"Hey, now, Liu Jie. I'm willing to be your volunteer but you can't ask me to kill someone! What do you think of me, some kind of cult?!" Meilin shouted when she heard his request.
"I do not need a life for this one. Stop being ignorant," Liu Jie blatantly spurts, "All I need is blood from a living being. It doesn't matter if it's an animal. You need that before performing the spell."
"I told you, I won't do something, like that! There must be some kind of another spell that doesn't require blood sacrifice!" Meilin suggested ignoring the fact that she was called an "ignorant"
"This is the spell with a seventy percent chance of success of putting the seal off! Other spells are not guaranteed to be successful," Liu Jie reprimanded, "I know that this is something you don't like but even just a bit of blood from a mouse is enough."
"Then, my blood should be enough, right?" Meilin asked.
Liu Jie already thought of that but he didn't want to ask her of that. After all, in the system he knew once a human gives blood to a deity's servant like him is equivalent to proposing for a marriage! He will be the other half of that person! But animals are not part of that, so he asked for an animal blood sacrifice instead. Not only had he asked for Lu Meilin's help, he also tricked her. The spell casting is easy but stamina consuming. She won't lose that much stamina but he still feels bad.
Meilin wonders why Liu Jie suddenly turns silent. He doesn't want my blood? He should be grateful he's the first recipient of the first donor ship I've ever done, she thought.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
Drive by her own train of thoughts, Meilin screamed yes without knowing the consequence of whatever she was doing.
Even though Liu Jie feels bad for it, he still wants to get free. He can just set the blood agreement off once he regains his original powers. He asked for Meilin's blood to spread on the cover of the book, a little bit is enough, but she didn't obey him and open a big cut in her palm and spread her blood on the book.
Meilin didn't budge even though the cut hurts her so much, she doesn't want to fail Liu Jie. Liu Jie, on the other hand, felt disgusted because of all the blood spreading the entire cover. He chooses to stay quiet and let her be, tricking her is more than enough, reprimanding her is a bit too much.
"And then? Do I have to draw some star like thing on the table?"
"Of course not, silly," Liu Jie answered, "Just close your eyes and remember the spell I will chant and put your fingers together and repeat the words for five times."
Liu Jie chanted the words slowly and Meilin tries to immerse all the words. After some minutes, she can already chant it. She immediately closed her eyes and put her fingers together, Lu Meilin breathed slowly before chanting the spell.
All of a sudden blinding ray of light coats the entire boy of the book and makes a sound like breaking chains and glasses. Liu Jie feels that the barrier surrounding the outside is slowly fading, however, he did not know that the stamina that supposed to be just a little suddenly take a great toll towards Lu Meilin's body. In just a split second, he appears and floats like an angel suddenly appearing in front of Meilin.
