Chapter 223 Are You Still a Human Being?

Fiona looked at Li Xiao and smiled coldly: "Now, I have told you everything through the scriptures, you can set off."

Li Xiao nodded: "Yes, I understand."

Li Xiao never thought that one day he would help the demons to kill people from the three tribes. However, after hearing what happened to Fiona, he would kill this beast even if there was no reward.

If not for anything else, just because he doesn’t like it!

………………

"City Lord! There is someone outside the palace asking to see you."

"who?"

"Jian Lin, the Lord of Taoyuan City."

Xia Xueying's eyes lit up and she immediately said, "Invite him in."

……………………

"Oh, Jianlin, your name has been extremely popular recently. Why are you suddenly in the mood to visit our Jiyu City today?"

Xia Xueying was not a fool. Of course she knew that Li Xiao would never come to Jiyu City for no reason, but she still felt lucky and hoped that Li Xiao came not for that matter.

However, Li Xiao disappointed her.

"When it was revealed that you and your husband Tuoba Wu framed Graves together, someone asked me to take Tuoba Wu's head."

Xia Xueying's body trembled suddenly.

Li Xiao continued: "Yuwentai has already told me that Tuoba Wu is not dead, so you don't need to deny it. In addition, that person only wants Tuoba Wu's head, so you'd better not seek death."

Although Xia Xueying was like a god when she killed Brother Ba and the others, she did not dare to take action against Li Xiao.

Because she knew very well that if not for Li Xiao's extraordinary ability, Yuwentai would never tell the truth. Since even Yuwentai had surrendered to Li Xiao, and her strength was less than half of Yuwentai's, what could she do with Li Xiao? Xiaopin?

Xia Xueying rolled her eyes: "Can you wait a moment?"

Li Xiao said solemnly: "Okay."

So, Xia Xueying quickly retreated into the back hall.

In an underground secret room behind the palace, there is a carved wooden couch, a small table, and several benches.

Although the furnishings are simple, they are neat.

There was a tall, thin middle-aged man on the wooden couch. He was the Tuoba Witch who was pretending to be dead. His face was tattooed with a slave mark. A palace lantern was burning on the top of the secret room, and the dim light fell on him. Curled up body.

Xia Xueying came to the secret room.

"Why did it take so long to come back? Are those newcomers who come to make trouble so difficult to deal with?" Tuoba Wu's face suddenly sank: "Or, among those newcomers, there are a few good-looking ones that you like. So, you closed the door with them and had a good time together? "

Xia Xueying said quickly: "How could it be? Without your nod, how could I dare to do that kind of thing with other men? I have already killed all those newcomers."

"Hahaha! Good kill!" Tuoba Wu was overjoyed, and then suddenly pulled Xia Xueying into his arms: "Come on! Let me have fun!"

Xia Xueying hurriedly said: "Wait."

Tuoba Wu's face sank: "What are you waiting for?"

Xia Xueying said: "Those people were killed, but another person came just now."

So, Xia Xueying told Tuoba Wu about Li Xiao's arrival.

Tuoba Wu thought for a while, snorted coldly, and then grabbed Xia Xueying's collar with his hand.

"No!" Xia Xueying frowned: "When did this happen..."

Tuoba Wu interrupted her: "Now is my happiest time, I want to enjoy it."

"But..." Xia Xueying obviously was not in this mood.

"Stop being stubborn, come on!" Tuoba Wu couldn't refuse.

Xia Xueying shouted in panic: "No, the enemy is now..."

"You don't want to?" Tuoba Wu stared with a fierce look.

Xia Xueying was immediately frightened, and a forced smile gradually appeared on her frightened face: "Of course... I am willing, but... Jian Lin is still waiting up there..."

"If he's willing to wait, just let him wait!" Tuoba Wu intercepted her words, and then peeled off her coat like a banana.

Xia Xueying sighed inwardly, lay on the bed, and calmed down...

I don’t know how long it took before the secret room finally returned to its previous tranquility.

Tuoba Wu sat up from the bed, Xia Xueying forced a smile, and then started to dress.

Her body was trembling slightly, and the pale palace lantern reflected her like a sharp blade, scraping her trembling body.

Tuoba Wu's eyes were as cold as lightning as he stared at her with a satisfied smile on his face.

"If you hadn't sacrificed yourself over the years to help me open up so many connections, I wouldn't have been able to transform from a slave to a city lord. Thank you."

Xia Xueying forced a smile: "Between husband and wife, it should be."

Tuoba Wu said: "Now, you can go and ask that Jianlin to come down."

Xia Xueying was surprised: "You want to see him?"

Tuoba Wu sneered: "Of course, maybe this is my best chance to leave here, although it may also be my last moment alive."

It was precisely because he didn't know whether she would live or die later that he was particularly diligent with Xia Xueying just now.

Xia Xueying put on her clothes and exited the secret room. Soon after, she took Li Xiao back to the secret room.

Tuoba Wu said coldly: "To make a long story short, did Fiona ask you to kill me?"

Li Xiao said: "Yes, I said you deserve to die, I don't think you will refute."

Tuoba Wu sneered: "Of course I won't refute it, but I don't want to die."

Li Xiao said: "I'm afraid it's not up to you."

Tuoba Wu said: "Don't worry, you should listen to my conditions first. I can guarantee that the price I offer is definitely much higher than Fiona's."

Li Xiao listened quietly.

Tuoba Wu said: "As long as you are willing to let me go and provide me with protection so that I can move freely on the ground, then our Jiyu City can sign a contract with your Taoyuan City. In the future, our Jiyu City will belong to you. You can enjoy everything in the city at will, including her..."

Tuoba Wu pointed at Xia Xueying.

Xia Xueying said nothing. After all, this kind of thing is not the first time, she has long been accustomed to it.

Tuoba Wu was able to turn from a slave to a master because of Xia Xueying.

Even when Fiona's father was framed, several elders of the Senate also helped them a lot. Of course, this kind of help could not be in vain.

Li Xiao looked at Tuoba Wu with contempt: "Are you still a human being?"

Tuoba Wu laughed: "Only those who are alive are qualified to be called human beings. When I was facing death on the battlefield, I chose to be a deserter because I wanted to live. Even if I was humiliated and became a slave, I would live at all costs!"

"You are still young now, of course you don't understand these things. Believe me, when you experience more things in the future, you will be like me. This world is much darker than you think. Even the Senate, which represents the highest light and justice, is filthy."

"Believe me, I will be the most useful person around you. As long as you let me go, I will definitely give you more than just Jiyu City in the future. Why do you have to give up this great opportunity for a little ridiculous justice?

Besides, Fiona is now a demon. It's very dangerous for you to help her do things."
