Online Fortune Telling: Your Son Has Another Dad
Chapter 640 - 638: Conditions
"But, Yan Tong was the only one to leave the Divine Temple unscathed."
"You say she’s just a weak woman. How did she manage to escape a temple full of crises?"
"Could it really be as she previously claimed, just incredibly lucky?"
"Do you also remember that the excuse she gave at the foot of the mountain was the same thing he said to us?"
Saying this, Tie Xiong pointed at the bewildered "Diego" in front of him.
After listening to Tie Xiong’s words, Yang Qingshu’s mouth slightly opened, looking perplexed.
Just as Tie Xiong said, Yan Tong’s experience really doesn’t hold up to scrutiny.
Even a warrior king like Marcus died inside the Divine Temple, so how did Yan Tong come out unscathed?
Moreover, the crucial part is that Yan Tong’s explanation was almost identical to what Diego’s former self, Zhang Songkang, had said.
He had heard the explanation about the wish incense burner before without much suspicion.
But now, upon careful thought, it indeed seems outrageous.
Logically speaking, Yan Tong and "Diego" hadn’t met, so why did they say similar things?
Tie Xiong continued: "I suspect that when Yan Tong pushed open the second door, she completely awakened Stone Temple Village."
"That explains why both Diego and the others, as well as us, have come to this place."
"After arriving in Stone Temple Village, Yan Tong underwent a Life Exchange Ceremony with a villager."
"The villager successfully replaced Yan Tong and used the method he knew to leave Stone Temple Village..."
"Oh my!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Qingshu couldn’t help but exclaim.
He mulled over Tie Xiong’s words, and the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.
Marco, Kaine, and the others looked completely bewildered.
Due to Yan Tong’s experiences being highly classified, they knew absolutely nothing about her.
So when they heard Yang Qingshu and Tie Xiong talking about Yan Tong, it was natural for them to be confused.
Tie Xiong turned to "Diego" and asked in a deep voice: "After the Life Exchange Ceremony, what happens to the person whose fate was borrowed?"
"The person whose fate was borrowed will replace our fate and stay forever inside a coffin!"
"Diego" answered truthfully.
Tie Xiong nodded slightly.
This Life Exchange Ceremony, more accurately, is an exchange.
Take Yan Tong, for example.
Tricked into the coffin, Yan Tong becomes the Blood Man inside.
And the Blood Man transforms into her.
After swapping the fate and body, the Blood Man not only escapes the temple priest’s hunt but also leaves Stone Temple Village.
"Where do you place the coffins after the Life Exchange Ceremony?"
Tie Xiong asked again.
"They’re typically placed back in their original homes."
"However, after the Life Exchange Ceremony, the person inside the coffin is hunted by the temple priest."
"Thus, their chances of surviving are very slim..."
"Diego" replied slowly.
"In this case, does Yan Tong still have a chance to survive?"
Yang Qingshu couldn’t help but sigh.
Apart from Yan Tong, Zhang Songkang and others also had their fate borrowed.
These people turned into Blood Men inside the coffins and had to face the hunt of the black-robed temple priests.
As ordinary people, who could evade such a hunt?
"Divine Envoy Lord, I think I can guess who borrowed Yan Tong’s fate..."
At that moment, "Diego" suddenly interrupted.
"Oh?"
Tie Xiong and Yang Qingshu heard this and focused their gaze on "Diego."
"I previously thought she had been killed by the temple priest."
"At that time, I thought, with her cleverness and caution, she shouldn’t have died at the hands of the temple priest?"
"Now it seems she most likely discovered Yan Tong first and successfully coaxed her into a Life Exchange Ceremony..."
"Diego" continued eloquently.
"What conditions do you propose?"
Seeing his demeanor, Tie Xiong knew this guy wanted to negotiate.
"Hehe!"
"Diego" feigned embarrassment, smiled slightly, and whispered: "I want to ask the two Divine Envoys to take me away from here!"
"Leave here?"
Yang Qingshu raised an eyebrow and curiously asked: "Now that the temple priest is dead and you have no natural enemies, why not stay?"
"Divine Envoy Lord, you have no idea..."
"Diego" gave a bitter smile and said: "After the Life Exchange Ceremony, we need to find targets to swap bodies with at intervals."
"If there’s no living person to swap with, we can only lie back in the coffin."
"If we fail to swap with a living body and don’t return to the coffin, we will quickly dissolve..."
After this explanation, Yang Qingshu and Tie Xiong exchanged glances.
They hadn’t expected the curse of the Blood God to be so strong; even after swapping bodies, swapping fate, the curse still couldn’t be stopped.
They could only continuously switch bodies and fate to delay the curse.
"As long as you, Divine Envoy Lord, guarantee to take me out, I will help you find Yan... Yan Tong!"
"Diego" rolled his eyes and, observing Tie Xiong’s expression, tentatively said.
Tie Xiong pondered for a moment and then nodded: "Alright!"
"Then please follow me, Divine Envoy Lords!"
"Diego" saw him nod and grinned broadly.
Tie Xiong witnessed this, exchanged a glance with Yang Qingshu, then voluntarily followed suit.
Yang Qingshu and Tongtai stayed.
"Mr. Yang, what are you actually talking about?"
"You seem to have made some kind of deal with that monster?"
Seeing Tie Xiong and "Diego" leave, Marco couldn’t help but ask.
"We discovered that a monster has already left here and entered our world."
"So we are investigating!"
Hearing this, Yang Qingshu replied seriously.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Marco and the others immediately looked shocked.
They never expected that the conversation between the two and the monster was about this.
"Could Yang be deliberately deceiving us?"
Marco thought about it and felt it was outrageous.
He secretly exchanged eye signals with Kaine and the others, and a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes.
Yang Qingshu could naturally see their suspicion and said with a smile: "I have no reason to deceive you."
"When Mr. Tie returns, you’ll naturally understand."
"Hehe!"
Marco, seeing his thoughts exposed, awkwardly laughed.
No one else spoke, keeping their thoughts to themselves.
About ten minutes later, Tie Xiong and Diego reappeared before everyone.
But this time, unlike before, a black coffin had appeared on Tie Xiong’s shoulder.
This coffin was almost identical to the coffins of those villagers they had seen before.
