Ghost's expression became strange. "Is this a ceremony for the merfolk to become sworn brothers? This merfolk has taken a fancy to me and wants to become sworn brothers with me? "
It didn't make sense. She had been here for a few days recently, but this merfolk didn't treat her particularly well.
After thinking for a while, Ghost asked, "What is her status here?"
She didn't have much contact with the merfolk, but it wasn't difficult to see that Bai Lu's status here wasn't low.
Lu Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Bai Lu is the princess of this merfolk clan!"
Ghost was stunned. She obviously didn't expect Bai Lu's status to be so noble. On second thought, she was a princess, and she drank the golden thing, so there shouldn't be any problem. Moreover, looking at Wu Zun's posture, if she didn't drink it, she most likely wouldn't be able to escape. If she was forced to drink it, then the scene wouldn't be pretty.
After making up her mind, Ghost looked at Lu Ye. "Remember what you said. If I drink this, you will take me away! If you dare to tease me, I will fight you to the death! "
With that said, she took the shell from Lu Ye's hand and drank it all!
She was smart. When she drank the golden light, she had already wrapped it with her spiritual power. Once she got out of here, she would spit it out. This little trick wasn't difficult for her.
But what surprised her was that although she had used her spiritual power to envelop it, the moment the golden light entered her abdomen, the binding of her spiritual power lost its effect. Then, Ghost felt a warm current rising from her abdomen. That warm current seemed to have turned into a living thing, like an invisible little snake that quickly slithered in her body.
Her face changed, and she hurriedly immersed herself in investigating. At the same time, she urged her spiritual power to suppress it, but it was completely useless.
In just two short breaths, the invisible snake swam to her arm. A slight tingling pain came, and then there was no more abnormality.
She hurriedly lowered her head and looked at the place where the tingling pain came from, only to see that there was an additional spiral mark in that position!
"What is this?" She looked up and glared at Lu Ye.
Lu Ye was surprised, too. The mark looked the same as the one he had left behind with the Blue Sea Conch. The only difference was that the mark on the ghost's arm was gold, while the one he had left behind with the Blue Sea Conch was cyan.
He looked at Bai Lu in confusion, only to see Bai Lu smile and flip her arm over. On the inside of her arm, there was also a golden spiral mark.
Lu Ye blurted out, "You can think of this mark as a symbol of you sisters becoming sworn sisters!"
Ghost obviously didn't believe his nonsense. She just stared at Bai Lu, wanting her to give an explanation.
Bai Lu flipped her palm, and a short spear-like weapon appeared in her hand. Before Lu Ye could react, she suddenly turned the spearhead and stabbed herself in the abdomen.
Although this kind of weapon forged by the Merfolk Clan did not have any restrictions, it was extremely sharp. Even if Bai Lu had the strength of a late-stage Constellation Realm cultivator and her body was not ordinary, this spear still directly pierced through her lower abdomen without using spiritual power to protect her body!
Blood splashed out, but she didn't even frown. Only a trace of pain flashed through her eyes.
Lu Ye was shocked, completely unaware of what she was doing.
But something even more surprising happened. As Bai Lu stabbed with the spear, she didn't cry out, but Ghost next to her screamed. She reached out to cover her abdomen, as if she had suffered a heavy blow, and her body instinctively retreated.
Lu Ye could clearly see that the place she was covering was exactly the same as the place where Bai Lu had stabbed her. Blood was flowing out from between her fingers.
Bai Lu pulled out the short spear and slashed her arm with lightning speed. A bloody wound immediately appeared on her fair arm.
At the same time, Ghost, who clearly didn't suffer any attack, had the exact same injury on the same part of her body!
Bai Lu said, "Tell her that no matter how far apart we are from each other in the future, we will be closely connected. She will suffer the same injuries that I suffer. If I die, she won't be able to live either!"
Lu Ye looked at Bai Lu with a grave expression, "There's no need for that!"
If he had known that Bai Lu was going to use such a method, he wouldn't have agreed. But before Bai Lu used this method, she didn't explain it to him at all. Lu Ye thought that the Merfolk Clan had some special secret technique.
But now it seemed that it wasn't the Merfolk Clan's secret technique, but the effect of the two golden conches.
The two golden conches were wonderful things brought out by a pair of twins on the Merfolk Clan's side from the Tian Luo Palace Hall. The Merfolk Clan had obviously seen through their effects long ago, but they had never had a chance to use them. Because this kind of thing, which was closely connected to each other's lives, didn't have much use in itself. This time, after seeing Lu Ye's dilemma, Bai Lu decisively used it.
Before using it, she deliberately didn't explain the situation to Lu Ye because she knew that once she did, Lu Ye would definitely not agree. It was better to act first and report later.
Feeling Lu Ye's heavy mood, Bai Lu smiled slightly, "It's okay, as long as it can help you."
