Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 374: Contribute

"I cannot force them to agree. However, can we at least give them the free will to accept it or not?" Sung Zhi Ruo asked.

"In this way, it is in their hands to save themselves. If something happened, regardless it is good or bad they can only blame themselves." She continued as she looked intently to the deacon.

Before Ma Fei Hong can reply, Elder Gu from the Sung clan approached them. "Deacon Ma, it is not that I am disrespecting you, but I am sorry, I just cannot give even if just a very tiny part of my soul even if I die, unless it is the Sung Master who I have pledged my loyalty to... I hope you understand..." Elder Gu clan spoke carefully.

Then he added assuringly when Ma Fei Hong frowned, "I am already old but I can still last longer than the others. I assure you that I will expense all my remaining spiritual energy to maintain the barrier."

Ma Fei Hong considered it for a moment and finally relented. "Very well. The stones with written spells anyway are not a lot. Then fine! If you don't want to contribute then don't! I am not forcing every one of you but you all know that we are on the rough spot here!" Ma Fei Hong reminded. " I guess I just need to have someone fill it then the rest can do whatever they want..."

"Of course Deacon Ma! I greatly appreciate your understanding!" Elder Gu cupped his fist to show his gratitude and immediately turned around left the two women to talk to each other again.

On Elder Gu's face is triumphant grin quickly disappears. 'Hmp! Do you think you can fool me? Justice Affairs experimented their officers and I will not be part of it!' Elder Gu thought to himself.

Elder Gu did not know that in the near future he will beg to have even just a very tiny piece of stone but can't find any. At that time, he will feel regret that will almost cause him to cough blood.

"Do you think there will be no problem?" Sung Zhi Ruo asked carefully after Elder Gu left using sound friction so that the rest will not hear their conversation. "Is it also true that if we crush the stone the magic will disappear and we can get our soul back?"

If that can be done by anyone, instead of oath Sung Zhi Ruo will just have a being surrender a part of his soul for safekeeping. This type of magic though can probably only be done by master casters that are at the peak of their cultivators in the Immortal Domain.

"Is she communicating with her master now?" Sung Zhi Ruo can only conclude that Gao Lan Mei is being helped by a master. After all, it is rumored that she is currently following the Holy Doctor.

"I do not know if she is contacting her master. Yes, the stones just need to be crushed so we are good as new. That's what she said. Sister Gao seems confident about this anyway so it is better than nothing." Ma Fei Hong replied.

Sung Zhi Ruo was surprised, "We? You are also contributing?"

"Of course! I will give all if possible, but I do not think this stone can hold it. I am part evil after all. Hehe." Ma Fei Hong stated before moving quickly to the next batch of experts that she needs to convince.

Sung Zhi Ruo frowned as she held the stone on her hard. The stone gives her warmth and peace.

Despite that, she still feels worried regarding this process. It is never easy to surrender a part of you especially if it was asked by someone else that is not even a family.

Sung Zhi Ruo is skeptical, but remembering what Gao Lan Mei did with the cultivation restriction talisman as well as the magical transportation circle that allows you them to travel underground, she felt more confident as she wills to transfer her own soul to the stone.

This time Sung Zhi Ruo choose to trust Gao Lan Mei, and she just hope that she will not regret it...
