The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy-Chapter 111 - . I can swear

Chapter 111: 111. I can swear

In the Divine Soul Realm, the seven gourd children huddled together.

They had been waiting here for a full day.

Xiao Ba had returned once before, but had not come back since, and they were unclear about the situation outside.

Sixth child whispered, “I hope nothing has happened to Xiao Ba.”

Third child firmly said, “No, Xiao Ba is stronger than all seven of us combined. Nothing will have happened.”

Sixth child dared not say anything more, but she did not agree with third sister’s words. Xiao Ba was formidable, but too naïve and easily deceived, and it had been a whole day without any news.

If there were no problems, she should have returned by now.

Seeing the morale dropping, eldest child spoke up, “The duration of our union is almost up, Xiao Ba will definitely be back before it ends, and we’ll know soon enough if there’s any trouble.”

She was actually also worried, but was afraid that speaking up would be useless and might dampen spirits, so she kept it to herself.

In fact, eldest child also did not wish to send such a naïve child as Xiao Ba to face the enemy, but Xiao Ba was their only trump card, and they had to use her in this difficult situation.

After a silence, Xiao Ba’s figure suddenly appeared within the Divine Soul Realm.

The gourds breathed a sigh of relief, quickly gathering around, bombarding her with questions.

Finally, third child quieted everyone down, and eldest child took the opportunity to ask, “Xiao Ba, how are the bad guys outside?”

Xiao Ba shook her head, repeating what Fang Zhou had taught her to say, “Big sister, I couldn’t beat them. The brother outside caught me, then let me go.”

Here, Xiao Ba made a mistake in her reply—she was supposed to refer to Fang Zhou as the bad guy, as Fang Zhou had taught her, but she still called him brother instead.

Fortunately, the gourds didn’t notice this, nor could they imagine that Xiao Ba had already turned traitor, acknowledging someone else as her brother outside.

“He caught you and then let you go, is he that powerful?”

Eldest child asked, visibly shocked.

Xiao Ba’s prowess was best known by these elder sisters; in the past, even their grandfather could hardly handle her when they let her run wild at Lanruo Temple.

That she could have been captured by that man outside.

Surely he must have used some despicable tactics, as after all, that’s how they all ended up inside the gourd.

Eldest child wanted to ask more details, but Xiao Ba yawned, “Big sister, I am sleepy. I want to sleep now.”

At that moment, eldest child sensed something was wrong. Xiao Ba had always begged them to stay a bit longer, why would she suddenly want to sleep on her own?

She noticed Xiao Ba holding a strange object and immediately asked, “Xiao Ba, what is that? Since when can you bring things here?”

Xiao Ba quickly hugged the Magic Cube to her chest, curled up into a ball, and rolled away.

“Xiao Ba, stop right there.”

Eldest child was about to chase her when suddenly her vision blurred, and she found herself back in the gourd space.

The union time had ended, and the seven gourd children were forced to leave the Divine Soul Realm.

Just as they came out, they saw Fang Zhou not far away, which startled them all, and they instinctively wanted to move into action.

“Stop, I am not here to fight with you.”

Fang Zhou’s loud shout stopped the gourds in their tracks, this was attributed to Xiao Ba’s mistake; otherwise, they definitely wouldn’t have listened to Fang Zhou’s nonsense just now.

Seeing that they had stopped, Fang Zhou continued, “I have a message for you. You can decide whether to fight after listening.”

Eldest child frowned, “What message?”

Fang Zhou looked at her, speaking in an even tone, “Your grandfather is already dead.”

At these words, all the gourd children were severely shaken, some with stunned expressions, and some looked utterly lost.

Little Seven directly shouted at Fang Zhou, “You’re talking nonsense!”

Third Kid’s face was full of anger as he charged towards Fang Zhou, but he was stopped by the First Kid before he could get close.

Third Kid angrily said, “Big Sister, are you still going to listen to his nonsensical ramblings?”

