Lu Bu gestured through his eyes that he wanted to fight. Unfortunately, Tong did not think it was a good idea.
This was a 3-on-2, rather, 3-on-1 situation, it would be stupid to crash with Lilim head-on. Moreover, Lu Bu might be useless in this fight since Lilim might be able to manipulate his action because of the oath.
Whenever the situation looked hopeless, Tong never fought his enemies directly.
"I have conditions," Tong proposed, "It isn't fair that I have to entrust everything to you without knowing what I can get in return. I worked so hard for the unification, so I demand some rewards."
Lilim nodded, "Of course. A greedy fat ass bastard like you won't surrender without gaining some profits first. Just say it. What do you want from me? I'll use the system law to grant your wish."
Tong laughed, "Well, I have five wishes, my dear goddess. First, I want you to make an immortal vow that you or your subordinates will not use your system authority to directly or indirectly cause material damage or non-material damage to me, my subordinates, and my family. This includes harming, harassing, threatening, blackmailing, killing, and making something inconvenient to me, my subordinates, and my family members, and all of their descendants."
"For that, I'll make that oath after you. I know what you're thinking. You think I'll make that vow, and then, you will go back on your words?"
Tong empowered his words, "[I vow that I will complete this transaction with Lilim after she makes the oath I told her to.]"
After saying the words, the sky and earth trembled as they acknowledged Tong's oath.
On the other hand, Lilim's face grimaced, "You're playing with your words, aren't you? You didn't say that you will become my subordinate afterward. Instead, you used this "Transaction" instead of using the other phrase or words that you'll become my subordinate."
Tong shrugged, "All transaction is equal. Why should I lower my position before I get what I can bargain?"
"Hmm! Well, I'll do that after I consider all of your conditions. What's next? I don't think you'll only ask for these trivial matters."
Tong squinted his eyes. As expected, Lilim was not an easy opponent to trick.
The first condition was to ensure that Lilim could not use her trump card, the dimension system, to deprive Tong and others of their cultivation power since Lilim could delete their skills and cultivation with a few console commands.
As long as Tong could trick Lilim into making that oath, they would have a chance against this dimension administrator.
"Second condition, I want my Immortal Yang Vein skill again, and I want it to be embedded to my souls, so this skill can go with me if I were to reincarnate again."
"The second condition is done. Now, tell me the third."
"Third condition, you will make an immortal oath that you will be my wife for at least 10,000 years and bear 10,000 of my children at the minimum."
Lu Bu and Zuo Ci coughed, holding back their laughter. Guan Yu's face turned into a poker face, while Lilim was livid.
"YOU FUCKING SEX FIEND!! DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE IN YOUR HEAD BESIDE YOUR LIMPING PENIS, DONG ZHUO!?"
Lu Bu held his stomach as he laughed. Dong Zhuo was always Dong Zhuo, a perverted sex fiend.
"Oh, please. Who do you think I am? All beautiful girls in this world once belonged to me. You see, you are quite a pretty girl yourself. Just by seeing your beauty for real, my boy is getting excited," Tong placed his hands on his hips and leaned back, which attracted the others to look at his stomach and the below area. Sure enough, the pitched tent was the center of everyone's attention.
Lilim's face reddened in anger and embarrassment as it was the first time that someone wooed her directly with his erected penis under his pants. Though she had seen many mortals copulated, it would be a lie if she said that she did not interest to have one.
"That won't do! I won't become your wife!"
"Controlling the Han citizens will be hard if you don't have a legitimate reason to take the throne, you know? By being my wife, I can replace Medusa and make you the empress. Afterward, you can make a sect, force my subordinates to be your subordinates, or abusing the imperial authority to make an official immortal sect to worship you easily."
"I can easily kill you right now! Why should I even lower myself to bed a bastard like you!?"
"And you'll face the resistance from the people. Many families will hate you forever and write records about your doing. Your name will be symbolized as a villain goddess that killed a good emperor, and you won't be able to form an empire on top of my Han Dynasty within a few hundred years."
"Fool! I can just wipe out mankind and replace them with more stupid gorillas."
"Gorillas won't be able to cultivate. Only intelligent humans can. Trust me, you need my people as your subordinates in the future. Unless I'm there to persuade them, you can't take over the throne without a resistance."
"I don't need to literally fuck you to be your wife in-name! You can just officially appoint me as the empress and leave everything to me!"
"Unfortunately, all empresses in history bore at least one child of the emperor, and it is already a custom of this country. Without my child, everyone won't see you as a legitimate empress. You know, Medusa and Friday each have a son. You can't wrestle their position away without my golden seed!"
"…"
Lilim was about to castrate Tong to teach him a lesson, but she paused as Tong's words reminded her of her goal. She planned to create a sect to entice followers, so she would have more chance to break through beyond the 12th wing tier, surpassing the first generation archangels.
The 11th and 12th wing requirement was one immortal follower with the strength of 10 wings. But the conditions to reach 13th wing and beyond remained a mystery, which Lilim was trying to tackle.
Lilim believed that it might relate to the number of followers since her mother's name was a well-known being among mortals of many worlds, and many cults worshiped her.
Although Lilim wasn't sure about her theory, she wanted to test it on this dimension. After all, founding a grand religion that would worship her for millennia was a difficult task, and she would never get this chance again in the other dimension.
"…kay."
Lilim leaked a fainted voice, but it was audible to Lu Bu, Tong, Guan Yu, and Zuo Ci.
"WHAT!?" Everyone was in shock as Lilim held the image of a pure and innocent young goddess. They could not believe that she would agree to this absurd demand.
