Three-Year Agreement

Watching the scene enveloped in electric light, where there was no reaction or even a hint of defensive Dou Qi, Mo Rouxin finally breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to Mo Yi with a faint smile, softly saying, "Father, it seems that the husband you've chosen for me... doesn't quite qualify..." She stopped mid-sentence, shaking in disbelief as she looked back. Her eyes, filled with shock, were fixed on the dissipating purple Dou Qi. In such a scenario, even a Warrior would struggle to emerge unscathed, let alone a Fighter. Yet now, the dispersing purple Dou Qi revealed a figure wrapped in a red Dou Qi, faintly resembling a garment...

"Dou Qi Garment?!" "No, it's not! The Dou Qi Garment doesn't look like this, what is this exactly...?" Shocked voices filled the room as everyone stared at the peculiar scene. The light purple Dou Qi and electric sparks disintegrated as they approached the red Dou Qi around Li Yi, absorbed and becoming part of it.

Finally, Li Yi stepped out of the dissipating purple Dou Qi, confronting Mo Rouxin with a smile. He appeared before her in a flash, his hand already at her throat, his smile indescribably pleasing. "You wretched girl, wretched woman... I really... really... really feel like strangling you!" Li Yi whispered into Mo Rouxin's ear, each word deliberate. "But I've changed my mind. What's the fun in death? I want you to live a life worse than death!"

Mo Rouxin's face, initially shocked, turned cold. "Can you do it?" she challenged. "Want to see if we can?" Li Yi retorted, his left hand slowly moving towards Mo Rouxin's chest, his gaze intently observing her expressions. Noticing Li Yi's intentions, Mo Rouxin's eyes flickered with fear, quickly concealed by her calm demeanor. She turned her head, asking flatly, "What do you want?"

"What do I want?" Li Yi licked his lips. "Wretched woman, if I can rape you once, I can do it again. Do you believe that?" "If you dare, just try!" Mo Rouxin defied.

Li Yi sneered, his left hand firmly landing on her chest. Mo Rouxin couldn't help but moan. "Enough! The fight is over, Mo Rouxin, you should be satisfied now!" Mo Yi, unable to bear it any longer, intervened. Despite the low volume of Li Yi and Mo Rouxin's conversation, their words hadn't escaped the hearing of the Warriors present. Allowing Li Yi to rape Mo Rouxin in front of so many would spell the end of the Mo family's reputation.

Li Yi let go, his back dripping with cold sweat. He had been caught off guard by Mo Rouxin's attack, nearly losing his life. He realized that to win on this Dou Qi continent, cunning alone wouldn't suffice; high-level techniques were vital. His gaze fell on the Yunhuang Ring on his finger, determined to learn more powerful techniques from the Old Coot.

His eyes returned to Mo Rouxin. Although he appeared victorious, Li Yi knew it was an unglamorous win. This sense of defeat troubled him. Suddenly, he remembered the attack from the Great Elder—if he hadn't used the Dou Qi Garment immediately, his victory would have been uncertain.

"I haven't lost!" Mo Rouxin's voice broke the silence. "I haven't won, but I haven't lost either... Only if I die or concede does it count as a loss. So, Li Yi..." She stared directly into his eyes, "If you're a man, kill me! Prove your victory. If you can't, then admit defeat!"

Her words stunned everyone, not expecting such brazenness from a lady of her standing. Only Li Yi understood her meaning—"Even if I, Mo Rouxin, die here today, I don't want Li Yi to touch me again! Even if you have me, it will only be my corpse!"

Li Yi licked his dry lips, his mind racing. Killing Mo Rouxin here was nearly impossible, but admitting defeat would imply fear of a woman.

Li Yi, with a swift movement of his mind, gently traced his finger along Mo Rouxin's smooth cheek, lifting it slightly at her jaw. "Heh, such a headstrong woman," Li Yi murmured, "Wretched woman, do you know... I suddenly find you quite interesting. Imagine, you despise me now, but what if one day you fall hopelessly in love with me, and after I've had my fill, I cruelly cast you aside... wouldn't that be intriguing?"

"So, I won't kill you... nor will I admit defeat... but I'll give you a chance," Li Yi smiled, "Three years. I give you three years. If you can defeat me then, I, Li Yi, will do as you wish. But if you lose to me after three years... then you must willingly become my woman, with no regrets or complaints... Woman! Do you dare accept?"

Mo Rouxin bit her lip, and after a moment, replied in a clear, tranquil voice, "Fine! If you lose in three years, I, Mo Rouxin, will cut you to pieces! But if I lose, I shall serve you for life, without regrets!"

Observing Mo Rouxin's face flushed with agitation, Li Yi lifted her chin with a light touch... Such an interesting woman! A smile graced his lips, and in the next instant, before Mo Rouxin could react, he swiftly kissed her lips.

Mo Rouxin was stunned, her body stiffening. She might have expected Li Yi to rip off her clothes and assault her, but his kiss left her completely unprepared. After some time, she shook herself free from his hold.

Watching Mo Rouxin's astonished face, Li Yi licked his lips wounded by her bite, his smile radiant, "Well, woman... that settles our agreement! Work hard these three years; if you fall into my hands, death won't be an option for you!"

Mo Rouxin glared at Li Yi, then gritted her teeth, "You... you... Li Yi! I will wait for you in three years! Waiting for you to come to me!" With that, she turned and fled from the hall.

Left alone, Li Yi tilted his head, watching Mo Rouxin's retreating figure with a smile. Isn't it true that the fiercer the woman, the more a man's desire to conquer is aroused? This was an answer he didn't need; he knew the three-year promise was significant for both of them. In three years, he vowed to defeat her with his own strength.

In the hall, as everyone watched Li Yi's calm figure, they felt an odd sense of amazement at the day's events. Mo Yi, looking slightly disturbed, exchanged a resigned smile with Li Han, acknowledging the young people's arrangement as the best solution. "Young people love their games," Li Han laughed, "Let them be. It's just a contest, but perhaps Mo Yi could encourage his daughter to train harder. It wouldn't look good for the Mo family if she truly became a servant in the Li household!"

With a bitter taste in his mouth, Mo Yi didn't know what to say. Could he step in and defeat Li Yi? He couldn't afford such a loss of face. "Well then," Li Han stood up, "It seems everything that needed to be resolved at the Mo household has been. This three-year bet seems like the best resolution. Mo Yi, if you're ever free, feel free to visit the Li household. You'll be warmly welcomed."

Mo Yi composed himself, conceding the day's events. "Then I won't keep you," he sighed.

Li Yi shared a knowing look with Mo Yi, leaving a faint smile as he departed. "You were really amazing tonight, Li Yi brother!" Li Nannan approached him with admiration. Li Yi, finding her gaze strange, coughed lightly and said, "I'm a bit tired. Let's talk another day." Without waiting for a response, he swiftly left, almost as if fleeing the scene.
