The Great Ruler: Starting with the Contract Goddess Luo Li

"If you're afraid of dying, hand over the antidote, and I'll spare your life."

Seeing the other person's fear, Lin Suzhou extended his left hand and bent it slightly.

"Hmph, here you go."

Zhao Tiandu had already exhausted himself fighting Luo Li, and now he would be at a greater disadvantage in fighting Lin Suzhou.

So he decisively took out a small wooden box from his storage bag and tossed it to Lin Suzhou.

Lin Suzhou took it, slid open the wooden lid, and found that it contained a sticky black plaster.

"external use?"

"nonsense!"

Zhao Tiandu rolled his eyes when he heard Lin Suzhou's words.

"Very well, you can die now."

As soon as Lin Suzhou finished speaking, he drew a fiery red longsword and shot it straight toward Zhao Tiandu's heart.

Then, gripping the dagger, he continued charging towards Zhao Tiandu.

"Clang!"

Zhao Tiandu slapped the longsword away and shouted angrily at Lin Suzhou, "You're even less trustworthy than me, a despicable person!"

"I don't need to keep my word with a scoundrel like you!"

Lin Suzhou replied and continued to attack Zhao Tiandu with his dagger.

But Zhao Tiandu was no pushover either, wielding his battle sword with fierce power.

Feeling his strength about to be exhausted, Zhao Tiandu gritted his teeth, pulled out a handful of lime powder, and threw it at Lin Suzhou.

Fortunately, Lin Suzhou had enough distance to dodge, and rolled to the left, preventing Zhao Tiandu from succeeding.

"If you kill me, aren't you afraid that Brother Ji Xuan will come looking for you?!"

At this point, Zhao Tiandu had exhausted all his tricks and began to make threats.

"Hmph, since I dared to kill you, I'm not afraid of his revenge!"

As soon as Lin Suzhou finished speaking, he charged at Zhao Tiandu again and began close combat.

Zhao Tiandu was exhausted at this point, and although the battle sword in his hand was extremely sharp, Lin Suzhou dodged it one by one.

With a final over-the-shoulder throw, Lin Suzhou subdued the exhausted Zhao Tiandu and slit his throat with a dagger.

Then they began looting the spoils, including some sharp magical artifacts, second-rate magical techniques, poisons, and antidotes.

The biggest gain was the Crimson Tokens, bringing Lin Suzhou's total number of tokens to nine.

"puff."

At this moment, Luo Li behind her suddenly spat out another mouthful of blood and then fainted in a daze.

Seeing this, Lin Suzhou no longer cared about destroying the evidence; the nearby spirit beasts would take care of it.

He carried Luo Li to a stone cave by a stream, placed her on a stone bed, and took out the antidote that Zhao Tiandu had given him.

Since it's for external use, we need to see where Luo Li is injured.

Gently unbuttoning Luo Li's black lotus skirt, a large expanse of snow-white skin was revealed.

However, there was a large purplish-red area on her left breast.

This appears to be the area of ​​poisoning.

Reaching out, Lin Suzhou scooped out some black ointment, looked at the jade-like body, calmed himself down, forced himself not to have any wild thoughts, and began to apply the medicine.

However, applying medicine naturally involves physical contact, which made Lin Suzhou very nervous.

After Lin Suzhou applied the ointment, Luo Li's complexion improved.

While waiting for Luo Li to recover, he used his longsword to stab several large fish by the stream.

After cleaning them, they lit a campfire by the cave and started grilling the fish.

Just as Lin Suzhou was about to get up to check on Luo Li after the fish was grilled, he unexpectedly felt a cool sensation pressed against his neck.

"You're awake?"

Lin Suzhou looked at the white blade resting on his right side of his neck and handed the grilled fish behind his back: "Are you hungry? This is the fish I grilled."

"You... you've soiled my body?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Suzhou's eyebrows twitched.

It's true that he had this idea, but when it came to taking advantage of someone's vulnerability, Lin Suzhou still knew that the system rewards were more important than that.

