Chapter 1557: Unsustainable Oil
Although Yue Lao was furious with the Black and White Impermanence, he ultimately stopped talking about taking in a disciple.
He was afraid that if he continued talking, he would not be accepted as Yan Bao's disciple, but would become Yan Bao's disciple instead.
That would be a huge loss of face for me.
"Bring those three things here, and I'll help them tie the knot."
The King of Hell didn't take out the three things immediately. Instead, he looked at little Yan Bao and said, "Yan Bao, I've brought all the wealth from the underworld. If you don't make up for it, I won't be able to explain myself when I need the Soul-Resurrection Lamp next month."
Yue Lao curled his lips. He didn't believe that the King of Hell would give away all his wealth.
Unless the King of Hell is really sure that Xiao Yanbao can really make up for it, he will not take it out no matter what.
Either the King of Hell is lying, or the King of Hell is gambling.
But Yue Lao thinks the former is more likely.
"I can't say I can replenish other things right away, but I can replenish the oil for the Soul-Resurrection Lamp after Yue Lao finishes tying the red string."
"Yan Bao, are you serious?"
"Say that again! When have I ever lied to you? I said I'd give it to you, and I will definitely give it to you. As for the other two, I haven't figured out how to give them to you yet, but don't worry, I'll definitely find a way."
"Well, there is nothing Yan Bao can't do as long as he wants to." Bai Wuchang said from the side.
The chief pharmacist had been silent the entire time, but after hearing what Little Yanbao had said, his eyes lit up and he squeezed over to Little Yanbao, "Yanbao, do you have a way to get the Du'e Flower?"
Xiao Yanbao just smiled at the Pharmacy Director and did not answer him.
But this smile was equivalent to Xiao Yanbao admitting that he could get the Du'e Flower.
Yue Lao: It’s such a loss that this disciple got nothing.
Can Xiao Yanbao really get such a precious Du'e Flower?
Where can Xiao Yanbao get something that is not even available in the underworld?
It was all the fault of Yan Wang and his gang of ghosts. They had ruined his good deeds. If they hadn't interfered, even if he couldn't accept little Yan Bao as his apprentice, he could at least talk about cooperation.
It would be nice to let Yan Bao hold a position in the Engagement Hall.
Now that Yan Bao has a position, he will be willing to contribute.
No, he still needs to find an opportunity to discuss it with Yan Bao.
This idea of taking up a temporary position should be feasible.
When the King of Hell heard Xiao Yanbao's promise, he took out the three things.
As long as he can make up for one thing, he won't lose anything today.
It just lets Yue Lao take advantage of it.
But who can blame him for not being able to matchmake people?
The King of Hell took out the three things and gave them to little Yan Bao instead of giving them to Yue Lao.
"Yan Bao, I think you should not give all three of these things to Yue Lao. He can't use so many of them. He is just plotting against me. But for Yan Bao, I would rather be plotted against by Yue Lao."
Yue Lao: King Yan, don’t think you are so important in front of Yan Bao. Yan Bao has known that I have been plotting against you for a long time.
Yan Bao tacitly agreed to my plot against you.
It’s just that Yan Bao didn’t say in advance that he could make it up to the King of Hell.
If he knew that Yan Bao could make up for it to the King of Hell, he would definitely not give in. He would at least ask the King of Hell to give him five drops of oil from the Resurrection Lamp.
Xiao Yanbao took the three things and handed them directly to Yue Lao.
"I've given you everything. You're not allowed to cut corners. If you dare to fool me, I promise to raze your Yue Lao Palace to the ground."
When Yue Lao heard what Xiao Yanbao said, he couldn't help but shudder all over.
He knew that even Heaven had to give Yan Bao some leeway.
Besides, he would cheat the King of Hell, but he would never be careless in his own job.
"Yan Bao, I won't do anything that will damage my reputation. If I do, I will definitely do it seriously."
Xiao Yanbao also felt that Yue Lao would not do anything about the red thread, but he still had to say it in advance.
Yue Lao waved at Tan Tai Xiao and the other three, "Come here, you guys. I don't know how lucky you are to have Yan Bao help you seek the red thread of life and death."
Tan Tai Xiao and the other three felt that they were indeed very lucky. Although it was Yue Lao who had to tie the red thread, the main credit went to Xiao Yan Bao.
Otherwise, even if they met Yue Lao, they would not be able to obtain such an eternal fate.
Because they cannot obtain those three things by their own abilities.
The four of them knelt down in front of Xiao Yanbao, but before their knees touched the ground, Xiao Yanbao lifted them up with his spiritual power.
"What's the point? The red thread is tied by Yue Lao. If you want to thank someone, thank Yue Lao. I didn't help much."
Everyone: We haven’t helped much yet. If it weren’t for you, the King of Hell and Yue Lao would never bother with the four of them.
"We have to thank everyone, including Yue Lao and the King of Hell, but the one we should thank the most is you, little princess." Tan Tai Xiao said.
The other three also nodded.
"It's mainly because Sister Qianya and I get along well. Doing this little thing for Sister Qianya is not worth mentioning."
Everyone: Once this little princess sets her mind on someone, she will really open her heart to them.
The city lord's wife and the little princess must have had a deep connection in their previous life, otherwise why would they get along so well with the city lord's wife when they met?
I really want to ask the King of Hell what kind of fate they had in their previous lives.
But unless the little princess asks herself, no one else dares to ask.
Xiao Yanbao didn't even ask Tan Tai Xiao and the others to thank him. The King of Hell and Yue Lao did this for Xiao Yanbao, so naturally there was no need for Tan Tai Xiao and the others to thank them.
So when they knelt down, the four of them did not kneel down.
"First, I need the 'Oil of Immortality'. I need to take your heart's blood, mix it with the oil from the Resurrection Lamp, and carve each other's names on your palms. The blood and oil will become part of your flesh, forever and ever. If one of you changes your heart, the blood and oil will become part of your bones, leaving you unable to live or die. Have you thought it through? Do you really want to be bound by this eternal red thread?"
The four of them nodded in unison, "We've thought it through..."
Before the four of them could finish their words, they were interrupted by Xiao Yanbao.
"I asked you to hold the red string of eternity, so why did you change your mind? If you changed your mind, why would I need you to hold the red string for me?"
Yue Lao: "Although the red string is tied, the human heart is the most fickle, not to mention the life after life, so there is also such a risk."
"No, you have to make sure they don't change their minds, otherwise it would be a waste of effort. I believe Yue Lao has a way."
Yue Lao: There is a way, but it comes at a different price.
But if the price is raised now, will Yan Bao get angry?
"Yan Bao, Yue Lao is just trying to trick you. He just said that he wouldn't do anything that would damage his reputation, but now he's causing such a scene right at the beginning."
This time, Yue Lao really felt that he was wronged.
"This red thread that binds them for eternity must ensure they remain faithful to each other. When I find the Du'e Flower, I'll give you one too."
