Chapter 599 - Mi Le’s Lie (2/2)

Chef drew his sword. Indeed, it would be far better to kill this man!

“I’m off.” Seeing that Yi Qing was about to explode with anger, Mi Le immediately turned around and reached out for the little boy, prepared to leave.

“Wait!” Shen Ying suddenly stretched her hand out to stop them.

“What’s the matter?” Mi Le paused. As if thinking of something, he grinned. “Can you not bear to see this handsome man leave?”

Shen Ying’s expression darkened. “You can leave, but he cannot!”

“Why not?” Mi Le stared blankly at Shen Ying. “You’re regretting this, aren’t you? Hey, hey, hey, Little Ying, you cannot do this! Even if you’re jealous of my good looks, you cannot take this spirit seed away. You cannot joke about these matters.”

“Who says I’m joking!” Shen Ying narrowed her eyes and looked down at the boy who was still clinging on to her robes and wailing. “We’ve already talked about this before. If you find out about monitors for me, I would help you locate the spirit seed. You didn’t keep your part of the bargain, so this deal has fallen through.”

“Little Ying…” Mi Le frowned and said in a strict tone, “You knew that the spirit seed is important to my plane. Now he’s already manifested. Huge changes will take place if he remains in this plane. He absolutely cannot remain here.”

“What if I keep him here no matter what?”

“Little Ying!” Mi Le was getting anxious now. “His sentience is almost mature. He’s only sticking to the both of you because you are managers. You cannot let your emotions get the better of you.”

“Oh.” She reached out and stroked the little boy’s head. “But I’m not a manager.”

“Huh?” He stared blankly at her. Something flickered across his face, but he recovered in a flash and frowned. “What did you say? Older Sister Jing already told us that you accepted this plane. How can you not be a manager? In any case, he cannot stay here. He must leave with me!”

Shen Ying lowered her gaze. “What if I refuse to give him over to you?”

“Little Ying, stop your nonsense!” Mi Le was beginning to look angry. As if recalling something a moment later, he raised his voice and threatened, “If you insist on doing this, then I… I’ll have no choice but to tell Older Sister Jing about this. Don’t blame me for that.”

Shen Ying’s expression darkened. She glared at Mi Le and did not say anything else for a long while.

Mi Le’s grin widened. He was satisfied with himself. “Alright, Little Ying. Let’s stop this. Take the spirit-”

“So this has something to do with my older sister as well!” Shen Ying suddenly exclaimed.

“Huh?” Mi Le looked at her, confused.

“You didn’t even ask my older sister about monitors.” Shen Ying’s expression darkened as she looked him dead in the eye. “No! I should say that right from the beginning, you wanted nothing to do with my older sister. The only reason for this could be that this thing about monitors is related to me.”

Mi Le remained confused and said nothing.

“The spirit seed is not yours indeed. You’re not doing this for his own good either.” Shen Ying pushed the little child over to the two men behind her. Stepping forward, she said, “Mi Le, you’ve bluffed me into the Void Land. What exactly did you want to do?”

“…”

Mi Le stood rooted to the ground. The grin on his face was completely gone by now. A moment later, he sighed, looking defeated. “Little Ying… How can you test me like that?” Indeed, it was difficult to trick the school bully. “Actually, I-”

“Say no more!” Shen Ying raised her hand to stop him from speaking. “Whatever you say can’t be trusted, anyway. I’ll ask myself.”

The moment she finished speaking, she activated the communication button on her wristband.

Eh?!
