Chapter 1023 - Alive (2/2)

In the dead of night, on the tower at the center of the Barbaric Godism base, Qiu Muxue was staring up at the night sky, her eyes vacant.

“I thought you’d find a place where you could jump around in happiness. Why are you here all upset? You’re now the sole ruler of the Sacks,“ Bai Xiaofei’s voice rang out from behind.

Qiu Muxue turned around with a bitter expression. “I once thought that everything I did was to avenge my family, but now, for some reason, I can’t feel the pleasure of having my revenge at all.”

“Because there is nothing to be happy about revenge, but you already have a new goal, don’t you?” said Bai Xiaofei.

Qiu Muxue smiled. “Nothing can be hidden from you, really. However, I don’t think you will be able to help this time.” She sighed helplessly.

“Not necessarily. If what you want is to restore the Sacks to what they used to be, I may just be able to.” Bai Xiaofei chuckled.

Qiu Muxue was dumbstruck for two seconds before she grabbed Bai Xiaofei. “Really?!”

Since she didn’t control her force, Bai Xiaofei was nearly choked.

“If you strangle me to death, it’d be ‘not really,’” he hurriedly reminded her once he realized that struggling was futile.

Qiu Muxue awkwardly loosened her grip. “Sorry, I was too excited.”

Seeing her all chipper again, Bai Xiaofei decided to let it slide.

“I’ve been quite idle these days, so I went to check out that stone idol. Since the change started from it, we naturally need to seek the answer from it as well. And guess what I found?” He revealed a mysterious smile.

“What did you find?” asked Qiu Muxue nervously. She didn’t even dare breathe loudly for fear of missing any words.

“The idol is alive.”

Bai Xiaofei used his most nonchalant tone possible, but those four words were like thunder in Qiu Muxue’s ears.

The idol… is alive?!!!

“What… what do you mean…?” Her mind had gone blank. If the idol was really alive, then how strong did it have to be to endow an entire clan with such perverse abilities?!

And what is its motive?!!

“Don’t be afraid, it’s not as serious as you think because it hasn’t fully grown yet.” Bai Xiaofei scratched his nose.

At that moment, an impatient voice suddenly rang out in his mind, “Smelly boy, cut the act, won’t you?! Like you’d know heck if it weren’t for this lord being well-informed! Hurry up. If you dare to break your promise again this time, this lord will never help you again!!”
