Chapter 607 Couple in Debt! Sign Another Eight-Year Life-or-Death Contract!

Zhuiyu: "When Miao'er comes back, if she still wants to get married, I will help her find a good husband."

"If she doesn't want to remarry, I will support her as my sister for the rest of my life."

Po Feng: "What if she... insists that you fulfill the marriage agreement between our two families and insists on marrying you?"

Zhuiyu: "That's only right, I should marry her."

"I will treat her well too."

Po Feng: "You really don't care?"

Zhuiyu turned around and punched Pofeng again.

Why should you care?

"She's already suffered enough. If I despise her too, how will she survive?"

"Moreover, all the suffering she endured was because of my incompetence."

"If I had found her sooner, perhaps she wouldn't have suffered all this."

"I was selfish enough to want to get rid of this before, but now I realize how much of a beast I was! I'm the only family Miao'er has left in this world. If I try to get rid of her, how am I any different from those who hurt her?"

"So I've figured it out. As long as she's still willing, I'll take on this responsibility."

Po Feng sighed and gripped Zhui Yu's shoulder tightly: "Brother, you did a great job."

Zhuiyu: "I know I should do this."

But I couldn't hide my disappointment.

For some people, this means letting go completely from now on.

The next day.

Li Qing wandered aimlessly through the streets of Mantuo City.

The local people are simple and honest, but they are more open than those of Da Chu and Da Liang.

Women can walk freely on the street.

There's no need to cover your head or face.

It is not necessary for a man to accompany them.

Women can also sell and hawk their wares on the street.

Li Qingluo even saw a little girl carrying a bamboo basket to school, and her companions included both boys and girls.

“Young lady, this city of Mantuo seems to be very friendly to women.”

Que'er followed Li Qingluo, happily observing the local customs.

Although the people here did not live a very prosperous life due to the war, their faces were filled with a sense of satisfaction and joy that was not found in Nan'an and Jinling.

Li Qingluo also noticed.

It seems that Pofeng has managed this place very well.

This is a really good phenomenon.

Just then, Sha San hurriedly arrived.

"Girl, Qin Ling and Li Yunchu have run away."

Li Qingluo: "Follow them."

She knew all along that those two would run away.

So how could they possibly escape?

She wasn't so kind as to let these two unfortunate lovers live happily ever after.

Therefore, they had already had Granny Zheng do something to them.

Sure enough, Qinling returned panting and disheveled before sunset.

"What exactly did you do to her!?"

"Li Qingluo, do you really intend to be so ruthless as to wipe us out completely?!"

Li Qingluo was still leisurely drinking tea when she saw Qin Ling's hurried appearance, and she just smiled.

What can I do?

"Qin Ling, the one who wanted to kill her was you."

"Your medical skills have always been superb. What, you can't even diagnose or treat Li Yunchu's illness now?"

Qin Ling, his face pale, still tried to rush forward.

He was about to be killed when he used his sword to stop the attack.

Qin Ling dared not step forward again, and roared in a rough voice, "What do you mean by that?"

"Was it you who did the dirty work?"

"You did indeed use witchcraft!"

"Even if I were a supreme deity, I couldn't save her!"

"No wonder she suddenly couldn't breathe when we were only ten miles outside the dilapidated temple."

"Now I can't even drink water anymore."

"Li Qingluo, if anything happens to Yunniang, I'll fight you to the death!"

Li Qingluo picked at her ear, extremely impatient: "So, you came back to question me yourself, but left her in the dilapidated temple?"

"Qin Ling, you're so adorably stupid."

"You've already guessed it's witchcraft, yet you still haven't carried her back yourself. Do you love her, or do you want to harm her?"

"Let's go, or your Yunniang will have to be buried right away."

Before Qin Ling could react, Sha Er grabbed him by the back of the neck and carried him away.

"open!"

"Let me go, you cold-blooded monsters who kill without blinking an eye—"

"ah--"

A dilapidated temple outside the city.

Where was Li Yunchu in the empty ground?

Qin Ling lay prone on the ground, his face filled with panic: "Where is everyone?"

"I hid her here safely! Yunniang—Yunniang!!"

Qin Ling, realizing he might have truly harmed Li Yunchu, burst into heart-wrenching sobs: "Yunniang—"

"If anything happens to you, I'll go with you—"

Qin Ling looked like he was really looking to die.

Li Qingluo gave him a look, and Sha Er quickly stepped forward and lifted him up by the neck again.

"Shut up! If you howl again, I'll kill you!"

Li Qingluo looked at Sha Shisan, who emerged from the shadows: "What's going on?"

Kill Thirteen: "Reporting to Miss, a merchant caravan just passed by and took her away."

Without orders, no one dared to stop the killing of Thirteen.

However, he had marked the caravan, so it was easy to find.

Li Qingluo: "The witchcraft afflicting Li Yunchu prevents her from leaving Mantuo City. The farther she goes, the more suffocated she will become."

"Go, bring the person back immediately."

"If we had gone any later, it would have been too late to save him!"

Li Qingluo didn't care about Li Yunchu's life.

But she still wanted to exploit Qinling.

