Chapter 94: Making an Oath

  Hongmi cautiously glanced at Luoyu, and after a long time, he plucked up the courage to speak: "Master, don't be angry, it's just that Huang Shu, right? Once I find her, I'll swallow her in one gulp."

  "Hmph!" Luo Yu laughed, stroking the flower petals, her expression calming down: "It's rare for Hong Mi to comfort me, but I'm not a match for her now, and you're even less of a match. Actually, you're right, what's the point of getting angry here? What I should be doing is hurry up and advance to the Foundation Building stage, so I won't have to hide from her anymore. But there are other things about her that make my hair stand on end... forget it, no use thinking too much, let's just deal with this trouble in front of us first."

  "Master, give him to me as a reward, and I'll swallow him in one bite. There won't be any more trouble." Hong Mi enthusiastically rubbed against Luo Yu's fingertips.

  Luo Yu snorted with laughter: "Don't say you didn't see the black dragon in the Black Sword, if it's awakened, ten of you wouldn't be enough to fill its teeth."

  "We can just take his sword away first——" Hong Mi rolled up Hei Jian in Hou Yong's hand.

  "The awakened sword soul is not as simple as you think. Perhaps if you take it a little further away, the sword soul will wake up. Or are you trying to verify that?"

  "No way, I'll listen to Master's." With a clatter, Hong Mi returned the black sword to Hou Yong's side. My life is worth more than this dead kid's.

  "Killing can't kill, releasing can't release, it's really a headache for Hongmi. Do you have any way to make him wake up, but also can't use spiritual power."

  "Look at me!" Hongmi pried open Houyong's lips and sprayed a red ** from the stamen, slapping his mouth shut.

  "This is a toxin that intertwines with spiritual energy, making it impossible for him to use his spiritual energy. If he can't get rid of it within an hour, it'll be very difficult to expel it afterwards." Hongmi was quite pleased, swaying the flower.

  "Not bad, now wake him up."

  "Master, just wash off the liquid on his face. He will wake up. My water spirit root has not grown yet, and there is no soil to absorb - "

  "I understand." Luo Yu nodded and pinched a seal with her right hand. A jet of clear water shot out to the opposite side, drenching Hou Yong completely.

  "Cough, cough!" Hou Yong felt that he had a very long dream, in which there was a voice asking him many questions, but they were all vague and he couldn't remember anything. Just as he was thinking about it, the sky suddenly poured down heavy rain, soaking him through.

  "It's you..." Hou Yong completely woke up, suddenly sat up, but then slumped down again, his expression changing several times.

  "Why don't you just kill me?" He had already discovered the abnormality in his body.

  Hmph. If I could kill you, do you think I would let you off?

  Bang! A dagger was thrown in front of Hou Yong.

  Luo Yu sneered: "If you want to die, then go kill yourself!"

  The silence stretched out in the small tree hole, and Hou Yong finally couldn't bear it any longer than Luo Yu, speaking first: "What do you want?"

  "This should be what I ask you." Luo Yu's face was icy: "What do you want?"

  If Huang Shimei wanted to kill him, she wouldn't have woken him up. Huang Shimei left a mark on his body to ensure her own safety, but if his answer didn't satisfy her, she should be willing to kill herself, after all, he had stabbed her before. If it were himself, he would have killed the other party without hesitation. Huang Shimei was still an inexperienced young girl, too soft-hearted.

  For some reason, that person wanted to send her to death, but he had done what he promised. As for whether the assassination was successful or not, it was not within his promise, and he was not afraid of death, but leaving behind his sister Jie alone in the Xiuzhen world made him uneasy

  Hou Yong closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was only a firm determination left in his gaze: "The person behind the scenes will not be revealed by me. Because I promised her. As long as you agree to this one condition, I can sign the Soul Master Contract."

  "Hmph, you don't have to say it, I already know who it is!" Luo Yu glanced at him, "Huang Luo Yi must think that she and I have no connection whatsoever. No matter how hard I try to guess, I wouldn't have thought of her sending you to assassinate me. However, thinking back on my 15 years since birth, except for the time five years ago when I inadvertently gave a loose cultivator a Rebirth Dan, hindering Huang Luo Yi's chance at a good deed and thus creating bad blood between us, I couldn't think of anyone else I've wronged. So this person must be Huang Luo Yi, my dear cousin!"

  Luo Yu indeed saw Hou Yong's face change color, especially when he heard the three words "Fuyuan Dan".

  "Did you interrogate me while I was unconscious? Was it from my own mouth that you learned this?" Hou Yong sprang to his feet, questioning fiercely, his eyes blazing red.

  Luo Yu snorted in laughter: "Isn't it normal for me to interrogate you? Are you saying that only you can kill me, but I'm not allowed to interrogate you, how absurd!"

  Hou Yong's face turned pale, and he sat back down dejectedly, with beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his face.

  Seeing him in such a state, Luo Yu kindly dispelled his confusion: "Don't worry, you didn't mention her name. I was just chatting with you about your sister. However, don't you think that there were many coincidences regarding the incident three years ago when your sister got hurt?"

  The last sentence was intentionally said by Luo Yu, as for whether Huang Luo Yi dominated the whole thing or not, she really didn't know, but as long as Hou Yong believed it, that's all that mattered.

  Hou Yong's face turned even paler, carefully thinking back to the events of three years ago. Indeed, there were many suspicious points. Just the fact that Huang Luo was able to find him was already suspicious. He was just one of tens of thousands of outer sect disciples, and if it weren't for his prior attention, how could he have found their rented house in a corner of the city within half an hour after the incident?

  Hou Yong solemnly thanked him: "Thank you for reminding me, I will investigate this matter myself."

  "That's your business," Luo Yu said in a light tone: "If you acknowledge the master-soul contract, it won't be necessary. You only need to make an oath not to harbor murderous intentions towards me, and not to oppose me. However, you must add your sister Hou Jie'er's name to the oath."

  "You..." Hearing the vow that he had to add his sister, Hou Yong angrily stood up. Seeing the other's firm attitude, he slowly sat down and pleaded: "I am sincere in wanting to establish a master-soul contract..."

  "Either die or do as I say!"

  What's a Soul Contract? She didn't even know when she would be counter-attacked, the red rice beside her was an example. At first, they signed a master-slave soul contract. If it wasn't for her quick wit, she would have been successfully counter-attacked and died long ago, so she firmly refused to sign a soul contract with anyone else.

  Hou Yong values his sister's life more than his own, and when he adds Hou Jie Er to the oath, she becomes even more at ease.

  Hou Yong fell silent for a long time, until Luo Yu couldn't bear it anymore. He took a deep breath and slowly opened his mouth: "I, Hou Yong, swear that from now on, I will not harbor any murderous intentions towards Huang Luo Yu, nor will I oppose her. If I do, my sister Hou Jie Er and I will never be able to advance in our cultivation for the rest of our lives, and we will die from walking into the devil's path during our practice."

  After hearing Hou Yong's oath, Luo Yu nodded: "Hong Mi, help him detoxify."

  A green vine suddenly stretched out from Luo Yu's wrist and landed on Hou Yong's arm, but he shook it off with one hand.