"Can it be removed?" Lu Ye asked. If it couldn't be removed, then Bai Lu's life would really be tied to Ghost's in the future. Bai Lu wouldn't encounter too much danger in the Merfolk Clan's territory, but Ghost was wandering outside and encountered a lot of danger. When the time came, it would inevitably implicate Bai Lu. Maybe one day Bai Lu would suffer an unexpected disaster.
"Yes, as long as both sides agree, the mark can be removed. But before she is obedient, I think it's best not to remove it."
When the two were talking, Ghost also faintly realized the mystery of the mark, but she wasn't sure. She could only ask, "Fa Wuzun, what the hell is going on?"
Lu Ye looked at her and told her what Bai Lu had just said.
Ghost was completely stunned. She had thought that he was going to become sworn brothers with her. Who would have thought that her life would be tied to his? He was right. This time, they were really going to live and die together.
She was annoyed for a moment, "Fa Wuzun, is this how you treat me? You're too despicable! "
"So you'd better be obedient!"
Ghost was so angry that her nose was crooked. She wanted to curse, but on second thought, she thought of something and suddenly laughed. "She's the Merfolk Clan's princess. Her status is noble. I don't believe that she will die together with me just to kill me. I, Ghost, have a worthless life. Now that someone is willing to live and die with me, it's still a gain for me! And since she can control my life and death, it seems like I can control her life and death as well … "
With that said, she raised her hand and summoned a dagger. Lu Ye found it familiar. It was the dagger she had pulled out from the Skeleton General's eye socket.
Ghost's eyes were filled with eagerness as she threatened Lu Ye, "Hurry up and take me out, or I won't be polite!"
Lu Ye raised his hand and pressed down on the hilt of the Mountain Pan Saber!
Ghost was also decisive. The dagger directly slashed across her arm, immediately leaving a wound. As expected, a similar wound appeared on Bai Lu's arm. Blood flowed freely.
Lu Ye frowned. The effects of the two Golden Conches were too strange. He couldn't feel any mysterious energy fluctuations at all. But whether it was Bai Lu or Ghost, as long as one of them was injured, the other would definitely suffer the same injury.
Bai Lu clearly saw through Ghost's plan. She lowered her head and looked at the wound on her arm. She didn't move at all. She only raised her head and smiled at Ghost.
This smile made Ghost feel inexplicably creeped out.
Then, she saw Bai Lu slowly raise the short spear and aim the tip of the spear at her own chest!
"What are you doing!" Ghost panicked.
Bai Lu's expression didn't change. She was still smiling. The dagger in her hand slowly pierced her chest. Blood flowed out, dyeing the shell red. The dagger was slowly but surely piercing toward the depths of her heart!
This time, not only did Ghost panic, but even Lu Ye's expression changed.
"Don't!" Ghost screamed and hurriedly rushed over. She grabbed the dagger in Bai Lu's hand and shook her head at her pleadingly.
Although this kind of injury wasn't fatal for a late-stage Constellation Realm cultivator, it would definitely greatly damage her vitality.
Ghost had never expected that the Mermaid Princess, who looked so charming, would be so ruthless in her actions!
Bai Lu's hand stopped moving. She raised a finger and tapped it on Ghost's forehead. The ethereal song of enlightenment rang out.
Then, Bai Lu's divine sense surged. Lu Ye didn't know what she said to Ghost, but Ghost's expression began to soften. She nodded repeatedly, and even revealed a look of pleasant surprise.
A moment later, the two women began to heal their wounds. Their injuries looked terrible, but they knew when to stop. For late-stage Constellation Realm cultivators like them, these were only superficial wounds that could be easily healed.
Ghost had completely calmed down. Lu Ye could even see that she was faintly looking forward to something, but he didn't know what she was looking forward to.
Curious, he asked Bai Lu, "What did you say to her just now?"
Lu Ye had a rough idea of Ghost's temperament. She was the kind of person who wouldn't budge even if she was led along. He just didn't know what method Bai Lu had used to appease her.
"I told her that the secret technique's effect isn't just to let us live and die together. If we cultivate together, the efficiency of our cultivation will also be greatly increased."
"You lied to her?" Lu Ye asked.
Bai Lu laughed, "No, it's true."
"Then she's profited!"
Although sharing life and death together was indeed a constraint, if it could greatly increase the efficiency of their cultivation, it wasn't unacceptable.
Lu Ye even suspected that if he had told Ghost about this from the beginning, she might not have refused.
Ghost's matter could be considered resolved. With Bai Lu here to constrain her, she probably knew what to say and what not to say after leaving this place.
Lu Ye said to Bai Lu with a straight face, "If you make similar decisions in the future, you'll have to discuss it with me first."
Bai Lu had acted arbitrarily today, undoubtedly knowing that he wouldn't agree. Although the result was quite good, Lu Ye didn't want something similar to happen again.
