Chapter 1369: Greed

Li Jie remained in Silence, not knowing how to refute; the woman before her eyes seemed incapable of reasoning, and perhaps the word "mercy" had never existed in her world.

"Heh, do you think I am unreasonable?" Xiaowei looked at Li Jie and couldn't help but laugh: "Just like you humans, having so many strange and peculiar emotions."

"Actually, in my view, there are many aspects of you humans that are unreasonable."

"We humans are not as unbearable as you say." Li Jie frowned slightly and said: "We have feelings, we are not as cold-blooded as you."

"You came to this world to kill for survival; there is nothing worth boasting about."

"Heh, yes, after I came to this world, I killed for survival." Xiaowei murmured: "Do you know how much I envy you?"

"You were born human, naturally able to live under the sun, you can enjoy so many things; humans should have been the most carefree creatures in this world."

"But you do not understand restraint at all; you demand without limit, and your vanity is too heavy."

"I admit that the things you mentioned exist, because there are too many people in this world." Li Jie raised her head and said: "But I will still maintain my point of view."

"You can maintain your point of view, as you wish." Xiaowei smiled slightly: "Do you know why I let you have your freedom?"

"Why?" Li Jie raised her head; since arriving here, she had not been sealed like the others, which was what puzzled her most.

"Because I like this skin of yours very much." Xiaowei smiled slightly, and she said word by word: "So you will become my spare skin; one day when I grow tired of this body of mine, you will take its place."

"What do you mean?" Li Jie was startled; to Xiaowei, was she just a skin?

In other words, she didn't know which day she would be occupied by her?

"In other words, perhaps one day, when the mood strikes me, I will occupy your body and make it my own."

Although she had long guessed this would happen, Li Jie still took a few steps back, her face somewhat pale.

"You can occupy my body, but I have one request." Li Jie gritted her teeth.

"You are not qualified to bargain with me right now." Xiaowei said indifferently.

"Remember, to me, you are nothing but prey, so you understand..."

"Even if I am prey, I am prey with thoughts; if you do not agree, I will destroy myself with my own hands." Li Jie suddenly grabbed a piece of gravel from the ground and pointed it at her own face.

"Are you threatening me?" Xiaowei glanced at Li Jie and couldn't help but laugh: "This is truly too interesting; you are actually threatening me?"

"I am not threatening you, I am discussing with you." Li Jie gritted her teeth and said.

"Speak, what request do you have?" Xiaowei stared at Li Jie and asked with great interest.

"Release He Yi, let her leave here safely, and I will listen to you." Li Jie said coldly.

"Is that your only request?" Xiaowei looked at Li Jie with some surprise.

She had originally thought Li Jie would propose some extraordinary request, but she never expected that the other party would only make such an insignificant one.

"That is my only request; if you do not agree, I will slash my face." Li Jie said coldly.

"It is not impossible, but can you tell me the reason?" Xiaowei couldn't help but laugh: "You must know, this request you made surprises me greatly."

"In my view, you humans are inherently selfish beings, but I never expected that you would actually think for others; this is somewhat beyond my expectations."

"Not everyone is selfish." Li Jie gritted her teeth and said: "He Yi has it hard, and she has a daughter in school, so she cannot have anything happen to her; you must release her."

"Unfortunately, I cannot agree to your request." Xiaowei stared at Li Jie, then shook her head slightly.

"Why?" Li Jie said angrily: "She already has it hard, why must you treat her this way? Release her, and I promise I will listen to you."

"Heh, do you think my identity can be leaked in this world?" Xiaowei turned back and sneered.

"I guarantee she will keep her mouth shut, I guarantee she will not leak those things out." Li Jie said angrily.

"Unfortunately, she won't; I know the little thoughts of you humans too well." Xiaowei said leisurely: "It is impossible for her to keep her mouth shut."

"Because of fear; when people are afraid, they will find those around them to confide in about the things they fear."

"So it is impossible for her to live peacefully; she will definitely spill the beans about me. As a Dark Creature, my identity in this world needs to be kept absolutely secret."

"Because in this world of yours, there are people who specialize in dealing with me; do you understand now?"

"Then don't even think about getting this skin of mine." Li Jie gritted her teeth, and the sharp stone shard in her hand slashed across her face.

For a moment, fresh blood was seen streaming down.

And Xiaowei stood to the side, watching her coldly, her emotions not fluctuating in the slightest.

"You must remember." Not until the blood flowed down Li Jie's face did Xiaowei's cold voice ring in her ear: "In this world, there are plenty of beautiful skins; you are not my only choice."

"If I were you, I would be obedient right now and let myself be slaughtered, instead of being stupid enough to slash my own face."

As her voice fell, the wound on Li Jie's face actually healed at an extremely fast speed; a moment later, her injured cheek was as good as new.

At the same time, Li Jie's body became uncontrollable and flew to Xiaowei's side on its own.

A scarlet, warm tongue pressed against her cheek, making all the hair on her body stand up in that instant.

"Cherish this face of yours well; if there is a next time, don't blame me for being impolite." Xiaowei sneered, threw her to the side, then turned and transformed into a mass of black Qi.

She was injured, so now she had to maintain her original state to let her wounds heal as quickly as possible.

Li Jie fell to the ground; she climbed up with difficulty, her eyes full of helplessness.

On the other side, Chen Yu and Liu Ruxi had already taken the wrong path several times.

"Chen Yu, no matter how we circle this place, we can't get out; I feel like we've been turning for a long time and returned to the starting point?" Liu Ruxi's brows were slightly locked.

The place where she and Chen Yu were was strange; the surroundings were all smooth stone walls, and the cave was interconnected in all directions; no matter how they circled, they would eventually return to the starting point.

"It's fine, it's normal." Chen Yu looked at the surroundings, then took out a compass, and after determining the direction: "We go this way."
