Chapter 777

Hulei looked toward Seeing Jiaoqiu, a bloodthirsty and cruel expression on his face.

Hearing Moze: "What a pity, Jiaoqiu — it looks like you're about to die a hero's death."

Hearing Moze: "But don't worry, I'll do my best to gather up your remains."

Hearing Moze: "I'll see to it that you're buried whole and intact."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "You brat!!"

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "You're that eager to see me dead?"

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "Can't you say something nice?"

Hearing Moze: "If nice words could help you survive Hulei's hands, I wouldn't mind saying a few more."

Hearing Moze: "But given the current situation, that's clearly of no use whatsoever."

Furina: "Oh no, Mr. Jiaoqiu absolutely can't die!"

Furina: "He doesn't have the ability to resurrect — if he dies, he's really dead."

Miss Qingque: "Hulei's already run out of patience."

Miss Qingque: "He figures that once he escapes through that gate, Mr. Jiaoqiu has no more value to him."

Ying: "At this point, unless Miss Stelle and the others can arrive in time..."

Ying: "Otherwise, if Mr. Jiaoqiu wants to live, he can only stall Hulei and prove he still has value to be exploited."

General Feixiao: "Well said — it all depends on whether Jiaoqiu's brain can spin fast enough right now."

The video continues.

【He's about to leave... think of something, quick... just like before, Jiaoqiu, you useless, helpless wretch... think of something...】

Watching Hulei about to escape at any moment,

and wanting to finish him off,

Jiaoqiu grew increasingly anxious inside,

and cold sweat began to bead on his face.

【Perhaps the Yaoqing envoy could make a deal with us to save his own life — use his status to help us leave Luofu Xianzhou.】

【Am I right, Mr. Jiaoqiu?】

The Modu beside him,

at this moment walked up before Jiaoqiu,

and began laying out his terms.

【In the days I've been away, just how pathetic have you all become?】

【Actually haggling with livestock?】

【In my memory, the people of Yaoqing would never strike this kind of deal with the descendants of Dulan.】

Hulei watched Modu's behavior,

his expression deeply disappointed.

Stelle: "Great chance!"

Stelle: "If Jiaoqiu just agrees to him for now, he can survive!"

Hearing Moze: "Normally, as a Yaoqing person, even in death, one would never yield to the Buli people."

March 7th: "Ehh, how is that yielding?"

March 7th: "It's just a temporary expedient to save his life!"

March 7th: "Mr. Jiaoqiu's top priority is to find a way to survive first and wait for rescue."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "True, I do need to find a way to stay alive first."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "Because I can't die yet."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "Likewise, I can't let Hulei get away."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "Otherwise, not only would it be a disaster for Luo Fu, but for Yaoqing and even General Feixiao, it would be an unbearable loss."

Malany: "Right — on Hulei's body, there might still be a way to cure General Feixiao..."

Malany: "If he gets away successfully, that hope is gone..."

General Feixiao: "Jiaoqiu, Jiaoqiu — what can I even say to you?"

General Feixiao: "What time is it now, and you're still worrying about treating my illness?"

General Feixiao: "Your own life is barely in your hands!"

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "Heh, General, I'm just a medical aide who happens to know his way around a kitchen."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "Without me, Yaoqing would lose a little of its culinary culture — nothing major."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "But without you, Yaoqing and the Xianzhoulian Alliance would lose a pillar supporting the heavens!"

General Jing Yuan: "Indeed — the name of the Great Victory General shakes the Xianzhoulian Alliance, inspiring countless people across it."

General Jing Yuan: "If something truly happened to General Feixiao in the future, that would be a heavy blow to the Alliance."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "See? Even General Jing Yuan agrees."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "So, no matter what, I have to take this gamble."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "This isn't just for the promise I once made — it's for the Alliance, for Yaoqing!"

Ying: "To have a military medic like Mr. Jiaoqiu... how wonderful."

The video continues.

【I must... make this beast stay... whether for Feixiao's sake, or for Yaoqing's...】

The situation before Jiaoqiu's eyes,

after a moment of inner turmoil, he still steeled his resolve!

"Deal."

"Of course I have my own value in staying alive..."

"My identity, my knowledge of Luofu Xianzhou, and the fact that I know many things your subordinates, War Lord, do not."

Seeing Jiaoqiu stepped forward a few paces,

approaching Hu Lei, ready to prove his worth.

"You wretched beast, wag that pitiful tongue of yours, wave the banner and shout for the scraps of life you still cling to."

"Speak."

Hu Lei stared fixedly at Seeing Jiaoqiu and spoke.

"I suppose the War Lord does not know, the woman who defeated you... Jingliu."

"She has recently returned to Luo Fu."

"Your chance for revenge is right before your eyes."

Huohuo: "Eh?!"

Huohuo: "Mr. Jiaoqiu, the visitation prohibition rules state that when visiting Hu Lei..."

Huohuo: "Y-you absolutely must not say the two words 'Jingliu'!"

Guinaifen: "But Huohuo, given the current situation, can this even be called a visitation?"

Miss Sushang: "Isn't it even more dangerous precisely because it's not a visitation?"

Miss Sushang: "What if Hu Lei goes berserk the moment he hears that name? Wouldn't Mr. Jiaoqiu die even faster?"

Stelle: "What is Jiaoqiu playing at here?"

Stelle: "Trying to make Hu Lei fear at the sound of Jingliu's name?"

Stelle: "Or luring him off to seek Jingliu for a one-on-one fight?"

March 7th: "But didn't we just say Jingliu isn't here right now?"

March 7th: "She's gone to meet the Marshal instead."

Furina: "Could Mr. Jiaoqiu be trying to trick Hu Lei into thinking Jingliu is still here, to hold back his desire to leave?"

Furina: "Perhaps it's a workable plan?"

Hu Tao: "It might actually work."

Hu Tao: "Look, after hearing that name, Hu Lei has fallen uncharacteristically silent."

The video continued.

"..."

Upon hearing the two words Jingliu,

Hu Lei's expression immediately underwent a noticeable change.
