C362 (1/2)

I just couldn't understand how Xiao Er, who brought me half a jug of wine, could have gotten drunk with my impudent tolerance for alcohol. Not only was he drunk, his ears were also ringing, and his head was splitting. His entire body was so stiff that he couldn't move at all, as though someone had spasmed him.

I opened my eyes in a daze, and the first thing I saw was Second Miss Xiao's dignified and beautiful face. Her face was directly below my line of sight, a few feet away from me.

In a daze, I was stunned for a moment. I was drunk last night, but then I went to sleep. I should be lying on the bed right now. Second Miss Xiao has always been kind to me, so she must have taken care of me all night last night. It's understandable that she would appear by my bedside now, but why does she seem so small, a few meters away from me? Moreover, this distance was vertical and not horizontal.

”Water …”

I felt my mouth go dry, and a burning sensation of thirst burned my throat. I wanted to wave to Second Miss Xiao and ask her to pour me a cup of tea, but I found that I couldn't move my hands at all. I looked down in bewilderment, and a chill came from the bottom of my heart.

I was tied up and hung!

His hands had been cut back to his back, and his entire body had been tied up like a twist by a strange rope, which he then attached to a pillar behind him. My feet didn't hang in the air, because underneath the pillar, around my body, there was a pyramid of firewood, and now my feet were on top of the pyramid.

This was a ravine in the wilderness. The surrounding trees were tall and dense, creating a dense darkness that made it difficult for people to see what was happening in the distance. In the middle of the ravine was a piece of flat land. At the edge of the flat land, there was an eight-seater table and two chairs. In the center of the flat land, there was a pile of firewood pyramid. At this moment, I was tied to the top of the pagoda, while Miss Xiao was sitting on a chair beside the Eight Immortals Table. She was dressed in white, and had a sorrowful expression on her face.

What was going on? lynching? cremation? Or are you going to tie me up and roast me like a fox?

I looked quickly around the room, and then at everyone else — all of them looking serious, not joking; especially Second Miss Xiao, who had been treating me like her own sister. Her eyes were red, and she was glaring at me with a mixture of grief and disgust, as if she were looking at me as her father had killed her.

”Miss Xiao, you, what are you doing?”

I asked, struggling. I'm a Celestial Fox, after all. Even if my magic power is useless, it's still more than enough to deal with mortals. However, this time it was a little strange. The moment my body moved, the rope that was tying me immediately tightened, almost burying itself into my flesh! I sucked in a breath of cold air in pain, feeling a chill in my heart. Ohh, this is a genuine Immortal-Binding Rope! Moreover, it's something that exceeds my magic power! Where did Miss Xiao, a mere mortal, get such a powerful magic treasure? It looks like things are going a bit wrong.

”Hmph, you currently have no mana at all, so you are unable to break free from this immortal binding chains. The more you struggle, the more tightly you will tie yourself to it!” ”Since you once saved my third sister, let me advise you – you should just stay there and don't try to escape. If you do this, you might be able to alleviate some of the pain before you die.” Second Miss Xiao coldly said to me from a distance.

Die? She wants me dead?

My eyes widened as I looked at her in disbelief. ”Miss Xiao, are you drunk?”

She was drinking with me last night, and that was a lot of strength. She couldn't have been drunk, too, so she tied me up now to go crazy, could she?

”Wine?” Do you still remember that pot of wine? Since you like it so much, I'll let you drink it all at once! ”
