Chapter 25

Tairis was stunned by this sudden, inexplicable remark, then immediately pulled the trigger with his index finger resting on it, firing two bang-bang shots without hesitation; unfortunately his aim was poor, and the two bullets didn't even graze a single hair of Su Qing.

"I'll be damned, the nickname 'Outline Master' sure lives up to its reputation." Su Qing stood in place, looking at the two bullet holes in the wall beside him, and couldn't help teasing.

Tairis heard it, a flash of embarrassment crossed his eyes, but he still raised his gun aiming at Su Qing and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

As soon as his words fell, he noticed someone outside the door.

At a glance, seeing it was an old acquaintance, Tairis's tone shifted to mockery: "Selinna, I knew it was you; from afar I already smelled that reek of Weikeduo emanating from your blood vessels!"

Selinna wasn't having any of it, retorting: "Tairis, after two hundred years, your marksmanship is still this terrible, not an ounce of improvement."

After exchanging barbs, they didn't continue to be at odds, and the atmosphere lightened considerably.

Tairis glanced at Su Qing, then asked bluntly: "So, Selinna, what do you want here?"

Selinna said: "I just want to ask you for a favor."

Upon hearing that, Tairis's face, flushed from overindulgence, broke into a sneer as he said: "Asking me for help, Selinna, you seem to have forgotten that it was you who escorted and exiled me back then, and now you're asking me for help—do you think I'll help you?"

Facing the mockery, Selinna didn't speak, merely glanced sideways at Su Qing.

Their eyes met; although no words were exchanged, Su Qing knew it was his turn to step up.

So he strode forward, ignoring Tairis's threat with the raised gun, twisted his hand to disarm him, then performed an over-the-shoulder throw that slammed Tairis to the ground and rubbed him around a bit, then pointed the gun at Tairis's crotch and asked sincerely:

"Hello, can you help now?"

"Heh..." Tairis's face quickly turned crimson; he opened his mouth to say something but couldn't make a sound, only able to nod frantically.

Seeing this, Su Qing immediately realized he was still choking the man's throat and hastily let go.

"Cough cough cough..."

After releasing his grip, Tairis coughed several times, then, breathing heavily, climbed up from the ground, glanced cautiously at Su Qing, and with a stern face told Selinna: "Come with me."

Afterwards he led the two to sit at a table inside the room.

At that moment Su Qing finally had a chance to observe the room; he saw it was luxuriously decorated in an antique style, with rosewood wardrobes, genuine leather sofas, silk beds—everything one could want—and even on the large bed now were two women dressed lightly.

"Your days in exile sure are living the good life." Selinna likewise saw it and couldn't help mocking again: "Not only do you have women, but you even have a werewolf as a guard dog."

Possibly frightened by the beating, Tairis didn't dare conceal anything and directly admitted: "I have a deal with Luxien; all these are gifts he gave me."

Although she already knew the truth, hearing Tairis admit it himself, Selinna couldn't help but say: "You've betrayed the Blood Clan, Tairis."

Tairis, upon hearing that, explained: "I'm only doing this to survive; moreover, Weikeduo betrayed me first, so I'm doing this for self-preservation."

After saying that, he finally realized and asked in surprise: "Selinna, do you know Luxien isn't dead?"

"Of course." Selinna nodded, then added: "I not only know that Luxien isn't dead, I also know that Kailwen and Luxien are cooperating, and even more, I know my family was actually killed by Weikeduo."

Her answer exceeded Tairis's expectations, and he couldn't help but ask: "How did you find out all this?"

"Where I learned this from is none of your business." Selinna glanced at Su Qing, then continued: "This time I came to you to gather some information, and incidentally to obtain some corpse-dissolving water."

"Sure, you can ask me anything and I'll answer, but what exactly is this corpse-dissolving water?" Tairis was somewhat confused.

Only when Selinna pulled a bottle from her pocket did he react, nodding and asking: "How much do you need?"

"We need one hundred liters." Su Qing interjected, stating the demand.

"What? One hundred liters."

Tailisi felt a wave of dizziness after hearing that; this kind of liquid that can dissolve corpses was something he had accidentally obtained during his experiments—if it were only a small amount, he could indeed make it, but one hundred liters, even if he added his own blood, he couldn't gather that much.

"How come, you can't make it?" Su Qing asked, frowning.

"This……" Tailisi shivered, shrinking his neck, speaking cautiously: "I don't have enough materials here; I might not be able to make that much corpse-dissolving water."

Su Qing thought for a moment, then said: "In that case, just make as much as you can."

"Hey, okay, thanks for your understanding."

Tailisi didn't expect Su Qing to be so easygoing; his face lit up with joy, and he repeatedly promised to make it as quickly as possible without sleeping or drinking blood.

But he had no idea that Su Qing never valued corpse-dissolving water from the start; his earlier mention of one hundred liters was just to scare him.

Su Qing actually had two real purposes for coming to the prison this time.

First, through Tailisi, to let Selinna feel at ease.

Selinna is a very resilient woman with her own thoughts; due to Weike Duo's deception, her past life was filled with battle and slaughter, numbness and loneliness.

Women of this type, once in love, become psychologically very sensitive, prone to overthinking and gaining and losing anxiously.

Hmm, while on the Ocean Goddess ship, Su Qing had already noticed this tendency in Selinna.

Even afterward, during the eight days from departing Bilishi to arriving in Xiongyali, it became even more obvious.

This result directly led to Su Qing not succeeding even once during those eight days.

Especially today, when he said during the daytime that Kailwen, Tailisi, and the werewolves were cooperating, although her surface remained noble and cold, the tranquility in her eyes was gone; while guiding on horseback, she often spaced out.

Therefore, to help Selinna out of this state, Tailisi's assistance was needed.

And the method merely required him to testify that Su Qing's words were all true.

It sounds very simple, but it is actually very effective.

Just like now, Selinna's gaze toward him has become much gentler.

And the second purpose is Yalishanda·Kewennasi.

Su Qing wanted to obtain his bloodline; when he first watched the movie, Tailisi had given an address: "Pier 17, find Luolunzi·Maikalo," but that was ninety years later; now whether Yalishanda·Kewennasi is still alive or not is unknown.

So, the only person to come to is Tailisi, the one who gave the address in the original movie.

With myriad thoughts racing through his mind, Su Qing showed nothing on the surface, waving at Tailisi and saying: "Alright, first prepare a room for me and Selinna; afterward we'll stay at your place!"

"Okay, follow me; I'll arrange a room for you right away."

Tailisi had long noticed that the two's relationship was not ordinary; hearing this merely confirmed his suspicion, so his expression didn't change as he turned and led Su Qing and the other to arrange a room.

Five minutes later.

"This is the place." Tailisi pushed open the door, turned and said: "If you need anything, just call me."

Su Qing walked into the room, glanced at the decent furnishings, waved his hand and said: "Alright, go on; you have nothing to do here."

Okay, if anything happens, you can call me.

After Tairis left, Su Qing closed the door, and just as he turned around he saw Selinna gazing at him with eyes full of affection, saying:

I want to be on top!

Seeing Selinna's tone so firm, what could Su Qing do?

Of course I'll help her achieve it!
