Chapter 39 Negotiation Failure

  Even if Min Xi had come after us with his lightness skill, just from this point alone, I knew that I could only fight alone.

  Suspended in mid-air by the icy-faced man, I felt like I could fall at any moment, as if my life would disappear into thin air. The fear in my heart grew slowly, praying for an early landing.

  So I didn't say anything either, afraid that if I offended the icy-faced man, he would suddenly throw himself off.

  However, unable to withstand the high-altitude flight, I felt a bit dizzy and couldn't help but faint. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in a dark dungeon.

  The ground was still a bit dirty. I wanted to get up, but found that my hands and feet were all tied up. This action of lying on the dirty ground really made me unbearable.

  I couldn't help but frown, from young to old I have never suffered such humiliation, having to stay in such a dirty place, it really makes me feel unbearable. But how can I get out of this predicament?

  I should have thrown the powder earlier, being caught and played with like this, is it fun?

  However, after they made such a fuss, I also saw through Min Xi's true intentions. He didn't truly like himself; when facing such a formidable opponent, he chose to retreat.

  My heart was stirred like a spring, and in my mind, I suddenly saw the handsome face of Xiong Xiaotu. He smiled brightly and sincerely, his true self made me feel warm. I really found that I had lost something very precious. If it were Xiong Xiaotu, even if he didn't have the ability to protect himself, at least he would think of a way to save himself!

  What have I lost? A bosom friend! But now there's no turning back, all I can do is wait for a chance to escape. Besides, I still have some use value, they won't kill me right away.

  It was as if confirming my own speculation, I could hear the sound of unlocking outside the door.

  Fine, just like in a TV drama, the villain always interrogates the poor protagonist. But what can I do to protect myself? Since Min Xi is so ruthless, don't blame me for being unrighteous.

  I am a person who distinguishes between love and hate clearly. To those who are good to me, I will repay them a thousand or ten thousand times over. To those who are bad to me, I will remember it in my heart and want to return the favor with interest.

  The icy-faced man appeared with a chilly expression, glanced at me on the ground and asked coldly: "Awake?"

  I couldn't help but think, he always has a straight face, is he tired or not? Even when I first met Xiong Xiaotuo, he maintained a cold demeanor, and later on, even after we became familiar with each other, he was still as silly as a little white rabbit.

  It's unclear how many times I've thought of Xiong Xiaotu, but perhaps it's when people are in the most dangerous and vulnerable moments that they truly discover who lives in their hearts.

  However, everything was too late, and the feelings between me and Xiong Xiaotu could only become a cornerstone of history. I just hope he can live well, that's enough.

  "My eyes are open, but I'm not awake. Am I still sleepwalking?" I forced out a mocking smile, unable to express the feeling of facing such a desperate situation, and yet all I wanted to do was laugh. Now that I've fallen into danger, there's a real possibility of losing my life. With my hands and feet bound, can I still throw powder?

  Hehe, what if they have murderous intentions? Wouldn't I be in big trouble then?

  "You're quite special, not afraid at all." The icy-faced man still had that stern expression, and his words were just as cold.

  "I'm scared, I'm so scared." I muttered to myself. Who isn't afraid of death? But didn't they say we have to wait for Min Xi to bring three tokens to exchange? So even if I will die, it's not now.

  "Oh." The icy-faced man calmly responded with a single sentence, then turned around and was about to leave.

  "Hey, don't you want to ask anything? You're just leaving like that?" I couldn't help but complain, this icy-faced guy's reaction really shocked me. I thought he would at least ask something before leaving. At the very least, I need to figure out where I am and what kind of place this is, even if it means dying, I have to understand!

  "You lowly person, are you qualified to ask me why?" The icy-faced man's tone became arrogant, and he didn't even glance at himself.

  Bracelet? Can't it play the role of a handsome man at this time? I moved my body, although the bracelet shook, but there was no movement.

