Chapter 431: Chapter 430 Blood Oath Guardian

Asura thought to himself, "Marrying me again would be the best reward!" Of course, he just thought about it. If he actually said that out loud, he estimated he would scare Pretty Girl away instantly.Seeing that Asura had fallen somewhat silent, Pretty Girl continued, "If possible, could you take off your mask and let me see? At least let me know who it is that helped me. I really can't accept any more of your things. I came to see you today and have been waiting here these couple of days, hoping to understand you better, to know who you really are."

Asura forced a bitter smile and said, "Why obsess over these details? You only need to know everything I do is for your good. Whatever you wish to do, I fully support you. Isn't that enough?"

Pretty Girl shook her head and said, "No, it's not enough. How can we be friends if we can't be honest with each other?"

At this moment, Asura truly felt an impulse to lift his mask and reveal his true face. But he restrained himself. As Asura, his identity would be more advantageous for appearing beside Pretty Girl in the future—whether to protect her or to do other things. Switching to Tang San would be, on one hand, too shocking to the world, and on the other, he was worried Pretty Girl would overthink it. After all, the real Tang San was just about to turn fourteen.

Fourteen years old, with such cultivation base, with so much knowledge—how could he explain it? In the future, in order to protect her, he would inevitably need to use his divine consciousness. It couldn't always be like the last time when the Sea God appeared just as she didn't see. If she saw him, how would he explain himself?

They were both still young, and Tang San was always waiting for her to grow up. He intended to protect her well, and once she was ready, he would spare no effort in pursuing her. Asura's identity would be more suitable for openly protecting her than Tang San's.

At this time, Pretty Girl's thoughts were of another kind. These past few days, she had been waiting for Asura to appear, and during this process, she had given their relationship careful thought. He had appeared so unexpectedly at first, but every time she encountered difficulty, he would show up by her side. At the beginning, she was full of wariness towards this man who had appeared out of the blue, cautious at heart. Yet, as he appeared by her side time after time, helping and protecting her, the defenses in her heart gradually relaxed.

Reflecting on this over the past two days, she was surprised to find that she had unknowingly come to regard him as an important friend. However, she had never even seen what he truly looked like.

Therefore, she had made up her mind—if he came this time, she would have to see his face and ask him who he really was.

"Everyone has their own secrets, and so do I. Naturally, the reason I refuse to let you see my face is because I have unspeakable difficulties," Asura sighed softly, his voice glimmering as he spoke, "If you can't accept me as I am, then there's nothing I can do. Just think of me as a Messenger sent by the heavens to guard you. No matter how you view me, whenever you need me, I will surely appear by your side. These two items were obtained at the risk of my life, and I only hope they can provide you with some help. After all, you are still young, and the path ahead of you is long, very long. This test is certainly crucial for you. Have you thought about what you will face if you can't pass it? Even if you want to doubt me, or have some other thoughts, let's get through this test first."

As he spoke, Asura flicked his wrist lightly, and the Crystal Mirror and the Destiny Stone were already flying towards Pretty Girl.

Feeling a change in his tone, Pretty Girl subconsciously caught them. His gaze appeared more melancholic, more sorrowful. In that moment, within the depths of his eyes, it was as though there were countless stories and memories. In that instant, Pretty Girl felt as if she was looking at an old man.

A guardian Messenger sent by the heavens?

Then she saw Asura raise his hands, drawing a line across the right index finger of his left hand. The next moment, a drop of blood filled with a fiery aura and an unusual radiance was squeezed out from between his fingers. Clearly, that was a drop of blood essence!

For any strong being, blood essence is the most vital entity within the body. A person can truly condense only a few dozen drops of blood essence, and each drop is extremely precious.

That drop of blood essence pulsated between Asura's fingers, radiating a strange light. It was a sensation that made Pretty Girl's soul tremble, as though the blood essence contained many things familiar to her.

"Today, I swear by my blood. For the rest of my life, regardless of prosperity or adversity, strength or weakness, youth or old age, no matter what lies ahead, I will always guard Pretty Girl's side. I will never act against her, always accompany her, and never betray her. Should I break this oath, may the heavens abandon me, may thunder strike me down." As he spoke, he traced strange trajectories in the air with his hands, and that drop of blood essence naturally diffused, forming an unusual pattern.

A streak of blood-red light instantly surged skyward from Asura's body; although it disappeared in a flash, during that instant, the aura of Asura's entire being underwent a violent change.

"Blood Covenant!" Pretty Girl cried out in shock, momentarily at a loss. She had never expected that at the moment she wanted to see his true face, Asura would prove his protective heart to her in such a manner.

"You didn't need to do this, I'm sorry." Pretty Girl's heart was instantly filled with regret, "Blood essence is so precious, and it will take you a long time to recover from this consumption. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so wilful, you..." Sёarᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Asura smiled and shook his head as if nothing had happened, "It's okay. This should also put your mind at ease. If I don't take off the mask now, it's really because I have my own difficulties. When I think the day has come that I can take it off, I will remove it immediately. Trust me, it's just a matter of time. I will always protect you well."

What did it matter to make a Blood Covenant for his own wife? Even if it cost him his life, he would not hesitate for a moment. Just like in his previous life, she had made such sacrifices for him.

A Blood Covenant is the most solemn vow on Demon Monster Land, and no race dares to make it lightly because, in this plane, power for any race comes from their bloodline. Once afflicted by a Bloodline Backlash, that is certain death.

After the Blood Covenant was made, Pretty Girl felt deep within that she and Asura in front of her seemed to have established an additional connection, and this Blood Covenant also dispelled any remaining doubts she had about Asura's intentions of getting close to her. In this way, Asura resolved all the suspicions in her heart.

"Accept it, think of it as something I'm lending you. You can return it to me after you pass your family's assessment," Asura said with a smile.

Seeing her somewhat at a loss, he felt a twinge of heartache, but he had to do it to dispel her doubts. As for the consumption of this drop of blood essence, he had ways to recover quickly.

Pretty Girl bowed her head, saying, "Thank you."

Asura shook his head, replying, "No need to thank me. Have you eaten? How about we go have a meal together?" He just wanted to spend a little more time with her now.

But Pretty Girl shook her head, replying, "No, my mom is waiting for me at home for dinner. I promised her I would go home to eat."

A trace of disappointment immediately rose in Asura's heart, but he still nodded, saying, "Okay then, you should head back early. It's going to get dark soon."

"Yeah. You took the trouble to come back from a distance just to see me this once. Shall I keep waiting for you here?" Pretty Girl asked.

Asura nodded, replying, "You can wait anytime. No matter where I am, I will try my best to return within three days."

Pretty Girl looked up at him, her eyes slightly complex. She actually felt a bit unsure about how to face such a scene.

"Oh, right. There's something I'd like to trouble you with." Suddenly Pretty Girl seemed to remember something.
