Chapter 253 (2/2)

The red clothed man sighed once again, “A thousand years passed by, I made another oath : if anyone can save me within this next millennia, not only would I give that person riches, I can give that person the most revered position and serve that person as my master, obeying all their orders. Regretfully, like before, no one came to rescue me…”

“However, after that thousand years, you were filled with anger and swore once again that if anyone saved you, you would kill them! The only thing permitted was letting that person pick their death?” Ning Xuemo completed his reply.

An expression of surprise flashed through his eyes, “Not bad, little girl, you are really clever. Surprisingly, you can guess the truth.”

Ning Xuemo inwardly rolled her eyes. ‘What’s so difficult about guessing that? This kind of story is almost a carbon copy to a certain foreign fairytale about a certain legendary magic bottle[1]!’

When she was a child, she only laughed at those fairytale stories. Never did she expected that after transmigrating, it was like reality met with fiction! Indeed, fairytales must be based on reality in the end.

“Since you already guess it correctly, it will save me from explaining further. Now, you can choose your death. You should know that when I make an oath, I will never violate it.” The man lazily leaned on the crystal coffin. He looked at Ning Xuemo like she was already a dead person.

Ning Xuemo stared at the crystal coffin while she was continuously cursing in her mind!

‘If only that thing could reseal that man like the magic bottle did with the evil genie, it would be so great!’ Even if it could, she would still need to find the opportunity to trick him into entering the coffin before she could seal this scourge forever until the end of time! Nevermind, with the current state of the coffin, even if she could dupe him to return inside the coffin, she wouldn’t be able to seal him anyway!

‘What should I do?’  What should she do right now?

Her mind brainstormed all kind of escaping methods, but at this moment, there seemed to be no reliable method of survival.

[1] It’s story about a fisherman who fished out a bottle containing a genie. The evil genie wanted to kill him as soon as he opened the bottle to free the genie. The reason being that he was stuck in there so longer that he became angry and want to kill the first person who free him. The evil genie was then duped into returning into the bottle and sealed again. The End.
