I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 157 Blood Pact

The concept of "blood alliance" does exist in the world of Dragon Raja.

It's roughly about forging a contract by exchanging blood. Once the contract is complete, any act of betrayal by either party will result in a mental backlash. As for the effects of this backlash... it can force Xia Mi, who is the Dragon King, to revert to her dragon form and render her unable to fight for a certain period of time.

Uchiha Hikaru wasn't sure if this contract would work on her, an "alien."

but……

It doesn't matter.

She was somewhat interested in Xia Mi's power to find the "Eye of All Things," but not to the point of being determined to obtain it.

A living Xia Mi would be more useful to her than a dead dragon bone cross.

After all, there are many things that are inconvenient for Erii and the Snake Clan to do. With a Dragon King like Natsumi as an ally, it would be more convenient for Uchiha Hikaru to cause trouble in the Dragon Clan world.

"Can."

After both parties reached an agreement.

Uchiha Hikaru released the Tsukuyomi and returned to the capsule house with Natsumi: "What do we do?"

"It's very simple."

Xia Mi approached from the opposite side in a crawling posture, grabbed Uchiha Hikaru's right index finger with both hands, and slowly raised it to her lips: "It may hurt a little bit, but it will be fine soon."

As she spoke, Xia Mi grinned, revealing two small tiger teeth, and then took a big bite.

"Slurp—"

Although she looked a bit fierce, Xia Mi's movements were actually not very forceful. After biting her fingertip and sucking hard a few times, she opened her mouth again and licked the bloodstains on the corner of her lips with her tongue: "Hikari-neechan's blood does taste quite different from that of pure-blooded dragons... but it tastes much better than Constantine and Fenrir."

"?"

Next, Xia Mi also cut her palm and presented it to Uchiha Hikaru.

"that……"

Uchiha Hikaru hesitated for a moment: "Have you had a physical exam recently? There shouldn't be any viruses or bacteria in your blood, right? My body is a pure-blooded human now. Will drinking this kind of blood cause any problems?"

"..."

Xia Mi's lips twitched, her expression somewhat speechless: "Only mixed-race individuals with low bloodlines suffer from 'diseases.' The noble first-generation race doesn't have those concepts... Besides, exchanging blood is just a formality; even a light lick is enough. There's no need to drink too much."

"...Alright then."

Uchiha Hikaru stuck out his tongue and licked Natsumi's palm.

As the blood exchange was completed, an inexplicable force seemed to quietly appear in the air, enveloping the two of them before transforming into a faint glow and disappearing into nothingness. Compared to Xia Mi, the "glowing" that appeared beside Uchiha Hikaru was much fainter, but it was definitely there.

"Um?"

Uchiha Hikaru had a sudden thought: Could this contract really have an impact on her, a visitor from another world?

That's interesting; perhaps we could try to find a way to investigate it...

the other side.

Xia Mi watched this scene with some tension, then seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, a look of relief appearing on her face.

Honestly...

She has been under considerable pressure over the years.

On one hand, she was originally the weakest of the four monarchs, arguably the closest to a second-generation species among the first-generation species. In the last thousand years, she had been killed several times, causing her strength to plummet and almost losing her authority. Whether facing other members of her kind or the increasingly powerful human-hybrid society, she was somewhat powerless.

On the other hand, she also had to act as Fenrir's guardian, and in order to prevent Fenrir from revealing his whereabouts, she had to lock him up here.

It is surrounded by powerful enemies.

There's a mentally challenged child teammate who can only yell, "Sister, play with me!"...

Xia Mi was exhausted.

She had thought countless times about finding a time to kill and devour Fenrir, thus becoming Hela, the Goddess of Death, but she could never bring herself to do it.

But now...

This is the White King!

Even the power and strength that she had intentionally displayed in the previous battle already surpassed that of the Queen of the Earth and Mountains. If she could recover from her current human body to a dragon body... wouldn't she be a hundred times more powerful than she is now?

With such an ally fighting alongside me, there should be no need to devour Fenrir anymore, right?

Thinking of this, Xia Mi couldn't help but glance at her mentally challenged brother not far away.

At this time.

Fenrir had already come closer, cautiously glancing at Uchiha Hikaru, then at Natsumi, and began gently rubbing its head against their arms: "Sister, sister, play with me, play with me... Hikaru, Hikaru, play with me..."

"You're so disrespectful! You should use polite language in front of Hikari-neechan!"

Xia Mi gave Fenrir a sharp rap on the head and whispered a reprimand.

"..."

Fenrir covered his head with his wings, looking utterly aggrieved.

Uchiha Hikaru certainly wouldn't argue with a "child" over the issue of address.

After the siblings finished talking, she spoke softly, "By the way, Xiaomi, have you considered moving Xiaofen to a different place?"

"...I've considered it, but Fenrir is too conspicuous. As soon as I leave Nibelungen, I'll definitely attract attention. It's safer to stay here."

"……Too."

It is impossible to be safe.

But at this point in time, Nibelungen is indeed a safe haven. After all, according to the "script," Xia Mi and Fenrir's deaths should take place more than a year from now. The mastermind behind the mass resurgence of the Dragon Kings and the mass slaughter shouldn't be in such a hurry to deal with them.

"How about we connect a network cable here?"

"what?"

……

Xia Mi hesitated for a long time about teaching Fenrir how to use the internet.

Theoretically, there shouldn't be any problem.

After all, given Fenrir's intelligence, it's impossible for him to argue with people online or make any inappropriate remarks that would attract the attention of the cyber police... Learning to play a computer game is already a remarkable achievement for him.

and……

"I have a descendant in Japan whose childhood experiences were similar to Fenrir's. She only recently learned how to use a computer, so perhaps she could teach Fenrir. If you have anything you need to discuss with me, you can also have her relay your message."

Uchiha Hikaru was referring to Erii.

"Oh well."

Xia Mi nodded: "I'll be on summer vacation next month, so I'll stay here and teach him properly, so he doesn't see anything he shouldn't..."

In 2009, internet censorship in China was still quite lax; many things could be found directly online without needing to bypass the Great Firewall. For example, certain short films that could be made by just two or three people…

now.

Uchiha Hikaru suddenly had a thought: "Komi, can I ask you a question? Between you and Fenrir... who exactly was Attila the Hun who died at the hands of a woman?"
