"How much blood? No beating around the bush," Xu Xin said bluntly.
The desiccated corpse coughed twice and spat two mouthfuls of thick black phlegm onto the table. Its voice was terribly grating, as though maggots were gnawing through its vocal cords. "Blood?"
"The blood of exiles is foul and filthy to me. What would I want it for?"
"I'm different from all that other trash."
Kong Yi gave an intrigued oh. "Then what are the terms of your trade, esteemed Ghoul?"
"Let that woman become a servant under my control in exchange for one performance."
"How long the performance lasts is how long she will serve me."
The desiccated corpse rasped, "Don't worry. I won't kill that woman."
"I merely need a woman's yin energy to help me advance in rank."
Kong Yi smiled, turned, and waved a hand. "Then keep waiting for your destined one."
The desiccated corpse's body trembled slightly. A suppressed, terrifying eerie aura spread out, faintly showing signs of breaking through Order's shackles. "Human, I will not disappoint you."
"My power can let you turn the tide completely!"
Both of them recognized the eerie aura it was giving off.
It was a genuine Tier 9!
This was an absolute Major Arcana!
Yet Kong Yi still had no intention of turning back. Instead...
"Fine."
Seeing Xu Xin nod, the desiccated corpse greedily looked her over. "Human woman, you are quite sensible."
"But I have one condition..." Before Xu Xin could explain her condition, a hand covered her mouth. Kong Yi forcibly dragged her outside, tossing the desiccated corpse one last remark: "What she meant was that you may go wash up and sleep."
"..."
The desiccated corpse slowly lowered its head and did not try to stop them. It rasped, "You will regret losing my power."
