The King of Black Fog

"The situation is turning grim," one said.

"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.

Chapter 162 Blood Oath

Different types, flavors, and nutritional values ​​of breast milk have different effects on different people.

“I have been searching for the most suitable visualization method for myself, and the Divine Fire Diagram is the goal I came to this time to travel to the past.”

"You don't even care about the mission?" Yang Qinglan asked.

"With just a smile, I have plenty of players, even natives, to help me complete the mission." Spring Emperor smiled contemptuously. "Ugly people and lowly commoners deserve to be used."

"......"

Little Radish scratched the back of his left hand with his right hand; it was a little itchy.

“The three of you are different,” the Spring Emperor said again.

She hesitated for a moment, carefully choosing her words, and then said lightly and condescendingly, "You barely look human."

The Spring Emperor seemed quite satisfied with this assessment, nodding before continuing, "Therefore, I am willing to condescend to cooperate with you."

"What kind of cooperation?" Yang Qinglan was clearly not someone who cared about appearances, because she had absolute confidence in her looks.

"After the Vulcan Gym Leader defeats Starfish, we'll join forces to kill him. Once that's done, we'll study the Divine Fire Diagram together."

"Isn't your favorite concubine supposed to be able to win the favor of those with less charm than you? The Vulcan Pavilion Master has a charm rating of 9?"

Emperor Chun smiled but said nothing.

The charm of the Vulcan Pavilion Master could not possibly be 9 points; it was a limitation imposed by the favored concubine, which is why she did not answer.

“I am also interested in the Divine Fire Diagram, but how can we ensure that we abide by the agreement?” Yang Qinglan asked again.

Chunhuang spread his hands: "After completing the mission, return to the waiting hall. The items in the shop will increase based on your personal rating. There are all sorts of things that have never been seen on Earth before, just like after breaking through the boundaries and being born, you finally start to slowly understand the world."

A bowl of blood appeared in her hand.

"You wanted a blood oath." She gave Li Changzhou a charming smile.

She extended her index and middle fingers, dipped them in blood, and smeared them on her lips, like a layer of fiery red rouge, a breathtakingly alluring color.

With blood-stained lips, Chunhuang said, "We swear an oath of blood—in this mission instance, I will not do anything to harm my allies. We will work together to kill the Lord of the Fire God Pavilion, and afterwards we will share the 'Divine Fire Diagram'."

She released the bowl from her hand, and a wisp of mist parted from her shawl, carrying the bowl in the night as it flew toward the butterfly.

The blood swayed slightly, appearing quite eerie against the backdrop of the boundless sea and night sky.

Yang Qinglan looked at Little Radish.

"Hmm?" Little Radish tilted his head, looking at her with his big, bright eyes full of confusion.

Yang Qinglan's slender shoulders slumped slightly, and she clearly sighed inwardly. She had no choice but to ask, "Is there any danger?"

"Oh!" Little Radish realized, "No, no!"

Yang Qinglan reached out and took the bowl full of blood. Li Qianxia and Li Changzhou both looked over curiously.

【Name: Thousand Gold Ox Blood】

[Type: Item]

Quality: C

[Special Effect: Can form alliances with others; those who disobey will have their blood turn gold.]

Minimum requirement for use: Living being

[Introduction: Smearing cow's blood on one's lips, forming an alliance with others according to the 'blood oath treaty' method.]

[Note: A promise is a promise! (Gold is truly valuable, so stop using this to cheat! Also, beware of life forms that can survive even if their blood turns into gold.)]

Yang Qinglan and Li Changzhou exchanged a glance, and Li Changzhou thought for a moment and nodded.

All three smeared themselves with the blood of a thousand-gold ox and swore an oath of blood with the Spring Emperor.

At the Emperor's request, Little Radish also smeared blood and took an oath.

After reciting the oath, the Spring Emperor poured out a whole bowl of ox blood, and the blood on their lips immediately disappeared, officially establishing the alliance.

The atmosphere eased a little, and the Spring Emperor even swaggered over and sat on the butterfly's back. There was nowhere for the butterfly to put its long legs, so the butterfly had to be a little more flexible.

Also, luckily she was light, otherwise the butterfly would have fallen into the sea.

"Sister Chunhuang, how many times have you traveled back to the future?" Li Qianxia asked curiously.

“Including this time, it’s four times,” Chunhuang said, yawning.

Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan observed the little radish, and only when they saw that the little radish had no reaction did they finally feel completely relieved.

Li Changzhou looked at the Spring Emperor and asked, "Now that we have the Divine Fire Diagram, what about the combat techniques?"

"You'll have to rely on yourself." Chunhuang leaned closer to him.

Li Changzhou avoided it.

"The master of the Vulcan Pavilion has an apprentice named... um... what was his name again? Never mind, he's already given me the combat techniques, how about I teach you?" Chunhuang smiled, and was about to poke Li Changzhou's abdomen with her finger again.

"Hey!" Li Qianxia grabbed her hand. "My sister-in-law is here."

Chunhuang turned around and hugged Li Qianxia, ​​biting her ear and saying, "From now on, I'm your sister-in-law. Be good, call me sister-in-law."

Li Qianxia blushed crimson, her mind reeling: "Sister-in-law..."

She jolted awake, suddenly snapping out of her daze. She rushed towards Yang Qinglan, wrapped her arms around her slender waist, and nestled her face against her chest.

"There can't be two suns in the sky, and I, Li Qianxia, ​​only have one sister-in-law, Qinglan!" She hugged Yang Qinglan tightly and declared to the white-haired celestial princess in a challenging manner.

Yang Qinglan gently hugged her.

Li Changzhou: "......"

Noticing the jealous look in his eyes, Yang Qinglan glanced at him with a smile.

Emperor Chun seemed to be deep in thought, wondering what made Li Qianxia able to break free from the influence of being a favored concubine.

"Where to next?" Little Radish, who was uninvolved, tugged at Li Changzhou's sleeve.

Ever since she called him "Mom," Li Changzhou is no longer scary, and is even the safest person now.

"Back to the Marshal's Mansion," Li Changzhou said, then asked Yang Qinglan and Li Qianxia, ​​"And you two?"

“Let’s go together,” Yang Qinglan said after thinking for a moment. “Just because the Spring Emperor can’t hurt us doesn’t mean her subordinates can’t. Let’s not separate.”

"Great! I've been wanting to stop slapping shoe soles for ages! By the way, Qinglan, what are you going to do? You've only learned half of Peking Opera!"

"The opera house was destroyed like that, and I've been gone for so long, how can I go back? But this is also an experience—learning without mastering, giving up halfway. From now on, I'll follow your brother and learn how to handle the affairs of the Marshal's Mansion."

"I'm going too! I'm homeless now, and I want to be Master Li's concubine. I'm amazing at mahjong!"

"....."
