Something's wrong with this demon.

Chapter 139 Money Bag

Suddenly, the cave fell silent.

The two remained silent, one waiting, the other pondering.

"Then let's be friends."

Luo Qingchen didn't keep her waiting long before making her decision.

If he only had the options of blood pact and death, he would definitely hesitate, but now there is also a brotherhood pact.

So what is there to hesitate about?

Although the other party's sudden shift from a blood pact to a brotherhood contract is very strange and unpredictable, they may have other motives.

But at this point, it was the only option that seemed relatively safe to him.

"So, you choose the brotherhood contract?"

She spoke.

Luo Qingchen replied, "Yes."

He added, "But I hope that when you put your handprint on, I will prick your fingertip and help you press it."

"You don't believe me?"

She blinked her dark eyes and said, "Shouldn't friends trust each other?"

Luo Qingchen did not speak.

friend?

Doesn't it seem ridiculous to say such things in a place like this?

"All right."

She agreed.

She placed the remaining rat meat on the ground beside her, then took out two brotherhood contracts from her storage bag and handed them to him. "You've already signed them?"

Luo Qingchen took the brotherhood contract and looked at the two crooked and extremely ugly characters "Ye Fu" on it, and her expression changed.

She had already prepared these two brotherhood contracts long ago?

And it was already signed?

"I signed it on your first day here."

She admitted it frankly.

So, was the previous act of forcing him to sign a blood pact and become a living corpse slave just a way to scare him?

Luo Qingchen became increasingly puzzled.

Why would this ruthless and merciless junior sister treat him like this?

It was completely different from what he had imagined.

He imagined that the other party would cut off his head and then skin him alive.

Or, through various cruel means, she could force him to sign a blood pact, making him her living corpse slave.

But now, is it just a brotherhood contract?

Clearly, the other party has other, more sinister, and even more terrifying motives.

But at this point, he had no other choice.

He carefully read through the contract again, then looked at the words "Night Lotus" at the bottom.

Suddenly, a small hand reached out and covered the two crooked and ugly characters.

A hint of unease and embarrassment seemed to appear in those normally cold, dark eyes.

"sign!"

She said coldly.

She can't write, and her handwriting is terrible, so she feels ashamed.

Luo Qingchen thought to herself.

He took out a pen and signed his name next to her little hand.

Then he raised his head and looked at her.

She said coldly, "You go first."

Without further hesitation, Luo Qingchen bit the tip of her index finger, squeezed out a drop of blood, showed it to her, and then pressed it onto her name. Then she looked at her.

She hesitated for a moment, then prepared to extend her finger.

But suddenly, she shrank back and said, "Wait a minute."

After saying that, she got up and left, walking to a corner not far away, her back to him, doing something unknown.

Luo Qingchen heard the sound of water.

A moment later, she walked over, squatted down in front of him, glanced at him again with her big, dark eyes, and then put her index finger to his lips.

The water stains on her index finger were not completely dried.

Clearly, she had just secretly gone to wash her hands.

Luo Qingchen looked at her with a puzzled expression, picked up his dagger from the ground, grabbed her hand with one hand, and prepared to use the dagger to cut her finger with the other. The moment he held her small hand, she suddenly trembled.

When he picked up the dagger, preparing to cut her finger, she visibly froze for a moment, then suddenly pulled her outstretched index finger back, her dark eyes staring coldly at him.

Luo Qingchen asked, "What's wrong?"

She didn't speak, staring at him for a moment, then suddenly slapped the dagger out of his hand. Next, she grabbed his chin with one hand, and with the other, she plunged her index finger into his open mouth with a "plop," nearly piercing his throat. "You think I'm dirty?"

She said coldly.

Luo Qingchen almost vomited from his penetration; her hand was in his mouth, and he couldn't speak.

"bite."

She pulled her hand back slightly, placed the tip of her slender index finger on his teeth, and commanded.

Luo Qingchen was stunned for a moment, and could only gently close her teeth and bite her fingertip until it bled.

The instant his teeth pierced her fingertip, he clearly saw her dark pupils suddenly dilate, her petite body tremble, and then, a section of her fair ear peeked out from the gap between her hat and hair, seemingly red.

She took out her finger, looked at the saliva and blood on it, and then pressed it on the names of the two contracts.

"Now, do you believe me?"

She raised her head and said.

