Chapter 1138 Odin's Promise (Two-in-one subscription required!!!)

"So, junior sister, how did you respond to Odin?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi.

"Same words as Chu Zihang." Xia Mi spread her hands, "I asked Odin: 'Brother, do you think you still have the right to say this?'"

"Brother... Junior sister, you are really weird. If I were Odin, I would be so angry that I would vomit half a liter of blood." Lu Mingfei glanced at Chu Zihang, then looked at Xia Mi and said, "But you two are really in sync. Junior sister, you have already turned into the shape of senior brother."

"Making trouble again?" Xia Mi glared at Lu Mingfei and winked at Eiry who was beside him.

“No, no, no, tone, I mean tone.” Lu Mingfei waved his hand quickly and said, “Go on, Junior Sister, continue to tell me what Odin’s reaction was. I won’t interrupt you.”

"Odin glanced at Old Tang next to me, then looked at me and said that he had seen that Old Tang was already at the end of his strength, and the power I possessed could not be maintained for too long. In the end, Old Tang and I have no better chance of winning than them." Xia Mi said, "From Odin's point of view, this is indeed the case, but I noticed the look in his eyes. To be more precise, it was the concealment and humility in his eyes. Odin overlooked the most important point in his words. If we risk our lives, they do have a greater chance of winning, but we don't care about that much, but Odin and the others do. They are determined to protect the tree at the risk of their lives. This is their biggest flaw."

"So, Junior Sister, did you threaten him with that tree?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi.

"Of course, now that things have developed to this point, I don't need to play along with them anymore." Xia Mi said to Lu Mingfei and the others, "I told Odin directly that if we fight to the death, Old Tang and I may not be able to defeat you, but with my remaining strength, the probability of us escaping is not small. And if we really get to this point, the tree... I pointed to the huge, half-destroyed tree behind Odin and the others, looked into Odin's eyes under the mask, and said word by word, if we destroy the tree, I am 100% sure, even if you fight to protect it, we can take a gamble."

So cool! The saying that women are as good as men is really true. At that moment, my junior sister was truly a heroine... Lu Mingfei sighed silently in his heart.

"At that time, Odin and the others had ugly looks in their eyes. And the white figure, with veins throbbing on his face exposed from the shroud, looked furious and ferocious, and he wanted to tear me to pieces right away." Xia Mi said, "He doesn't hide his thoughts, but now he doesn't need to hide them, because our murderous intentions on each other no longer need to be concealed. The outcome of this matter is either one of us compromises, or one of us dies."

Lu Mingfei nodded silently. In fact, the development to this point was expected. From the moment Xia Mi and Lao Tang appeared in the Nibelungen, a life-and-death situation was almost inevitable, because this was the way dragons got along and the law of survival. The world of those creatures was far more direct and cruel than human society.

"This time, Odin's eyes were not on me. His pupils under the mask were looking at the distant sky, empty and hollow. I don't know what he was thinking." Xia Mi said, "I remember that Lao Tang was by my side at the time and was always on guard. This time he was really reliable. Although he didn't have much strength left, if Odin and the others attacked, Lao Tang and I would really fight to the death."

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath. At this point, it was no longer just a battle between Xia Mi to protect Chu Zihang and Chu Tianjiao, and Lao Tang for his brotherly loyalty. This was a war and fight between kings. Ambition and dignity were their bottom line. For them, the supreme kings, these things were even more inviolable than life.

"I thought Odin's silence was to accumulate strength to fight us, but in the end, Odin just looked at me silently. After he sighed deeply, he said something I didn't expect." Xia Mi whispered, "Odin said, let's end this matter here."

"That's it?" Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows. "No way? It's that simple? Those two guys suffered such a big loss, and they are willing to stop here?"

"After I finished saying this, before I could respond, Odin spoke again," Xia Mi said, "Odin said he had an additional request."

"I knew this guy wouldn't be willing to suffer in silence." Lu Mingfei couldn't help but curse, "What does he want to do this time? Erase more of your memories? Or imprison you in that Nibelungen for five, ten, or twenty years? Or even longer?"

"No, this time Odin didn't say anything about erasing our memories or keeping us in Nibelungen for custody." Xia Mi paused and said, "This time Odin only asked for one sentence. He said he knew my power came from the White King's dragon bone, and the White King's spiritual power happened to be the best supplement for the tree's recovery. Odin asked me to give him all the remaining power of the White King's dragon bone."

“Is it to revive the tree?” Lu Mingfei had a strange expression on his face.

"Obviously that's what Odin meant." Xia Mi said, "At that time I looked into Odin's eyes, and there was no ripple in those slightly dim golden pupils. Odin's tone was also quite calm, without anger, hatred, unwillingness or unforgiveness. At that time, Odin's tone was terrifyingly calm, and my ability seemed to have failed. At this time, I couldn't even sense any emotion in Odin's tone. I couldn't tell whether he was deceiving me or was sincere. It was as if the person talking to me was not a living person, but a puppet, or a cold machine."

"Is this reasonable?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but frown. "Odin could actually suppress such great anger? This guy may be cautious and cunning, but is there anyone in this world who can be so patient?"

"It sounds like a trap." Chu Zihang also spoke up. "You are the only one left on Old Tang's side who has the ability to fight, and the power of the White King's Dragon Bone is your ultimate trump card against Odin and his men. Without this power, it will be difficult for you to compete with Odin and his men. If this power is transferred to Odin and his men, you will lose all initiative."

