Chapter 69: Visit (2)
To Purple Forest Strea to the Zhu Clan’s prison to inspect the prisoners was h he cared for the fate of these Harpies as a Harpy hioal in the end, so he could only apologize to the act, as if the lives of these Harpies still an to carefully inspect and note down the circus like “This place is too dim,” “This room is too small,'' “Why do you need to put they has been sealed?”, “They are all Harpies that will be freed soon, so they should not be beaten and interrogated,” etc
Zhu Yunyan chuckled, “I can understand your desire to protect your fellow coh these Harpies seem quite dispirited, I can assure you that their condition is quite good See? Aren’t they all alive and well?”
She pointed around herself The countless Harpy prisoners gazed at Purple Forest Strea at a lifeline
Purple Forest Streahed in his heart as he said, “Can I spend sohed drily “You’re s hard for me You should know that’s not possible”
Purple Forest Stream had said this on purpose, so when Zhu Yunyan refused him, he was able to use it as an excuse to leave “Since that’s the case, then forget about it I only hope that Patriarch Zhu can……”
”AH!”
A sudden cry from one of the jail cells interrupted their conversation
As they turned around to glance at the source of the sound, they found a young Harpy standing in front of the door to the cell and yelling, “He’s not going to live for er! Please, save him, save him!”
Zhu Yunyan had just said that everyone was alive and well This was equivalent to a big, public slap in the face
Her expression sank as she walked over and barked, “What are you yelling about?”
The young Harpy said, “Please, Madame, look at him He’s really about to die!”
Purple Forest Strea inside the jail cell, his aura extremely weak
He could not afford to pretend like he had seen nothing just out of principle
Purple Forest Stream’s expression also sank “Matriarch Zhu, you promised me before that these captives would be fine”
“I already told you that one of the Zhu Clan’stoo much wine and wounded one of the Harpies It see that it wasn’t a new Harpy captive who had been injured, Zhu Yunyan’s expression relaxed as she turned around and said, “Open the door to this cell and bring this old ht the old Harpy out
Zhu Yunyan took his pulse quickly and said, “He won’t be able to last past noon”
When the young Harpy heard this, he knelt on the ground and began to bawl
The old Harpy lay on the ground, staring at Purple Forest Stream weakly He said in a low voice, “Is this…… Harpy…… here…… to save us?”
“Yes, but it seems like you won’t last until then,” Zhu Yunyan said
The old Harpy lifted his ar Harpy behind him “His name is…… Jade Brilliance…… Please…… Take him away……”
Purple Forest Stream frowned “This……”
He had no heart to continue lying In that moment, he had an impulse to tell those Harpies not to hold onto hope because he wasn’t even there for them at all They were merely a cover so that he could carry out his le his e to have a hard ti to lie to this old Harpy as about to die
The old Harpy suddenly stood and charged forwards, as if the sudden surge of energy right before his death had spurred hiuard next to his on his back unfurled, blocking the pursuers in their tracks as he pressed in close to Purple Forest Stream
“You?” Purple Forest Stream stared at the other party in shock
The old Harpy’s eyes seerabbed Purple Forest Stream by the throat He spoke in a low voice, “Save hi Flahtning seemed to have sla his retracted The guards charged forwards and pulled the old Harpy aside, only to find that the old Harpy was rasp had expended the last bit of energy in his body
At this point in time, his final wish had been fulfilled, so he died cleanly inside of slowly passing away
“Matriarch, he has died Forgive uard said, tre deal anyways,” Zhu Yunyan waved her hand casually, then stared at Purple Forest Strea to you?”
Purple Forest Stream forcefully calmed himself down, then sucked in a breath of cold air “No, he just hoped that I would be able to lead everyone out of here He wanted to use his own life to exhort me That old Harpy…… I feel sorry for him No matter what, I will fulfill his last wishes”
Purple Forest Stream knew that he couldn’t just try and save one person It seemed like the only option available to him noas to save all of the Harpies
All he could do noas hope that the young Harpy did in fact have the secret he needed
Upon hearing Purple Forest Stream’s words, Zhu Yunyan chuckled “Naturally The Zhu Clan is also hoping to complete this transaction”
