422 Under Control (2/2)

Obviously, Si Chen did not provide this information to her. Gu Xijiu had to interrogate the mussel to find out more.

The mussel did not wish to speak at first, as it was quite stubborn. However, Gu Xijiu utilized some modern techniques and extorted a confession from it by torture and psychological attacks.

After that, the mussel held nothing back and revealed all it knew without reserve.

Gu Xijiu finally got the information that she needed. She then looked at the mussel.

Perhaps it had sensed the murderous look in Gu Xijiu’s eyes. It trembled a little and said, ”Hey, you said that you were going to spare my life if I told you the truth! You cannot go against your own words!”

Gu Xijiu looked askew at it, ”I only said that I’d consider letting you go if you told the truth. Now that I have considered it, that you’ve killed…”

”Master!” The mussel called out abruptly, ”If you spare my life, I’ll acknowledge you as my master!”

Gu Xijiu went quiet. She knew that the mussel was wise enough to suit her actions to the time of need. However, others would typically only collect majestic beings that were outstanding, like the Pegasus or the Winged Lion. But even Rong Yan had once collected a leopard as his ride. As for her, the majestic being that she had a hard time collecting turned out to be a mussel.

Gu Xijiu looked at its shell and smiled a little. If it were to be her ride, it would be comparable to the speed of a snail. More importantly, where was she going to sit on it? She could not possibly sit on its shell.

”I’m not a ride!” The mussel immediately clarified itself, ”I know how to perform the Dream Killing skill. I can help you eliminate your enemy. If they get close enough to me within a mile, I can kill them imperceptibly.”

”I think that you can always kill your master with that skill, too,” said Gu Xijiu with a faint smile, while she pointed the tip of the sword at it.
