Chapter 138 Witch
Five days later.
The heavy coffin lid was finally slowly opened.
"Have you figured it out?"
The eerie girl, draped in a black cloak and wearing a black veil, asked again.
Luo Qingchen lay in the coffin, offering no reply.
He was now starving and listless, and had no strength left to speak.
Of course, he didn't want to answer.
For the past five days, he has been chained to this coffin, without food or water, and has been in complete darkness.
How similar it was to how he treated Shangguan Yunman back then.
He finally understood the woman's situation at that time.
What more can one ask for than death?
The girl stared at him with her cold eyes for a while, then suddenly grabbed his clothes, dragged him out of the coffin, and threw him into a corner.
Luo Qingchen then realized that this seemed to be an underground tomb.
The tomb is very spacious.
Besides several coffins, there were also many broken bones scattered on the ground.
There is another dark passage at the very back, which seems to lead to the next tomb.
On the wall opposite him hung more than a dozen skins, covered in long, loose hair and stained with blood.
The petite and eerie figure walked to another coffin, pulled out a rat from it, brought it to him, and then held it to his mouth.
Make him eat rats?
Luo Qingchen glanced at the squeaking, fang-baring rat in front of her, then looked at her, keeping her mouth tightly shut.
A flash of cold light, and the rat's head fell to the ground.
The girl took the rat's blood-soaked body, walked to the stove in the corner, roasted it in the fire for a few moments, then brought it back and held it to his mouth.
"I----"
Just as Luo Qingchen was about to refuse again, the girl in front of him suddenly grabbed his chin and forcefully shoved the rat in her hand into his mouth the instant he opened his mouth.
Luo Qingchen's hands were not bound, but she was powerless and unable to resist.
The girl shoved the entire mouse into his mouth, then forcefully pushed it down his throat, and even shoved her hand into his mouth.
Luo Qingchen was forced to open her mouth wide, struggled a few times, her throat moved, and she actually swallowed the rat whole.
Only then did the girl remove her hand from his mouth, and with her other hand, she loosened her grip on his jaw.
Luo Qingchen was stunned for a moment, feeling as if the rat was still stuck halfway down her stomach and had not yet fully entered her stomach. She could only swallow hard.
At this moment, the girl took out a water bottle, uncorked it, grabbed his chin, and forced the spout of the water bottle into his mouth, then began to pour water into his mouth with a "glug glug" sound.
Luo Qingchen didn't have time to swallow all the water; a lot of it flowed down his chin and into his neck.
However, the mouse that was stuck there finally made it into the stomach.
The girl pinched his chin again and forced him to drink for a while before letting go of him. Then she stared at him with her dark, cold eyes.
"What are you doing?"
Luo Qingchen was startled by her strange behavior.
The stench of the rat—its fur charred and its flesh half-cooked—still lingered in my mouth.
But the hunger in my stomach seemed to have eased a bit.
My thirst was also relieved a lot.
"My name is Ye Fu, what's yours?"
The girl suddenly spoke up and introduced herself.
Luo Qingchen's eyes flickered for a moment, then she said, "Zhang Bei."
The girl raised the waist tag in her hand and said, "Your name is Luo Qingchen."
Luo Qingchen didn't say anything more.
The girl then took out his storage bag and asked, "May I open this?"
Luo Qingchen remained silent.
The girl placed the waist token and storage bag in front of him, looked at him and said, "If you agree to sign a blood pact with me, I will return everything to you and let you leave immediately."
Luo Qingchen immediately closed her eyes.
The girl seemed to stare at him for a while longer before getting up and leaving.
After the footsteps faded away, Luo Qingchen slowly opened her eyes and found her waist token and storage bag still on the ground beside her.
The girl walked to a corner not far away and sat down, her petite body hidden in the shadows. She closed her eyes and seemed to begin cultivating.
Luo Qingchen took a deep breath and looked at the data inside her body.
The data has not changed.
My body felt weak, probably from being hungry for the past five days, and there might also be drug residue in my body.
He glanced at the figure in the corner, and with a thought, silently took out the antidote that A Yao had prepared for him from his storage bag, and ate a few bites of it one by one.
If that still doesn't work, he plans to directly replace some of the blood.
The old blood flows out and is replaced by new blood.
In that case, the toxins in the body should be eliminated, right?
Two hours later.
