Chapter 636: Listening to the Wind and Rain All Night at the Small Building

Yuan Cheng, "Want to act, really want to act, want to crush him with one swipe!"

Bai Wei: Why don’t you do something, why are you not doing anything?

On the Huaishui River, both sides stared at each other.

Neither dared to make the first move, both wishing they could stab each other directly.

But, as everyone knows, a triangle is the most stable structure.

Yuan Cheng had already noticed the two heroic spirits on the shore watching them. He wanted revenge, but didn’t plan to risk his life here, especially with Xia Longque watching.

…Dragon Slayer!

She looked at the dragon clan as if it were a piece of walking pork.

If they attack, they will die, just like the Dragon King.

Heroic spirits, damn heroic spirits, cheating heroic spirits, go to hell heroic spirits!

Inside, the feelings and words were getting angry and aggressive, not good for children to hear.

But these are the words and emotions inside every creature facing the threat of heroic spirit.

The heroic spirit, born mysteriously into the world, is like bringing a coffin book from the past life. If there was a pyramid in the past life, there is also one in this life. The starting line was completely drawn from the past life, with no possibility of catching up in this life.

After all, others were big shots in their past life, maybe oneself was just ordinary meat in the past life.

Yuan Cheng didn’t dare to act, but couldn’t just let it go. Was he going to just leave after saying a few harsh words here?

Revenge must be taken, but it had to be done out of the heroic spirit’s sight, or else revenge would fail and one may end up as dragon meat sashimi.

Bai Wei also noticed the heroic spirit beside him, understanding why his defensive counterattack strategy had failed.

It’s not that my mocking was not strong enough, it’s that its survival instincts were quietly at play.

"Lord Zhong." Bai Wei called out.

Lu Yunchuan walked up to Huaishui, with one hand behind his back, looking confident. He thought that the young man approaching him must have intentions to downplay a big problem. At least he wanted to use his heroic spirit to intimidate the Dragon King and make it retreat, deal with the rest of the issue later…

"Please be a witness," Bai Wei said.

"A witness? Alright, I guess," Lu Yunchuan wondered, Is it a friendly witness? Are they going to shake hands while I watch on the side?

"You there," Bai Wei twirled a sword, "Do you dare sign a life and death contract with me?"

Lu Yunchuan, "?!"

A life and death contract, used for dueling on the stage, where the contestants take full responsibility for their actions and decisions, with life and death at stake.

In short, a one-on-one man-to-man battle on the road.

Yuan Cheng’s beard quivered, it was eagerly anticipating this outcome, but never expected Bai Wei to suggest it.

The life and death contract was very tempting to it, like a license to kill.

Bai Wei didn’t waste any time, he directly took out a piece of paper from his sleeve.

Lu Yunchuan finally came to his senses and immediately grabbed Bai Wei’s wrist, "Are you serious?"

Bai Wei handed the life-and-death agreement to Yuan Cheng, the contract was already written, "My name is signed, this paper is custom-made, the contract is custom-made too, the rules are all written on it."

Yuan Cheng quickly scanned the life-and-death agreement, there were only three simple rules written on it.

1. One-on-one, take responsibility for life and death, fight to the end; 2. The battle location is set at Hongze Lake; 3. There must be many spectators.

The first rule is easy to understand, the second and third rules are a bit mysterious.

Hongze Lake… but that’s the territory of the Black Dragon of the North Sea. Even if you win, you might not come out alive. What is this guy up to?

Xia Longque also walked closer, took the life-and-death agreement initiative to take a look, then grinned, she already understood Bai Wei’s plan.

"I’ll help make it official too." Xia Longque said. "Land General wouldn’t mind me joining to watch the battle at Hongze Lake, would he?"

"Audience, who specifically?" Lu Yunchuan asked.

"The four Dragon Lords," Bai Wei said calmly, "Whether the heroic spirit comes or not doesn’t matter to me. But if guests need to be pleased, then invite all four Dragon Lords – Lord Dongting, Lord Taihu, Lord Chaohu, Lord Qiantang…"

Including Ying Mu, Ao Hanli, and others.

Xia Longque, "Wow!"

She was a bit excited, was she going to publicly punish someone?

Even with so many people watching the battle, the situation still heavily favored Yuan Cheng with his absolute strength. It’s not just a matter of bringing in some cheerleaders. The louder the cheerleaders cheer, the worse it might be for the people on top… Incheon is like this, and so is Paris.

"Can we invite so many Dragon Lords?"

"We can, they love to watch the excitement," Lu Yunchuan knew these dragons well, they were usually idle and would definitely come for the fun. Besides, they should also come and see what Hongze Lake looks like now.

Is this a way to use the power of the four Dragon Lords to pressure the Hongze family?

Lu Yunchuan couldn’t figure out what Bai Wei’s true intentions were. He seemed to be up to something, and also seemed to be preparing for something else.

