Chapter 461 This is a Game

The courtyard where Linghai lives is the most magnificent. This is the courtyard where the heads of all generations have lived. Originally, there were many people guarding this place, but everyone has his own rules, so there are not many people guarding here.

Mei Die knew this, so she dared to come here. As expected, there was no one guarding the place. Moreover, it was late at night. Ling Hai must be resting in his room and would not come here.

The room was pitch black. Mei Die took advantage of the moonlight to jump in through the window, and then groped her way to the desk. She found a book in the middle of the table. She took the book away and found a silk handkerchief inside. She hurriedly took it out and held it in her hand.

At this time, the lights were on. The first person to walk in was Lingxian, followed by Linghai.

Meidie found that the palm of her hand was very painful, as if a long needle had pierced through her palm. She quickly lowered her head to look. The silk handkerchief was no longer a silk handkerchief, but had turned into a small clip, embedded in her palm. She asked, "What does this mean?"

"Then let me ask you, why did you come here to steal things?" Lingxian asked her righteously.

"I just came to get my handkerchief back." Meidie didn't understand what he meant and felt a little embarrassed. She had indeed come uninvited.

"Where did the silk handkerchief come from? Where is the silk handkerchief?" Lingxian laughed and then hooked at Meidie.

Meidie instantly felt the clamp on her palm tighten. She became more and more puzzled, then looked at Linghai and said, "I'm not here to steal anything. I'm really here to find my silk handkerchief."

Ling Hai's expression was somewhat obscure and difficult to understand. He said, "You shouldn't have come here. If you hadn't come, this wouldn't have happened."

"I have no ill intentions and I don't want to steal anything. You have to believe me." Mei Die just looked towards Ling Hai.

Lingxian said: "Then why did you come here? This is where you should be. Even if you tell the Lord of West City, it will be your fault."

"This is your plan, right?" Meidie had guessed it, but she didn't understand why Lingxian was like this. She continued, "You... you remember everything?"

"You asked for it."

"You lured me here." Mei Die was still thinking about making excuses, and thought Ling Hai could trust her.

But Linghai was like a wooden man, doing nothing, just watching quietly, as if he was hiding something and seemed ruthless.

The spirit fairy used her strength towards Meidie and said, "As punishment, I will take a piece of your soul."

Meidie fell to the ground in pain. She felt the object on her palm extending all the way to her heart chakra. She seemed to understand something and asked Lingxian, "You deliberately lured me here and tricked me into getting caught in this soul-taking clamp so you could take my soul away."

"Yours is exactly what I want, what a coincidence." Lingxian no longer hid the secret from her and added, "God is really helping me."

"Linghai, do you know that she wants to take my soul? If she takes it today, I won't live long." Meidie asked Linghai. She was in excruciating pain, her forehead was covered with sweat, and her body was shaking unconsciously, but she was still resisting. She couldn't let Lingxian succeed.

Lingxian discovered that Meidie had an intention to destroy her, and immediately stopped. She said, "Meidi, why do you have to be so stubborn? This is your fate."

"What does it have to do with you if I destroy myself? Why should I let you get away with it?" Meidie scolded Lingxian angrily.

It was naturally difficult for Linghai to give up, and it was difficult for him to make a choice. He did not want to hurt Meidie, but only her soul could heal Lingxian.

Lingxian looked towards Linghai and asked him, "What are you doing standing there? Why aren't you helping me?"

Ling Hai took a deep breath and thought about it again, but he still couldn't say it. Seeing Mei Die lying on the ground in unbearable pain was also torture. He said to Ling Xian: "Let's think of another way."

"I can't think of any other way, so this is the only trick. Besides, she came here willingly. She wanted to steal your things, so it doesn't make sense for us to use this as a punishment. Xicheng also has to be reasonable." Lingxian's eyes widened. She couldn't let Meidie go, so she began to use her strength on her again.

Meidie screamed in pain, but still struggled hard.

Linghai interrupted Lingxian and said, "Stop it."

"So, you want to see me die?" Lingxian asked him back.

Ling Hai immediately replied: "Of course I don't want you to die."

"If my soul doesn't return to its place, I will die. It's only a matter of time." Lingxian had to remind Linghai. She didn't expect Linghai to hesitate, just for such a vulgar woman. Jealousy flared in her heart, and she gritted her teeth and said, "You'd better understand. Today, either she dies or I die. You choose one."

Linghai couldn't make a choice. He went to see Meidie and found that her face was pale and her eyes were red. He felt inexplicably sorry for her, so he went to see Lingxian again.

Lingxian is his sister and his beloved, so naturally he doesn't want her to die.

Linghai walked up to Lingxian and pulled up her sleeve, intending to think of another way.

But Meidie thought he had made his choice and said, "Linghai, I will fulfill your wish, and yours." Then she struggled to get up from the ground, pulled out the soul-retrieving clamp on her palm with one hand, and then placed it on her heart chakra and pulled it out.

"Meidi! Stop it!" Linghai almost blurted out, leaving Lingxian to look at Meidie.

Meidie didn't let him get close, so she tied a barrier around herself and floated out with the soul into Lingxian's hand, saying, "Please keep the things. I'll be back soon." Then she staggered out of the house.

Ling Hai wanted to chase her out but was stopped by Ling Xian. She said, "Don't worry about her. Let her go. As long as she leaves our territory, we can let her go wherever she wants. If she dies outside, it's not our business."

Ling Hai tried to snatch the soul from Ling Xian's hand, but she dodged him. He asked in surprise, "What are you doing? She gave it to me willingly, and you actually want to take it back? Don't you want me to live?"

"That's her thing. I can't let her life be exchanged for yours." Ling Hai only blamed himself for only coming to his senses now. Why was he hesitant just now? This caused Mei Die to take her own soul. From the moment she took it out, he made a complete decision.

Lingxian was shocked and quickly collected the soul. He asked again, "What are you talking about?"

"You should pay the price for what you have done and should not implicate innocent people." Ling Hai was going to snatch the soul from Ling Xian's hand again.

Lingxian was sure that he was not joking, so he quickly let the soul enter his body and then jumped out of the house.

Ling Hai followed him out and said, "Ling Xian, I was wrong. I was really wrong."

"It's too late. She can't survive." Lingxian laughed and said, "You are not in love with her, are you? Hahaha, it's too late."

Ling Hai stood there without saying a word. He made a boundary knot, first keeping Ling Xianyin here, and then flew out to find Mei Die.

Mei Die ran out of the city in one breath. She wanted to go back to West City to find An Yan. Even if she was going to die, she wanted to die in West City. At least someone would collect her body. She used her last bit of willpower to transform into a butterfly, telling her to go back quickly to report the news.

Without a soul, she was incomplete. Everything she did felt incredibly difficult. Furthermore, Meidie was overcome with grief. She had never longed for Linghai to like her, but he was too heartless. He had been so kind to her the other day, only to find he was taking her soul for his beloved.

At this time, Ling Hai's voice came: "Meidi, where are you, Meidie?"

Mei Die was very panicked. She thought Ling Hai was coming to capture her and would not even give her half her life, so she hid in the bushes and dared not say a word. Fortunately, her breath was weak at the moment and it was not easy for anyone to notice her.
