"A King's Clansman contract?!"
Tohru was a little surprised to hear that.
"Yes, a King's Clansman contract."
Lin nodded with a smile and continued, "The price is a contract that, from now on, you will be with me forever."
"We will become a true family."
"Relying on each other, never leaving each other's side."
"Tohru, are you willing?"
"Family..."
After hearing Lin's explanation, Tohru stared blankly at him, her beautiful golden-red eyes seemingly sparkling.
This was the first time anyone had said such words to her.
Wanting to become family with her.
Never leaving, relying on each other.
Her eyes met Lin's.
She could feel his sincerity, that it came from the heart.
Tohru's gaze flickered slightly.
Clearly, she was hesitating internally.
Lin watched Tohru without speaking, waiting for her reply.
"Alright, I accept!"
After about half a minute, Tohru's face once again broke into a cute smile. "Two-six-seven"
She nodded, agreeing to Lin.
She didn't dislike Lin, and he had saved her before.
Moreover, upon their first meeting, Lin had shown no fear or aversion towards her, a dragon.
Instead, he was very friendly and fond of her.
Her heart subtly told her that Lin was trustworthy.
Seeing Tohru agree, Lin also breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, without the stage of feelings developing over time, he couldn't be certain Tohru would agree.
Although there was some hesitation.
Tohru still agreed.
Looking at it this way, Tohru's current affection for him must be quite a bit higher than he had predicted.
It seems sometimes being direct can yield surprising results.
Of course, being direct is premised on both parties having a certain level of goodwill; one cannot just do it carelessly.
"How do we do it?"
Tohru looked at Lin with some curiosity.
In her world, contracts were usually signed using contract scrolls imbued with contract magic.
She wasn't sure about this world.
"Watch me."
Lin said with a smile, shifted his position, almost pressing against Tohru, and lifted her chin.
"??!"
Seeing this, Tohru blinked her large eyes.
Is this...
Lin captured her red lips.
Tohru's eyes widened slightly.
Lin activated the Supreme Kingship's King's Clansman ability, selecting the Gold Kingship power and injecting it into Tohru's body.
The additional abilities of other Kingships were largely irrelevant to Tohru.
Only the Gold Power had an effect.
It could develop her physical body and magic power to their current maximum.
Enabling her to exert 100% of her strength.
And providing a certain amplification effect.
The King's Clansman contract possesses multiple ability effects.
It binds with the other party's soul, unable to be erased even through reincarnation.
Even if the soul splits, each fragment will possess the contract.
The contract allows the clansmen to gain a portion of Lin, the King's, power, and share his lifespan.
It protects the soul, granting immunity to all mental and spiritual ability effects.
As the Supreme King, Lin possesses the final right of interpretation and can freely reclaim the power granted to his clansmen.
The King's Clansman Mark on the clansman's lower abdomen is not merely an identification.
It is a subordinate mark of the Supreme Kingship.
It allows the clansmen to possess a portion of Lin's power, and when needed, he can attach his consciousness to a clansman's body.
Enabling him to forcibly control the clansman's body.
And at that time, it allows the clansman to receive the full blessing of Lin's power.
It is also a trump card for survival.
If a clansman encounters a life-threatening danger, the King's Clansman Mark will activate the Kingship Sanctuary at full power and notify Lin.
The Gold Power flowed within her body.
Gathering at Tohru's lower abdomen.
A strand of power made contact with her soul.
Tohru felt it originated from Lin, so she didn't resist.
Moreover, Tohru wasn't in the mood to care about that at the moment.
Because she had closed her eyes, immersed in her contact with Lin, even actively responding, initiating a French kiss.
More than ten minutes later.
Lin and Tohru separated.
Tohru's cheeks were flushed, seemingly a little shy, but mostly happy, with a hint of sweetness in her heart.
This feeling was appearing for the first time.
The look in her eyes changed as she gazed at Lin, her emotions subtle.
Lin's gaze towards Tohru also softened, and he said with a smile:
"The contract is complete."
"From today, Tohru, you belong to me forever."
"Mhm."
Tohru nodded happily with a smile, giving Lin an energetic and cute grin.
Only then did she begin to feel the new power within her body and her own changes.
That power was somewhat peculiar.
Different from Mana (magic power).
It seemed it could merge with magic power.
Noticing this, Tohru attempted to control the two powers to merge.
It was fine if she didn't try.
But as soon as she did, she was startled.
After the two powers merged, although only magic power remained, its intensity had roughly doubled.
After circulating that power.
She felt her physical body also strengthen, becoming one and a half times stronger than before.
Lin, vaguely seeing what Tohru was doing, couldn't help but say with a smile:
"The contract I signed with you, Tohru, allows you to possess a portion of my power, which can amplify your own strength..."
"And it also allows you, Tohru, to share my eternal lifespan."
"Eternal lifespan?!"
Tohru's eyes widened slightly upon hearing this.
Although she was a dragon, a long-lived species, seemingly with infinite lifespan.
In reality, it was finite.
It was just incredibly long, at least tens of millions of years, so to short-lived species, it was no different from immortality.
But it still had an end.
Lin, however, possessed an eternal lifespan, just like a god.
What was even more astonishing was that he could allow others to share his endless lifespan.
This was simply astounding for a dragon!
Not even gods possessed such an ability, right?!
"Who exactly are you?"
Tohru looked at Lin in astonishment, with intense curiosity in her eyes.
"Who am I..."
Lin blinked at her words, then curled his lips slightly and said:
"My name is Lin, male, currently sixteen years old, living near Shakujii Park in Nerima Ward, Tokyo."
"I am a high school student, and you can also think of me as a psychic."
"I dislike chaos, enjoy a peaceful life, and my hobbies include all sorts of beautiful things, like you, Tohru."
"And now, I am your partner, destined to be with you forever, Tohru."
"Oh..."
Hearing Lin's self-introduction, especially the last sentence, Tohru was stunned, her cheeks suddenly flushing.
Her happiness was mixed with a hint of shyness.
Seeing this, the curve of Lin's lips became a little more pronounced.
At this moment, Tohru blinked her large eyes and asked with some anticipation:
"Lin, can I fight you?"
Lin paused slightly at her words.
He didn't ask why, just nodded with a smile and said, "Alright, I also wanted to see how strong you are, Tohru."
"Come with me."
Saying this, he summoned a Gate of Mist.
Fighting certainly couldn't be done on Earth; they could go inside the Exclusive Dust Realm.
As long as the power wasn't enough to shatter the entire Exclusive Dust Realm, the damage caused by the battle could later be restored by expending energy.
Tohru blinked as she looked at the Gate of Mist appearing out of thin air; she vaguely sensed the spatial channel's fluctuations.
One person and one dragon arrived in the Exclusive Dust Realm.
Surrounding them was a boundless desert.
"Come on, let's fight."
Lin challenged Tohru to a fight.
The person and the dragon vanished from their spots.
The next moment, a golden light and a red light collided.
BOOM!!
The explosive roar was deafening.
Rings of airwaves surged like ocean waves.
A massive crater appeared in the earth.
One hundred meters deep, a thousand meters in diameter, the mud, sand, and rocks were instantly pulverized.
