Chapter 204: The Elves Appear, the Contract is Coming

"Hello..." Lei Yi opened his mouth tentatively, wanting to say something. He could feel the pure energy emanating from the blue elf, a non-aggressive, even gentle power.

The Blue Moon Elf slowly flapped its wings, looking at him with clear eyes. Then, it slowly extended its slender fingers and pointed at Lei Yi's chest. Its soft voice flowed like a clear spring, "You are very special."

Lei Yi was stunned, not understanding what she meant. "Special?" Was she referring to his soul power? "You mean... my soul?"

The Blue Moon Elf nodded, then shook her head, as if trying to organize her words. "I sense that your soul is very powerful, but also very... painful."

Lei Yi's heart skipped a beat; this Blue Moon Elf could actually sense the fluctuations deep within his soul. Indeed, ever since crossing into this world, through betrayal and persecution, his soul had long been scarred.

"I've been searching for a suitable partner," the Blue Moon Elf continued, "a soul that can understand me and be understood by me. Perhaps you are the one I'm looking for."

A glimmer of hope ignited within Lei Yi, but he also understood that a soul contract was no joke; once signed, it was a lifelong bond. "You want to sign a soul contract with me?"

The Blue Moon Elf didn't answer directly. Instead, it circled around Lei Yi slowly for a few times, as if observing, yet also as if hesitating. "Your soul is full of power, but also full of scars. I can feel your sadness, your anger, and your...longing."

She paused, a complex emotion flashing in her crystal blue eyes. "I'm not sure if you're the one I'm looking for. But I'm willing to give you a chance, and give myself a chance as well."

Lei Yi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He felt the Blue Moon Fairy's sincerity and the hidden meaning in her words. He took a deep breath, suppressing his inner excitement. "What do you want me to do?"

The Blue Moon Elf quietly floated in front of him, a strange light flickering in its eyes. "Tell me your story..." Lei Yi was about to speak when he was interrupted by Dongfang Liuli's voice beside him, "Wait."

He turned to look at Dongfang Liuli, only to see that her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, her gaze fixed on the Blue Moon Elf in front of her, with a barely perceptible hint of vigilance in her eyes.

"Liuli, what's wrong?" Lei Yi noticed that something was wrong with her and asked softly.

Dongfang Liuli took a step forward and stood beside Lei Yi, her eyes still fixed on the Blue Moon Elf. "Are you sure you want to sign a soul contract with her? A soul contract is a serious matter; once signed, it cannot be changed. Are you sure you want to entrust your soul to an elf of unknown origin?"

Dongfang Liuli's words, though sharp, spoke volumes about Lei Yi's concerns. He truly longed for power, for a partner who could understand and help him, but he also understood that the soul contract was a matter of great importance and should not be decided lightly.

The Blue Moon Elf seemed to sense Dongfang Liuli's hostility. She gently flapped her wings and took a few steps back. A trace of loneliness flashed in her clear blue eyes. "I have no ill intentions. I just... want to help him."

"Help him?" Dongfang Liuli snorted coldly, "How can you help him? Do you understand him? Do you know what he's been through? You know nothing, yet you dare to talk about signing a soul contract with him? That's ridiculous!"

Facing Dongfang Liuli's questioning, the Blue Moon Fairy fell silent. She simply hovered quietly in mid-air, a blue light flickering faintly, as if expressing her helplessness.

Upon seeing this, Lei Yi quickly held Dongfang Liuli's hand, signaling her to calm down. He then turned to look at the Blue Moon Elf and said gently, "I don't doubt your intentions, but the soul contract is too important to me. I need some time to consider it and get to know you better."

The Blue Moon Elf raised her head and looked at him quietly. She seemed to understand what he meant and nodded slightly.

"To be on the safe side, I plan to visit someone first," Lei Yi looked at Dongfang Liuli with a firm gaze, "Spiritual Eye Saint, she is quite knowledgeable about the soul realm and may be able to give us some advice."

