After ten minutes of "lashes of love"...
Su Ye looked at the water stains on the ground; he understood—this was "adoration."
"Alright," Su Ye said, and Alice immediately released the bound Haili.
Haili slumped on the ground, her face flushed, gasping for breath.
"Are you obedient now?" Su Ye looked at Haili and asked with a smile.
Haili looked at Su Ye, then at Alice standing beside him holding the long whip. She nodded wearily.
"What's her loyalty level now?" Su Ye asked Tang Wuxue.
"Eighty-seven," Tang Wuxue said to Su Ye with a strange expression.
"Not bad. From now on, you will assist your lord and manage the territory's affairs well. Don't worry about food or drink; just help your lord develop the territory. Understood?" Su Ye said softly to Haili.
"Understood," Haili nodded.
"Very good. Next, recruit troops. Today's Void Trial hasn't started yet, right?" Su Ye looked at Tang Wuxue.
"Not yet," Tang Wuxue nodded.
"Mm, wait a bit longer then. I'll come find you after things are finished on my end," Su Ye said to Tang Wuxue.
"Understood, Master," Tang Wuxue said softly, her eyes filled with complexity.
Su Ye nodded with satisfaction, pleased with Tang Wuxue's form of address.
"Alright, I still prefer your stubbornness. Stop pretending to be submissive. I can tell you're strong-willed at heart. So, just call me 'Master' in private. To outsiders, say we have an equality contract. Understand?" Su Ye instructed Tang Wuxue.
Tang Wuxue nodded, indicating she understood.
"Oh, and one more thing. Tell others I'm a Technology Lord, got it?" Su Ye added.
Tang Wuxue looked at Alice standing behind Su Ye.
A Technology Lord? What does he have to do with technology?
Her Sanctuary troops and God-potential Hero Unit had just been recruited only to be pinned down and beaten, unable to even fight back. Tang Wuxue didn't dare imagine how strong Alice—this succubus-like unit—actually was.
However, Tang Wuxue didn't ask. Since Su Ye didn't volunteer the information, she didn't pry.
"Right, one more thing. If anyone asks why we formed an alliance, say it's because I provide you with ten High-Grade Meat Resource Cards and a thousand gold coins every day."
Tang Wuxue was startled. Although she didn't understand Su Ye's intent, she nodded and noted it down.
"Don't worry. If nothing goes wrong, some sucker should come looking to ally with you. Ask for as much as you can," Su Ye said with a smile, instinctively thinking of One Leaf Knows Autumn.
Since he was a Rebirth player, he should know about Tang Wuxue's existence.
"One more thing. If someone asks when we allied, say it was during the last ten days of the novice period. Just remember my words and tell that to anyone outside," Su Ye said with a mischievous smile.
Tang Wuxue nodded and memorized it.
"That's it then. I'll leave you a hundred thousand gold coins and a thousand High-Grade Meat Resource Cards. That should be enough to get you through the novice period. I'll be back in a bit. The Void Trial on my side should be ending soon. Wait for me to come back before you start yours."
Tang Wuxue nodded, remembering everything Su Ye said.
Although she didn't know why Su Ye said those things, she understood a bit—Su Ye was hiding himself. Now, she was his Subordinate Lord.
If Su Ye died, she would die too. Therefore, anything bad for Su Ye was bad for her. This was fate.
"Oh, and these are three purple weapon and equipment blueprints: wind-chasing bow, black stone armor, and flame spear. Also, here's a purple blueprint for a Lightning Tower. Use them to arm your territory. Don't die." Su Ye pulled out four purple blueprints and thrust them into Tang Wuxue's hands.
Tang Wuxue stared at the purple blueprints in her hands, dumbfounded. Just how deep were the pockets of this master she had acknowledged?
Purple blueprints seemed as worthless as scrap paper to him.
"I'm off. Wait for me to return before starting the Void Trial." Su Ye nagged one last time before taking Alice back to his own territory.
Tang Wuxue looked at the blueprints in her hand and then at Haili, who had recovered.
"lord, who is he?" Haili asked Tang Wuxue, her eyes showing a mix of fear and excitement.
"He is the Master, my main lord. With just a thought, he could make our territory vanish." Tang Wuxue didn't hide anything; there was no need to keep secrets from her own Hero Unit.
"By the way, Haili, how strong is that person?" Tang Wuxue asked.
Haili nodded, her eyes full of both joy and fear. "Very terrifying. Even at the same level, it would be the same—completely powerless to resist."
"I see." Tang Wuxue's eyes held a trace of determination as she looked at the items Su Ye had left behind.
Although Su Ye had restarted her territory and everything had to begin anew, this start was much better than the first time. It was practically a god-tier start.
A hundred thousand gold coins, a thousand High-Grade Meat Resource Cards.
"Recruit!!" Tang Wuxue began her recruitment. White light flared, and female giants appeared one by one in the hall.
On Su Ye's side.
After returning to his territory.
Su Ye wasn't worried at all that Tang Wuxue would act against him or leak his information. Without his permission, she couldn't even write it down, let alone speak of it.
This was the power of the Eternal Contract. In short, as long as Su Ye forbade it, Tang Wuxue couldn't speak of it. Even if she wanted to write it down to pass to others, she couldn't; she wouldn't even be able to write the name 'Su Ye'.
This was the true value of the Eternal Contract. People didn't call Subordinate Lords "playthings" for nothing.
Everything belonging to a Subordinate Lord belongs to the main lord.
Even if someone performed a soul search, they wouldn't be able to extract any information about Su Ye from Tang Wuxue's soul.
That was how overbearing the Eternal Contract was.
Su Ye looked at the Void Trial in his territory; it was nearly over.
As time passed...
An hour later, the system notification sounded.
[Ding! Void Trial ended, evaluating...]
[Ding! Evaluation complete. Casualties: 0. Enemies killed: 300,000. Score: SSS.]
[Ding! You have obtained a sss-rank abyss difficulty score treasure chest!]
"300,000 monsters. So the count increases steadily by 50,000 every day?" Su Ye looked at the system log, then closed it and began Decomposition.
[Ding! You have decomposed 300,000 corpses and obtained 60,000 origin crystals!]
"60,000 origin crystals is not bad; it's a profit." Su Ye looked at his origin crystals. This was what he lacked most right now, as the Liquid Robot was essentially a bottomless pit for origin crystals.
