Chapter 828 - Unforeseen Occurrence (2) (2/2)

Jean was agitated by Bai Qingqing’s calm attitude, and her pretentious sweetness was gone, replaced by a vicious expression. “You’ve made me suffer so badly. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you?”

“Ssss—”

Just as Jean finished saying that, the little snake immediately pulled Bai Qingqing behind him, revealing a fierce expression at Jean.

Jean was given a fright and hid in King’s embrace.

King and the other merfolk didn’t have any emotions toward Bai Qingqing. There was neither aversion nor fondness. They were very calm as if they were looking at ordinary people.

“You don’t have to worry. We promised Curtis. We won’t go back on our words. You can just stay here.”

“King!” Jean spoke up angrily.

King stroked her head gently but didn’t take back his words.

Bai Qingqing was stunned for a moment. “Curtis?”

“I’m here.” The little snake was the one who replied to her.

Green veins popped up on Bai Qingqing’s forehead. She was so angry that she felt like giving the little snake a thrashing.

It was just that they were facing great enemies and Bai Qingqing couldn’t act up yet. She stood out from behind the little snake and looked straight toward King, saying, “I’m not scared of you guys. Curtis will come to save me. I can get him here immediately as well. Oh, the Curtis I’m referring to is his father. You guys should still recall that Curtis had come to my side instantly, right?”

King suddenly smiled, looking at the little snake, then saying confidently, “You won’t.”

The little snake secretly held Bai Qingqing’s hand. She could sense his anxiety and understood what King meant.

They and the little snake were betting with the little snake’s life on the line.

If her breaking free would cause the little snake to be killed by Curtis, then it was true that she wouldn’t summon him.