"Hmm? Pardon?" Tong feinted ignorance as he wanted to shame Lilim.
"…okay," Lilim's voice was still soft.
"I didn't hear you. What did you say?"
Lilim's face reddened. She stomped her feet and screamed, "I SAID, FINE! [I PROMISE THAT I'LL BE YOUR WIFE!!]"
In embarrassment, Lilim's tongue slipped and made the immortal vow by reflex. She widened her eyes in disbelief after she regained her senses.
*RUMBLE*
It was too late for Lilim to retract her words. The sky and earth accounted for her oath into the karma law.
Moreover, Lilim could see a new chain of karma coming out of her belly and tied a knot with Tong's belly, signifying that they were destined together as couples.
"NUUUUUUUOOOOOO!!"
At this moment, Lilim knew that she fucked up. She went down on her knees and placed her hands on the ground, forming a perfect [Orz] pose. As if heaven was mocking her, the sun shone as if it was a spotlight focusing on Lilim while the cloud dimmed the surrounding light.
Using this chance, Tong knelt beside Lilim and hugged her, "Don't worry, my wife. You will forget about this shame after a few days. I know a few tricks that can make you forget about all bad past events. You see, even Liu Yang changes her mind after I bedded her a few days-OOOF!"
*CRACK*
Lilim punched Tong's stomach, which destroyed his innards and ruptured his spine. Fortunately, Lilim did not use her force, or Tong would have been dead. Also, the vitality and the regeneration rate of an 8-wing demon was five times stronger than any 7-wing cultivator. In ten seconds, Tong's damaged intestines and spine healed themselves.
Tong coughed and held his stomach in pain. The punch just now almost sent his soul to the river of karma.
Lilim yelled at him, "Tell me the fourth and fifth condition!"
Tong nodded. His face turned solemn, "Make everyone forget about the incident that Lu Bu did to my daughter. Also, restore Zhang Min's purity."
"Brainwashing and restore Zhang Min's virginity?" Lilim was amused, "That's it?"
"Yes. That's my fourth condition."
"Hmm."
Lilim could finally smile as this request was too easy. She opened her administrator console and input a few lines of commands before she pressed enter.
*RUMBLE*
The earth and the sky shook again. This time, Tong could see several green karmic chains flying toward Ye City and other places. Two of them also came for Lu Bu and Tong.
Still, they touched Tong and Lu Bu's body and whimpered in pain before they faded.
Everyone but Lilim was baffled by the phenomenon.
"What are those?"
"Man-made karma law. I tampered the law a bit and granted your request. Unfortunately, this won't work with any cultivator with 8 wings or higher."
"So, everyone will forget what I did?" Lu Bu was curious.
"Yeah, moron. Even if Zhang Min is pregnant, none of the mortals will realize that it's yours. Hehehe!"
Tong's face twitched when Lilim hinted that Zhang Min might be pregnant. He glared at Lu Bu for a second before he pulled back his killing intent.
"The last condition…" Tong muttered.
"Sure. What is it?"
The atmosphere became tense as Tong's face turned solemn.
"I want to test my endurance as an 8-wing demon, so I demand a 10-year marathon fucking session with you! Please vow that you'll copulate with me for at least 10 years as our first sex!"
*BOOOM*
As if someone dropped an atomic bomb, everyone widened their eyes in astonishment, awe, and shock.
Lu Bu and Zuo Ci collapsed on the ground, dying laughing. Guan Yu, as usual, facepalmed as he was disappointed in Tong.
As for Lilim, she recalled that she had just vowed to become this pervert's wife, and now, Tong wanted to fuck her for 10 years straight.
"DAMN PERVERT!! I CHANGE MY MIND, I'LL KILL YOU NOW!!"
Tong jumped back, "If you kill me now, my clan members will know about this, and your takeover plan can go down the drain!"
Lilim teleported before Tong and choked him, raising his entire body with one hand. Her breathing was rough as her anger went through the roof, "If you play any trick, even if I have to break the oaths and suffer from tribulations, I'll kill you and your entire family."
The power difference between a 10-wing demon and an 8-wing demon was displayed through Lilim's speed and Tong's reaction. Even though Tong had been on vigilance on Lilim, he failed to react when Lilim suddenly grabbed his neck.
Tong was aware of the current situation. Had he fought Lilim now, he would be instantly killed by Lilim's raw power and speed.
Surviving was the priority in this situation. As long as he was alive, Tong and others would have a chance for a comeback.
He could only pray that his silly plan would benefit Friday, Medusa, Li Feihong, his subordinates back home, and his children.
'Guys. My cultivation road probably ends here. Liu Xie, Min'er, Friday, Medusa, from now on, I'll leave everything to all of you!'
Tong struggled and opened his mouth. He empowered his words, "[I vow that I will become Lilim's subordinate as long as she accepts my five conditions by every word! If she does not follow my five conditions, I will never be her vessel!]"
*RUMBLE*
Lilim tossed Tong on the ground. She gritted her teeth and also made an oath, "[I and my subordinates will not use my system authority to harm, harass, threaten, blackmail, kill, or cause trouble or difficulty to Zhang Tong, his subordinates, his family, and their descendants! I will also be his wife and bed him for at least 10 years to satisfy his submission conditions!]"
*RUMBLE*
More karma chains tied Lilim and Tong together as both sides exchanged their oaths. However, Lilim had not completed her 4th condition yet as she had to complete the 10-year session.
Lilim glared at Tong with hatred, "After the 10 years, you'll give the throne to me!"
"I know," Still coughing, Tong revealed a bitter smile.