First Kid replied solemnly, “Don’t be impulsive, I can tell truth from lies.”

Seeing the unprecedented serious expression on First Kid’s face, Third Kid was momentarily lost for words.

First Kid turned to look at Fang Zhou, took a deep breath, and said, “I believe Grandpa is already dead. Did you come here to kill us?”

“Big Sister!?”

The other gourd kids became anxious, but First Kid just stared intently at Fang Zhou.

Fang Zhou shook his head, “If I wanted to kill you, I could have done it outside. There’s no need to come in person. I’m here to propose a cooperation.”

Third Kid sneered, “Cooperate? You just want to deceive us into being your minions and sacrificing ourselves for you.”

Well, aren’t you smart now? What took you so long?

Of course, Fang Zhou would not admit to Third Kid’s accusation. This steel-boned Third Kid also had a steel-boned head, too stubborn, and First Kid was easier to communicate with.

He continued to First Kid, “Let me explain to you. I could have killed you all, but now I need some manpower. If you are willing to work for me, I will grant you freedom. If you fear I might deceive, I am willing to take the Heart Demon Oath.”

Hearing the words “Heart Demon Oath,” the gourd kids’ faces turned ugly, and even First Kid started to mock him, “You want to use an oath to deceive us again?”

It was precisely because they had trusted Fang Zhou’s Heart Demon Oath before that they were defeated one by one.

Fang Zhou raised a finger and shook it, “You’re wrong. If I had used the Heart Demon Oath to deceive you, I would have died from violating the oath long ago. My oath was not the problem; the problem was that you mistakenly thought I couldn’t use the gourd. That’s not deception; it’s strategy. In war, deception isn’t frowned upon. You can’t call me a cheat just because you were naive.”

“You…”

First Kid wanted to argue, but she had nothing to say. Although she had gained some experience after being deceived once, arguing was still not her strong suit, same as the other gourd kids.

Fang Zhou continued, “My oaths will not be violated. If you are afraid, I can make a more detailed vow. Work for me, and I will grant you freedom in ten years. A fair cooperation, where no one is the other’s lackey.”

First Kid was silent for a while before saying, “We need to think about it.”

Fang Zhou nodded, “Sure, discuss it. I’ll come back after some time.”

Previously, during the hostilities, he had to deceive the gourd kids, which meant he was tense and nervous throughout the process for fear of being exposed.

This time, he came with sincerity and had no intention to deceive, believing that the gourd kids would see the reality.

Moreover, the gourd kids’ trump card was Vajra Little Gourd, and Vajra Little Gourd had already been turned by Fang Zhou; the remaining seven gourd kids had no way to overturn the situation.

Fang Zhou had won them even at an overall disadvantage; now that he held all the advantages, it was even more straightforward.

After Fang Zhou left, the gourd kids gathered around First Kid, with Third Kid discontentedly saying, “Big Sis, Grandpa can’t possibly be dead. Why do you believe that liar?”

The other gourd kids also looked towards First Kid.

First Kid sighed deeply, “If Grandpa doesn’t come to save us, whether he’s dead or alive, it’s all the same to us.”

“Big Sister, you…”

The gourd kids were stunned, seemingly unable to believe that Big Sister would say something so ‘utterly outrageous.’

“Wake up, sisters. Grandpa has never treated us as family but merely as subordinates that can be sacrificed at will.”

With determination on her face, First Kid said, “I am grateful for Grandpa’s protection, but we have also done a lot for him. Now that we can’t even save ourselves, and Grandpa’s fate is unknown, we have no choice but to save ourselves.”

Compared to Grandpa, First Kid hoped that her sisters could be safe and sound.

Third Kid discontentedly said, “Then we don’t need to cooperate with that liar.”

However, First Kid revealed a bitter smile, “Third Sister, do you think we have a choice? Right now, our very lives are controlled by others.”

Third Kid looked around the boundless gourd space and fell silent.
