her calling.

After picking up and listening for a few sentences, Su Jie’s expression gradually turned grim.

“Heh, it seems they really can’t sit idle for a day without stirring up trouble, medical embargo… It looks like it’s time to remind them of the fear of being under the control of the Steel Camp.”
