Chapter 113: 113. Picking up trash at the start
“Keep your copies of the Contract, and let’s take the Heart Demon Oath according to its terms, to ease your minds.”
Fang Zhou wouldn’t fully trust these gourd children, so in addition to the Contract, having an oath seemed more secure.
The gourd children were somewhat surprised; if they truly took oaths according to the Contract’s content, then indeed they wouldn’t have to be slaves.
Could this man really be so magnanimous?
The gourd children looked at each other, and eventually, under the lead of the eldest, they started taking the oath; they wouldn’t easily trust Fang Zhou either, as this fellow indeed had a past record; taking an oath was somewhat more reassuring.
After taking the oaths according to the Contract, a contractual relationship was established between the two parties.
From here on, the gourd children needed to work for Fang Zhou without compensation for ten years before gaining their freedom. Ten years was not long for demons, especially Grass and Wood Demons, so they didn’t find it excessive.
Being able to exchange a mere ten years for life and freedom was already a great bargain.
After the oath was taken, both parties were silent for a moment, as transitioning from enemies to cooperative relations didn’t immediately improve their closeness or trust.
The third child was the one who first broke the silence: “Hmph, don’t think that because we now agree, you’ll win our hearts; we will never submit to you.”
Fang Zhou looked at her curiously: “What do I want with your hearts? I want your bodies, give your hearts to whoever you want.”
