Dark Contractor

Step back into the bathroom.

Here at last to be liberated from the red flood that oppresses the spirit, with blue tiles.The iron bathtub has been filled with hot water, steaming.

"Wait and put this on."

"..."

What Alexis brought out was a very gorgeous Tang suit.Yue Sheng panicked and unconsciously kept staring at the clothes.Where on earth did he get this suit?

"You want me to wear this?"

"Your clothes are too rustic. If you wear them like that, your heart will grow old." Alexis said calmly, but Yue Sheng couldn't tell the truth, so she took the clothes.

"My age is not as young as it looks. I don't intend to be looked down upon by a young man like you."

"What, so you have already realized that you are a demon? Then you often talk about yourself as an ordinary human being." It seems that Alexis is planning to catch Yuesheng, he squinted his eyes slightly .

"Forget it, I asked Richard Deddez to help you find this dress. If you don't want to ruin his mind, just wear it." Said the cheerful elder

With the title of a violinist, Yuesheng is not easy to raise objections.

"I see, can you please leave me alone?"

"I would have liked to see it."

"I want to charge a tour fee."

"It sounds expensive. Then I'd better go first."

After Alexis smiled softly and left the bathroom, Yuesheng took off the silk nightgown that Alexis asked him to put on.Leaving his naked body with traces of abuse everywhere, Yue Sheng was furious about the facts, but he thought again, he had to calmly confront Alexis.

From yesterday's conversation, he knew that he could not unilaterally break the oath by himself.

Fortunately, during the bath, his mood gradually calmed down.He didn't know much about mansions, but a well-equipped house like this should be classified as wealthy in London.He had heard that exorcists were poorly paid, so the Dowdings must be a very wealthy family.

If that's the case, why does Alexis continue to work as an exorcist?He didn't need to risk his life at all, he should be able to spend the rest of his life in peace.

But Yue Sheng thought about it again, maybe it's just a matter of his hobby?Whether it's the bright red room or Alexis' sadistic personality, there's a 12-to-one possibility.

The job of an exorcist is to drive out demons that possess humans.If there is no need to hunt demons, there is naturally no reason to invade him and force him to sign a contract.If given the choice, he deserves a better life.If he was one of the Dowdings, he should have property that would allow him to live happily.For Yuesheng, who even has to work hard to live an ordinary life, Alexis's choice makes him feel incomprehensible.

For a person who has been doomed to such a fate from the moment he was born in this world, no matter what wish he has, it cannot be fulfilled.But he found that he had completely forgotten his origin and was accepted by the people around him.Although Yuesheng thinks that it is right to live such a stable life, she always feels that she is tired of such a life.

At this moment, Alexis broke into his life.Even though I cover my face and hands and try to hide my true nature, there are still things that cannot be hidden.Yuesheng originally planned to become a part of society and sneak into this world quietly, but in the end Yuesheng's existence was still not recognized.

——I am nothing but a heretic.

In addition, Alexis used coercion to draw out Yuesheng's true nature.Yuesheng probably can no longer live as a human being.At that time, what should I do?

Even though he was soaked in warm hot water, a chill ran up his spine.Yue Sheng was trembling all over, and finally decided to stop taking a bath.

For Yue Sheng who only wore dark-colored clothes, the bright and elegant Tang suit he saw just now gave him an uncomfortable feeling.But he couldn't appear in front of others in his nightgown, so he had to put it on as soon as possible and walk to the first floor.

The living room was already lit, and Alexis was waiting there.The family restaurant is quite small and has a warm atmosphere.Since the house itself is not too big, the ratio of the area of ​​the restaurant is similar.

There was a beautiful blonde girl with obvious freckles on her face, staying beside Alexis.

"You're slow."

"Because it takes time to cleanse an unclean body."

Alexis was putting his pre-dinner sherry to his lips when he heard the sarcasm in his voice and curled his lips.

"What do you want to drink?"

"I don't drink... don't I have to wait for others?"

"I'm the only one living in this house." Alexis said, calling "Lucius" and talking to the maid beside him.

"exist."

"Go get the food."

"Understood."

Lucius, was the name of the cat yesterday.

