Chapter 145: Confrontation in the Secret Chamber
There was another noise at the door. Qing Li raised his eyelids lazily. As expected, it was the man surnamed Xue.
Today is the fifth day that she has been imprisoned here. During these five days, the only member of the Xue family that Qing Li has seen is this little master.
While dealing with this man, Qing Li also wanted to meet the two half-demons again to find out more information, so she also tried to attack the young master.
The two half-demons appeared immediately, but apart from protecting the man named Xue, they didn't speak again.
No matter whether Qing Li threatened or bribed them, the two of them seemed to have suddenly become speechless and did not say a word.
After trying two or three times, Qing Li gave up.
Seeing the Xue family member come in again, Qing Li said boredly, "I'm actually quite curious. Are all the Xue family members so modest? When I was at the Ji family, there were always different people coming every day."
The man surnamed Xue must have had enough of the sweet dreams of the past few days. He was surprisingly patient and said proudly, "With me here, who dares to act rashly?"
He then asked with a half-smile, "Why, are you dissatisfied with the lack of people and want to call a few more people to join us?"
Qing Li used his fingers as a comb to comb his tails. When he heard Xue's words, his fingers paused, and he raised his head and said lightly, "You think too much. I don't like you humans. I'm just curious why you've been here alone. After all—"
Qing Li scoffed and said, "Your human race, especially aristocratic families like yours, shouldn't be so harmonious with each other."
Upon hearing this, the man surnamed Xue nodded in agreement, "You're right. That's indeed the norm for aristocratic families, but this situation wouldn't exist in the Xue family."
He slowly explained, "Those who have feelings for you are my juniors, so you can rest assured. I have no interest in sharing beauty with others."
Qing Li put on a fake smile, "Oh, then I won't even say thank you to you."
The man surnamed Xue laughed again, a look of reminiscence flashing in his eyes. "You demons all have the same temperament. You all have clear likes and dislikes. You won't say a word to comfort others, and you can't tolerate the slightest loss."
Qing Li caught a glimpse of Xue's expression, and suddenly looked up at him with interest and asked, "Why? Have you seen many demon tribes? Did you trick them and get beaten?"
Xue's eyes moved slightly, and he sighed softly. He did not answer Qing Li's words but asked in return:
"I guess it took a lot of effort for the Chaoge Chamber of Commerce to capture you intact."
Not that.
Qing Li replied in his heart: Because I just took advantage of the situation and delivered myself to the door.
But before Qing Li could say anything, the man surnamed Xue suddenly chuckled and shook his head to deny it.
"I forgot for a moment that you're only level four, so capturing you alive wouldn't be too difficult. If you were level five or above, given the temperament of your demon race, the Chaoge Chamber of Commerce would most likely be left empty-handed."
Qing Li glanced at him subtly, making sure that this Xue man had not discovered her true cultivation level, and this was just a coincidence.
She smiled playfully in agreement with Xue's words and speculated, "You haven't deceived the feelings of a great demon before, and were almost destroyed by the demon, right?"
A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Xue's face, but it disappeared in a flash. If Qing Li's cultivation was not higher than his, it would have been difficult to notice.
Qing Li took note of this strangeness. It seemed that what she had just said was at least half right.
After Xue calmed down, he changed the subject calmly, "I'll play with you again today and take you to a new place."
He approached as he spoke, then shook his head with some regret: "It's a pity that it's only level four, I can't use it..."
Qing Li breathed a sigh of relief, finally taking her to the altar. Then she quietly let the man named Xue fall into the illusion she had created specifically for him.
Want to take my energy? Dream on!
Once we find the place, the death of you hypocrites will not be far away.
Qing Li thought to himself expressionlessly.
