Pendulum: I'm a knife seller on credit, and I'm looking for Ah Cha to collect the debt.

This is a contract of sale specifically for the Fifth Young Master.

The content of the contract is very simple:

The Fifth Young Master is sold to Song Yuan as a slave today. From now on, the Fifth Young Master will be at Song Yuan's disposal and must not show any disobedience.

If Song Yuan died, the Fifth Prince would also die.

If the Fifth Prince died, Song Yuan would not suffer any harm.

The Fifth Young Master must support Song Yuan wholeheartedly and in all aspects and meet all of Song Yuan's needs.

……

"So if you die, I'll die too?" The Fifth Young Master was almost crying. "Knife seller, you're just a mortal with a lifespan of only a hundred years. So after a hundred years, I'll have to die too?"

"Then you die now. If you don't want to sign, don't sign." Without saying anything, Song Yuan took the indenture contract from the Fifth Young Master's hand.

The Fifth Young Master panicked at that moment: "No, I never had such thoughts, really!"

As he spoke, he quickly took back the indenture from Song Yuan's hand: "How could you be just an ordinary person? You can give me life with just one word, and you can kill me with just one word... You must not be an ordinary person."

That being said.

But just now the Fifth Young Master had taken a close look at Song Yuan.

Song Yuan was indeed a mortal.

His heart sank.

Beaten again and again.

The Fifth Prince was forced to sign a treaty, and it was a slave treaty at that. It was a joke, a dignified Taotie, when in history had he ever done something so abject?

Now it really exists.

The Fifth Young Master quickly signed his name on the indenture contract. He thought that it was just a piece of paper. Could it really be a binding force that could not be violated once signed?

I'm afraid not.

There might not even be any reaction at all.

However, before the Fifth Young Master had time to be happy, he discovered that the contract he had just signed was actually wrapped in a gentle golden force.

Floating in the air, and finally disappearing completely.

The paper contract finally turned into golden light and entered the bodies of Song Yuan and the Fifth Young Master.

The Fifth Young Master instantly felt as if he was bound by something, as if he was bound by the laws of nature.

"This is impossible? Knife seller, you want to tie me down with just a piece of paper? You'd better die!" After saying this, the Fifth Young Master rushed directly towards Song Yuan.

However, at this moment, a bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere and hit the Fifth Young Master's head hard, making him dizzy and with a pain that penetrated deep into his bones, forcing him to kneel on the ground and unable to get up.

Even rolling on the ground.

Song Yuan did not take any action to follow his words. The signing of the slave contract was not the result of consultation between Song Yuan and the system panel. There was no room for negotiation on this task on the system panel.

Perhaps it was because the Fifth Young Master had committed so many evil deeds that in the eyes of the knife-selling system, he had no chance of reforming himself and must die.

But as long as this task has not been completed, that is, as long as the Fifth Young Master is still alive, Song Yuan will have the effect of doing whatever he says.

After signing the slave contract, the Fifth Prince's behavior was bound by the laws of nature. He could not have any rebellious thoughts towards Song Yuan, otherwise he would be punished.

"How does it feel to be struck by heavenly thunder?" Song Yuan calmly watched the Fifth Young Master rolling on the ground. "As long as you don't think about how to harm me or disobey me, then this heavenly thunder will disappear. Otherwise, you will continue to feel the pain."

Although the Fifth Young Master was rolling on the ground, the thunder that appeared out of nowhere in the sky hit him with incredible precision every time, and he could not avoid it.

There was hardly any good meat left on his body, as he was struck by lightning and became burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

"You know what? Taotie, your newly grown flesh, struck by lightning, is emitting a particularly fragrant aroma." Song Yuan said calmly, "When you brought your cooked meat to me before, I didn't want to eat it at all. The reason is... you're already thousands of years old. I'm not interested."

"But it's different now," Song Yuan said, taking a deep breath. "I really want to sprinkle some salt on you, add some seasoning, maybe it will be more fragrant. Newly grown meat is different from the old bacon from thousands of years ago."

The Fifth Young Master was struck by the thunderbolt and had no power to fight back. He even seemed to feel the breath of his dragon father in the thunderbolt. After all, a real dragon can control the clouds and rain and even thunder.

So the Fifth Young Master quickly restrained his hostility towards Song Yuan, and he gradually became very honest until the thunder and lightning completely disappeared.

When the lightning disappeared, the Fifth Young Master even cursed in his heart: "This man who bought the knife on credit deserves to die."

Just after he finished saying this, the Fifth Young Master was hit hard by lightning in the heart. At this time, the Fifth Young Master was shaky and almost fell to the ground.

Now he no longer dared to have any bad thoughts towards Song Yuan.

He felt that he really deserved to die.

"Even if Song Yuan is a mortal with a lifespan of no more than a hundred years, I still have a hundred years to find some medicine to prolong his life. If he dies, I die too. What a broken contract." The Fifth Young Master sadly discovered that he had been tied to Song Yuan and could not be separated.

"It seems you have a deep understanding of this contract." Song Yuan glanced at the Fifth Young Master calmly. "In that case, from now on, you should pack up all your belongings. I hope to see you at the door of my blacksmith shop tomorrow morning. I still need a housekeeper."

It was indeed Song Yuan's sudden decision to sign the contract with the Fifth Young Master. As long as this task was not completed, Song Yuan would always have the ability to do whatever he said to the Fifth Young Master.

Wouldn't it be possible to let the Fifth Young Master be his driver, bodyguard, cook, and butler?

It was mentioned in Soul Ferry that the Fifth Young Master is the best cook and the food he cooks is especially delicious.

Song Yuan just wanted to try something salty. An ancient beast with a certain level of combat power, and who also likes to cook, isn't this a fighting version of the Snail Girl? Who wouldn't want that?

However, the contract also stated that if Song Yuan died, the Fifth Young Master would die as well, and the mission would be completed.

However, it was clearly written on Song Yuan’s task panel that if the tasks related to the Fifth Young Master were completed, Song Yuan would get a life.

In other words, Song and Yuan could be resurrected after completing their mission.

Song Yuan felt that his plan was a great success as he got a cheap thug, butler and cook, and also saved their lives.

"I don't know how long I can stay in this world, but during this period I can eat delicious meals every day and let Taotie be my slave. This is a nice life. It's wonderful just thinking about it." Song Yuan was clearly plotting against the Fifth Young Master.

After giving the Fifth Young Master the task, Song Yuan swaggered out of the Fifth Young Master's restaurant. Before leaving, Song Yuan reminded him, "Tomorrow morning I want to eat soup dumplings, the most authentic kind. I have a very picky tongue and can tell if they're not authentic."

The Fifth Young Master collapsed and said weakly: "I know."
