Song Xi was slightly startled. The voice was a woman's voice, and it sounded strangely sweet, but the monster's appearance was too...
It wasn't that she was being speciesist; it was just that the monster wasn't the kind of terrifying monster that was scary, but rather the kind that made people feel disgusted—it could spin webs, spit silk, and was sticky and gooey.
"Yes, that's me. You and your companion, is there something you need from me?"
Song Xiwei was quite impressed with herself; at this critical moment, she was actually able to calmly start a conversation with the other party.
Perhaps unaware of the malice emanating from the other party, her tone was completely relaxed, even carrying a teasing tone.
"Immortal Song, I am truly flattered that you would speak to me so readily..." The monster's voice was incredibly sweet, even Song Xiwei, who was disguised as a man, found it too sweet, and listeners almost forgot that her true form was like that.
Song Xiwei composed herself and asked seriously, "Did your master want to see me about something?"
When the monster was asked about its master, it replied respectfully, "My master wants to catch up with you."
"Oh, such a big fuss, just for catching up?" Song Xiwei originally wanted to find out something, but the monster didn't seem like it would reveal anything.
"Master, we've been looking for you for a long time," the monster said.
"..." Song Xiwei felt a little uneasy.
He's been looking for me for so long! It seems he still holds a grudge about how I crippled his cultivation back then!
"Did your master instruct you to bring me to him unharmed?" Song Xiwei asked, realizing something.
The monster answered all questions: "Yes, Immortal Song, you are the host's honored guest, and we cannot neglect you."
"If I don't go with you, will you force me?" Song Xiwei asked.
The monster fell into thought, probably communicating with her master.
After a while, the monster replied, "Our master instructed us to take you to see him no matter what, but he also instructed us not to hurt you. So, don't worry, we will take you back to see our master very gently."
Song Xiwei thought about it for a while, but couldn't understand why Ze Lin would go to so much trouble. Perhaps it was because Ze Lin hated her so much that he had to take revenge himself to avenge her, which was why he made sure she was unharmed when he went to see him!
Thinking about it this way, compared to Aoqian, Zelin is clearly a wolf in sheep's clothing, just like back then, unchanged. He appears harmless on the surface, but is actually treacherous and vicious behind the scenes.
In comparison, although Ao Qian is also a cunning and ruthless character, at least he is not as hopeless as Ze Lin, so Ao Qian is much more pleasing to the eye.
Having probably figured out Ze Lin's thoughts, Song Xiwei began to negotiate with the monster, "I can go back with you to see your master, but not now. Ask your master if he can give me some time. I've run into a little trouble and need to deal with it."
The monster communicated with her master again, and after a while, the monster said to Song Xiwei, "My master said she can give you time, but in order to take you back to see her as soon as possible, she suggested that we can help you solve your troubles."
Upon hearing this, Song Xiwei was overjoyed.
She originally intended to take the opportunity to sow discord and incite a fight between the two sides.
Unexpectedly, these monsters actually stepped in to help me solve my problem.
I wonder how Ze Lin will react when he finds out that the monster he raised and his other subordinates have both been severely injured. It should be quite exciting!
"Alright, you can thank your master for me. In the end, I'll have to trouble you to help me resolve those troubles; they're the ones who want to kill me!"
Song Xiwei, acting as if she were weak and needed to cling to a powerful figure, hid behind the monster and pointed at another group of enemies.