  It's just as I thought, if the beautiful man's heart doesn't belong to me, then receiving his ring is just a meaningless gesture.

  "Nass, what do you want to eat tonight?" The smiling man suddenly appeared and put his arm around the icy man's shoulder, asking with concern.

  "Sandwich." The icy-faced man replied succinctly.

  "Alright!" The smiling man still had a smile on his face. I really don't know, their parents are so weird, and the children they gave birth to have such big personality differences.

  When I was thinking of something mischievous in my heart, the smiling man suddenly turned his head around and looked at me with a playful expression, saying: "How about you? What do you want to eat?"

  Is there even a share for me? It really makes me feel surprised. And at this time, my stomach also made an uncooperative rumbling sound.

  I withdrew my gaze and pretended to be serious: "Three dishes and one soup, a bowl of plain rice."

  "You also want to eat three dishes and a soup, with a bowl of white rice?" The sarcasm in the smiling man's words was extremely heavy, as if he wanted to pick fish bones from soft cotton.

  "Don't ask me if it can't be done." My temper also rose, I originally thought that dinner was settled, but looking at the smiling face of the man, I knew that I could only starve.

  "Oh... Ah, I seem to have forgotten. Hua Er said that you would be the maid, how did it become me cooking? It should be you doing it!" The smiling man seemed to recall something and suddenly realized.

  They want me to cook? Aren't they afraid I'll poison them?

  "Ais, are you sure she can cook?" Nas's tone was still cold, but his gaze at Ais had a hint of warmth.

  It seems that blood ties are really wonderful, even if Nas is cold, he won't be cold to his own relatives.

  "I'm sure she'll only make three dishes and a soup, with a bowl of plain rice." Ais shrugged indifferently and said: "Anyway, we've been eating the same things all along, let's see how skilled she is?"

  "Whatever." Nass tossed out the word and turned to leave.

  "Hey, you guys tell me, what kind of place is this?" I decided it's better to ask clearly. Nasu might not tell me herself, but Aisu, who always has a smile on his face, might tell me!

  "Originally, hostages aren't supposed to know anything, but I thought... " Ai Si blinked her mischievous eyes and asked again: "What's your relationship with Min Xi?"

  What is the relationship between me and Min Xi? Originally, I wanted to say that there was no relationship, but if I really said that there was no relationship, then they might have been able to resolve it themselves.

  My gaze fixed on Ai Si's face, I said slowly: "The grudge between you and Min Xi, I don't want to know about it. However, I took something precious from Min Xi, I wonder if it's the token you people are talking about?"

  "What treasure?" Aisi asked with sparkling eyes.

  "But if you're not good to me, then I definitely won't give it to you." I didn't answer Ais's question directly, but instead dodged it by changing the subject.

  "If you don't give it, we can search your body." Nass said with a serious and cold face.

  "Search her thoroughly, if nothing is found, strip her naked..." Ais said with a sneer.

  My face suddenly turned ugly, and I originally wanted to cheat them. It seems that it's not that easy. So, I can only say: "You're not looking for three treasures, are you? If you move me, then Min Xi might not tell you the whereabouts of the other two. You should know that if my relationship with him is not shallow, he won't give me things..."

  Nass looked at me with a suspicious face, while Ais still maintained a smiling posture.

  "What's wrong, Nas?"

  "Then..." Nas glanced at me and said coldly: "Lock it up first!"

  "Then let's shut it for now!" Ais replied, patting his belly again, and then grasped Nas' hand, saying: "Let's go have a big meal!"

  It seems they wanted to lock themselves up? I immediately said discontentedly: "You can't leave yet, at least you have to bring the meal over!"

  They didn't look back, closed the iron gate and locked it up.

  "Inside, the wind is good and the light is good, take your time to savor it!"

  "No, at least give me..."

  I hadn't finished speaking when I heard footsteps fading into the distance.

  My vision returned to darkness, and I regretted that our negotiation didn't go well earlier. Now all I have is an empty stomach!
