You should know that she had previously used the "Half-Life Bond" technique, which gave him at least seven or eight hundred years of life. In addition, cultivators' lifespans are generally longer than those of ordinary people, so living for a thousand years is really a piece of cake.
The thought that she had given half her life, only for Zu'an to die because of another woman, made Qiao Xueying feel incredibly cheated.
"A thousand years old?" Chu Chuyan was somewhat surprised, not understanding why Xue'er said that. With Zu An's current cultivation level, he was still far from living to a thousand years old.
Mi Li snorted, "Even if he lives for two thousand or five thousand years, let alone a thousand, I'd still be at a huge loss."
Qiao Xueying and Chu Chuyan fell silent, knowing that what she said was true. After all, she had been living in this dark underground palace for who knows how long.
Zu'an couldn't help but ask, "Empress, how old are you now?"
"Why are you asking this?" Mi Li rolled her eyes at him. "Don't you know it's very impolite to ask a woman's age casually?"
Zu'an replied, "I have no doubt that you can live for 18,000 or 10,000 years, but you have already lived in the underground palace for thousands of years. What if you have already entered your twilight years? Wouldn't it be a huge loss for me to live and die with you?"
Mi Li: "..."
Anger from Mi Li +777!
Qiao Xueying chuckled to herself. She used to find him infuriating when he angered her, but now she found it so satisfying to watch him anger other people.
"You brat, you're testing my patience!" Mi Li's eyelids twitched as she gritted her teeth and said.
Zuan quickly tried to calm her down: "Alright, I promise you, we'll be bound together in life and death."
Qiao Xueying and Chu Chuyan immediately panicked: "Grandpa, no..."
Zuan stopped them from continuing: "Don't worry, I'm not really at a disadvantage by signing this. The current situation needs to be resolved; this stalemate can't go on."
Qiao Xueying and Chu Chuyan hesitated for a moment, knowing that this was the truth, and didn't say anything more.
Only Zuan himself knew that he had completely fooled Mi Li, so signing the soul contract of sharing life and death was the best course of action.
But he was worried that being too proactive would arouse suspicion, so he deliberately rambled on for a while, and now it seems that it worked well.
"How exactly do we sign this 'treaty of life and death'?" Zu'an asked.
At this moment, the face of Mi Li suddenly appeared on Chu Chuyan's face. She stretched out her hand and said, "Give me a drop of essence blood."
"Semen?" Zuan looked embarrassed. "Isn't that a bit inappropriate, taking off my pants in front of you..."
Qiao Xueying: "..."
Chu Chuyan: "..."
Mi Li: "..."
"What filthy thoughts are running through your head!" Mi Li couldn't help but roar. "Your essence is the source of your life, different from ordinary blood, and certainly not what you're thinking!"
Anger from Mi Li +517!
Zuan chuckled awkwardly, embarrassed. He had misunderstood; he had clearly used that thing he imagined to heal Chu Chuyan's vital energy.
Mi Li was too lazy to waste words with him, so she directly poked his forehead with her index fingernail and picked out a drop of blood that was much thicker and brighter than ordinary blood.
Chu Chuyan was shocked and was about to stop her, but Mi Li had already stopped: "Don't worry, I won't hurt your man."
Zuan immediately felt a wave of weakness and powerlessness wash over him, even more exhausted than when he had suffered a serious injury before. It seems that essence blood is indeed extremely precious.
Mi Li snorted coldly: "You stick out your finger too, and draw along with me."
Qiao Xueying, who was standing nearby, warned, "Be careful!"
Chu Chuyan also said, "If you notice anything unusual, stab me to death with your sword immediately."
Zuan smiled slightly: "Don't worry, she can't kill me."
With the help of the rich woman's happy ball, he really wasn't afraid of this woman.
"You do have a strange kind of confidence," Mi Li snorted, clearly quite displeased.
Zu An didn't say anything more, but reached out and touched the other person's fingers. The cool touch was extremely comfortable. For a moment, he was a little dazed. Was this more comfortable with Chu Chuyan or with Mi Li?
"Calm down!" Mi Li frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable with the other person's expression. "Slowly follow along with me as I draw."
Zuan hummed in agreement, then, without further delay, connected his fingers with hers and, using that drop of blood as ink, drew an intricate pattern in mid-air.
Once the pattern was complete, it emitted a burst of golden light, which then landed on the foreheads of the two people before disappearing from sight.
Zuan blinked. In that instant, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity with Mi Li, and at the same time, he was certain that she hadn't lied before; this contract could indeed allow the two of them to live and die together.
This confirmation is not based on any language or writing system, but on an understanding of the rules of nature.
Zuan suddenly remembered a serious problem: "What will you do after you come out of my wife's body?"
Previously, he couldn't wait for Mi Li to come out of Chu Chuyan's body, but now that their fates are closely intertwined, he is worried that if Mi Li comes out, her soul will be scattered and he will also die, and then he will have nowhere to cry.
