Dual Cultivation God Returns-Chapter 647 Pact
647 Pact
"Pray tell... What is that proposal you speak of?", she spoke with both suspicion and curiosity.
"I originally planned to help gradually heal the injury whatever it was, in exchange for an alliance, that would last at least until we return to our former places in the world.
But now that I know who you are, I will add a deal sweetener, I will help you get revenge on the Spiritual Beast God Sovereign, and you help me against my enemies"
His words caused her eyes to widen, and for a moment reveal a strong emotion as the world around them became a bit unstable, part of the scenery revealing lush green scenery and another a desolated desert before becoming normal again.
And then a wry smile appeared on her face.
"Heh, you meant to say that it is a deal sweetener for you? you get to add one, albeit powerful and influential, but still one enemy, while I have to add countless, some of them much more troublesome than mine?", she asked with a tinge of being speechless at the level of scam in this proposal.
"Your Highness~... those are details. I agree that the amount of trouble we have is disproportionate, but the ability to deal with that trouble is yet again so. If you could, you would not be hiding in this place with poor Spiritual Qi and almost no access to the resources that you need to heal. The fact you do is signifying that you were driven to such dire straights, were you not?"
Wu Long chuckled, not denying that this deal was at least very profitable to him. However, his words caused her to reveal a bit of frustration as she could not refute them.
"And no matter how long you spend taking the Dew of Life from the Tree Spirit, you will not get better. You will only be successful in keeping your injury from getting worse", he then added as she clenched her teeth in an aggrieved expression.
"To produce the Dew of Life a Tree Spirit has to sacrifice part of their cultivation, which only grows with time and is not influenced by anything else.
Thus it would not be able to grow more powerful while constantly supplying you with that precious medicine, with all of its progress being continuously reset to produce what you need" He patiently explained what she already knew but did not wish to think about.
She was stuck, unable to recover, and unable to go somewhere that she could actually get the resources to recover, as she was hunted down.
"Then what about you? How can you help me heal then?", she said as she looked at him with suspicion.
"Haha, by doing what I do best", he chuckled.
"Hahaha, nope", he lightly laughed, shaking his head while she tilted her head.
But then her eyes revealed a slow realization as they widened.
"D-Dual Cultivation? Y-you want to sleep with me?!?!", she exclaimed with shock as he laughed again with a glint of mischief in his eyes.
"Hahaha, it is an alliance of interests, Your Highness.
You do know that a female Celestial Fox's Soul Bead is a purely Yin-attributed entity, right? Dual Cultivation is actually the most potent way for you to recover"
He explained as her mind grew numb from the unexpected proposal.
"But not every Yang Qi is potent enough to be of use for you, and not everyone can provide it stably enough. By cultivating together we will both profit.
I will receive your powerful Celestial Fox Yin Qi and progress in cultivation.
And you get progressively stronger and stronger Yang Qi from me, recovering as we grow back to our previous strength at roughly the same speeds"
He continued with the explanation to the frozen-still beauty who started to see the gist of his proposal and its allure. But...
"And how do you propose we do that if I cannot leave here to follow you? If I could leave I would not be so stuck", she narrowed her eyes.
"Here is the beauty of my proposal. The reason you are hunted with precision is because the Spiritual Beast God Sovereign, being of the same Fox family of species, can sense your Soul Bead through the Heavenly Daos wherever you hide.
But he could not detect you here in a Fractured World, until, that is, the Heavenly Daos have reconnected just a month or so ago. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Of course, for now the connection is still not completely stable, but come next Autumn or Winter, or maybe even later, but still not that far in the future, and he will be able to find you again" frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Wu Long spoke as the eight tails of the fox had their fur slightly stand in fear.
"But low and behold, there is a place where your Soul Bead would not be detected by him", he then turned to her, "which is in my Niwan Palace"
"Y-Your Soul Sea?", she widened her eyes, and then instantly understood that he was right.
Wu Long's Soul Sea was too powerful for the Heavenly Daos of almost any Boundless World to see through.
"But... wouldn't that be placing my life into your hands? How is that better than what that bastard wants to do?", she then narrowed her eyes as placing her Soul Bead inside his Soul Sea was akin to giving him absolute authority over her, surrendering her life and death to him.

