Chapter 274.1: Friendship Born of Having Weathered Dangerous Situations Together (1/2)

Tang Doudou dusted off her hands, then walked back to sit down.

“Who asked you to be so long-winded and talk so much…” muttered Tang Doudou. Her ears felt much better now that Shen Moru’s voice wasn’t continuously scratching her eardrums.

At first she had planned to used the needles on herself, but it occurred to her that this was her first time doing acupuncture.

If she ended up missing, she would definitely suffer. Her gaze shifted towards Shen Moru and an idea occurred to her. Rather than risk stabbing herself the wrong way, she should just use the needles on Shen Moru!

Although she was apprehensive while approaching Shen Moru due to fear that he would suddenly rise up and attack her, Shen Moru didn’t even react when she stabbed the needles in him.

It was only now that Tang Doudou realized Shen Moru was probably quite injured. It was likely that he was hanging on by just a breath. Otherwise, why would he be so well-behaved?

Also, she couldn’t have killed him with those needles earlier, right?

When her thoughts arrived at this point, she turned to look towards where Shen Moru was sitting. What she saw immediately caused her back to be covered with cold sweat. Where was he?

She hastily looked around but didn’t see Shen Moru anywhere. Her heart dropped. Oh no, he was gone!

However, Shen Moru seemed half dead just a moment ago. How could he have disappeared in the blink of an eye?

Could it be…

A lightbulb lit up in Tang Doudou’s brain. The needles!

This thought had just occurred to her when Shen Moru’s sinister voice came from the other side of the cave. “Little girl, say, should I be grateful to you, or extremely grateful to you?”

Tang Doudou trembled as she looked over, but she couldn’t tell where he was. “W-what do you want?”

After she finished asking, she itched to slap herself again. The thing Shen Moru had been trying to do this whole time was capture her in order to feed her blood to the bugs!

“Heehee, can’t you tell what I want to do?” Shen Moru’s sinister voice contained strong resentment. “In the end, you’ve still fallen into this old man’s hands!”

When Tang Doudou heard this, she knew that he was about to make a move and tightened her grip on the iron chains. “Mu Ye is here in this cave and definitely hasn’t gone far. As long as I pull this iron chain, he’ll immediately head back. Who has fallen into whose hands still isn’t for certain. I’d advise you to take advantage of this chance to hurry and escape!”

Shen Moru just laughed coldly. “Head back? I’m afraid he probably isn’t capable of doing so anymore!”

Tang Doudou’s heart tightened and she shouted, “Liar!”

“I’m not lying, but wouldn’t you know once you try?” said Shen Moru coldly.

Tang Doudou didn’t pay too much heed to his words and started thinking about the current situation. Since Shen Moru was able to move again, why hadn’t he immediately caught her and was instead wasting so much time speaking with her?

And he even told her to try calling Mu Ye back?
