Chapter 180: Deal with the devil
Chapter 180: Deal with the devil
Tianlong Yun approached the compartment and pulled away the dirty sheet separating it from the rest of the house.
Immediately a really cold atmosphere attacked him, it was like he was suddenly thrown into winter, even though it was still the middle of summer.
Just this atmosphere almost proved that his doubts were real, this girl really had what he thought she had. But he had to check her better anyway.
Approaching closer he took her jade white hand, put his forefinger and middle finger in her wrist, and sent a bit of Qi in her body.
Her mother was about to oppose his actions, no matter how grateful she felt, she wouldn't allow a stranger to touch her weak, sick daughter, but she was stopped from her son.
She didn't understand what was happening but there was one thing she knew, her son would never allow someone to hurt her or her daughter. So she decided to trust that and didn't say anything.
On the other hand, Tianlong Yun had a really weird look on his face right now, if only someone could look his face. He had turned his back to the kid and his mother.
He was stunned, it was real, this girl had the Profound Yin body of the legends. He was about to scream from happiness, but he managed to control himself. He couldn't do such a thing at this moment.
His joy came from the fact that the Profound Yin body was a legendary body for two reasons. The first, this body had no boundaries in cultivation, and as long as its owner cultivated, the breakthroughs were guaranteed.
The second and the most important to him was that if she stayed around him and provided him with her energy, his cultivation speed would be many times more than his current one.
Not to mention if he had intimate relationships with her, then he would be able to gain many more benefits. But he had to wait until she reached Lesser God realm, otherwise, he might destroy her Profound Yin body.
Her body wasn't beneficiary only to him, but also to his women, especially those like Tianlong Yue and Lu Bing that were cultivating the 'Profound Fire-Ice' cultivation technique.
The Yin energy she emitted was beneficial to all kinds of cultivators. If this body type appeared in the Immortal World, then even God's and Immortals would start killing each other to get their hands on it.
He had read about this body type only in the secret ancient archives of the Imperial Dragon Palace, and that was only three lines, giving these two reasons. Nobody knew more than this.
This was truly a stroke of enormous luck and favor that the heavens had bestowed upon him. He could never let this chance escape his hands.
Turning around he saw the worried and curious looks of the mother and son duo, and said firmly,
Tianlong Yun:" I just checked your sister's body, and I am sure I can help her kid. But now the choice is yours to make."
Huo Lan was shocked. Even though Tianlong Yun was directed to her she could hear his words. She was shocked by surprise and happiness. Her little girl could be saved.
But when she heard the last part of Tianlong Yun's sentence she was once again brought to earth, and startled she asked,
Huo Lan:" What do you mean it's up to him?"
The kid seemed to want to stop Tianlong Yun from speaking further, but he was too late because Tianlong Yun had already started talking.
Tianlong Yun:" Well actually it's up to all of you. Like I said earlier Lady Huo Lan, I am not a person who does well for nothing.
It's true that I can help your daughter with her disease, I can even help you and your son, live a better life, and away from this dirt. But all this has a price.
The price you all need to pay for this is your bodies, lives, loyalty, and souls. Think of it as a deal with the devil, only that I ask for much more than he does."
By the time Tianlong Yun finished his words, Huo Lan's jaw had dropped. She didn't expect such words from what seemed like a Young Master of a rich family.
She was truly happy that her daughter could be saved, but the price they had to pay seemed truly bizarre. She didn't know what to think anymore.
It was at this time that her son said full of decisiveness and firmness,
Kid:" Master, please just let me be the sole part of the deal, please."
Tianlong Yun was satisfied with the kid's behavior but that didn't mean that he would agree with that and said with an unfazed voice,
Tianlong Yun:" Only you or your life is worthless to me. I am asking for all of you. If you don't agree then we don't need to continue this anymore.
But let me say this, even if you offer yourself now and leave them here, how will they be able to survive? You just saw what might happen. I am just offering you this deal once, and I only need one answer."
The kid was stunned once again it was true, if he left them here, then their fate was almost sealed. If he couldn't help them, then there was no meaning to this.
At this time it was his mother, who recollected herself a bit and said,
Huo Lan:" Hun, me and your sister know how much you love us, and how hard you fight for us. We also know that you want the best for us. But this is the only choice we have.
I am sure that even if your sister was awake, and she could talk right now, she would plead for her to be the one who had to give everything, just so you could be free from all troubles.
At least accepting his deal, we can not only save your sister but also be able to stay together."
She didn't really like the idea of this deal, because in her eyes Tianlong Yun and the scum before had only one difference, and that was Tianlong Yun could help her daughter, while he could only pay her.
Actually, Tianlong Yun was even worse than him, because he didn't want only her, but also her kids. He was worse than that guy, but just like she said, they had no other choice.
The kid didn't like this situation and those conditions in the least. But they had no other choice. Tianlong Yun was the only one who had given them hope for their sister.
Thinking like this he said with a tired and beaten down, but firm voice,
Kid:" We accept your deal Master, from this day our bodies, lives, loyalty, and souls are yours. But you better not harm my mother or sister. Else, I swear that even if I have to destroy heaven and hell, I will never let you alone."
Tianlong Yun looked at him with an amused look and said seriously,
Tianlong Yun:" Of course, perhaps now it may sound weird and strange, but I can assure you, that someday you will look back to this moment, and understand that this was the best choice of your life."
Just like he said, this indeed sounded weird and strange to them. How could a deal that made them slave in body and soul to him, be a good choice?
The silence was broken once again by Tianlong Yun who asked,
Tianlong Yun:" By the way, what are yours and your sister's names?"
The kid seemed startled for a moment, it was only now that he understood, that they hadn't introduced themselves during all this time.
But recollecting himself he bowed a bit, and said reverently, after all, they had agreed to the deal,
Kid:" My name is Huo Ying Yong, while my sister's name is Huo Li, Master."
Tianlong Yun was a bit surprised that the kid used his mother's surname when he introduced them but remembering what he said earlier it was understandable.
He didn't care much about their origin, what he cared right now was that the Profound Yin body was in his hands. He had just made a great deal, that was why he said with a smile,
Tianlong Yun:" Very good names indeed. Now Huo Lan, prepare everything you need to leave this place as soon as possible. Take only the necessities for a day. You will have everything new by tomorrow."
His words stunned the mother and son duo, they never expected such a thing. They never cared about the benefits that Tianlong Yun said it will give to them, but now it seemed like everything was real.
Seeing their stunned faces Tianlong Yun just said as a matter of fact,
Tianlong Yun:" I already promised you that, and I don't go back on my words. Furthermore, from now on, you will live with me, at my house."
Again mother and son duo were shocked by Tianlong Yun's words. Especially Huo Lan, she thought she was just going to be a mistress together with her daughter to the same man, but now he was taking them to his house.
From the beginning until now, she was getting more and more shocked with each passing moment. What the hell was happening here?
Tianlong Yun could notice their shock, but that was just secondary to him at the moment, he just said simply,
Tianlong Yun:" You will understand everything later, firstly you need to go there."
Then turning towards Huo Ying Yong he said,
Tianlong Yun:" While you will send me to Captain Mao, I really need to talk to him."
Huo Ying Yong hearing Tianlong Yun's words said immediately,
Huo Ying Yong:" Yes of course master, but.."
He couldn't finish his words because they heard some clamor outside the house
