Chapter 465 Xie Xing escaped?
The child tilted his head and looked Xie Xing up and down, then looked away without interest. "You're so delicate, I don't understand what you're saying."
"I'll let you go now before I decide to kill you."
The child completely ignored what Xie Xing was saying, wiped the dagger, and turned to leave.
Xie Xing was a little embarrassed.
Are all kids this arrogant these days?
But she does need this child to leave this mountain.
There are many wild animals here. If she doesn't find someone to help her, Xie Xing believes she will die here.
Xie Xing quickly jogged after him, calling out, "Kid, Kid, wait a minute!"
The child was about seven or eight years old, thin and frail, with not an ounce of extra flesh on his body.
Xie Xing thought for a moment, then quickly patted himself down and pulled out an oil packet.
She quickly opened the oil packet.
The aroma of meat wafted out, attracting those who were originally planning to leave.
The child paused, turned around, and saw the chicken leg Xie Xing was holding.
"Gulu gulu."
His stomach growled with hunger, and his eyes were fixed intently on the large chicken leg in Xie Xing's hand.
Xie Xing tore off a piece of meat right in front of him, put it in his mouth, chewed and swallowed it, which made the child extremely envious.
His gaze was fixed on Xie Xing's chicken leg.
Xie Xing breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, she had the habit of bringing food with her when she went out, so as not to starve to death if she ran away.
Xie Xing coughed lightly: "Do you want to...?"
Before he could finish speaking, a dark shadow flashed before his eyes, and the oil packet in his hand was gone.
Xie Xing's expression froze for a moment.
Then you see the child has already started wolfing down his food.
I go!
Xie Xing was still thinking of using the oil packet to negotiate with the child, but now that the chicken leg was all eaten, she had no more bargaining chips.
The chicken leg was devoured in no time.
The child wiped his mouth, looked up at Xie Xing, and his eyes had clearly softened.
The child was rather aloof, and asked, "Tell me, what is your purpose?"
Xie Xing: "..."
This child...
Are kids these days so mature?
Xie Xing touched his nose, but he also knew that this was not a greenhouse after all; if you didn't mature early, you would die young.
She didn't press the matter further and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you must be assassins trained by the Underworld, right?"
The child did not speak.
Xie Xing was clearly not from the Yama Palace.
His dark eyes fell on Xie Xing, watching her and waiting for her to continue.
Xie Xingqing cleared his throat and said, "It's like this, I don't know martial arts. If no one helps me, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of here alive. So I want to make a deal with you. If you're willing to take me out, I'll take you with me."
After saying that, the child looked away without interest and turned to leave.
Xie Xing panicked, "Wait, wait! As long as you can protect me, I promise you'll have plenty to eat and wear!"
The child remained unmoved.
Xie Xing: "Ten meals! Ten meals in one sitting!"
"Meat at every meal, lots of fish and meat!"
The child paused, then turned on his toes, gripping the dagger as he approached Xie Xing. He looked up at Xie Xing and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here? And why are you running away?"
The child's voice was childish, and if he weren't still a child, Xie Xing would have thought he was a mature adult with his calm demeanor.
Xie Xing didn't want to waste time on this. Seeing that the child agreed, Xie Xing quickly said, "I am the daughter of a wealthy family. I was captured by your palace master and now I want to escape."
The child tilted his head: "Were you captured by the Palace Master?"
He looked at him with sympathy: "Give up. Those captured by the Palace Master never escape."
"Besides, the assassins here are all poisoned, one pill every two weeks. I won't run away with you."
Xie Xing: "..."
It's just the Half-Moon Poison, she has the antidote!
She held the child's hand and said, "I have the antidote. Trust me, I was poisoned before and was cured."
"Do you want to stay here and spend your whole life surrounded by bloodshed and killing?"
"Why not stay by my side? I'll guarantee you wealth and luxury, and you'll never have to worry about food or clothing."
When it comes to powerful backers, Xie Xing's backers are quite strong.
The child fell silent for a moment.
Xie Xing wouldn't let him refuse, and grabbed his hand to escape inside.
After running for a while, I heard a child's voice beside me: "You're going the wrong way. The path isn't this way, it's that way."
The child pointed out a path.
Xie Xing immediately changed direction.
Meanwhile, Luo Hanfeng and Xie Mingzhu's carriage had already stopped at the foot of the mountain.
Xie Mingzhu raised her head and vaguely saw the Yama Palace hidden halfway up the mountain. Ye Tai was with her beside her.
Ye Tai had a cold face, seemingly unwilling to stay by Luo Hanfeng's side.
Just as the two were at the foot of the mountain, a guard rushed to Luo Hanfeng's side: "Master, those two have escaped."
Upon hearing this, Luo Hanfeng's expression changed drastically.
His coldness instantly enveloped the surroundings, and Xie Mingzhu looked at Luo Hanfeng with some surprise.
The last time I saw Luo Hanfeng so angry was when he fought with Chao Le.
Why this time?
"Hanfeng, what's wrong?" Xie Mingzhu asked, puzzled.
Luo Hanfeng barely managed to suppress the coldness on his face: "Someone, take Mingzhu and Ye Tai upstairs."
"Mingzhu, something terrible has happened in the palace. I'll go take a look."
After saying that, he left in a hurry, without even listening to Xie Mingzhu.
Xie Mingzhu was about to say something to stop him when, in the blink of an eye, Luo Hanfeng disappeared before her eyes.
She bit her lip, a hint of disappointment on her face.
She turned to the guard beside her and asked, "What is the Palace Master going to do?"
The guard reported, "Reporting to Miss Mingzhu, two people have gone missing from the hall. They are the hall master's men. Their disappearance is a serious matter. If the hall master cannot find them, the master will surely blame us when he returns."
Upon hearing this, Xie Mingzhu's expression finally relaxed.
It's just a mystery who could be causing Luo Hanfeng's master to be so nervous.
"Humph!"
Ye Tai snorted coldly.
Xie Mingzhu then grabbed Ye Tai's hand and coaxed him softly, "I know you're resentful, but helping him is helping me."
"Just bear with it, okay?"
As he said this, Ye Tai's expression finally softened.
A bright smile appeared on that face that resembled Qi Yu's, dispelling the gloom in his eyes: "Sister Mingzhu, you saved my life, I will definitely help you."
The two entered the Hall of Yama, the King of Hell.
Seeing that things were almost done, Hua An quickly instructed Qi Yu to summon the Gu worms to draw the attention of the surrounding people.
Taking advantage of this time, he grabbed Qi Yu in one hand and the old princess in the other and rushed out.
At that time, Xie Mingzhu and Ye Tai had just stepped into the Hall of Yama.
Xie Mingzhu was horrified to see the venomous insects flying around inside.
Ye Tai scoffed, "A mere trifle!"
Having said that, he summoned the Gu worm in his hand.
His Gu worm was a Golden Silkworm Gu, and just its appearance caused the Gu summoned by Qi Yu to disrupt the formation.
