"Oh?"
Li Fei looked at Zhao Yi in some surprise. "You mean I need to learn a magic oath from Wuda at a considerable cost and then use it on you to ensure you won't leak secrets and become an enemy? Why shouldn't I just kill you when the time comes? That would be simpler and save effort."
Zhao Yi locked eyes with Li Fei, his expression tinged with a tragic anger:
"I never really thought about killing you! Yes, I was outmatched, and I accept being in your hands. I accept that you took the Dream Command from me. Now I'm only begging for a chance to live—is that too much to ask?"
"There's a saying, 'Repay kindness with kindness, but how to repay kindness itself?' If our roles were reversed, do you think you would easily let me go?"
Li Fei responded calmly, maintaining eye contact with Zhao Yi as he spoke.
"Then add this—I will serve you for three years. After three years, you give me my freedom."
