Chapter 83 (1/2)

While having breakfast, Steele was constantly trembling. Her fear was at an all time high.

Killed? According to her knowledge about the law, it could be her outcome.

If she were the judge, putting a hanging sentence on the criminal who looked down on the court of law while being questioned, and then dozed off, was not too much. On the contrary, it was quite reasonable.

It was just that she didn’t want to die!

She originally wasn’t afraid of death. Especially these days, after having gone through many places and so many things, she felt deeply about Heaven and Earth.

There were still so many places she wanted to see. She was not willing to part with this world right now!

I had a blast yesterday and had fun creating this big mess. As a result, in the blink of an eye, I may be sentenced to death… I’m doomed!

She didn’t doubt Sui Xiong’s words. His furious appearance was absolutely not an act. In fact, she considered it good luck that she had not been beat to death right on the spot.

But this just simply delayed the death sentence a little bit longer…

Due to her fear, her meal tasted like mere wax. She even dropped her spoon several times on the table. After forcing herself to finish breakfast, she packed her luggage to leave the village. She felt even more tense now.

Execution, of course, has to be done outside the village. It is not polite to hang someone up to die in someone else’s village!

After they had gone quite a distance and passed a crooked ancient tree, Sui Xiong commanded everyone to stop.

“Enough, let’s use this place. This tree is very appropriate,” He brutally said. “Steele, are you ready?”

Upon hearing this, Steele assumed that the time of her death had finally come. Her legs buckled as she curled up on the ground.

Ray was also startled, as he thought that Sui Xiong was kidding or just doing this to scare Steele a little bit. He didn’t imagine Sui Xiong would really kill Steele.

If he were able to see the top of his head, he would have known that his guess was not wrong— although the tone of Sui Xiong was extremely ferocious, his eyes were clearly smiling.

Sui Xiong gently swung his tentacles, flying up from the top of Ray’s head. He shook his body to transform, turning into a giant jellyfish, which was bigger than an average-sized room. One by one, his tentacles emitted a dark power’s blue light. Each one of them looked like a rope or a ferocious snake that could firmly lock and strangle the enemy to death.

When a tentacle grabbed Steele, although normally she was very courageous and audacious, she couldn’t help but shriek loudly.

However, Sui Xiong didn’t hang her up on the tree, but instead, opened his mouth widely like a sacrificial bowl and swallowed her down.

Ray’s eyes opened wide and his jaw almost dropped as he saw this. He recalled his memory to see again what he had missed.

Hadn’t he said he would kill her here? How could it turn into swallowing? Hadn’t he said that he only needed to sunbathe and drink water? How could he immediately turn into a human-eating monster?

This was not right!

After a while, the jellyfish’s mouth opened, and he spat out Steele, who was unharmed. But the tightening gold hoop was no longer on her forehead. Instead, there were two bracelets that looked like birthmarks on the back of her hands.

The left bracelet was red, while the right one was blue. Looking closely, each bracelet had two layers inside and out. In the middle of the bracelet were many vertical strokes, separating the ring into twelve equal checks.

The red bracelet had twelve checks inside. Above the first check was a group of rays which looked like a flame. The twelve checks on the blue bracelet were empty; there was nothing.

“I have carefully considered this. I feel that the tightening gold hoop is too simple and brutal. Moreover, it relies on Ray’s supervision.” Sui Xiong cleared his throat with two dry coughs, and then talked to the two people who still had no idea what was happening. “Therefore, I have decided to change the method.”

“The two bracelets on your hands, the red one represents desire, and the blue one represents virtue. Whenever the desire surges inside your heart, the flame inside the red bracelet will be ignited. If the entire twelve flames are ignited…”

Speaking to this point, he stopped, and coughed dryly, indicating that the story had reached its climax.

These days, Ray had got accustomed to his speaking style and he immediately understood Sui Xiong’s intention as he smilingly asked, “What will happen?”

“Hahaha— she will turn into a pig!”

Turn into a pig?!

Steele shrieked in fear, as she never expected to passby the threat of death from Sui Xiong but have to face a terror that was not much better than death.

To a beauty enthusiast, if they were made to choose between “turning into an ugly pig” and “being killed,” the number of people who would chose the second option would likely be more than the first one.
