Chapter 169: The Bond of Fate

After all, the reason why Mingshe was able to kill William so quickly was because the initial sonic attack played a significant role, severely injuring William and laying the foundation for victory.

In reality, the gap between William and Mingshe was not that large. If William had known his enemy well, he might have been able to defeat that Mingshe.

Therefore, the easiest target to deal with now is actually this Mingshe.

Its ability, first of all, is that the entire glass cover vibrates, causing William’s ears to bleed and leaving him unable to react for a long time. The barbed tail also attacked him.

If one is prepared in advance, the chances of success are extremely high.

Immediately, Long Hanjie said, “Should I go or you?”

Ye Xuan replied calmly, “You go, the Ancestral Dragon has a better chance against the Mingshe.”

Ye Xuan’s strength is more than enough to choose a stronger opponent. So he left the Mingshe to Long Hanjie.

Upon hearing this, Long Hanjie expressed his gratitude, “Thanks, brother.”

As Long Hanjie spoke, he strode forward, then, while the Awakeners of the Eurasian Union and the United States were still fearful, he reached out and touched the glass cover.

The next moment, Long Hanjie’s body appeared inside the glass cover.

Meanwhile, a system prompt sounded in Ye Xuan’s ear, “Congratulations, host, the favorability of your friend Long Hanjie has increased to fifty points. You can now perform one advanced draw. Would you like to draw?”

Upon hearing this system prompt, Ye Xuan was quite surprised. He hadn’t expected that by giving Long Hanjie the opportunity to kill Mingshe, he would be so grateful, causing his favorability to skyrocket to fifty points.

Ye Xuan didn’t understand. Although Long Hanjie was quite charismatic now, he also felt a lot of pressure. He had received too many resources and too much attention, even his countless children were raised by the state.

He was eager to prove himself worthy of these sacrifices and the country’s heavy investment.

However, he had failed to reach the top of the Hidden Dragon Ranking twice, being surpassed by Ye Xuan and Su Mengli.

He lost to a couple that didn’t receive as many national resources and benefits as he did.

Although Long Hanjie far surpassed this couple in terms of offspring, his strength still couldn’t match Ye Xuan’s. This made him feel guilty for the country’s investment in him.

This time, exploring the ruins, Long Hanjie didn’t say much on the surface, but secretly, he was gearing up.

He must perform well in this exploration, obtain enough treasures, and prove his own worth.

By giving him the opportunity to kill Mingshe and seize the treasure, Ye Xuan had given him what Long Hanjie desired most at the moment. That’s why his favorability had soared.

Watching Long Hanjie inside the glass cover, Ye Xuan chuckled to himself, “Brother, you may have earned something, but I will never lose. Thanks! System, proceed with the draw directly!”

Long Hanjie is an SSS-class genius. Among the people Ye Xuan currently knows, besides Su Mengli, Long Hanjie is the only SSS-class genius. The advanced draw that obtained the Dog Curse before was provided by Long Hanjie.

And now, he could perform an advanced draw again, which naturally delighted Ye Xuan.

Even if he didn’t draw the Dog Curse, an item of similar value would suffice!

After a moment, the system prompt sounded, “Congratulations, host, you have drawn the Bond of Fate!”

Bond of Fate: An exclusive item between the host and the Empress, bound by fate, sharing life and death, prosperity and decline.

Upon hearing this system prompt, Ye Xuan was stunned. Bond of Fate? Sharing life and death?

Does that mean as long as one person is alive, the other won’t die?

And Mengli possessed the Dog Curse, granting her immortality. So, having this Bond of Fate would be equivalent to granting himself immortality as well?

After all, the immortality granted by the Dog Curse represents endless vitality, and half of that is still endless!

Long Hanjie truly was his lucky star. First, he gave him the Dog Curse, and now he gave him the Bond of Fate, allowing both himself and Mengli to possess immortality.

He must take the opportunity to repay him and try to increase his favorability to seventy. Who knows, there might be a pleasant surprise?

At this moment, inside the glass cover, Long Hanjie had transformed into the true form of the Ancestral Dragon and was battling the Mingshe.

Fearing a sudden attack from the Mingshe, Long Hanjie immediately transformed into the true form of the Ancestral Dragon upon entering the interior of the glass cover.

As Long Hanjie appeared, the Mingshe also moved instantly, using the same terrifying screech as before.

In the form of the Ancestral Dragon, Long Hanjie’s defense was not weak. Although the screech of the Mingshe made him uncomfortable, at least it didn’t cause his ears to bleed like it did to William.

Subsequently, the Mingshe, with its four pairs of wings flapping, swiftly charged towards Long Hanjie, who met it head-on.

Although in the form of the Ancestral Dragon and still in his juvenile form, his size was much larger than that of the Mingshe. In the current battle, the Ancestral Dragon completely dominated.

The battle between the dragon and the snake caused a storm within the glass container, with dark clouds covering the top of the container, accompanied by flashes of lightning, as if it were a small world inside.

Long Hanjie understood the methods of the Mingshe and, coupled with the fact that the Ancestral Dragon naturally restrained snakes, he quickly gained the upper hand, pressing down on the Mingshe.

However, as the fight went on, Long Hanjie suddenly felt that the Mingshe looked somewhat charming.

Its snake scales were smooth and delicate, its teeth were white and sharp, its tail hook had an amazing curve, and its body was slender and graceful. In an instant, Long Hanjie thought of some of his wives…

This was the instinct of the Ancestral Dragon at work. Long Hanjie had always been selecting partners based on his own aesthetics, and now his true form had encountered a type he liked, causing him to feel restless.

But soon after, this desire was suppressed by Long Hanjie. After all, he was currently inside the glass display.

Outside, not only were there other Awakeners from China, but also foreign friends. If he were to publicly display a dragon-snake pairing, he would lose face in front of the whole world.

Immediately, Long Hanjie accelerated his movements, his dragon claws grabbing the Mingshe’s head and tail hook separately, then exerting force.

With a dragon’s roar, the Mingshe’s body was torn in half, followed by the sound of shattering glass.

The glass display shattered, and Long Hanjie’s body appeared outside the glass display, holding a green fruit that resembled a ginseng fruit.
