Chapter 372 A Candy

The captives' faces turned pale. They stood up under the scorpion people's pushing and urging, and lined up in a row, fearing the coming torture.

The monks of Tianxin Sect took the initiative to talk to Ye Xiaoman, reminding her to think of a solution quickly. This was because they couldn't think of a way to escape, so they wanted to get more people to think together.

Buhui's snake-people parents ran to beg the guards not to take Buhui with them. They were kicked and beaten roughly and sent back to the team. They hugged their child and cried in despair.

Ye Xiaoman, Jiaying and Yue Mushan also stood up immediately. Ye Xiaoman was very upset. Under normal circumstances, she would act according to the circumstances and never take risks. But at that moment, she had completely lost her patience and just wanted to solve the problem immediately and regain her freedom.

She took advantage of the crowd in front to explain her plan.

"Master Jiaying, let's find a way to meet with the boss, and then you can use force to subdue him and seize the ship's deed here."

"With the ship deed in hand, we will be the masters of this place, and all our survival crises will be resolved."

In the world of cultivating immortals, no overt or conspiracies are as practical as direct suppression with force.

Ye Xiaoman has a golden thigh to rely on, so naturally she wants to maximize Jiaying's military advantage.

Jiaying put the Buddhist beads on his wrist and said, "Yes."

After the Scorpion people counted the number of people, they escorted the prisoners out of the pit.

Ye Xiaoman immediately stepped out of the group and said, "Brothers, I need to see the boss. Please inform him."

The Scorpion Man's younger brother had personally witnessed her kill someone at the scene of the arrest. With one strike, the person's soul flew away. He stayed away from her fearfully, "You'll see it soon. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"No, no, no. What I want is a private one-on-one talk, where I can present a treasure to the boss." Ye Xiaoman pulled Jiaying's sleeve, trying to drag him out of the team, but Jiaying didn't move.

Ye Xiaoman winked at him hurriedly, and Jiaying met her smiling almond eyes, three parts flattery and seven parts ingratiation, before he slowly moved.

Facing the Scorpion Man's suspicious gaze, Ye Xiaoman introduced it with dancing hands, "Ting, ting, ting, this is the treasure I want to present to the Holy Son of Yongning Temple."

"What!" The Tianxin Sect monks standing in front of Ye Xiaoman shouted.

Jiaying was a man of great intelligence. As soon as he showed up, the monks of Tianxin Sect regarded him as a master. In order to get close to him, they specifically talked to Ye Xiaoman, who seemed to be the most talkative person in the team.

They didn't recognize Jiaying at first.

Jiaying has a high status and even the emperor of the dynasty rarely sees him, let alone ordinary disciples of immortal cultivation sects. Most people only vaguely know what Jiaying looks like through his portraits.

In addition, they were thrown into a black prison a year ago, so naturally they didn't know the gossip about Jiaying returning to secular life. Since Jiaying had long hair, they stopped making any associations and just felt that Jiaying looked familiar.

Now that Ye Xiaoman had revealed the truth, the effect was simply earth-shattering, as if a figure in a history book or a mythical idol suddenly appeared before her eyes.

Among the prisoners, those who had a little common sense all became agitated.

The Scorpion Man's younger brother was also shocked and frightened, "What evidence do you have... to prove that he is the Son of God!"

"That's right, everyone knows that the Holy Son is a monk and doesn't have long hair."

"I have proof." Ye Xiaoman smiled at Jiaying, "Sir, show them your token."

The token that Jiaying gave her was taken back by Jiaying. She was left empty-handed and had to ask Jiaying for it.

Jiaying stood solemnly like a flower on a high mountain, without making any movement.

Ye Xiaoman understood his body language very well. For some reason, he was in a bad mood and had a bad temper. He went on strike without any interest. He did not object to her arrangements, but he did not actively cooperate either.

Ye Xiaoman took direct action.

She first touched Jiaying's belt, and then touched his abdomen horizontally from the side of Jiaying's waist.

The moment Jiaying was touched by her, his body shuddered instinctively, like a butterfly suddenly flapping its wings under her palm, making her heart itch.

There was nothing under the belt, so she changed her hand and put it into Jiaying's collar, touching his muscles. Jiaying's jaw line was tense, but he still endured her rudeness silently.

Yue Mushan stood aside and watched, and suddenly said, "Sister, come and find me."

Yue Mushan felt uncomfortable. He inexplicably felt that Jiaying did it on purpose. Although Jiaying had a chaste and abstinent expression on his face throughout the whole process, Jiaying was just being naughty at this time, wasn't he just deliberately letting people touch him?

“Found it!”

In full view of everyone, Ye Xiaoman nimbly placed her fingers on the back of Jiaying's hand, reached under his sleeve, pulled out a snow-white tassel, and brought out a jade pendant.

Ye Xiaoman threw the Holy Son's token to the Scorpion Man's younger brother and said, "Show it to your boss. He will know that what I said is true."

The value of Jiaying is like the flesh of Tang Monk in Journey to the West to the monsters. It is a huge temptation. The younger brother took the jade pendant and ran to report the news. The captives were temporarily saved.

The Tianxin sect monks changed their arrogant attitude towards Ye Xiaoman and looked at them with a mixture of respect and awe. Even the little girl Buhui, because of the adults' attitude, stared at Ye Xiaoman and Jiaying with eyes as big as black grapes and curiosity.

Ye Xiaoman cried out "Ouch" and raised Jiaying's finger. There was a cut on the fingertip and blood was oozing out.

"The tassel of the jade pendant is too sharp and it cut your hand."

After she finished speaking, she took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the blood off Jiaying's fingers.

Jiaying lowered his head and looked at Ye Xiaoman's movements. He was surrounded by spiritual energy, and the wound between his fingers was sudden.

Ye Xiaoman's eyes were clear and her appearance was harmless and sincere, as if it was really an unintentional act on her part.

Jiaying pulled his fingers out of her handkerchief, activated his spiritual power, and the small wound healed quickly.

In the meantime, the Scorpion Man's younger brother who had gone to report the news returned with a cautious expression, "The boss wants to see the Holy Son. You all should follow me."

Everything went as planned.

Ye Xiaoman walked in front with a swagger, vividly demonstrating what it meant to be a fox borrowing the power of a tiger to bully others. Jiaying and Yue Mushan followed behind her on the left and right, and the three of them walked out of the pit.

When passing by Buhui, the child secretly put something into her palm and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, sister."

Ye Xiaoman took a look and saw that it was a crudely made candy.

Bu Hui snuggled in her parents' arms and timidly encouraged Ye Xiaoman. She knew Ye Xiaoman was going to save everyone. "My dad made this candy to boost your courage."

Ye Xiaoman smiled as she peeled the candy and ate it, then turned back and winked at her to reassure her.

The boss lived in a large dug-out earthen cave. Scorpions like to live in cool and shady wastelands.

Countless shadow puppets made of human skin were hung on the four earthen walls. Walking among them, the smell of blood was overwhelming. Those shadow puppets seemed to be endowed with life and whispered to the visitors.

The chief stood before his work table, which was piled high with tools, and was tanning a freshly peeled human skin.

It is also a scorpion monk with a horse face and white beard, and a string of human heads hanging around its neck.
