"You...why did you give in so quickly?"
Song He's expression was hard to describe. Tiansheng Chihu had previously sent some special white-robed skeleton messengers to investigate here. Those white-robed skeleton messengers became extremely loyal to Tiansheng Chihu simply by drinking the diluted holy blood. Even if they were tortured, they refused to reveal any information about Tiansheng Chihu. When Song He expelled the holy blood from their bodies, they let out painful cries and chose to commit suicide, with their skeletons scattered all over the ground.
In comparison, Lan Zhi is simply an outlier...
Song He hoped Lan Zhi would surrender quickly, but he also hoped she would put up a symbolic resistance. However, she obeyed without a word. This made Song He feel that things were going too smoothly, so smoothly that he began to doubt his life... No, doubt his life as an animal. He stared at Lan Zhi and asked, "Are you pretending to submit to me on the surface, but actually loyal to Tiansheng Chihu in your heart?"
Lan Zhi said: "No, why do you think so? Hasn't my body been branded by you?"
Song He said, "The brand can only control your life and death. It's a means of intimidation, but it can't monitor your inner thoughts. If you betray me, I can use the power of the brand to kill you remotely. But if you're fearless and would rather die than pass on the message to Tiansheng Chihu, I can't do anything to you..."
Lan Zhi said, "Don't worry, I'm very afraid of death and I won't throw my life away for the sake of Tiansheng Red Lake."
A drop of "holy blood" hovered in Song He's palm. This drop of blood had just been separated from Lan Zhi's soul. Song He looked at the drop of blood, then at Lan Zhi, and said thoughtfully, "You are indeed different from those skeleton messengers. They regard this polluted blood as the driving force for survival. Once they lose this polluted blood, their spirits will completely collapse and their hearts will be ashen. But you...you behave so normally."
Lan Zhi said, "I've been Tiansheng Chihu's subordinate for less than a day. How could I possibly be loyal to him in such a short time?"
"Less than a day?" Song He suddenly realized. "I understand. He gave you a drop of filthy blood and sent you here. If you can send him a message, then he will profit. If you die here, he won't lose anything either, after all, you are his new recruit."
Lan Zhi nodded, "Yeah."
Song He shook his head, "No, if he really doesn't value you, why not give you a drop of diluted blood? Why give you a drop of whole blood?"
Lan Zhi said, "Can we stop dwelling on this?"
This ferocious beast is too serious.
"Alright." Song He put aside his doubts for the moment and said, "Then take me to find the same kind now."
"I don't know the way and can't tell the direction."
"Didn't you have a map in your hand before? Take it out and let me see it."
"Okay." Lan Zhi took out the map, pointed to one of the villages, and said, "Your kind lives here."
No way.
The village Lanzhi was referring to was not where she lived at all.
As for the mark Songhe left on her?
The so-called brand is to inject a magic mark into Lan Zhi's body. This mark can burst out with powerful force at the critical moment, causing Lan Zhi's body to explode from the inside out. However, as soon as the mark enters the body, it is noticed by the Lan Shenhua. The Lan Shenhua has two forms, one is a thin leaf state, and the other is transformed into a book "Poison Spirit Sutra".
Lan Shenhua originally wanted to get rid of the invading "brand" directly, but was stopped by Lan Zhi, because once the brand disappeared, Song He would notice it, so Lan Shenhua transformed into the "Poison Spirit Sutra" and used the brand as a bookmark, directly inserting it into the pages of the book.
The brand wants to explode?
It’s a nice thought.
It will never explode in this lifetime.
"This map is quite detailed..." Song He had a photographic memory. After just two glances, he memorized the entire map. He returned the map to Lan Zhi and said, "I'm familiar with the directions, but..."
Lan Zhi asked: "Just what?"
Song He turned to look at her and said, "Can you be sure that this map is real? Maybe Tiansheng Chihu deliberately sent a fake map to lure me into a trap..."
Lan Zhi: “…”
You are so cautious!
She held her forehead weakly and said, "Anyway, this is the map that Tiansheng Chihu gave me. I'm not sure if it's true or not. He said the villagers here have lost contact with him, so he sent me here to investigate."
Song He listened, thought for a moment, then raised his head slightly and said proudly: "I am the strongest in the world. No matter what conspiracy he has, I am not afraid of him!"
Lan Zhi: “…”
Since you are not afraid, why are you asking so many nonsense questions!
Lan Zhi sighed tiredly and said, "Your Excellency is so powerful, you are the most powerful..."
"Shut up, your voice is so weak. It doesn't sound like you are here to cheer me up, but rather like you are attending my funeral." Song He said with disgust. He snapped his fingers, and the "mountain" under his feet began to shake. Lan Zhi hurriedly held onto a tree next to her, but Song He grabbed her wrist and lifted her up from the ground.
Lan Zhi's feet were suspended in the air. She looked down and saw that the "mountain" was shrinking rapidly and eventually turned into a turtle with flowers, plants and trees growing on its back...?
It turned out that she was standing on the back of a turtle!
The turtle had a pair of green eyes. It shrank to half the size of a human, and then transformed into a child of five or six years old.
The child's face was a little chubby and very cute, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. His pupils were blue-green, and he looked refreshing and bright. He blinked his eyes, and when he smiled, there were two sweet dimples on his face, which was very healing and did not look like a ferocious beast at all.
Song He brought Lan Zhi to the ground and introduced her, "This is my brother, Song Zirui, the Rui of wisdom. From now on, you will address him as sir."
"Yes, sir."
It's just a name, and calling it a few more times won't make you lose any meat. Lan Zhi lowered her head and showed a friendly smile to the ferocious little boy. Maybe it was because she had given birth to a child in her previous life, Lan Zhi's eyes were filled with some tenderness and love, because she thought of her daughter.
Song Zirui had originally looked proud, but when he met Lan Zhi's gaze, he couldn't help but be stunned. No one had ever looked at him with such eyes before. He didn't understand what Lan Zhi's eyes meant, and it always felt a little strange. He turned his head away from Lan Zhi's sight in embarrassment and asked, "Brother, who is this person?"
"My new subordinate is named..."
What’s your name?
Song He then realized that he didn't know Lan Zhi's name.
Lan Zhi replied at the right moment: "My name is Zhu Tianmiao."
Song Zirui said, "Zhu? Your last name is Zhu, and ours is Song. We're both plants, so we have a connection."