"Did you name the cat the same as the maid?"

"He's a demon. It could be a cat or a human."

"..." Yue Sheng never thought that a demon could turn into a human.

Alexis said he sent Lucius to Jerome, and if he looked like this, no one would have guessed that he was originally a cat.

"Because I can't buy Chinese ingredients, I will eat British food for dinner today." Alexis said nonchalantly, playing with the polished glass in his right hand.

"You mean, China?"

"I sent Lucius to the market, but I couldn't find spices. There are recipes though."

Even if he mentions China, Yuesheng doesn't remember anything at all.The knowledge about Chinese medicine and Chinese characters was learned by himself after he grew up.

"Even if you mention things about my hometown now, I don't remember it. I left China before I was sensible, so I don't need to bother with hospitality."

"Maybe you will remember something after eating it?"

Although Yue Sheng wanted to say that he was meddling in his own business, but thought that it would be troublesome for him to catch him, so he remained silent.

"Please use." Lucius put a sullen face, and put the soup plate in front of Yuesheng.

After the appetizer, a clear soup served in an elegant white porcelain vessel exudes a wonderful aroma that makes the index finger move.Yue Sheng picked up the polished silver tableware, took a sip, and whispered, "It's delicious." Surprisingly, this dish was exactly the sea turtle soup that the gourmets raved about.

"Huh? Really? Is it delicious?" Lucius looked at Yue Sheng's face with astonishing momentum, his eyes shining brightly.

"What, what's wrong?"

The girl's golden eyes were very beautiful, even knowing that he was originally a cat—no, a devil, Yue Sheng's heart still twitched violently.Because Yuesheng has never been stared at by the opposite sex at such a close distance.

"Did you say it's delicious? Hey, is what you said true?"

"Lucius." Despite Alexis' warning, Lucius still refused to let go and asked Yue Sheng how he felt.Overwhelmed by this enthusiasm, Yue Sheng nodded sincerely unlike before.

"Yes. I think this soup has a delicate taste. It has been boiled for a long time, and it has been carefully filtered."

Sea turtles, brought in from the West Indies in barrels of fresh water, are an expensive and rare ingredient, making them coveted by gourmets.The meat on the stomach is boiled, and the meat on the back is roasted. It is the most common way to eat it with fins and offal topped with thick sauce.

Although you can find "fake turtle soup" on the market, this bowl of soup definitely uses real turtles.Marquis Anderson once sent someone to deliver hot sea turtle soup to Yue Sheng.This is because Yuesheng has to take down Yoshimai to eat, so he rejected the Marquis' invitation.

"Great! Alec will never compliment me on cooking."

"Really?" It's a shame for the chef not to praise such a delicious soup.

"Alec has no sense of taste at all. It is said that it is because under the monastery's precepts, he is obliged to live a simple food life, and he does not know the joy of food at all."

Although I don't know the joy of delicious food, I know the joy of the flesh very well.What a rare broken monk, Yue Sheng thought so, staring at Alexis' upright appearance.

"I show my skills every night, you think he's going too far?"

"Are you usually the one who cooks?"

"En." Lucius nodded, leaving Yuesheng dumbfounded.He'd never heard of people letting demons do the cooking.

"It doesn't matter, I didn't add anything strange. I have learned from human chefs, and I have studied it carefully." Lucius couldn't help but feel complacent.

"Apprenticeship?"

Facing Yue Sheng who asked in surprise, Alexis seemed to be troubled and opened his mouth. "I once hired an ordinary chef to teach him how to cook. At that time, I was attacked by the whole meal every day and almost broke my body."

Yuesheng once heard that in order to let the servants learn how to cook, they invited skilled chefs to let the servants learn on the spot.Lucius probably also learned it through this method.

"Are you still holding grudges? Aren't you happy that I learned how to cook?"

"No matter what it is, it's the same when I put it in my mouth. You specially practice cooking for yourself, right? Lucius."

"That's right. Anyway, this is a rare opportunity. I want to taste delicious food."

"All you have to do is eat kitchen mice."

"In that case, I'll help Alec roast the mouse...I'm telling you, if
