"My patience is limited. I am unwilling to kill you. Hand over the items, and you may choose your own path to survival."

The Corpse Demon's chilling eyes looked down at the woman, his gaze like a cold, sharp blade that pierced straight to the heart.

The sense of impending death washed over her like a surging tide. The woman raised her eyes, filled with resentment, to meet the gaze, refusing to back down.

A defiant flame burned in her eyes, as if she were declaring war on the threat of death.

Several decades have passed since she began her spiritual practice under Mei Yan's tutelage.

During this time, she has grown into one of the top people in this world.

From then on, she traveled to various secret realms, bravely exploring all kinds of dangerous places.

Her actions were not for rapid advancement in cultivation, nor for pursuing the elusive Great Dao, but for the deep affection she felt for her father.

Her mother had told her that her father was gone, no longer in this world, and would never come back.

She had asked her master about it, but he was always reluctant to bring it up, though he had hinted that her father would never come back.

But Yu Shuiwei refused to believe it. She stubbornly insisted on using her own methods to search for her father's figure in this world. Even the slightest clue would be the driving force for her to continue her search.

By chance, she learned that in this desolate northern land, there was something that could connect to the void and allow travel across realms. Therefore, she traveled thousands of miles to this place, disregarding all dangers, and resolutely ventured into the deepest part of this desolate land.

Along the way, she encountered countless hardships and dangers. She fought desperately against all kinds of ferocious monsters and struggled to move forward in harsh environments. Every step was filled with blood and tears.

After going through countless hardships, she finally obtained the legendary item that could cross realms, but before she could leave, she was surrounded by the corpse demons that had awakened in this place.

The situation is now a matter of life and death, but I am unwilling to let her hand it over.

That was the hope she had endured countless hardships to obtain, the only clue to finding her father. How could she give it up so easily?

"I'm willing to exchange my things for yours," Yu Shuiwei said firmly.

"What do you have that makes you worthy of exchanging your things for mine?"

Upon hearing this, the Corpse Demon instantly stretched into an exaggerated and mocking smile on its hideous face, letting out a piercing sneer.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The laughter seemed to come from the depths of hell, carrying endless chill and contempt.

His lips curled up, revealing a row of sharp, yellowed teeth, and his eyes were full of disdain and contempt for Yu Shuiwei, as if mocking her overestimation of her abilities and her naive foolishness.

Yu Shuiwei knew perfectly well that none of the magical treasures she possessed could compare to this cross-dimensional object, but she still had one more thing.

"Give me your life in exchange for three years. I will make a blood oath with you, and I will return in three years. At that time, I will make you my master and you my slave, and I will serve you for life."

Yu Shuiwei's voice was steady and resolute, and there was no trace of hesitation in her eyes.

The Corpse Demon was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Yu Shuiwei to exchange her life for his.

But then he sneered, "Which of my guards isn't incredibly powerful? Which one is inferior to you? What do you have to offer me?" His words were like ice blades piercing Yu Shuiwei.

Yu Shuiwei calmly replied, "Because I am human, and they are corpses, what I can do, they cannot. I am a prodigy of the human race, and I think you can see my talent. Isn't it an honor to have such a prodigy as your servant?"

Her gaze was fixed on the Corpse Demon, her eyes revealing confidence and pride.

One of the most important reasons why the Corpse Demon didn't kill Yu Shuiwei was her terrifying talent.

Such a brilliant and talented person must have come from the careful tutelage of those top-tier old monsters.

If we kill her, it will surely invite the mad revenge of those old monsters.

Even though he was powerful and fearless, he was too lazy to deal with the many troubles that followed.

However, Yu Shuiwei's words truly touched him deeply.

He has been trapped in this desolate place for many years, never venturing into the outside world, and knows nothing about the outside world.

Now that a new chaotic era is about to begin, and all sorts of powerful figures are emerging, he has also begun to consider leaving, which is why he chose to awaken at this time.

If one could have a top human prodigy as their servant, they would surely be awe-inspiring and attract attention when they went out.

However, the only concern is facing the backing of the girl's forces.

The Corpse Demon did not give an immediate answer, but slowly lowered its head and fell into a moment of thought.

His already somber face appeared even more grave at this moment, his tightly furrowed brows seemed to bear a thousand pounds of weight, and his gloomy eyes were deep and dark, making it difficult to fathom his true thoughts.

But from his shifty eyes, which occasionally revealed a hint of relaxation, one could roughly deduce that he would most likely agree to Yu Shuiwei's proposal.

Yu Shuiwei felt no regret whatsoever for making this risky move.

Deep in her heart, if she could truly find her father, then all of this would be worthwhile.

At that very moment, two stunningly beautiful women appeared silently above the heads of the man and the demon.

"Did you bring me here just to see this boring stuff?"

Qin Hongyi's brows were tightly furrowed, her face filled with displeasure and irritation.

"Don't you think this little girl is interesting?"

Since arriving here, Yan Xuanshi's bright eyes have been drawn to Yu Shuiwei as if by a magnet, never leaving her.

That focused and infatuated expression suggested that Yu Shuiwei possessed some mysterious and unique charm that deeply attracted him.

Upon hearing this, Qin Hongyi's beautiful eyes filled with doubt and scrutiny as she carefully examined Yu Shuiwei from head to toe.

However, after looking for a long time, she still couldn't find anything that interested her.

"He's just a slightly more talented prodigy."

Qin Hongyi curled her lip and said nonchalantly, her tone carrying a hint of disdain.

Upon hearing this, Yan Xuanshi turned to look at her, her eyes filled with a hint of helplessness.

Seeing that she genuinely hadn't noticed anything amiss, he couldn't help but feel a surge of uncontrollable amusement.

The corpse demon below seemed to have finally finished his consideration. He slowly raised his head, his gaze piercing, staring directly at Yu Shuiwei, and said in a deep and majestic voice, "Since that's the case, I will give you a chance to follow me and serve me as your master."

Immediately, the Corpse Demon swiftly formed hand seals, his expression solemn, and he focused intently on preparing to form a blood oath with Yu Shuiwei.

But at this critical moment, an extremely untimely voice quietly rang out in the surrounding space.

The sound seemed to come from the depths of the endless void, carrying a kind of ethereal, illusory, and mysterious charm.

"The seeds she sows today, will you dare to reap the fruits of her labor tomorrow?"

Although the sound was not loud, it was as clear as a great bell and entered the ears of both the human and the demon.

The voice seemed to carry an invisible yet heavy pressure, like a mountain pressing down on one's heart.

The Corpse Demon's expression changed drastically, and he quickly looked around.
