Tong Gua’s Forge – Mansion of the Dead, Beiqi.

Lu Wu was left speechless as he watched Tong Gua lie back down on the bed, not caring at all about Xiao Tian. He then roared again, waking Tong Gua up.

“Aren’t they just recruiting a weakling? It’s such a trivial matter but still, I have to get my hands dirty. Sigh, one has to be tolerable when you’re living under the same roof.”

Tong Gua was nagging as he got up from his bed, then he strode toward Xiao Tian and gave him a kick before saying, “Hey, repeat after me.”

Xiao Tian was speechless.

“I swear in the presence of reincarnation,” after finishing the first sentence, Tong Gua realized Xiao Tian remained quiet, so he fired another kick.

“Do you not hear what I’m asking you to do? Are you fooling around with me by keeping quiet?”

Xiao Tian cursed in his mind. If you truly want me to read that shit, then remove this leaf that’s covering my mouth, I seriously think that you did this intentionally just to have a few blows at me for fun.

As if he understood Xiao Tian’s condition, Tong Gua let out another sigh. With a wave of his wing toward Xiao Tian’s mouth, the leaves were sliced apart in a second.

“You can recite it now…”

“Who are you? Where am I?” Xiao Tian asked as soon as his mouth was freed.

“Who am I?” Tong Gua’s face gradually brightened up.

“Little Xiao Tian, I busted your boss a few days ago, who do you think I am!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian froze, he looked up to scrutinize Tong Gua carefully, his face growing paler.

“You… you’re the Ghost King Tong Gua!”

“Hehe, since you now know how much of a badass I am, you’d better behave, or else I have thousands of ways to torture you miserably. Also, if you are obedient, you may have the chance to get your revenge.”

“Revenge?” Xiao Tian was awestruck.

“Didn’t you get these injuries from the Sea King? Don’t you just loathe him?” as he spoke, Tong Gua picked up a bottle of wine and shook it, realizing it was empty, he then threw it on the floor again.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian’s heart was filled with wrath.

He had been working wholeheartedly for the Sea King his whole life, making his way up to become one of the heads of the Sea King Navy, but the Sea King ignored their relationship and had nearly killed him. If it was not for his subordinates helping him, there was no way he could breathe in this world again.

“I do!”

Since he had broken his ties with the Sea King, he had nothing to hide, and so Xiao Tian replied straight away.

“So do you want to get even?”

“Yes, but…” as he recalled how strong the Sea King was, Xiao Tian immediately went weak.

As the head of the Sea King Navy, he clearly understood how powerful the Sea King was.

His power was beyond the strength of the Ghost King Peak Realm, and on top of that, he had an enormous navy. Considering his own capabilities, there was no way he could get vengeance for himself.

“No buts. If you want vengeance, I’ll help you,” Tong Gua crouched down with a smile plastered on his face.

“You’ll help me?” Xiao Tian was bewildered as he looked at Tong Gua who was grinning from ear to ear.

If it was Tong Gua, Xiao Tian believed that Tong Gua’s strength was on par with the Sea King. After all, the news of the Sea King being severely beaten by Tong Gua back then was widely spread so he had heard of it before.

However, he did not believe Tong Gua would help him without a price.

“Just tell me what you want. I’m only left with my pathetic life, I can’t give you anything.”

“That’s it, your pathetic life is what I want. From now on, you’ll stay loyal to me… us.”

“Fine!” Xiao Tian agreed without hesitating. After all, it was only a promise. He had nothing to lose.

“It’s not as easy as you imagined, now repeat after me,” Tong Gua patted Xiao Tian’s head as he asserted.

“What do you want me to recite?” Xiao Tian felt slightly uneasy.

“The Oath of Soul Allegiance!” Tong Gua was honest. After all, with Xiao Tian’s level of understanding, he would grasp it along the way when he recited.

“What! Soul Allegiance!?” Xiao Tian was stupefied.

“After you recite this, I promise your wounds will recover and you’ll defeat the Sea King for sure. It’s not a bad deal, is it? Your pathetic life in exchange for the Sea King,” Tong Gua was not anxious at all, instead, he spoke in a calm and composed manner.

Lu Wu was impressed even though he was only watching from the outside world. Tong Gua could surely put on a show. Xiao Tian was totally falling into his lies.

“Okay! I promise you,” though there was a trace of unwillingness in his heart.

However, as Tong Gua had mentioned, the Sea King’s life in exchange for his would be worth it in every way.

Moreover, if he could not get treatment now, his health would gradually worsen, and soon he would meet his end. Perhaps committing to Tong Gua was not a bad thing. Although Tong Gua’s influence was not as great as the Sea King’s, his own strength was way stronger.

Seeing that Xiao Tian had given his word, Tong Gua nodded composedly.

“Good, repeat after me…”

After reciting the Oath of Soul Allegiance, Xiao Tian’s silhouette was immediately sucked into the Artifact Channel. The artifact ran on its own and began to digitize Xiao Tian.

As a result of Xiao Tian’s powerful strength, the digitalization continued for exactly half an hour. After the digitalization had finished, a gust of soul power flowed into Xiao Tian’s body, healing his internal wounds completely. Xiao Tian was sent out of the Artifact Channel later on.

Upon seeing Xiao Tian’s second appearance, Tong Gua patted his shoulder.

“Boy, take a look at what’s loaded into your brain and you’ll finally know what you’ve gotten yourself into now. Oh right, you’re now my subordinate, kiddo. From now on, when I forge weapons, you’ll make the fire, also, you need to know how to clean the rooms, do the laundry, and cook.”

Xiao Tian clenched his fist, a look of surprise printed all over his face. His heavily injured self was restored in that short period, but he suddenly froze when he heard the words that had come out of Tong Gua’s mouth.

I, a mighty Ghost General, need to make a fire? Do laundry? Cook? Clean?

When Xiao Tian was dumbstruck, lines after lines of messages emerged in his brain. At that moment, he finally came into a realization of what he got himself into.

“Boss… Tong Gua, are you a subordinate, too?” Xiao Tian pointed upward as he spoke.

“Yeah, I boarded the pirate ship by accident and I can never get down,” Tong Gua lamented.

“So, who on earth are our superiors?”

Xiao Tian had never seen Lu Wu and Bei Li before, hence he questioned curiously.

“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t! Get your job done… don’t you see all these wine bottles on the floor, go clean them. Damn it, how could I have lived in this chaotic house, it’s literally a pigpen, go clean it up now!” As he pointed at all the wine bottles on the floor, Tong Gua could not help but nag.

Xiao Tian was speechless.

Although he had many questions about the identity of the artifact’s manipulators, Xiao Tian did not dare ask anything further.

To him, individuals who were so capable of making such a horrific artifact must be an underworld god. It would not take too much effort to finish off a Ghost General like him, not to mention a sturdy Ghost King like Tong Gua who had also submitted to them. It seemed like he had nothing to complain about.

Glancing at the messy house, Xiao Tian sighed. He had no choice but to start cleaning.

He would eventually get his sweet revenge, but first, he needed to clean!
