Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Want to make a blood contract (two chapters in one)...
Lu Rong turned to look at Zhou Li, stretched out his hand and tugged at his sleeve: "Look."
Zhou Li followed her gaze and saw the small birthmark on the newborn baby's heart.
His gaze faltered slightly as he took a step closer. Aunt Lin was holding a child. Seeing Zhou Li's gaze fixed on the child, she smiled and moved closer while holding the child. "This child is so beautiful."
Zhou Li's fingertips touched the clear scales on the child's chest, which perfectly matched his own chest.
He withdrew his hand, frowning. What was going on?
Lu Rong was a little confused for a moment, thinking, could this child be Zhou Li?
But Zhou Li is only twenty years old now.
This illusion is the Nan'an City three hundred years ago, which does not match Zhou Li's age.
But the birthmark on this child’s chest is indeed the same as the one on Zhou Li.
"What's wrong with Mr. Zhou's child?" Aunt Lin saw Zhou Li staring at the child and felt a little worried.
Zhou Li touched the child's eyebrows with his fingertips, trying to find out whether there was any demonic fire or divine power in his body.
Perhaps the baby was just born and too fragile to be discovered for a while.
"Nothing." He withdrew his hand and looked at Madam Shen again. He did not see any similarities between his eyebrows and hers.
Things started to get weird.
Zhou Li put his hand on Madam Shen's pulse and felt the remaining divine power in her body.
It was very faint, just like what he had felt before in the statue of the goddess.
It seemed like something unexpected would happen soon. Zhou Li took back the silver needle and gave the maid a bottle of elixir: "Feed one every three hours."
After Zhou Li finished speaking, he took Lu Rong out without even looking at the child.
After leaving Madam Shen's residence, Lu Rong couldn't hold back any longer and asked in confusion, "Zhou Li, could that child just now be your father?"
Zhou Li was also thinking about this matter. He thought that the child might be him.
Three hundred years ago, perhaps due to some changes, he was taken away and drifted to the demon world and became the emperor. Later, he destroyed his own body and turned into Little Zhou Li, who was taken back to Xuanyang Sect by Lu Wen.
This also explains why he can practice swordsmanship in his demonic body.
He can even practice the purification technique that Lu Fang mentioned.
The art of purification comes from the power of heaven and earth. How can ordinary people borrow power from heaven and earth? Only God can do it.
But he did not find the existence of divine bones in his body, and he could not even feel any divine power.
Even though Zhou Li was smart, he couldn't figure out the whole picture without knowing the previous cause.
"Maybe that child was you. If it was you, you were so ugly and wrinkled when you were born."
"You were also wrinkled when you were born." Zhou Li responded.
Lu Rong: "How do you know what I looked like when I was born?"
"You showed it to me." Zhou Li said, seeing that she didn't believe him, and added, "When you were six years old, you secretly drank with Qiu Ling and forced me to see your childhood. I refused to see it, and you even pried my eyelids open for me to see."
Lu Rong: “……?” No, how could he remember so clearly every embarrassing thing she did at every age!
Lu Rong slapped his mouth and said, "Okay, stop talking."
Zhou Li's tall nose was pressed against her palm, and his lips seemed to touch her palm accidentally. Lu Rong shuddered and quickly withdrew her hand, saying fiercely, "Forget it!"
Zhou Li was really amused by her and pinched her head with his big palm. Lu Rong shook her head to avoid his hand.
She tilted her head slightly to look at him, her eyes dark and bright, hiding her displeasure: "What a joke! Aren't you afraid that this might be related to you?"
"So what if it has something to do with me? This happened three hundred years ago." Zhou Li's words made Lu Rong react a little.
"Okay." Lu Rong curled his lips. This was just an illusion. No matter how powerful Zhou Li was, he couldn't change what happened three hundred years ago.
But does the scale pattern also indicate that there is a different relationship between the goddess and Zhou Li?
Lu Rong began to think wildly, could it be that Zhou Li was a god who came to the mortal world to experience trials and tribulations?
No, he is a giant snake demon with a tail.
Lu Rong thought about the temperature of Zhou Li's tail when she and he were practicing spiritual cultivation. It was like it had been soaked in ice water, and it felt very comfortable against her hot skin.
As Zhou Li walked, the scene of his black tail wrapped around her waist popped up in his mind, and his ears turned slightly red.
Why does she always have to reminisce after every intimacy?
Zhou Li felt that her habit was really... very lewd.