Qin Ling is a useful person.

Li Qingluo went to great lengths to ensure that Qin Ling would be convinced and continue to work for him.

Unexpectedly, Qin Ling, that adorable fool, actually lost Li Yunchu first.

Kill Thirteen and Kill Two immediately gave chase.

Qin Ling's face turned pale, and he cried out in regret after hearing the truth.

“Yunniang…”

"It's my fault that you're in this situation..."

Li Qingluo: "If you keep making noise, I'll make them come back!"

Qin Ling choked instantly.

And he glared angrily at Li Qingluo.

It's all your fault!

"If you hadn't been thinking of harming us, Yunniang wouldn't have suffered so much!"

Li Qingluo: "If you weren't thinking about escaping, would she have suffered all this pain?"

Qinling choked again.

"You, you!"

"You persecute us so much, yet you won't even let this poor couple escape your clutches?"

Li Qingluo: "Then run away. Why would you come begging to me?"

"Since you've come back to ask me for help, you should have the attitude of asking for help."

"Qin Ling, this is what you and your husband owe me."

After saying that, Li Qingluo lifted her foot and strode outside.

Qin Ling chased after her, crying out, "Li Qingluo, you stop right there!"

"What do you want from us?"

"Please, I'm begging you."

"Please spare us—"

"I'll be your slave in my next life to repay the debt I owe you!"

Li Qingluo: "Don't even think about the next life."

"If you serve me for another eight years in this lifetime, I will spare you."

"how?"

Qin Ling: "I've been doing all this for you for two years, isn't that enough?"

"You really want another eight years?"

How many eight-year periods are there in a lifetime, ah!?

"I'll be old in eight years!"

"If I leave Yunniang for another eight years, what's the point of my life?"

Qin Ling was so angry he jumped up and down, wishing he could rush up and die together with Li Qingluo.

Li Qingluo turned around and gave him a strange smile.

"If I keep Li Yunchu here as well."

"Would you be willing to sign an eight-year life-or-death contract with me?"

Qin Ling was startled by her laughter.

He couldn't help but step back.

"What...what do you mean?"

"You're going to use witchcraft?"

Li Qingluo crossed her arms and looked at him coldly: "It seems you don't love Yunniang that much after all."

"It's very simple."

“I have made a life-or-death pact with you using witchcraft. If you dare to defect or try to put me to death within these eight years, you will die instantly.”

"If you dare, I will revive your Yunniang, remove the witchcraft from her body, and keep her by your side, so that you two can be reunited."

"Think about it carefully."

After saying that, Li Qingluo strode onto his horse.

By the time Qin Ling realized what was happening, she had already disappeared into the swirling dust.

Qin Ling quickly climbed onto his horse and gave chase.

"I'll sign, I'll sign, okay?"

To hell with it.

Anyway, I can't escape this heartless woman's clutches. As long as it's not Yunniang who suffers, as long as the couple can still be together, what does it matter if I give up my life?

Seeing Qin Ling catch up, Zheng Mama, who was following beside him, asked with great concern, "Miss, are you really going to sign some kind of contract with him?"

"Let this old servant do it!"

Li Qingluo: "Just trying to scare him."

“I promised Your Highness that I would not use witchcraft lightly.”

"But after being frightened, he dared not disbelieve it."

"We can just pretend to have a contract then."

"Li Yunchu only swallowed a Gu worm that my senior sister gave me. She really can't go too far from Mantuo City, otherwise she will be poisoned."

"If you find her, just give her the antidote I gave you."

"Let's go back to the city!"

"It's time to prepare for the trip to Eagle City!"

"drive--"

Li Yunchu was rescued without any serious injury.

However, Sha Shisan suffered a minor injury.

“Girl, this group doesn’t seem to be an ordinary caravan.”

"It looks more like someone from the Western Regions in disguise."

Li Qingluo first inquired about Sha Shisan's injuries before asking about the group of people.

How did your fight go?

"They ran away?"

Sha Er: "Reporting to the young lady, there are indeed several highly skilled guards among them."

"However, if my two subordinates were to fight them to the death, they would be no match for them."

Li Qingluo: "You did the right thing."

"No need to risk your life, just complete the task."

"Besides their suspicious identities, are there any other oddities about these people?"

Sha Er thought for a moment and replied, "There is a special mark."

"They all had their necks and heads completely covered up. One of them accidentally pulled open a headscarf and saw a spearhead-shaped hook tattoo behind his ear down to his neck."

A spearhead hook tattoo?

Li Qingluo immediately drew it on the paper.

"But like this?"

Kill Two and Kill Thirteen immediately pointed and confirmed, "That's it!"

"Young lady, how did you know?"

Li Qingluo: "I heard it from Xuan Cang."

"It is said that people from the Wusun Kingdom have such a mark behind their ears."

"So, they're actually from the Wusun Kingdom! But why did they capture Li Yunchu?"

The fog surrounding Mantuo City seemed to be getting deeper and deeper. Li Qingluo vaguely grasped a clue, but could not see it clearly at all.

Just then, Xuan Cang walked in.

"Luo'er, a secret message from our sect!"
