Chapter 697 I promise you.

Chapter 697 I promise you.

Finally, after a suffocating silence, Hei Xie took a deep breath and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Let... let me think about it again."

He was still struggling inside and he didn't know how to make a decision.

Su Chenyin nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll give you some time to think about it. But I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible. Time is running out and we don't have much time to waste."

After saying that, she stared at Hei Xie closely, with a hint of expectation in her eyes, hoping that Hei Xie could make the right choice.

In this eerily quiet space, the atmosphere became increasingly solemn.

Heixie was like an ant on hot pot, pacing back and forth anxiously.

Every step he took seemed to step heavily on his uneasy heart.

And every time he stopped and fell into deep thought, all kinds of thoughts in his mind ran wild like wild horses, torturing him to the point of collapse.

He knew very well that this decision would be an important turning point in his life.

Once he takes this crucial step, there is no turning back and he must bear all the consequences alone.

"Can I really trust her? Is she just using me? If I agree to her, will I fall into a bigger trap?"

Heixie kept asking himself this question in his heart, his eyes revealing a hint of confusion and fear.

Su Chenyin, Jun Yijue and Bai Shang stood quietly by the side, their eyes never leaving Heixie, waiting for Heixie's decision.

Su Chenyin's eyes were full of anticipation and worry.

She hoped that Hei Xie could let go of his stubbornness and make the right choice, because this not only affected the success of her plan, but also the safety of the entire six realms.

At the same time, she was also worried that Heixie would make a wrong decision due to momentary impulse, leading to irreversible consequences.

Bai Shang whispered, "Sister Yinyin, Hei Xie is used to freedom. He may need some time to accept the fact that he will soon be contracted with humans. Let's give him some more time."

Su Chenyin nodded slightly: "Well, I hope he can figure it out as soon as possible."

Time is like the sand in an hourglass, passing by second by second, and you can seem to hear the subtle sound of each grain of sand falling.

The entire space seemed to be cast under a spell, so frozen that it made people feel suffocated.

Heixie's pace gradually slowed down, and his eyes became more determined.

He finally stopped, turned his head, and his eyes shot straight at Su Chenyin like an arrow.

He clenched his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "Okay, I promise you."

The voice was low and suppressed, as if it contained endless anger and unwillingness.

Then, he added viciously: "But you must remember your promise and don't break it. If you dare to go against what I said today, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will definitely make you pay a painful and unbearable price for it!"

After saying that, his eyes stared at Su Chenyin, as if he wanted to see through her.

Faced with such a fierce threat from Hei Xie, Su Chenyin just frowned slightly, and a trace of imperceptible worry appeared on her beautiful face.

But soon, this trace of worry disappeared, and was replaced by a sense of calmness and composure.

She nodded gently: "Hei Xie, don't worry, I will definitely keep my promise. But the premise is that you can also abide by the contract between us."

"You must promise me that you will not hurt innocent people at will, you will not destroy the balance of the six realms, and you are not allowed to have the slightest thought of betraying me. Otherwise... you will bear the consequences yourself."

As Su Chenyin's last word fell, the entire space seemed to suddenly breathe a sigh of relief.

The extremely tense atmosphere instantly eased a lot, and even the light of the runes on the altar gradually softened, as if cheering for their cooperation.

The dark aura on Hei Xie was no longer so violent and gradually became calm.

Hei Xie snorted in a low and disdainful tone: "Humph, as long as you abide by the terms of the contract, I will not easily betray you."

"But if you dare to do something shameful in secret, don't blame me, Hei Xie, for turning my back on you! You will be in trouble when the time comes!"

His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of coldness and threat.

Bai Chang, who was standing at the side, could no longer hold back and said softly, "Hei Xie, I advise you to behave yourself. This contract is not just a casual talk. Once it is officially signed, its binding force cannot be underestimated. I hope you can keep your promise and don't make a mistake that you will regret because of a momentary impulse."

Her voice was soft and melodious, as pleasant to the ears as the song of a nightingale, but the majesty contained in it made Hei Xie dare not underestimate it.

Hearing Bai Shang's warning, Hei Xie glared at her fiercely, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness.

Although he was somewhat afraid of Bai Chang's righteous power, his stubborn mouth still refused to give in and admit defeat: "Humph, stop pretending to teach me a lesson here!"

"I have lived for so many years, don't I know the weight of the contract? As long as you guys don't mess with me, we can naturally keep to ourselves and live in peace."

After saying that, Heixie turned his head to the side and no longer looked at Bai Shang.

Su Chenyin nodded slightly: "In that case, let's start preparing to sign the contract."

After saying this, she gently raised her jade arm and stretched out her white hand forward. A snow-white contract light instantly rose from her palm.

Heixie stared at the white light of the contract with mixed feelings.

However, after some inner struggle, he finally slowly stretched out his right hand and slowly approached Su Chenyin's palm.

Just as their fingertips were about to touch, time seemed to freeze.

Then, a contract mark as black as ink suddenly gushed out from Hei Xie's palm, like a nimble black dragon, pouncing towards the white light with its fangs and claws bared.

At the same time, the white light was not to be outdone. It danced like a snow-white phoenix and headed towards the black dragon.

At the same time, the white light was not to be outdone. It danced like a snow-white phoenix and headed towards the black dragon.

They are like a pair of relatives who meet again after a long separation, hugging each other and unable to part.

Gradually, the two rays of light, one black and one white, began to slowly merge into Su Chenyin's brows.

The moment the contract was completed, an extremely powerful force suddenly erupted in Su Chenyin's body.

The force was so fierce that it seemed to break through her body.

It has the depth and violence of darkness, as if it can devour everything, but it also contains the purity and light of justice, giving people endless hope and warmth.
