Exchange with life!
Chen Nan looked at him and nodded, "I can give you my life, but you must wait until she wakes up."
Seeing that he agreed without thinking, Liu Zhong couldn't help frowning, "Agreeing so readily, shouldn't you reconsider?"
"Unless you can change the condition, there's no need to reconsider."
At this moment, Chen Nan had already seen beyond life and death. As long as he could get the spring water to save his junior sister, not to mention this life, even if it cost his next life, he wouldn't hesitate for a second.
"Perhaps, I really can offer a different condition."
Liu Zhong looked at Chen Nan, wearing a smile that was difficult to understand, and said, "I heard from Tiantian that the person you want to save is your junior sister?"
Chen Nan nodded and asked, "I wonder what condition Senior Liu can replace it with?"
Liu Zhong did not answer his question and after a moment of silence said, "Do you know why Tiantian didn't come out to find you yesterday?"
"Why?"
"Because I locked her up," Liu Zhong said.
Chen Nan frowned, saying urgently, "She's your own daughter, why would you do that?"
"Precisely because she's my daughter, she made a mistake, so I must punish her even more!" Liu Zhong's face turned cold, his eyes staring at Chen Nan, "For a man whose heart is with someone else, she dared to confront her own father the first time they met? Do you think she shouldn't be punished?"
Chen Nan shook his head, "Tiantian is innocent by nature and doesn't understand all these social intricacies. Senior Liu is a master from beyond the mundane; if your anger is hard to dispel, take it out on me, why trouble a little girl?"
"Humph, she's my daughter, do you think my care for her can't match yours?" Liu Zhong said with a cold face.
Chen Nan's tone was neither good nor bad, "Senior Liu, you speak too seriously, I just can't bear Tiantian being restrained by you."
Liu Zhong slapped the stone table, "You kid dare to contradict me!"
"I do not dare," Chen Nan said calmly. "Senior Liu, as the head of the Liu family, you must be an insightful and just leader, so I dared to speak my mind, hoping for your forgiveness."
"From what you just said, if I insist on keeping Tiantian locked, does that mean I am foolish and unworthy of being the head of the Liu family?"
Chen Nan shook his head and smiled gently, "Senior Liu has your own plans, I dare not presume."
"You're the first to speak to me like this while asking for something!" Liu Zhong glared at Chen Nan and said, "I can give you the Water of Life, and I won't take your life, but you must agree to three conditions."
Chen Nan looked at him puzzled.
Liu Zhong said, "First, marry Tiantian as your wife. Second, you must not have any contact with your junior sister or any other woman in the future. Third, use your blood to resurrect someone for me."
Without any consideration, Chen Nan shook his head directly, "Senior, if that's the case, I'd still prefer to exchange with life."
Liu Zhong's face instantly became cold, "What do you mean?"
These three conditions, the first one Chen Nan could barely accept, but the second one, even if it cost his life, he could never accept: "In this life and this world, even if I must face mountains of daggers and seas of flames, I will never abandon her!"
For his junior sister, whether in terms of affection or gratitude, she weighed more than his own life a million times!
Liu Zhong's eyes flared with anger, "So you would rather disappoint Tiantian's sincere heart for you? She's no longer a complete woman, if you don't take responsibility, who will?"
"I certainly won't disappoint Tiantian, but I cannot disappoint others either."
Liu Zhong slapped the stone table again. This time, in a surge of anger, he smashed the table into pieces, "You brat, are you looking to die? My daughter is the eldest lady of the Liu family, and you want her as a concubine!"
"Senior, you misunderstood, I have absolutely no such intention."
Chen Nan indeed never considered things like concubines; in his view, all wives are equal.
Liu Zhong snorted coldly, stood up, and said, "If it's a misunderstanding, then marry her as your wife and sever all ties with your junior sister from now on!"
Chen Nan shook his head, though he didn't speak, he had long since made his intentions clear.
Liu Zhong stared at Chen Nan, and after a while, suddenly patted Chen Nan's shoulder, laughing heartily, "Good kid, worthy of being Xuan Tianji's disciple, worthy of being favored by the Dragon Emperor, loyal and righteous, no wonder my daughter is head over heels for you."
Chen Nan was stunned; was this old man joking the whole time?
"Alright, I won't force you. I can give you the Water of Life, but you have to use your blood to save someone for me," Liu Zhong said.
Chen Nan looked at him puzzled and asked, "My blood can save people?"
Liu Zhong nodded, "Your blood, is it true that it's capable of restraining evil things?"
"Indeed, senior, do you know why?"
Chen Nan had always been curious about this, like the war corpses of the Corpse-controlling Sect. Normally, the combat shells were impenetrable, but as long as they touched his blood, they'd be corroded instantly, making them as easy to kill as cutting vegetables.
"Because you possess Pure Yang Blood, and this Pure Yang Bloodline, only in ancient times..." Liu Zhong seemed to realize he had said too much and quickly stopped, "And now, you've merged with the Divine Dragon Bloodline, and your blood can be called the supreme of Heaven and Earth."
"Ancient what?"
Chen Nan was very curious about what Liu Zhong didn't finish saying.
Liu Zhong shook his head, "By then, go home and ask your master."
Since Liu Zhong was unwilling to say, Chen Nan could only ask, "The person who needs my blood for resurrection, who are they?"
"The ancestor of the Liu family," Liu Zhong said.
The Liu family ancestor is dead?
Chen Nan was shocked and quickly asked, "The senior who created this Illusion Realm?"
Liu Zhong nodded, "Yes, my ancestor was peerless in cultivation in those days, but fell in an ancient war. To prevent his resurrection, the Heavenly People Clan drained his divine blood and sealed his remains thousands of meters underground, burning with hellfire."
"Yet even so, the ancestor's body remained indestructible and was rescued by our mortal world's strong allies after the ancient war ended."
"Now, my ancestor's spiritual sense has gradually gathered again. As long as his fleshly body revives, there is hope to reunite his divine soul and bring him back to life. But since his divine blood has been drained by the Heavenly People Clan, the only way now to revive his body is your blood."
After hearing this, Chen Nan nodded, "The ancestors who once protected the mortal world are worthy of admiration. Now there is hope to revive the senior, I will certainly have no hesitation. However, roughly how much blood is needed to revive his body?"
"A cup will do," Liu Zhong said, gesturing the size with his hands.
Chen Nan almost spat out old blood, swallowing and saying, "Senior are you sure this measurement is still considered a cup and not a basin?"