Lu Rong followed Zhou Li out, thinking they would go straight back, but Zhou Li took her somewhere else.
"Where are we going?" Lu Rong asked in a low voice.
"Just now when Madam Shen gave birth, a force entered her belly from outside." Zhou Li followed the breath to find this place.
"Is there anyone who wants to harm Madam Shen?" Lu Rong followed him. This area was a rockery. Zhou Li walked in front, and Lu Rong walked slowly behind.
Looking around, I found that this rockery was very hidden and suitable for an affair.
Zhou Li almost slipped on a stone when he heard her mumbling in her heart.
Bing Li appeared out of nowhere and flew directly in front of Zhou Li and said, "Master, I didn't catch up with that man."
Zhou Li was lost in thought. Bing Lie hadn't found the person yet. He asked again, "Is he a human or a demon?"
"It's a human." Bing Lie was probably a little depressed because it was the first time he failed to complete the task.
Zhou Li was wondering who it could be and didn't notice the changes in the ice cracks, but Lu Rong noticed it.
She reached out and touched Bingzha's sword, and comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay. Bingzha is still very powerful."
Bing Lie was a child at heart. When coaxed by Lu Rong, he immediately rubbed against Lu Rong's body like a spoiled child and rubbed her face with the hilt of his sword.
Zhou Li's breathing slowed down, and he looked back at Bing Lie who was leaning on Lu Rong's arms. He pursed his lips tightly and wanted to ask Bing Lie to come back, but seeing that Lu Rong didn't want to let go, he shut up.
Just a reminder: "The ice cracks are very sharp, don't touch them."
Lu Rong: “?” After spiritual practice, I am not qualified to touch ice cracks anymore. It was not like this before!
She narrowed her eyes slightly and just touched and touched.
Lu Rong wished he could rub the sword until the skin was peeling off.
Zhou Li enjoyed the ice cracking very much, and clenched his hands tightly. After coming down from the rockery, his back was completely soaked with sweat.
Lu Rong, still recklessly leaning forward, looked at his sweaty neck in confusion, reaching out to touch it: "Are you hot? Why are you sweating so much?"
Zhou Li's skin trembled, a fire was pent up in his heart, and his dark eyes stared at her.
Lu Rong's heart skipped a beat. Why did he have the illusion that he wanted to fire him?
Sure enough, the next moment she heard Zhou Li's voice.
【I really want to kill her right now.】
Frightened, Lu Rong turned pale and hurriedly ran away with Bing Lie in his arms: "I have to pee urgently, I'm leaving now!"
Zhou Li curled the corners of his lips, what a little coward.
He looked at the entire Shen Mansion and knew in his heart that the goddess had been set up.
The person who set up the scheme might want the divine bones from the goddess, so he just searched the bodies of Madam Shen and the child.
It was discovered that half of the divine bone was in that child.
The person who set up the game probably knew this a long time ago, so he trapped Madam Shen in this formation, waiting for the birth of the child.
That person will appear again.
Zhou Li walked out of the Chen residence and saw a stall selling tofu pudding on the way back, so he bought some.
Lu Rong returned to the courtyard first and found that Qiu Ling and Xue Er were not there. She looked around both rooms.
Finally, I sat on the steps at the door, propped up my chin and looked at the sky. It was a summer evening, and the dusk was all warm orange tones. The golden sunset spread out like steam rising from the sky.
Lu Rong wiped the sweat from his forehead: "It's so hot."
She almost ran back just now.
Bingchuang was a sensible sword, and it immediately emitted cold air that enveloped Lu Rong.
"Is it still hot like this?" Binglie asked obediently.
The coolness enveloped her, and the air around her became cooler, which was very comfortable.
"Ice Crack, you have this function as well." Lu Rong was a little surprised.
Bingzhe straightened his sword proudly: "I can do a lot."
"Then let me see what you look like in human form?" Lu Rong had never seen Bing Lie in human form.
Generally speaking, sword spirits can transform into human form, but they will only appear in front of their masters.
Binglie thought about his master's unconditional indulgence of Lu Rong, and without any hesitation he turned into a human form.
Lu Rong looked at the smaller version of Zhou Li standing in front of him.
After a long pause, he said, "You look exactly like Zhou Li."
"I am originally a part of the master, so I am naturally the same as him." Bing Lie said, then put his hands on his hips and said proudly, "What's more, the master and I have empathy."
Bing Lie's words made Lu Rong realize that something was wrong: "What?"
Synesthesia?
