Chapter 159
Due to their great fear on the Imperial Aphrodisiac, Long Juo and the whip men hesitated on whether to comply to Fang Xiushang or not.
Their new bodies felt a deep, instinctive fear of Fang Xiushang’s concoction. Their bodies felt a certain impending doom if they consume it.
“Oh… so you still don’t believe me huh. How about I give you all some pinches of it?” Fang Xiushang opened the vial and wafted some of the vapor on their faces.
Long Juo’s eyes widened as he felt something stirring inside his body. He felt a slumbering ‘ancient beast’ inside his body waking up.
The ‘ancient beast’ reared its head proudly, standing straight. Long Juo could only stare dumbfoundedly at his roused ‘ancient beast’. He felt like as if this ‘ancient beast’ gained a mind of its own. No matter what he did, the ‘ancient beast’ won’t just calm down.
Long Juo looked at the whip men, and he saw that they also had the same discomfort.
Long Juo’s ‘ancient beast’ suddenly felt irritable, as if it wanted to release something. Long Juo could only stare at his ‘ancient beast’ forlornly, because he does not know what to do.
As time passed, the irritation turned into agony as Long Juo felt the urge to release increasing. He and the others could only squirm in the ground uncomfortably, hoping to get that sweet, sweet, release. But no matter what they did, they could not make the urge go away.
“What you got right now was a miniscule amount of the Imperial Aphrodisiac.” Fang Xiushang smiled as he saw the reactions on their bodies. He was impressed by the results of his recipe.
It was just a trace amount, yet the effects were already like this!
After seeing their death, Long Juo sighed in relief, clearly happy on losing some of his enemies.
Fang Xiushang on the other hand, stomped on the ground., looking quite angry.
“A powerful bloodline? That Fang Lin has one? Unacceptable!” Fang Xiushang roared, as he made some tantrums on the ground. Long Juo could feel that Fang Xiushang’s mood turned for the worse as he continued cursing out Fang Lin and Fang Yu.
“I will look for that damned fatty and show him who’s the boss! As for that slut, once I find her… I will thoroughly enjoy her!” Fang Lin does not know whether to laugh or cry upon seeing Long Juo believing his act. He could only steel his nerves as he continued roasting himself.
After some more violent and lewd connotations, Fang Xiushang stopped speaking as he stared at Long Juo deeply. He had a hungry expression on his face as he said,
“Is it okay if I have some… fun with them before you give them to your leader?”
“Are you proposing… an alliance?” Long Juo’s eyes widened as he realized what Fang Xiushang wanted.
“Yes, I want an alliance.” Fang Xiushang had a righteous look on his face as he continued speaking. “I want to beat up Fang Lin and enjoy Fang Yu, while you want to give them to your leader. Since our goals are similar, teaming up is not that bad.”
Fang Xiushang waved his hand, wafting a green vapor on Long Juo’s nose. Once he inhaled it, Long Juo felt the effects of the Imperial Aphrodisiac disappearing. He stood up as Fang Xiushang solemnly said,
“I swear with my dao soul that if we successfully capture Fang Yu and Fang Lin and that I have some ‘good time’ with them, I will revert your gender back to being a female! If I renege on this promise, the heavens are free to smite my soul from existence!”
Long Juo’s eyes widened when he heard Fang Xiushang’s oath. From the looks of it, Fang Xiushang was dead set on having an alliance with her.
Long Juo then began to think deeply on Fang Xiushang’s offer.
“……..”
Right now, Fang Xiushang held the advantage over Long Juo. Fang Xiushang was the only one who can revert Long Juo’s gender back. One can say that Fang Xiushang do not even need to make an oath to force Long Juo to cooperate! He can just use the ‘gender’ card to make Long Juo follow him.
But Fang Xiushang had instead swore an oath with his dao soul! This made Long Juo suspect that Fang Xiushang has some hidden agenda.
But no matter what he thought, Long Juo could not come up with any other solutions.
“Fine, let’s have an alliance.” Long Juo swore with his dao soul to start their cooperation.
“……..”
Fang Lin could not help but give a pitying look at Long Juo who cooperated with him. One can say that Long Juo lost out big time from this alliance with Fang Lin who masqueraded as Fang Xiushang.
Why? It was because of the oath that Fang Lin said earlier.
In that oath, Fang Lin explicitly said that he will revert Long Juo’s gender if they manage to capture Fang Yu and Fang Lin.
That’s where the contradiction lies. Can Fang Lin even capture himself? And even if he can, will he even allow himself to get captured?
Because of that contradictions Long Juo will not have any chance of capturing Fang Lin, and that Long Juo will stay as a male for a moment.
Poor Long Juo.
Now, all Fang Lin had to do was to use his alliance with Long Juo to learn more about where he came from, and to use him as a pawn on fighting other fragment holders.
“Well then, follow me on my spirit ship. My followers will be talking to you there.” Fang Lin and Long Juo then opened the door of the spirit ship, marking the start of the one-sided alliance.
