"Very good!"
Faced with Susanoo's good awareness, Rui was very appreciative. This fellow indeed knew how to size up the situation. Right now, he was like a stray dog without any ability to protect himself. If this continued, there was only one outcome for him — he would be killed by his sisters, Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi.
Susanoo wasn't a fool. At this moment, he had no ability to protect himself. He could hide for a while, but could he hide forever? Furthermore, was he going to hide for the rest of his life and never see the light of day? Was he going to let those so-called sisters who had harmed his father continue to live in glory?
He couldn't. He couldn't tolerate it. Therefore, he chose an extreme path — a path of revenge!
To Susanoo, this was the best path. If he didn't allow it, he would suffer the most terrifying revenge. His sisters, Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, wouldn't even need to take action. If he angered Chu Rui, this terrifying devil, he might lose his life. In any case, he had nothing left now. He was no longer the high and mighty Susanoo of the three gods. He was surrounded on all sides and in a state of panic. Now, he could be killed at any time. Therefore, instead of living in such a state, he might as well rise up. Even if he died, he would die with a bang.
Now, there was no place for him in Japan. The only person Susanoo could rely on was Chu Rui, whom he had previously regarded as an enemy. He was alone, a foreigner. That was all. He had already embarked on a path of no return. If he didn't have a powerful ally, he might as well commit suicide now or leave his hometown. Otherwise, if he was caught, it wouldn't be as simple as death. He might even be tortured to the point of wishing he was dead. One had to know that a person who had committed such a bestial act of patricide, no matter how good his predecessor was, would feel as if he had been crushed by a mountain. His heart would be twisted. If such an existence wanted to vent his anger, he would definitely be the first to bear the brunt of it.
Choose to be killed and die in grievance, be captured and suffer a fate worse than death, or fight with all their might. As long as one was a normal person, they would know what to choose. Moreover, he basically didn't need to pay anything. Other than his own loyalty, he didn't need anything else. Why would he reject such a deal?
"I, Susanoo, am willing to serve Lord Sly Hand as my master, and I will never betray him! If I violate this oath, may the heavens and earth destroy me!"
After making up his mind, Susanoo directly knelt on the ground, made a blood oath, and handed over a part of his soul to Chu Rui. This was a sign of his allegiance. It was just the Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds and an oath. Who would believe it? Perhaps at this moment, Susanoo was truly at his wits' end. However, people change. There was no guarantee that he wouldn't go back on his word after he had escaped from his current predicament and obtained power. Susanoo resolutely did this because he knew that if he didn't act ruthlessly and make Chu Rui feel at ease, he wouldn't be able to rely on this person who could save his life and even help him reach the top in the future.
"…"
Chu Rui didn't say anything. He just calmly accepted Susanoo's soul imprint. From today onwards, he was Susanoo's master, and Susanoo was his slave. As long as Chu Rui wanted to, he could crush this soul imprint at any time, and Susanoo would die without a burial place. With such a lifeline in his hands, he wasn't afraid of Susanoo betraying him.
"Very good! Since you have already served me as your master, I will naturally protect your life. As for Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, there is nothing to worry about. However, that old man does have some ability. Within a year, I will come to Japan again. At that time, today's unfinished show will come to an end. From today onwards, you don't need to do anything. You just need to save your life. If you can't even save your life within a year, it will only mean that you don't have this life. "
Susanoo humbly listened to Chu Rui's words. If they were on equal footing in a sense before, then he was now Chu Rui's slave. He didn't dare to be impudent when his master reprimanded him. Bully the weak and submit to the strong. This was the innate character of the Japanese from the beginning to the end. Even Susanoo was no exception. And Chu Rui was naturally an expert he was willing to submit to.
"Here are three talismans that can allow you to hide in the five elements. Use them in times of danger."
Chu Rui took out three of the Five Spirit Escape Talismans he obtained from Daoist Yi Ye and handed them to Susanoo. He also told him how to use them. Obtaining such a magical talisman was equivalent to having three more lives. This made Susanoo ecstatic. Previously, he was still nervous. Chu Rui only wanted to use him and treat him like a dog. Now, it seemed that Chu Rui was still using him and still treating him like a dog. However, the difference was that he was still a dog with some weight and was more liked by his master.
"Next, it's up to your ability. If you can't even keep your life, then everything is just empty talk. On the other hand, if you can keep your life in this year, then you will see your enemy die with your own eyes. This will be your reward for offering the Kusanagi sword to me and being my dog. As a dog, you should know what will please your master. Whether you want to be a pet dog or a hunting dog, it's up to you. I don't like to force people. The decision is in your hands. That's all I have to say. Think about it carefully. "
Rui smiled evilly, leaving behind Susanoo who was deep in thought. Then, in a flash, he disappeared from this extremely secluded hiding place.
Chu Rui's words were very straightforward. He believed that with Susanoo's intelligence, it wouldn't be difficult for him to understand what he was talking about. Chu Rui's meaning was to let Susanoo choose to be a pet dog or a hunting dog. What was a pet dog? It was to be a pet, a simple pet that only obeys its master and doesn't do anything else.
Chu Rui gave Susanoo a chance and gave him three talismans to save his life. This was because Chu Rui never liked to owe others. If Susanoo didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth and wanted to go against him, then there was no need to say anything, he would directly kill him. However, this guy was very sensible. Not only did he hand over the Kusanagi sword, but he also handed over his life to Chu Rui. In this way, Chu Rui gave him such a choice.