He tried to activate the internal energy within his body, but found that it remained completely still.
Meanwhile, her body remained in a limp state.
wrong.
He twitched his nose and noticed a strange, bloody smell floating in the air of the tomb.
Is the air toxic?
"Splash—"
Suddenly, a large swarm of bats flew out from the dark passage ahead, and then formed a black circle above the bathtub in the corner, squeaking and circling around.
A bizarre scene unfolded!
Blood began to gush from the mouths of those bats!
There are red ones, red and green ones, and even all green ones!
Human? Monster? Demon?
"Zi"
"Zhiyi"
The bats kept spitting blood into the bathtub.
A moment later, it surged away again, forming a black torrent.
Before they could all enter the dark passage, another swarm of bats suddenly flew out of it and landed on top of the wooden barrel in the corner, where they began to vomit blood.
Five waves of blood came in succession, and the wooden bucket seemed to be more than half full.
At this moment, the girl who was cultivating in the corner suddenly opened her eyes, got up and walked towards the bathtub, seemingly preparing to take off her clothes and get in.
But suddenly, she turned to look at him again.
Luo Qingchen was stunned for a moment, closed her eyes, turned her face away, and was secretly shocked.
No wonder this junior sister cultivates so quickly; it turns out she can control these bats to go out and suck her blood!
It can absorb not only human blood, but also magical beast blood, and even monster blood!
Moreover, she actually needed half a bucket of fresh blood for one medicinal bath?
Does it contain no medicinal ingredients?
Or was the medicine already prepared in advance?
"Whoosh!"
Judging from the sounds, the other person seemed to have already taken off their clothes and entered the bathtub.
Luo Qingchen opened her eyes and looked over.
Sensing the strong smell of blood in the air, his blood-sucking abilities began to stir.
That huge bucket of blood—if we gave it to him, how wonderful it would be to turn it into gilded blood.
Suddenly, she spoke.
"If you are willing to sign a blood pact with me, you can use this blood as well in the future."
Because she was so petite, her head was barely visible when she sat in the bathtub, and only a cold voice could be heard coming from inside the tub.
This time, Luo Qingchen fell into a long silence and deep thought.
The other person showed him her secret.
So now he really only has two choices: sign a blood pact or die.
Just like when Shangguan Yunman saw his secret.
Half an hour later.
She emerged from the tub, put on her clothes and veil, and walked toward him.
She suddenly stopped before she got close to him.
A strange sound came from the soles of her feet.
Luo Qingchen glanced at her feet, where he had just quietly placed a few iron nails.
Poisonous iron nails.
She must have stepped on it, but that sound—
Something seems off.
She suddenly lifted her foot and deliberately stepped on another nail.
The nail bent and fell to the ground.
This time, Luo Qingchen heard the sound coming from the soles of her feet.
The nail pierced the iron plate.
There were iron plates sewn into the soles of her shoes!
She bent down, picked up a poisoned iron nail from the ground, and came to him. Her dark, night-like eyes stared at him coldly as she said, "Swallow it."
She held the nail to his mouth.
The air fell silent for a moment.
Just as Luo Qingchen was about to raise the dagger hidden in her hand to fight back, she flicked her finger to the side, and with a "whoosh," the iron nail flew out and embedded itself in the thick wood of the coffin, the nail head almost completely inside.
"I don't want to kill you."
She reached out, grasped his wrist, and took the dagger from his hand, looking at him coldly: "If you obey me."
Luo Qingchen said, "You can just kill me. I won't sign a blood pact with you."
"What about the brotherhood contract?"
She said suddenly.
Luo Qingchen was taken aback upon hearing this: "A brotherhood contract?"
She blinked. "Should we sign it?"
Luo Qingchen was immediately puzzled and said, "I know you won't use your own blood. You did it this way back in the Monster Forest, didn't you?"
She seemed to think for a moment, then said seriously, "This time, I will."
Luo Qingchen asked, "Why should we sign a brotherhood contract?"
In an instant, their blood pact of servitude had transformed into a brotherhood contract. He felt that the girl's abrupt change of heart was completely baffling.
Therefore, he needs to be even more vigilant.
"A blood pact or a brotherhood pact, you choose one."
She didn't explain; she simply let him choose.
Luo Qingchen said, "If I sign the brotherhood contract, will you let me go?"
