Chapter 627: Chapter 459: Blood Oath - Must it be blood from there?_2

"It was me who saved that mermaid princess, and I have the leads on that trafficking gang. Guess what will happen if I use this as a bargaining chip to ask City Hall to conduct a joint operation against you? Do you think they’d agree?"

Liu Zheng sneered with a sinister smile.

"Are you crazy? Such a big advantage, just to go against us?"

The Yaksha looked at him as if he were a madman, while feeling a deep sense of envy.

If it were an ordinary citizen, City Hall wouldn’t even give him the chance to bargain, whether merits could offset demerits would be uncertain.

After all, although he saved the mermaid princess, he was also a buyer, guilty like the sellers.

But because Liu Zheng is an employee of the Bloody Restaurant, and the buyer behind is the Bloody Restaurant, City Hall couldn’t prosecute him.

Of course, envy aside, she wouldn’t really let her people apply for a job at the Bloody Restaurant.

The population of dark elves in the Metropolis is already at the reproductive red line; they can’t afford such depletion.

More importantly, what if the person sent makes a mistake and gets turned into a dish, and then the Bloody Restaurant finds the dark elf meat delicious?

Thinking about that consequence sent a shiver down Yaksha’s spine.

"I’m a madman to begin with; where would you find a normal person working at the Bloody Restaurant?"

"Of course, I also don’t want to waste such a valuable opportunity. So, choose."

"Will you be my friend or my enemy?"

Liu Zheng leaned against the car door, looking perfectly confident.

The Yaksha’s dark green pupils locked onto him, her muscles tensed, and magic churned within her.

As the highest-ranking dark elf witch, her martial skills and magic were equally formidable.

The opponent’s aura was weakened to the extreme; she was confident she could stab out his heart with one thrust or destroy his mind to turn him into a fool that only ate and excreted.

Theoretically, Yaksha should kill Liu Zheng.

Because Liu Zheng prevented them from obtaining the body of the Wood Elf Royal Family, impacting the sacred sacrifice.

The Yaksha had already felt the wrath of the Lord of War; as long as they sacrificed this rare Black Mountain Goat Cub hybrid to Him, even if the effect wasn’t as good as the Wood Elf Royal Family’s body, it wouldn’t be too lacking.

However, if they managed to kill the opponent, that was fine; if the opponent managed to escape, the dark elves might face even bigger troubles than when they broke into the Slave Market.

"How can you become my friend?"

The Yaksha restrained the urge to kill and said.

The dark elves are a ferocious and bloodthirsty race, but they are still a high-intelligence race, and the Yaksha was among the most outstanding of her kind.

So, even though she wanted to get rid of the annoying human in front of her, she chose to weigh the pros and cons.

"It’s not me becoming your friend; it’s you becoming my friend. It’s simple, just escort me back to the restaurant."

Liu Zheng said.

"Ha?"

The Yaksha widened her already large eyes, the dark green pupils flashing in the dark, like an owl’s.

"You want me to escort you back to the restaurant?"

She wondered if she had heard wrong.

"That’s right. If you think you’re not strong enough, you can call your people over. I’m not in a hurry; I can wait for you."

Liu Zheng said considerately.

The Yaksha looked at him, momentarily lost for words.

She once again got a new understanding of the shamelessness of the human race.

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll take the chance to kill you?"

After a moment of silence, the Yaksha asked.

"Rather than have you lurking in the shadows watching me, I’d rather have you out in the open accompanying me."

Liu Zheng said.

The Yaksha had to admit, the human made a bit of sense.

"If I escort you back to the Bloody Restaurant, what benefit do I get?"

She thought and said.

"How can you talk about benefits when friends help each other? But, I could give a friend a gift. Let me think..."

Liu Zheng pondered, then had a flash of inspiration.

"Right, does your sacrifice just need a corpse?"

He asked.

"Of course not, it must be a tribute worthy of the great Bloodhand Kane. And, there are strict requirements on the shape of the body, the manner of death, etc."