Lu Rong asked uncertainly, "Is it the kind of synaesthesia where Zhou Li can feel me touching you?"
“That’s right!”
Lu Rong thought about how he had touched the Binglie sword just now, and then about Zhou Li's red neck soaked in sweat.
So...it was equivalent to him touching Zhou Li as well.
Lu Rong coughed lightly and asked in a desperate attempt, "It doesn't matter to Zhou Li if I touch different parts of you, right?"
"Of course it's different."
Lu Rong froze. Doesn't that mean...
She pressed her head to stop herself from thinking further, but her brain couldn't help but fill in all the images.
So... I was shivering again without realizing it!
Lu Rong held her forehead with her hand, feeling somewhat self-deprecating. It was difficult to be an innocent girl in a restricted novel.
[The host has completed three main missions, and the system has been repaired to 99.9%.]
[After the system is fully repaired, you can see all the plots. ]
[Does it need to speed up the repair process? ]
Lu Rong thought that if he could see all the plots, he would know everything that happened here and also know whether the child was Zhou Li.
"Yes." Lu Rong responded in his heart.
[Complete main storyline mission 4: Form a blood pact with the male protagonist.]
"Form a blood pact?" What is this?
Lu Rong had never heard of it, but judging by the literal meaning, it was a task that could be completed without close contact.
The system also provides an answer.
[The Black Snake Clan's blood pact can heal wounds, empathize, and even test loyalty. This requires spiritual power coordination to form the pact.]
Lu Rong thought, this is nothing, it should be very simple.
It is much easier than seducing Zhou Li into arousal and teaching him dual cultivation.
You only have two days.
"I guarantee it'll be no problem." Lu Rong thought that Zhou Li had always been responsive to her requests during this period.
Zhou Li should agree readily to a small blood contract.
As soon as she accepted the task, the countdown began. Lu Rong raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Li who was walking in with something in his hand.
I didn't move, just watched him walk in under the setting sun. His face was stunningly handsome even in the backlight.
"What are you squatting for?" Zhou Li walked closer, saw her squatting on the ground, and looked down at her condescendingly.
This is a small habit of Lu Rong. He doesn't like to sit. Just now, he unconsciously changed from sitting to squatting.
"Wait for Qiu Ling and the others to come back." Lu Rong lied. She was just thinking about Zhou Li. After she finished speaking, her nose moved and she smelled the fragrance of tofu pudding. She looked at the pottery jar in his hand with shining eyes.
"What did you buy?" Lu Rong wanted to stand up, but her feet were numb from squatting for so long. When she stood up, they felt like ants gnawing at her feet. She bent her body with difficulty and said, "My legs are numb."
She supported herself on Zhou Li's arm and tried to stand up, but the next moment she felt suddenly suspended in the air.
Zhou Li picked her up with one hand, and Lu Rong subconsciously hugged his shoulders and was taken directly back into the house.
Lu Rong: “?” His arm strength is so strong?
He put the person with numb legs on the edge of the table, squatted down and skillfully pinched her legs twice, and the numbness in her legs immediately healed.
"Still numb?" Zhou Li looked up at her.
Lu Rong shook his head and muttered, "It's not numb anymore."
Zhou Li then stood up and placed the tofu pudding he had bought in front of her: "Drink it."
Lu Rong looked at the clay pot he placed in front of her and could already smell the fragrance of tofu pudding.
She couldn't wait to open the clay pot and see the white and tender tofu pudding inside.
The pottery jar was still cold.
"Where did you buy it?" Lu Rong was a little surprised.
Zhou Li: “I bought it on the way.”
Lu Rong looked at him suspiciously, wondering if he was the Saint of Tofu Pudding? He could always buy tofu pudding on the way.
She didn't see any tofu pudding stall on her way back just now.
Zhou Li saw her looking at him and asked, "Don't you want to eat?"
"Eat!" She hugged the pottery jar in her arms, causing the ice to crack, and left some for Qiu Ling and Xue Er.
It was originally intended for Zhou Li, but he just sat on the bed, closed his eyes and stopped talking.
"Are you practicing or healing?" Lu Rong asked in a low voice.
Zhou Li: "Healing."
Although Ling Xiu suppressed the rampant demonic fire in his body, the two forces were still conflicting in his body, and he needed to calm down.
Lu Rong didn't expect that his injury had not healed yet, and he didn't care about eating: "I will heal you."
Binglie was tactful enough to go out and close the door.
Lu Rong sat down next to him and lowered her head to touch his forehead. Zhou Li stretched out a finger and pressed it against her forehead: "What do you want to do?"
