Chapter 169 - Chapter 169 What's the Price?

"Is it really here?"

One of them, a clear-faced, stylishly dressed female university student with brown wavy hair, looked at the mansion in front of her and said cautiously.

"The navigation won't be wrong, and that person has no reason to lie to us. Yongzi-nee also witnessed the power she displayed that day, didn't she?"

The elementary school girl with a single ponytail and bright purple hair looked at her phone and said.

"That's true, but in this day and age, there are probably many people who don't want to be disturbed, right?"

Baoyue Yongzi was unsure.

After all, after going to university, she had met many people.

Many people were very cold towards others.

"Let's ask and find out."

With that, Baoyue Xiaoxiao jumped up and pressed the doorbell.

Then, the iron gate slowly opened from both sides.

"Does this mean... they're inviting us in?"

"Let's go."

Baoyue Xiaoxiao led the way.

Baoyue Yongzi sighed softly, then led a blonde girl in a hospital gown and followed her inside.

.....

"Welcome!"

Yurikawa Hana stood at the entrance, greeting the three.

The Hodzuki sisters exchanged glances, seeing the confusion on each other's faces.

However, upon seeing Sakurajima Mai's figure, they slowly lowered their guard.

"Xiaoxiao, and Baoyue Yongzi, the one next to you is Shindai Aiyi, as you mentioned, right?"

Sakurajima Mai quickly got to the point.

She glanced at the somewhat weak-looking blonde girl and asked.

"Yes, she's the one I told you about, the bride who will be offered to the gods in the future."

Baoyue Xiaoxiao nodded.

As she moved, the pendant hanging from her dark gothic-style clothes jingled.

At the same time, while Sakurajima Mai was speaking, she was also sizing up the people in front of her.

Five beautiful girls, and a young man of the same age.

It wasn't hard to guess that this luxurious manor was likely the man's property.

And for so many girls to be living in his home suggested that their relationship was also out of the ordinary.

Baoyue Xiaoxiao began to suspect this might be a trap.

"A God's Bride?! That sounds so wonderful!"

Yurikawa Hana exclaimed, her face flushing.

The others couldn't help but look at Rosen.

Images of themselves in wedding dresses flashed through their minds.

"'Bride' is just a beautified term; after all, the prerequisite for becoming a bride is death."

Baoyue Xiaoxiao's voice was cold, and as she spoke, a chill seemed to permeate the air.

Upon hearing this, the girls, who had been surprised, quickly fell silent.

After all, the word "death" is a very heavy topic, no matter who it applies to.

"Isn't that just a human sacrifice?"

Yotsuya Miko paused slightly.

Then she recalled the Mountain God they had defeated together last time.

Although the women sacrificed to the Mountain God were not brides, their fate was not just death; even their souls would be enslaved, never to reincarnate.

If what this dark lolita said was true, Shindai Aiyi's "fiancé" would definitely be an Evil God!

"Why are there so many Evil Gods? It feels like, besides Lord Rosen, all other Gods are Evil Gods?"

Compared to those Evil Gods who demanded human sacrifices, Rosen's contract only required unconditional obedience, yet they received immense blessings. They were clearly gaining a huge advantage.

If it weren't for them being of a lawful good alignment, they would have suggested that Rosen change the contract terms, as obtaining these powers felt too easy.

"Hmm?"

Baoyue Xiaoxiao keenly caught the keyword in Zhoufang Youxi's words.

Then, her eyes, with their double pupils, shot straight at Rosen.

"Big Brother… could he also be a God?"

"Huh? No way?"

Baoyue Yongzi's eyes widened instantly.

But when she looked closely at Rosen, she could perceive a special aura about him that was different from ordinary people.

In his dark eyes, a golden gleam seemed to flash and disappear, and the gentle smile on his lips made people involuntarily lower their guard.

Although it was their first meeting, Baoyue Yongzi quickly recognized Rosen's extraordinary nature.

Perhaps… he really was a God.

However, the thought of a God standing right before her made Baoyue Yongzi feel like the world was becoming increasingly absurd.

When did Gods start living in the same place as mortals like them?

"A God…"

Shindai Aiyi, dressed in a hospital gown as if she had just been brought from the hospital, murmured, her pale lips slightly parted.

She had seen the God she was to marry several times in her dreams.

Pale hair, a pale face, and an unsettling and terrifying aura and power.

All of this filled Shindai Aiyi with immense fear.

However, standing before this man, that trembling sense of dread seemed to vanish completely.

Although it couldn't be confirmed yet, Shindai Aiyi believed that the man before her was indeed a genuine God!

Rosen did not use any of his power to interfere with their thoughts, but after illuminating the Qliphoth, even if he didn't spread his divine power, it was enough to form a special field around himself, similar to a "Divine Realm."

This field could not only dispel evil spirits but also bring peace to people's minds. Even the growth rate of flowers, plants, and trees would accelerate, and the scents they emitted would become sweeter.

Rosen walked over, then reached out and lifted Shindai Aiyi's chin.

The pentagram mark in the girl's eyes was quite conspicuous.

Undoubtedly, this was the identity of a "God-Chosen Bride."

"There is indeed a contract left by something else on her body, a pentagram… it seems to be pretty much what I guessed."

Saying words that Baoyue Xiaoxiao and the other two didn't understand, Rosen withdrew his hand and looked at them.

"So, your intention is to remove the contract from this girl's body?"

"Yes."

Baoyue Xiaoxiao replied immediately.

"Originally, I wanted to bring her here for refuge, and then give myself time to set up traps and barriers, but if you can directly resolve the contract on Aiyi, that would be a huge help."

"Then, what is the price?"

Rosen asked.

This question made Baoyue Xiaoxiao pause slightly.

But she didn't refute or complain.

After all, it's impossible to ask for help without giving anything in return.

Moreover, the other party was a God.

But what should she do?

After all, she didn't know the God's background. If the contract was the same as an Evil God's, it would be like jumping into another fire pit.
