Chapter 199: Life-and-Death Contract
Translator: Pika
“What kind of deal?” asked Zu An as he gazed upon the undead army in horror He hadn’t even resolved the crisis with Mi Li when another disaster began falling upon him
It looks like I’m really doomed now
“You should also know that everyone here will die once those vengeful evil spirits rush out,” said Mi Li
The intrigued Zu An asked, “Aren’t they soldiers of the Qin Dynasty before their deaths? It’s one thing for the Han, but surely you should be able to order them as the empress of the Qin Dynasty?”
Mi Li shook her head and replied, “It’s true that they were soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, but they died with a heart filled with hatred, and they were sealed for a thousand years afterward Their hatred has eroded their sentience, turning theeful spirits All that’s left in them is viciousness and bloodlust, and it’s in their instinct to eli creatures before them None of us will live once they fully escape from the confines of that lake”
“What kind of deal are you proposing then?” asked Zu An
He was only able to joke around with Mi Li because she was pretty, but there was no way he would bother entertaining these evil spirits
“Instead of wasting your purification on eful spirits This will be beneficial to both of us!” replied Mi Li
Zu An was delighted It seems like this woman really thinks that I’m able to purify her and is afraid now
With such thoughts in mind, his attitude became even harder “Why should I? You nearly caused my wife’s death I have no reason to let you off so easily!”
Mi Li’s face darkened as she struggled internally to colance over at the lake and saw that the terracotta soldiers were gradually being pushed back It was only a eful spirits overwhele difference in terms of forces There were over 200,000 evil spirits whereas there were only around several thousand terracotta soldiers If not for the fact that the evil spirits weren’t able to escape the seal all at once, the battle would have ended in an instance
“Fine! I’ll leave your wife’s body, but you ainst ather resources for rihted This was the best outcohtened of the so-called purification “Very well, I’ll agree to your deal Hurry up and get out of Chuyan’s body right now!”
“Do you take e on your promise afterward?” sneered Mi Li
“What do you want me to do then? Should we seal another contract then?” asked Zu An
“That won’t do There are far too many loopholes with contracts, and you seem to be quite a despicable man Who knohat kind of verbal traps you have prepared for ht away
“” Zu An
“Big sis empress, I do recall that you were the one who taed on our promise earlier How in the world do you have the cheek to raise this ers me just to think of it!
“Ah Zu, you mustn’t accept her deal! That wo!” exclaireement too “Indeed, this woman is vile We can’t trust her!”
“Foolish women All is fair in war! I don’t know any of you, so it’s only normal forfoolish enough to fall into s are different now that we’re on the same boat!” Mi Li harrumphed
Zu An was rendered speechless by Mi Li’s shamelessness Somehow, he felt a little offended by her words However, he knew that he had no choice to go along with Mi Li’s deht now
“What do you want to do then?”
Mi Li had already thought things through properly “There are simply far too many plausible loopholes in the contract Let’s just sio with a ‘Life-and-Death Contract’ instead This way, none of us can pull anything at all”
“Life-and-Death Contract? What’s that?” asked Zu An in confusion
Mi Li quickly explained, “A proe together”
Qiao Xueying couldn’t help but interject, “How sha this as an excuse to snatch Miss Chu’s husband?”
Chu Chuyan’s shocked expression showed that she had the sahts in e, bellowing, “What are you two du about? Who in the world would want to snatch this scum from you? That poem isn’t used to describe romance between a man and a woman back then but the caest, it refers to a proether on the battlefield with one’s co’s face reddened “I I mean exactly that!”
Chu Chuyan was also ehts that she didn’t notice Qiao Xueying’s anomaly
“This contract would seal both of our souls together If you die, I’ll die as well, and vice-versa This on’t have to worry about each other doing anything contrary to our interests,” replied Mi Li “This is the only way I’ll feel secure enough to leave your wife’s body Otherwise, I’ll rather all of us go down together”
“You want us to die together?” Zu An hesitated upon hearing those words He didn’t want to entrust his fate into the hands of another person
Chu Chuyan gritted her teeth and said, “Ah Zu, don’t agree to that Bring Snow out of here; I’ll stall her for the ti those words Before he could say anything, Mi Li had already interjected, “You really are a du run away if he’s able to abandon you! He wouldn’t have waited till now, sustaining such severe injuries for you!
“Besides, if anyone is disadvantaged in this contract, it’s me! I haven’t even scorned hi me? Do you knoerful I am? There are few in the world who have the ability to hurt me whereas your man is so measly weak I a still wasn’t willing to let thiswho? At the very least, he should be able to live till a thousand years old, possibly higher than that once his cultivation rank goes up It’s his loss for tying his fate with you!”
She had shared at least 700 to 800 years of her lifespan to hih her Half Life’s Fate, and cultivators usually had a lifespan far longer than ordinarya thousand years was really a walk in the park for him
After she had contributed half of her lifespan to Zu An, there was no way she would be content to see Zu An dying together with another woe loss it would be for her if that were to happen!
