"Oh?" Shen Zhizhi closed her eyes obediently, and felt something soft under her lips. She thought that Bai Yu had done something important, so she pecked her lips lightly. Just as she was about to open her eyes, Bai Yu discovered her and stopped her.
"Don't open your eyes, you can't open them!"
Shen Zhizhi said "oh".
Then there was a rustling sound and Bai Yu's muffled groan.
There was a cold, sharp weapon in my palm, which felt like a dagger.
Bai Yu said, "Okay."
Chen Zhizhi opened her eyes and looked down. It was a dark red dagger with incomprehensible dark patterns on the handle. It looked quite delicate.
In the beast world, even the City of Ten Thousand Beasts did not have the technology and development to cast iron. She was curious about where Bai Yu got it from.
Bai Yu's face was pale. Shen Zhizhi looked up puzzledly and helped him sit down, curiously, "What's wrong with you?"
"I just used my special power to cut off a fox tail and turned it into a small knife to give to you. You can use it for self-defense in the future, okay?" Bai Yu forced a smile.
Hearing the sound, Shen Zhizhi was startled and looked at the tail behind Bai Yu. Sure enough, one tail was missing.
It is said that after the fox tail is cut off, it can be transformed into different things according to the owner's wishes. It can be given to others or used by the owner himself, but the pain is like being bitten by thousands of insects and it is suffocating.
"Does it hurt?" Shen Zhizhi's face was full of heartache.
Bai Yu said something against his will, "It doesn't hurt."
It hurts so much, it hurts like a thousand arrows piercing his heart, but he has to hold back and not cry out in pain.
He said this on purpose because he was afraid that Zhizhi would worry.
Bai Yu's face turned pale. He slowly held Shen Zhizhi's hand and pointed the sharp side of the dagger at himself.
"Zhizhi, this is not the one I want to give you."
What's the meaning?
Shen Zhizhi leaned forward involuntarily, her little face full of confusion.
The dagger slowly pressed against the skin of his chest. Shen Zhizhi was not as strong as him and tried to pull it back, but it was no use.
He could only watch helplessly as the dagger drew a heavy mark on his chest.
With each breath, blood slid down his abdominal muscles and then dripped onto the animal hide.
Shen Zhizhi's head exploded. She dropped the dagger, covered the bleeding spot, and asked him, "What are you doing?"
"I have made a blood contract. From now on, you will have two lives. This is all I am worth." Blood was flowing from the corner of Bai Yu's mouth, but he smiled cunningly.
The movement did not stop until the dagger scratched the abdominal muscles, then slowly stopped.
Shen Zhizhi immediately understood, a trace of genuine heartache appeared in her eyes, and her tone was angry, "Aren't you afraid of leaving scars? What are you doing on your own?"
Once the blood contract is signed, it cannot be changed. Lu Yuli's and Bai Yu's are exactly two lives.
Chen Zhizhi's eyes went dark, but her lonely heart seemed to beat a little.
Really jumped.
Bai Yu: "I'm not afraid anymore. I have someone who loves me. I'm loved by someone. I'm so happy..."
So happy... No longer a little fox that no one loves... This life is worth it...
Chen Zhizhi's eyes couldn't help but turn red. Bai Yu fainted from the pain, but he still smiled at her before fainting.
I tried to tell her with a smile that it was okay... It's okay... It's okay at all, it doesn't hurt...
Shen Zhizhi couldn't catch his body, so she had to activate her special ability to heal the wound, but the scar remained and could not be healed.
The scars of the blood pact will remain on the body forever and cannot be healed. Lu Yuli has one on his arm.
The only way is to exchange one life for another, but then Bai Yu will also die.
Even though he hated scars so much, he was willing to get a scar for her.
Shen Zhizhi sighed softly, covered him with an animal skin blanket, and placed her hand gently on her chest. Her heart seemed to beat violently just now. Was it an illusion?
Without thinking too much, she got up and went outside. Night fell, and Lu Yumu, Yin Shu, Lou Xingchen, and Xu Yan still hadn't returned. She couldn't help but worry.
At this moment, an anxious voice from the system was heard, "Host, something bad has happened! Xu Yan has been captured and is being auctioned off now. If you don't go now, it will be too late!!"
“Check the location.” Shen Zhizhi frowned and clenched her fists.
No wonder she felt uneasy and had a bad feeling.
A location appeared in front of Shen Zhizhi, which was quite far away from her. Thinking of the three people, she asked.
"Where are Lu Yu, Yin Shu, and Lou Xingchen?"
"Their locations are scattered, so we should go find Xu Yan. Host, don't worry, the three of them are safe. The situation is urgent right now, so go and save Xu Yan!" As soon as the words were spoken, the anxious system disappeared.
Shen Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it made sense, and quickly bought a teleportation talisman from the points mall and teleported to Xu Yan's vicinity.
As soon as she left, Lu Yumu, Yin Shu and Lou Xingchen came back disappointed.
Nothing was found.
Xu Yan was really lost, and the three of them didn’t know how to tell Shen Zhizhi.
When he entered the room, he found that Chen Zhizhi was gone. The only one left was Bai Yu lying on the bed. Bai Yu looked weak and his lips were pale. It was obvious that he had done something very strenuous.
The three of them looked at each other, each puzzled.
Here, Shen Zhizhi has already come near Xu Yan.
Good news: Teleported nearby and able to see the slave auction at a glance.
Bad news: Teleported to a tree, 2 meters above the ground.
Chen Zhizhi almost fell down and sat on the branch in confusion.
The orcs in the distance were shouting fiercely, and the one doing the buying and selling was Xu Yan.
"I'll give you 10 high-quality crystal cores!"
"How can slaves be sold at such a high price? I'll give you 50 high-quality crystal cores!"
"Didn't you say you didn't want to buy it? Why are you bidding higher than me? I'm offering 55 top-grade crystal cores!"
"He's a mermaid who can cry. Pearls are so precious! If he cries every day, wouldn't I be making a fortune?"
The orcs around listened to the two orcs' comments and the bidding became more intense.
"60 crystal core!"
"62 crystal core!"
…
Xu Yan was locked in a cage. Somehow, he was given some kind of supernatural power, but the cage was full of water, forcing Xu Yan to appear in his original form.
His mysterious blue eyes darkened slightly as he looked at the orcs who were fiercely hawking their wares below the stage.
At this moment, he was like a lamb to be slaughtered, a headless fly, helpless and scared.
The fish's tail swayed gently in the water, as if it was deliberately suppressing its panic.
"Zhizhi, I'm so sad when I think I'll never see you again, but you told me not to cry, saying tears are the most precious pearls and they hurt my eyes. But you're the only one who cares whether I'm in pain or not. Without you, everyone wants me to cry every day."
"I don't know what to do..."
Xu Yan lowered his eyelids, his eyes were red, and he forced himself not to cry. He couldn't let these orcs succeed.
"Okay! The highest bidder wins! 99 top-quality crystal cores. Is there a higher price? If not, I will announce the result!" The orc boss on the stage had a silly smile on his face.
I didn’t expect a mermaid to be so valuable. I really made a profit.
“One time!”
“Twice!”
