Nangong Ah Jin knew what he did was terrible and ruthless but he didn't have a choice. He was interested in this little fox but finding his uncle was his top priority at the moment.
He could not spare any opportunity. He needs to find Nangong Bai Yu as soon as possible otherwise the Holy Kunlun Sect will be in grave danger.
Meng Zhang wanted answers from the Sovereign Lord. He wanted to know why he used the contraband bond on Long Lei?
The azure dragon was even more surprised that Long Lei was able to live even after undergoing the pain of heart blood contract. He has never seen a beast taking a heart blood contract but has heard many stories about it.
No one was able to survive after this cruel and rare contract. So, it was abolished and all the traces of heart blood contract were removed from everything.
He was an old mythological beast born from the divine powers and holy light of gods. He knew everything about it just like the rest of three other protectors of this mortal world.
Heart Blood Contract was the abolished contract because no one was able to bear the pain coming from it and the inferior party has to face the fire of nirvana in their bloodstreams until the ruins are completely sealed inside their hearts.
The ruin containing the blood of the superior will flow in the vessels of the inferior until it finally reaches the heart and seals the ruin within the inferior.
This bond was used for eternal binding and way more dangerous for Long Lei who was a human.
"Why? You knew it is harmful to her then why?" Meng Zhang asked him.
Nangong Ah Jin knew that he was worried about Long Lei and decided to ignore this little disrespect from this stupid dragon.
Instead of being angry at him for breaking the protocol, he calmly explained to him the reason behind his actions.
"Use your brain and think about why I did this?" Nangong Ah Jin asked the angry dragon. "Don't rattle like a drum before using it."
He didn't want to insult the dragon but Meng Zhang was truly behaving like a fool just because he has used the heart blood contract on Lei'er.
Who can survive this contract?
Was there anyone still alive after forming this contract?
No one!
The answer was simple but the dragon was not thinking carefully and instead of being thankful to him he was getting angry over nothing.
Meng Zhang should laugh in happiness as he did a favor on him and not only him but this entire world.
"What do you mean by 'use' your brain? I am using my brain that's why I am questioning you." Meng Zhang taunted exasperatedly.
Nangong Ah Jin smirked at the attention-seeking dragon.
"I knew it. Your brain was not good enough yet you were chosen as the protector of Soul Flute? Those old weirdoes must be dumb to choose you as the guardian."
Meng Zhang was again and again insulted by Nangong Ah Jin. He finally snapped. He came near the Sovereign Lord and closed the distance between them completely.
They were now inches apart from each other and Long Lei still lying on Nangong Ah Jin's lap. The scene was pretty ambiguous.
"I can be lot more irrational My Lordship!" Meng Zhang warned him huskily. "After all who can resist this great beauty of yours?"
Meng Zhang teased Nangong Ah Jin on his overly beautiful face. If this Sovereign Lord was going to insult him like this, again and again, he will also leave no point to annoy him.
What can be better than teasing him about his peerless face?
Nangong Ah Jin's eyes darkened and his icy voice warned the daring dragon.
"Keep on doing that and I will see how you will like the taste of a simple blood contract."
Meng Zhang deflated like a flat balloon and moved back to avoid those killing eyes.
"Tell me clearly then. Don't speak in riddles." Meng Zhang straight-forwardly asked him.
"You want to hear it clearly, fine! I will tell you. Who can form a contract with Soul Flute just like this and that too effortlessly? Soul Flute will easily accept her as its owner. Don't you think it is strange?"
Nangong Ah Jin pointed out the fact in front of Meng Zhang.
How can a simple human subdue the Soul Flute and that too with so much ease?
It was doubtful.
Meng Zhang was stunned for a moment and he tentatively remembered the scene when Long Lei teased Nangong Ah Jin for forming the contract with Soul Flute.
She didn't even do anything other than placing her blood on the flute.
Bam!
The soul flute accepted her just like this; it was true that he didn't think about this before but the question was why Nangong Ah Jin used Heart Blood contract on her?
"So? I want to know why you used a method which was already abolished by the elders. You didn't think about her life; did you?" Meng Zhang pointed out his ruthless action.
"I want to know. Tell me."
"I wanted to check something." Nangong Ah Jin replied.
Meng Zhang was speechless. Just because you want to confirm something you would harm a poor little girl whose cultivation was as poor as the ant on the ground.
It was unbelievable.
"What did you check? What was so important than her life?" Meng Zhang growled.
Nangong Ah Jin was calm.
"The survival of this world you guard with your life."
He knew that after Meng Zhang will know about his true purpose; he will understand his actions and even support him.
"You mean she is the…" Meng Zhang was too stunned to react. He could not even properly speak because of the sudden news he received.
It was shocking.
Too shocking!
If what he said was true then this little girl was different.
She was a miracle in this world!
A special person!
She was the successor of Shen Xin Yi!
The new owner of Shen Xin tower!
New owner of Soul Flute!
Nangong Ah Jin nodded. "Yes!"
"She is the one you were waiting for." Nangong Ah Jin spoke solemnly.
Here is the update. Next update will be after two days and you will have two chapters to read.
Till then...
One more thing- Please don't misunderstand the ML. He is only interested in her and not in love with her. What he did was pretty much normal any normal person for their gain would do?
