After I stopped trying, a rich woman trained me into a demon emperor.

One female cultivator said, "Pure Yin Ancient Law Blood is too rare. It would be a waste to use it only for disciples to nourish themselves."

Another person chimed in: "By using ancient laws to please the eye, Penglai can open another path to the Heavenly Corpse."

Xu Changling stood by the bed, remaining silent for a long time.

Finally, he only said one sentence.

"Don't kill her."

The screen falls apart.

Xu Youwei's lips had lost all color.

She didn't cry, but instead gripped the broken hairpin in her palm even tighter. The tip of the hairpin dug into her flesh, and blood trickled down between her fingers.

As Zhou Ran looked at the fading old shadows, the coldness in his eyes gradually subsided.

The debt owed to Penglai is even dirtier than he originally calculated.

Xu Youwei suddenly chuckled softly.

"It will not harm any lives."

"They really know how to take care of people."

Zhou Ran said, "Go ahead and curse if you want."

Xu Youwei shook her head.

"Even after I finished cursing, it's still inside me."

She turned to the female figure on her right.

"If I die, can the eye injury be removed?"

The woman in the right hand said, "Yes."

Zhou Ran looked at her.

The female figure on the right added, "The Moon Emperor will take it back."

Xu Youwei then asked, "What if I give it to Zhou Ran before I die?"

"A 30% chance."

That's enough.

Xu Youwei raised her left hand and pressed it against her right wrist.

"I do."

Zhou Ran's expression immediately turned cold.

"Shut up."

Xu Youwei's words were cut off.

Zhou Ran stepped closer to her.

"I pulled you out of the well of bones, not to let you die somewhere else."

"But Lin Qingxue's eyes..."

I'll take her eyes.

"I will defend Jiangcheng."

"I will chop down the Moon Emperor."

Zhou Ran stared at her, uttering each word slowly and deliberately.

"If you have to pay your debts, you'll have to pay them while you're still alive."

"If he dies, he'll be held accountable."

Xu Youwei's throat moved slightly.

I owe a lot.

"Then pay it back slowly."

Zhou Ran turned to the female figure on his right.

"Is there any way to save her life?"

The female figure on the right said, "The power of the eye is bound to the bloodline. To seize power will inevitably damage the soul. To preserve the soul, power cannot leave the body."

Zhou Ran looked at the white bone pen.

"Never leave the body."

The female figure on the right stopped for the first time.

"You want her to hold power?"

"right."

"She can't take it."

"Then let's change the way we tie it up."

The female figure on his right was looking at him.

Zhou Ran raised the white bone pen, its tip hovering above Xu Youwei's palm.

"The Moon Emperor bound divine authority to his bloodline."

"I changed it to debt."

Xu Youwei was taken aback.

"debt?"

Zhou Ran said, "Penglai owes Lin Qingxue half an eye; you must acknowledge this debt."

"Penglai owes Jiangcheng a disaster, and you are alive to bear witness."

You still owe yourself a life.

"I can't take advantage of you until these debts are paid off."

"You live, you hold power."

"Pay back your debts and secure your rights."

"If you want to die, the contract will punish you first."

Xu Youwei was momentarily speechless.

She couldn't tell if this was saving someone or putting another set of shackles on her.

The tone of the woman in the right hand changed.

"You want to suppress the Moon Emperor's divine authority into a mortal contract?"

"Is there a problem?"

"Extremely high risk."

"explain."

"The contract failed, the power of the eye went berserk, and her soul was scattered."

If the White Bone Pen backfires, you will lose control of your hands.

Lin Qingxue's half of the Dharma Eye's essence will also be retrieved.

"And if it succeeds?"

"She's alive."

Lin Qingxue took back half of the Dharma Eye.

"You hold the right to the disabled right hand."

"Then?"

The female figure on the right looked into the distance.

"The Moon Emperor will wake up even faster."

Zhou Ran smiled.

"She's not sleeping well now."

The woman in the right hand did not try to persuade her further.

Zhou Ran even dared to alter the resurrection edict; the Moon Emperor will wake up sooner or later.

He sat down at the writing desk.

He placed half of the Dharma Eye Source on the left side.

The white bone pen is placed in the center.

Xu Youwei's right hand was pressed down on her right side by him.

The broken hairpin was not removed.

Silver Eyes was still pinned to the palm of his hand.

Hsu Yu-wei frowned: "What do I need to do?"

"To live."

"Anything else?"

"Bear the pain."

"...Is this how you always comfort people?"

"I don't usually offer comfort."

Xu Youwei fell silent after hearing those words.

The bone fragments lit up.

Lin Qingxue's voice came through.

"Zhou Ran, what are you going to do?"

Zhou Ran said, "Write an IOU to Xu Youwei."

The other end of the bone fragment got stuck.

Fatty Wang's voice boomed in: "Brother Ran, what time is it? You're still lending money?"

Zhou Ran: "Shut up."

Li Zhiyao then asked, "You want to use the bone pen to modify the contract?"

