Chapter 259 (2/2)
Her little fingers stroke the strings. Zheng! A sound similar to the ripping of silk was heard!
Her strength control was excellent, so she didn’t overexert herself enough to break the strings. Instead, she lacked the power to shake the hearts of people to the core with the guqin’s sound.
The little qilin was shaking in fright by the sudden sound which shook its brain.
As for the red clothed man, his expression changed as if his heartstrings had been fiercely plucked by Ning Xuemo. His hands tightly clenched into a fist, “YOU!”
The smile on Ning Xuemo had disappeared as she coldly stated, “My patience has its limits. I’ll count to three. If you still haven’t agreed to our terms, I’ll simply bring this guqin with me to the other side! One!”
The red clothed man changed as he didn’t expected her to be so unwavering with her threats!
In the end, he didn’t dare to take the risk of provoking her. He took a deep breath and then said, “Alright! I agree to your conditions!”
Ning Xuemo didn’t buy his words at all, “You swear first.”
The man spoke the oath as she instructed. After he was done, with fuming anger, he told Ning Xuemo, “This time, you should be reassured, right? Now give me back my guqin!”
Ning Xuemo beamed a sweet smile at him, “Your Excellency is really straightforward, I love it. Now, open the exit. After you send us out, it would truly be considered as you completing your part of the deal.”
‘This little girl really won’t allow herself to be disadvantaged even at the slightest!’
The man was simply angered by her to the point that his teeth itched. However, he had no other options. Without any other choice, he waved his sleeve and a wave of pale golden light shot toward the ceiling of the hall.
[1] Oh! Another pompous “I”! Benzou () is the synonym of benzun which is “I, this sovereign”.
