Chapter 200 Swearing an Oath (2/2)

Ruan Tang took the jade pendant, weighed it in her hand, and then looked at An Sanchuan, whose face had turned ashen.

Do you want to live?

An Sanchuan suddenly looked up, a glimmer of light flashing in his empty eyes, like a drowning person grabbing onto a piece of driftwood, and nodded desperately.

Ruan Tang showed the jade pendant in her hand and was about to walk forward.

Yan Yu, who had been silent, reached out and took the jade pendant from her hand.

His movements were natural, but his rough fingertips brushed against her warm palms intentionally or unintentionally, bringing a slightly itchy and tingling sensation.

Then, he used his large, dry, and hot hands to completely envelop the jade pendant.

He looked at Ruan Tang, his eyes clearly conveying a message: I'll do this dirty work.

Ruan Tang felt a sweet warmth welling up inside her. She gave him a sweet smile before saying to An Sanchuan, "This is a Heavenly Oath Talisman. Bite your fingertip and drip a drop of your heart's blood onto it."

Her voice was soft and sweet, but the weight of her words could crush a person.

"Swear by blood that you will serve us as your masters, live and die together, and never betray us. If you dare to have any disloyal thoughts, Heaven will show you what it truly means to be unable to live or die."

An Sanchuan did not hesitate for a moment.

Let alone shedding blood, he would give up his life right now, just to escape that life in the gutter!

With his last bit of strength, he raised his hand and bit down hard on the tip of his index finger.

Crimson blood beads instantly appeared.

He dragged his heavy body and staggered to Yan Yu, pressing his bleeding fingers tremblingly against the cold jade tablet.

The moment the blood droplet touched the jade pendant, a sudden change occurred!

"Sizzle—"

With a soft sound, the ordinary white jade pendant suddenly burst forth with a dazzling white light!

The natural golden patterns on the jade pendant seemed to come alive, transforming into countless fine golden lines that greedily devoured the drop of blood!

An indescribable pressure emanated from the jade tablet and spread out with a roar!

The flame of the oil lamp in the room was pressed tightly against the wick, and the leaping flame in the stove also instantly shrank.

Little White on the kang was already terrified, its fur standing on end. It let out a short squeak and buried its head in Ruan Tang's arms, only daring to peek its little head out from Ruan Tang's arms. Its big black and purple eyes were wide open, looking at her with a mixture of surprise and fear.

An Sanchuan's legs went weak under the pressure, and with a "thud," his bones groaned as he was forced to kneel on the ground!

"Okay, swear it now."

Ruan Tang's clear, cold voice seemed to come from the heavens above, striking directly at his soul.

An Sanchuan jolted awake, suppressing the tremor deep within his soul, and with all his might, he shouted hoarsely:

"I, Lin Muchuan, hereby swear! From this day forward, I will serve Yan Yu and Ruan Tang as my masters, take their lives as my own, follow their wishes as my own, live and die together, and never betray them!"

"If I break this oath, may I be struck down by heaven and earth, my soul scattered and my spirit never to be reincarnated!"

He paused, then used the last of his strength to add another sentence.

"I, Lin Muchuan, hereby swear that in this lifetime I will never again do anything that harms the interests of the Yan Kingdom or endangers my compatriots! If I violate this oath, I will also be subject to the extreme punishment of Heaven, and never be redeemed!"

The last word fell.

The jade tablet in Yan Yu's hand suddenly shone brightly!

A solid golden beam of light shot into the sky from the jade tablet, piercing through the roof and into the dark night sky! (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