She nodded, but said, "You can leave in five months."
19
"Five months later?"
Luo Qingchen frowned.
She said, "I need to break through the barrier; you need to protect me."
Luo Qingchen's heart skipped a beat: "You need to break through—"
"The Realm of Opening the Mind"
She said in an icy voice.
Luo Qingchen exclaimed in surprise, "You've already reached the peak of the Strength Realm?"
She didn't speak, but raised a tiny fist, and with a "whoosh," a gust of wind, barely visible to the naked eye, immediately appeared on her fist.
At the same time, a faint scarlet mark appeared between her eyebrows.
This powerful aura has indeed reached its peak!
Luo Qingchen was immediately dumbfounded.
Breaking through the Strength Realm is one thing, but he's actually reached the peak! And he's about to break through to the Aperture Realm?
What kind of monster?
"Didn't you register at the sect's management office?"
He suddenly said.
She lowered her fist and said, "Why should I register? Why should others know that I'm a genius?"
Luo Qingchen: "————"
"I'm not like you, showing off everywhere."
After saying that, she stood up, walked to the coffin next to her, grabbed a rat from inside, cut off its head, walked to the stove, and roasted it in the fire.
After a while.
She took a piece of half-cooked rat meat, sat down in front of him, tore off a rat leg, and held it to his mouth.
Luo Qingchen was about to shake her head when she suddenly saw that her other hand was already poised to strike.
Clearly, she was about to grab his chin again and shove the whole rat into his mouth, down his throat.
Luo Qingchen immediately opened her mouth and put the rat leg into it.
She was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting him to be so obedient all of a sudden. For a moment, she was caught off guard and her hand, which had been holding back with force, had to relax. She tore off a rat leg and put it in her mouth.
The two chewed on the rat leg in silence, neither of them saying another word.
A long silence.
Seeing that she was staring at her, Luo Qingchen had no choice but to chew the bone in her mouth and swallow it.
"Is it tasty?"
She asked the question.
Luo Qingchen thought for a moment, and before she could answer, she said, "It's delicious, isn't it?"
She chewed slowly and said, "When we were little, my sister and I loved eating them the most. Every time we caught one, I would gobble it down, while my sister would only eat the head, and the rest was all mine. At that time, I thought my sister only liked to eat the head."
Luo Qingchen looked down at the bloody, wide-eyed rat heads on the ground.
"Where's your sister?"
He asked.
She swallowed the bone in her mouth, her dark, cold eyes looking at him, and said, "Dead."
Luo Qingchen did not speak again.
She tore off another mouse leg and held it to his mouth.
Luo Qingchen slowly opened her mouth and bit down.
"Is it tasty?"
She asked again.
This time, Luo Qingchen said, "It's delicious."
When people are hungry, everything tastes good.
It turned out that she wasn't intentionally insulting or torturing him with rat meat, but rather feeding him what she considered the most delicious food.
But why?
"Did you kill Lian Hongpei?"
He suddenly asked.
She didn't answer, but looked at him and said, "Do you want to avenge her?"
"Why kill her?"
He asked.
She tore off the last rat leg, looked down at it for a moment, and said, "I like killing."
Luo Qingchen asked, "Why her? And why is she hanging at the entrance of my cave?"
She lowered her head and remained silent for a long while before raising her head to look at him and say, "Because I want you to know that there are no good people in this world. When you were infamous, I saw her several times in the Monster Forest. The two people she was with that day were also disciples of Hehuan Peak, and they all knew each other."
Luo Qingchen was silent for a moment, then asked, "Why are you helping me?"
She said, "I don't want to help you, I just want you to be my servant. Are you willing?"
Luo Qingchen said, "I don't want to."
"And what about your friends?"
She suddenly added.
Luo Qingchen was taken aback and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
She handed him the remaining rat meat, looking at him earnestly: "If you're willing to be my friend, from now on, my rat meat is your rat meat, my coffin is your coffin. From now on, we can live here together, cultivate with blood together, break through to the Qi Opening Realm together, and then—go out and kill together."
"You kill, I'll skin you alive, okay?"
She blinked her dark eyes and spoke in an innocent and carefree tone, as if she were saying, "Let's be friends and go out to play house together in the future."
But she was referring to eating rats, sleeping in coffins, sucking blood, and killing and skinning people alive.
