Chapter 38: False Sentiments and Hypocrisy

  Min Xi didn't show up as scheduled, and I met a pair of twin brothers who were extremely doting on their younger sister.

  However, listening to their conversation, I couldn't help but think of the Death Angel Ghosts. Were they from there? Was I encountering a mini-boss ahead of time?

  "Alright, have it your way." Although Ice Face's expression remained cold, his doting on Hua'er was in no way inferior to Smile Face's.

  I'm actually a little envious of Hua'er, although she's spoiled and has two doting older brothers. And me? When will I ever get to see my own family again?

  The inner desire has emerged again, going home is a kind of temptation, so, since I can't escape, I can only move forward and accept all the challenges.

  Or, they'd be willing to take me to the Death Angel, that's fine too. But how can I get the tears of three angels? Are these two handsome men angels? However, I didn't see any angel wings on them, so it's hard to tell.

  Min Xi finally appeared, and when he saw them, his eyes sparkled.

  "Long time no see, old friend!" The smiling man put his hands in his pockets and greeted him with a carefree face.

  However, Min Xi's expression did not improve, and he asked in a gloomy tone, "Is he still alive?"

  "Who is he?" The smiling man lifted a strand of hair and played with it in his hand, asking casually: "Who is he? There are so many pet ghosts under me, it's normal for one or two hundred to disappear every day..."

  I didn't expect that Min Xi actually knew this pair of twin brothers, and even more so, the death of Min Xi's friend was related to these two brothers.

  "Brother, just be honest with him, Yuanping that kid's talent is too poor, he's already turned into a pile of rotten mud!" Hua'er said with sparkling eyes, but the words that came out were venomous.

  Is this really an angel? Why does it feel as terrifying as a demon, are they just so ruthless?! In that instant, I finally understood why Min Xi was so afraid of that place?!

  "Since the source is already unfortunate, you want to take back those three treasures, Min Mou even if he dies, will not tell you where they are hidden!" Min Xi's lips curled into a smile, and the sorrow in that smile was like June rain, cold and heart-wrenching!

  I thought Min Xi would be afraid of death, but I didn't know he still kept the secret of the three tokens. Was that stroke of genius a token? If it was a token, I think Min Xi wouldn't easily give it to himself either, so what were the other two tokens?

  Also can't help but think that if Min Xi keeps the secret of the three treasures, as long as he's around, we should be safe for now.

  "I really didn't expect that the old man would reveal the secret of the token to those two outsiders, and even more unexpected is that you, this stinky brat, would go to great lengths to hide those three tokens. But you think..." The icy-faced man said coldly, but suddenly rushed in front of me and grabbed his own throat.

  My heart suddenly skipped a beat, I didn't expect that this icy-faced man was also so ruthless, wanting to use me as leverage against him?

  "If you want to experience the pain of losing a companion again, then you can leave." The icy-faced man's cold tone was accompanied by the force in his hand, and his long fingers sank into my neck, leaving a thin mark that even oozed out a few drops of blood.

  I think Ice Face Man's threat is absolutely not fake, otherwise, he wouldn't have taken such drastic measures.

  Sai Guangchen once said that fragrant powder can only be used in extreme situations, is this the right time to use it? I'd rather observe for now, if there's really no other way out, I'll have to resort to using the fragrant powder to save my life.

  "You want to kill her, you want to tear her apart, what does it have to do with me?" Min Xi looked at me with a cold expression.

  I'm a bit puzzled by Ming Xi, previously entangled with myself, at this critical moment of life and death, he actually doesn't plan to save himself? This is also too unrighteous, what kind of partner have I found? A partner who is afraid of death, a partner who watches me in danger without any rescue behavior, I really feel tragic!

  No wonder Min Xi's previous friend Yuan Ping died, he really misjudged him!

  Even if I'm extremely resentful in my heart, my life is still in the hands of this icy-faced man. So, I gritted my teeth and said slowly: "Min Xi, you can say you don't know me, or that you don't care about my life or death, but with this attitude, even if Yuan Ping's spirit knows in the afterlife, he won't close his eyes in peace!

  Min Xi's eyes changed again, I knew he definitely didn't think that I would fight back.

  But now that it's come to this, I think he's gone too far. How can he be like this! Even if he wants to get rid of me, does he have to be in such a hurry! Or is he just a coward who only cares about saving his own skin!

  "Haha......" Hua Wuer laughed brightly and exclaimed: "Great, you've turned against each other!"

  My heart feels uncomfortable again, with a feeling of hitting my own foot with a stone. However, I don't regret my decision. If he dares to betray me, then don't think that I will be a docile lamb waiting to be slaughtered!

  "What's your relationship?" The smiling man asked curiously.

  "It doesn't matter." Min Xi said it in a careless tone, without even sparing me a glance after I had spoken so many words. He simply turned to them and said, "You can do whatever you want to her, but let me repeat my old saying: don't think about getting your hands on the token!"

  "Poor miss, your companion is so heartless, I really feel sorry for you!" The smiling man said with a vivid expression, but the fleeting sadness in his eyes didn't escape mine.

  Originally, having no loyal comrades is the greatest sorrow in the world. I really regret giving up on Xiong Xiaotu, at least he was sincere to me and wouldn't think of betraying me.

  Not all men have the awareness of protecting women.

  But everything is already too late. If I can really escape completely, I will unhesitatingly lock up Min Seo-gwan as a lesson to him.

  "I'll give you three days. If you don't bring the token to rescue her by then, we'll hand her over to Father King." Hua Er said, looking at Min Xi.

  "Just as Mian Xi was about to say something, the smiling man said: 'Let's go!'"

  Then, Ice Face Guy grabbed me like a chicken and indeed, I saw them unfold their black and white wings and fly into the sky.

  But why is it that I feel like I'm suspended in mid-air, as if I could drop to the ground at any moment, my whole heart trembling.

  "Do you think he will save her?" Smiley Face Man asked Ice Face Man.

  "I don't know." The icy-faced man said calmly, and then asked Hua Er: "Why did you say that?"

  "If he's willing to exchange hostages, we win. If not, we give the girl to the king and I reckon he'll be pleased, maybe even grant us some benefits." A calculating glint flashed in Hwaler's eyes.

  For these three siblings with such different personalities, I really find it a bit hard to deal with. Alas... how can they deceive me?!

  I'd rather not be given to an old man, but will Min Xi really save me? It doesn't seem very likely.
