A Lowly Action
Ignoring the fact that Wei Liao was unaware of certain things, he thought about how even he, Qin Hanyu, did not know why he was helpless against Chuchu.
At the time, he had merely handed her a napkin when Chuchu was in a difficult situation and had become tangled with her after that. At that point in time, Chuchu would rather have died than submit to someone and was unwilling to follow Lin Hai. Qin Hanyu admired such perseverance in a tough woman, down to her bones, which was why he had handed a napkin to her.
If he had known that it would lead to such a day, he would never have performed the lowly action, even if he was beaten to death.
A cold glint appeared in Wei Liao’s eyes, his pale face no longer holding any traces of a smile. Taking a deep breath, he stated, “It was the same back then. All those that secretly liked you were taken away by her. Now Jiaojiao is gone too. Hanyu, tell me, where is that thing?”
“I don’t know,” Qin Hanyu shook his head. “Lin Hai’s mouth is shut tight and he isn’t willing to tell me anything. Shao Hua mentioned that when he escaped by fluke, he vaguely recalled seeing that the thing was in a secret room. But I’ve gone through the entire place and have yet to find this secret room.”
Wei Liao’s mood had calmed down considerably, aware that they could not panic. “Shao Hua said that it was a mutated plum blossom tree. He also heard that Lin Hai is relying on this tree’s juice to upgrade ability ranks.”
Qin Hanyu’s eyes drooped down, “Regardless, we need to find that plum blossom tree. The only ones who know of its location now are Lin Hai and Chuchu.”
Wei Liao nodded his head and clenched his fists, thinking, ‘Jiaojiao, I will definitely take revenge for you.’
At the same time, inside the forest around Cool Breeze Stronghold, a head popped out from nowhere and disappeared the next moment.
Lin Qing took quick steps, arriving before the frosty Yun Huan and nodding to the group solemnly. His voice contained joy as he said, “Boss, it’s right in front, we’re on the right track.”
Hearing that, Yun Huan’s lips smoothed a little and the frown on his head alleviated slightly. The cold nip in the air also scattered.
Lin Bai and the others knew that Yun Huan was worried. So were they. Even Chu Mohe hadn’t said a word during the entire journey.
Ling Qing was afraid that everyone would become impulsive, so he spoke up, “Boss, we need to think of a way to slip in.”
Qin Yi, who was battling the plum blossom tree, never expected Yun Huan and the group to already be at the entrance of Cool Breeze Stronghold. After recovering and replenishing her energy, she immediately went out to find the plum blossom tree.
The mutated plum blossom tree was fuming with rage due to its prey’s escape. When it saw Qin Yi suddenly materialize before it, it immediately waved its vines roughly.
Delicious prey, the delicious prey was back!
Qin Yi grinned evilly, her black and bright phoenix eyes resembling the impermissible black sea, glinting like shooting stars in the sky. The phoenix eyes burned deep and dark, revealing an irresistible charm.
She spoke in a soft voice that would be extremely seductive to anyone inside the secret room, like a siren in the deep sea, luring unsuspecting humans.
“You dare to think of eating me? What a strange little thing, you small peach blossom flower,” Qin Yi chuckled, even as she frowned with her straight brows. Her body moved like an agile swallow as she pounced towards the plum blossom tree with a pair of ice blades thrusted forward.
The plum blossom tree was large and clumsy, unable to do anything to Qin Yi. Green liquid flowed out and gradually concealed the stench of blood in the room.
Qin Yi’s eyes lit up, realizing it really was good stuff.
She had long prepared some glass bottles from the Origin Space. When the plum blossom tree’s vines came over, she quickly dodged them, leaving the plum blossom tree to scowl in pain with a stupefied look present.
