Chapter 1189 Mermaid Blood Oath
Chapter 1189 Mermaid Blood Oath
The demonic voice wasn't loud, but her firm tone was enough for all the creatures in the room to clearly understand what she meant.
Regent's facial expression had become somewhat numb. She even wondered if today was a strange day, with so many major events happening in quick succession.
Liya poked her head out and looked at Ye Nanxiao with curiosity, while the latter even saw a hint of eagerness in her eyes.
"Is this unlucky kid trying to become a spirit too?"
Ye Nanxiao looked at the determined Moyin during the interview, then asked, "Are you sure?"
Mo Yin nodded slightly. "I'm sure this wasn't just a momentary impulse!"
"Please wait a moment, I'll call the High Priest."
Ye Nanxiao turned and walked outside, summoning the mermaid high priest.
While standing in the outer corridor, pondering how to assist Ye Nanxiao in finding suitable volunteer sea spirit beasts to participate in the soul ritual, the mermaid high priest even broke off two of his whiskers.
Just as he was pondering, Ye Nanxiao suddenly walked out of the room and said, "High Priest, the participant in the soul ritual has been found."
"Huh!? Found it?" The mermaid high priest was taken aback upon hearing this.
We were just discussing it, how come we've already found it?
Moreover, the mermaid high priest looked at the door and wondered if the Grand Duke had decided to launch a forceful attack and forcibly capture a sea overlord.
Based on Regent's accumulated experience over the years, it's actually quite possible!
After all, Regent's way of thinking is no longer that of a simple mermaid.
Thinking of this, the mermaid high priest hurriedly went into the room, while Ye Nanxiao followed behind him, one step behind.
"Your Highness! What's going on!"
The mermaid high priest came up and looked at Regent, asking for the reason.
The question mark that had appeared above Regent's head turned into two.
What happened?
She was still in a daze.
"A participant in the soul ritual! Your Highness, do you already have a target?" the mermaid high priest asked anxiously.
He was really afraid that Regent would run off to some sea area and drag back a sea overlord.
The reputation of the mermaid race is not important; the main problem is that doing this will trigger a series of issues.
"High Priest, I am the participant in the soul ritual," the demonic voice said.
The merman high priest glanced at the demonic voice. "It's you? What? Which sea area are you going to capture a tyrant?"
His mind subconsciously connected with his previous thoughts, because Moyin's behavior was also quite fierce.
After the words were spoken, the mermaid high priest began to ponder the words of the demonic voice.
In an instant, his eyes widened, and he pulled out a small tuft of his beard without even realizing it.
"You...you shouldn't speak yet!"
The merman high priest scratched his head, tossed away the few whiskers in his hand, then took a deep breath and formed a strange hand seal.
"Mental uplift! Hallucinations dispelled!"
The merman high priest, having buffed himself, turned around. "Alright, what did you say again?"
He actually heard the demonic voice clearly, but he didn't believe it.
After all, the content of that sentence was too explosive.
"High Priest, I've made up my mind. I want to become Ye Nanxiao's next soul spirit." The demonic voice repeated its answer.
The answer was firm and resounding.
"Oh, the vast ocean, may our merman ancestors bless us!"
The mermaid high priest muttered incantations and made a strange hand gesture.
Ye Nanxiao looked at Xue Di, wanting to know what had happened in the room while he was away.
Could it be that Xue Di kidnapped Mo Yin for me, the fox?
Xue Di noticed Ye Nanxiao's gaze and immediately rolled her eyes at him.
This fox is asking for trouble; it needs a good beating!
The atmosphere in the room was quiet for a short while before Moyin took the initiative to break the silence.
"High Priest, I have made up my mind! Please allow me to participate in the soul ritual!"
Moyin explained her reasons to the mermaid high priest.
The same words, and the same unwilling heart.
After hearing the demonic voice's reply, the high priest of the merfolk fell silent. As the high priest of the merfolk, he was quite familiar with every powerful member of the merfolk.
Therefore, he understood that Mo Yin's resentment was very strong, and if not handled properly, it would most likely turn into a demon in her heart in the future.
"Please, Your Majesty, I respect your choice." The merman high priest did not object.
Regent immediately used a secret technique to contact the Mermaid Queen.
Since it concerned a powerful mermaid, the Mermaid Queen set off almost the instant Regent contacted her, appearing in the room within a few breaths.
After understanding the whole story, the Mermaid Queen thought for a while and chose to respect Moyin's choice, since the current Mermaid Kingdom could not guarantee that Moyin would recover.
If Ye Nanxiao has the ability to restore the Demonic Sound, then it's not impossible.
"Your Majesty, I am very grateful for your permission, and I am also grateful for Moyin's choice. It is my honor to have a partner like Moyin choose me!"
"I assure Your Majesty that I will do my utmost to help the merfolk within my capabilities until I leave this world."
"At the same time, I will use all my strength to fight against the Abyss."
Ye Nanxiao pointed to his palm and made a vow.
