Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 378 You have my permission

Nesis looked at the human in front of him, pausing for a moment to think. He blinked as if trying to come up with the right answer to the human's question.

"I think it's because of the hole in your heart. Once it's completely healed, you will be able to leave this space."

"Huh?"

Kyle blinked, feeling a little confused and unsure of what the latter meant.

"A hole?"

Then it hit him. Right, the crystal was inside his heart, and when it sprang out, he sustained a dangerous injury.

"But it's just an injury, shouldn't it have healed with the amount of healing potions I consumed? And, the essence, it should have healed me, right?"

Nesis wriggled out of Kyle's grip, feeling the tightness on his shoulder. The man rubbed his shoulder, even though it wasn't his true body, he still felt the pain.

"You're right, it should have, but that soul-eating crystal was a sinister artifact. The dark energy it left behind messed up the healing process in the injured part of your heart. Those potions, they stopped the bleeding and healed the outer injury. But, they couldn't heal the injury deep inside your heart. And your bloodline, it was focused on healing your soul, the most important part of you."

Kyle's expression turned solemn as he scanned the man from head to toe.

"So, how can I leave this place? Don't tell me I have to wait for my heart to naturally heal. Or should I try guiding the essence to cure my injury?"

Nesis's eyebrow twitched, and he quickly stopped the human before he did something irreversible.

"No, don't do that. The essence is too strong and it could harm your heart. Your body may not age now, but it's still not strong enough to handle the immense power. Plus, if the bloodline could heal your heart without any harm, it would have already done it. After all, it healed your soul and even increased its rank."

Kyle gave the man an impatient look. The reason was clear - it didn't matter why he was stuck here. He needed answers on how to leave this place.

Nesis felt like crying. The man who had drained the life force of countless people never expected to find himself in this situation. He so badly wanted to slap his past self for being so greedy and getting involved with a mortal who possessed something so dangerous inside his body. After hesitating for a moment, a faint glow appeared in his eyes.

"I can help you with the injury, but you have to let me leave this place first."

Kyle raised his brow, not trusting the man one bit. What if he let him go and the guy just ran off without curing him?

Nesis had a speechless expression on his face, but Kyle's next words almost made his mind go blank.

"Right, take out another contract. This time, write inside that I'll let you go outside, and in return, you'll cure my heart. If either of us breaks our word, we both suffer consequences."

Kyle paused for a moment, a smirk forming at the corner of his lips.

"... And if Nesis tries any tricks while Kyle is unconscious, his consciousness will explode, and he will die instantly."

Nesis heard his words loud and clear and protested with a wronged expression. However, blue flames appeared around Kyle, and his lips curled into a snarl.

"You think you have a choice? You have taken ten years of my lifespan. No way I'II let you go so easily."

Nesis dropped to his knees, but then the blue flames around Kyle formed a round shield around both of them. The man looked at the human in front of him, who looked just like a devil, and reluctantly agreed with an aggrieved expression.

A thin piece of paper appeared in the air, and Kyle quickly grabbed it. The human turned around and started reading all the terms. After reading them at least ten times, he heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he went back to the man and asked him to sign first before he would sign.

Nesis complied with a blank expression. Well, his fate was already sealed when he laid his eyes on this human, so what more could hurt him?

He would be happy that he could somehow save his life, just this time. He promised himself he would never even dare to follow someone so casually again.

The horned man signed the contract with trembling fingers. It was an unfair contract that he had only made others sign before. Who could have thought that one day he would experience the same thing he had put others through?

Kyle didn't even bother to glance at him. After reading the contract with narrow eyes one last time, he signed it and sealed the deal. He stared at Nesis and took a deep breath.

"Go, you have my permission to leave the mind space."

However, before the man's face could light up and he could run away, Kyle stopped him with a deadpan expression. The human paced around him before stopping right in front of his face.

"I need to make sure you didn't take anything from my mind space. You know, there's a lot of valuable stuff in here."

Nesis blinked, watching Kyle's eyes scrutinize his robe. He couldn't believe this pesky human was accusing him of stealing when all he did was run to escape those blue flames. He would be lying if he said he was not tempted to steal a few treasures under the human's nose.

But darn, this mind space is so vast that if he really did start looking around for the treasures, the flames would have killed him even before he found a single one.

Kyle smiled when he didn't sense anything precious with the man. He nodded and motioned for Nesis to get lost and do his job. After all, he needed to leave this place as soon as possible.

The horned man wiped his eyes, which had become wet for some unknown reason, and quickly disappeared from the mind space.

Kyle kept an eye on his surroundings and sat down with crossed legs, impatiently waiting for the man to do his job.
