Chapter 378 - Another World (2/2)
Xiao Bing frowned, “I can stay here for the rest of my life?”
“It’s totally up to you. If you leave and get caught, they will give you away as tonics. The ceremony is about to begin.”
“What ceremony?”
“You shouldn’t ask about things you’re not supposed to know. I won’t tell you.” Grinning, the beauty pinched Xiao Bing’s jaw and said in a bewitching voice, “All you need to do here is to please me. If you do it well, I will not give you away. Otherwise I can’t assure your safety. When the ceremony is over and there won’t be any need of any more tonics, perhaps I will plead for your life, if you can stay out of trouble and make me happy.”
Xiao Bing stared at her and asked, “What do I have to do to make you happy?”
The beauty chuckled as she met Xiao Bing’s eyes, “You know what? You might be the boldest man who has ever come here.
Xiao Bing felt his vanity was greatly gratified when he was complimented by a woman, especially when she was extremely beautiful.
Xiao Bing cast a glance outside and asked, “Are my teammates also imprisoned here?”
“Yes. But they are not as lucky as you.”
“They are all regarded as tonics?” Xiao Bing asked, frowning.
“They… You don’t need to know about that. Don’t forget that you’re my prisoner now.”
Xiao Bing inhaled deeply. The current situation was still not clear. When he was in Jingdong, his enemies were the ones in the dark, but now the situation had reversed.
Xiao Bing had done an overall research on the situation in Jingdong, and sneaked in with a fake ID. So back then, his enemies barely knew him while he knew a lot about them.
But now he hardly knew anything about this place. So he decided not to be impulsive, otherwise, Xiao Bing could easily subdue this woman. But Xiao Bing was being prudent now. He would not do anything without thinking about the consequences.
Suddenly there was some shouting outside the door, “Red Rose, are you there? You have being asked to attend a meeting.”
“Damn.” The woman muttered a curse, as she frowned.
Xiao Bing looked at her and asked, “Your name is Red Rose?”
“Yes.” The beauty looked around and fixed her eyes on Xiao Bing, “I’m going to the meeting. Don’t go anywhere. Wait… I’m still worried. I have to do this to you.”
Then she tapped Xiao Bing’s shoulder. A second later Xiao Bing fell to the ground. She put him on the bed and left the cabin.
“I just came back and you are asking me to attend a meeting. What is it that is so urgent that you need to bother me?”
“The day of the ceremony is fast approaching. Surely there must be many things that need to be discussed.”
“Fine!”
Xiao Bing’s eyes snapped open as the footfalls got faint.
