Chapter 43: The Supreme Oath
“I will provide you with everything you need: cultivation methods, magical artifacts, spirit stones, you name it!”
Liu Shunyi had a rather peculiar look in his eyes.
“Senior Sister, are you trying to, uh, keep me as your sugar baby?”
Ji Suying nodded.
“Well, if that’s how you view it, I can’t deny it!”
“So, do you agree?”
Liu Shunyi didn’t rush to agree.
Although on the surface Ji Suying was at the Golden Core stage, he wasn’t sure of her real level.
Definitely not as simple as just Golden Core.
Supporting someone like that?
Crazy, right?
Besides, he wasn’t lacking resources at the moment!
Ji Suying sensed Liu Shunyi’s hesitation.
She spoke softly again.
“Don’t worry, if I train you, that would be the fortune of your eight lifetimes. And me wanting you as my support doesn’t mean you’ll be my errand boy.”
“What I want is that if one day I’m gravely injured and on the brink of dying, you can come to my rescue!”
“You won’t be put in danger!”
With such words out in the open, Liu Shunyi felt he had no reason to refuse.
Plus, he was genuinely a bit lost about his future cultivation path.
“Well, I can go along with this, but…”
As Liu Shunyi looked at the draft Ji Suying pulled out, he felt a bit speechless.
“Why do you always have a draft? It gives me the feeling you’re trying to pua me!”
Ji Suying paused.
“What’s pua?”
Liu Shunyi shook his head.
“Never mind!”
At this moment, Ji Suying was looking at Liu Shunyi, her expression shifting.
There were some things she didn’t know whether to tell him.
She truly trusted Liu Shunyi, but they weren’t at the heart-to-heart level yet.
Liu Shunyi understood Ji Suying’s state of mind.
He raised his hand.
“Senior Sister, there’s no need to say more for now. Some things I know aren’t exactly good!”
Ji Suying nodded.
Then she handed Liu Shunyi a jade tablet.
“Let’s sign a contract.”
As she said this, Ji Suying took out another jade tablet.
They both signed the contract at the same time.
Then they started to consecrate the tablets with their blood.
“All done, now we just need to swear an oath.”
Then Ji Suying handed Liu Shunyi a piece of paper.
“Just read what’s on this!”
Liu Shunyi took the draft paper and slowly recited the contents.
“I swear to the heavens, from this day forth, no matter my position or circumstances, I will unwaveringly protect Ji Suying. With the Great Path above, may the Heavenly Way be the witness?”
Liu Shunyi looked at Ji Suying weirdly.
“What are you looking at? Keep going!”
Liu Shunyi gulped.
“Alright!”
He then continued reciting from the draft paper.
“If I violate this, let me reincarnate or be reborn, and never regain human form for eternity!”
“Gasp~”
Liu Shunyi inwardly shivered.
This oath was seriously steeped in poison.
Ji Suying appeared quite satisfied at this moment.
She then took out another draft paper.
“I, Ji Suying, no matter my future position or circumstances, will never betray Liu Shunyi. With the Great Path above, may the Heavenly Way be the witness, if I violate this, let me face endless suffering and betrayal in future lifetimes!”
After saying this, Ji Suying tucked the draft away.
“Alright, on to the next step!”
Liu Shunyi nodded.
“Bow to heaven and earth!”
Liu Shunyi: “???”
Ji Suying explained.
“This is the supreme oath, it needs to be serious!”
Liu Shunyi looked at the incense burner on the table Ji Suying set up, feeling like something was off.
Ji Suying reassured him.
“Trust me, this is a necessary step!”
“Bow!”
They both bent down.
“Three bows!”
They bent down again.
“Alright, now we just wait for the oath to take effect!”
Saying this, Liu Shunyi and Ji Suying looked up at the sky.
Then, a flock of egrets flew by.
The world fell silent.
A group of crows flew over Liu Shunyi and Ji Suying’s heads.
“Senior Sister, did we miss a step?”
Ji Suying pulled out an ancient book and flipped through it.
“Oh, there’s one last step!”
“Come on, stand right!”
Liu Shunyi nodded.
“Face each other and bow!”
“Ah?”
Ji Suying was very serious.
“Trust me, this is part of the supreme oath!”
The two of them then bowed to each other.
“Boom~!”
Finally, there was movement in the heavens and earth.
Suddenly, two iron scrolls descended from the sky and landed in their hands.
“Ha! I told you, this is the supreme oath! Look, the Book of Oaths has appeared. What does this mean? This is the testimony of heaven and earth!”
Liu Shunyi was shocked as well.
Oh man.
In the cultivation world, one really couldn’t make oaths casually.
But then, Liu Shunyi noticed something was off in the content of the scroll.
“Wait, Senior Sister, take a look at what’s written on there!”
Ji Suying frowned, “What’s wrong with the content? Let me see!”
Her gaze shifted to the descending scrolls.
“The Oath to Heaven, the Great Path feels it, the Heavenly Way witnesses it, heaven and earth hear, the oath is established, Liu Shunyi, Ji Suying, celestial marriage established, special signature!”
Ji Suying: “???”
Liu Shunyi: “…”
Ji Suying was still a bit dazed.
“We got married? And it was witnessed by the Heavenly Way?”
Liu Shunyi was also a bit clueless.
“Yeah, it’s quite sudden!”
Ji Suying quickly pulled out a book titled “Supreme Oath.”
“It says so here! This oath is the highest-level oath, witnessed by heaven and earth.”
Liu Shunyi flipped to the next page.
It clearly stated: “For Marriage Use Only!”
The two looked at each other.
Then they fell into a deep silence.
At this moment, a group of disciples were also staring at the two of them.
The silence was deafening.
Time passed, and without warning, Ji Suying drew her sword.
With a fierce look, she glared at the group of disciples behind her.
“Thud, thud…”
All the disciples immediately knelt down.
One by one, they turned pale with fright.
“Sister Ji, don’t worry, today’s matter will be kept secret!”
“Yes, we know of your capabilities, we…”
“Wait, Sister, I just took a Forgetfulness Pill!”
In an instant, all the disciples swallowed Forgetfulness Pills.
Then they all fainted.
Ji Suying was quite satisfied.
She then sheathed her sword, saying, “I’m not unwilling to acknowledge our relationship; it’s just that confirming it now wouldn’t be good for you!”
Liu Shunyi nodded.
“I understand!”
Ji Suying looked at Liu Shunyi, feeling a bit awkward.
“Um, give me some time to process this; I need a moment!”
Liu Shunyi nodded again.
“I understand!”
Then Ji Suying fled the scene like a startled rabbit.
Liu Shunyi hurriedly called after her.
“Senior Sister!”
Ji Suying paused.
“What’s wrong?”
Liu Shunyi pointed in another direction.
“You’re going the wrong way; your room is over there!”
Ji Suying’s face turned red.
“Oh, thank you!”
Then, Ji Suying scurried toward her room.
As for Liu Shunyi, he stared at the iron scroll in his hand, lost in thought.
