Contracts of Cultivation: Rise of the Exiled Playboy

In a short time, Fan Sheng became the leader of the village Kitsuru which is quite rich in grains and shares an important border with Miyara.

Kitsuru needs protection from border thieves who stole their grains repeatedly and that's the reason they arrange for this tournament so that they could have a strong warrior to protect them.

In return they will give him everything he needs for free and pay a salary of 100 tales of silver.

This time Fan Sheng won big but his eyes are still determined on the Target. He is still far behind Level 100 and only 5 days are left.

Just then the woman shows herself in front of him and both of them are covered in masks.

Fan Sheng wants to prevent the charm spell and the woman is also hiding something.

"You are back," he says.

"Yes, you have proved your worth and i have to keep my bargain" she is followed by another woman in disguise as well.

"That's great"

Her gaze is fixed on him and she signals something with her hand and 5 men approach them.

"I think these 3 will do, right?" She questioned him and wanted to see his expression.

The three men were on their knees waiting for some response.

[System Scanning…]

[Aura Detected.]

He could see everyone's Aura and all the 3 men had an Aura between 100 to 120.

Fan Sheng smiles "Yes, They will do"

"Will they accept me as their new master and sign a contract with me?"

"Yes, they will but you won't have any right to sell them to anyone."

" You can only return them to me almost. Is that clear?" She makes herself clear.

"Yes, I won't sell them to anyone" He agrees and lets them sign a contract with him.

Instantly his Cultivation splurges from 55 to 71.

"System, detect my Cultivation."

[Current Host Cultivation, Level-71]

"What shouldn't it grow to 87?"

[No Host, In a contract the cultivation growth also depends on loyalty.]

"So are they not loyal to me?"

"System check their loyalty"

[System detection Complete]

Their stats show up on their head and he could see that their loyalty towards him is only 50% due to bond.

"So, that means they are still loyal towards her. That means she is surely someone special"

They all return to their own places.

"Master, why did you give him your loyal guards? He can't afford them" 

The woman's maid asks her.

"I just wanted to repay his favour and I think he is surely worthy of them"

She soaks herself in the bath tub and relaxes herself.

"System tell my stats"

[Abilities:

Healer Level-25

Defender Level-20

Sword Master Level-14

Archer Level-8

Spell Master-4

]

"System, what about Spell Master-4, we haven't used any spells till now"

[Host can awaken his Spell Master Ability once it reaches Level 10, until then it can' be used]

"Hmm…"

"Okk"

The night passes and one more day is reduced in the task completion time and only 4 days left.

But now he is followed by the woman who is noticing his every step.

He wanders in the streets alone while people greet him with respect as he is the new leader of their village.

But suddenly some border soldiers identify the woman, they try to sneak attack her.

Fan sheng is swift enough to save her by pulling her away.

Both of them run along as they are now after both of them.

He immediately takes her into the woods to escape from them.

They had to spend the night in the woods.

She lights a fire and brings back a rabbit as soon as they decide to stay.

He is shocked on how a woman can be this strong.

"No wonder her Aura is so strong Naturally"

Both of them remove their masks and he looks at her as she is removing her veil.

Her skin is so dazzling and her features are sharp.

She might be the most beautiful woman he ever saw in his 2 lives.

He admires her beauty "You are so beautiful"

"Nobody who saw my face is alive except for my own kin" Her words pierced the spokes in his throat and he choked immediately.

As she says that, she glances at his face and is shocked to see such a handsome face underneath that mask.

"Why are you covering your face if you have such a handsome face?"

"I don't want people to be attracted to my charm" 

He laughs at his own words unknowing that the woman in front of him is attracted to him.

She couldn't move her gaze from him as they ate.

"What is your name?" She asks him.

"Fan Sheng, and what about you?" He responds.

"Mira" she responds.

The night is filled with their silence and gaze.

They both take peeks on each other admiring them in their hearts.

Mira could feel a spark in her heart, she never had this feeling before.

The night has finally come to an end with soldiers looking for them with the sunrise.

They can't hide anymore as they are surrounded by soldiers from all sides.

As they are woken up by the sounds of footsteps approaching them, they both climb up the tree which they took shelter in last night.

They both were in coordination, their eyes communicated with each other as they saw each other.

The Soldiers surrounded them and now both of them jumped over them unleashing their swords.

The Duo fought against the 12 soldiers with their full strength and the soldiers were no match in front of Fan Sheng and Mira.

It's just numbers that outnumbered them and they are fighting against it with their wits and strengths.

Their coordination defeated all of them and they both escaped the forest and killed all of them.

The bodies soon attracted vultures which caught the eye of the commander of that Battalion.

He soon reached the place and understood that someone had breached the border.

The entire Kitsuru is put under strict supervision, no one could leave or enter the village without his permission.

He started to search every house and every hut in the village.

Mira is hurt in the fight and Fan Sheng takes her back to his mansion.

He started to treat her wounds using his healing skills.

She is mesmerized by his high healing skills as seeing a level 25 Healer is quite rare and very few have achieved it till now.

The commander soon heard that the new village leader had brought someone into his house and decided to search his house.

He barged into his house and searched everywhere.

Jin Dong and His new Guards were about to fight him but were stopped by Fan Sheng.

"Stop"

"Lord Commander, what is the reason for your surprise visit?"

"Village Leader, can I know who is inside your House?"

"Aaaah.., about that. She is a patient of mine"

"Do you care if I check on that?"

A hesitant pause attracted the commander's attention "Aaah.."

He barged into the room and found a woman behind the curtain.

Mira held her knife behind her as if she was ready to kill him.

The commander opened the curtain only to feel disgusted.

"Ohh.. Crap" he turned his head away from her.

"Commander, I said she is my patient. I am treating her illness."

"You should have said that before"

"You seemed suspicious of me and I don't want to reject you, so.."

The commander immediately left the room and Mira felt surprised as to why they didn't recognize her.

She turned around to see herself in the mirror.

She is shocked to see her face, she became ugly and an ill person with puss all over her face.

Her scream echoed in the entire mansion.

She immediately held her knife to his throat "What did you do to me?"

I just made you irrecognizable with my medical skills" he explained under the knife on his throat with a gulp to save his life.

"Aren't you a Healer?"

"Yes I am"

"Then why did i became so ugly after you cured me"

"Its because Healers also specialize in poisons and i made you ugly to conceal your real face"

She is surprised that she never knew that before.

"Does that mean I can get my face back?"

"Yes, if you.." he signals over the knife.

She removed her sword and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He then wraps her face with a wet cloth and uses his Healing powers to give her back her original appearance.

As she unwrapped herself she couldn't believe he could actually do something like that.

She admired her beauty in the mirror and started to look him in the eyes through the mirror.

Both shared a few glances before Mira's subordinate interrupted them.

"Master, are you all right?"

It became awkward and Fan sheng left immediately.

"Master, I think we should return. It is not safe here anymore"

"I didn't come here because it is safe. I came here to get kitsuru and I think i will get that now"

She smiles as she looks in the direction Fan Sheng went.

Only 3 more days remain to complete the Task and Fan Sheng sleeps in his room not knowing what is about to happen.