"You can test it yourself, right? And the fact that you came over to kill me proves that your lower body doesn't hurt."

Lin Suzhou looked helpless.

After a long while, Luo Li behind him sheathed her sword.

"That's right, I'm just a kind passerby. Here, grilled fish."

Lin Suzhou turned his head and handed her the grilled fish he was holding.

"I'm not hungry."

Luo Li shook her head, but it seemed she could smell the aroma of grilled fish, and her stomach suddenly growled in distress.

Upon hearing this commotion, even the usually aloof Luo Li blushed slightly.

"Eat up, just pretend I didn't see anything."

Seeing that Lin Suzhou insisted on handing it to her, Luo Li finally took it and sat down by the campfire.

By this time, the sun was already setting in the west, and the rosy glow of the clouds was shining into the west-facing cave, illuminating Luo Li's face and giving her fair complexion an even more unique beauty.

Like a dancer in the desert, if only she could smile.

"Whoosh!"

Seeing Lin Suzhou staring at her, Luo Li drew her sword again with her right hand and placed it on Lin Suzhou's neck.

"No, I don't want to watch anymore, I don't want to watch anymore."

Lin Suzhou quickly lowered his head and ate the grilled fish.

Seeing his appearance, a smile flashed in Luo Li's eyes, but it was caught by Lin Suzhou, who happened to look up.

Looking at her like this, Lin Suzhou couldn't help but stare in amazement again.

"Still watching!"

Luo Li feigned a reproachful anger as she stared at Lin Suzhou with her beautiful eyes.

"I'm not watching anymore."

Lin Suzhou memorized the image of the beautiful woman and continued eating his grilled fish.

After a while, he asked with concern, "How are your injuries now?"

After hearing this, Luo Li nodded: "I feel much better now, but don't expect me to repay you."

"It's fine if you don't repay me, it's your freedom anyway, just like I said before."

After saying this, Lin Suzhou asked the system in his mind: System, is my affinity with her full? Can we form a contract now?

"Ding, the host's affinity with the target character has reached the required level, a contract can be formed... Would the host like to form a contract with Luo Li as the first goddess?"

"contract!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully forming a contract with the goddess Luo Li and activating the personal panel function."

The system detected that the host's intimacy level with the goddess Luo Li is currently 4. The host will receive a corresponding reward for every 5 points the intimacy level with the contracted goddess increases.

Hearing the system's explanation of unlocking the rewards, Lin Suzhou sighed.

My intimacy level with Luo Li is only 4 points right now; there's still a long way to go.

Regaining his composure, Lin Suzhou quickly finished a grilled fish.

Seeing that Luo Li had almost finished eating, Lin Suzhou picked up a skewer of grilled fish and handed it to her: "Here, eat more to help recover from your injuries."

Just as Luo Li was about to reach out and take it, she suddenly stopped in mid-air, pursed her red lips, and her eyes turned cold: "No need, you can eat it yourself."

As soon as she finished speaking, she went back to lie down on the stone bed.

"Let's part ways tomorrow. Give me the antidote, and I'll repay you when we reach the Land of Protection."

Hearing her aloof and indifferent tone, Lin Suzhou felt a bitter taste in his mouth. This mission to win over the goddess was really difficult.

If only there were a system that would allow him to level up and have fun without thinking.

However, considering that in the original story, Mu Chen was chased by Luo Li for six months before Luo Li developed feelings for him.

He can't give up now!

Thinking of this, Lin Suzhou took a big bite of the fish.

After washing his hands, he walked up to Luo Li and hesitated before saying, "Luo Li, you'll have to apply the medicine again tonight."

"Bring me the ointment, I'll apply it myself."

Luo Li sat up and extended her hand to Lin Suzhou.

"Hmm, Luo Li, what's wrong!?"

Looking at Luo Li in front of him, Lin Suzhou asked with concern and a worried expression.