Luo Qingchen glanced at the two brotherhood contracts again, looking at the bloody fingerprints on them, and thought to herself: If I were to use gilded blood to leave my fingerprints, it probably wouldn't count. Although the blood had indeed flowed from her fingertips, it wasn't necessarily hers. Even what you see with your own eyes can be fake.

However, he nodded, indicating that he believed him.

One serving per person.

She stood up, handed him a portion, and kept her own.

Then he squatted down, helped him untie the chains, and set his leg bone.

Luo Qingchen endured the pain, remained silent for a while, and then said, "Can I leave here in five months?"

She picked up the remaining rat meat from the ground, stood up, and said, "Yes."

Luo Qingchen asked, "When will I regain my strength?"

"It depends on your performance."

She walked to the coffin next to her and put the remaining rat meat into it.

The sounds of squeaking and scrambling for rat meat immediately filled the air.

Luo Qingchen silently put away the brotherhood contract. After a while, she suddenly said, "I've reserved some magical beast blood at the blood shop. If I don't go tomorrow, it will be gone."

She ignored him, walked to a corner, sat down, and began to cultivate.

Luo Qingchen stared at her for a while, then looked at the dark passage not far away.

There were many more scarlet eyes on the walls there.

Vampire bats?

How exactly did she manage to get them to go out and suck blood?

He secretly wondered.

But clearly, he couldn't understand it.

Just like Shangguan Yunman couldn't understand why he could absorb the blood of those magical beasts, why he could preserve the blood of those magical beasts, and why he could directly cultivate through medicinal baths.

Everyone has their own secrets.

Everyone has their own opportunities.

After witnessing Junior Sister Ye's vampire bats and her terrifying cultivation speed, he truly understood that there are always people more capable than oneself, and mountains beyond mountains. He was a genius.

But he is not the only genius in this world.

He has gilded blood.

But some people possess treasures that may be even better than gilded blood.

He has a second health bar.

But perhaps some people have a second life.

Therefore, he must always be careful and cautious.

The next day.

He had just woken up in the corner when he saw a pair of dark, deep eyes right in front of him, staring at him, almost touching his face.

"What's wrong?"

He quietly clenched his fist, realizing that his strength had not yet returned.

She stared at him for a while longer, then stepped back slightly, her face veiled, and said, "You're dreaming."

Luo Qingchen asked, "What did I say?"

She didn't answer, paused, and then said, "I'm going out today, and I can get you some monster blood while I'm at it."

Luo Qingchen asked, "Can I go out by myself?"

She said, "No."

Luo Qingchen glanced at her again, said nothing more, took out her waist token, and handed it to her.

Do you have any money?

She took the waist tag and suddenly asked a question.

Luo Qingchen's heart tightened, and she said, "No."

He then added, "I only have a few dozen taels on me, and I owe a lot of debts, at least several thousand taels."

No sooner had she finished speaking than she took out a stack of silver notes from her bosom and handed them to him, saying, "Here is five thousand taels. Is that enough to pay off your debts?" Luo Qingchen was taken aback.

"We're friends, so my money is your money."

She stuffed the silver notes into his arms, looked at him earnestly, and said, "From now on, let's go out and kill and rob together, skin people alive and sell the goods for money, and split it 50/50, okay?"

Luo Qingchen was momentarily at a loss for words.

"By the way, do you have any extra purses?"

She suddenly added.

Luo Qingchen asked, "A money pouch?"

She nodded: "I'm out of money."

Luo Qingchen took out three money pouches from her storage bag and handed them to her.

These three purses all belong to women.

There are pink ones, red ones, and purple ones; he picked them all up.

She glanced at it, then shook her head: "Are there any nice ones? I like black, or gray."

Luo Qingchen glanced at her black cloak and black veil, then took out three more black money pouches from her storage bag and handed them to her.

Do you have gray ones?

She still seemed dissatisfied.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingchen hesitated for a moment, then had no choice but to take out another gray one.

This was his only gray money bag.

"You can't bear to part with it?"

She seemed to sense his hesitation.

Luo Qingchen handed it to her, saying, "It's not that I'm reluctant to part with it, it's just that this purse... has some meaning to me, so I've kept it all this time. Giving it to you is no big deal."

"What does it mean?"

She asked.

Luo Qingchen paused for a moment, then said, "When I first entered Medicine Man Town, I desperately needed money. I sold my blood and my soul, but I still couldn't raise any money, and no one lent me any. Finally, on my way back, I suddenly found this money bag, which contained a lot of loose silver. Although it seems insignificant now, at the time, it was a huge surprise for me. It gave me hope and good luck."

