The valley fell silent for a moment.

Little Tiger is being a bit naughty.

Qiqi thinks we need to give Little Tiger a strong dose of medicine!

So she turned and ran towards Huo Yuwei, "Never mind, big brother, let's go. I have the copper coin sword, it works just as well, and I don't really want that other sword."

Seeing the little girl wink at him, Huo Yuwei knew she was up to no good again, so he nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's go then."

The two of them held hands and turned to walk out of the cave, as if they really intended to give up their swords.

The tiger grew anxious and roared from behind, "Hey, don't go! I didn't say I wouldn't give you the sword!"

We've been tricked!

Qiqi and Huo Yuwei exchanged a glance, their eyes gleaming with triumphant smiles.

"Really?" Qiqi stopped and turned around.

The way she looked clearly showed she didn't trust her.

The tiger is angry! Hey, how can you doubt his tigerish character!

He's the king of the jungle, he never lies!

"You little brat, where's the most basic trust between a human and a tiger?"

The tiger grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Come back here, let's have a proper talk."

This little guy isn't the first one to come looking for the sword in a thousand years.

However, he is the only one in a thousand years to reveal his identity and know that he is trapped here, waiting for someone to draw his sword.

Having missed her, he doesn't know how long he'll have to wait.

So no matter what, we must make this brat pull out the sword today and let him out.

He's been locked up here for a thousand years, and he's had enough.

The world is so big, he wants to go see it.

"I'm young, don't lie to me!" Qiqi turned back with a hint of doubt.

Huo Yuwei watched as the little girl coaxed the tiger online, his mouth twitching from trying so hard not to laugh.

He simply lowered his head and followed the little girl closely.

"I'm not kidding you, come here, come here."

The tiger raised its front paw and beckoned to Qiqi.

Qiqi walked up to him and squatted down. The three-year-old little dumpling squatted down and looked like a tiny lump, creating a stark size difference with the adult tiger. The scene looked unexpectedly cute.

"Little Tiger, I'm back! You still haven't told me where the Xuanyuan Sword is, have you?"

She wanted to draw her sword and hurry back; Little Ninth Brother's demonic energy couldn't be delayed any longer.

The tiger twitched its ears, suddenly stretched out its limbs, and transformed on the spot into a young man wrapped in animal skin.

The man looked to be in his early twenties, with a robust and muscular build, and tiger stripes were still faintly visible on his face.

There is a very obvious red mark on the "king" mark between his eyebrows, cut off from the middle, like a curse or a restriction.

Ah~

Qiqi exclaimed in delight, "Little Tiger, I didn't expect you to be so handsome when you turn into a human!"

The praise made the tiger very happy.

He casually flicked his bangs, trying to look cool, and said, "Well, I'm just so-so handsome."

The girl may not be a good person, but she has good taste!

Qiqi rolled her big eyes and asked, "So, where exactly is the Xuanyuan Sword, you so-so handsome little tiger?"

The little girl is fair-skinned, soft, and chubby; she looks just like a glutinous rice ball.

Unfortunately, it's a sesame-filled glutinous rice ball!

But the tiger didn't know that, and just complained, "You little girl, why are you in such a hurry? The Xuanyuan Sword is right behind me in the mountain wall, it can't run away. Let's agree on the terms first, and then you can go get it."

Don't try to trick him into handing over his sword first; he's a clever tiger.

The little girl's claim that she's stupid and dumb is pure slander!

"What terms do you want to discuss?" Qiqi asked.

The tiger crossed its arms and said, "I can give you the Xuanyuan Sword first. But to prevent you from using it and then abandoning me without breaking the formation and letting me go, you must sign a contract with me before that."

"What contract?"

A pact to live and die together!

After saying that, Tiger looked at Qiqi with a smug expression.

Hmph, a life-and-death pact is a contract that links the lives of two people together.

If one of the two parties to a contract is injured or dies, the other party will also be affected.

He signed a contract stipulating that if the little girl dared to betray him after using him, he would commit suicide.

Even with a pact of sharing life and death, the little girl would die immediately!

He's lived for over a thousand years; he's had enough of living.

Moreover, if they can't get out and are locked up here, it's better to be dead.

But the little girl is different; she's only three years old and definitely hasn't lived enough yet.

Therefore, the life-and-death pact must be able to bind her!

It all depends on whether she's willing to sign with me.

Qiqi thought that the old monster who had lived for thousands of years could come up with some earth-shattering method.

So this is the method that hurts the enemy a thousand while damaging yourself eight hundred?

How stupid and dumb!

However, signing this contract is good, because this way Little Tiger will be completely bound to her, and she won't have to worry about him not helping when she goes to deal with the Chief Demon!

I was still thinking about what method I could use to get him to agree.

Unexpectedly, he jumped into the pit on his own initiative.

Qiqi was secretly delighted, but on the surface she had to pretend to be in a difficult position.

"A life-and-death pact, that sounds terrifying. I'm naive, don't try to trick me!"

The tiger grinned wickedly, feeling confident that it had the little guy under its control, and coaxed him with a smug look, "Why would I cheat you? This contract may sound scary, but it's actually good for you."

"What are the benefits?"

The tiger said, “Two people who have signed a life-and-death pact can communicate with each other’s spiritual power. That is to say, you can use my spiritual power at critical moments. Look at you, so small and weak, right? You can’t even break a small formation. But if you sign a pact with me and can use my spiritual power, I am a great demon who has cultivated for thousands of years. Let alone breaking a formation, even reshaping the order of the heavens is no problem for me.”

Qiqi: ……

boast!

It will also reshape the order of Heaven!

He only dared to speak so arrogantly because he believed that this world was independent of the rest of the world and not subject to the control of the Heavenly Dao.

A thousand years have passed, and he still can't break through the array she casually set up. This thousand-year-old demon has no real skills.

However, the spiritual energy in this world is scarce, so having the opportunity to use the spiritual power of a thousand-year-old demon would be a good safeguard.

It's worth it!

So Qiqi feigned surprise and exclaimed "Wow!" "Then I'll sign it for you, I want to sign it!"

She looked so innocent and impatient, like a naive and easily fooled sweetheart.

The tiger chuckled mischievously, "Alright, since you agree, now repeat after me."

"Okay!"

“I am Tiger Eagle…” the tiger raised his hand.

Qiqi raised her hand, mimicking his gesture, "Me, Qiqi."

"I swear to the Heavenly Dao that I am a demon."

"I swear on my integrity to the principles of Heaven."

"I am willing to form a pact with Qiqi to live and die together."

"I am willing to form a pact with Tiger Eagle to live and die together."

"From this day forward, we shall share life and death, and bear the burdens of happiness and longevity together."

"If I break this oath, may I be struck by heavenly lightning and have my soul annihilated!"
