Absolute Death Game-Chapter 320 - 89 chapters Opening a room

```

"It’s nothing, I just didn’t want you to be hungry," Xiao Buli said indifferently. He actually wanted to see just how strong the power of the Soul Contract was, and to what extent it could control one’s will—of course, there was also a hint of mischief in his actions.

Helpless, Qin Shimoon broke off a small piece of the pancake and ate it. "Satisfied?" she glared at Xiao Buli as she spoke.

Xiao Buli shook his head. Such a small amount was hardly enough. He glanced over the food on the table and noticed a plate of pork intestines. Earlier, when it was served, Qin Shimoon had clearly shown a disgusted expression, so he pointed at the plate of intestines.

"Have some of this, it’s really delicious."

"I don’t want to eat that," Qin Shimoon shook her head.

"Have some," Xiao Buli persisted.

"No!" Qin Shimoon turned her head away in aversion.

It seemed the power of the contract was not absolute. If the commands weren’t clear and firm enough, the other person could resist. So what if he issued a clear command?

"Eat it, this is an order," Xiao Buli said sternly. This time, Qin Shimoon could no longer control herself. Struggling, she turned her head back. Before, when a blade threatened her neck, Qin Shimoon had not shown a trace of concern, but now fear flickered in her eyes. Her hand, holding the chopsticks, trembled as it reached for the pork intestines while her other hand grabbed her wrist, clearly struggling intensely against some unseen, unperceivable force. But the power of the Soul Contract was irresistible. Finally, her chopsticks picked up a piece of intestine, shaking as she did so.

"Seems like it really works," thought Xiao Buli. But then Qin Shimoon suddenly gave a wretched smile. "I should have known it would come to this."

She sharply slapped her right hand down, and the chopsticks instantly dropped onto the table. Her left hand shook, and from her sleeve leaped a tiny handgun the size of a lighter, which appeared in her hand and was pointed at her temple, her finger on the trigger ready to pull.

Xiao Buli startled, "Don’t!"

Qin Shimoon held the gun against her temple for a long time without being able to pull the trigger. She gave Xiao Buli a fierce look and then suddenly aimed the gun at him.

"Put the gun down!" Xiao Buli shouted again, and Qin Shimoon lowered the handgun but then abruptly pulled the trigger.

With a bang, the bullet shot towards Xiao Buli’s abdomen but was blocked by the Spiritual Energy Shield, and Wu Min’er sprung into action, kicking the handgun out of Qin Shimoon’s hand and pinning her to the ground with a swift move.

Xiao Buli was still somewhat shaken. Although the bullet hadn’t hit him, the terror of being threatened by a bullet at such close range was indeed frightening. He hadn’t expected such a violent reaction, but on reflection, perhaps he had indeed gone a bit too far—some people are certainly more sensitive about their food.

The experience hadn’t been entirely without its lessons, however; it showed that even though the Soul Contract was effective, it was not entirely unresistable. Commands had to be detailed and explicit, or else scenarios like the one before could happen.

As he contemplated, he gestured for Wu Min’er to release Qin Shimoon.

Wu Min’er nodded. Since she owed Xiao Buli a favor, she wasn’t in a position to argue, and upon releasing Qin Shimoon, the latter immediately sprung up, retreated to the corner of the room, and watched Xiao warily, quickly scanning her surroundings with a look of despair in her eyes. "What have I ever done to you to make you torture me like this? Is death not even an option for me?"

"Fine, if you don’t want to eat, then don’t eat. Why get so worked up?"

Seeing that Qin Shimoon still wore a frosty expression, Xiao Buli knew this wasn’t over, "I was just joking, don’t take it to heart. I won’t do it again."

Qin Shimoon snorted coldly. Although she was still huffy, there was nothing she could do. After all, her vulnerability was in his hands. She sat down with a thump and stopped talking. Enjoy exclusive content from novelbuddy

After such an incident, Xiao Buli didn’t dare to tease Qin Shimoon anymore. He still planned to get some intelligence out of her. If Qin Shimoon got desperate and sought to end her life when no one was around, that would be really bad. He couldn’t watch over her for the rest of her life. Continuing like this wasn’t a solution, so Xiao Buli thought for a moment and then said, "How about this, you just follow my orders and provide plenty of information. When I feel you are no longer useful, I will naturally let you go. How does that sound?"

Hope suddenly sparked in Qin Shimoon’s previously despairing eyes. The greatest weakness of humans isn’t actually despair, but hope. As long as there’s a sliver of hope, they will persist. Seeing Qin Shimoon’s reaction, Xiao Buli knew his strategy had worked.

"Let’s set the time for one year. During this year, you’ll serve me with all your heart and effort. As long as I’m satisfied, I’ll grant you your freedom after a year."

In Xiao Buli’s view, one year was more than enough time to dig out all the secrets in Qin Shimoon’s heart. After that, where she went was of no consequence to him.

Qin Shimoon finally nodded reluctantly, "Alright, I agree to your terms."

Actually, Xiao Buli’s promises weren’t reliable. If he chose to go back on his word later, Qin Shimoon couldn’t do anything about it. But having a promise was better than none, and at this point, she could only place her hopes on him keeping his word.

Having settled things with Qin Shimoon, Xiao Buli then asked Wu Min’er, "What are your plans next?"

Wu Min’er said, "I plan to leave for a while and contact you later. The Ancestral Dragon will definitely try to hunt us down. If we split up, we’ll be less conspicuous targets."

Xiao Buli nodded, "Then let’s part ways here. We’ll get in touch in the game. I have a camp in the Black Mountain range. You can find me there," he finished, then suddenly remembered that she was still in Nine Dragons City, likely to be hunted in the game if she logged on, and asked, "Can you still go online?"

Wu Min’er nodded, "No problem. I have a very good relationship with the lord of Nine Dragons City. With his protection, leaving the city shouldn’t be an issue. I’ll come find you then."

After saying that, she called out to Lu Xinying, and they both headed for the door.

Lu Xinying clasped his fists in gratitude towards Xiao Buli, "Xiao, I cannot thank you enough. You’ve done me a favor this time. Whatever you need in the future, just give me the word," he said, before hurriedly following Wu Min’er out.

Wu Min’er left cleanly and swiftly, without any lingering. Now it was just Xiao Buli and Qin Shimoon left in the hotel’s private room. Xiao Buli said, "If you’ve eaten your fill, let’s go book a room to rest."

Qin Shimoon nodded, and Xiao Buli, linking arms with Qin Shimoon, walked in.

At this hour, the two resembled a couple who had snuck out for a late-night hotel rendezvous. After settling the dinner bill,

"How many rooms would you like, sir?" Xiao Buli said, "Just one." (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please cast your recommendation votes and monthly votes at Qidian [qidian.com]. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
