Chapter 240: 145 Why Didn’t You Say It Earlier! (Third Update)

Fang Yuyang and Bai Ye both realized what Fang Yuxin was about to say, so each of them became guarded. Fang Yuyang gripped the handle of his knife tightly and discreetly summoned his superpower within his body. Bai Ye did the same, knowing that whatever Fang Yuxin was about to say must be extremely important. If the two sides couldn’t reach a consensus, they’d probably end up in armed conflict!

He didn’t want things to escalate to that point, so he was curious and anticipatory, wanting to know how Fang Yuxin would choose.

After hesitating for a moment in her heart, Fang Yuxin debated whether to kill Bai Ye or use some other method. Thinking of Bai Qianqian, she couldn’t bring herself to harbor a killing intent toward Bai Ye. Since meeting him, Bai Ye hadn’t done anything to harm her. Like Fang Yuyang, she just couldn’t bring herself to kill Bai Ye outright.

But she absolutely couldn’t let anyone know her secret, so she couldn’t do nothing.

Thus, after hesitating, she said, "I know that with your intelligence, you must have guessed I have a space. As long as you swear a Blood Oath, promising never to be my enemy in this lifetime, and never to reveal my secrets, I will let you go."

Bai Ye silently sighed in his heart. Although this wasn’t the outcome he had hoped for, the situation wasn’t too terrible. At least Fang Yuxin was offering him a choice, rather than trying to kill him outright.

But what exactly was the Blood Oath?

He intuitively knew that the Blood Oath must be something out of the ordinary and certainly wasn’t something to agree to rashly. So he asked, "What is this Blood Oath? What restrictions will there be after I swear it?"

Fang Yuxin quietly breathed a sigh of relief, as Bai Ye asking indicated he was already inclined to agree rather than straight-up refusing. She knew that a Blood Oath was not something people took lightly. But her secret was too extraordinary; unless Bai Ye swore the Blood Oath, she couldn’t trust him.

She explained, "As long as you don’t become my enemy and don’t tell others my secret, this Blood Oath will have no effect on you. But if you ever break the oath, it will backlash upon you."

Bai Ye glanced at Fang Yuyang, who was ready to spring into action, and laughed self-deprecatingly, "So it seems I don’t have any other choice, do I?"

Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang instantly became vigilant, thinking Bai Ye might refuse. But to their surprise, he said, "I will not be your enemy, nor will I divulge your secret. If a Blood Oath is what you require for trust, then I will swear it."

Hearing him say this, Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang’s emotions became complex. If it were them in his place, they would surely be deeply unwilling. Bai Ye came across as a proud man, yet he was agreeing...

The siblings didn’t know if Bai Ye was sincere or feigning agreement, so they didn’t completely let down their guard. Fang Yuxin was the first to prick her finger, squeezing out a drop of blood, and began to chant a complex vow, crafting a Blood Talisman. Then she had Bai Ye cut his finger and mix a drop of his Essence Blood into the Blood Talisman.

Throughout the process, Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang were on high alert, watching Bai Ye closely, fearing he might suddenly attack. By contrast, Bai Ye appeared quite at ease, apparently unworried.

It was only after Bai Ye recited the oath as Fang Yuxin instructed, and the Blood Talisman entered his Sea of Consciousness, completing the Blood Oath, that the siblings finally relaxed completely.

Then, Fang Yuxin reassured Bai Ye once more, "Don’t worry. As long as you do not violate the oath, the Blood Oath will have no impact on you, I promise."

Bai Ye, noticing her anxiety, shook his head nonchalantly, "You don’t need to explain. Since I’ve sworn the Blood Oath, it shows I’m willing to trust you."

Fang Yuxin furrowed her brows, uncomfortable with Bai Ye’s casual demeanor.

However, she felt relieved that things had gone smoothly. Seeing Bai Ye not pressing further about her secret, she began to think more highly of him.

Fang Yuyang took the opportunity to suggest, "We shouldn’t stay here long. Let’s leave quickly." He was worried Qiu Yiming might return.

Neither Fang Yuxin nor Bai Ye objected, and they headed to where the motorcycles were parked. After getting on the bikes, they rode back to the commercial street. By this time, Fang Jintang and the others had almost finished picking through the remaining supplies. Shang Jinxiu’s space was nearly full, leaving no gap, and the roofs and rear seats of their vehicles were also laden with supplies.

As for the remaining goods, Fang Yuxin decided not to take them.

They didn’t linger, quickly leaving the place and heading to a nearby ruin, planning to seize the opportunity to excavate all the Elemental Stones.