"Spiritual practice to heal." Lu Rong blinked, as if she didn't react to his refusal.
When Zhou Li saw her like this, a rare smile appeared in his eyes.
He knew that her words about not wanting to be kissed or hugged were all lies.
However, spiritual practice is quite energy-consuming. Lu Rong's spiritual sea is already sealed. If she practices again, she won't be able to wake up tomorrow.
"No, I can do it myself," he refused.
"Oh." Lu Rong looked at him eagerly, looking a little disappointed that she couldn't help.
But in his mind, he was thinking about how to bring about the blood contract.
Lu Rong looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Finally, she sighed deeply: "Zhou Li, I really can't help you with anything."
She pretended to be pitiful. Zhou Li knew her temper and knew that she was showing weakness on purpose to cause trouble.
"Besides, this place is so dangerous. If something happens, I won't be able to save you." She bit her lip, and her bright eyes looked at people, which would make people feel confused.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Zhou Li whispered comfortingly.
"Just in case, can I..." She tugged at his sleeve with her fingers. Thinking that repairing the system would reveal the entire plot, she steeled her heart and deliberately moved a little closer, wanting him to see the sincerity in her eyes. "I'll make a blood pact with you."
Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, he even suspected that he had heard it wrong.
He saw the temptation in her eyes, tightened his grip slightly, and his eyes became deep.
Does she...know what a blood pact is?
Lu Rong saw Zhou Li looking at her and her heart was beating fast. What did this look mean?
"Do you know what a blood contract is?" Zhou Li asked back.
"I know." It's just a loyalty contract.
Zhou Li looked at her clear eyes and knew that she was not clear. Is it because she has a new mission again?
"Who told you about the blood contract?" Zhou Li asked tentatively. The blood contract is a contract unique to the Black Snake clan.
Once a contract is signed, it is lifelong. Even if one party dies, the contract will not be invalidated.
"I saw it myself." Lu Rong was a little nervous, "Just tell me if it's okay or not."
"No." Zhou Li refused without hesitation.
Lu Rong probably didn't expect Zhou Li to reject her for such a simple contract. Just as she was about to ask why, Zhou Li shouted, "Bing Lie, take her out."
Lu Rong: “???” He’s even chasing people away!
Lu Rong kicked him angrily: "Love or not!"
After saying that, he left angrily, and slammed the door twice when he closed it, as if he wanted to rip the roof off.
Zhou Li opened her eyes and looked at the closed door. Lu Rong had no idea what the blood contract meant to her.
However, he knew that in order for the Black Snake Clan to form a blood pact, they needed to have intercourse for seven days, and wait until the essence and blood completely permeated her body before a blood pact could be formed, and it might not be possible to form a blood pact in one go.
*
Lu Rong was angry.
She was very angry and decided not to care about Zhou Li's life or death anymore.
When Xue'er came back, she saw Lu Rong sitting at the table in the small room, drawing furiously.
When she leaned over to take a look, she saw Lu Rong drawing countless small portraits of Zhou Li with bruised faces and noses.
"Rongrong, what are you doing?" Xue'er patted her shoulder, startling Lu Rong who was immersed in her art.
"When did you come back? Where have you been?" Lu Rong put away all the drawings.
"Qiu Ling and I took a stroll outside the Shen residence, then went out for dinner and came back. Qiu Ling wanted to walk around a bit longer, so I came back first." Xue Er sat beside her and asked with concern, "Rong Rong, are you and Jian Zun angry?"
"He rejected me!" Lu Rong said angrily.
"Refuse to practice dual cultivation with you?" A little gossip appeared in Xue Er's eyes.
"No," Lu Rong propped up his chin, "I just want to make a blood pact with him. Xue Er, do you know about blood pacts?"
"Blood contract?" Xue Er pondered for a moment, somewhat uncertain. "I seem to remember something about the blood contract. It's said to be a contract unique to the Black Snake Clan. It's a contract of eternal life, and once formed, it cannot be undone."
No wonder Zhou Li was unwilling to sign a blood pact. Was he worried that it would be impossible to cancel it once it was signed?
Zhou Li's thoughts were unclear, and Lu Rong himself was a little discouraged when he heard that it could not be eliminated.
The anger in my heart gradually subsided.
Isn't this the same as a marriage contract?
At least a marriage contract can be dissolved due to a breakdown in the relationship.
This task is not easy at all.
Lu Rong buried his face in his arms, asking himself what would happen if the system wasn't completed.
