Chapter 580 - Ten-year pact, see you again at the Empire (2/2)

He hugged her and saw her worried expression. He laughed and said, “There’s no need. This thousand years of cold poison can not always be suppressed. Otherwise, after the outbreak, the consequence will be even more grave.”

“So what to do if you get a cold poison attack?” His plight should have been very dangerous, especially those that happened on the fifteenth night. It could be said that they knew that he was at his weakest in the fifteenth night and it would be the easiest to kill him.

“Don’t worry about it, this Lord has his own ideas.” As he spoke, he took out a necklace and put it on her. “This necklace is a defensive divine artifact. You must not take it off at any time.”

She felt something cool on her chest. When she looked down, she saw that it was a purple pendant in the shape of a droplet. The pendant was emitting a mysterious light. Inside the bright droplet, there were seven pale yellow tiny stars made of unknown texture. It reflected suns.h.i.+ne, very beautiful and dazzling.

“Thank you.” She thanked him with a soft voice. She found that she had nothing to give him. However, her eyes sparkled as if she had remembered something. She told him, “Wait a minute.”

He looked at her quietly with a smile in his eyes. He saw her take out a red rope from her spatial s.p.a.ce and a strand of her hair. She weaved it into the red rope. Finally, she made him stretch out his hand and tie it to his wrist as fits his size.

“It’s my return gift, a red string bracelet for safety.”

Looking at the red string woven on his wrist, his lips curled up. “Mm, it’s a very good gift. This Lord will always wear it.”

She looked at him intently, as if to mark his face in her mind. She hid her reluctance to part with him inside her heart and said softly. “I’ll send you out of the city!”

“No need.”

He let out a m.u.f.fled voice, his dark eyes peered into hers. He spoke unhurriedly, “We have to part with each other. It’s okay to see me off here.” As he spoke, he lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead.

“Don’t forget the ten-year pact with this Lord. I am waiting for you at the Empire.”