"My mind told me the same thing at the time. This is a rare situation where my mind contradicts my intuition." Xia Mi said, "I looked at Lao Tang at the time. I didn't want to ask for his opinion, I just wanted to hear what Lao Tang thought about Odin's words, but Lao Tang hesitated and whispered a few words and I didn't hear clearly. His eyes and consciousness had begun to blur. I realized that I couldn't delay any longer. I had to make a decision quickly, otherwise when Lao Tang completely lost consciousness, all my bargaining chips with Odin would be invalid." "So I asked Odin in a deep voice, even if I agreed to his proposal and I gave him the remaining power of the White King Dragon Bone, how could he guarantee the safety of Lao Tang and me." Xia Mi said, "Based on my understanding of Odin, after getting this power, he will definitely do something like abandoning the donkey after it has done its job. Not to mention him, even people like me and Lao Tang are likely to make such a choice after getting the power. This has nothing to do with character, but with human nature. Whether it is humans or dragons, they cannot escape the bad nature in their bones."

Lu Mingfei remained silent, and Chu Zihang nodded. Xia Mi's words were cruel, but very realistic. Whether it was humans or dragons, if promises and interests conflicted, everyone knew what to choose.

"At the time, I thought that if Odin was only willing to give a verbal promise, there was no need for me to talk to him any more, because I would not believe him. Rather than wasting time and energy talking to him and dragging me and Old Tang into danger, I might as well take a chance and use the last bit of power left in the White King's Dragon Bone to try to take Old Tang away." Xia Mi whispered, "But Odin's actions at the time once again completely caught me by surprise."

"Did he make any unreasonable demands again?" Lu Mingfei frowned slightly.

Xia Mi shook her head, with a complicated expression on her face, as if she had not yet recovered from Odin's strange behavior at that time.

"Odin stretched out a hand, lightning and fire wrapped around his palm, and the wounded eight-legged Pegasus under him suddenly raised its four hooves and pounced out fiercely." Xia Mi paused, "But the horse did not pounce on me and Lao Tang, but on the white figure next to Odin."

"That horse turned against us?" Lu Mingfei was stunned.

"The eight-legged Pegasus pressed the white human figure under it. At the same time, in the astonished eyes of all of us, Odin's palm wrapped in fire and lightning passed through the heart of the white human figure." Xia Mi said slowly, her tone calm and firm.

"No, what did he do?" Lu Mingfei was stunned again.

"Odin used his hand to pierce the chest of the white figure. His action was beyond the expectations of all of us, including the white figure." Xia Mi said, "I can see the pain, surprise and confusion in the white figure's eyes. He looked at Odin, and scarlet blood oozed from the corners of his mouth and chest. He was originally seriously injured by Lao Tang's 'Zhulong'. At this moment, Odin's sneak attack was almost fatal to him. Was Odin going to kill him? At that moment, I really doubted my eyes."

"I'm doubting my own brain." Lu Mingfei was completely stunned. "Why? Aren't they twins? What good will it do for Odin to kill that guy? He wouldn't want to eat that guy and take you and Lao Tang down in one fell swoop, right?"

"This thought flashed through my mind at the time, but Odin didn't give me too much time to guess." Xia Mi said, "Odin threw the dying white figure to me. He looked into my eyes and said that this was his promise. I took the white figure and I could feel his body trembling. I didn't know whether it was because of pain or anger at being betrayed."

"Damn, that guy is so cruel. He can be so cruel to his own brother. This is the real backstab!" Old Tang spat fiercely. "I didn't have the strength at that time. If I had the strength, I would beat this guy to pieces!"

"I can understand what Odin meant, but I don't trust him from the bottom of my heart. Perhaps sensing my distrust, Odin took the initiative to explain three reasons to me." Xia Mi said, "First, Odin said that the white figure concealed from him the fact that humans had broken into and escaped from Nibelungen. This was his fault, and people who make mistakes should be punished. He didn't get angry at the first time because he was not sure he could fight against me and Lao Tang. At that time, internal strife was undoubtedly a stupid choice."

“This guy is really patient.” Lu Mingfei said in a low voice.

"Secondly, he said I needed a guarantee, so he gave me one. There is nothing better than a brother as a guarantee." Xia Mi said, "I gave him the power of the White King's Dragon Bone, and he gave me his brother's life. This is definitely a good deal for us. If he takes the power of the dragon bone and attacks us, we can kill his brother at any time. He didn't lie to me. The guy in my hand was almost unable to move at that time."

"He used his brother's life as collateral. It's more of a hostage than a guarantee," said Chu Zihang.

"Odin said he was sincere enough. The power of the White King's Dragon Bone is not in our hands yet, but he has already handed the bargaining chip to us. This has also weakened his support in disguise. There is no reason for me to be uneasy about such a deal." Xia Mi said, "I can't judge whether Odin is sincere, but I can feel that the guy in my hand was indeed very weak. If I wanted to, I could kill him at any time. I don't even need to give the power of the White King's Dragon Bone to Odin. I can completely kill the white humanoid and then leave with Lao Tang. If Odin is alone, we have a great chance of leaving."

"Is Odin such a stupid person?" Lu Mingfei asked doubtfully. "I thought of one thing. If he had proposed to exchange his brother's life with you, his brother would not have agreed, right? That guy just has low emotional intelligence, but he is not a fool. If Odin had expressed this intention from the beginning, it would not have been so easy for Odin to succeed under that guy's defense."

"But isn't Odin's doing this equivalent to cutting off his own retreat?" Chu Zihang said, "No matter what, when facing Xia Mi and Old Tang, his brothers and he stood on the same side, but his actions undoubtedly pushed his brothers to the opposite side of him. He left no room for himself at all."

"Then Odin told us the third reason." Xia Mi's voice was very low. "Odin said that between the twin kings of sky and wind, only one can survive in the end. One will eat up everything of the other, including life, bloodline, and power. This was destined from the beginning. Everyone wanted to be the one to survive, but fighting each other would only give other kings an opportunity to take advantage. So they made a certain agreement and they took two completely different paths."