[It's the same. If you don't complete the task, you will go into heat.]
Lu Rong gritted his teeth and decided to ignore him for the time being and take a look at what was happening on Madam Shen’s side.
Since this is an illusion, and Madam Shen is a goddess, the way out of the illusion must lie with Madam Shen.
"Xue'er, let's go to Chen's house." Lu Rong thought about getting out of the illusion first, dealing with the goddess, and then dealing with Zhou Li.
Xue Er followed Lu Rong out directly.
The two arrived at Shen's house and met the sneaky Qiu Ling.
"Why are you here?" Qiu Ling asked.
"Let's see how to get out of the illusion. How is Madam Shen now?" Lu Rong asked in a low voice.
"I didn't go in." Qiu Ling just strolled outside. "I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get out. It's like a maze in there."
Lu Rong: “…”
"I'll take you in." Lu Rong thought it was very simple when he and Zhou Li went in together.
But when she brought Qiu Ling in, she found that something was wrong; the road had changed.
"There is an illusion here. The Sword Master may have directly removed the illusion. The road you saw when you were with him is different from the one you see now." Qiu Ling explained. Lu Rong frowned and was thinking about what to do.
The sword on her body flew out directly, pointed the hilt, and then moved forward.
"It's showing us the way." Lu Rong hurriedly pulled Qiu Ling forward.
Zhou Li, who was hiding in the dark, looked at Lu Rong who was rushing forward stealthily with his men, his eyes slightly curved with a hint of helplessness.
"Master, why don't you just take them in."
"They have their own business, and I have mine." Everything here is under his control, and Lu Rong can do whatever he wants.
And what he was waiting for was the person who set up the game.
Lu Rong brought Qiu Ling and Xue Er to the door of Madam Shen's room.
A few maids occasionally came in and out. The room was quiet at first, but then the sound of a baby crying could be heard, followed by the woman's gentle coaxing: "Be good, baby, don't cry, don't cry."
The child was also very sensible and stopped crying immediately.
"Miss, the young master is really handsome." The voice of the little maid came.
Lu Rong no longer had Baili Dun to hide her aura, so she could only rely on her own spiritual power. She leaned against the half-open window near the bed and looked inside.
Seeing Madam Shen holding the baby in her arms, she reached out and gently stroked the child's eyebrows and eyes: "He is a handsome little boy, carved from the same mold as Congshan."
"Miss, would you like to give the young master a name?"
"Let's get it when we come back from the mountain." Madam Shen said with a smile on her lips, "Give it a good name."
"Rongrong, who is Congshan?" Qiu Ling sent her a message.
“It should be Madam Shen’s husband.”
"Didn't they say her husband treats her badly? Why is she still looking forward to her husband's return?"
This is also what Lu Rong is very curious about. Madam Shen is a goddess, and Aunt Lin knows that her husband is not a good person. How could she not know?
Is there any other hidden secret?
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew outside, blowing out the lanterns hanging on the eaves, and the entire Shen house fell into a strange darkness.
Madam Shen looked around. After giving birth, the divine power in her body had become so weak that it could be ignored.
I had a bad feeling in my heart: "Close all the doors and windows."
As she finished speaking, the tightly closed door was blown open by the strong wind, and the candlelight in the room suddenly went out.
Lu Rong and Qiu Ling both felt that something was wrong and that something was going to happen. Sure enough, lightning suddenly flashed outside. The faint light shone into the dark room, illuminating the thin figure of Mrs. Shen, and a tall man appeared opposite her at some point.
Lu Rong saw the man's face and found that he looked exactly like Zhou Li.
"You're back from the mountain." Madam Shen didn't seem to find the situation weird at all. Instead, she was immersed in the joy of her husband who had not returned for many days and suddenly returned. She ran over and hugged the man directly.
“I knew you would come back since we got to the mountain.” Madam Shen cried with joy.
There were lightning and thunder outside. The light in the house flickered, shining on the two people. The baby in the cradle was frightened by the thunder and started crying.
Lu Rong was frightened to death, everything was so weird.
Perhaps it was the crying of the child that brought Madam Shen back to her senses from her joy: “Our child is born, he looks like you, come and see him.”
Madam Shen said as she pulled the man to the bedside and picked up the child to give it to him.
"This child is so beautiful." The man chuckled and said the first sentence, "It's a pity that she is going to die."
He said with a smile, and then pinched Madam Shen’s neck directly with one palm: “I will die with you.”
