Chapter 74 - Gorgeous Doctor (21) (2/2)

Of course, some selfish people had also tried to tame the golden serpent for their own use. However, the saint beast was not so easy to deal with. Every one of them ended in vain; some even paid with their lives.

These people’s actions increasingly angered the golden serpent. It vented its anger on the whole city, destroying almost the entirety of Xiling and causing heavy casualties.

“Miss, Miss, Feng Cheng negotiated with the golden serpent.” Hui Xue rushed inside with the latest news. “The serpent asked them to surrender you and Qing Chen and Xiao Rufeng, or it would massacre the city.”

“Xiao Rufeng?” Was she mistaken?

Hui Xue nodded. Right, it’s Xiao Rufeng, who was sent back to the Xiao family after you picked her up in the mountains.

“…” It was understandable to surrender her and Qing Chen, but Xiao Rufeng… For what? It forgot that it desired the colorful egg?

What was the untold connection between the golden serpent and Xiao Rufeng?

Ming Shu thoughtfully touched her wrist. Confused pieces of information flashed one by one before her mind’s eye, eventually summing up into useful conclusions.

Before, the golden serpent took Xiao Rufeng away briefly. Possibly something had happened during that time. The golden serpent… Was it the golden finger for Xiao Rufeng?

WTF… There was no such stupid snake in the plot!

Director! A snake is invading the world!

The colorful egg seemed to be Xiao Rufeng’s golden finger.

However, the egg ought to be robbed by Xiao Rufeng from Xiao Rufei. But now there was no intersection between the egg and Xiao Rufei, so Xiao Rufeng had no chance to grab it. So the plot just arranged a new golden finger for Xiao Rufeng?

Sure enough, she was the beloved reborn.

If one golden finger was gone, no need to worry, because there would be a second one, a third one…

I need to eat snacks to calm down.

“Then?” It was impossible for Feng Cheng to accept the deal easily as he was the male protagonist.

Hui Xue swallowed worriedly. “After the final negotiation, they only need to hand over you and Xiao Rufeng.”

The background of Qing Chen was the Drunken Flower Pavilion. The power of the entire Pavilion couldn’t be neglected by Feng Cheng.

Therefore, in the end, only her, being the “disciple”of Death Valley, and the unfavorable Xiao Rufeng of the Xiao family, became victims.

“Miss, if they knew your identity, they would not dare to hand you over. You… come on, stop eating, Miss. They are planning to hand you over for the peace of Xiling!”

“Well, they are not the ones who make decisions.” Ming Shu protected the snacks and answered, “Do I look so easygoing as to agree with them?”

“Miss, there are a lot of powerful masters in Xiling. We cannot defeat so many people.” Xiling was equivalent to the capital of the Xuanyuan mainland, where countless masters and predecessors could be hidden.

In order to protect Xiling, it was highly possible that those people would turn to these master elders.

These old monsters were beyond tough, and they would be difficult to deal with. In that case, the Miss would be in danger.

Ming Shu tilted her head and asked, “If they are that powerful, why don’t they directly handle the golden serpent?”

Hui Xue was shocked by the question, not knowing how to answer.

“Hui Xue, do you know why?” Ming Shu stared at Hui Xue with her chin held in her palm.

Hui Xue nodded, then quickly shook her head.

“Because the weaker side is always easier to deal with. Everyone loves playing the bully.”

Ming Shu drew a circle on the table’s surface and said gently, “Sacrificing an unimportant person in exchange for more lives, they think it’s justice.”

Her fingertip stopped in the middle of an invisible circle, flowing lights flashing inside her eyes. “But not everyone will accept to be the sacrifice and serve the so-called justice. When one stands against this, other people will unhesitatingly criticize them, abuse them, and put on their head the heavy hat of ‘sinner.’ Together they will push this person into the abyss.”
