516 Hidden Oath 516 Hidden Oath Demon Moon’s body shook.
The current Sea Charm had become so powerful, even she was in awe.
But she remained calm, saying indifferently, “If you kill me, your master will die too!”
Sea Charm frowned.
She looked at Jiang Fan in confusion.
“It’s true.”
Jiang Fan said helplessly,
“I accidentally got infected with her Heart Connection Worm.”
“Our lives are now linked.”
What?
Sea Charm was stunned on the spot.
Her astonished gaze darted between the Demon Moon Priest and Jiang Fan.
“How did you end up like this?”
From her perspective,
they were the least likely pair to become hosts of the Heart Connection Worm.
One was from the Human Clan, and the other from the Demon Race.
One was at the Second Level of Core Formation, while the other was at the Ninth Layer.
One was a disciple of the Nine-Sect, while the other was a Demon Priest.
How did they become each other’s mates?
To this day, Jiang Fan still felt angry when he recalled it. He shot a glance at Demon Moon, saying,
“Various reasons led to this.”
“At this point, it’s useless to talk about it.”
“You, now a Demon King, must surely know how to break the Heart Connection Worm, right?”
As a high-ranking member of the Demon Race, Sea Charm should know more than Jian Linyuan.
Sea Charm shook her head with a bitter smile, “Master, don’t even think about it.”
“You should be thankful that the recent generations of priests are relatively gentle.”
“It’s said that in the early days, the vows inscribed on the Heart Connection Worm were extremely harsh.”
“Even, one could say, they were very wicked.”
“Some required the man to mate within a certain period, so the priestess could bear children; otherwise, he would die from body explosion.”
“Some required the man to marry into the priest’s family and serve them for life.”
“Even after bearing children, to ensure no half-siblings from different mothers, some killed the man immediately.”
“It was too cruel, and gradually no one was willing to join with the priests, which is why it became gentler.”
Jiang Fan felt his scalp tingle as he listened.
In the early days, the priests essentially treated men like slaves.
He looked at Demon Moon with growing resentment.
The latter bit her lip guiltily, saying, “That was all over a hundred years ago.”
“There’s none of that now.”
Sea Charm glanced at her with distrust, saying,
“Indeed, there’s no more harsh and wicked vows.”
“But there are still some restrictions, for sure.”
“Demon Moon Priestess, could you tell us all the vows inscribed on your Heart Connection Worm?”
“To prevent my master from accidentally triggering them. If he dies, you’ll be implicated too.”
Demon Moon’s heart tightened.
She hurriedly said, “The restriction on me is absolute loyalty.”
“The restriction on him is no beating or scolding.”
“That’s all.”
Sea Charm narrowed her eyes, saying,
“That’s the generic vow inscribed by every generation of priests.”
“There must be other restrictive vows.”
“Don’t hide anything.”
