Chapter 241 Blood Oath
A blood oath, as the name suggests, is an oath made with blood as the medium. If it is not fulfilled, the end result will be death by bleeding.
Xu Chuchu had only read about this kind of oath in books and had never tried it himself.
When Daju saw a video of a stray cat caught in the rain online, he cried and wanted her to swear to "support him for the rest of his life", but she kicked him away.
But she believed that the fox fairy would understand.
"That's fine." The fox fairy agreed readily. After all, it was a win-win for him, except that he couldn't play tricks anymore.
"I have a request to make first," Xu Chuchu said. "First, if I complete the task, you must, as you promised, cure my master's illness, improve my junior brother's fate, remove Taoist Tian's body odor, and immediately send all of us out safely."
"Okay." The fox fairy agreed.
"Second, before I come back, you must treat them well. They should be well fed, well-drinking, and well-rested. No abuse, corporal punishment, or torture should be used against them."
"Sure." The fox fairy began to get impatient. "Do you think I'm a fox who mistreats captives? Is there more? It never ends."
"Third... I need help." Xu Chuchu paused, "You know it takes me three months to absorb the seventh level of cultivation. During this time, I can only reach the fifth or sixth level of cultivation. I can't accomplish it alone."
"Well, Big Ear will go and help you." The fox fairy glanced at Uncle Big Ear, who immediately stood up and turned into a human form.
Although the human-shaped Big Ears was called uncle, he still looked like a young man. His ears were not big, but his hair was very thick, like a big hat.
Xu Chuchu has seen many monsters with strange and bizarre transformations. Because they rarely see humans, they don’t know what form to transform into.
"Not enough." She shook her head. "The palace is heavily guarded, and I don't know where Hu Shanshan is being held, so I have no idea where to start. I want Shen Zhaozhi to accompany me."
Chen Zhaozhi was obviously not a qualified teammate, but on the one hand, he knew some information about Hu Shanshan, and on the other hand, she could also hold Chen Zhaozhi hostage in turn, without worrying that the fox fairy would not let her go.
"Me?" Chen Zhaozhi immediately shook his head. "The capital is full of people chasing me. Wouldn't it be suicide if I go back now?"
"Chen Zhaozhi, that's your mother!" Xu Chuchu said angrily, "Your mother has been imprisoned, and you still have the mind to eat and sleep?"
"I..." Chen Zhaozhi looked hesitant.
In fact, he had been living like this all these years, ignoring his fox demon mother, pretending to be a pure human, and even being ashamed of his demonic bloodline...
But he now discovered that humans could no longer tolerate him, and the fox tribe seemed to be his true home.
"He can't." The fox fairy refused directly, "My white fox clan is small, and we can't let any more accidents happen."
Chen Zhaozhi sighed, not knowing whether it was regret or relief.
"I definitely won't be able to find Hu Shanshan by myself." Xu Chuchu said desperately, "I can't complete the mission, so do whatever you want."
The fox fairy didn't say anything, as if trying to figure out whether her words were true or not.
"Then, I'll allow you to choose another companion." He turned sideways to let Xu Chuchu see the imprisoned people. "This is the limit. Don't push it any further. I see traces of fighting with the imperial prefect in the capital on you. It's impossible that you have never been to the palace."
This fox fairy did have some abilities, so Xu Chuchu didn't make any more requests, so as to avoid being discovered by him.
"Pick someone." The fox fairy snapped his fingers and deliberately released everyone's gagged mouths.
In his opinion, everyone wanted to leave first and would fight for this precious spot, and maybe even get into a fight.
Such dramas are always exciting.
"Don't listen to him, Chuchu!" Daju was the first to speak.
"That's right, senior sister!" Jiji also agreed. They didn't want Xu Chuchu to take risks, but they had no idea how to get out of it.
The master then turned to the Fox Fairy and said, "Fox Fairy, I will no longer care about your inconsistency. I will let us go. I will retrieve the Cangyun Sword for you and release your physical body."
Hearing about the Cang Yun Sword, the Fox Immortal hesitated. He had truly wanted to escape, having thought about it for countless years, even to the point of believing there was no hope in his lifetime. But seeing this human woman pull out the Sky-Breaking Mirror, he couldn't help but wonder if she really had the ability to find the Cang Yun Sword.
As long as he has the Cang Yun Sword and the Po Tian Mirror in his hands, he can leave this mountain. Then, no matter whether it is a monk or a Taoist priest, no one can be his opponent!
"Finding the Cangyun Sword won't take long. My daughter's life or death is uncertain, and I can't wait that long." The fox fairy said calmly, "If you want to accompany your disciple to rescue my daughter, you can."
"The old woman can't do that! She's sick and can't use her spiritual power!" Taoist Tian interrupted, still jumping around even though he was tied up with spiritual ropes. "Little girl, choose me, choose me! I'll listen to you. I'll hit you wherever you point. Whoosh!"
Everyone: “…”
The fox fairy didn't see the drama she expected and found it quite boring.
Xu Chuchu really needs a strong assistant, but Taoist Tian is definitely not the best choice. He has no involvement with the others and will definitely run away as soon as he gets out. It is good that he does not make things worse.
As for the others... To be honest, Master and Gigi are of little help, and Daju knows nothing about the situation in the palace.
She really wanted to take her relatives with her, but reason told her that taking one away and leaving the other two behind would be of no use.
"Him." Xu Chuchu pointed at the masked man standing quietly on the side.
The latter was suddenly startled and looked around, as if he couldn't believe that Xu Chuchu would choose him.
"Okay." The fox fairy waved her hand, and the rope on the masked man disappeared.
He walked up to Xu Chuchu, but she didn't look at him.
"Everyone's here." The fox fairy looked at Xu Chuchu, the masked man, and Big Ear Uncle with satisfaction, "Any other questions?"
"Swear an oath." Xu Chuchu had no expression on her face.
"Okay." Of course the blood oath requires blood. The fox fairy returned to his physical body, cut a cut on his face, and took the blood and suspended it in his palm.
The masked man wanted to step forward but was stopped by Xu Chuchu.
She cut her palm to draw blood, and then mixed the blood of the man and the fox together.
She took a deep breath. "Without faith, there is no foundation. Without sincerity, there is no progress. If there is someone in the world, loyalty is my clothing and trust is my skirt. Today, I, Xu Chuchu, swear a blood oath with the Fox Mountain Fox Fairy to rescue my beloved daughter, Hu Shanshan, for her within three months, otherwise I will bleed to death."
"It's your turn." She looked at the fox fairy.
The fox fairy reluctantly said, "During this period, I must fulfill Xu Chuchu's requirements and promise not to harm or mistreat those vulnerable humans and cat demons. I will provide them with good food and drink. When I rescue them, I will heal their master's illness, improve their fate, and remove the old Taoist's body odor. Then, I will send them away... Is that all?"
"Send us away safely immediately." Xu Chuchu emphasized.
"...Get them out of here safely and immediately," the fox fairy said dryly. He regretted making a blood oath with the little girl, either because he was worried about the consequences or because he felt it was cheap to say such a thing.
