Chapter 1272: How Can a Person Live Without a Heart
“Put it in writing!” Qi Jiaoyao pulled her hand downward, and a contract formed from divine power appeared out of thin air.
It was the first time Qi Xuansu had seen such a method, so he was slightly surprised.
Qi Jiaoyao said, “This is a Heart Demon Contract, an improved version developed by Elder Yao and True Lord Taiyin, inspired by Western Devil Contracts and our Eastern curse-binding arts. Each of us will infuse a drop of blood essence. Once the agreement is set, it’s equivalent to a sworn oath. Anyone who breaks it will suffer backlash. At best, you’ll lose cultivation. At worst, you’ll fall victim to a deadly curse.
“Oh, there’s one more condition. If I win and the Longevity Stone Heart truly exists, it belongs to me. You get nothing. If you win and there is no Longevity Stone Heart, then you get the Bone-Illuminating Mirror. What do you think?”
“Wow, you’re going this far? Didn’t you say we weren’t betting material things? Still, it doesn’t matter. If you’re so eager to give away your immortal object and become my daughter, I won’t object.”
After carefully reviewing the terms and confirming there were no issues, Qi Xuansu squeezed a drop of blood from his fingertip and infused it into the contract.
Qi Jiaoyao did the same, adding a drop of her own blood. Immediately, ghostly flames ignited from the bottom of the contract, and it burned away until nothing remained.
After sealing the contract, Qi Jiaoyao leaped onto the altar and moved to Wu Gu’s chest. “Watch closely!”
Qi Xuansu crossed his arms and floated into the air, watching indifferently, poised to gain both an immortal artifact and a daughter.
There was already a slit in Wu Gu’s chest, so no further incision was needed. With both hands, Qi Jiaoyao pried open the Great Witch’s chest cavity.
In an instant, a radiant emerald glow shone from within Wu Gu’s chest, illuminating Qi Jiaoyao’s face.
Qi Xuansu’s expression froze immediately.
