Perhaps it was because he had been standing there for too long, but Chu Junqi's body seemed a little stiff. He turned his head and said to Cang Xiao, who was lying back on the bed,""What deal?"
That day in front of the Sunken Abyss City, he was originally prepared to walk back to Feng Xinyan's side. However, he did not know when many black insects had appeared under his feet. When he did not notice, those black insects had crawled into his pores and he lost consciousness.
Chu Junqi later learned from Cang Xiao that he was transported away by the black silkworms that day. However, because she had cast a cover-up spell, in the eyes of Feng Xin Yan and the others, he had disappeared into thin air. Chu Junqi had thought of escaping from the room, but no matter what he did, the room would return to its original state.
In the end, Chu Junqi finally stopped struggling when Cang Xiao sent Little Yuan into the room. If he was alone, he could still do all kinds of things to force Cang Xiao to let him out. But now that Little Yuan was here, if Chu Junqi did not protect him, Feng Xinyan would not let him go even if he got out.
Therefore, Chu Junqi and Little Yuan had stayed in the room for three days. Every day, they could only look at the sun rising and setting outside the window to determine how much time had passed. Cang Xiao was like a punctual bird that would come here every morning to report. Every day, he would watch over Feng Xinyan's every move at the bottom of the river for Chu Junqi and the others.
Originally, Cang Xiao wanted to let Chu Junqi and Little Yuan see that Feng Xinyan had only cared about herself and had not thought about them at all. However, he did not expect that this would have no effect on Chu Junqi at all. He only wanted Feng Xinyan to be unharmed.
However, Cang Xiao knew that she had cast a spell at the bottom of the river to make Feng Xinyan forget about Chu Junqi and Little Yuan for a while, so that they would give up on the idea of escaping when they saw them in despair. However, it was obvious that she had failed.
Since they had failed, he had to use another method to keep them, right? After all, if they could keep these two people, the strength of their Demon Realm would no longer be looked down upon by those immortals and fiends.
Cang Xiao knew that if she had not personally opened the river curtain, Feng Xin Yan and the others would not have been able to come out from the bottom of the river. Therefore, she could use this to threaten Chu Junqi. As long as Chu Junqi stayed, there was no need to say anything about the puppet. After all, the Blood-Carrying Puppet also had its natural enemies. Cang Xiao looked at the tiny black silkworm squirming between him and revealed a charming smile.
"Our deal is simple. If the two of you stay here, I will let Feng Xinyan and Feng Qianwei pass through Sunken Abyss City.”This was Cang Xiao's ultimate goal. She did not kill Feng Xin Yan and Feng Qian Wei that day because she wanted to threaten Chu Junqi today.
"What about Feng Qianwei's poison? The insect queen seemed to be healing her. I'll stay after she recovers.”Chu Junqi had been observing them every day. Even though he couldn't hear their conversation, he could tell that Feng Qianwei was seriously injured and couldn't wake up for the time being.
Cang Xiao's beautiful face darkened when she heard Chu Junqi call her Bug Queen, and a hint of coldness flashed across her face. Immediately, Cang Xiao revealed a somewhat troubled expression. She spread her hands and said,"I'm only responsible for letting them go. I…"
Cang Xiao's words were interrupted when she saw Chu Junqi congeal a ball of red light in his palm and point it at her head. She jumped off the bed and stood in front of Chu Junqi in the blink of an eye, ready to stop him from committing suicide.
"I don't know why you want me and Little Yuan to stay so much, but I can tell from your actions that if I die, you won't be able to achieve your goal. So, you can either cure Feng Qianwei and let her leave with Feng Xinyan, or I will die in front of you.”Chu Junqi smiled and nodded at Cang Xiao. He didn't look like someone who would say such suicidal words.
Cang Xiao knew that he couldn't watch over Chu Junqi all day long. That meant that he would have too many opportunities to commit suicide. It was useless to tie him up. This kind of cultivator had a way to seal himself up until he died.
Little Yuan, who was curled up by the bed, looked at Chu Junqi and Cang Xiao with her big watery eyes. She could not help Chu Junqi because as long as Cang Xiao was by his side, he could not stop his body from trembling even if he bit his lips. He did not know why.
Cang Xiao and Chu Junqi were in a stalemate for a moment. When Chu Junqi closed his eyes and brought the red orb closer to his head, Cang Xiao finally compromised. Cang Xiao raised her hands, which had been trying to stop Chu Junqi, with a look of reluctance on her face. She shouted,""Listen to me! " It's not that I don't want to save Feng Qianwei, but that Buggy's method is the same as Feng Qianwei's. If it were me, she would have to sleep for half a year. I'll give you a choice. You stay, and I'll let Feng Xinyan go. I'll send Feng Qianwei out half a year later.”
