Luo Yang pondered over the situation and realized he could only grit his teeth and endure.
There were no other options available.
"Madam Teng, listen to . I know about the grudges between Skull Fortress and Shi Sheng Palace. If I tead up with Shi Sheng Palace against you, I’d be asking for my own doom. Would I dare do such a thing?" Luo Yang said.
"You eat!" Lord Bao commanded in a stern tone.
Luo Yang took the Master Servant Pill, feeling a multitude of curses run through his mind.
If he didn’t eat it, Lord Bao would be even more suspicious.
Fortunately, there was an antidote; consuming the Magical Pond Water could neutralize the pill’s effect.
However, as he ntioned earlier, there was only one pill. Taking out a second one would be deceiving Lord Bao again.
The situation was becoming increasingly difficult.
"Madam Teng, if I eat it, and then have to ask Aunt Thirteen for it again, that wouldn’t be right, would it?" Luo Yang said.
"You don’t dare eat?!" Lord Bao’s gaze turned colder.
As the leader of Skull Fortress, Lord Bao was highly vigilant.
If it were poison, Lord Bao might also succumb.
For safety, Lord Bao wouldn’t eat the pill easily.
Moreover, according to the intel from Lord Bao’s spies, Luo Yang had little contact with people from Shi Sheng Palace, but had been seen with Hua XiYi from Jiuyang Hall.
Just this circumstance was enough to make Lord Bao suspicious of Luo Yang.
"Madam Teng, I will eat it. But I need to make sothing clear. This pill originally had an effect on you. Now that I’ve eaten it, if it’s not poison, you must keep your promise." Luo Yang said.
The condition agreed upon with Lord Bao was that Luo Yang would help her return to her original state, and Lord Bao would release Shuiyue and Jinghua.
Lord Bao said coldly, "If you accomplish it, I will also fulfill your request!"
Luo Yang said, "I had a hard ti obtaining this pill from Shi Sheng Palace. If you don’t want it, aren’t you wasting an opportunity? I might not be able to get such a pill from Aunt Thirteen next ti."
Just then, Luo Yang’s phone rang.
"Only you can take to Journey to the West..."
Taking out his phone, he saw it was a call from Hua XiYi, which didn’t surprise him.
He originally didn’t want to answer, but it kept ringing, so ignoring it wasn’t an option.
Turning off the phone would be inappropriate, especially if Lord Bao saw it and thought Luo Yang was hiding sothing from her.
Before answering, Luo Yang said, "Madam Teng, Xiao Xiao Niu is calling . I’ll listen to what she’s saying."
He was implying that Lord Bao should remain silent.
Should Hua XiYi find out Luo Yang was with Lord Bao of Skull Fortress, the consequences would be severe.
Upon answering, Hua XiYi said, "Hehe, where did those two go?"
Luo Yang curiously asked, "Who?"
After hearing it was Hong Jiaxin and Zhu Zishan, Luo Yang couldn’t explain.
"Hehe, they’re not in their hotel room!" Hua XiYi said.
"Did you try calling them?" Luo Yang asked.
Hua XiYi said she had, but Zhu Zishan and Hong Jiaxin hadn’t answered.
"I’ll try calling."
Luo Yang had previously reminded Zhu Zishan and Hong Jiaxin not to answer calls from Hua XiYi and others.
He dialed right away, and since Lord Bao was next to him, he had to pretend and ask a few questions.
After ending the call, he imdiately called Hua XiYi, saying, "Sister Hua, it turns out they went ho."
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end before Hua XiYi said, "Hehe! You sent them ho? Where are you now?"
Luo Yang didn’t dare tell the truth.
"I’m at a friend’s place, heading to you now. We’ll talk when we et." Luo Yang said.
"Hehe! Shall I co to pick you up?" Hua XiYi eagerly asked.
She probably guessed Luo Yang had gone ho.
"No need, Sister Hua, my friend is dropping off." Luo Yang said.
"Hehe! Where are you exactly?" Hua XiYi asked again.
In such a situation, Luo Yang had to resort to so tricks.
"Sister Hua, my phone’s out of battery, I need to charge it." Luo Yang said.
"Hehe! You dare cut off..."
But before Hua XiYi finished speaking, Luo Yang hung up.
At the sa ti, he turned off his phone.
Watching from the side, Lord Bao let out a cold laugh.
"Madam Teng, don’t worry about her, let’s continue our serious conversation." Luo Yang said awkwardly.
"You’re mine! The Blood Devil is also mine!" Lord Bao said with a sinister laugh.
Hearing Lord Bao’s crow-like laughter, Luo Yang felt a chill run down his spine.
"Madam Teng, you should eat it. Don’t waste it." Luo Yang handed the Master Servant Pill back.
"You eat!" Lord Bao ordered.
It seed, if Luo Yang didn’t eat it, it would be as if he wanted to poison her.
Luo Yang said, "Madam Teng, I said that I’d help restore you within a day. If you don’t eat this pill, I won’t be able to complete the task in a day."
Lord Bao coldly said, "I’ll allow an extension!"
If he ate the Master Servant Pill, though nothing would happen, he’d still have to pretend to go ask Aunt Thirteen for a pill, which was troubleso.
"Madam Teng, think this through. I’m going to eat it." Luo Yang said.
Lord Bao stared at Luo Yang without blinking, clearly wanting him to eat it.
Under these circumstances, Luo Yang had no choice but to open his mouth and swallow the Master Servant Pill.
"I’m a bit nervous, need to use the restroom." Luo Yang said.
Leaving Lord Bao, Luo Yang secretly drank a cup of Magical Pond Water.
Returning to the side of Lord Bao’s bed, Luo Yang said, "Madam Teng, did you see? It’s not poison at all? I negotiated with Aunt Thirteen to get you the antidote, this securing your trust, and then bringing Shi Sheng Palace’s people to attack you. Now it’s done, I ate the antidote."
Lord Bao clearly felt so regret, thinking the chance of it being poison was higher earlier.
Seeing now that Luo Yang was fine after eating it, Lord Bao coldly stated, "I don’t care! You must ask her for another pill!"
Luo Yang spread his hands and said, "Madam Teng, how am I supposed to explain that to Aunt Thirteen?"
Lord Bao said blandly, "That’s your problem!"
Tonight, not returning to Hongyun Brigade, he would still have to face Hua XiYi.
Tomorrow, he would likely have no chance to leave; Hua XiYi would watch Luo Yang closely, preventing him from leaving Tianjiang City.
Without Luo Yang’s help, Hua XiYi would also find it difficult to locate the Blood Devil.
"Madam Teng, how about this? You hand Sister Yue and Sister Jing to , I’ll take them to see Aunt Thirteen and say I rescued them with important information for her, saying you’re planning sothing against Shi Sheng Palace. Then I’ll say I didn’t have the pill for you because I lost it, and request Aunt Thirteen for another one. How does that sound?"
Lord Bao contemplated after hearing Luo Yang’s words.
If she could return to her forr self, Lord Bao would be willing to pay any price.
Yet now, she could still get Luo Yang to work because she held Shuiyue and Jinghua.
Once Shuiyue and Jinghua were gone, Luo Yang would stop helping Lord Bao.
"You’re playing with ?!" Lord Bao angrily shouted.
"Madam Teng, would I dare play tricks on you? If you don’t agree, I’ll go alone, but I’m not very confident I can get another pill." Luo Yang said.
Before coming, he vaguely sensed it wouldn’t be easy to fool Lord Bao.
Without rescuing Shuiyue and Jinghua, Luo Yang didn’t have the heart to abandon them and return alone to Hongyun Brigade.
