“Master?”
‘Uh. Does she harbor strange feelings for me after using my flesh and blood? Is there such an intimate way to address a master? Judging from her look, she is not trying to play some kind of ethically forbidden game, is she? It sounds exciting, but…’
Alex backed off unconsciously.
At that moment, the blabbermouth, Grandpa Hammer, directly mentioned the Life Sacrifice. During the conversation, it even said that Alex had received a great advantage. The Titan Tribe’s lifespan was several times that of a human, meaning Alex would greatly increase his lifespan.
At the same time, the Titan Tribe’s specialty was high body strength. Once the bloodline was activated, the physical body would be a supreme magical treasure.
Since Alex had received the Life Sacrifice, his body strength would continue to be enhanced with the passage of time, and he could reach up to half of the strength of the Titan Tribe.
However…
“What are you talking about? Are our lives merged? If she dies, will I die too? You’ve got to be kidding me. Wouldn’t that mean I have to worry everyday about dying anytime?”
Alex immediately jumped up upon learning the biggest flaw of the Life Sacrifice.
Jade flicked her fingers and hit Alex’s forehead. “You unfilial disciple… Are you cursing your master to die early? I just saved your life! You would’ve been long dead without my Life Sacrifice! I should be aggrieved! I will also be dragged down by your death.”
“Who says I’m going to die soon?”
“It did.” Jade pointed at the Martello Celia.
Alex was truly dejected! He was well aware of his body. He had Ymir’s Divine Bone, Yin-Yang Chi, Yellow Obsidian Chi, and the True Martial Marrow. In addition, he had constructed a Zharvakko talisman in his body before he fell into a coma. As long as he spent a little time recuperating and healing his injuries, he would recover from all the injuries.
However…
Alex was speechless about Jade’s action.
Even so…
“You bast*rd hammer, don’t spew nonsense if you don’t know anything. Who’s going to die?”
“I’ll make it clear. I was feigning death while maximizing my life energy to heal my injuries. My body is full of treasures, and my recovery ability is extremely rare, but because of this bast*rd’s Life Sacrifice, I… I’m going to melt you down and turn you into a scale.”
Jade was stunned. It turned out to be a misunderstanding.
Jade was startled. “What’s going on? Who else can control your fate?”
Alex said, “The Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens. I signed a master-servant contract with her. Once she dies, I will die too. Then…”
“I’m going to die too?”
Jade was restless. The fate of two people suddenly ended up being the fate of three. The risks had just increased exponentially.
“You’ve got to be kidding me. How could you sign such a contract?”
“What else could I do? The situation was urgent at that time. I would die if I didn’t sign it.”
“Then, what should we do now?”
“I don’ t know either.”
After thinking for a while, Jade said, “I have an idea… Imprison the Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens, and don’t let her out. What do you think?”