Chu Junqi couldn't help but laugh out loud. He ignored Cang Xiao's attempt to suppress the red orb in his hand. Cang Xiao was so angry that he almost wanted to slap this damned man to death. Cang Xiao took a few steps back and stared at Chu Junqi coldly.""Tell me, what do you want? I told you that my method of treating Feng Qianwei is the same as Chong 'er's, but she still needs to sleep for half a year. No matter what, you won't be able to take another step out of here!”
Chu Junqi furrowed his brows. Looking at Cang Xiao's expression, he knew that she was not lying. No matter who went to save Feng Qianwei, she would have to sleep for half a year. Feng Xinyan would not bring a sleeping person to Xi Yu Country to complete the mission of their master and their 'father'. However, it was too dangerous for Feng Xin Yan to travel alone. She did not know if that old locust tree grandpa would return or if he would harm Feng Xin Yan.
Suddenly, Chu Junqi lowered his head and looked at Little Yuan, who had been shivering by the bedside. He smiled as if he had thought of a good idea. Chu Junqi retracted the red orb in his hand. He had already thrown caution to the wind and smiled at Cang Xiao,""I have a good idea. Since Feng Qianwei wants to stay there and be treated by Chong 'er, you can either hand me over or hand over Xiaoyuan and leave with Feng Xinyan. After half a year, when Feng Qianwei wakes up, I'll ask Feng Xinyan to bring me or Xiaoyuan to replace Feng Qianwei.”
"Why should I believe you? Why should I believe that Feng Xin Yan will return? What if she ran away with you or this blood puppet?”Cang Xiao was utterly disgusted by Chu Junqi's suggestion. Just like how Chu Junqi didn't trust Cang Xiao, Cang Xiao couldn't trust Feng Xinyan either.
Chu Junqi shook his head and summoned the red orb again. This time, it was directed at Cang Xiao. He smiled and said,""You have no choice."
This was the first time Cang Xiao had been threatened like this. The most hateful thing was that she could not do anything to this person who threatened her because she really needed to rely on the two men in front of her to consolidate her position in the demon world. Cang Xiao snorted coldly and glanced at Little Yuan and Chu Junqi, who were cowering in fear. She narrowed her eyes and her beautiful face was filled with deep anger. She nodded and said,"Good! " Let Feng Xinyan leave with the Blood Puppet. But if she doesn't come back with the Blood Puppet in half a year, I will kill Feng Qianwei. After all, she is useless to me."”
Chu Junqi frowned when he heard Cang Xiao say that he would take Feng Qianwei's life in half a year, but he couldn't ask Cang Xiao for more. After all, she was already giving Feng Xinyan the best chance by agreeing to this trade. What would happen after half a year would depend on what Feng Xin Yan would do.
However, Chu Junqi knew that the hardest person to convince was not Cang Xiao, but Feng Xinyan.
Cang Xiao was indeed swift and decisive. After agreeing to Chu Junqi's request, she immediately grabbed Little Yuan and prepared to go to the Soul Severing Stream. Chu Junqi followed behind her unhurriedly, thinking about how he could convince Feng Xinyan to give up on saving him. This was Chu Junqi's first time walking out of this room that was as soft as mud. He would never have thought that he and Feng Xinyan were only separated by this door.
Feng Xinyan couldn't imagine how she was still struggling to get Feng Qianwei out of this damn place. Or rather, she wanted to take Chong 'er out with her to see the beautiful world. She had been trapped here for a hundred years. It had been hard on her.
However, just as Feng Xinyan was pacing around trying to think of a solution, Chu Junqi would suddenly disappear from her sight and reappear before her eyes. It was as if a person had suddenly appeared from the air beside you, like a ghost.
Chu Junqi never expected that he would be able to see Feng Xinyan once he opened the door that he had been unable to open. If Chu Junqi had known this would happen, he would have burned himself to open the door.
Feng Xinyan looked at Cang Xiao, who was carrying Little Yuan and Chu Junqi. The anger in her heart was completely washed away by the joy of seeing Chu Junqi again. She looked at him and wanted to rush over, but she was bounced back by an invisible door. Only then did Feng Xinyan see Cang Xiao, who was standing aside. She raised her head and stared at Cang Xiao with hatred." B * tch, let Jun Qi go!"”
Cang Xiao chuckled when he heard Feng Xin Yan calling her a slut, but the smile did not reach his eyes. Then, she threw Little Yuan in her hand at Feng Xinyan and said,"Take this little thing with you when you go out later. Don't get washed away by the river. As for your Chu Junqi, don't even think about seeing him again!”
Feng Xinyan quickly caught Little Yuan, who was flying towards her in a parabola. Feng Xin Yan, who had just caught him and wanted to put him down and rush over to kill Cang Xiao, was interrupted by a gentle voice.
"My good sister, you actually dare to appear in front of me again.”
Chong 'er finally reacted from Cang Xiao's sudden appearance. She stood up leisurely and walked to Feng Xin Yan's side to hold her hand. Then, she looked at Cang Xiao, whose expression had changed a little, with a smile.
