"Remains, are you there?" Jue found the skeleton after meeting Cohen.

"Hmm, what's the matter?" came out of the room, followed by a female slave.

Jue took out the record he remembered and threw it on the table in front of the skeleton, and then said, "Do you know what this is?"

The skeleton picked up the paper on the table and looked at it.

Jue's records were written in Archean script, but this was not a problem for the remains. Although the previous manuscript was burned by Jue, this time the manuscript was written in Taikoo, which ensured the confidentiality of the manuscript content to the greatest extent.

"This, this is!" the skeleton guessed the content of Jue's record from the words "Nighold" alone.

Jue leaned against the wall, and then said leisurely: "Don't be too happy, these high-level spells can only be used by me alone, even immortals like Kui Zhao and Chang'e can't use them." ”

"But you can use it, it must be useful! I would have gone to you first, and I wouldn't have been like this for so long. Skeleton said.

"If you weren't like this, you wouldn't have lived that long. Jue said with a wry smile. Then he looked around at the working slaves around him.

The skeleton saw that Jue had something to say, and then followed Jue out of the room.

"What do you have to say?" asked.

Jue whispered while being wary of the slaves around him: "Lin Fengmian wants to abolish slavery, what are your plans?"

"Abolish slavery......" The skeleton was not very surprised to hear the news, and after a moment of thought, he said, "Then I can't travel with people." ”

"Don't you feel upset that you've lost your source of money?" Jue asked.

"Well~ no, I'm planning to use the opportunity you created to transform the economy now, and it's not bad to engage in some normal trade. Skeleton said.

"yes, it's great that you can think so. Jue breathed a sigh of relief, and then he said, "Come here, I'll lift the spell for you." ”

The skeleton slowly walked towards Jue.

"Don't be surprised by whatever happens during the spell breaking, you know, don't be afraid of whatever you see, remember that I'm there for you. Jue stretched out his hand to the remains.

The skeleton saw Jue's hand—a hand with silvery-white scales and sharp claws.

"You are ......" The skeleton was about to say its own conjecture, but its mouth was stopped by Jue.

"I said, don't be surprised by what you see. Jue's voice was cold and full of murderous intent.

The skeleton closed his mouth, silently waiting for the moment when his curse was lifted.

The spell began to materialize under Jue's power, and a clear path of light was wrapped around Jue's hand.

Something was not quite right with Jue's expression. His expression began to become distorted and hideous, and he gritted his teeth as if he was enduring something. The black, fishy-smelling liquid began to seep out of Jue's veins, and silvery-white scales began to grow from Jue's wounds.

The skeleton covered its mouth and nose, and even it couldn't stand the disgusting smell. Although the skeleton and Jue were in a separate room, the slaves in the other rooms had been affected by the black blood on Jue's body, and even unconscious people appeared.

As the spell unraveling spell progressed, the skeleton could clearly feel that the spell on his body began to shift to Jue's body, and the scales born on Jue's body began to turn from silver white to pitch black, just like the black that the silver needle turned into after testing the poison.

Jue's blood-red eyes began to come to life, like a comatose person starting to wake up. But if you look closely, you will find that there are endless morbid emotions and negative emotions in this vitality.

Due to the lifting of the spell, the skeleton felt dizzy and could not see clearly. But it can still see Jue, but now Jue is no longer just a human form - it seems that the figure of a black python has merged with Jue.

What a spectacular thing......

The skeleton's consciousness began to fade, and it fainted, except that the last thing it saw was its hand—the hand that was already human skin.

Meanwhile, an unscrupulous guest arrives at Cohen's residence.

"If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace...... Tell me, Jue sent you?" Cohen asked.

"......" The person across from Cohen didn't immediately reply.

She is Ouyang Taxue, the slave of Jue, and the eldest daughter of the Ouyang family.

Cohen tapped his finger on the table and asked, "This time...... Did you plan to come on your own?"

Ouyang Taxue nodded.

Cohen closed his eyes and said after a while, "I'm sorry, I can't help you." ”

"But I didn't say anything!" Ouyang Taxue panicked after hearing this.

"You're planning to borrow my power to get rid of the Ouyang family. Cohen opened his eyes, but his sharp gaze prevented Ouyang Taxue from looking directly.

That's right, the purpose of Ouyang Treading Snow this time is to let Cohen help her get rid of a dangerous person like Ouyang Xun. Since Jue doesn't help her, she can only find another way, and the only person who stands on the united front with Jue and has strong power is Cohen.

"You...... Know ......"

Cohen laughed as if he had heard a very ridiculous inquiry, and said, "I have said a long time ago, there is nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Palace. If Jue doesn't have anything for you to pass on, then it's only your business, and the only thing that can prompt you to find me is the Ouyang family's business. ”

Ouyang Taxue didn't speak, because Cohen's inference was completely correct.

