The Evil Lord's Wife Has Spirit Blood Chapter 367

Sitting on the bed, Michelle watched the black cat next to her closely as it stared up at her warily.

And on the other side of the bed was Alexander, leaning against the headrest, his eyes half‑closed.

He was aware of every movent in the room, every breath taken, but since Michelle didn’t want it, he wouldn’t intervene.

While staring up at Michelle, Tenether let out a wisp of both soul and spirit energy to sense who Michelle really was.

If he wanted, he could just bolt out of the room, but he had to find out why Michelle was with him when he got out of the Starving Cub state.

She could know sothing vital, or maybe there was sothing else going on he wouldn’t know if he just bolted out.

Sensing the soul and spirit energy, Michelle tilted her head a bit.

"Instead of doing sothing inefficient like this, how about I instead let you read my mories?" she asked with a careless smile.

When her words fell, Tenether nearly instantly retracted his energies.

He wasn’t expecting her to be able to sense that so easily.

And he was also surprised that she would suggest mory reading.

He had only ever t a few people who willingly had soone read their mories, and it was always in dire situations.

Just like Tenether was surprised, Alexander’s eyes narrowed sharply.

He didn’t like the idea of a monster reading Michelle’s mories when it was still clearly antagonistic towards her.

All mory manipulation and mory‑reading skills required the caster to send their energy deep into the consciousness of the one whose mories they wanted to read.

And there, it took just a single flicker of energy, and the person would be reduced to nothing but a barely conscious shell.

There was no way to guarantee that Tenether wouldn’t do that, and Michelle had to know that.

So why did she suggest mory reading?

He couldn’t wrap his head around it, and Tenether was also clearly suspicious of Michelle’s motives.

Michelle didn’t pay attention to Alexander, so she didn’t notice the narrowing of his eyes.

But she noticed the obvious suspicions Tenether was displaying.

"There’s no way for to harm you if you are the one using the skill. So why the wariness?" she asked with a careless smile.

Tenether let out a hiss.

So it seed that even after getting back his consciousness, he couldn’t speak.

That was quite strange considering his power.

He was more powerful than both Noctis and Unlucien.

Monsters of that power were usually speaking fluently.

But that didn’t an Michelle couldn’t understand Tenether.

Even when in the Starving Cub state, he couldn’t speak, and thus he altered Michelle’s soul to be able to decipher his hisses and ows, or any sounds he made depending on what creature.

So Michelle heard what he wanted to say:

"A scheming woman like you could easily manipulate her own mories to make see what you want so I co to trust you!"

Tenether had no idea that Michelle could understand him, so he just kept hissing angrily.

But that was just incoherent noise without any logical aning.

It was just ant to show his dissatisfaction.

Because of that, Tenether was fairly surprised when Michelle responded to what he said in his mind.

"You can be sure I didn’t manipulate the mories if you go through all of them. It would be impossible for to manipulate such an amount."

Tenether hissed sothing at Michelle a few more tis, and when he realized she could indeed understand him, he was shocked.

Monsters could alter soone’s soul to understand them only if they were in a contract.

Monsters being contracted to soone was rare, but not unheard of.

And Tenether had never considered he would ever end up in a contract with soone, especially so with a woman as suspicious as Michelle.

In one way, it made him more wary of Michelle: what did she do to his childish self for him to form a contract with her?

But at the sa ti, it made him drop a part of his guard down.

It was unheard of for contract masters to attack their contract monsters, so he didn’t have that to worry about.

But that also ant he wouldn’t be able to attack Michelle if she angered him.

Tenether didn’t like that restriction, even though he knew that, with Alexander around, he would never be able to lay a hand on Michelle.

And not knowing anything about Michelle or Alexander, Tenether couldn’t even be confident about breaking the contract.

So, suddenly, the thought of going through Michelle’s mories was quite tempting.

He could see who he was up against, and maybe even who Alexander was.

With sothing between a ow and a hiss, Tenether agreed, making Michelle raise a brow.

After seeing how suspicious Tenether was of her, she didn’t expect him to agree to anything she suggested.

But his agreent only satisfied her.

At least she wouldn’t have to bother convincing him.

She would just have to make sure he didn’t try to attack her consciousness.

Seeing Tenether getting close to Michelle, clearly to scan her mories, Alexander felt the corner of his mouth twitch.

If that cat tried anything, he would turn it into a blood soup in an instant.

Just beneath his skin, his shadow essence bubbled, ready to lunge forth.

Closing her eyes so Tenether could scan her mories, Michelle felt a stir in her soul energy.

Serith was signing sothing for her to read.

It was a question:

"You want to make sure he doesn’t do anything suspicious?"

Michelle manipulated the soul energy into a yes sign.

Serith’s presence in her soul was the reason she dared to let Tenether scan her consciousness.

She herself wouldn’t be able to interfere, but Serith, with control over her soul energy, would be able to — and with the precision of a brain surgeon.

Tenether jumped to Michelle’s shoulder before getting on top of her head.

Once there, he started inserting a mix of his spirit and soul energy into her head to begin the scanning.

To his surprise, it was quite hard to insert the energies into Michelle’s consciousness, showing that her soul was extrely dense or concentrated exactly on the spot through which he wanted to push.

Such level of concentration was mortally impossible, so that left Tenether with only the first option.

And it got confird the mont his energies sank into Michelle’s soul and consciousness.

It was completely black there.

That could only happen if one’s soul was so dense there was no spare space for light.

Most of the soul space was like that until Tenether spotted a place that was acting differently.

Like it was a completely different soul.

Tenether didn’t know that, but that was Serith there.

Still, Tenether didn’t concentrate on that spot.

It had nothing to do with him or his goal.

He had to concentrate on the mory center of the soul.

In such a dense soul, finding it could be difficult.

Well, difficult...

If a monster of Tenether’s power deed sothing difficult, it usually didn’t take longer than twenty seconds to finish it.

He was considered an ancient calamity for sothing.

There was a solid reason Mavreth had to seal him down in the lower realm.

So, just a few monts later, Tenether was looking through Michelle’s mories, and they were flashing in her mind, forcing her to rember all that had happened both in her past life and since she beca Michelle Grace.

For an old monster like Tenether, the amount of mories Michelle had accumulated in both her lives wasn’t that much, and he had gone through it twice in re three minutes.

Then, he jumped off Michelle’s head and landed on her lap.

"You might have been a good master to my disabled self, but that doesn’t an I will accept the contract. Either find a way to break it yourself, or I will do it in a while." he finally spoke calmly.

He was no longer wary of Michelle, but his view of her was still different from how he would view soone else if they managed to contract him.

In the mories, he had seen just what kind of immortal creature Michelle was.

Not a human, not a beast, not a monster.

He didn’t want to be associated with that.

Michelle gave a slight nod, having expected that.

After the mory scanning, she was feeling a tad bit tired, so her reaction was very subtle.

Unlike when she scanned or manipulated soone’s mory, which she made sure was painless, monsters didn’t really care about that, and it hurt like hell when Tenether did the scanning.

And the worst thing about it was that Michelle only started properly feeling it once he retracted his energies.

Because only then did the pain signals reach her brain in full power.

Until then, they were being blocked by the energies.

Tenether knew there would be no talking with Michelle because of the scanning, so he jumped off the bed and curled up there to rest.

He could wait the while until Michelle got back to her senses.

The mont Tenether landed on the ground, Alexander summoned his shadow essence and shot it towards him.

The black mass hit the kitten and pushed it under the bed so it wouldn’t be in Alexander’s sight.

He really didn’t like the creature.
