Bai Lung’s hidden gaze bored into Ling Fei,
The mysterious silent aura surrounding Bai Lung’s body exudes a palpable sense of menacing feeling.
” Hmmm…I want a simple thing, really simple. You seem to have something I desire… in return, I have information that could prove… most useful to you,”
Bai Lung said with a straight voice without unwavering, showing his full confidence, he even moved his hands forward, showing his friendliness.
Seeing this before her eyes,
The woman’s eyes narrowed, while her long furry ears jolted with her anger momentarily suppressed by curiosity.
” Information? About what? ” she couldn’t help but ask in confusion, she couldn’t fathom whether this man was an ally or an enemy
Bai Lung turned his attention back to her,
his tone dripped with condescension. ” this isn’t something that you should worry about, however, I have a piece of information about you too… Do you wanna know about the one who imprisoned you in this wretched form all those decades ago? The one you’ve spent a long time seeking to destroy,”The spirit fox’s eyes widened further while, the hunger for vengeance that had died down, came flaring to life with his words.
She doesn’t know how he learned about it neither she care… All, she could think of was revenge, and the haunting memories came flooding in, ” Senior! Please enlighten me then, I wish to know about it, ” she said in a small weak voice yet she couldn’t hide her anger.
At the same time,
Ling Fei glanced at the cloaked figure with worry.
his grip on the glowing artifact tightened from the fear that this man might try something unfunny. He was doubting himself and the cause for his uneasiness was the submission of the fox fairy.
Seeing how polite she was to this man, even calling him senior, Ling Fei didn’t dare act rashly.
” And what would you want in return for this information? ” he said with his dimly opened eyes, he still lacked trust in this man.
” Oooh~ ” Bai Lung chuckled,
The sound sends a chill down their spines.
” What? Well, the artifact, of course. A small price to pay for the key to your mother’s well-being, isn’t it wonderful? ” Bai Lung said.
—
Lucky for Bai Lung, after provoking the system, he managed to get this Information from the system.
He learned that Ling Fei’s mother is sick, suffering from a reverse Qi blood flow, and the dark past of this woman.
Thanks to this information, he was still standing with pride because he knew, he held the upper card.
—
At the same time
The woman’s jaw tightened, her pride warring with the allure of the information Bai Lung presented before her.
However, she smiled as she thought of taking revenge, as for this mysterious senior and that pearl… As long as, she can take revenge, losing that Pearl isn’t a bad thing.
Perhaps, she can even gain some insight from this senior and make a breakthrough.
…
Ling Fei, too, was torn, knowing that the power of the artifact was the only thing that made him something other than trash.
That’s why he didn’t wish to hand it over, he believed with this, he could save his mother.
Taking a deep breath, Ling Fei shook his head, ” Thank you for your kind offer senior, however, I have no interest in handing this artifact to you, ”
Bai Lung: “…”
The tension in the air was palpable as the three figures eyed each other.
Mu Hee’s gaze burned with an intense hunger as she fixed her eyes on Bai Lung, she wished to obtain that information, anyhow. After all, it’s connected to her mother.
” Very well, Senior,” she said.
Her voice was laced with a dangerous edge. ” Please speak your price, and I shall consider your…proposition,” she added, completely aware, that such precious information can’t be obtained for free.
Bai Lung’s unseen smile widened beneath the void robe. ” Excellent choice, however, I don’t have a price at the moment,”
With that,
He turned his attention to Ling Fei,
his tone escapes his lips with false charm.
” Fellow junior Daoist, I am willing to share what I know, but only if you are willing to part with that enticing little bauble in your possession… I know, too must be thinking that you can cure your mother with that, but trust me, you can’t, ”
Bai Lung uttered with a cold icy voice, completely aware of what Ling Fei feared the most at the situation.
Ling Fei’s brow furrowed as those words rang again and again at the back of his head, he had seen with his own eyes that his mother was slowly recovering from this pearl.
Yet this man said she can’t be cured… He was in a dilemma.
Things weren’t making sense. He was confused about whom to believe, this man or his guts.
As much as he thought this man was bluffing nonsense, he was equally scared about his mother’s condition.
Hufff!
Taking a deep breath, Ling Fei stood straight, looking directly at Bai Lung,
” And what guarantee do I have that senior will uphold your end of the bargain? How do I know that you won’t simply take the artifact and leave me alone, ”
Bai Lung let out a soft, mocking laugh. ” Oh! Dear Junior, you wound this venerable one. I am a man of my word – when it suits my purposes, that is.”
He paused, tilting his head slightly.
” However, I understand your hesitation. Perhaps we could come to a…mutually beneficial arrangement.”
” I will give you another information… Your mother has exactly 2 weeks to live, so, the choice is yours,” with that, Bai Lung glanced at the foxy woman.
He wished to use her for things that might occur during the plucking of enlightened lotus.
Using Lady Gu and this woman, Bai Lung is sure, he can obtain the enlightened lotus without putting much effort.

Meanwhile,
Ling Fei was confused about what to do… His heart was pounding faster and faster.
However, the next moment, his soul froze in fear hearing Bai Lung’s words.
” Hehe~ ##################### ” Bai Lung uttered.
” N-No… ” Ling Fei falls on his knees.
Ding!
