"Repay Emperor Aoki? If your life is gone, you are nothing!"
"Some people are determined not to give up until they reach the Yellow River, and they don't know how to look back until they hit the south wall."
"Since you want to die so much, I will make it happen for you!"
…
With a look of disdain, Chen Hai sneered.
Originally, the dozen or so sticks that had pierced the skinny old man Qingmu's body had stopped devouring the old man's flesh and blood under his control.
But now, after his good intentions were exchanged for Aoki's ruthless abuse, the devouring power within those tentacles increased sharply again.
Aoki's wisp of consciousness was still cursing, but as his flesh and blood essence continued to drain away, his cursing voice began to become inaudible little by little.
Depending on the situation, this ray of consciousness will be completely extinguished in at most one breath.
At that time, he would not want to communicate with Chen Hai again, unless he had the ability to break through the cold blockade and let a ray of his consciousness escape again.
However, he obviously cannot do this with his own strength. Otherwise, the ray of consciousness in front of him would not be shaky and unsustainable due to the loss of flesh and blood.
Of course, Chen Hai, who has been paying attention to Aoki's consciousness, is naturally aware that Aoki's consciousness is about to collapse.
On the ancient land, only those who are at the quasi-sage level are qualified to give themselves the title of emperor.
Previously, Chen Hai had guessed that Qingmu's strength should be at least above the Da Luo realm.
After hearing this man calling himself Emperor Qingmu, he realized that in his prime, this man was actually a quasi-sage!
But so what? Even if he were more powerful, now that he was in his own hands, wouldn't he still be able to take his life and death?
Do you really want to devour a powerful quasi-sage like this? Chen Hai, who has always been somewhat loyal and benevolent, finally felt a little intolerable at this juncture.
"Old man, let me ask you one last question, are you willing to surrender to me? Work for me?"
Stopping to swallow Aoki's flesh and blood essence, Chen Hai tentatively opened his mouth and asked.
The reason for this is not that his Holy Mother Heart is overflowing. He mainly feels that it is not cost-effective to devour Qingmu like this. The little benefit he gets cannot be compared with the huge benefits brought by conquering Qingmu.
.
Because that ray of consciousness was about to collapse, Aoki had already stopped cursing.
Facing Chen Hai's kind inquiry, he seemed not to hear it and made no response at all.
"If you can cultivate to the realm of quasi-sage, I believe Aoki you are not a fool."
"You must understand that it is better to die than to live. After all, if your life is gone, it means that everything is gone. Anyway, as long as you live, you have all the possibilities."
"Become a coachman for me? I know you can't let go of your figure or your dignity. Look at this, I'll be accommodating. I don't need you to work for me in your lifetime. As long as you work for me for a thousand years, I will save your life!"
"
"This is my greatest sincerity. What do you think of my proposal?"
Frowning slightly, Chen Hai pondered for a moment, then he spoke again and said.
For ordinary people, a thousand years is enough time to complete the change of dynasty.
However, for a quasi-sage strongman like Aoki, such a small amount of time is really nothing. If not, a thousand years of time will have passed after a deep retreat.
"This..." In his extremely weak voice, Aoki responded.
However, he hesitated but never gave Chen Hai an accurate answer.
It seems that just the condition of serving Chen Hai for a thousand years is still tempting to him.
"Even if I die, I will never be a driver!" After being silent for a while, Aoki finally spoke again.
Although he still rejected Chen Hai's proposal, there was clearly a hint of looseness in his words.
"Not a coachman? Okay."
"With your strength, you are definitely qualified to be my guard. What do you think?"
Sensing the change in Qingmu's tone, Chen Hai smiled softly and then changed his words.
In his eyes, it doesn't matter whether he is a coachman or a bodyguard, as long as Aoki agrees to work for him and is willing to obey his orders.
"No, I won't accept being your bodyguard either."
"At most, I am only willing to surrender to the position of housekeeper in your house and serve you for a thousand years!"
The power of a housekeeper is definitely greater than that of a guard. Aoki is still a man of some pursuits. He has already decided on a position for himself and immediately gave Chen Hai a reply.
"Okay, the housekeeper will be the housekeeper!" Chen Hai agreed without much thought.
On the surface, he seemed calm and didn't have any overreaction, but deep down, he was actually already happy.
Of course, although he was ecstatic in his heart, he did not lose his mind: "Aoki, although you and I have reached an agreement, what guarantee can you give that after I help you get rid of the cold, you will keep your promise and be loyal to me?"
Things like agreements can be overturned. Otherwise, the word "treachery" would not have been born.
If Aoki couldn't guarantee that he would keep his promise, Chen Hai would rather swallow him directly than spend a lot of effort to save him, only to have him draw his sword at him in the end.
"Please bear witness from heaven and earth. As long as the person in front of me is willing to help me get rid of the extremely yin profound energy and save my life, I, Qingmu, am willing to take him as my master, become the steward of his house, and serve him for a thousand years!"
"If I violate it, my Dao Fruit will be shattered, my inner demons will be everywhere, and my strength will never be able to enter the realm again!"
…
Faced with Chen Hai's doubts, Aoki was so unbelievable that he directly began to pray to heaven and earth, chanting some words.
The language in his mouth was obviously very unfamiliar. Chen Hai could be sure that he had never been exposed to it before, but when the syllables fell into his ears, he naturally understood the meaning contained in those words.
.
When Aoki finished all his words, Chen Hai felt the world tremble. There seemed to be some kind of connection between him and Aoki.
"Sir, this is the great oath of heaven."
"We cultivators, if we act in accordance with nature and violate the oath of heaven, we will be despised by heaven and earth, and our spiritual beads will be covered in dust and fall into disaster."
"Having this oath as a guarantee should be enough to prove my sincerity!"
The voice was weak, and Aoki's consciousness seemed to have become much weaker again. He opened his mouth to explain to Chen Hai.
"Aoki, I have already felt your sincerity!"
"Don't worry, I will help you get rid of the cold right now. When the tentacles on my body penetrate your body, just remember not to resist!"
Smiling and nodding, in addition to driving the more than ten tentacles to start devouring the coldness in Aoki's body, Chen Hai once again saw countless tentacles pouring out of his body, piercing directly into Aoki's body in front of him.
Unfortunately, the quasi-sage's body is so strong that even if Aoki lets go of his defense, the devouring touch still cannot penetrate it.
There was no other way, so Chen Hai could only use the golden dragon scissors again to cut open the cracks, and then use the ferocious mouthparts on the tentacles to pierce the flesh and blood in the cracks.
It wasn't until more than a hundred tentacles pierced into Qingmu's body that Chen Hai stopped and put away the golden dragon shears.