"But... wouldn't that be placing my life into your hands? How is that better than what that bastard wants to do?", she then narrowed her eyes as placing her Soul Bead inside his Soul Sea was akin to giving him absolute authority over her, surrendering her life and death to him.
"The Spiritual Beast God Sovereign wants you to become his concubine, or rather his slave, while I offer an alliance. You can always refuse in case you do not wish. To give you more assurance, I can propose we make a Soul Pact, to ensure that this is not coercion under threat but an alliance of interests. However, as I will stake a lot of what is precious to me, as well as the lives of my allies in this alliance, I want it to be not a Pact of Equals, but one slightly skewed in my favor.
This way you will have an assurance that I will act in your best interests, and I will have an assurance that your whims don't bring harm to anyone that I do not wish to be harmed"
He smiled as she narrowed her eyes, thinking over his proposal.
It was quite generous considering the circumstances she was in, as she looked at him with a pondering expression which he found quite cute.
"But I will have my freedom still, right?", she asked as he chuckled, nodding.
"Of course, we will not go for the Slave Pact, just instead of 50-50 it will be more like 51-49", he said looking her in the eyes.
"Fine... let's make a deal then", she nodded and Wu Long smiled toward her.
He formed a complex pattern in front of him with his Soul Power and Spiritual Qi, as she did the same.
The two patterns collided, and as soon as both confirmed, passed through each other, and connected by an ethereal-looking thread upon emerging on the other side started shrinking and approaching the spot between the eyebrows on their foreheads.
Wu Long's pattern went inside the Niwan Palace of the Celestial Fox while hers went inside his, submerging within the Soul Sea.
And then, a glowing pure white bead with slight pink shapes swirling inside of it started materializing in front of her.
Wu Long could see a spiderweb of cracks on the bead, his face becoming solemn as he could tell how much pain that injury must have brought when it was made.
The bead fully materialized and then went inside his Spiritual Sea space, shining above the surface.
She slightly widened her eyes as she felt some kind of comfortable feeling enveloping her.
"I look forward to our future relationship, Your Highness", he smiled, though she had a subtle feeling that his words had a double meaning she could not discern.
She shook off that doubt and looked in the eyes.
"Fen Baihu..., call me just Fen Baihu... there is no longer a Clan of which I was a Princess of", she then added.
Wu Long's eyes widened with surprise bordering on shock.
"That bastard sold us off for political gains... to the Human God Sovereign, and so Three Sacred Empires of your Human Race and the Dusk Fang Coyotes... our old enemies, have decimated our territory while my Father and all my brothers, were all lost in the flames of war...", Fen Baihu spoke with intense hate coming through in her voice, continuing with clenched fists "...and then had the audacity... to still want me to serve him..."
She spoke as Wu Long was processing her words.
The Clan she spoke of, the Mystic Fox Clan was a Major Power and yet it faced, what sounded like an almost total annihilation. This was a huge development, the likes of which did not happen just any day, which could be a sign of a larger change taking place in the Seven Boundless Worlds.
"Our Pact is now complete, and thus you can now be certain of getting your revenge, Fen Baihu. You have my word"
As he spoke in a calm and measured tone, her heart jumped with joy, as now she had the word of the God of Slaughter.
She then sighed, as she once again remembered what she promised in exchange. And though there were no regrets, she could not avoid feeling a little nervous.
"You don't need to feel so apprehensive, and no need to rush. Let's get to know each other better so that you feel more comfortable with me before discussing anything further. Although we do have an agreement, it doesn't mean we have to treat it like it is a gruesome obligation", he smiled at her, and a wave of relief washed over her from his words.
"Come, I'll introduce you to my Dao Family", he then chuckled, and her eyes became as wide as they could be.
"D-Dao Family?! You?! The God of Pleasure?! D-did I get duped by a look-alike?", she spoke with a voice full of shock and disbelief.
"Hahaha, change can happen to anyone, Fen Baihu", he lightly laughed at her reaction, turning on the spot.
Her image blurred and turned into a miniature fox with eight fluffy tails, that could fit on Wu Long's shoulder, where she jumped on with little hesitation to which he only smiled.
Their surroundings blurred, turning back into a blizzard, and the two sped off into the distance.
Not to worry everyone, she's for the main harem ^^
It's just the way of introduction ^^
Thank you so much for reading and your incredible support everyone!!!