She took the purse, gently stroked it with her fingertips, then handed it back to him, saying, "Then you can keep it."

Luo Qingchen said, "It's alright, you can take it."

She stuffed it directly into his chest, along with the five thousand taels of silver notes, then picked up a pink purse from the ground, put it away, and stood up, saying, "I'm going out. You're home alone, so be good. If you run around, they'll eat you."

After saying that, he walked into the dark passage ahead.

The dim light cast long shadows on her petite figure, which was draped in a black cloak.

But soon, she blended into the darkness of the passage and disappeared.

Luo Qingchen looked up at the leather hanging on the opposite wall, then at the dense array of scarlet eyes hanging on the corridor wall. "Is that the exit?"

He thought to himself.

The other party may not kill him again, nor force him to sign a blood pact, but they definitely have other motives.

Five thousand taels of silver notes, and you just gave it to him directly?

No one will be kind to him for no reason, unless the other party has a bigger plan.

Therefore, he had to find a way to escape from here.

With all his might, he braced himself against the wall behind him and slowly stood up from the ground.

"Splash!"

No sooner had he stood up than the vampire bats hanging in the passageway ahead suddenly shrieked and flew out, forming a black torrent, each baring its ferocious fangs, surging towards him.

The entire space in front was almost entirely covered by this group of black figures!

His expression changed, and he hurriedly sat down again.

"Squeak!"

The vampire bats circled above his head, their shrieks sounding like a warning, before flying back into the dark passage and hanging on the walls on either side and above him, like a large, loyal, and terrifying group of guards.

Those pairs of bloodthirsty, scarlet eyes still seemed to be staring intently at him.

Luo Qingchen was both shocked and envious.

If he had such a large group of obedient subordinates, he wouldn't need to go out and risk his life to exploit others.

How did she manage to do that?

Two hours later.

A petite figure, draped in a cloak, hat, and veil, emerged from the dark passage.

She carried a fresh, blood-soaked skin, covered in long hair, and walked directly to the wall opposite him. She used a stick to lift it up and hung it there.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."

Fresh blood dripped from his skin, drop by drop.

Even though Luo Qingchen had seen many terrifying scenes like this before, she still felt chills to the bone looking at her petite and eerie figure and the skin covering the wall.

"She was loitering in front of your cave, probably wanting to see you, so I brought her here."

She said this casually as she washed her hands in the corner.

Luo Qingchen's gaze shifted from the wall to her petite yet chilling figure, and she said, "Aren't you afraid of violating the sect rules and getting the Enforcement Hall after you?"

After washing her hands and changing her clothes, she said, "I didn't register, so they can't find me. Besides, when I killed people, I was wearing human skin and had transformed into something else."

Luo Qingchen's expression shifted: "Ghost Shadow Technique?"

She wiped her hands, came up to him, and stared at him with her dark eyes, saying, "After we break through to the Qi Opening Realm, let's go and kill everyone in the Enforcement Hall, okay?"

Luo Qingchen's lips twitched slightly.

She added, "Also, kill all three women in the medicine shop in Yaoren Town, skin them, and hang them here, okay?" Luo Qingchen's heart skipped a beat, and she stared intently at her.

"If you like them, let them hang here so they can keep you company every day. You'll be happy to see them every day, right?" "Don't worry, we're friends, I'll definitely help you."

After saying this, she went to the coffin next to her, grabbed a rat, cut off its head, and came to him. Then, she forcefully shoved the head into his mouth. At that moment, her emotions seemed to suddenly change, and her voice became chillingly cold.

"Do you know?"

"You are my only friend, so I don't want to see you deceived by anyone, especially women."

"Could you please stop talking to them from now on?"

Her tone was icy and sharp, yet it seemed to carry a hint of pleading.

Her dark, icy eyes were filled with a terrifying killing intent, yet also seemed to reveal a pitiful and helpless expression, as if she were about to be abandoned. "Squeak!"

The swarm of vampire bats hanging in the darkness ahead seemed to sense her emotions, suddenly baring their fangs and letting out sharp, piercing screams, "Squeak squeak squeak!"

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

The entire tomb seemed to have suddenly transformed into a terrifying hell where countless vengeful ghosts screamed in agony.
