Chapter 197: Are You Signing or Not?

Although Ye Lin could determine how long he had been trapped through his nocturnal emission counting method,

as the time trapped grew longer, Ye Lin gradually became irritable.

No matter what he did or tried, he couldn't break the darkness before him at all.

It wasn't until the morning of the sixth day that the darkness suddenly began to dissipate, and Ye Lin finally saw the source of the darkness.

A majestic and solemn throne stood in the center of the empty stone hall, and a woman sat upon it, as if the entire world were under her control.

The beauty of this woman was hard to describe in words; among all the women Ye Lin had ever seen, none could compare to her.

She was casually draped in a silver silk robe, with large areas of jade-like skin exposed to the air.

Her hair was like a waterfall, just enough to cover her forbidden areas, falling to the edge of the throne and shimmering with a faint golden light.

"Hello there, human."

The woman smiled charmingly, her plump, long, beautiful legs crossed, looking at Ye Lin with curiosity.

"I don't see anything special about you. You've been trapped in my Dark Barrier for so long and couldn't get out. I really don't know why Lord Butterfly Emperor is interested in you."

Ye Lin stared vigilantly at this stunning woman. He felt a terrifying aura from her, and from those purple eyes, he could guess that this woman was likely not human!

He remembered that He Yunfeng, the City Lord of Shencheng, had told him that if a Demon Clan member looked like a human, they must have at least a King-level bloodline.

And the name "Butterfly Emperor"... why did he feel it was a bit familiar?

"Who are you?" Ye Lin demanded.

"Me? I am the Soul-Devouring Empress."

The woman smiled sweetly and stood up, the fruits on her slender branches trembling.

Ye Lin's heart skipped a beat.

Empress!

Being able to use the title "Empress" meant this woman had an Emperor-level bloodline!

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. It's time to take you to see the Butterfly Emperor."

The Soul-Devouring Empress waved her hand, and Ye Lin immediately flew toward her uncontrollably.

Then Ye Lin felt the scene before him shift, and when it stabilized, he had arrived in front of a door.

"Go in. Lord Butterfly Emperor is waiting for you inside."

The Soul-Devouring Empress pushed Ye Lin inside without a word.

The light in the room was dim, and a sticky sound echoed in his ears, as if a large mass of mucus-covered flesh was wriggling on the ground.

"Hello, Ye Lin. We meet again."

A meatball the size of a person slowly crawled out of the darkness, looking like an enlarged, rotting black maggot.

The moment Ye Lin saw the meatball, his pupils shrank.

He finally knew why the name "Butterfly Emperor" felt familiar!

This guy was the one who had left a clone inside the Gate of Apocalypse to lure him!

A Soul-Devouring Empress with an Emperor-level bloodline could easily trap him; how terrifying must a Demon Clan member with an Emperor-level bloodline be?

What made Ye Lin's heart run cold even more was that this guy knew he possessed the Origin Ancient Artifact, the Eternal Balance!

This guy had captured him but didn't immediately move to snatch his Origin Ancient Artifact. What exactly did he want?

Unable to figure out the Butterfly Emperor's goal, Ye Lin dared not act rashly and quickly put on a smiling face.

"So it's Brother Butterfly Emperor! What a coincidence! Since we're so fated, why don't I treat you to a foot massage? I know a club that's very good; they have 92, 95, and 98 services."

"I don't have feet."

The disgusting meatball wriggled.

"Since you already know I am the Butterfly Emperor, I suppose Student Zhuge Qianxing must have told you all about me."

"Ye Lin, are you interested in joining the Demon Clan?"

The Butterfly Emperor's words made Ye Lin's eyes widen, and he couldn't help but point a finger at himself.

"Me?"

Recruiting him to join the Demon Clan? Was this guy serious?

"Indeed. The sea accepts all rivers, and for talent, my Demon Clan has never been stingy with offering an olive branch." The meatball slowly approached Ye Lin. "Besides, do you really trust Student Zhuge Qianxing?"

The Butterfly Emperor's tone was full of seduction.

"Can you trust the words of a man who calculates even against his own daughter and disciple? Aren't you afraid that in the end, you'll find you were just a pawn used by Student Zhuge Qianxing?"

"Let me ask you a simple question: if one day, you and Student Zhuge Qianxing's daughter must sacrifice one, who do you think Student Zhuge Qianxing would sacrifice?"

Ye Lin remained silent.

"Join the Demon Clan! I have been observing you, Ye Lin. Apart from your human bloodline, your personality and way of doing things make you a very qualified Demon Clan member!"

"You humans have a saying: 'Those who submit to circumstances are heroes.'"

"Only the Demon Clan is the most suitable destination for you!"

"As long as you join the Demon Clan, I can have monsters line up for you to kill, allowing your level to rise rapidly!"

Hearing the Butterfly Emperor's last sentence, Ye Lin's eyes instantly lit up.

He quickly moved close to the sticky meatball.

"Lord Butterfly Emperor, please, you must let me join the Demon Clan! I feel uncomfortable all over if I don't join the Demon Clan for a day! Don't underestimate the bond between me and the Demon Clan!"

"Is that so? Then sign this."

The meatball wriggled violently, and then a contract filled with demonic energy squeezed out from the cracks of the meatball and appeared before Ye Lin.

Ye Lin picked it up and took a look, his face turning black.

This thing was even more excessive than the indentured servitude contract he had Guo Qin sign. After signing that, Guo Qin just worked for him for free; after signing this, he would directly become the Butterfly Emperor's slave.

"Lord Butterfly Emperor, why do you want me to sign this? Don't you trust my character?" Ye Lin asked, heartbroken.

"Do you have character?" the Butterfly Emperor countered.

"How could I not? Don't slander me! Be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation! How could I, Ye Lin, have no character?"

"At three, I wrapped sheep poop in vegetable leaves and fed it to the sheep; at five, I stuffed chicken eggs back into the chicken; at eight, I helped an old lady run a red light; at twelve, I supervised the big sister next door to see if she was washing properly; at sixteen, when the big brother next door was away on business, I tried my best to help him take care of his beautiful wife. My friends all praised me for having the legacy of Cao Cao."

"You say I have no character, even though I'm a good person who's hard to find even with a lantern?"

Ye Lin was indignant, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Butterfly Emperor: "..."

"Don't give me that useless talk. Sign the Demon Contract immediately."

"Uh... about your Demon Contract, we're saying, it's not that I won't sign it, but how to sign it, when to sign it—this is a very critical issue, so the top priority is to find the key to the problem..."

"Are you fucking signing or not?"

"I'll sign your mother's head!" ===== CHAPTER 198 =====
