Chapter 248.1: Skin Cage Grub (2/2)

The only thing she had to do now was buy more time.

However, she definitely couldn’t resist them head on. Baili Yu was truly way too incomprehensible. She had played over ten songs tonight, but hadn’t managed to enchant him for even a few moments. It must be known that she had aimed all of that enchanted music towards Baili Yu. Jun Xin had fallen to the spell from just being hit with the aftermath of the music, yet Baili Yu was completely fine despite the full force of the music being directed towards him.

If it weren’t for the fact that something had suddenly happened to that woman, causing Baili Yu to walk out from Orchid Fragrance Pavilion, she would have already been heavily injured by the rebound.

If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have accepted that employer’s task and attacked Baili Yu. She had been too naive.

Jun Xin didn’t disturb her when she lowered her eyes and sank into her own thoughts. He simply sat there quietly as if he was waiting for her to speak.

When Feng Long went over, this was the scene she saw. Jun Xin seemed to be sitting there and scrutinizing Qing Moran. A self-mocking expression flashed across her face. From the looks of it, he still liked normal girls more.

As she thought about this, she leaned into the shadows nearby and stayed there silently to watch Jun Xin.

The interrogation seemed to have sank into a stalemate. Qing Moran didn’t speak and Jun Xin also sat there extremely patiently. Due to the mask, one couldn’t see his expression, but the chill in the room grew increasingly intense and pressured Qing Moran to the point she could barely breathe.

“If you want me to help, that’s not impossible,” said Qing Moran.

Jun Xin didn’t even lift an eyelid. “Speak.”

“The only reason I’m not helping is because I want to live. As long as you guys guarantee my safety, of course I’d be happy to help Baili gongzi.”

“And then?”

“As long as you guys promise not to kill me after I help, I’ll help you guys question that person!”

Qing Moran was laying the most important issue on the table, which was that they couldn’t afford any mistakes in this matter. However, Qing Moran had to die. The only difference in the outcome was whether her death would be a little less tragic.

So if what she wanted was to live… Jun Xin gave a cold laugh without replying.

Qing Moran also knew that there was no way they would easily agree. However, right now she was only working on buying more time. She didn’t really expect them to agree.

How was it possible for Jun Xin to not know what she was thinking? From the looks of it, it wouldn’t be possible to complete the task Baili Yu gave in a refined way.

“Very good.”

Qing Moran looked towards him in confusion. What was very good?

“It’s a very good request,” Jun Xin continued. “But, it’s not possible.”

“I’ll give you an hour to think about whether you’ll agree to do it or not. If you don’t agree, you’ll die. If you agree, you’ll still die.” Jun Xin cruelly declared that death was her inevitable fate.

Qing Moran’s face paled even more. Her lips trembled but she didn’t dare to question it. This person definitely wouldn’t say things as a joke.

“An hour…” Jun Xin flicked his finger and a blue flame ignited on the special candle attached to the wall. It would burn for half an hour, then go out. “I believe you’ve heard of the Skin Cage Grub?”

The sentence Jun Xin said right before leaving successfully caused Qing Moran’s face to turn as pale as the color of paper.

Skin Cage Grub? Wasn’t he Baili Yu’s subordinate? How does he know of the Seven Great Saint Tribes’ methods? Could it be…

Qing Moran didn’t dare to continue thinking about this. The more she learned, the more tragically she would probably die.

She slumped to the ground. Could it be that this was it for her?