Cohen held out his hand to the door and said, "Please go back." ”

At this time, Ouyang Taxue knelt directly in front of Cohen.

"Lord Cohen, I can only rely on you to help me. ”

"So you also proposed such things to Jue, right? It seems that it was rejected, go back. "Cohen's decision didn't change anything.

Even with Cohen's attitude, Ouyang Taxue didn't look like he wanted to get up.

"You should know that as a slave, there is no room for negotiation, right?" Cohen opened his eyes and looked at Ouyang Taoxue.

"Yes, I understand. Ouyang Taxue whispered, "But ......"

Ouyang Taxue raised his body and looked at Cohen, "If you are willing to help me, then I will give my body and mind." ”

"Mind and body?" Cohen said in a slightly heartfelt tone.

"That's right. Ouyang Taxue straightened her chest, and she said, "If you are willing, I am willing to offer myself to you as a bargaining chip." ”

Of course, Ouyang Taxue knew that she had no bargaining chips, and she knew that as a slave, she didn't have assets that could make the other party excited—but this time the other party was Cohen.

When he first met Cohen, Ouyang Taxue noticed Cohen's desire for his body. And as early as when she was still contributing to the Ouyang family, she had heard that Cohen was a person who devoured color, so Ouyang Taxue was already ready to use himself as a bargaining chip when he came.

"Are you serious? Don't forget, you're Jue's slave. ”

Although Ouyang Taxue was stunned for a moment, he still pretended to be calm and said, "I know."

For the current Ouyang Taxue, what she is doing is nothing, what she wants is a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye. Since the Ouyang family treated her like this, she couldn't be patient forever.

"Then you should also know the consequences of your doing? With Jue's character, if he knew that you had done such a rebellious act, he would have done something very cruel, right? Let me think about it, if he did...... I'm sure they'll put you in a brothel without doing anything. ”

Ouyang Taxue shrank after hearing this. Indeed, Jue's personality is extreme, he can do anything, and Jue himself hates betrayal, if Ouyang Taxue really betrays Jue, Jue will definitely not give her good fruits to eat.

Through some of Jue's previous memories, Ouyang Taxue knew Jue's character very well, and also knew how he had treated rebels before, so Cohen's words made her very afraid.

However, today's Ouyang Taxue has given up everything.

"If you can help me, Master Cohen, it's nothing. ”

Yes, the current Ouyang Taxue has given up all rationality and discipline. For her, revenge now is the most important thing. Even if she wants her to step into the abyss after revenge and live a life that is worse than death, he and she are willing.

It's already my all-or-nothing gamble, nothing matters, and if I can fulfill my wish with my last bit of value, it's nothing......

Cohen smiled, then shook his head and said, "Really, if I used to think you were a well-behaved person, but now...... Sure enough, the better you look, the more debauched you are?"

Ouyang Taxue quietly endured the slander from Cohen on the side. Selling her body in exchange for what she wanted? Of course Ouyang Taxue didn't want to do this, but she couldn't help it. Ouyang Xun was determined to kill her, so in order to protect himself, Ouyang Taxue could only throw away what little value he had. No matter what Cohen says, she doesn't want to care, and she doesn't want to quibble—she wants to find a fish with Ouyang to break the net.

Cohen looked around the room, then said a few words to one of the maids beside him.

After the maid went out, Cohen simply looked at Ouyang Taxue, and the lovers didn't say anything.

This is very embarrassing for Ouyang to step on Shelley, after all, everyone is here, how much do you have to give an answer, and it is very painful to stay here all the time.

The atmosphere of silence lasted for a long time, until the arrival of a man.

"Ouyang Treading Snow?"

Ouyang Taxue followed the sound and found that it was his former companion Wang Wan'er who called him.

But Ouyang Taxue also noticed that Wang Wan'er was in a very bad state, because she had a lot of bruises on her body and scratches on her arms that were oozing blood.

"Wang Wan'er, why are you ...... here," Ouyang Taxue asked with wide eyes.

Ouyang Taxue knew what it meant if a woman appeared here.

"There's a lot going on...... Wang Wan'er said with a smile, but she smiled reluctantly.

Ouyang Taxue could see what Wang Wan'er was afraid of.

"Wang Wan'er, come here. Cohen said.

Cohen's words were like a switch, so that Wang Wan'er immediately stopped all behaviors of revealing her feelings to Ouyang Taxue, and then walked towards Cohen like a puppet.

When Wang Wan'er walked up to Cohen, Cohen played with Wang Wan'er's hair and said, "You have to think about what will happen if I agree to your terms." ”

"Understood. Ouyang Taxue ignored Wang Wan'er, who shook her head slightly, and looked at Cohen and said.

