Chapter 1097: “The Show is About to Start (2)”
Seeing the traces left from the passage of ti showing up and becoming more and more obvious upon her skin, Qu Xin Rui was getting more and more agitated. The predicant one was cornered into by the changes that ca with ti’s passing, was one thing she did not want to experience again.
Shen Chi’s brows creased together slightly and said: “I have completed the offering and its power has been fully restored. Why are you still afflicted with this condition?”
According to reason, Qu Xin Rui should now be able to retain her youthful looks that would not fade. But for so unknown reason, ever since the birthday banquet, the speed of her body’s aging had suddenly been highly accelerated, making it seem as if that the young and youthful skin on her body was slowly being peeled off bit by bit.
“You are sure that having that slut Qu Ling Yue locked up within the dungeon will not affect in any way?” Qu Xin Rui asked.
Shen Chi shook his head.
“The underground dungeon and the Heavenly Cloud Chambers are not linked directly, so that should not affect you at all.”
Qu Xin Rui gritted her teeth and said: “Once the matter with the Fire Country is confird, I will be making a trip back, to ask the Elder to help see what is happening. I have not gone back for many years and could it be that the effects from that thing is losing its efficacy on .....”
Shen Chi said: “Maybe, but it has already been quite a few days and Jun Xie still has not appeared. Are you really confident that he will accept your terms for the sake of one Spirit Beast?” Upon saying that, Shen Chi’s gaze fell upon the figure of Lord h h at the side.
Ever since that day when Lord h h had co to the Heavenly Cloud Chambers, it had just quietly laid at that spot. Not eating nor drinking, and not making a single sound. If not for the aura still emanating from the beast, one would really think that it had fallen into a deep sleep.
Qu Xin Rui had firmly believed that with Lord h h in their hands, they would be able to force Jun Xie to submit. But they have waited a few days and they had still not seen any sign of Jun Xie, which inadvertently caused her to develop a sense of unease.
“Wait a while more..... If he still doesn’t appear, I will co up with another plan.”
Shen Chi shrugged and did not say anything more.
Very soon, a guard of the Heavenly Cloud Chambers ca running over.
Qu Xin Rui was already in a foul mood and when she saw the flustered guard, she asked with a frown on her face: “Why are you being so flustered? Don’t tell you saw a ghost.”
The guard started to stamr: “Reporting to Great Aunt. Today..... The batch of people have been sent back.....”
Qu Xin Rui’s lips stiffened and she said impatiently: “So what if they have been sent back. Let those fools be happy for a few days and when the end of the month cos, just send them out again. What is there to be so flustered about?”
The monthly exchange of hostages had never been a thing she cared about.
But the guard continued to stamr: “But..... but.....”
.....
Inside the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall, Xiong Ba was suffering from a splitting headache as he sat in his room. He had consecutively drunk himself into unconsciousness the past few days and he was finding himself unable to differentiate between reality and his dreams. Everything before his eyes seed to be moving which brought about bouts of nausea.
The disciple who ca in with hangover tea just set it down and did not dare say anything but just threw Xiong Ba a worried glance before retreating out from the room.
These days, the atmosphere within the entire Fiery Blaze Clan Hall had beco extrely strange and although no one dared to bring up the incident that happened on that day, that incident had been burned and branded into their hearts, an indelible mory. Although the disciples did not know everything about the matter, but from the conversation between Jun Xie and Qu Wen Hao that day, they were able to roughly feel sothing from it.
They, the Thousand Beast City, must have done sothing that let Young Master Jun down greatly.....
“Clan Chief!” Qing Yu was panicky and highly flustered as he ca rushing into Xiong Ba’s room.
