Xu Shu removed a high heel wrapped in a stocking from his waist, inside, was the Black Widow Curse Seal.
Such a precious object, naturally he carried it with him at all tis, never leaving it behind.
“You an this?” Xu Shu asked.
Gu Qian nodded firmly, “Yes, I saw you asking about it yesterday, don’t you want to know its purpose?
I can tell you, but you have to agree to one condition.”
“It seems you know quite a lot,” Xu Shu glanced at him.
Gu Qian coldly said, “Well, I certainly know more than you commoners who couldn’t pass the first round of selection by the Supervision Bureau, so what do you say?”
Xu Shu stroked his chin, thinking that although he only knew this thing was called a Curse Seal, he indeed was unclear about its specific use.
If this Gu Qian could provide valid information, then it wasn’t out of the question to have a chat with him.
“First tell your condition; if it’s about letting you out, then forget it,” Xu Shu said— he wasn’t inclined to put himself in danger.
Gu Qian licked his lips and slowly said, “I know that.
My condition is actually very simple for you; I demand food, and you must supply adequately, at least two als a day.”
“One al a day is too little; it’s not enough for ,” he said, glancing sheepishly toward the first floor in front of him, showing a rare hint of embarrassnt.
“You’re such a small guy but have a big appetite, um…”
Xu Shu was taken aback.
Had he misunderstood sothing?
Should he tell him the truth?
He didn’t intentionally forget before; he had no desire to starve them to death.
After thinking it over, Xu Shu chose to hide the truth, replying in a low voice, “Okay, I agree, now tell .”
A strange gleam flashed in Gu Qian’s eyes, “So quick?
You aren’t planning to go back on your word after I tell you, and then deny everything, are you?”
“Do I seem like that kind of person?
I am a good person,” Xu Shu muttered to himself; he was clearly a good person, so why did no one believe it?
“Heh…
good person.”
Gu Qian remained noncommittal, his eyes rolling around; his gaze rested on Xu Shu for a while then shifted to the Black Widow Curse Seal, seemingly lost in thought.
“Hurry up and tell ,” Xu Shu was growing impatient.
“Alright, this thing is called a Curse Seal, the source of a Transcendent’s power, and it’s also one of the three essential conditions to beco a Transcendent,” Gu Qian explained.
As expected…
A gleam of joy flashed in Xu Shu’s eyes as he asked impulsively, “What are the other two conditions?
How do I use it to beco a Transcendent?”
Gu Qian stared at him for a mont and said, “That is another price.”
Xu Shu: “Hmm?”
“Heh, I can’t guarantee you will keep your promise, and if you renege, I can’t ensure my own safety,” Gu Qian said.
“You do have a point, how can you tell then?” Xu Shu scratched his head.
This guy was whetting his appetite and deliberately mystifying; it was very frustrating.
Gu Qian, however, let out a hint of a smile, whispering, “You want to know?”
Xu Shu replied, “I won’t lie, I really do.”
“If you want to know, bring a midnight snack tonight, a serving of instant noodles, two cans of fruit, and a can of at.
I know they’re in the warehouse.
You get that for , and I’ll tell you what the second condition is.
Now, you can leave.”
Gu Qian spoke with a light tone, sitting on his bed, giving off a vibe that he had Xu Shu completely under his control.
Xu Shu’s mouth twitched.
It’s not that he couldn’t do it; it was just that being led by the nose was very annoying to him.
It even made him feel like he was about to be one of the Four Friends of i Manor who was deceived by Ren Woxing.
So, irritated, he slapped the window fra, looked at Gu Qian, and said seriously, “I advise you to recognize the situation clearly; I am the master of this prison now.
If you don’t want to suffer through a lack of food and water, you’d better speak clearly right now.”
Gu Qian opened his eyes and chuckled, “You wouldn’t let die.”
Xu Shu narrowed his eyes, “And why not?”
“Because I hold the secret for you to beco a Transcendent, and you…
you really want to be a Transcendent, don’t you?
Heh, in fact, there are quite a few like you, who are not satisfied with their ordinariness and run out from the safe zones in search of so-called fortunes.”
Gu Qian spoke leisurely, idly flicking his fingernails, and continued, “You don’t need to deny it.
Your temperant is different from the Wasteland Wanderers; I can tell.
“You really are quite lucky, getting a Curse Seal.
“Too bad you don’t know how to use it, huh?
I bet you’ve even tried the blood bond, right?
Failed, didn’t you?
Kikiki.
“So, I suggest you’d better listen to my arrangent.
I’m not being too excessive; I’m not making you release right now, am I?
“Listen to , and I will tell you how to beco a Transcendent!
Don’t you want to transcend?”
Gu Qian watched Xu Shu’s eyes aggressively,
seemingly wanting to see a panicked emotion in them after having his inner thoughts exposed.
Unfortunately for him, Xu Shu was calm, showing neither rage nor objection, which sowhat disappointed Gu Qian.
Xu Shu just smacked his lips and said, “You’re pretty smart.”
Don’t say it!
Really, don’t say it!
He even guessed right about the secret blood-binding!
This guy was pretty sharp!
“Thanks, I know I am, so now you can leave.
I’ll be hungry at midnight; rember to bring food.
Don’t be late!”
Gu Qian’s mouth cornered twitched imperceptibly, already confident in his plan.
This young man, though it was unclear how, had sohow managed to kill the Black Widow.
