"What are we going to do now?" Ye Fei Li asked.
"Rest" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Ye Fei Li sighed in relief, took out the game console from her chest pocket, and said: "That's great, I'm currently at the hardest part of the game, I was just thinking about how I wouldn't be able to continue if I died today"
He found a chair and sat down on it.
Turn it on.
Battle.
Gu Qing Shan shook her head speechlessly.
Lola smiled: "Gu Qing Shan, what do you think of me calling you 'Master' just now?"
Gu Qing Shan stroked her head and praised: "Very good, you and I work well together"
Lola felt happy.
"Are we really going to help the king explore the ruins?" she asked.
"I want to hear Boss's opinion on this" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Boss had already returned to the sofa and laid down like a corpse.
Hearing Gu Qing Shan's words, he closed his eyes and replied: "The God of Life is one of the very few Deities who managed to escape from the Inner Plane. She's powerful and knows many secrets, so it's good to take a look"
"Do you have any thoughts?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I don't have any thoughts, but I'm guessing that the Soul Shrieker is still searching for us. Before we leave, it would be helpful for us to understand a bit more about the Age of Old and come up with some countermeasures" Boss replied.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then decided:
"Then it's decided, we're going to take a look at the God of Life's ruins"
He then waved to Xuan Ya who was hovering in the air, signaling her to come over.
"In terms of the Law of Contracts, a three-year-old child doesn't have the ability to sign a contract on his own, but as his mother, you're his direct blood relative, so you can help him sign a few contracts"
Gu Qing Shan sincerely said:
"I'm now officially inviting you and your child to join us"
"Once you join us, you'll be on my side"
"I've just signed a rather vague contract with the king. He's very concerned about the issue of life and death because he's afraid of death, but he doesn't know that this problem is mutual. Although we can't hurt him, he can't hurt anyone in my party either."
"If anyone from the royal family approaches you with malicious intent, they will immediately be punished by the contract."
"So hurry up and make your decision."
Xuan Ya was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
"She said she would."
Ye Fei Li repeated without raising her head.
Gu Qing replied: "Then it's settled. You must personally say that you and your child are willing to join the Blade Edge Pledge"
"Blade Edge Oath?"
Jang Young-ho's voice sounded.
He had just closed the door and entered from outside.
"Yes, I set up the contract between the royal family and the Blade Edge Oath."
Gu Qing Shan continued to explain: "The Blade Edge Oath is a group formed by Barry and Kitty's group, so they have all the Laws of Contract in place, so there shouldn't be any issues"
Jang Young-ho nodded and sighed: "This way, the royal family wouldn't dare to act again. You've truly protected her and her child without making a single sound"
At this point, Xuan Ya had already begun to speak.
"I'm willing to join the Blade Edge Oath" she silently said.
Following her chant, two faint lights descended from the void of space, each enveloping Xuan Ya and her child.
This was the power of the contract.
Gu Qing Shan tapped her Inventory Bag, took out a formation plate, and began to arrange a formation on the sleeping child.
"To avoid unnecessary trouble, I will use a spirit energy cleansing formation to keep your child asleep. This will be a process of awakening his potential, which will only be beneficial to him"
"I will also arrange the corresponding defensive formations"
"For the next few days, he will remain asleep until I resurrect you — — - once you're resurrected, you will be able to meet him in person"
Hearing this, Xuan Ya opened her eyes wide, her mouth slightly opened in shock.
"That's right, don't be surprised, I can resurrect you"
Gu Qing Shan said.
…
At another location.
The king had returned to the royal palace.
He silently sat on his throne, thinking about the recent events.
"Father, did everything go smoothly?"
A tall and handsome man walked up to the throne and asked.
"Not really, the only thing we can do now is to silently wait" the king replied.
"Father … how did the matter with the guardian go?" the prince asked.
"She's dead, unfortunately, her child is still alive. Find a few people to keep an eye on that place, as soon as the people in the room leave, go in and kill that child with your own hands"
The handsome prince muttered a few words, seemingly wanting to say something.
The king's gaze turned sharp and solemnly spoke: "You must understand, once the royal bloodline and guardian bloodline are combined, there will be two consequences. The first is that the child won't be able to live past the age of 3, and the second is that the child will absorb the power of two members of the royal family and quickly evolve into a new Divine Skill"
"For the past 3 years, I've been waiting for that child to die, but he lived past the age of 3!"
The king grabbed the prince and shouted: "Right now, the only ones who have the royal bloodline are you, me, and that child! Do you want your power to be absorbed by him while you slowly become a cripple?"
"No, I don't want to!" the prince fearfully replied.
The king wanted to say something else, but his expression changed.
He let go of the prince and pushed him away.
The king squeezed out a smile and spoke to the void of space not too far away: "Esteemed guest, I assume you have a plan?"
In the middle of the royal palace, a warp formation slowly manifested.
Gu Qing Shan's group appeared in the palace.
"That's right, we've decided to help you explore the ruins in exchange for your help in killing the four Deities"
Gu Qing Shan said.
The king laughed and stood up: "Please come with me, after we've signed the contract, we'll go to the ruins"
"Very well, please" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The king stepped down from the platform and glanced at the prince one last time.
"Hmph, hurry up and do this!"
The king sent his voice.
"Yes!"
The prince nodded, turned around, and left the palace.
The king then led the group in another direction.
He led Gu Qing Shan's group past palace after palace, through various mechanisms, secret passages, and finally underground, stopping in a sealed room.
"How about we sign the contract first?" the king smiled and asked.
"I only have one question" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Please go ahead"
"According to our previous contract, we can no longer harm each other, but since we're here to help you explore the ruins, we can't just go in empty-handed. During the exploration, everything you know, as well as the information you've just obtained, must be shared with us"
The king thought for a bit, then nodded: "Very well"
"Then, it's a pleasure working with you" Gu Qing Shan smiled.
Both sides quickly signed the contract.
The king's heart was at ease.
— — -sharing information is only a small matter, the treasure left behind by the God of Life is the most important.
Although he knew that the other party was wealthy, the fact that the other party didn't want anything at all was completely out of his expectations.
Of course, he agreed to this without any hesitation.
Due to the contract, both sides couldn't harm each other.
After entering the ruins, both sides would have different things to pursue.
There was no conflict.
— — -this was the best foundation for cooperation.
"Please follow me"
The king smiled.
He led the group to the innermost part of the room.
The king cut his palm and smeared his blood on the wall.
As the wall sensed his blood, it let out a rumbling noise and slowly parted.
Soon enough, a large bronze gate appeared in front of everyone.
This gate was completely bare without anything on it, but it gave off a thick stench of blood.
A sense of vicissitudes of life arose from the bottom of everyone's heart.
"This doesn't feel good" Jang Young-ho said uncomfortably.
"I feel the same" Boss said.
The bronze gate was silent, but at the same time, it felt like it was constantly giving off billions of faint cries and screams.
The king's voice followed:
"Since the Age of Immemorial, this gate has been sealing something inside. I don't know what it is, but since this place was left behind by the God of Life, it must be hiding great benefits"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Didn't your ancestors pass down any teachings?"
The king didn't want to say it, but he felt a sense of danger.
This is the power of the contract.
I have to tell him.
Otherwise, the contract will hurt me.
The king couldn't help but tell her: "This gate is related to a secret of the Old Gods, a phrase passed down from our ancestors: This gate can only be opened when the royal family is in danger, and it can only be opened once without a second chance"
"That's why we must do everything we can"
Gu Qing Shan observed this large bronze gate and replied: "No problem"
