Chapter 97 The major I want to apply for is actually interior design

The veins on Xiao Qihao's neck bulged, and his knuckles turned white from pinching.

"You said this is a divine oracle? Ye Xiang, you have clearly been brainwashed by those lunatics!"

His voice echoed in the slave yard, but it did not cause any ripples.

His anger seemed to be just a speck of dust in the wind, receiving no attention.

Ye Xiang sneered, and the hem of his black robe swept across the ground.

"When mortals look up to gods, they always regard unknown powers as madness."

He suddenly approached, his scarlet pupils reflecting Xiao Qihao's distorted face.

"You are simply afraid to admit that you will never reach the truth in your life."

"Fuck you!"

Xiao Qihao felt that Ye Xiang was driving him crazy. He really was like a lunatic who had lost his mind. No matter what he said, it was useless.

What on earth should he do to stop Ye Xiang? How on earth did he become like this?

"Ye Xiang, wake up! What kind of arsenic did they give you to drink?"

"Qihao! You..."

The quarrel was suddenly interrupted by a sharp cry.

Xiao Qihao froze all over, and turned his head to follow the sound, only to see a slender figure stumbling towards him not far away.

The girl's left leg was obviously atrophied and deformed, and every step she took was like she was pulling her tendons.

But she clutched the silver pendant on her chest tightly, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

"Catch her!"

The black-clothed man shouted, and more than ten black shadows surrounded him like ghosts.

The leading black-clad man threw out a chain that wrapped around the girl's ankles, and dragged her heavily to the ground.

"ah!!"

The girl struggled to get up, but was pressed down on the cold marble floor.

"Let me go! Let me go!"

Another man in black took out a yellowed talisman, with a strange green light flashing from his fingertips, and was about to stick it on her forehead.

"stop!"

Xiao Qihao rushed out almost instinctively. He reached for his waist, trying to find something to protect himself.

But after searching for a long time, he finally remembered that he was now completely clean and had nothing on his body.

His steps suddenly stopped, and three dark shadows wrapped around his wrists like poisonous snakes.

The poisoned chain cut through his sleeves with a hissing sound, and the bone-piercing coldness ran straight through his meridians to his heart.

The black-clad leader held his neck with five fingers like iron pliers, and a cold smile emanated from under his black iron mask.

"My Lord has ordered you to live. Don't seek death."

Xiao Qihao struggled in vain, but when the talisman was pasted on the girl's forehead, the stubborn light suddenly went out like a candle in the wind.

The girl's limp body was roughly lifted up by the man in black, and her scattered hair fell down, covering her eyes.

Xiao Qihao growled like a trapped beast, but was almost suffocated by the chains.

"Look carefully, this is what happens when you disobey the oracle."

Ye Xiang walked behind him without knowing when, and her scarlet fingertips brushed across his tense back.

"The lives and deaths of these ants are nothing more than discarded pieces on the master's chessboard. If you dare to act rashly again—"

He suddenly grabbed his tightly clenched hand, pulled him out of the black-clothed man's hand, pulled him into his arms and whispered,

"I don't mind showing you what happens to people who are worse off than her."

Xiao Qihao looked at the gradually disappearing figures of the man in black and the girl, digging his nails deep into his palms.

Yes, he can't do anything.

He couldn't even save himself now, let alone save the girl.

The sound of chains coming from deep in the dungeon mixed with his own violent heartbeat reminded him that he was still trapped in this dark cage.

He could only swallow his resentment and let Ye Xiang drag him to continue patrolling the slave farm.

But that stubborn figure left a deeper mark in my memory.

Xiao Qihao lowered his eyes to hide the dark light surging in his eyes, and deliberately slowed down his pace as he stepped on the floor tiles inlaid with star patterns, making an inaudible muffled sound.

Ye Xiang put on a cloak embroidered with dark gold runes again.

While he was standing in front of the divine platform explaining to him, Xiao Qihao pretended to casually look at the spiritual array circulating in the dome.

Those interlaced silver veins look very confusing.

Xiao Qihao withdrew his gaze from above and rubbed his dizzy eyes.

"The spiritual resonance device here can materialize the wishes of believers."

Ye Xiang's voice was wrapped in a bewitching ending, and her fingertips stroked the suspended crystal ball.

"But you can't stare at Him for too long, that's disrespectful to God"

Xiao Qihao's Adam's apple moved slightly, and his eyes swept across the three archways on the east side, remembering the ancient totem rotating counterclockwise on the lintel.

There should be an entrance or an exit.

When passing a rock wall, he deliberately rubbed the edge of the ash and rubbed dark brown wax stains on his cuffs, which served as a mark of direction.

Ye Xiang noticed Xiao Qihao's wandering eyes and chuckled.

"You seem very interested in the structure of this place?"

Ye Xiang suddenly turned around, his scarlet pupils glowing in the shadows.

Xiao Qihao immediately bowed his head and showed humility.

"I'm just curious about such an exquisite design. I originally wanted to major in college is interior design."

Xiao Qihao scratched his face guiltily, talking nonsense while looking at Ye Xiang's strange expression.

"Yeah?"

"You believe me! Really!"

Xiao Qihao made a solemn promise, trying to cover up his guilty conscience with this self-righteous sincerity.

"But I remember you said your first choice was the police academy?"

Ye Xiang crossed her arms across her chest in amusement, her words full of disbelief.

In order to hide his embarrassment, Xiao Qihao explained to him with gestures and excitement.

"Oh no! Because my mom said being a police officer is too tiring! It would be great to be a designer and do interior design for my family's real estate company,"

"It was only later that I was more persistent and decided to apply to the police academy, really!"

He tried to blink his eyes and moved closer to Ye Xiang's face.

In fact, he was already very nervous, fearing that Ye Xiang would find out something wrong.

The two of them were deadlocked for a long time, and Ye Xiang sighed and made the first concession.

"Okay, then take your time to watch it, don't lose it"

"Great, great!"

His eyes passed unnoticed over the arches with marks on them. From behind those doors came the faint sound of mechanical gears turning.

He wanted to venture a guess that there must be some secret of the God's Messenger Platform inside.

At the end of the inspection, Xiao Qihao specifically counted the ninety-nine steps from the Divine Envoy Platform to the bottom.

The weak light of the flames shone through the cracks in the dome onto his shoulders, making the object hidden in his sleeves flicker.

While Ye Xiang wasn't paying attention, he secretly hid a small stone slab he had picked up. It was only the size of a palm, and the orientation map carved on it with his fingernails was slightly warming up with his heartbeat.

He put the small slate into his trouser pocket without leaving any trace and followed Ye Xiang's footsteps to leave.

This time, he must find a way to uncover the secret here.

We have to find a way to contact Teacher Shen and the others!

He couldn't just watch Ye Xiang make one mistake after another!

When he was about to reach the door to leave, a hunched slave suddenly fell towards him. Xiao Qihao almost cried out in shock.

"Hey, be careful..."
