Chapter 72 - 67

Silhouettes of the trees were casted down from the bright full moon in the dark sky as shadows kept moving through the forest. The butler was carrying his young master in his arms as they traversed through the forest. It was inevitable to let the silver haired young man walked on her own as she had no cultivation and she couldn't just use her deity powers.

The thick foggy forest was far from the Yu household as they discovered that Yu Lee In was hiding in a cabin at that place. The shadow guards had already surrounded the place without knowledge of the target while Chun and the butler were coming.

"Young lord, lately you're getting heavy." The comment of the butler made the silver haired young man irritated, even though she was dressed in a boy's clothing, she had still some lady insecurities.

"Put me down, Art," Chun instantly replied with a grumble on her voice.

Coincidentally, they arrived outside of the alighted cabin as a shadow guard showed up and stated that Yu Lee In was inside. The silver haired young man didn't do anything extra as she strode in with her lazy demeanor.

The door opened and the furious-looking person was about to yell at the mastermind behind his capture when he was stunned to see a beautiful young man who walked in. The youth was around 17 years with an odd hair color and a mixed colored eyes, she exuded a trace of laziness as she smiled at the former head patriarch.

"You must be Yu Lee In?" Chun asked while observing the kneeling man with a tigth rope tied on both of his hands by his back.

"Yes! And what do you want?" His voice had a hint of impatience as he looked at the other. He wasn't impressed by the scheme of this young man as he was caught unguarded.

Previously, he just came from his rented inn when a messenger handed him a letter saying that the boss that wanted to buy the enchantment was interested on meeting face-to-face. He was reluctant to sell this enchantment as it was the family heirloom that he took from the Yu household deeming it to be having an unmatched power within it. When he got his hands on it while he escaped, he tried every means to trigger it but it was no use. It didn't budge.

The enchantment looked like a crystal-like rock with red highlights on its body when it would be shone under the light. At first when he successfully took it as he ran away from the Yu household, he felt overjoyed as he could finally gain his own power and come back to the household in order to retrieve his position as the head but he didn't expect that the legendary object was just a useless piece of rock. While examining, it weighted 10 kilograms and it was a precious stone due its unique qualities. Because of his sudden escaped and having not enough money to sustain him, he decided to sell it to a gem collector that he knew.

Unfortunately, he did not think that the silver haired young man setted a trap for him. He had been in hiding for three years and he unconsciously let down his guard for money.

The silver haired young man had no interest on talking longer with Yu Lee In as took the rock object on the table while playing it on her hands. "So this was the object that you stole from your family? What's the use of this?"

Chun examined closely the lame rock. She didn't feel anything from it as she threw it carelessly to Art while the butler caught it easily. If one would see this scene, the silver haired young man acted like a hooligan with her fellow subordinates surrounding the man.

Yu Lee In glared at the unknown youth as he didn't responded. Everyone had deemed him to be useless after he was poisoned affecting his own judgement and demeanor when he was still the head patriarch. He believed that he was schemed by his cousin Yu Chuyun, that's why he had no goal other than taking his revenge when he had a chance to come back to the estate.

Reading through his thoughts, the silver haired young man lazily stated, "Yu Chuyun is dead."

A hint of surprised resurfaced on Yu Lee In as he was not inform by this great news. Then…?

"No, you don't have any possibility of claiming the position." That was the truth as the majestic Yu Luo was currently the head patriarch.

Before Yu Lee In could respond, Chun cut to the chase. "Why did you leave the Yu household and stole that?"

Knowing that it was useless to conceal anything from this imposing young man. He replied, "I wanted to gain the power of that enchantment in order to retrieve my position but I didn't expect that it was just a myth of the family ancestors."

It was believed that the enchantment brought immeasurable power to the ancestor and when he perished he left the enchantment as the Yu family heirloom. But his hopes got him down as it was just a piece of rock. For three years of his hiding, he consulted to every experts that he knew about this object but they always had the same result. The object was just a unique rock.

Chun squinted her eyes inquisitively as she probed again, "You didn't know about the murders?"

Yu Lee In frowned as he spoke, "What murders?"

After talking to the former head patriarch, she left him unconscious in the cabin as they silently went back. She had no plans on delivering him back to the Yu household as she just sent an anonymous letter of his whereabouts to Yu Luo.

Chun was the last one to leave the cabin after confirming that she had erased the memories of Yu Lee In with their encounter. She discovered this ability when she accidentally looked into Lerrent's childhood memory and she just tested her conjecture if she could somehow manipulate a person's memory and she was right. Though, it was energy consuming as she felt tiredness from her body.

The silver haired young man decided that after this case, she would start cultivating her divine energy and practicing her special ability that she instinctively knew that it was related to her past deity self.

Back at the sleeping quarters of the silver haired young man, she was drying her hair with a towel while wearing a bathrobe as she glanced at the stoic butler standing three meters away from her. Chun just got out from her warm bath and she felt relaxed from it while she was in her female form. The attractive and delicate appearance of the silver haired young lady made the butler divert his eyes away as he felt his trembling heart from the sight.

"I thought you had something to talk to, Art?"

The sudden inquiry of Chun caught the butler off guard. "Yes, young lord. I am reminding you about the contract."

She remembered the first time she met Art was during her most vulnerable state. It was at the Hiyasmi Island after she broke down and almost killed herself when she realized that her disastrous constitution ceased her mother's life, if not for being the reincarnated Pandora and the help of Art as she was losing her spirit, she could have died.

They were tied by a contract not because of having an intimate relationship as ȧssumed by the Demon King and his kind but they had a deal. Art was already fulfilling his while Chun haven't started her part of the agreement. She would be able to fulfill her part as she reached her 18 years of age.

The Shuho bloodline had special qualities that only the prince of demon knew and could help him gaining his goal.

"Should you drink to me directly or I should just transfer it in a bag for convenience?" Chun hesitantly asked as she was nervous to feel another pain after coming back to time. She just wanted to forget that agonizing pain she felt when the demon general ripped her arm off. That kind of pain and despair, she wanted to avoid it.

Art sensed a hint of fear from his young master, not knowing why she reacted like that. He teased while maintaining his blank expression though his voice had hoarseness in it, "Drinking it directly makes it fresher and sweeter."
