Chapter (6) The Turn Of Events (3)

It wasn't easy to recruit a merman who was of the royal bloodline and moreover it was also a mentally retreat merman! Hey Tian Xing Hong, did you think this was a dating sim system or something! Do you want me to travel together with a branch of mentally retreat idiots in the future?

'This old lady refused the quest, hmph!'

[ Ding! Do you want to give up the task? If you refuse to do the tasks issue by the system, your skills, tittle and other related resources will disappear! ]

[ Do You want to refuse the task?

- Yes

- No ]

Lan Xia Yu was blankly stared at the sand ground as she pondered on her mind what she really needed to do, although she didn't relay on the system completely once she received a new skills, she only practice those skills with her innate talent so she can use them anytime even without the system. The real problem lied in the title which gave her buffs like abilities, for example the Shinning Rookie tittle which would deal additional 50% damage once her Physical health reduced to 50% and the blessings such as Tian Xing Hong's Curse Contract which could turned her body to a immortal immune to all curses.

Although she had the confidence to defeat her opponent currently, it would better be safe than sorry. She needed to relay on the system for a while before she ascend to the immortal realm and became a ture immortal and she needed it to find the god's relics. 'Right now I'm only at the lowest level of food chain. I need someone to protect me after existing the secret realm'.

"Sister Lan, what are you doing? It has been a while but why are you standing there blankly?".

Lan Xia Yu snatched back to her sense as she looked at Gao Liang with a calm and mysterious expression as she smirked secretly in her mind, "You... really want to know...?", when Lan Xia Yu acted like that Gao Liang couldn't help but dying to know what was inside her mind. She had an idea how to use the curse contract, she purchased from system store. A few days ago, she had obtained the privilege to open the system store. She also obtained a talent inheritance from Tian Xing Hong as a reward for her hard working ass!

Unlike the tittles which she got from the system, inheritant talents were very useful because they were added to her own, she could use them whenever she wanted even if someday when she got rid of the system. Tian Xing Hong's inheritant talents was very useful for her and it was also a Extraordinary talent which could form curses contracts with every living beings including demonic beasts and spiritual plants but she needed to craft the curse contract with a piece of her soul.

Although this was the first time she would be using it, she felt like she could do it confidently.

Her face turned very serious as she looked at Gao Liang eyes with a hint of pity, "Gao Liang, do you want to become stronger?". The answer Gao Liang give her was what she exactly want.

"Of course, everyone want to be stronger if I have a chance, I want to be stronger too".

"That's right, you have to become stronger. As a life long friend and your boss, I will help you with your goal!", She grinned as she couldn't control her mischievous thoughts and Gao Liang face which was serious a while ago turned pale as he shaked his head constantly like a chicken and want to break free from her grip as if he was struggling for his life.

"Don't worry Liang Liang, I promise it won't hurt!", Goosebumps appeared all over his body and why did he felt like he was a young maiden who was bullied by a rich young master!

Gao Liang didn't know when it was but a black scroll floated beside her and the words on the scroll were written by pure gold liquid as they emitted a faint golden halo. Lan Xia Yu made a hand seals and Gao Liang couldn't move his body anymore. In front of his eyes, Lan Xia Yu pulled out a dagger with black runes and a blue diamond was imbued on it curvy handle. The dagger body was like a crescent, but it was a curse sword, one of it abilities was to amplify any curses who came in contact with it. Once you were wound by this sword, your very own blood flowing inside your body would be curse and it was like adding fuel to fire.

Lan Xia Yu grapped Gao Liang's wrist and cut a shallow wound, a few drop of blood flowed out from it and the drop of blood float towards the black scroll beside her as if the blood possessed a mind of it own. The blood was quickly absorbed by the scroll and it emitted a blinding light.

"Are you willing to travel together with me? I will protect you and made you stronger than ever but you must not betrayal me because betraying will cost losing all of your power".

[ Hidden Trait 'Unconditional persuader' has been actived ]

[ Unconditional Persuader - Hidden Trait

- Your opponent will trust your words unconditionally once you persuade them.

Note - This trait would active only when the opponent is weaker than you ]

At that time in Gao Liang's eyes, Lan Xia Yu was like a god or immortal which could turned the heaven and earth as she please with a flip of her hand. He felt he could even reach the top and became an immortal only if he would followed her.

Gao Liang eyes were filled with hope and anticipation as he replied, "Yes!'.

An eight-pointed black star appeared on the back of Gao Liang's wrist with sizzling sounds as the same time a star shape stigma which was similar to Gao Liang appeared on her wrist but the eight-pointed star on her wrist was a little bigger than Gao Liang and it was golden in color.

