Chapter 003

When Wen Jin woke up for the third time, his whole body felt extremely weak, even more intense than the previous two times. It seemed that forcibly opening the magical tool was still an irrational act. He immediately checked his body; the demon core hadn't recovered, and the meridians inside were in chaos. After sleeping for such a long time, there was no improvement, and he couldn't help but sigh.

This couldn't go on.

Especially regarding the demon core, although he had a couple of high-quality Concentration Pills in his magical tool, he really had no strength to open it. It was quite frustrating to have a bunch of treasures but not being able to take them out. Wen Jin experienced this feeling now.

Even if he immediately took one of those excellent Concentration Pills, the effect couldn't be guaranteed. Wen Jin had lived for thousands of years, but it was the first time his demon core had cracked, and it happened in a world with such thin spiritual energy. It was likely that nothing would work.

Thinking of this, Wen Jin expanded his spiritual consciousness and found that besides him, there was another person in the room-the one who had repaid kindness with enmity. He remembered the smell of that guy! However, the foul Zerg scent in the room had dissipated a lot, the blood had been cleaned up, and the person's toxins had also reduced.

Then Wen Jin couldn't help but think of the contract inside his body. When he thought of that contract, he felt quite unhappy. At the same time, a cold voice entered his ears.

"Awake?"

The two words stunned Wen Jin. Initially, he couldn't understand the words spoken by the other party, but whether it was due to the contract's effect, he could understand the meaning. Immediately, he had a questioning expression. He hadn't opened his eyes; he had just extended his spiritual consciousness to sense. Although the human in front of him was not weak, he wasn't powerful enough to detect Wen Jin's movements...

What's going on?

Wen Jin seriously wondered if this human had some ability he didn't know about.

Watching the little creature's barely visible ears twitch behind its head, and its eyes refusing to open, Devitt couldn't help but soften his gaze. His natural senses were keen, and over time, he had observed certain aspects deeply. Even though the little fox hadn't opened its eyes, he sensed the moment its breathing rate changed.

Just testing... He deliberately lowered his voice, not expecting this little creature to react so cutely.

Devitt believed that the contracted beast's senses wouldn't be weaker than his. The little fox, awake with closed eyes, was likely cleverly exploring its surroundings. It might be a self-protective instinct of the beast, but in front of someone who had been on battlefields, accustomed to conspiracies and traps every day, it seemed a bit naive.

But since the little fox refused to open its eyes, Devitt didn't want to expose it. He originally intended to continue reading files, but before five seconds passed, he couldn't help but close the terminal files. Sitting straight at the edge of the bed-there wasn't a mirror in front, otherwise Devitt would surely see his current appearance, enough to make his past self seriously frown at the boring behavior.

"You've slept for eight hours," Devitt said, poking Wen Jin's forehead with his finger. Then he reached out to touch the soft ears behind his head.

Don't touch randomly!

The little fox emitted an impatient purring sound.

As if he hadn't heard, Devitt continued to touch. "There's a banquet outside with Libek's specialty. It's the meat of a border beast, quite rare, and it tastes good. Do you want to eat?"

Devitt could clearly feel that as soon as he said this, the long ears of the little fox stiffened. Earlier, it had been clearly avoiding him with a frequency of movements indicating its intention. However, now it seemed to freeze, as if it had been caught off guard. In the moment Devitt sensed this, his chest couldn't help but shake twice.

He actually smirked! He actually dared to smirk!

Wen Jin inwardly repeated three times, "I am a reasonable great demon, I am a reasonable great demon," then opened his eyes and slapped Devitt's face with a paw, "Awoo!"

No laughing allowed!

Since childhood, Wen Jin loved to eat. Even after transcending the need for food, he couldn't resist tasty things. When he was very young, in order to taste a rare dish, Wen Jin even exchanged a jade pendant that had been with him for decades. After eating to his heart's content, he foolishly entertained the idea of going home with the person, only to be dragged away and scolded by his master. It was a terribly embarrassing incident, and it was said that even the buddies on the nearby mountain heard his screams.

Since then, Wen Jin had determinedly turned over a new leaf... learning the art of deceit to indulge in food and drink.

But that was all in the past. While Wen Jin indeed loved to eat, he was by no means a person who would sacrifice his dignity for food. What's more, the so-called specialties of this strange place-did they really think he would fall for it? Specialty... Wen Jin's gaze revealed a hint of hesitation.

Witnessing the little fox's eyes, transitioning from stubbornness to determination, then to hesitation, and finally lifting its eyelids to sneak a glance at him, Devitt felt like something had struck his heart.

He used to genuinely have no feelings for contracted beasts. A friend had a colorful bird for over twenty years, carrying it everywhere. Devitt wouldn't criticize others, but he felt such little creatures were unnecessary for himself.

However, the little fox in front of him... made him experience a different sense of warmth. He wondered if it was the influence of the contract.

Facing Devitt's gaze, Wen Jin couldn't resist moving closer and using his paw to push the man's scruffy chin. Then, he grinned at Devitt, his paw pressing down even harder, "Awoo." I don't need you to give it to me! I can get it with my own abilities!

"Want to eat?" Devitt clearly misunderstood Wen Jin's intention. He took the little creature's paw down, holding it in his hand. However, the fox immediately pulled it away. Unfazed, Devitt rubbed Wen Jin's head, "Aren't you afraid I'll sell you?"

I've slept for eight hours, and you haven't sold me yet. Are you waiting for me to wake up before selling? Wen Jin, with a paw, casually pushed away Devitt's hand, then licked his paw's white fur, thinking that this guy looked tall and imposing, but Wen Jin knew his own situation better than anyone, and there was also the troublesome fox contract... Wen Jin didn't want to recall it, but he understood that as long as the contract existed, this man wouldn't dare to act against him at least until his body recovered.

He also needed to stay here for a while. Wen Jin thought about it and squinted his fox eyes. He guessed right; this man had an extraordinary background. The room was filled with richer spiritual energy than the outside, for unknown reasons. Still, he would figure it out.

"Your alertness has decreased," Devitt, however, clearly didn't connect with Wen Jin's thought process. He mumbled to himself, and his voice was low.

But Wen Jin immediately widened his eyes, reaching out with his paw to pat the man's face. He felt this person was really unreasonable. How could he accuse the fox without evidence?

This time, the other party was prepared. As Wen Jin's paw approached, Devitt turned his face, and the fox's paw smacked onto the bed.

But he still wasn't convinced!

"Wu wu wu awoo!" Two guards stood outside the door, and there were eighteen more guards divided into three patrols just outside. Beyond them, there were about a hundred guards altogether! I can clearly sense all of them. Why do you say my alertness is low!
