That same night, Hannya's figure appeared in one of the Xiao Clan's courtyard. When he suddenly felt something, an extremely familiar feeling..

He reflexively raise his guard up and looked at the corner covered in darkness, his eyes narrowed, heart beating at a faster right, his currently feeling an immense danger coming from the prescence hidden under the cloak of the night.

Every part of his being is telling him to run away.. the tension in the atmosphere slowly increased, Hannya felt that if that being wanted him dead, his life would forfeit right away.. : "Who are you?" Hannya asked preparing to defend if he felt any signs of malicious intent.

"Child no need to be so wary." An incredibly ancient voice sounded. It would give anyone who he hears it a feeling that this voice came from the depths of hell.

Hannya who heard the voice was completely apalled, this voice... it's extremely familiar. It was the same mysterious figure who transported him to this world.

"How come you are here? Didn't you say that..."

"Child, relax. It's the first time we met for a long while. No need to feel tense, this clone won't dissappear that fast..How are you?"

'Illusion? A dangerous being in front me is only a clone' Hannya was dumbfounded. He felt like he was just an ant even at the face of this clone.'

"So what did you come here for? Don't tell me you came here just to know my well-being?" Hannya felt like this sudden appearance would be anything normal.

"You've become a bit sharp child, hehe." A moment later the entire place suddenly lost if's color, everything is still the same except the only color left is gray and white.

"Now we can talk without anyone interfering."

Hannya didn't know why this guy would go through such lengths just to keep their conversation from slipping out but he knew it must be important..

If looked at from afar, Hannya can reaction changed multiple times; frowning, nodding, sometimes it would turn into shock while listening to the mysterious man.

It took almost an hour before their discussion end, before he left the mysterious man glanced at Hannya: "Oh by the way, let me give you some information about the spirit that was linked to your system. This information will definitely be useful for you." A blue hexagonal symbol filled with ancient characters flew out from his hand towards Hannya's forehead. "That would be a great help in your current situation."

Hannya didn't even have enough time to reply, he kneeled to the ground with his hands on clutching his head, unbearable pain surged out like a tidal wave the moment the hexagonal integrated in his forehead..

....

An hour later the pain subsided but Hannya still felt lightheaded, after an hour passed, his expression was filled with enlightenment, he muttered: "So that's how it is."

Based on the imprint that he received, Greed came from a different world and was known as one of the seven deadly sins, and the best way to deal with greedy people is to make a contract which would restrain them.

A contract that can't be violated, and there's only one such contract, that is to let the heaven witness an oath from both sides.

His eyes surveyed his surroundings, the earlier black and white atmosphere has now turned back to normal. Under the cover of darkness, his figure dissappeared.

In Xiao Che's room, a figure laid in bed while his entire body was covered in white blanket, dark smoke slowly conjure beside the bed and eventually revealed Hannya's figure. He glanced at Xiao Che's dead body, he spoke: "I know you are already awake for a long time now. You heard what he said right?

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

'Hmmp, I know."

"Then Greed of the 7 deadly sins, will you sign a contract with me?" Hannya asked with a smile.

Greed turned silent for awhile and with great difficulty accepted for the sake of bigger picture. He's well aware that if he doesn't accept the contract, he will just remain as a prisoner, and being one already guarantees that he will not be able to regain his strength.

Without further delay they started the ritual. In his mind Hannya made the oath: "I Nurarihyon the Lord of the Night vow on this very day that I shall become your master and treat you fairly in the ranks of my Night Parade of Hundred Demons."

"I Greed, One of the Seven Deadly Sins, the devourer of fate vow that from now on I shall accept the Lord of the Night as my master."

"Let the Heavens witness our oath!"

Dark Ghastly Soul slowly appeared at Hannya's back, he took his sword handle and summoned Senbonzakura who was currently restraining the Elder Soul Yun Che. He commanded: "Greed, Devour."

The Ghastly black smoke slowly formed into a huge wolf head, with it's jaw open it devoured the Elder Soul Yun Che..

Countless memories started to generate inside Greed's spiritual mind, The Elder Lich Soul may not be concious without body but it still resisted.. Slowly a minute passed..thirty minutes until the struggle stopped. Greed won the battle for control, Hannya observed with interest on the side.

With Yun Che and Greed combined they formed into one single entity. Greed is Yun Che and Yun Che is Greed, only thing is Greed has the dominance..

Greed then went inside the dead corpse laying on the bed.

'Awaken'

Xiao Che's heart who had already stopped beating shook..

Tug..Tug..Tug!Tug!

The powerless hand slowly moved while his heart started to pump blood, spreading around Xiao Che's body. His closed eyelid trembled..

Hannya looked at the Handsome man who was laid in the bed lifeless earlier now slowly sat on the bed. He looked like a living doll with soft and beautiful skin, even in his weakened state his body still gives an

indistinct noble aura. His dark eyes gives a feeling of bottomless abyss. "Nurarihyon-sama".

"Heh, I didn't expect that you would still gain control against an elder soul despite only having half of your soul"

"Nurarihyon-sama, can I request something?"

"What is it?"

"Can I keep the name Yun Che?"

"Am I talking to Greed or Yun Che?" Hannya's eyes narrowed.

"We are one entity now so you can say you're talking to both of us." Said Yun Che, his eyes shone with determination.

"Do you have any memories of Xiao Che?"

"Yeah, I have, also his feelings yet I don't have his soul"

"That makes sense. Anyways, you need to get going and leave this place, go help Karasu Tengu rescue Xiao Che's grandpa and little aunt on the way, you may not have any profound strength yet but with the help of Xiao Che's memory it will greatly help Karasu Tengu. They were currently locked in Reflection Gorge, you will meet Karasu Tengu on the way." Replied Hannya.

With that, In the future Hannya no longer needs to worry about how to make a connection with the The Yun Family, most powerful of the Twelve Guardian Families in the Illusory Demon Realm now the only thing left is to...make an impression

The two silhouttes into separated and dissappeared in two different destination. Yun Che went on his way towards Xiao Clan Mountain Area while Hannya seems to have dissappeared towards the Xia Clan.

------------------

Xia Clan Headquarters in one room two figures can be seen talking.

One is a woman with exceptional snow white complexion, vermilion lips and black hair. She has peerless elegance and a pure holiness like a fairy who had descended from the palace in the moon. It was hard for anyone to ascertain her true age. She seemed to be in her twenties, and then in her thirties, yet still appeared to be in her teens as well. She looked just like a fairy, dreamy and absolutely beautiful.

It was none other than Che Yueli, she is Xia Qingyue's master. She looked at the girl sitting across her.

She has a lovely face with two black thin and curvy eyebrows, similar to a pair of crescent moons. Her two tranquil pupils, clear like crystals, were like the radiance of a flowing dream. Her entire body was covered by a red dress, her faintly discernable curves slim and beautiful; a contrast to the creamy, white jade-like skin.

It was Xia Qingyue.

Che Yueli spoke: "Qingyue, I know that it's a sad thing that Xiao Che died but don't let it affect your mind."

"Yes, I understand." Qingyue replied without any change in expression.

"Rest well for now. Tomorrow afternoon we will be returning to Frozen Cloud Asgard." Chu Yueli left the room after.

Qingyue stood in near the window while looking at the Full moon.

She didn't expect that her soon to be husband would die just before they got married. She felt a bit guilty because she could also tell the reason of his death. She sighed and threw the thoughts at the back of her head.

"A lovely face." A voice was heard from behind.

"Who knew a tormented mournful face could be so attractive against the moon."

Xia Qingyue was startled by the sudden appearance of an unknown man in her room without her noticing.

"Who are you?"