Dongfang Liuli was slightly startled, then nodded without saying anything else. She understood Lei Yi's concerns and knew that the Holy Maiden of the Spiritual Eyes might be the key to solving their doubts.

"The Holy Maiden of the Spiritual Eyes..." The Blue Moon Elf repeated the name softly, as if lost in some kind of contemplation.

Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli exchanged a glance, a hint of doubt rising in their hearts, but they didn't ask any further questions. They simply turned around silently and walked towards the direction of the Spirit Eye Saint, leaving the Blue Moon Elf alone, quietly floating in the air...

"Let's go." Lei Yi took Dongfang Liuli's hand and took firm steps towards an unknown direction.

The name of the Holy Lady of the Spiritual Eyes was more like a legend to everyone. Some said she lived in seclusion in the mountains, others said she lived in the heart of the city. Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli inquired about her, but could not find any definitive information.

"It seems we can only try our luck." Lei Yi sighed, looking at the complicated fork in the road in front of him, feeling a little powerless.

Dongfang Liuli patted his shoulder gently and comforted him, "Don't be discouraged. I believe that as long as we persist in searching, we will definitely find the Holy Lady of the Spiritual Eyes."

They chose one of the roads and continued on their journey. Along the way, they encountered warm-hearted villagers and cunning merchants, but the news about the Holy Lady of the Spirit Eyes was always shrouded in mystery, making it difficult to see clearly.

Until one day, they came to an ancient town. This town looked no different from other towns, but it was filled with a strange atmosphere that made people feel mysterious and oppressive.

"Something seems a little different here." Dongfang Liuli said in a low voice, looking around vigilantly.

Lei Yi also noticed something unusual. He tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword and signaled Dongfang Liuli to be careful.

They walked into a teahouse, hoping to get some information. The owner was an old man, hunched over, with cloudy eyes that seemed to see through everything in the world.

"Gentlemen, what do you want to know?" the old man asked slowly, his voice hoarse and low.

"Old man, we would like to ask, do you know the Holy Lady of Lingtong?" Lei Yi asked.

When the old man heard the words "Spiritual Eye Saintess," a gleam of light suddenly flashed in his cloudy eyes. He looked Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli up and down and said slowly, "What are you looking for her for?"

"We have something important to ask her." Lei Yi replied.

The old man was silent for a moment, and finally said, "It's not easy to find the Holy Lady of the Spiritual Eyes. However, I can tell you a place where you may find some clues."

Under the guidance of the old man, Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli came to a remote courtyard. The gate of the courtyard was closed and covered with dust, as if no one had been there for a long time.

"This is it." The old man pointed to the courtyard gate and said, "Go in. Remember, after you go in, no matter what you see, don't be surprised or afraid."

Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli looked at each other. Although they were confused, they still pushed open the gate of the courtyard.

Inside the courtyard, a hidden world unfolds. A woman in a white robe sits cross-legged in the center, her eyes closed, as if cut off from the world.

"Are you the Holy Maiden of Spiritual Eyes?" Lei Yi asked tentatively.

The woman slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were clear and bright, as if they could see through people's hearts.

"What are you doing here?" The voice of the Holy Maiden Lingtong was ethereal and vague, as if it came from the sky.

"We would like to ask you about the soul contract." Lei Yi explained his purpose.

After hearing this, the Holy Maiden of the Spiritual Eyes said calmly, "The soul contract ceremony is very demanding. It requires the souls of both parties to be completely compatible, and they must pass some special trials. If you are not careful, your soul will be shattered."

Lei Yi couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this. He looked at Dongfang Liuli, but found that her eyes were also full of worry.

"I..." Lei Yi was about to speak, but was interrupted by the Holy Lady Lingtong.

"Have you really decided?" The Holy Lady of Spiritual Eyes cast her gaze on Lei Yi, her tone carrying a hint of warning, "Once you start, there's no turning back."

