Wild Dogs

"What can I do? I originally used a sword."

"You've sealed off all my spiritual energy and meridians, so I have to use these things to bite and scratch."

She glared at Yang Fan and sat down angrily to the side.

Seeing that Yang Fan remained unmoved, she pounced on him again and began to bite him.

Yang Fan glared at her.

"Didn't I say that as long as you help me refine the elixir, I will give you your freedom, and it will also be very beneficial for you?"

Qi Peilan nodded.

"You said you'd give me a lot of benefits, but who knows if you'll go back on your word?"

"What if you succeed in your cultivation and then turn around and kill me? What can I do?"

At this point, Qi Peilan herself began to feel aggrieved.

She hugged her legs and sobbed incessantly.

"I'm just a young woman who came out here simply to gain some experience and earn some spirit stones to spend."

"I'm ostracized in my sect now, and you're bullying me here. I'm so unlucky."

As Qi Peilan spoke, she wiped away her tears, but at the same time she secretly glanced at Yang Fan.

Yang Fan witnessed this scene.

Yang Fan chuckled.

"Alright, stop playing the victim. I brought you here, and although it's been a form of confinement, I've never made things difficult for you."

"What else do you have to say?"

Seeing that Qi Peilan was about to say something, Yang Fan pointed at her seriously again.

"And let me say it again, think about it carefully, I really have mistreated you these past few days."

"You still have what you're supposed to have, right?"

"I've also told you before that as long as you honestly help me cultivate, you'll definitely get your share of the benefits once it's done."

Yang Fan then patiently guided him.

"Alright, as long as you refine the pills for me now, I'll pretend that what happened today never happened, how about it?"

Qi Peilan shook her head repeatedly.

"That won't do. Who knows if you'll turn on me after you recover?"

"So what are you going to do?"

Yang Fan looked at Qi Peilan with some displeasure.

"Are we just going to stay in this stalemate like this? My injuries aren't good, and you're acting recklessly."

Qi Peilan gritted her teeth.

"It's very simple, I'll seal all the meridians in your body too."

"That way, once you've recovered, we can remove the restrictions from each other's bodies."

"So, this is considered fair? Well, do you dare or not?"

Qi Peilan looked at Yang Fan provocatively.

Yang Fan took a deep breath and frowned as he pondered.

The proposal doesn't sound like a big deal, and it seems fair to both sides.

Yang Fan was somewhat displeased, as he had originally held all the initiative in his own hands.

Now, because of his injury, Qi Peilan has taken the initiative.

This made him feel immediately embarrassed.

Yang Fan then shook his head.

"That won't do. If we keep blocking each other off like this, we'll both starve to death here in a few days."

Yang Fan pointed to the Bigu Pill in front of him.

"We only have a few Bigu Pills left, and we've sealed them all up. Who's going to hunt spirit beasts now?"

Qi Peilan remained silent for a long while.

Yang Fan lowered his voice again.

"So you should do as I said before: as long as you step back now, I'll pretend this never happened."

But Zippelan absolutely refused.

After a long pause, Qi Peilan made up her mind and looked at Yang Fan.

"How about this, we'll form a blood pact."

"Then we'll use a blood pact as a basis to guarantee each other's safety. That's fair, isn't it?"

Qi Peilan looked at Yang Fan.

After pondering for a moment, Yang Fan lowered his voice.

"What is a blood pact?"

Zippert was speechless.

"You don't have any teachers or mentors, do you?"

Yang Fan sighed helplessly.

He had many teachers, but ultimately, none of them were proper masters.

Almost every one of these masters was taking advantage of him and never treated him as an apprentice.

Therefore, he had never heard of blood pacts before.

Seeing that Yang Fan had no idea what a blood pact was, Qi Peilan rolled her eyes and began to explain.

"A blood pact is a contract that neither party can break once it is established."

"A contract that neither party can break?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan scoffed.

"I don't believe that kind of thing."

Upon hearing this, Qi Peilan began to explain.

Seeing that Yang Fan was getting impatient, Qi Peilan spread her hands.

"Alright, since you don't want to hear my explanation, let's quickly draw up a contract."

"I will teach you how to draw up a contract, and once the contract is drawn up, we will do it according to the contract."

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Fan let out a cold laugh.

"You don't think I'm stupid, do you?"

Yang Fan stared intently at Qi Peilan.

"Judging from how happy you are, I can tell you're up to no good."

"You said you wanted to make a contract with me, but will you really do what's in the contract?"

"Also, I don't even know what a blood pact is. If I make a mistake out of nowhere, then it will be my problem."

Upon hearing Yang Fan's words, Qi Peilan's face immediately turned bright red.

"Who said I had bad intentions? I just wanted to see if you understood blood pacts."

Seeing Yang Fan staring at her coldly, Qi Peilan coughed lightly, feeling somewhat helpless.

"Okay, I did lie a little, but this blood pact can definitely be made."

Then Qi Peilan took a deep breath and explained to Yang Fan in detail what the blood pact was.

"A blood pact is a contract jointly established by two parties with their blood essence as the foundation, talismans as the base, the divine consciousness of both parties involved, and the Heavenly Dao as the supervisor."

"If anyone dares to break the contract, Heaven will completely eliminate the party that breaks the contract without anyone else having to do it."

Seeing Qi Peilan's earnest gaze, Yang Fan's heart stirred.

This might be true.

But then, Yang Fan frowned.

"This stuff is really that effective."

Upon hearing this, Qi Peilan nodded repeatedly, her expression extremely serious at this moment.

"I'm serious. Once a contract is established, it is bound by the laws of Heaven and will never be changed."

"Unless your strength surpasses that of the Heavenly Dao."

Then, she lowered her voice.

"What, young master, do you think my strength is greater than that of the Heavenly Dao?"

Yang Fan thought for a moment and then shook his head.

"That's not the case."

Qi Peilan raised her head.

"That settles it. As long as you are willing to sign a contract with me, things will be much easier from here on out."

"In this way, we'll each go our own way, sign the contract, you go your way, and I'll go mine. We'll part ways here."

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan shook his head firmly.

"No, I'm injured right now and need someone to help me heal, so I'll have to rely on you."

"If you leave, who will guarantee my safety?"

Yang Fan had no objection to the signing of the contract, but he still had other ideas about its contents.

Qi Peilan was speechless for a moment, staring at Yang Fan with gritted teeth.

"You really think I'm your slave?"

Yang Fan nodded.

"That's how it was before, but since we've come this far, and since you've seen my weakness, then I'm not unwilling to back down."
