Chapter 716 - 716 Deal
716 Deal
Huanhuan was very angry when she learned that Xue Ling, Sang Ye, and Yun Hui had actually secretly run out to look for Xing Chen.
They actually ran off without even saying goodbye?!
If she hadn’t realized that something was wrong, the few of them would have planned to keep it a secret.
But after being angry, she was more worried than anything else.
!!
Huanhuan knew better than anyone how twisted Xing Chen’s personality was. If they forced him into a corner, he would really do anything.
She was very worried about the safety of Xue Ling, Sang Ye, and Yun Hui.
Huanhuan put the letter into her s.p.a.ce and wanted to ask how the three of them were doing.
The letter was quickly taken out of the s.p.a.ce.
The person who took it out was not Xue Ling or Sang Ye but Bai Di.
He was still on his way to Sun City. It would take at least three days to reach Sun City.
He was only planning to take some food out of his s.p.a.ce, but he did not expect to see the letter. It was written in Huanhuan’s handwriting. He read the contents of the letter and learned that Sang Ye and Xue Ling had gone to look for Xing Chen.
Huanhuan was still in Rock City. Only Shuang Yun and Shuang Yin were taking care of her.
Bai Di was a little worried about Huanhuan’s safety. He put the letter back in his s.p.a.ce and wrote a letter to Huanhuan, reminding her to be careful and not leave Rock City.
He sat on the tree trunk and quickly finished the meat pie in his hand. After resting for a while, he continued on his way.
After Bai Di left, the tree trunk he was sitting on suddenly sparked and burned to ashes.
After traveling for another day and night, Bai Di planned to rush ahead without rest so that he could reach Sun City as soon as possible.
But at this moment, he encountered an unexpected person on the way.
Zhi stood ten meters away from him. The black cloak on his body almost melted his entire body into the night, revealing only his pale face.
He looked as strange as a ghost.
Bai Di stopped and looked at him coldly. “Why are you here?”
Zhi grinned, looking even more ghostly. “I came to chat with you.”
“We have nothing to talk about.”
“Don’t be so cold and heartless. We had a good chat last time.”
The last time they met alone was in a small inn on the secret dragon continent. That was the first time they met.
Bai Di’s expression darkened. “I thought that should be our last meeting.”
“Of course, it won’t be the last time.” Zhi walked toward him, his steps very erratic. “I admire you and want to make another deal with you.”
Bai Di didn’t back away or dodge. He looked very calm as he secretly guarded against the other party. “I’m not making any deals with you.”
“Really? Then why did you agree to make a deal with me last time?”
Bai Di didn’t answer.
Zhi stopped a step away.
When Zhi got closer, Bai Di realized that grayish-white flames were burning and floating at the bottom of his cloak, making him look like he was standing on flames. The grayish-white flames made his face look even colder.
If he wasn’t talking and walking, others would definitely think that he was a corpse standing here.
“We’re actually the same kind of people. We’ll do anything for a certain purpose. It’s just that you’re better at pretending than me, so everyone thinks you’re a good person.”
Bai Di was expressionless. “I’ve never felt like a good person.”
“But in everyone’s eyes, you look like a good person. You’re gentle, considerate, steady, and generous. You’re especially meticulous with your family.”
Bai Di was in a hurry to get to Sun City and didn’t want to waste too much time with him. “Just say what you have to say.” He asked with a frown, “What do you want?”
“As I just said, I want to make a deal with you.”
“What deal?”
“The high priest of Dark Moon City wants to work with us brothers. They’ve made quite generous conditions. My brother is very tempted, but I think you’re more suitable to be a partner than them. After all, we have the same goal.”
Bai Di said nothing and listened to him quietly while silently remembering the news that they might be working with Dark Moon City.
Zhi said, “I hope you can help be a spy and think of a way to lure the prophet into my trap. After I devour his soul, I’ll have the same precognition as him. In exchange, I can help save your mate.”
Bai Di remained silent.
Seeing that he was unmoved, Zhi suddenly asked, “Do you remember what I showed you the last time?”
Bai Di finally reacted.
The last time he helped him, he saw Huanhuan’s past and also obtained a prophecy from her past.
A prophecy that could very well kill her.
He said, “I don’t believe you.”
Zhi smiled. “Actually, I don’t believe in you either, but our interests are the same. Your mate can only survive if my plan succeeds. Nothing is permanent in this world. Only benefits matter.”
“But I have a problem.”
“Oh?”
“I like to hold my own. I don’t need anyone interfering, so I’m sorry. I can’t accept the deal you’re offering.”
The smile on Zhi’s face faded. “You’re alone. You can’t change anything. You have no choice but to work with us.”
“No, I have a lot of options, but you’re definitely not among them.”
His expression finally turned ugly. “You rejected us today. You’ll definitely regret it in the future.”
Bai Di only smiled faintly. “You’ve got the wrong idea about plotting against me. You’ll never get anything out of me. If you’re smart, get lost.”
Zhi said nothing.
The grayish-white flames under his feet suddenly rose into a warm red color.
The red flames condensed into a blurry figure. It was his brother, Yan.
Yan’s voice was arrogant. “I told you before that this guy is very cunning and that we wouldn’t be able to convince him to come to our side.”
Killing intent appeared in his eyes. “Since we can’t be partners, we can only destroy him.”
“Haha, we should have done this long ago!”
Zhi and Yan pounced on Bai Di from both sides.
Towering flames swept over as they opened their b.l.o.o.d.y mouths like beasts to devour Bai Di.
Bai Di transformed into a white tiger and jumped away from the surging sea of fire.
There were two of them, and they were far stronger than him. The situation was very disadvantageous to him.
He turned and ran. They were not far from Sun City. As long as he sped up, he should be able to hide in Sun City.
Zhi saw through his plan and immediately said to his brother, “Don’t let him escape. Let’s split up and kill him.”
“Okay!”
Yan sped up and gradually approached Bai Di. At the same time, Zhi changed directions and intercepted Bai Di, preparing to block him in the middle.
