Chapter 44 Ma Rou's Rouge Fragrance [Seeking Monthly Tickets for Further Reading]
"Interested in yourself?"
Li Tianran's heart tightened.
A night breeze blew by, carrying the faint scent of rouge from Ma Rou's body into my nostrils.
Being targeted by this voluptuous and mature woman is not a good thing.
The saying "To die beneath a peony is to be romantic even as a ghost" doesn't exist in the Demonic Sect.
The female cultivators of the Demonic Sect will only kill you, crushing your bones to ashes and scattering your soul.
He suppressed his inner vigilance and remained outwardly calm.
"It is my honor to receive your attention, senior."
"Heh, you're probably making up all sorts of stories about me."
Ma Rou changed the subject.
"Tell me first, what is this more important information you mentioned?"
Li Tianran stopped wasting words.
"Seven days later, the Heavenly Sword Sect will attack our sect."
Ma Rou paused for a moment.
She remained silent for several breaths before speaking.
"Where did you get this information? Are you sure? If not, I'll throw you into the icy pond to be food for poisonous toads."
Li Tianran was already used to it.
The stewards of the Blood Spirit Sect are all highly capable individuals who make the best use of their talents.
They either bury people as fertilizer or use them as fodder for monsters.
"This disciple only knows about this matter, but not the specifics."
Ma Rou's eyebrows twitched slightly.
"If it was said by the female cultivator from the Heavenly Sword Sect that you captured, then it does have some credibility."
She twirled the blood-red jade slip between her fingers.
When he spoke again, his tone became indifferent.
"and then?"
"Are you just telling me this news?"
"The Heavenly Sword Sect has attacked the Blood Spirit Sect more than once or twice. This has no impact on me."
Li Tianran said sincerely, "This disciple hopes that senior can protect this disciple during the war."
"I can help you destroy Master Han's Foundation Establishment puppet."
Ma Rou chuckled softly.
She took a step forward.
Li Tianran could clearly see her full breasts, and the strapless top was decorated with black lace trim.
The pressure of the Foundation Establishment stage crushed my chest.
Each breath he took felt like weightlifting, but his voice didn't tremble.
"Senior Ma, if I wanted to harm Bloodfang Valley, I wouldn't be standing here now."
The reason I came to find you is that once Old Demon Han's Foundation Establishment puppet is completed...
The position of vice sect leader is hers, and Bloodfang Valley will be the first place she takes over.
I was able to enter the secret chamber and decipher the blood pact patterns; the patterns on that puppet were also carved by me.
On the day of the attack on the mountain, I can help you destroy that Foundation Establishment puppet. Without the puppet, Old Demon Han will lose his trump card in the competition for the vice sect leader position.
You've been competing with her for three years; this is your best chance.
Ma Rou looked into his eyes and spoke softly.
"Oh? You said you can enter the secret chamber and decipher the blood pact patterns."
Did you carve the blood pact patterns on that Foundation Establishment puppet?
Why should I believe you? You're not sent by Old Devil Han to test me, are you?
Li Tianran: "If I were one of her people, would you still let me speak?"
This statement is neither too light nor too heavy.
The oppressive aura emanating from Ma Rou stopped.
She looked at him for several breaths.
Then she tucked the blood-red jade slip into her sleeve and a smile bloomed on her face.
His eyes held a mixture of admiration and calculation.
"Ma Wencai is right, you are indeed a smart man."
I acknowledge the role and value you can provide.
I am a businessman; I don't consider the other party's character or whether they are friend or foe.
You couldn't have taken such a big risk just to help me.
What do you want?
What do you want from me?
Li Tianran looked up, his tone firm: "I want freedom."
Ma Rou was taken aback for a moment.
"free?"
Having cultivated for so many years, she has made many deals with people.
Some want spirit stones, some want high-quality toad hearts, and some want materials from monsters in Bloodfang Valley.
She was used to even those who wanted her body.
But no one ever told her that she wanted freedom.
"Isn't all you want the Blood Transformation Technique?"
"Can!"
As long as you help me destroy that old witch's Foundation Establishment puppet...
I'll give you the Blood Transformation Technique, and the freedom you desire.
Ma Rou's tone also changed, no longer showing the previous disdain.
She took out a tiny jade slip from her sleeve, held it between her fingertips, and handed it over.
"Take it."
The jade slip was entirely black, half the length of the communication jade slip, and had a ring of extremely fine blood-red lines engraved around its edge.
"The Foundation Establishment puppet that the old witch refined had a node at its core where spiritual energy circulated before the blood jade was embedded in its soul."
If a sufficiently strong corrosive spiritual force is injected at this point, the puppet will disintegrate from the inside.
This restriction was specially crafted by someone I had made; it's designed to counter the core of the Blood Puppet Technique.
On the day of the attack on the mountain, while she is fighting with the cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect, you just need to stick this restriction jade slip on the blood jade groove on the back of the puppet.
The greatest success would be to destroy her Foundation Establishment Puppet.
As for killing her? That would be too difficult; there's no need to consider that.
Li Tianran took it and nodded.
Ma Rou paused for a moment: "As for the Blood Transformation Technique, you don't need to go to the old witch's secret chamber to find it."
I can give you the first half first; the second half, after I take over the position of deputy sect leader, I will give it to you then.
Li Tianran exclaimed in surprise: "The first half of the Blood Transformation Technique?"
He hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise.
Ma Rou is indeed a person of great taste.
She definitely saw herself as a transactional object.
Li Tianran accepted the jade slip without hesitation.
He knew very well that destroying the puppet would be a difficult task.
Once you accept the offer, there's really no turning back.
If you don't accept the offer, you'll only face certain death.
When Li Tianran touched her fingertips, he felt a warmth.
The moment they touched, neither she flinched nor he flinched.
The jade slip was slightly warm in his palm, and the blood-red lines on its edges pulsated gently as if they were alive.
"The other half, I'll give it to you after it's done."
If there's anything you need my cooperation with, just let me know.
We will provide you with as much as possible what you need in Bloodfang Valley.
Don't contact me again. If you need anything, go directly to Ma Wencai. I'll talk to him privately.
Li Tianran was overjoyed.
Bloodfang Valley raises so many poisonous monsters and beasts that many of its materials are extremely valuable.
He's currently worried about not having enough spirit stones.
"Thank you, senior. If you need anything, I will contact Senior Brother Ma."
Ma Rou gave him a deep look: "Don't mess with my silly nephew anymore."
Li Tianran said awkwardly, "How could that be? Senior Brother Ma treats me like a brother. I'm eager to repay him."
"Yes, I hope so."
She instructed, "I will look for you on the day of the attack on the mountain. It will be a pleasure working with you."
talking.
Ma Rou extended her right hand, waiting for him to take her hand.
Li Tianran grasped it.
Soft and warm, with a faint scent of rouge.
This is what a normal woman's hand looks like.
Unlike Han Laomo, you could feel a chill even three steps away from her.
"Go back, and pretend nothing happened tonight."
Ma Rou withdrew her hand.
She turned and walked into the depths of the shadows, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Li Tianran stood under the withered locust tree.
He looked down at the pitch-black jade slip with its restrictive seal in his hand.
The first half of the Blood Transformation Technique is in hand!
He originally thought he would have to sneak into the secret room to get what he wanted, but now he has half of it ahead of time!