The Mermaid Queen nodded slowly, a fleeting look of appreciation in her eyes.
What she wanted was Ye Nanxiao's attitude.
Immediately afterward, Ye Nanxiao looked at Moyin and extended his right hand. "If you're sure you want to become my partner and walk alongside me from now on, then tell me your wish, and we'll fulfill it together!"
Mo Yin looked up at Ye Nanxiao. This time their eyes met. Although Mo Yin still felt a little shy, she did not look away, but instead took Ye Nanxiao's big hand.
"My wish is already contained in your vow! I believe you will fulfill it!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Nanxiao smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, our wish will definitely come true."
The Mermaid Queen took a deep breath, and then a mermaid scepter appeared in her hand.
The latest novel is first published here!
"In the name of the Mermaid Queen, I bear witness to your vows!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a circle of azure water ripples suddenly spread out, sweeping past the feet of Ye Nanxiao and the others.
Ye Nanxiao, Huo Yuhao, and the demon spirit were all puzzled about what the Mermaid Queen was going to do.
The next moment, Moyin forcefully propped herself up, staring at Ye Nanxiao. She opened her left hand and quickly slashed her right hand across her palm, leaving a trail of bright red blood. The blood then slowly floated in the water, forming a strange pattern.
"I swear by my soul that I will follow Ye Nanxiao for the rest of my life and stay by his side!"
"I swear on my body that I will stand before Ye Nanxiao and fight for him!"
"Guided by my own blood! I swear an oath with Ye Nanxiao! I make a blood oath!"
The pattern in Moyin's hand slowly faded, and all the living beings present felt a strange energy gathering in Moyin's hand.
Ye Nanxiao seemed to understand what Mo Yin meant. He took a step forward and made a cut on his left palm, letting his blood flow out.
Two bloodied hands slowly came together.
The beating of each other's hearts, transmitted through the blood, allows the other person to feel it.
"In the name of the High Priest, I bear witness to this blood oath!" The Mermaid High Priest clasped his hands together in front of him, closed his eyes, and spoke with piety and solemnity.
The Mermaid Queen gently shook her mermaid scepter, and then a drop of golden water flew out, landing above Mo Yin and Ye Nanxiao's palms, before exploding and turning into tiny golden droplets that scattered down.
Ye Nanxiao suddenly felt an unusual throbbing in his heart, as if a new heartbeat had appeared inside his body.
When he met Moyin's gaze, he could clearly see a hint of shyness and determination in her eyes.
"So, this is the heartbeat of the demonic voice."
The slightly rapid heartbeat gradually slowed down, matching Ye Nanxiao's heartbeat speed.
Then, Ye Nanxiao felt a clear connection established between himself and the demonic sound, accompanied by each heartbeat.
"The Mermaid Blood Oath, is sworn!"
The Mermaid Queen announced in a solemn and dignified voice.
Huo Yuhao opened his mouth slightly. He remembered that the Mermaid Blood Oath was the highest oath of the Mermaid race, a vow made with life and soul, a grand and beautiful oath.
Once it's established, there's no way to change it!
This means that the mermaid blood oath that Mo Yin made means that her life will no longer belong to herself, but to Ye Nanxiao!
As a naturally intelligent race living in the sea, the merfolk place great importance on the blood oath of merfolk.
Not only must they pass the merman's own test, but they also need two other mermen as witnesses to the blood oath, one of whom is responsible for witnessing the blood oath and the other for announcing its establishment.
Afterwards, the two mermaids who witnessed the blood oath spread the word.
It's similar to announcing that something good has happened.
Because of the blood oath, no matter where the blood oath holder goes or what they do, the merman must follow them.
The reason why Huo Yuhao was able to remember the explanation of the mermaid blood oath recorded in the ancient book so clearly was because the conditions for ending the blood oath gave him a great shock.
The condition for the mermaid blood oath to end is that one of them dies and the flame of life is extinguished.
If the blood oath holder dies, the mermaid will not live on alone, but will surely follow him.
How romantic and poignant! This was the kind of love Huo Yuhao pursued, which is why he remembered it so clearly.
Seeing Ye Nanxiao and Moyin make their vows, Huo Yuhao clapped his hands and, like Lijing and the others, offered his blessings.
However, a lingering sadness remained in his eyes, which he could not shake off.
"Dong'er, I miss you so much."
At this moment, he missed Wang Dong'er, he missed her terribly.
But he didn't know when Wang Dong'er would wake up, and until then, he was not allowed to set foot on Haotianbao's territory.
Ye Nanxiao was immersed in the shock brought by the Mermaid Blood Oath. Along with the heartbeat of the demonic voice, information about the Mermaid Blood Oath also entered his mind.
"What should I call you? Nanxiao? Axiao? Xiao'er?"
"Pick one you like, whatever you call me, it will sound nice and I'll like it. So what should I call you? Little Yinyin~"
"No! I'm older than you!" (End of Chapter)
