891 Agreement Under the Heavenly Fire Sea (4)

When the woman in red heard this, she sized up Xu Qing for a while before shaking her head and smiling.

“I know that your background isn’t ordinary. Your master should also be an almighty expert, but this is the Moon Worship Region.”

As the woman in red spoke, she lifted her head and looked at the sky.

Xu Qing remained silent.

A long time later, the woman’s voice echoed out.

“Kid, do you still remember the agreement under the Heavenly Fire Sea?”

“Junior remembers!” Xu Qing solemnly nodded.

“Then, follow me to the icy plain in the north of the Moon Worship Region. My elder sister is suppressed there. I also have a younger brother who is buried under the glacier.”

The woman in red’s voice was filled with reminiscence and sorrow.

Xu Qing hesitated. He didn’t know if what the other party said was true or not but no matter what, if he went to the north, the danger there would definitely be extremely high.

With his ability, the risk of participating in such a thing at this moment was too great.

And the benefits were only heavenly mandate; the risk to reward was clearly disproportionate.

Xu Qing didn’t hide these thoughts and revealed his hesitation on his face.

He was very clear that this almighty could tell at a glance what his expression meant.

This was a method for the weak to set conditions when facing the strong.

Although it might not be effective, he still had to try.

“Did your master teach you this move too?”

The woman in red glanced at Xu Qing and calmly spoke. Her voice was calm and contained dignity.

In his memory, once he spoke like this and had such an expression back then, many people would tremble and agree to all his requests.

Xu Qing revealed an awkward expression. With this posture, the atmosphere was unknowingly eased.

Seeing this, a strange glint appeared in the red-clothed woman’s eyes. She thought about it and spoke.

“This is a transaction. I need you to sincerely do as I ask.”

“There are three benefits you can obtain.”

“Firstly, you can obtain the heavenly mandates.”

“Secondly, the humans in the Heavenly Fire Sea Region will obtain a temple decree, exempting them from having to offer additional tributes, and they will be protected by this decree until the next tribute day arrives.”

“Thirdly, once you complete my request, I will give you a mysterious gift.”

“Now, tell me your choice.” The woman in red stared at Xu Qing and slowly spoke.

Xu Qing remained silent and glanced at Duanmu Zang.

At that moment, Duanmu Zang was leaving. From what he knew, Xu Qing had already left and his back view was a little bleak. Clearly, after Xu Qing left, the worry in his heart rose and spread throughout his body.

“I agree.” Xu Qing retracted his gaze and looked at the woman in red as he calmly spoke.

The risk of not agreeing was clear. After agreeing, the gains would be proportional to the crisis. Xu Qing was decisive.

The woman in red revealed a smile. She liked smart people who were polite, so she admired Xu Qing very much. It was best if he was willing to cooperate willingly, as it spared her from having to resort to violence.

“I value promises very much. Little kid, you can rest assured. Follow me.”

As the woman in red spoke, she walked toward the sky and stepped onto the heart step by step, standing in front of the temple palace.

Xu Qing took a deep breath and leaped up, heading straight for the temple.

Very soon, he got close. The moment he arrived, the first thing he saw was the statue of the Crimson Goddess.

This statue made him extremely wary.

“Your master certainly has some tricks up his sleeve, actually finding a high god for the Crimson Goddess, causing her to fall into a deep slumber.”

The red-clothed woman’s gaze was clear and there was a spurious smile on her face. He clearly knew everything.

Xu Qing blinked but didn’t answer. Instead, he looked at the temple and walked in through the open door. He then saw the people inside who were like statues.

“Their flavor isn’t bad.”

The woman in red licked her lips.

“You can take a rest. The whole performance has to be executed. When the tribute offering day is over in three days, we’ll leave.”

Xu Qing remained silent when he heard this. He sat down cross-legged and looked at the distant Duanmu Zang who was filled with desolation.

The woman in red waved her hand and a red light shot out from the temple, transforming into a token that headed straight for Duanmu Zang.

On the ground, Duanmu Zang, who was fretting, was stunned. After he caught it, he checked it and sensed the protection of the token and the decree to cancel more offerings. Hence, he turned his head in the direction of the temple with a surprised expression.

There was nothing there.

After a long time, Duanmu Zang retracted his gaze and silently left, muttering inwardly.

“Is it him…”

“What exactly is his identity?”

Xu Qing watched as Duanmu Zang left.

“I wish you peace.”
