Chapter 583 - 581: My Name is Witch Bone

Jiang Chen had never expected JinLing to propose such a condition.

She actually wanted a drop of his blood.

Although a drop of Jiang Chen’s blood wasn’t valuable now, for a Martial Cultivator, the stronger their Cultivation, the more precious their blood became.

A single drop could even transform into an entire world.

As for Jiang Chen’s blood at his current level, it wasn’t worth much.

But he found it strange. Why would JinLing want a drop of his blood?

However, it was JinLing’s request. Jiang Chen thought for a moment and didn’t refuse.

He nodded. "Alright. As long as you’re happy, as long as you’re satisfied, I can give you a drop of blood."

In that moment, JinLing was overjoyed. She felt that as long as she got Jiang Chen’s blood, with the help of that mysterious Black Robe, she could surely win Jiang Chen’s heart.

Jiang Chen forced a drop of blood from his fingertip.

A drop of scarlet blood appeared. He then collected it in a small porcelain vial.

"JinLing, here."

He handed the porcelain vial to JinLing.

JinLing excitedly and hurriedly took the vial. This drop of blood was extremely important to her. She knew that with this blood, she could win back Jiang Chen’s heart.

After taking the vial, JinLing said to Jiang Chen, "Jiang Chen, thank you."

Then, JinLing left.

Jiang Chen, however, frowned slightly.

’Why did she specifically ask for a drop of my blood?’

’Does this drop of blood have some special meaning?’

He didn’t understand, but he didn’t press JinLing for an answer.

He just couldn’t bear to hurt JinLing.

JinLing’s feelings were pure and sincere. Although Jiang Chen couldn’t give JinLing the happy ending she wanted, he could at least satisfy some of her more reasonable requests.

As a man, Jiang Chen was quite magnanimous.

Meanwhile, JinLing held the porcelain vial containing Jiang Chen’s blood.

She held it with great solemnity, being extremely careful.

It was as if this was her everything, her only hope.

’Jiang Chen, I will win your heart.’

’I will always be yours.’

’In this life and the next.’

Her feelings for Jiang Chen grew more and more fervent.

Like an erupting volcano, they surged without end.

However, she didn’t immediately take Jiang Chen’s blood to the mysterious Black Robe.

Instead, she returned to her room.

She clutched the porcelain vial as if it were her most beloved treasure.

She was very reluctant to let it go.

Because this was Jiang Chen’s blood, in her heart, it represented Jiang Chen himself.

Although she desperately wanted to win Jiang Chen’s heart right away, she still felt a slight hesitation.

’Will it really work?’

’Could he be lying to me?’

JinLing was still wary of that mysterious man. After all, he was too enigmatic.

After a long while, JinLing suddenly sighed.

The next day, JinLing made up her mind.

’It’s just one drop of blood; it won’t do Jiang Chen any harm. I’ll give it a try.’

’The worst that can happen is that I fail to win his heart.’

’But my feelings for him will never change.’

JinLing got up, took the porcelain vial, and walked out of her room, heading toward Yang Lake in the Gambling City.

Her steps were somewhat slow. Along the way, she thought about many things.

But in the end, the burning passion in her heart won out over her reason.

She decided to risk it all and give it a try.

Arriving at the shore of Yang Lake, JinLing gazed out at the water. This was where she had once held Jiang Chen in a deep embrace, a place she could never forget.

’I wish time had stopped in that moment.’

Looking at the beautiful scenery around her, JinLing was in no mood to appreciate it.

"Ahem."

"Young lady, it must be so lonely to be all by yourself."

"If you had someone with you, you would surely be very happy—the happiest person in the world."

A voice drifted over.

JinLing turned around and saw him—it was Black Robe, his face still concealed.

He was mysterious, but his words once again sent violent waves through JinLing’s heart.

At that moment, she wished so much that Jiang Chen was by her side. That would indeed be wonderful, truly wonderful.

But that was impossible for now, she knew.

"You’re here."

JinLing said, looking at the mysterious Black Robe.

She felt a little nervous.

Black Robe nodded. He stood there with his hands behind his back. From beneath his robe, a pair of eyes seemed to watch JinLing faintly, seeing right through her thoughts.

"Don’t be nervous. I told you, I will help you fulfill your wish and let you win his heart."

"I’ll make him seek you out on his own and be forever loyal to you."

Black Robe said with great seriousness.

He looked completely self-assured, as if everything was going according to plan.

JinLing hesitated for a moment.

Then she suddenly asked, "I’m willing to trust you this one time."

"But... can I see the face beneath your black robe?"

She was extremely curious about this Black Robe.

Why did this person always keep his face hidden by a black robe?

This was also the reason why JinLing didn’t fully trust him.

He was too mysterious, which made him seem a bit sinister.

Black Robe fell silent. It seemed this condition was somewhat difficult for him.

He didn’t want any outsiders to see his true face.

But after a moment, Black Robe suddenly nodded. "Fine. I know you doubt my abilities, but I do not lie. I would never lie to anyone."

"Otherwise, my heart would be filled with guilt."

With that, Black Robe slowly lifted his own black robe.

Beneath it, a face was revealed—one that was exceedingly handsome, even bewitchingly so.

The man was incredibly handsome.

JinLing stared blankly. She hadn’t expected him to actually show her his face.

After seeing it, JinLing memorized his face.

"Alright, I’m willing to believe you now."

Black Robe covered his face once more.

He became mysterious again.

He then asked, "Have you obtained the blood of the one you love?"

This was the crucial part.

Beneath the mysterious black robe, his expression was indiscernible, and his tone seemed very calm.

JinLing nodded. She took a porcelain vial from her Qiankun Bag and hesitated for a moment, clutching it in her hand.

She seemed reluctant to part with it, but she still bit her lip.

She handed the porcelain vial to Black Robe.

"Here. This is a drop of his blood, inside the vial."

"I hope you can truly help me fulfill my wish. I’m begging you."

Black Robe reached out a hand and took the porcelain vial.

Even though he maintained his composure, his hand still trembled slightly after taking the vial.

He seemed somewhat excited.

But this movement was clearly not noticed by JinLing in that moment.

"I will definitely do what I promised."

"Rest assured, young lady."

"By the way, what should I call you?"

Only then did JinLing remember this. She hurriedly said, "My name is JinLing."

"Oh, and sir, what should I call you?"

From beneath the black robe, a voice emerged.

"You can call me Witch Bone."

"Alright, in that case, I will help you achieve your wish as soon as possible. After it is done, there’s no need to thank me. It’s what I ought to do."

With that, Witch Bone took the vial and turned to leave.

JinLing wanted to say something but stopped herself.

She didn’t know what she should say and could only watch as Witch Bone departed.

She didn’t even know how to find him again.

’He just... left like that?’

She felt that something about this wasn’t right.
