Chapter 1481: Life Debt Must Be Repaid with the Body

Mengyu steadied herself and looked up again at the two elders and their descendant.

"Alright, you can go." She thought for a moment and then said to Meng Li: "Don’t think your oath can bind others, and don’t try to coerce anyone into submission. I’ve already formed a cultivation couple with my fiancé. He would never betray me or accept you."

Just as Meng Li was about to speak, Mengyu gave her a sharp look and continued: "Don’t use your oath as an excuse; you have been cunning in leaving yourself a way out even as you manipulate others."

Meng Li’s face flushed at Mengyu’s words.

Indeed, Meng Li’s oath was a deliberate way of leaving herself an out.

When she swore, she had already perceived that Gu Dongxing’s vitality had returned and was incredibly intense, surpassing that of ordinary people. She knew he definitely wouldn’t die. Thus, she took advantage of the special ops team blaming her for the deputy captain’s death to swear, not only to stop them from blaming her, but also to use the oath to win over Gu Dongxing.

No matter how she swore, she couldn’t trap herself. So, she cleverly left an escape route.

But unexpectedly, this Mengyu saw through her strategy—that as long as Gu Dongxing was alive and well, neither damaged nor dead, the oath wouldn’t hold.

Wang Tielin knew from Mengyu’s words that she had seen through his granddaughter’s oath. Moreover, he had just sensed a trace of killing intent from Mengyu. He was worried.

Even though they weren’t within the Immortal Sect, high-level cultivators were not what he could provoke. She may refrain from destroying her own path by killing an innocent, but cultivators have many means to take away his authority. In that case, he would find no refuge in heaven or earth.

He regretted coming to see his granddaughter. Even regretted indulging her too much usually.

But now, he couldn’t abandon his granddaughter, as he still didn’t know what her master thought about the situation.

"Lili, we better leave." He was slightly fearful.

Yet Meng Li was truly unwilling; she didn’t want to leave. She understood well that there was no opening with Gu Dongxing, she could only try to break down this woman in front of her.

Furthermore, aware that Mengyu practiced the Merit Path, she felt even more emboldened—she didn’t dare kill her!

Her eyes shifted as she thought of another point—she had saved Gu Dongxing! Although she didn’t understand why pouring a little spiritual energy into him could reignite his pulse despite his breath being cut.

Saying Gu Dongxing was saved by her, it was more like he revitalized himself suddenly.

However, at the time, she was the only one there, and all the special ops team members believed she had saved Gu Dongxing, so she claimed the credit.

"Without me, Gu Dongxing would have died long ago; a life-saving debt should be repaid with one’s body. Even to repay my life-saving grace, he should marry me," Meng Li said loudly.

In truth, given Gu Dongxing had saved Meng Li many times before, her one-time saving only balanced out the previous life debt. Yet, she demanded Gu Dongxing repay with his body, which was entirely shameless.

She was acting shamelessly now, and Mengyu knew if she claimed Gu Dongxing had also saved her, Meng Li would definitely retort: A life-saving debt should be repaid with the body, Gu Dongxing saved me, so I must marry him to repay him.

Therefore, Mengyu merely let out a cold chuckle and said: "My fiancé was injured by a rhino, losing vitality. Can your small amount of spiritual energy transformed into vitality really save my fiancé?"

Meng Li saw Mengyu didn’t mention that Gu Dongxing had saved her and instead questioned the validity of her life-saving claim, feeling a bit angry.

"But at that time Gu Dongxing was already dead. Without my spiritual energy, how could he come back to life?"
