Tang Ye would naturally not allow Xiao Lang to die just like that. When Xiao Lang’s neck was about to come into contact with Violet Spirit, Tang Ye issued a command in his heart, and Violet Spirit transformed into a violet glow that flew into his grasp. After he failed to commit suicide, Xiao Lang’s figure shook before he returned to his human form, and then he gazed at Tang Ye with eyes that blazed with fury. He howled furiously and said, “Human, are you trying to humiliate me?” “Humiliate you?” Tang Ye shook his head, and then he sighed. “Xiao Lang, you spoke earlier about how we humans loved to go back on our word, but aren’t the Darkbeasts of your Darkbeast Empire the same? We have a bet that you would follow by my side for 10 years if you lost, yet you chose to go back on your word. I truly look down upon you!” As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Ye held the violet mink in his arms before leaving. The violet mink seemed to be very unwilling, but it chose to respect Tang Ye’s decision and didn’t cause trouble! As he gazed at Tang Ye and the violet mink’s figures moving towards the distance, Xiao Lang’s expression changed. After a short while, he took a deep breath and said, “Human, don’t use such inferior methods to prod me into action. I, Xiao Lang, accept my loss. From today onwards, I’ll be your subordinate!” When he heard this, the corners of Tang Ye’s mouth raised slightly while a wisp of happiness arose on his face. When he turned around to look at Xiao Lang, the expression on his face had become calm once more, and he said, “Are you sure?” “Of course!” Xiao Lang grunted coldly, and then he said, “But I have a condition. I get to challenge you once every single year during these 10 years of time, and I’ll continue being your subordinate if I lose. However, I can leave if I defeat you. Alright?” Tang Ye pondered deeply for a brief moment before he nodded and said, “Alright!” In Tang Ye’s opinion, having an expert by his side that ceaselessly urged him on was a good thing because only with pressure would there be motivation! “How can I trust you!?” Tang Ye gazed at Xiao Lang and spoke in a deep voice. He would definitely be placing Xiao Lang within his Vortex Dantian, but Xiao Lang was a King Rank Darkbeast who possessed formidable strength. So, Tang Ye would naturally be unable to be at ease with Xiao Lang there. After all, he didn’t dare allow the existence of the Vortex Dantian to be exposed, otherwise, there would probably be no place in the southern territory for him! Xiao Lang frowned and said, “Human, I, Xiao Lang, keep my word. Since I’ve said that I would follow you for 10 years, then I will!” Tang Ye shook his head lightly, and then he gazed at the violet mink as he hoped it would have a way to resolve this. The violet mink understood Tang Ye’s intentions. It blinked and remained silent for a short while, and then its eyes lit up. Its figure flashed to arrive between Tang Ye and Xiao Lang, and then it waved its little claw lightly towards Xiao Lang, causing strands of thin violet light to instantly slice open a thin gap at the center of Xiao Lang’s brows. After that, it waved its little claw towards the space between Tang Ye’s brows, and then a thin gap appeared there as well. Under Tang Ye and Xiao Lang’s puzzled gazes, the little fellow waved its little claw once more, and then a drop of blood suddenly flew out from that gap at the center of both their brows. Under the envelopment of violet light, the two drops of blood gradually fused together, and as they fused together, a strange mark was gradually condensed into form at the center of Xiao Lang’s brows. Right at this moment, Xiao Lang’s face turned pale from fright, and he gazed at the violet mink while he spoke with terror. “The Soul Contract! It’s actually the Soul Contract! The Soul Contract technique was lost for over 10,000 years. Exactly what sort of Darkbeast are you to know this ancient secret technique....” The violet mink paid no attention to Xiao Lang, and it waved its claw once more, causing the pearl of blood within the violet light to instantly fly into the cut in the space between Tang Ye’s brows. At the same time, Tang Ye had a strange feeling. He didn’t know how to describe it in a specific manner, but in any case, there seemed to be a connection between him and Xiao Lang. No, it ought to be described as being able to sense everything related to Xiao Lang! The violet mink patted its little claws together, and then its figure flashed and directly descended onto Tang Ye’s shoulder. “Little Fellow, what exactly is going on?” Tang Ye gazed at the violet mink on his shoulder and frowned as he asked this question.“It’s the Soul Contract!” It was Xiao Lang who answered Tang Ye. Xiao Lang seemed as if he’d lost his soul as he gazed at the violet mink, and he muttered. “It’s a secret technique the humans created over 10,000 years ago, and it’s able to form an unfair contract between humans and my Darkbeast race and enslave my Darkbeast Race. At that time, my Darkbeast race had been almost annihilated by this contract. In the end, an extraordinary genius appeared in my Darkbeast Empire, and with him in the lead, a war that lasted over 1,000 years occurred between my Darkbeast Empire and the humans. In the end, you humans had no choice but to make a compromise and destroy all such techniques that could control Darkbeasts. After that, no one in the southern territory had knowledge about such secret techniques. But I never imagined that it would actually know this technique!”
