Chapter 53

"It sounds like a very cost-effective deal!"

Su Xuan’s tone was calm, but his words suddenly shifted, "However, why should I agree?"

"You must know, it is you who are poisoned by me and have no choice but to be controlled by me!"

Lady Mingzhu’s expression stiffened again. Being controlled by Su Xuan was the thing she found hardest to accept in her heart.

The one who uses the gu is controlled by the gu!

How absurd this was.

Lady Mingzhu snorted coldly and continued, "Just tell me, will you bet or not?"

"I have already given you the opportunity. If you don't seize it yourself and die later, don't blame me for not saving you!"

Su Xuan sighed, "Listening to you, Lady, have you already determined that I will die? I consider myself to have no grievances with you, so why do you want me dead so badly? You must know, if I die, it is not a good thing for you!"

"You are merely trying to say that if you die, no one will be able to cure my poison!" Lady Mingzhu’s voice was cold, "You don't need to trouble yourself with this matter!"

Before this, Lady Mingzhu had also had this concern: if she killed Su Xuan, no one would be able to cure the poison in her body. When the poison flared up, if there was no antidote, she would surely die.

But after her cousin Bai Bai Yifei returned, she gradually understood.

There was no need to continue being hypocritical with Su Xuan; she could completely adopt a strong attitude.

If Su Xuan really refused to soften his stance and refused to hand over the antidote even when facing the threat of death, then even if they were to die, Su Xuan would die first.

As for her, she would only die when the poison flared up.

But with her cousin there, even if he couldn't find the location of the toxin in her body for a while, with his methods, he would definitely not let her die easily.

Lady Mingzhu indicated that she was no longer afraid of Su Xuan’s threat of death.

Her confidence was her cousin, Bai Bai Yifei!

"Since you have said so, Lady, if I don't accept this bet, it would be too unmanly of me." Su Xuan said faintly again.

Lady Mingzhu sneered, somewhat disdainful.

After a few words, she found that Su Xuan was nothing more than this.

He spoke nicely, but in the end, when faced with the threat of death, didn't he still soften his stance?

Was this because he knew of the power of her cousin, Bai Bai Yifei?

Earlier, Su Xuan had revealed her background in front of her. Since Su Xuan knew her relationship with her cousin Bai Bai Yifei, it was not surprising that he knew of her cousin’s power.

Su Xuan then said, "You have already stated what price I will pay if I lose, but have you forgotten one thing, Lady?"

"What?" Lady Mingzhu looked at Su Xuan, somewhat puzzled.

"That is, if I win and survive this bet that costs me my life, what are you willing to pay, Lady?"

"You?" Lady Mingzhu was somewhat disdainful; she did not believe Su Xuan could win.

Even if Su Xuan could defeat Master Tian Ze, after Master Tian Ze, there was still her cousin Bai Bai Yifei.

This was a dead end.

When Su Xuan crippled Jade Tiger and offended Ji Ji Wuye, he was destined for death.

Of course, if Su Xuan gave her the antidote, she could save his life. Of course, sometimes, living is not necessarily better than dying.

Because Su Xuan had offended Ji Ji Wuye, even if he lived, he would not be unscathed. She planned to turn Su Xuan into a gu-human, a breeding ground for gu.

By then, other than being alive, Su Xuan would be no different from a dead person in every other aspect.

But, he would still be alive, so it wouldn't be a violation of the bet.

Of course, she could not tell Su Xuan these things.

This time, even though she was certain Su Xuan could not win, after hearing this question, Lady Mingzhu pondered for a moment and asked Su Xuan, "What do you want?"

She didn't mind giving Su Xuan a chance to ask for the moon; he couldn't win anyway.

"If I say that what I want is you, Lady?"

"!!!"

Lady Mingzhu was immediately furious. Yan Yan Lingji, in the cage nearby, had been quietly listening to the conversation between Su Xuan and Lady Mingzhu. Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on her face, and she watched with interest, "Interesting!"

Lady Mingzhu’s anger quickly dissipated.

This was not the first time Su Xuan had said something similar in front of her. Earlier, Su Xuan had asked her to do things for him; this time, compared to last time, it was just a bit more direct.

She said coldly, "If you win, what if I offer myself as the stake?"

She had also thought it through clearly.

If her cousin also lost, it meant that Su Xuan was a monster they couldn't deal with at all. There was nothing shameful about attaching herself to such a person.

But did Su Xuan have such strength?

No!

So, this sentence was purely a joke!

"This is what you said!"

Su Xuan looked as if he had Lady Mingzhu in the palm of his hand.

This made Lady Mingzhu feel some annoyance again.

She did not stay long at Su Xuan’s place and left after concluding the bet.

After Lady Mingzhu left, perhaps because she had lingered here, a faint fragrance remained in the air.

In the cage, Yan Yan Lingji looked at Su Xuan, her voice soft, "You, do you like women offering themselves to you so much?"

The bet Su Xuan had made with her earlier was the same.

If he defeated her master Master Tian Ze, she would have to use her freedom as the price to exchange for her master’s escape.

This time, the bet the mysterious woman made with Su Xuan was also like this.

If Su Xuan won, the mysterious woman would have to offer herself to Su Xuan.

Thinking of the contents of these two bets, Yan Yan Lingji was quite moved; how similar they were.

These two people were quite in sync.

Both were using other people’s lives as the price to conclude a bet.
