Chapter 221 – Treasuring Words Like Gold

“Jiu Zun you degenerate! I curse you to never grow up and to remain a kid forever!” Ning Xuemo finally could not help but start cursing him.

“What did you say?” There was finally some movement from behind her. A small body slowly made its way into her field of vision. A pair of deep blue eyes calmly stared at her.

‘So he didn’t leave!’

He had always been hidden behind her!

“Apologize! Apologize and benzun will release you.” Jiu Zun’s facial expression became calmer. His condition seemed better than before, his originally pale face now had a healthy, apple-like blush to it. It seemed like he recovered quite a bit.

After being acquainted with her for while, he roughly understood her character. So, he thought that she would continue to pretend to be strong and say “No”, but, contrary to expectations, she actually smiled and bluntly said, “Sorry.”

The most important requirement of a secret service agent was flexibility and great adaptability no matter the circumstances, which included the quality of being able to judge when one should concede or stand firm, and to tolerate many unbearable things.

Her words were blunt, but also had a faint feeling of alienation.

Jiu Zun’s eyes flashed. He observed her expression for a moment.

Ning Xuemo did not react. “Jiu Zun, I already apologised. Can you let me go now?”

Jiu Zun’s sleeve lifted. Ning Xuemo’s body finally responded to her commands. She had regained her freedom. She stretched her stiffened limbs for a bit. When the numbness in her legs finally faded, she immediately started striding forwards.

‘She finally stopped being a chatterbox.’

Jiu Zun was more satisfied as he relaxedly followed her.

This tunnel was actually longer than expected. Both of them, one in front and the other following behind, walked for around 4 hours, but they had yet to see the end of the tunnel.
