The Great Ruler: Starting with the Contract Goddess Luo Li

Only after Luo Li had massaged both sides of Lin Suzhou's body did Lin Suzhou stop pretending and slowly climb out of the stone bed.

"Thank you so much, Luo Li."

"No need, we owe each other nothing now."

This was the first time Luo Li had been in such close contact with a man, and the blush on her face hadn't faded yet.

"But I also saved your life."

"Even if you hadn't helped me yesterday, I could have killed them before I fell."

Seeing that Lin Suzhou actually wanted to take advantage of her kindness, Luo Li drew her Luo Shen Sword again in an instant.

"Okay, we're even."

Lin Suzhou quickly raised his hand and nodded repeatedly.

"Pfft."

Looking at his rather comical appearance, Luo Li suddenly smiled, her beautiful eyes becoming more lively and showing more of the vitality a young girl should have, no longer so lifeless.

You actually laughed.

Lin Suzhou looked at Luo Li, who was smiling radiantly, and said with delight.

Clearly, their relationship had grown closer; otherwise, why would Luo Li smile at him?

Upon inquiring with the system and learning that his intimacy level with Luo Li had reached 9 points, Lin Suzhou was overjoyed.

It seems my intuition was right this time!

She smiled at me. Could it be that she likes me?

"And then, why are you so happy?"

Luo Li's smile was fleeting, and she quickly returned to her usual indifference.

I want to say that you look even more beautiful when you smile.

Lin Suzhou said these words to her very sincerely.

Luo Li was stunned for a moment when she saw his serious expression.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, your intimacy with goddess Luo Li has reached 16. Reward: 20% increase in sword-type spirit weapon comprehension, and 1 spirit weapon upgrade card."

Seeing the notification sound of the system issuing rewards, Lin Suzhou's persistence finally paid off.

"Now that your injuries are healed, I'm leaving. Don't come near me again, or you might find yourself in danger!"

As soon as Luo Li finished speaking, she turned to leave.

But Lin Suzhou reached out and grabbed her small hand.

"you……!?"

"Luo Li, I like you."

Seeing the anger that appeared between the girl's brows as she turned away, Lin Suzhou no longer hid and boldly confessed his love.

We had just met before, but now our intimacy level is 16.

Moreover, if he doesn't confess now, he'll probably have a really hard time getting close to Luo Li again.

"But I... I can't, I don't have time for dating."

As Luo Li finished speaking, pain appeared on her pretty face.

A young girl was told from a young age that she had the mission of restoring the former glory of the Luo Shen clan.

This immense burden fell on her shoulders, bringing only immense pressure.

Therefore, Luo Li began to cultivate diligently from a young age, not wasting a single moment of her time.

"If you have anything to do, I will always be by your side, no matter how difficult or tortuous the road ahead may be."

Lin Suzhou looked at Luo Li with unwavering determination.

Looking into his fiery eyes, Luo Li's mind, which was focused solely on cultivation, suddenly became chaotic.

Yesterday, she was seriously injured, exhausted after fleeing hundreds of miles, and poisoned. She was contemplating taking her own life.

But then, Lin Suzhou suddenly appeared in her life like a divine intervention.

After years of living alone, she found herself yearning for companionship.

Seeing that Lin Suzhou had killed all those who were chasing her, the last thing she saw as she fell was a panicked face.

Is this person... here to save her?

When she opened her eyes again, she saw that Lin Suzhou was already grilling fish, and her belt was loose and had been taken off.

Just as she thought Lin Suzhou had taken liberties with her and put her sword to his neck, he surprisingly did not react in any way to save himself.

Instead, give him a grilled fish...

Although these events only lasted two days, they added something to her otherwise empty heart.

She couldn't explain it clearly.

But suddenly, she felt reluctant to leave Lin Suzhou...

"You want to pursue me, right?"

"Yes, so Luo Li, you've agreed?"

Upon hearing Luo Li's words, Lin Suzhou's face lit up with surprise and delight.

"no……"

Just as Lin Suzhou thought there was no hope and his eyes dimmed again, Luo Li's words rang in his ears.

"Now I'm coming to hunt you down. If you can make it to the protected area alive, I'll agree to temporarily team up with you. If you die... hmph."

Luo Li gave a final cold snort, then said to him seriously, "Now we'll start the countdown, three..."

"Luo Li, wait a minute, I'm not ready yet..."

"two."

Lin Suzhou immediately dashed out of the cave, not even bothering to collect his clothes from the stone bed, and almost tripped and fell.

"Pfft."

Looking at his rather disheveled figure, Luo Li smiled again. The warm sunlight from the rising sun shone on her face, adding a touch of radiance, as if a fairy had stepped out of a painting.

"System, I want to use the Spirit Weapon Enhancement Card!"

Looking back at Luo Li, who had already started walking and was chasing after him, Lin Suzhou shouted to the system in his heart.

But the system only told him how to use it...

"I have to do everything."

Lin Suzhou dodged Luo Li's sword strike with a swift movement.

Then he took out a fiery red longsword, and a golden card appeared in his hand before he stuck it on the longsword.

"Buzz!"

Soon the longsword began to vibrate, seemingly enjoying the immense power brought by the card.

As the dazzling red light faded, the once dull and ordinary red one-handed sword underwent a dramatic transformation.

It was nearly five feet long and radiated crimson flames, just like a divine weapon in a web-based siege game.

As Lin Suzhou ran, he suddenly stumbled into a dead end.

Luo Li actually followed him in, showing no regard for past feelings. With a wave of her hand, she slashed at him with her black longsword.

"Clang!"

Lin Suzhou raised his hand to block, and even if Luo Li stubbornly thrust her sword again, Lin Suzhou was able to steadily receive it.

It seems that the 20% sword-type weapon comprehension has come into play.

However, when Luo Li used her sword technique, the dazzling sword light came swung down, and Lin Suzhou had no choice but to run away again.

There was nothing I could do; I had never practiced any spiritual techniques or moves.

Like Pigsy after drinking alcohol, he finally revealed his true form.

that's it,

He fled, she chased.

The two walked one after the other, which attracted curious glances from some of the trainees.

As they continued their chase, the two drew ever closer to the fourth protected site.

……

A month later, a massive city appeared before Lin Suzhou's eyes.

"We're almost there..."

Before Lin Suzhou could even feel his joy, another sword beam slashed from behind.

"Clang! Clang!"

Lin Suzhou easily blocked the attack with a raised hand.

During this month, Lin Suzhou's swordsmanship improved considerably under Luo Li's relentless pursuit.

This made Lin Suzhou suspect that Luo Li's threat to hunt him down was a training exercise.

"Luo Li, I won!"

Lin Suzhou pointed to the outline of the building in front of him and smiled.

"You haven't gone in yet."

The silver-haired girl behind him blocked Lin Suzhou's path, slowly raising the Luoshen Sword in her hand, and the world seemed to quiet down.

"Your swordsmanship has improved a lot this month. Let's see if you can withstand three of my sword strikes."