Lei Yi took a deep breath, knowing there was no turning back. He looked at Dongfang Liuli, his eyes determined as he spoke, "I've decided..." "I've decided. I want to attempt a soul bond test with the Blue Moon Spirit." Lei Yi's tone was firm, his gaze piercing with determination. He knew the risks of a soul contract and the potential consequences of failure, but he also understood that if he couldn't gain greater power, both he and Dongfang Liuli would be plunged into endless danger.

Dongfang Liuli looked at him worriedly, and gently stroked his face with her slender fingers, "Lei Yi, have you really thought it through? We still have time, we can wait a little longer and find other ways..."

"Liuli, I know you're worried about me, but I don't have time." Lei Yi held her hand, his eyes revealing deep attachment and determination. "I must become stronger as soon as possible to protect you and complete my mission."

Dongfang Liuli fell silent. She understood Lei Yi's determination and the responsibility he shouldered. She took a deep breath, suppressed her worries, and replaced them with a resolute expression. "Okay, I support you. No matter what happens, I will be by your side."

Lei Yi felt warm in his heart and held her in his arms. Feeling her warmth, his heart became more determined.

The Holy Maiden of Spiritual Eyes observed all of this, a subtle hint of admiration flickering across her cold face. She slowly stood up, walked over to the two men, and said, "Since you've made your decision, let's begin."

She took out a crystal ball from her wide sleeves. The crystal ball emitted a soft light, illuminating the entire courtyard.

"This is the 'Heart Reflection Sphere,' which can test the compatibility of your souls." The Holy Maiden of the Spiritual Eyes pointed at the crystal ball and explained, "Place your hands on either side of the crystal ball, concentrate, relax your body and mind, and allow your soul to resonate with the crystal ball."

Lei Yi and the Blue Moon Elf exchanged a glance, then simultaneously placed their hands on either side of the crystal ball. Instantly, the crystal ball shone brightly, and a strange energy enveloped them.

Lei Yi felt as if his consciousness was being pulled into a strange space. All around him was chaos, with only his and the Blue Moon Elf's figures clearly visible. He tried to approach the Blue Moon Elf, but found that there seemed to be an invisible barrier between them, making it impossible to touch.

"Don't be anxious. Feel the other person's soul fluctuations with your heart and find the point of resonance between each other." The voice of the Holy Lady of Spirit Eyes sounded in his ears, guiding him in the direction of progress.

Lei Yi closed his eyes, cleared his mind, and tried to sense the Blue Moon Spirit's presence. Gradually, he felt a clear, pure energy wave, as gentle as moonlight and refreshing as a spring. He tentatively brought his own soul wave closer to it. The two different energies tested each other, blending together. Finally, like two drops of water falling into water, they merged, becoming indistinguishable from each other.

The crystal ball's light grew brighter and brighter, eventually transforming into a pillar of light that shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire sky. The Holy Maiden, observing this scene, smiled faintly and muttered to herself, "It seems their fate was already predestined..."

The light faded, the crystal ball returned to calm, and Lei Yi and the Blue Moon Elf returned from the strange space. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise and joy.

"It seems that you two are very compatible." The voice of the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Eyes brought them back to reality. "Next, we will conduct the soul contract ceremony. However, this ceremony is very dangerous. If you are not careful, your soul will be torn apart. You must think carefully before continuing."

Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli looked at each other with a firm gaze and said in unison: "We are willing!"

The Holy Maiden nodded, turned and walked towards the depths of the courtyard, saying as she walked, "Follow me..."

Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli followed closely behind, while the Blue Moon Elf turned into a stream of light and drilled into the center of Lei Yi's eyebrows.

Deep within the courtyard stood an ancient altar, engraved with mysterious runes, emitting an ancient and powerful aura. The Spirit Eye Saint walked to the center of the altar, turned to Lei Yi, and said, "Stand on the altar..."