Lan Xia Yu smiled with satisfactions and said faintly, "Now we only need that merman blood to form a contract with you".

"Can someone really form a contract with a merman?".

She sighed and answered Gao Liang's question with a very sorrowful expression, "Normally we can't but this one is different because he was a Mix-blooded demonic dragon. If you made a soul contract with him, you will gain a very powerful spiritual beast. He could even help you to directly improve your cultivation base"

She stepped on Qi Hai Liang's body a little bit harder than before, "Ouch....it hurt...stop!"

"Shut up and give me your heart blood"

"Noway, I won't....ah..wait..ah...!", before he finished the words, they were swallowed down to his stomach as Qi Hai Liang faced with powerful attacks of her leg. There was the screams of Qi Hai Liang's excruciatingly pain voice echoed inside the ruins.

"Wait..let me explain! If you made a contract with me you will wake him up and all of us would really be in a big trouble!".

She had a doubt related to Qi Hai Liang, although he was a half-breed dragon, he had the precious bloodline of royal merman but he was only a little bit stronger than a normal foundation establishment cultivator. From her point of view, He was even weaker than Gao Liang, a wandering cultivator.

She wasn't saying Gao Liang was weak but if it was for a royal bloodline of merman clan she could tell that Qi Hai Liang was weak. Maybe it was because of his psychologiscal trauma or disorder. Anyway, she could control him once he made a contract with Gao Liang as she had planned.

Her plan was simple, she form a soul contract with Gao Liang as his companion and she could share some of her inheritant skills and benefits with Gao Liang but she could choose what she wanted to give him. In return she would also got benefits from Gao Liang whether he's willing or not because she was that of a superior position in the contract. There was also a condition, he could not hurt each other directly or indirectly so she didn't need to worry about Qi Hai Liang's betrayal as long as Gao Liang was alive.

If she wanted to disolved the contract with Qi Hai Liang, she would not surfer any backlash in any way as an indirect contractor. As for Gao Liang, it was beneficial to form a contract with one of the mythical dragon species. She helped Gao Liang to get stronger in return she got to have some benefits and she also thought it was a fair trade for the two of them.

After arriving in this world, she firmly believed that you had to pay a price for what you desire and nothing was free. It's just that the prices were different respectively according to their goals and ambitions. Afterall, one has to bear the weight of the crown if one want to sit on the throne. Although there were exceptions, she was not that lucky enough to have the so called 'exception'. It was only for the strong and she was still too weak to spare exceptions to anyone.

Cut to the case, she guessed that Qi Hai Liang was not lying judging by his expression, he seemed to be really afraid of something.

"Hey Qi Hai Liang, if you don't want to be in trouble, you better spill out everything!".

Qi Hai Liang was hesitating but as soon as he saw her solemn expression, he explained everything. "It wasn't because of the great war between the three realms that our clan extincted but because of a single person and that person who destroyed everything is me but not the real me".

She snored coldly and said slowly, "Everything shall be the past, what I need is not a weakling who will drag me down". She inserted the curse dagger into Qi Hai Liang's heart as fast as the lightning, the curse dagger absorbed the blood from his heart like a glutton.

A flaming red symbol appeared between Qi Hai Liang's eyebrows, his fish ears turned to that of an elf she had seen in movies which she watched in her world. His finger nails were slightly sharp but they hold the power that could even destroyed an immortal weapon. Blood red pupils glanced towards her, those eyes without a hint of emotions were like two black holes sucking out people's soul, devouring and destroying everything in the world.

"Ha..ha...ha.., finally This king is free from that idiot, Qi Hai Liang! You guys must be the ones who awake me with this dagger. This king will grant you a peaceful death as a reward!"

At the same time, there was a system notification popped up in front of her with bold red letters on it screen.

[ Warning! Warning! Warning! You had awaken one the the three disaster dragon, the abyss dragon! Quickly subdued the disaster within ten minutes! Failure to subdued the disaster will be result with your dead! ]

'Are you f**king with this old lady? You want me to subdued a disaster class dragon within ten minutes!'

Okay, she would not complain anymore, things will not change by complaining to the system! She had prepared for all kind of surprised. It seemed the system was becoming more and more unreasonable as the time goes by. At this rate, she could die even before she collected all the relics.

Lan Xia Yu looked at the man..ah no the dragon calling himself 'this king' with fish eyes and sighed softly, "I have never imagine that dragons could also have a mental illness".