The Yaksha retorted.

"Then see if this works?"

Liu Zheng took out the golden body fragments of the old monk from the Legendary Takeout Box.

"That’s, the golden body of those martial monks?"

The Yaksha said, shocked.

"Whether they’re martial monks, I don’t know; they sure fought well, though."

"You dared to offend those Metaverse monks, do you know how vengeful they are?"

The Yaksha said instinctively.

But speaking out, she regretted it, as it seemed like she was concerned about the human.

"Vengeful as they may be, let them try blocking the restaurant’s door if they have the guts. I’d love to collect more parts; maybe I can assemble a Gundam or something like EVA."

Liu Zheng said nonchalantly.

He had no idea how many local thugs in the Metropolis he’d offended, being chased to a broken place like the Metaverse, what kind of cookie was that bald donkey.

"Hmph, Bloody Restaurant..."

The Yaksha opened its mouth but still didn’t say anything disrespectful.

"So, what do you think, is this okay?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"This is not flesh and blood, and it’s too scattered. Not only is there no fresh blood, but the scent of death is also very faint..."

The Yaksha picked out a bunch of faults.

"But it’s still usable, right?"

He interrupted the Yaksha.

"I never said that."

"Stop pretending, if it can’t be used, just say it can’t be used. Picking out a bunch of faults but not leaving means you seriously want to buy it."

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes and said.

"Arrogant human."

The Yaksha looked displeased but didn’t retort.

"If it works then it works, if not then let’s fight. Looking at your size, you must be a leader, can you speak and act decisively?"

He was a bit impatient.

"I, the chieftain of the Metropolis’s Dark Elves, the most favored bride of Bloodhand Kane, Yaya Maleris, accept your gift and offer you my friendship."

The Yaksha took out the Blood Dagger from beneath and pointed its tip at Liu Zheng’s face.

"You don’t mean to form a Blood Oath with me, do you?"

He spoke with difficulty, staring at the blood droplet on the tip of the dagger.

"That’s right. Drinking each other’s blood is the ceremony for us Dark Elves to form a friendship."

The Yaksha said.

In fact, Dark Elves do not like making friends, so the ceremony to form a friendship is very complex.

But in the Metropolis, efficiency is paramount, so everything is simplified.

Besides, she wasn’t really planning to become friends with Liu Zheng; it was more akin to a truce agreement.

"Um... can I choose where the blood is taken from?"

Liu Zheng asked tentatively.

"You can, but you can only choose from your own body."

The Yaksha said.

"Sigh, fine then."

He sighed and accepted reality.

At times like this, he would comfort himself, having eaten so much crap, what else couldn’t he accept?

Liu Zheng licked the blood off the tip of the dagger. It was slightly salty with a faint hint of spice, but he couldn’t identify what spice it was.

"Could she have just taken a bath?"

He thought with a strange expression.

"Your turn."

The Yaksha said.

"Alright."

Drawing blood was no big deal for Liu Zheng, so he stabbed himself in the chest and pulled it out.

"Here."

He handed the dagger to the Yaksha.

The Yaksha nodded, then inserted the dagger entirely into her mouth, drinking in one go.

"So when exactly are you taking us to the Great Jiang Mountain?"

She asked after pulling out the dagger.

"Soon, soon, maybe this week."

Liu Zheng replied perfunctorily.

"You better not try to back out. To Dark Elves, betrayal is as serious as blasphemy."

The Yaksha warned.

"Don’t worry. I won’t."

If by a week’s time he still hadn’t gone to the Great Jiang Mountain, it would probably mean the instance was being settled, and if they had the guts, they could come after him in the real world or the next instance.

"Human words, huh."

The Yaksha shook her head and leaped to the passenger seat.

"What are you doing?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"What? Do all you humans let ladies be the coachmen?"

The Yaksha retorted.

"What coachman, it’s called a driver. Forget it, no point explaining to you Immortal Species."

He shook his head, got into the driver’s seat, then started the engine and drove toward the Bloody Restaurant.
