"Master, I am willing to follow you forever."

As Chu Xiao finished speaking, Lin Xiaoxiao's fingers were entangled by a string of twisted symbols. The string of symbols was like a black snake with golden scales, swimming around her fingers and finally shrinking to form a ring.

The ring is black in color, but it is engraved with countless incomprehensible golden symbols. Looking at it for a long time will cause a strong sense of dizziness.

Stroking the new contract ring on her finger, Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Xiao, whose soul had become much more solid.

"Why did you make a contract with me? This is the first time we've met, right?"

Crossing her legs, she looked at the contract rings on her hands and sneered, "Once the soul contract is concluded, our souls are bound together. If I die, you will also dissipate between heaven and earth with me.

As far as I know, the souls of the starry sky are almost immortal. If you bind yourself to a short-lived human like me, wouldn't that be courting death? "

According to the information provided by Ling Hao, the lifespan of a starry sky soul can be as long as that of a planet if there is energy supply.

Yes, just like the planets in the universe that have existed for an unknown period of time, the time they have existed cannot be counted by human methods.

And such a being would actually sign a soul contract with a human being whose lifespan is only a few decades. This is as outrageous as humans binding their lives to those of short-lived mosquitoes that live and die in a day.

Holding Lin Xiaoxiao's hand, Chu Xiao lightly kissed the contract ring that belonged to him: "Such a long and boring life is too suffocating. I still hope that my life will be as bright and dazzling as fireworks.

Master, following you to fight the starry sky is the meaning of life I have found for my soul."

"Well, it's a pleasure working with you." Shaking her hand, which now had a contract ring, Lin Xiaoxiao said indifferently, "Since it's already done, there's nothing more to say. You're welcome to join us."

Standing up, Chu Xiao looked out the window at the dark night. "Master, you can ask the other contractors to come back. We're the only ones here, so there's no ambushes. Besides, I'm completely yours now. What else are you worried about?"

Snapped!

Lin Xiaoxiao snapped her fingers, stood up, and walked towards the door: "If that's the case, then come with me. I don't want to chat with you in the wilderness."

As she finished speaking, the original two-story villa disappeared, and what appeared before her eyes was a city ruin that had obviously been cleaned up.

Kicking the stone away, Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the bite marks on her arm from someone unknown, with a grim expression: "You'd better be useful to me, otherwise I will definitely let you know what it means to live a life worse than death!"

Although it is still early spring with very low temperatures, some mutated insects have already begun to become active. Just the moment they step into the environment, something might attack Lin Xiaoxiao.

Chu Xiao chuckled and came forward to pull out some grass. "This should be able to resolve most of the inflammation and swelling caused by insect bites. Master, would you like to try it?"

Without even a glance, Lin Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand towards the darkness: "Feng Yu, take me back."

Feng Yu walked out of the originally silent darkness. At this time, a pair of invisible wings were behind him, carrying him towards Lin Xiaoxiao. Chu Xiao hurriedly caught up with Lin Xiaoxiao and grabbed the corner of her clothes.

Ten minutes later, the protective wall of Hope Refuge came into view, and patrol members kept walking in neat steps on and outside the wall.

As Lin Xiaoxiao approached, a patrolman came over with a hunting dog and said hello: "Hello, Chief, welcome back."

Wang Wang Wang!

The hound kept growling threateningly in Chu Xiao's direction, which attracted the attention of all the patrol members.

However, because this person was the one who came back with Lin Xiaoxiao, the patrol captain politely asked, "Captain, who is this?"

"Nothing. This is the soul contract I just signed with the contractor. It's normal for the hound to be unfamiliar with him."

It was still early spring, and Lin Xiaoxiao rubbed her hands and held her coat tightly. The patrol team did not bother her any more and gave way.

"Director, if this contractor needs to frequently enter and exit the shelter in the future, it would be best to register his identity information. This would be much more convenient."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao, who was about to enter the shelter, paused. She turned and met the patrol captain's gaze with satisfaction. "That's good. This saves us trouble. You're doing a good job. Everyone entering and leaving the shelter must register. It's a good habit. I'll have Director Qian reward you later."

On the way to register with the patrol team, Chu Xiao teased: "Why, these people even dare to question the words of you, the director?"

Lin Xiaoxiao brushed off the raindrops and pulled her coat tighter around her. "That's called seriousness. Ever since a spy from the Holy Temple broke into the refuge, the patrols have become much more rigorous. Even when I come back, I still need to use the secret code to prove my identity."

Blowing hot air over her cold hands to draw warmth, Lin Xiaoxiao urged, "Let's finish the registration as soon as possible. It's really cold now that it's raining."

"Master, I'll get your thick coat."

Taking off his coat and wrapping it around Lin Xiaoxiao, Ling Hao glared at Chu Xiao unkindly: "Protect the master well. If she catches a cold this time, I don't mind giving you a good training!"

After saying this, Ling Hao turned around and headed towards the entrance of the shelter. He looked quite angry, but he looked quite lively.

Chu Xiao, who was threatened by his back, didn't care and moved closer to Lin Xiaoxiao, glancing at her coat with an ambiguous look in his eyes: "Why, does this guy like you?"

Lin Xiaoxiao wrapped her coat tightly around her, her expression unchanged. "Otherwise, it's perfectly normal for a beautiful woman like me who's interesting, kind, and capable to be liked by others. What's so strange about that?"

Chu Xiao's eyes sparkled: "Then you two..."

"Don't love me, it won't work."

At this time, they also arrived at a small gathering place outside the protective wall. Most of the buildings here were made of bricks and tiles mixed with the ashes of mutant animals.

Originally, Lin Xiaoxiao built part of it to provide a rest area for the patrol members to take a short break, but over time, each team of superpowers who went out hunting and ordinary people who were cultivating the land outside each hired people to build one small house after another near the patrol team's rest area.

Now a street has been formed here, which also includes a small market for simple trading of animal furs and various plant materials.

Even though it was late at night, there were still many small houses with lights on, and many people in the market area were selling their catch of the day.

It has to be said that even in the end times, humans who have become accustomed to modern life still retain the lifestyle of staying up late.

Pushing open the door of the small room, the patrol captain smiled at Lin Xiaoxiao. "We'll register here. Chief, I'll have someone prepare something for you to drink."

"This guy is quite sensible."

Chu Xiao followed Lin Xiaoxiao into the room while laughing. The warm feeling instantly dispelled the coldness from both of them.

Sitting on the sofa prepared for her, Lin Xiaoxiao picked up her tea and calmly looked at the confused figure trapped in the center of the magic circle: "It was really hard, I finally caught you."
