"Very good." Seeing that the two were quiet, Fang Xiu nodded: "It's not difficult for me to help you get out of this predicament. As long as one of you can help me break through to the sixth level, which is to become an immortal, I will agree to help that person."
Jiang Mengyue and Li Xinghe were slightly surprised. They had thought that Fang Xiu's appetite might be unusually large, but they did not expect it to be so simple. Becoming an immortal is as difficult as ascending to heaven for others, but for the two of them, who had already surpassed the immortal realm and reached the divine realm, it was not difficult at all.
“Fellow Daoist, my Void Moon Palace has an ancient well called the Void Moon Well. This well possesses incredible power. If you simply scoop up the moon from the well on the night of the full moon and swallow it, you can instantly become an immortal!”
"Boy, my Heavenly Demon Palace has a Demon Embryo in its treasury. This Demon Embryo was refined from the essence of forty-nine evil demons. As long as you consume the Demon Embryo, I guarantee you will attain immortality!"
At this moment, the two demigods were like two salesmen, constantly promoting their own products.
Jing Zhongyue, the devil fetus?
Fang Xiu frowned slightly. He knew that the immortals and gods of ancient times referred to the strange as demons, which meant that the demonic fetus was actually made from strange creatures. He had devoured countless strange creatures but had not broken through to the sixth rank. The demonic fetus might not be of much use.
The "moon in the well" was something he had never heard of before.
However, just to be on the safe side, and to prevent the Well Moon from also failing to help him break through to the sixth rank, Fang Xiu decided to try his luck on both ends.
"Given your current state, how can you possibly give me a token?"
Upon hearing Fang Xiu's agreement, the two were overjoyed.
“Fellow Daoist, I have accumulated a lot of power over the past thousand years. Although this power is not enough to break free, I can still manage to forcibly send out a token.”
"Kid, whose side are you going to take?" Li Xinghe asked warily.
Fang Xiu glanced at the two of them indifferently: "Who says you can only choose one? You two should hand over your tokens."
"No!" x2
Both of them exclaimed in surprise, clearly unwilling to accept this outcome.
Because there are too many variables, and a thousand years have passed, no one is sure if their own power is still as strong as it was back then. If two forces come to the rescue at the same time, they will inevitably fight each other. Only the victor will be rescued, and they dare not gamble.
"Oh? It seems you two haven't grasped the situation yet. It's not me begging you now, but you begging me. What I do is none of your business," Fang Xiu said calmly.
That dismissive attitude filled the two with shock and anger. When had they ever been able to be manipulated by a mere mortal who wasn't even an immortal?
But when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Usually, the higher your cultivation level, the more afraid you are of death, because only you know how much suffering you've endured on your way to such a high level of cultivation.
For a moment, the two fell silent.
Fang Xiu didn't have the patience to wait for the two demigods to have a mental struggle. For him, it was enough to know that there were things in the divine kingdom that could help people become immortals. If others didn't give them to him, he could get them in his own way. It would just take a little more effort.
Seeing that the two remained silent, he turned to leave.
"Fellow Daoist! Wait! This is my token!"
A burst of light flashed from Jiang Mengyue's ice coffin, and then the crescent-shaped jade pendant hanging from her waist, which was so delicate it could be grasped in one hand, floated in mid-air, slowly pierced through the ice coffin, and finally fell to the ground.
Li Xinghe panicked immediately. They had already given it to him. If he didn't, what if someone from the Void Moon Palace came to rescue him? Wouldn't he be doomed?
"Boy, catch!" A beam of black light pierced through the ice coffin, transforming into a white bone token that fell to the ground.
Fang Xiu gently raised his hand, and the two tokens fell into his palm.
Just then, the white bone token in his hand suddenly emitted a bright black light, whoosh!
A beam of black light shot out and struck him squarely between the eyebrows!
"Hehehe... You're just a mortal, yet you dare to bargain with me. Let me tell you the truth, there's a Soul-Seizing Curse I've planted inside. Once you're afflicted by it, you'll be forever controlled by me..."
His words were cut short before he could finish speaking.
Fang Xiu, under the influence of the Soul-Capturing Curse, showed no reaction whatsoever, even glancing at him indifferently as if he were a clown.
"I thought a demigod would bring me some surprises, but it turned out to be so boring."
Fang Xiu shook his head slightly in disappointment. The so-called Soul-Capturing Curse was shattered the moment it entered his mind by the phantoms of the various evil gods.
"What!? How is this possible! You are just a mortal, yet you can ignore my Soul-Seizing Curse!" Li Xinghe exclaimed in disbelief. When did a demigod become unable to do anything to a mere fifth-order mortal cultivator?
Jiang Mengyue was overjoyed. Li Xinghe's actions were tantamount to shooting himself in the foot. Fang Xiu would definitely not help him now, but would choose to help her instead.
“Fellow Daoist, I have said before that this demon is despicable and shameless and cannot be trusted at all. My previous promise remains unchanged, as long as you can deliver the token to the Void Moon Palace.”
Fang Xiu turned his gaze to Jiang Mengyue in the ice coffin. Although she remained motionless with her eyes closed, like a corpse, his tone revealed an uncontrollable joy. A thousand years was too long, even a demigod would find it unbearable.
"You think you've covered your tracks perfectly?" A calm question left Jiang Mengyue frozen in place.
"Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by this?"
"Your jade pendant also contains a method, but it is more subtle than Li Xinghe's. Although I don't know what the method is, the general effect should be to make me fall in love with you in a subtle way. If I am not mistaken, this jade pendant will make the wearer fall at your feet after wearing it for a few days."
Fang Xiu played with the crescent-shaped jade pendant in his hand. If Jiang Mengyue had used some other methods, he might have been able to fall for it, but Jiang Mengyue should never have desecrated love.
For someone filled with hatred, love entering their heart is like a bright light in the darkness—too conspicuous.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Jiang Mengyue tried to argue, but Li Xinghe couldn't help but burst into wild laughter: "Hehehe... What did I tell you? This bitch can't be that honest. She doesn't trust anyone. Now look what's happened. We've both offended this kid. Whoever gets out of trouble first will have to rely on their own abilities!"
“Fellow Daoist, don’t misunderstand. I’m just adding an extra layer of insurance. After all, we’ve only just met, and this little trick won’t have much of an impact on you, unlike this demon, who wants to kill you!” Jiang Mengyue explained.
"Oh? You think you can make me fall head over heels for you on our first meeting? Even after being exposed, you still try to sweet-talk me. When it comes to frankness, you're not even as good as him."
