Chapter 164 – Blood Spirit Contract!

“Hurry, hurry…”

“Master, give it to me quickly…”

Xiaobai squirmed in Qin Yang’s embrace, her soft fox body like marshmallow, her fluffy tail teasingly brushing against him. “I want the Hair Growth Pill, hurry up~”

As she spoke, a few more strands of fox fur fell from her head…

“Now you’re in a hurry?”

Qin Yang deliberately teased her, withholding it on purpose.

“Quickly, Master,”

Xiaobai bounced restlessly in his arms, opening her fox mouth to gently bite Qin Yang’s arm, mumbling: “If this Fairy really goes bald later, I’ll really bite you hard!”

“Tsk, fine, I’ll stop teasing you. Eat up.”

With a flick of his hand, Qin Yang produced a porcelain bottle and tossed it onto Xiaobai. He watched as her pink tongue pried open the stopper, gulping down all the pills in one go.

Instantly, her hair follicles regenerated, and the bald patches grew back white fox fur.

“Phew… that’s better.”

After swallowing the pills, Xiaobai touched the top of her head, her whole body going limp as she nestled contentedly in Qin Yang’s arms and fell asleep.

Time flew by, life in the library was mundane.

As closing time approached, Qin Yang stood before the time clock, punched out right on the dot, and walked out of the library’s main entrance.

The sunset glow on the horizon gradually faded, hurried commuters filled the streets. Qin Yang strolled along the road, man and fox weaving through the hustle and bustle, when suddenly a car horn sounded.

Turning to look.

A red convertible sports car was parked at the corner, Xia He wearing large black sunglasses, one hand resting on the steering wheel, exuding flamboyance.

Beep—

“Get in, Old Qin! I’ll give you a ride.”

“What brings you here?”

Qin Yang had long sensed Xia He’s presence but pretended to be surprised, opening the car door and sliding in. “What’s the good news today? Something put you in such high spirits? Did Platinum Ocean close down?”

“Pfft, am I that kind of person, Old Qin!”

Xia He turned his head, starting the engine and reversing out of the parking space. “Don’t joke around, right now your buddy here is aiming to become the Jianghai Sword God! Women would only hold me back from getting stronger!”

“Tsk, what nonsense are you spouting now?”

Qin Yang laughed, the evening breeze rustling by his ears as he rested his hands behind his head, leisurely saying: “Always so flighty, never serious about anything.”

“Hey! You can’t say that, Old Qin!

At least I’m one of the Jianghai Sword God’s three thousand disciples… You don’t know, but the old master displayed his mighty power in Sword God Valley yesterday!”

Xia He stopped the car, waiting for the traffic light countdown, vividly describing:

“He tore open a rift in the sky with his bare hands, summoned the cosmic power to bring down divine punishment, then purple energy came from the east, mobilizing all the swords in the world to annihilate the Grandmaster Realm! Damn. So cool, he’s practically my…”

“Wait, stop! Don’t say anymore.”

Seeing Xia He getting more and more excited, Qin Yang quickly interrupted, his whole body breaking out in goosebumps, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

If this kept up,

he’d soon be like a little heifer riding a rocket—

bullshit soaring to the heavens!

“Sky shattered, earth cracked, and ten thousand swords annihilating…”

Qin Yang looked at Xia He puzzled, asking: “Where did you hear all this? How come I didn’t know about it?”

“My colleagues told me! Is there a problem?”

Xia He made a left turn while driving, enviously saying: “The information is absolutely reliable! They were stationed at Sword God Valley at the time and even assisted Elder Li in resisting the Demonkin attacks!”

As he spoke, he added with some regret: “If I’d known during yesterday’s shift rotation, I would’ve transferred to the canyon too. I skipped it to slack off and ended up missing the Sword God’s move…””Really picking up the sesame seeds but losing the watermelon, now I can only listen to their descriptions.”

“Ah!”

He sighed.

That expression looked as if he’d missed out on a fortune.

“…”

Hearing this, Qin Yang was utterly speechless.

Good grief.

Who would have thought every single member of the Star Martial Police Department were such fervent “Sword God fanboys”!

They really have a talent for exaggerating facts.

If this kind of bragging continues with everyone parroting each other, the next version of the story will probably be even more outrageous…

“By the way, Old Qin, there’s another piece of good news I need to tell you.”

While holding Xiaobai and admiring the night street view, Qin Yang suddenly heard Xia He speak from behind. Then Xia He freed one hand and tossed over a Police Badge.

On the cover.

The star emblem shone brilliantly, with one more golden star than before.

“Didn’t expect it, did you? Your buddy got promoted!”

Xia He raised his head, brimming with pride: “How about it? This new badge feels awesome, right? Fresh out of the oven!”

“Congratulations.”

Qin Yang nodded in congratulation, flipped through the credential a few times, then returned it to Xia He, “You’ve worked hard these days, fighting against those Demonkin.”

“You bet! Running around on the edge of life and death every day, my legs are almost numb from all the walking.”

Xia He said with lingering fear: “On several missions before, I was really walking shoulder to shoulder with death, almost didn’t get to see you again, Old Qin.

Yesterday the Commander specially applied to headquarters for me, got me directly specially approved for promotion, feels absolutely amazing!!”

“Not bad, I’ll be relying on you from now on, your future is boundless.”

Qin Yang laughed.

He genuinely celebrated for Xia He from the bottom of his heart.

Having a higher rank in the Star Martial Police Department means not having to risk life and limb in frontline operations like before.

For Xia He, this was undoubtedly a great thing!

Just then.

Screech—

Tires braking.

Qin Yang looked around and found the car had stopped in front of the Jianghai Grand Hotel, momentarily stunned.

“Why are we stopping? Keep driving!”

“Less talk, Old Qin, get out. We’re celebrating my promotion today, us brothers are going to eat our fill!!!”

……

……

Northwest Grassland, Huaxia Nation.

A biting cold wind swept across the vast plains, bending the wild grass.

Majestic snow-capped mountains stretched continuously.

A magnificent hall stood atop the mountain peak.

Whoosh—

A Black Shadow broke through the wind and snow, entering the deepest part of the palace, immediately dropping to one knee, bowing low and presenting a letter in hand.

“Reporting to the Celestial Venerable, Wu Venerable has fallen in Jianghai.”

As soon as the words fell, the letter slowly floated forward, the void cracked, and layered black mist began to permeate the hall.

A withered hand reached out from the mist, took the letter, then slowly withdrew back into the fog, like a wandering ghost.

The silent hall remained soundless.

After several breaths.

“Jianghai Sword God?”

A hesitant voice came from within the black mist, “Who is this? This Venerable has never heard of him. Could he be from the Supreme Alliance?”

“Reporting to the Celestial Venerable, this person appeared in Jianghai recently!”

The informant bowed his head, explaining in a low voice: “In recent days, he has intervened multiple times to save Jianghai, his fame has exploded online, covered in honors, and many have already elevated him to divine status.”

“Online divine status? Just the revelry of ants.”

The voice from within the black mist was low, “As long as it doesn’t interfere with our plans, pay it no mind!”

“But… Celestial Venerable…”The informant raised his head and hesitated, “Wu Venerable is only one step away from the Supreme Realm, yet Jianghai Sword God could make him fall with just a clone. He must have already broken through to the Supreme Realm.”

“Haha, excellent! Since the Supreme Alliance dares to openly violate the Blood Spirit Contract, then everything becomes much easier.”

A voice emerged from the black mist, sinister and ruthless.

“If they’ve allowed a Supreme to interfere in mortal affairs, then don’t blame our Divine Sect for being merciless!!”
