Chapter 24 Birdcage



Upon entering the cave, Li Molin first glanced at Sheng Yang. Seeing Sheng Yang nod, he immediately felt relieved.

Walking slowly to the front of the six-tailed white fox Yingmo, Li Molin bowed his head and called out, "Senior."

Yingmo looked up at him and said in a deep voice, "Young Master Li, I agree to what you said on behalf of the entire Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, but the 'Chi You Blood Oath'..."

Li Molin took out a jade bottle, uncorked it, and handed it over, saying, "This is the blood of Chi You, the great god and ancestor of my demon race. Please examine it, senior."

As soon as the jade bottle was opened, the cave was instantly enveloped in a thick, pungent smell of blood. The smell carried an overwhelming aura of dominance and ferocity. Even a single drop of blood possessed such power; Yingmo knew without even looking that it was indeed the blood of the demon god Chiyou. She nodded faintly and remained silent.

Li Molin drew the short sword from his waist, and without even flinching, cut a two-inch-long gash in his palm. He poured a drop of blood from the jade bottle onto the wound, which immediately mingled with his own. He clenched his fist, and the blood seeped out, quickly staining his fingertips red. Then, he raised his fist above his head, his expression solemn, and said in a deep voice, "This unfilial junior, Li Molin, swears a blood oath with the blood of my ancestor, the great god Chi You!"

"Today, my Demon Clan has formed an alliance with the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. In the future, we will jointly plot against the Central Plains. After the success, we will treat the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan as brothers and live in peace. There will never be any harm or expulsion!"

Yingmo looked up and remained silent for a moment before saying, "Alright. If there are any requests in the future, please just let me know, Young Master."

Li Molin nodded and said, "Thank you, senior."

Liuli, who was standing to the side, had her eyes darting around. As soon as she saw that Li Molin and Yingmo had reached an agreement, she hurriedly ran over, took out a white handkerchief from her bosom, and said with a smile, "Come on, Li Molin, let me bandage your wound. Look at you, you've bled so much..."

Li Molin was taken aback. Looking down into her bright eyes, he understood what she was up to and found it extremely amusing. He suppressed his laughter and extended his hand to her.

Liuli gently wiped the blood off his hands and carefully bandaged the wound with a handkerchief. As she did this, she kept giving Li Molin meaningful glances.

Li Molin couldn't help but almost burst out laughing, but he managed to hold it in and coughed a few times to cover his laughter.

Sakura, standing to the side, stared intently at Ruri, her face full of confusion.

Liuli raised her head and gave Li Molin a wink, then took a few steps back and stood there obediently.

Li Molin glanced at her with a smile in his eyes, then looked at Yingmo, bowed slightly, and said in a low voice, "Senior, now that we have formed an alliance today, shouldn't your noble family send one of its members to accompany me so that we can keep in touch at all times?"

Yingmo quickly understood. Her voice turned cold as she said, "Young Master, you are overthinking it. There is no need for my clansmen to follow you. If you need anything, you only need to send someone to let me know."

Li Molin shook his head and said, "Senior, I still think it would be more convenient to have a member of the fox clan by my side. Besides, that way, you would know our whereabouts, wouldn't you?"

Yingmo's eyes flickered, but after a moment's hesitation, she still shook her head and insisted, "No need. Since Young Master has made the 'Chi You Blood Oath,' I will wholeheartedly believe in Young Master."

Liuli was extremely anxious listening to this, her neck unconsciously craning, and her expression almost breaking down.

Li Molin's eyes darkened. He put his hands behind his back, his expression becoming lighter and calmer. He said indifferently, "Senior always says that we demons can ask for anything we need. But we just formed an alliance, and you didn't even agree to my first request. So if I have another request, should I ask it or not?"

Yingmo turned and exchanged a glance with Shengyang, who nodded slightly. She then turned to look at Liuli, who was looking at her with excitement. As soon as Liuli saw her looking over, she hurriedly looked away and darted off to look elsewhere.

Sakura sighed and shook her head. How could she not know that Liuli was restless and longed for the outside world? Her heart had probably already flown away. She pondered for a long time. If Liuli were kept confined like this, she might sneak away one day, which would be worse. Today's events might be a good opportunity. Although she was reluctant and worried, she had no choice but to let Liuli go. Liuli was like a bird; her life belonged to the sky, to the vast world, and certainly not to a small birdcage.
