Senior sister, I'm going to control you.

Chapter 62 Under the Skirt

Li Tianran glanced at her snow-white strapless top.

He said helplessly, "Uncle Ma, this is the only chance."

I also want to use the Blood Transformation Technique to save my life, but you want to stop Master from becoming the Vice Sect Master.

This matter is beneficial to both of us; the only risk is that I might be found out and lose my life.

However, once your master's puppet is completed, it will be too late for you to interfere.

This disciple is not a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and has no robes or defensive talismans. I cannot even withstand a casual palm strike from my master.

"It doesn't matter that my disciple is dead, but you'll probably never find someone else who can get close to the puppet's core while inscribing the runes."

Ma Rou stared at him for several breaths.

She was angry, but the fake alchemist was telling the truth.

Among the Blood Spirit Sect members who could enter Han Li's cave and touch the puppet's core, Zhao Ling and he were the only ones.

Zhao Ling wouldn't take this job, and she couldn't believe it either.

Once Zhao Ling betrays him and tells others, Han Laomo will become wary, and she will have no chance at all.

The blood slave in front of her wanted to live and escape the Blood Spirit Sect, and she happened to have something on him.

Seeing that Ma Rou was interested, Li Tianran quickly added, "Uncle Ma, this disciple just wants to borrow a few more life-saving treasures."

"It's not like I'm taking it and not returning it. Besides, I'll need to ask you for the Blood Dissolving Technique later. What are you worried about?"

Ma Rou raised her leg again, her toes lightly touching the air.

She gave Li Tianran a deep look, a half-smile playing on her lips.

"You're a disciple who was born too late. If you had entered the Blood Sect twenty years earlier, you might have had a place among these three stewards."

Li Tianran picked up his teacup, took a sip, and feigned helplessness: "This disciple is just telling the truth; I only want to live."

Ma Rou tilted her head, and the corners of her mouth curved up again, this time with the kind of understanding that comes from finally seeing something clearly.

"Hmph, you probably planned this all along. The escape talisman, the magic robe, the defensive talisman—every single one of them was chosen specifically to target Han Li."

You just said that this disciple is merely a pseudo-Qi cultivator, but the way you said it didn't sound like a pseudo-Qi cultivator at all.

She took out a piece of transparent white jade, which was very thin.

It's described as jade, but it's more like a transparent film, almost invisible to the naked eye.

Moreover, it's only the size of a thumb, so it fits perfectly and you can't see any problems.

Li Tianran tried to investigate, but found nothing.

"Don't worry, this is a specially made array, invisible to the naked eye and undetectable by divine sense."

As long as you don't cause any major problems, you can quietly attach yourself to the puppet's core. Once you've done that, you don't need to worry about the rest.

Ma Rou pushed the things half an inch towards him.

"One Void Escape Talisman. Three Level Two Golden Shield Talismans. One High-Grade Magic Robe. We'll talk about spirit stones later."

Li Tianran: "I'll lend you two escape talismans first, and I'll return them to you later."

Ma Rou paused for a moment, then burst out laughing.

This time it was a genuine laugh, not a forced laugh or a fake laugh.

"Are you still trying to bargain with me?"

She tucked the seashells at her feet under her skirt.

"Heh, so what if I give it to you? If you don't return what I gave you after this is done, you can forget about ever getting the Blood Transformation Technique."

She stopped arguing with Li Tianran.

So what if she gives it to him? She has plenty of ways to make Li Tianran return it obediently later.

"make a deal."

Li Tianran picked up the control array talisman. He didn't know what it was used for; he had never seen or heard of it before.

As for the things Ma Rou "lent" him—return them? Impossible!

If you borrowed it through your own ability, why should you pay it back?

Blood Transformation Technique? He doesn't need it.

As for helping her affix the array talisman, we'll see how things go at that point.

He wouldn't do it if it meant risking his life; he'd just stick one on her whenever he had the chance.

In this Blood Sect, everyone is scheming, so why can't he?

Now I have a Foundation Establishment Core in hand, a defensive robe, a meteorite iron spear, and a Immortal Imprisoning Basin.

After escaping the Blood Spirit Sect, the world is vast, and there's nowhere I can't go.

He was making plans in his mind, but remained outwardly calm.

At this moment, Ma Rou put her hand on the back of the chair, leaned back, and switched the leg she was crossing to the other side.

