Chapter 008: Indecent Behavior

“Marry me…” Du Fan touched his nose. “First, tell me who you really are. I’m not interested in some woman who just appeared out of a magic array…”
The woman glanced at Du Fan in confusion. She had thought that even if his proposal didn’t excite him, it would at least make him drool. But now, with her as a beautiful woman making such a request, he seemed completely uninterested. How could the lecherous swindler from moments ago turn into a sanctimonious priest so quickly?
After pondering for a while, the woman quickly said, “My name is Katherine Blackmore Octavius Holman. But you don’t need to call me by that name. You can call me Chenchen… As for my background… you don’t need to know it. All you need to know is that since you rescued me from here, killed so many people for me, and we’ve made a contract… you should just take care of me.”
Du Fan rolled his eyes. This woman named Chenchen was just as unreasonable as those women from his past life. She wanted him to support her without even solving all these problems first? Hmph, she must definitely be attracted to the beauty of young master Du Fan. Women these days really have no shame—willing to do anything for a man.
After sighing inwardly about the decline of morals, Du Fan asked, “Let’s not talk about that for now. But there are a few things I need to clarify. If I’m not mistaken, it was a magic array that trapped you, right?”
“Yes, it was a magic array!” Chenchen stuck out her tongue, looking extremely cute.
“Alright, as you can see, I don’t know any magic or combat skills. To put it bluntly, I’m a failure. So tell me, why was I able to break this magic array and rescue you?” Du Fan spread his hands.
Chenchen smiled slightly. “That’s easy to answer. For a long time, I’ve tried to get out of this magic array, but without external help, I couldn’t do anything. So when you accidentally touched it, I was able to use that momentary contact to break the array. Since you don’t know magic, it’s useless for me to explain. But just remember one thing—without you, I wouldn’t have been able to escape.”
“Is that so?” Du Fan frowned. “Alright, second question—what exactly is that contract?”

“A contract?” Chenchen tilted her head and thought for a moment. “If I remember correctly… the effect of that contract is to make you my master, right? Although I grant you power, you end up becoming my master. No matter how I look at it, I feel like I’m at a loss! So, you definitely can’t treat me badly from now on!”
“Your master?” Du Fan touched his chin and thought before saying, “If I remember correctly, being your master isn’t a good thing, is it? Although we’ve dealt with so many of those annoying members of the Temple Knights today, it won’t take more than three days before someone finds out. By being your master, I’d have to face the risk of being executed by the Holy Church, and even my entire family might be implicated… So, I’m sorry… I’d rather not be your master.”
With that, Du Fan nonchalantly flicked his clothes with his finger, didn’t look at Chenchen again, and prepared to leave.
“What a master who refuses to suffer a loss…” Chenchen smiled seductively, staring at Du Fan’s back for a moment before saying with a sly smile, “Dear master, do you want to learn combat energy? Magic? Or become an alchemist? As long as… you’re my master, then… you can achieve all of it!”
“Combat energy?”
“Magic?”
“An alchemist!”
Du Fan froze for a moment before frowning and turning back to look at Chenchen. “I noticed earlier that you seem to despise magic and combat energy, but now you’re saying such things. You should know that in this Roland Continent, everyone wants to be a mage, anyone with a bit of strength wants to learn combat energy, and anyone with a bit of imagination dreams of being an alchemist… Putting aside those strict requirements, just my own aptitude isn’t enough for me to practice at all…”
At that point, Du Fan stepped forward abruptly, his face almost touching Chenchen’s chest. “Do you have the Milak potion?”
Seemingly satisfied with Du Fan’s surprised expression, Chenchen sized him up with a sly smile before saying, “Mm, my mental strength is several times that of ordinary people, but my sensing ability is weak. It’s not a big problem; it can be easily solved. To quickly master magic and combat energy, or even become an alchemist, isn’t too difficult either… It’s just a pity…”

“What a pity!” Du Fan was completely stunned by Chenchen’s words at this moment, his usual composure lost almost entirely. After all, over the years since his transition, what he had longed for most was to learn magic and combat energy. After all, it seemed that even the prettier women on this Roland Continent had some skills. Not knowing anything at all made him, who had resolved to become a flower thief after his transition, cry for a long time!

“What a pity… someone doesn’t want to be my master anymore… Even though we have a contract, he refuses to admit it.” Chenchen wore a heartbroken expression, so delicate and pitiable that one would want to hug her immediately. “Sigh… Why does my fate have to be so full of misfortunes?”

“Hmm… Has anyone said that before? I can’t remember.” Years of acting as a swindler had made Du Fan’s face impervious to criticism. “Chenchen, right? From today on, I’m your master. So you have to listen to me. If I want combat energy, let me learn it. If I want magic, let me learn it. If I want to be an alchemist, let me be one. If I want to sleep, you have to keep me company…”

At this point, a purity of smile that even the God of Light couldn’t match appeared on Du Fan’s face.

Chenchen couldn’t help but blush. This guy started speaking seriously at first, but why did he become so shameless after just a few sentences? Yet his expression was so pure… Truly, he was extremely shameless.

After secretly labeling Du Fan in her mind, Chenchen sighed and said, “Okay… okay… I’m not joking with you. Our contract isn’t complete yet… Let’s finish the ritual first before doing anything else.”

“A ritual? What do you mean?” Du Fan looked at Chenchen puzzledly, tilting his head.

“Do you think becoming my master only requires one sentence? If we don’t hurry up with the ritual, we won’t even have a chance in the future.” Her tone took on a different flavor as she spoke.

“What if we don’t do the ritual?” Du Fan wasn’t someone easy to dismiss. He pressed on insistently.

Chenchen frowned. She had to admit that expression was also extremely beautiful. “If we don’t do the ritual, then, I guess it won’t be long before I can no longer exist in this realm. Do you know why I’m trapped inside a magic circle? It’s because they’re afraid I’ll suddenly disappear. And if it weren’t for the strict ban on anyone contacting me, do you think you could have gotten in here so easily?”

A twitching at the corner of his mouth made Du Fan realize immediately that this girl named Chenchen seemed to hide many secrets. Becoming her master might bring plenty of trouble, but the temptation of being able to practice magic and combat energy, even to become an alchemist, was one he couldn’t easily resist.

After thinking for a moment, Du Fan gritted his teeth. Hadn’t he decided from the moment he entered this place that he would never give up if there was even a chance to rise to greatness? What was there left to hesitate about now?

With this thought, a rare serious expression appeared on Du Fan’s face. He stared at Chenchen and said, “Girl, then let’s carry out your so-called ritual.”

Hearing his words, Chenchen finally showed a satisfied smile. She slowly stretched out her hands and placed them on Du Fan’s shoulders. Her eyes, which had been tightly closed, gradually opened, revealing stunning eyes that shone like stars.

Then, with a hint of hesitation and shyness, Chenchen slowly leaned toward Du Fan…

As she moved closer, Du Fan couldn’t help but feel an utterly absurd sensation…

No way… Could the so-called ritual involve such things?

But before he could finish thinking this, Chenchen’s forehead was already pressed against his, and her lips, carrying a faint fragrance, touched his lips.

Du Fan felt his legs go weak. Instinctively, he stuck out his tongue, as if a voice in his heart kept urging him: Move forward! Keep moving forward!

Yet even so, he still had time to roll his eyes and mumble indistinctly, “This… this is assault…”