Bai Wei didn’t show any reaction, he just asked Yuan Cheng, "Will you sign?"

If Lord Hongze were here, he would definitely need to think twice. Although Yuan Cheng is not Lord Hongze, he belongs to the same family as Lord Hongze, even being his elder brother, showing care for the Hongze family, and they are closely connected.

But… what does Hongze’s situation have to do with me!

If I can’t kill him and seek revenge for my child, then what am I here for!

Yuan Cheng, in order to seek revenge for his son, would even jump into the trap despite knowing there is danger.

"Sign!"

Yuan Cheng transformed into a dragon, pierced his finger, and used his blood to draw a seal on the document.

The contract took shape, golden words floated up and turned into golden chains, one end locking Bai Wei, and the other end locking Yuan Cheng.

"The contract is sealed, those who violate it shall face a penalty of gold."

In the depths of Bai Wei’s eyes, a flicker of golden light appeared and disappeared, the binding power of the contract made from the Golden Power and golden tree bark was extremely strong. It could not force others to sign it, but once signed, it meant one could not violate it. Otherwise, their soul would be dissolved, consciousness erased, returning to the golden tree to become its nourishment.

Bai Wei was no exception himself.

However, the contract above made no demands on him at all, all were made by Yuan Cheng. He would definitely prepare diligently.

"How many days do you need?" Bai Wei asked.

"One day." Yuan Cheng replied coldly. "Clean your neck and wait!"

The black dragon soared into the sky and disappeared.

Lu Yunchuan said solemnly, "You are too impulsive. At this stage, there is no turning back…"

Bai Wei put the Crouching Tiger Sword into his sleeve. "The die is cast, it’s too late to say anything now."

"There’s still time." Lu Yunchuan shook his head. "At least you can make it… leave a seed."

Bai Wei, "…"

"Hahaha!" Xia Longque bent over laughing.

"There’s nothing funny. Facing a life-or-death situation, preserving your own genes is a biological instinct." Lu Yunchuan asked seriously and earnestly, "How about considering contributing to the national gene pool?"

Bai Wei couldn’t argue back. Surprisingly, this suggestion was more practical. It was much more realistic than getting married on the spot.

Xia Longque wiped a tear from the corner of her eye and teasingly said. Why make it so complicated? Isn’t this place a more suitable carrier?

Lu Yunchuan shook his head. "Dragons and aquatic creatures aren’t suitable. Humans are better. Those who aren’t human won’t work."

"As long as you’re happy." Bai Wei kicked the river, creating a path leading directly to an underwater dragon palace.

Xia Longque asked. Do you need to inform your family about this? Maybe let them have a look too?

"It will only distract me," Bai Wei turned away and raised his hand, waving. "In a day, everything that needs to end will end. Whether alive or dead, I can return without trouble."

The river closed up, and Lu Yunchuan cursed. Why say such pessimistic words, this boy is really stubborn.

Xia Longque looked down at the flowing Huaishui heading east and said. Tomorrow, Hongze Lake will be very lively.

"Too much excitement can lead to death," Lu Yunchuan rubbed his forehead.

Xia Longque touched her scabbard, her voice soft like a whisper. "Many, many will die, until…"

"Full of blooming red."

…

Inside the city of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

Chao Lu, who was reviewing documents and reports, heard a noise, she looked up and saw a figure emerging from the wardrobe.

She dropped her pen, ran over to him quickly, and hugged him tightly, like a cat curling up in his arms.

"You came to see me for something?" Chao Lu asked softly. "Didn’t you say you were very busy recently? What’s happening in the Ming Country?"

"I am quite busy, and the puppet may have to be temporarily reassigned. There are major events about to happen, so I might not be able to come here for a short time," Bai Wei said.

Chao Lu understood, saying, "Things are relatively stable here for now, so we don’t need you to come out just yet."

"I will perform a ritual tonight to create an impact, and then I won’t be able to return for a while," Bai Wei said. "I hope to delay it for some time."

"Alright," Chao Lu nodded. "We will discuss with Qingshu later, let me lean on you for a moment…"

While leaning on him, she asked. Do you have anything else to tell me alone?

"Yes," Bai Wei asked. Does Bai Ze retain a lot of inherited knowledge about the past in his memory?

"Yes, in the land of Zhongguo, Bai Ze can be said to know all, but that’s from ancient times," she replied.

"I need the knowledge from the gods," said Bai Wei firmly. "About Huaishui and the Four Rivers."

"I will tell you everything I know," Chao Lu said with a smile, tilting her head. "You can directly enter my inherited memories to search, which would be faster, but it would consume a lot of soul power. You need to tell me stories to help me fall asleep, or else it will take me a long time to recover."

…I suspect that this is an excuse, but I have no evidence and cannot refuse.

Bai Wei, "Alright then."
