Seeing the signs of age becoming more and more obvious on her skin, the frustration in Qu Xin Rui's heart grew stronger and stronger. She did not want to experience that kind of predicament again.
Shen Chi's brows creased up slightly as well. "I have already made the sacrifice and that thing's power has fully recovered. How did you end up in such a situation?"
Logically speaking, Qu Xin Rui should have been able to retain her youthful looks without fading. But for some unknown reason, ever since that birthday banquet, her body had aged at a very rapid rate, as if the layer of skin that belonged to a young lady upon her body, was being peeled off bit by bit by someone.
"Are you sure that locking that slut Qu Ling Yue up in the dungeon will not affect me?" Qu Xin Rui asked.
Shen Chi shook his head.
"The dungeon is not too connected to the Heavenly Cloud Chambers, so it should not affect you."
Qu Xin Rui said through gritted teeth. "After the matter with the Fire Country is settled, I will need to go back and ask the Elder to help me see what is going on. I have not been back for many years, could it be that that thing's effect on me has weakened ….."
Shen Chi replied: "Perhaps. But it has already been a few days and Jun Xie has still not appeared. Are you really confident that he will accept your suggestion just for a Spirit Beast?" Upon saying that, Shen Chi's gaze fell upon Lord Meh Meh at the side.
Ever since the day Lord Meh Meh came to the Heavenly Cloud Chambers, it had been lying there quietly, not eating or drinking, not making a single sound. If not for the fact that its presence still lingered, people would really think that it had fallen into a deep slumber.
Qu Xin Rui had been confident that with Lord Meh Meh in her hands, she would be able to force Jun Xie to submit. But after waiting for several days and not seeing any sign of Jun Xie, a feeling of unease grew in her heart.
"Wait a little longer ….. If he still does not appear, I will try to think of another way."
Shen Chi shrugged his shoulders and did not say anything more.
Very soon, a Heavenly Cloud Chambers guard came rushing in.
Qu Xin Rui was already in a bad mood and she frowned as she looked at the panicking guard and said: "Why are you in such a panic? Have you seen a ghost?"
The guard said in a trembling voice: "Reporting to Great Grandaunt, today ….. that batch of people were sent back ….."
Qu Xin Rui pursed her lips and said impatiently: "So what if they're sent back? Let's just let those idiots enjoy themselves for a few more days and we'll just bring them back at the end of the month. What's there to be so flustered about?"
She couldn't care less about the monthly change of hostages.
But the guard said, "But … but …"
…
Inside the Raging Blaze Hall, Tyrant Bear was sitting in his room with a splitting headache. He had been hungover for several days in a row, making him almost unable to distinguish between reality and dreams. All the scenery in front of him seemed to be constantly swaying, making him feel sick.
The disciple who came to deliver the hangover tea put down the things and didn't dare to say anything. He just glanced worriedly at Xiong Ba before leaving the room.
Over the past few days, the atmosphere in the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall had been highly strange. Although no one brought up the incident that had happened that day, but that incident had left an indelible mark upon the hearts of every single one of them. Although the disciples did not know the whole story, but from the conversation between Jun Xie and Qu Wen Hao that day, they could faintly sense something.
The Thousand Beast City must have done something to let that Young Master Jun down …..
"Hall Chief!" Qing Yu's face was filled with panic as he rushed into Xiong Ba's room.