Cohen smiled slightly, then put his hand on Wang Wan'er's waist and said, "You also have to understand what Jue would think if he found out." Declare in advance that I will be on Jue's side then...... Even Jue is against me, no, it's not realistic...... In short, if you do this, if you are caught, no one will help you. ”

Ouyang Taxue glanced at Wang Wan'er, who looked very uncomfortable, and then said, "Understood." ”

Cohen tapped his finger on the table and looked into the distance.

Cohen understood that if he helped Ouyang Taxue, then he would be able to reap the rewards from Ouyang Taxue. Even if the matter is known to Jue, the two will not fall out on the surface, at least there will be some conflicts in cooperation on weekdays.

But Cohen knows very well that Jue is a person - he will not miss the big picture because of small things.

This matter was simply given for nothing to Cohen.

So, Cohen made a decision......

In the evening, Jue returned to his room.

"Damn, I'm tired!" Jue suddenly lay on the bed panting, this kind of tired Jue is rare.

I didn't expect the curse poison bound to the skeleton to be so strong! The entanglement of the spell couldn't be stronger, okay? Nighold can do it, but I didn't expect this curse poison to be measured according to body size......

Jue lay on the bed and thought, at the same time he also felt that the room was a little empty.

What about Ouyang Treading Snow......

Jue couldn't feel the breath of Ouyang stepping on snow from the surroundings. Then he sensed the state of the forbidden state again.

What the hell? Is Ouyang Taxue in a state of "drunk" now? The state of forbidden is okay...... Forget it, as long as it's okay to ban it.

"Is Lord Jue here?" someone pushed the door in directly at this time.

"Ouyang Xun, didn't your teacher teach you to knock on the door before entering?" Jue said without looking.

"There, I heard your voice outside just now, so I know you're here. Ouyang Xun said with a smile.

"You're a man...... Say, what are you here for this time?" Jue asked when he got up from the bed.

Ouyang Xun smiled slightly and said, "Ming people don't say dark words, I have two things to do today." First, Lord Jue, if I want you to stay in Bannanguo, how many things do you want?"

"How many things...... Do you mean I want something?"

"That's right. Ouyang Xun leaned against the wall and said, "I have a general understanding of what you are like in the Dragon Clan, so you say, how high status, how much money, what kind of woman do you want?"

"Sounds really exciting. Juepi smiled and said, "What made you go to such lengths to keep me?"

"It's very simple, Bannanguo needs you. You're a talent, and the battle of talents has always been a game that only sensible people can participate in, so I decided to participate. ”

"So I'm the ball in this game?"

"Of course, so to speak. Ouyang Xun said and walked towards Jue and said, "But this ball will run on its own, so it will choose where to go by itself." ”

"In other words, you want me to come to your side?" Jue looked at Ouyang Xun.

"That's right. Ouyang Xun sat down beside Jue: "Bannan is bound to unify the entire Baiyue Continent, and at this time, a strong office group is needed to carry out the operation. Whether it's waging war or expanding the country after the war, someone needs to deal with these things, so your talents are necessary for us in the future. We need you. ”

"Oh~ Unifying Baiyue Continent?Is it such a big ambition?" Jue was a little interested, because he liked ambitious guys.

"That's right, unify Baiyue Continent, and then we will have the conditions to be able to negotiate with the royal race on an equal footing. Ouyang Xun moved a little closer to Jue, and then whispered, "So that we can get a piece of the pie with Wang Chong." ”

"Even if you are able to control the resources of the transcendentals, you will not have the right to negotiate with the royal race on an equal footing. Think about it, there have been three times in history when the Terrans have unified the Three Realms, but what is the result?

"Nope. Ouyang Xun said: "What we are looking for is a compromise point - a balance point that can survive without the help of the royal race. Think about it, if the royal race really plans to have a good talk with us, will we be able to meet you, can we meet the auxiliary magistrate? You are also a human race, why should you give your life to the royal race?"

"The royal race has what I want, which the human race will never give. ”

"What is it?" asked Ouyang Xun.

"Knowledge, uninquisitive, imprisoned knowledge. Jue said.

"Heh, knowledge?" Ouyang Xun smiled slightly mockingly after hearing this, and said, "It seems that we really can't let you stand on our side......"

With that, Ouyang Xun planned to leave.

"Wait. Jue stopped Ouyang Xun at this time.

"Huh?"

"So, what about the second thing you came over?" Jue asked.

Ouyang Xun smiled weakly after hearing this, and said, "Ouyang treading snow." ”

"What?"

Just as Jue was about to ask, Ouyang Xun left.
