Bonds of souls

Xiao Lanhua's Unexpected Surprise

When he fell to the ground, the doctor made a decision and used her powers to design a special matrix whose function was to slow down the attackers' movements, which in fact happens, and then generate a strong light with a new technique forcing them closing their eyes and the intensity of the light was so intense that it momentarily blinded them, ending up blinding their patient as well, who felt someone pulling him by his antlers and whose odor that reached his nostrils indicated that it was from the human who had treated him.

Slowly regaining his vision while still seeing everything blurry, he realizes that the young woman has conjured a transportation matrix above them, with the stag demon feeling himself being pulled up into the air.

After they left the transport matrix in a place considerably far from where they were and whose formation disappeared after its use, the demon asks with his vision slowly normalizing, "Why did you treat me? And why did you rebel against that bastard?"

"You are injured. It is cowardly to attack someone so weak and I am against the act of attacking demons indiscriminately. I do not feel that you are dangerous. Besides, you are still my patient and I have not discharged you."

He is surprised by her response and realizes that the human next to her is different from the others he has met over the decades in his sporadic encounters with someone of her race.

Xiao Lanhua is overcome by fatigue because both techniques she used required considerable power and as she did not cultivate her powers properly because she focused more on medical skills, their use became doubly tiring, forcing her to sit on the ground while she was visible her tiredness would seem to anyone, with the stag admiring how much the demon master could handle and when the young woman bent forward a little, the necklace that her grandfather gave her became visible, making the demon widen his eyes, and then become astonished while looking at the young human.

Suddenly, it moves its ears and then, alarmedly turns its large head in a specific direction as it tracks the approach of its pursuer and remaining slave who, despite being kilometers away from where they were, were approaching faster and faster.

Then, he puts his nose on her arm and she is surprised by his action as she turns her face towards him who moved away after touching her, and then her eyes widen with what he asked for in a pleading tone, "We are tired and I am very hurt. That bastard is going to catch up to us because he still has one demon left. They are getting closer. I know that he doesn't want to kill me but rather capture me. Since I couldn't get away and my Fate is inevitable, I have made the decision to choose who I will serve. You have a hidden pulse. Therefore, we can make a master-slave contract."

"But if we do that you will lose your freedom and..."

"One way or another I will lose. I am fully aware that I will not be able to escape. If it is to be this way, at least I can choose who I will serve."

"But you do not know me."

She notices a gentle smile on his face that says, "Your attitudes and gestures say a lot about you. You are different from other humans."

"But..."

"Please make the contract with me. If I subject myself to the curse of the master-slave contract with you, he won't be able to capture me."

"Are you sure you want this curse?"

"Yes."

Then, the stag takes on his human-like form and that of a man with the appearance of twenty-four years old, leaving her surprised to see that he wore clothes that resembled a royal attire because only nobles of high status wore such clothes. His long black hair was partially tied up in a bun secured with a circular silver tiara with intricate details and pierced horizontally by a jade chopstick while his onyx eyes looked at her kindly.