"Um."

"And the price?"

"I can handle it."

Lin Qingxue said, "Don't lie to me."

Zhou Ran paused for a moment.

"It will hurt."

"It will bleed."

"You won't die."

Lin Qingxue said, "Then write it."

She didn't try to persuade her.

She knew she couldn't dissuade him, and she also knew that Zhou Ran was doing this because he didn't want anyone else to be pushed onto the altar.

Zhou Ran held a pen.

Six gray lines lit up inside his dantian.

The Imprint of the River of Oblivion appears.

Half of the Dharma Eye's original essence hangs in the void, rotating in three colors: blue, white, and black.

Xu Youwei opened the silver eye in her palm.

It sensed danger and began to struggle.

"You can't change me!"

Silver Eyes finally spoke.

This time, he didn't borrow Lin Qingxue's voice or Yue Zhao's tone; only his own sharp and piercing voice remained.

Zhou Ran didn't look at it.

"Are you willing to speak your mind now?"

"Looks like the cuts weren't severe enough."

The silver-eyed creature screamed, "I am the Eye of the Moon Emperor!"

Zhou Ran put down his pen.

The first line of text is complete.

"Hsu Yu-Wei holds the right to view."

Silver Eyes's cry was muffled.

Xu Youwei shuddered.

Silver lines shot from her palm toward her arm, only to be pressed back into her palm by the words written with the bone pen.

Zhou Ran continued writing.

"This power does not feed on bloodlines."

"Using debt as a contract."

Xu Youwei groaned, a silver light flashing in her right eye, only to be suppressed by her own black pupil.

Zhou Ran glanced at her.

Hang in there.

Hsu Yu-wei gritted her teeth: "Write yours."

Zhou Ran dropped to the third line.

"Power must not usurp the master until the debt is settled."

A female figure stood to the right.

Her faceless head lowered slightly.

This was the first time she had seen this style of writing.

The Moon Emperor's authority hangs high above.

God writes destiny, and man receives destiny.

What Zhou Ran is doing now is dragging divine authority off its throne and pressing it into a mortal IOU.

rough.

absurd.

But it can really suppress it.

The bone pen started to get hot.

Zhou Ran's tiger's mouth split open.

He didn't stop.

Fourth line.

"Zhou Ran holds the power."

The white bone pen trembled.

A wisp of silver-gray light from the female figure on the right side split off and fell into the pen.

Zhou Ran's six gray lines on his chest tightened simultaneously, and six fine cracks appeared on the surface of his nascent soul.

He coughed up blood, but continued writing.

"Use six gray patterns as a countermeasure."

"The Seal of the River of Oblivion serves as proof."

The female figure on the right said, "You've staked yourself into the contract too."

Zhou Ran said, "The Moon Emperor isn't stupid; he can't just seize divine power without any investment."

Ye Futian sneered, "You're not much smarter either. Pawning the Gray Pattern only makes it easier for the Moon Emperor to find you."

"She can't find me now?"

Ye Futian remained silent.

The person the Moon Emperor most wants to crush now has probably changed from Ye Futian back then to Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran wrote the last line.

"Lin Qingxue withdrew her legal title."

Half of the Dharma Eye's original source lit up.

On the other end of the bone fragment, Lin Qingxue suddenly took a breath.

Li Zhiyao exclaimed urgently, "Qingxue!"

Lin Qingxue's voice was tight, but she remained conscious.

"There is light between my eyebrows..."

Zhou Ran looked at the origin of the Dharma Eye.

"Don't resist."

"Um."

A ray of light, composed of cyan, white, and black, separated and, following the connection of the Yin-Yang communication bone fragment, passed through the Void Realm, the Yin Realm, and the Yang Realm, finally landing on Jiangcheng Manor.

At the same time, the silver eye in Xu Youwei's palm was pressed into the contract.

It has lost its dominant position.

It also lost the right to parasitize.

It became a debt contract.

A disability right that Xu Youwei must repay and control while she is alive.

Xu Youwei's face was deathly pale, but she did not faint.

She looked down at her palm.

A ring of fine black and gold lines appeared around the edge of that silver eye.

The eyes were locked.

It also secured power.

Zhou Ran was about to write the final stroke to close the contract.

A tremor came from the depths of the void.

That wasn't an ordinary sound.

It was will that crashed into the right hand of the Heavenly Corpse.

The Moon Emperor was enraged.

The entire celestial corpse's right hand twitched.

The writing desk has seven cracks.

In the distance, all five finger bones were raised, pointing towards the sacred mountain.

At the same time, the gray lines on Zhou Ran's chest started to burn.

The woman's shadow on the right looked up.

"The seven-day countdown has changed."

Zhou Ran asked, "How long?"

"Five days."

Chen Ya's voice suddenly interrupted from the other end of the bone fragment.

She was panting heavily, clearly having run all the way to the basement.

"Zhou Ran!"

"explain."

"On the white silk of Qingxue..."

Chen Ya's throat tightened.

"A silver eye has grown!"
