I make a contract with myself

"Throw him in a mass grave."

Xia Changqing looked cold and ordered his men to carry Sun Yan away who was struggling in pain.

The black curse pattern was a curse, and even the emperor of Yuan Kingdom could not escape death, let alone Sun Yan, who was not as good as him in cultivation.

Sun Yan died of a curse. Even if the General's Mansion asked, Xia Changqing could find a reason to evade it.

After all, high-level mysterious spirits are hard to come by!

This is a gift, and it is very precious...

As for the Curse of the Abyss, what is it? never heard of that!

You ask about curse marks? That's the ice bear's special talent. Who knew it could kill people!

The middle-aged man is very satisfied with this.

This is the effect he wants. They killed the person, but the problem is, you have no conclusive evidence.

On the one hand, it can cover up what happened today; on the other hand, it can disgust the General's Mansion and show goodwill to the Dihong Dynasty at the same time.

"Find the light of the abyss."

This was the death order given to Xia Changqing by the middle-aged man.

A person who dares to betray his parents and kill his sister with his own hands is worthy of trust.

Sun Yan's matter, whether it is big or small, is not as important as the light of the abyss.

Xia Changqing bowed and saluted, and after sending the middle-aged man away, he took out a black mask and put it on his face.

This face of mine is annoying to anyone who sees it!

……

Sun Yan lay in the mass grave for a day.

To be on the safe side, he remained motionless. What if someone was spying on him?

It wasn't until the next night that Ling Xia found him among the dead, pulled him out, and took him back.

Sun Yan continued to pretend to be dead.

Not long after, the two came to a cave.

"How is my brother?" Xie Xintong's voice sounded anxious.

"I am fine."

Sun Yan sat up like a normal person and asked doubtfully: "Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to go with the caravan?"

Xie Xintong touched Sun Yan's body with his hands and found that his injuries were not serious, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wherever my brother is, I will be there."

Liu Xian laughed at herself: "My thoughts have never been important."

"How could that happen?" the siblings said in unison.

Liu Xian smiled and teased the two children from time to time, which was quite fun.

She loves this little game!

"Ahem, you, are you really okay?"

Ling Xia was a little confused. People who were cursed by the abyss shouldn't react like this.

Even if you don't die, you will at least be in pain...

why?

Sun Yan's face darkened slightly. He wanted to curse, but his sister and Aunt Liu were by his side, so he endured it.

"The road is facing the sky, everyone goes to one side. Goodbye."

After saying that, Sun Yan took his sister's hand, stood up and left.

Ling Xia hurriedly followed, not leaving even an inch.

"It's endless, isn't it!" Sun Yan turned around and glared angrily.

"this is for you."

A storage bag filled with various treasures almost blinded him.

Sun Yan coughed dryly and put away the storage bag.

"You can follow me if you want, but you have to introduce yourself and the whole story first." Sun Yan said seriously.

Ling Xia nodded: "Okay."

The four of them returned to the cave, and Ling Xia explained everything.

"My name is Xia Ling'er, the subjugated princess of Yuan Kingdom."

Ling Xia...oh no, Xia Ling'er said something shocking.

However, Liu Xian and Xie Xintong were not interested in what she said at all, and even Sun Yan looked as expected.

The elf contract is a soul contract. When Sun Yan signed the contract with the Abyss Ice Bear, it was considered a soul touch.

The Abyss Ice Bear had two unforgettable memories, which once made Sun Yan deeply trapped in them and unable to extricate himself.

First, because of the existence of the curse of the abyss, it was despised by its own kind and humans. It wandered alone in the wild at a young age, living a precarious life.

Secondly, Xia Changqing left a message to Sun Yan. In order to keep the memory of the Abyss Ice Bear fresh, while leaving the message, he also mentally tortured it.

"Take care of my sister, Ling Xia, otherwise the curse of the abyss will take away your life!"

These are Xia Changqing's original words, and they are also a threat.

The princess who died at the city gate was actually an impostor!

When Sun Yan figured out the ins and outs of the matter, he felt horrified.

It is undeniable that Xia Changqing is a bastard, but he is really smart.

He deceived everyone, whether it was Sun Yan or the middle-aged man who cherished words like gold, they were all fooled by Xia Changqing.

"At first there were still doubts, but as the maid Ling Xia's work became better and better, the princess Xia Ling'er frequently appeared in public places, and the two of them often appeared at the same time. Gradually, everyone's suspicions were dispelled." Xia Ling'er explained.

"Two years ago..."

Sun Yan's lips twitched. The young girl in front of him looked more and more dangerous.

In other words, two years ago, Xia Changqing guessed that Yuan Kingdom would eventually be destroyed. From then on, he began to make preparations.

Not only did he train a substitute, he was even charged with treason and treason, and he also had to protect his sister...

But two years ago, Xia Ling'er was only sixteen or seventeen years old. She had been a pampered princess since childhood, but she was willing to abandon her identity and become a maid for two years, and she made everyone believe her.

Xia Changqing is a dangerous person, and his sister is not much better!

"You are one of the emperor's choices. We went to the Zhanwu Dynasty to seek help from the General's Mansion, but for some reason, the emperor is more optimistic about you."

At this point, Xia Ling'er became confused.

Sun Yan laughed twice and then asked a key question: "What happened two years ago?"

Xia Ling'er was silent for a moment, her eyes dim: "My father relied on his possession of the light of the abyss to sign a contract with a cursed elf. My brother felt that this was inappropriate, so he began to plot secretly."

In the final analysis, it is still because of the abyss!

"What exactly is the abyss?" Sun Yan asked.

"I don't know." Xia Ling'er shook her head.

"what?"

Sun Yan was a little confused.

The abyss is right next to your capital. You told me you didn’t know?

You deserve to destroy the country!

"What we know about the abyss is the curse of the abyss and the light of the abyss, and nothing else." Xia Ling'er said almost everything that should be said and what should not be said.

Sun Yan leaned against the cave wall, and Xie Xintong leaned on his shoulder, already asleep.

The night passed in silence.

When setting off the next day, Sun Yan asked the last question: "Why me?"

He doesn't hesitate to use the curse of the abyss to hold him hostage, but also wants his sister to stay with him. Is it possible that he really has the aura of the so-called protagonist?

"Brother Huang felt that I might not be able to survive alone outside, so he wanted to find someone to take care of me, preferably someone who would not die easily." Xia Ling'er said with a smile.

"My fees are very expensive." Sun Yan shook her storage bag, "This is this year's protection fee. Remember to prepare next year's share."

Xia Ling'er: "..."

Xia Changqing calculated a lot, but finally missed one thing.

The curse of the abyss actually has no effect on Sun Yan!