She placed the storage bag on the table and pushed it with her spiritual power.

With a snap.

The storage bag slid off the edge of the table and landed right in front of her toes.

"Oh, you pushed it off course." She feigned surprise, her red lips slightly pursed.

Ma Rou slightly lifted her foot, and the hem of her skirt slid up to her knee, revealing a section of her firm thigh.

She leaned back in her chair, looking down at him, her tone indifferent yet with a hint of amusement: "You picked it up?"

Li Tianran raised an eyebrow.

The women of the Blood Spirit Sect are all incredibly savvy.

Circumstances dictate his actions, so he bowed down.

Just as he lowered his head, Ma Rou's toes suddenly lifted slightly, the tip of her shoe brushing against his wrist.

Li Tianran paused for a moment, looked up, and his gaze inevitably swept over her white thighs.

The white skin deep within the hem of her skirt shone even more brightly in the dim stone chamber, its surface gleaming with a faint blue light.

Ma Rou did not stand up.

Her skirt was still open, and her gaze slowly swept across his face, finally settling on his eyes.

"Is it pretty?"

"This disciple was merely picking things up."

"My dress is more expensive than any magical artifact you have ever seen."

She lightly tapped the air with her toes: "You saw it, so what are you pretending for?"

"This disciple dares not look any further."

"You dare not?"

She finally laughed, her shoulders trembling slightly: "When you were bargaining with me just now, why didn't you say you dared not?"

Li Tianran did not respond.

"Hmph," Ma Rou stood up, turned around and walked towards the door.

She took a few steps without looking back.

"If we can't attach the control array talisman, then we'll destroy her array patterns."

The door closed.

Li Tianran breathed a sigh of relief and arranged the items from his storage bag one by one on the stone table.

Three Void Escape Talismans, three Golden Shield Talismans, and one Dharma Robe.

Not a single spirit stone was given, which was expected.

He unfolded his robe; the crimson surface was icy to the touch, not cloth, but some kind of indescribable silk that he couldn't tear.

A very fine array pattern was embroidered on the inside of the robe, neither of the Blood Spirit Sect's nor the Heavenly Sword Sect's.

She didn't say where Ma Rou got it from.

He wore his robe under his grey robe, the array patterns close to his skin feeling slightly warm.

Then, carefully put the Escape Talisman and the Golden Shield Talisman close to your body.

Escaping now is impossible.

Old Demon Han has already instructed that we go to the cave tonight, as the range of the Blood Guidance can cover the entire Blood Burial Plain.

Zhang Xuan ran a thousand miles but still died.

The Heavenly Sword Sect will not let this go easily; the lives of the three Foundation Establishment elders cannot be lost in vain.

The loss of dozens of elite Qi Refining cultivators is a loss that righteous sects will not tolerate.

He must act before the second wave of attacks on the mountain and before Han Laomo discovers that the secret room has been disturbed.

He found a window just big enough for him to undo the blood seal, activate the escape talisman, and disappear with Zhao Ling.

Before that, keeping Han Laomo in check is the only option.

He took out the communication jade slip and sent a message to Zhao Ling.

Where is it?

A few breaths later, the jade slip lit up.

"Cave dwelling".

"wait for me."

The door to Zhao Ling's cave was ajar.

When he pushed the door open, she was sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, a short knife lying across her lap.

She opened her eyes, didn't say anything, but simply moved the knife half an inch to the side.

"The complete technique of the Blood Transformation Art." He placed the dark red jade slip in front of her.

"I tried it once, but I can't practice now."

"Han Laomo's blood essence is still inside me. It will be sensed every time I circulate it throughout my body. You take it for now."

Zhao Ling took the jade slip, looked down at the thing in his palm that was still warm from his body, and his fingertips tightened slightly.

She looked up, and a hint of emotion finally flickered in her usually cold eyes.

"Thanks."

Li Tianran was surprised; he hadn't expected her to thank him.

"You've always been a helpful partner; you've played a part in it."

Zhao Ling remained silent for a moment, then put the jade slip into her bosom.

"How do we escape now?"

Li Tianran has not yet answered.

He felt a warmth in the jade slip in his arms, took it out and looked at it.

"My good disciple, come quickly to your master's cave!"

Zhao Ling also received the message.

The two exchanged a glance and remained silent.
