Chapter 230 One Life for Another
Shanshan glanced at Xie Yujiao and said, "It's not that simple."
If Xie Yao was so easy to kill, she would have killed her thousands of times. Xie Yao invited her, but Xiao Ji would never let Xie Yao meet her alone.
I don’t know how many people will be around me.
But... she is not afraid.
Shan Shan raised the corners of her lips and said, "You don't understand."
"She'll beg me."
Xie Yujiao really didn’t understand. Although Shanshan had saved her, there were many things that Shanshan had not told her.
She couldn't imagine why Xie Yao would ask Shanshan for help.
But a sharp light flashed in Xie Yujiao's eyes, and she spoke very straightforwardly, "But Xie Yao has a vicious mind. She was the one who plotted for me to marry into the Song family and brought me to this point..."
"What does it have to do with me?" Shanshan asked back.
Xie Yujiao was stunned for a moment.
Shan Shan said: "I cooperated with you only to deal with Xie Yao. Now she has come to me in person..."
Shanshan looked at Xie Yujiao, "What's the value?"
Xie Yujiao was completely stunned.
Shan Shan sneered, threw the letter out of the wall, and said loudly: "Tomorrow at noon, at the place where we first met, ask her to wait for me."
The next day.
Xie Yao arrived as scheduled. She had been sitting in the box for a cup of tea when she heard rustling sounds inside and outside the room.
Xie Yao was calm and composed, knowing clearly: Shanshan was here.
The rustling sound lasted for a long time, and Xie Yao did not make any other move before the door of the box was pushed open.
Shanshan walked in, frowning slightly, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Xie Yao turned to look at her, her eyebrows raised slightly, "Can you?"
"Humph." Shan Shan snorted coldly, a fierce light flashed in her sharp eyes, "Do you think I dare not?"
"It's not that I don't dare, it's that there's no need." Xie Yao said, "You're not a fool who's alone. If you kill me, you should know what will happen to you and your people."
A fierce look flashed in Shanshan's eyes, "Are you threatening me?"
She hated being threatened the most in her life!
"This is a simple numerology question." Xie Yao looked at Shan Shan with calm eyes, "You have been on the run for the past few months, so perhaps you didn't get some news in time."
"Do you know about the Shu Earth Dragon's rebellion a while ago?"
Xie Yao has learned from Si Bei that Shanshan is from Shu.
Shanshan was stunned for a moment, then said disdainfully, "So what?" Her tribe is good at controlling poison, and insects are often more sensitive to natural disasters like this.
She believed that the tribe would not suffer heavy losses from such a disaster.
Xie Yao said: "No one from your tribe was hurt."
Shanshan's smile was filled with complacency and pride; this was the strength of her tribe.
Xie Yao continued, "This time the earth dragon's reversal was predicted in advance, and before the disaster came, Si Bei sent a message to your tribe to take shelter."
Shanshan frowned.
Then he sneered disdainfully, "You don't think you can move me by saying this? How can a dignified Crown Princess be so naive?"
Shan Shan raised her chin slightly and said proudly: "Even without you, my tribe will be fine!"
Xie Yao did not have any violent emotional fluctuations because of this, and only said: "Whether your tribe has such ability or not, as long as His Highness knows the existence of this village, it will not be allowed to get into trouble."
"Because the people in the village are all citizens of Daxia."
Shanshan was unhappy. "What exactly do you want to say? If that's all you want to say..."
"I have only one goal." Xie Yao looked at her, "You know."
Shanshan smiled.
She picked up the teacup on the table and started playing with it, her bright smile full of confidence.
She knew that Xie Yao would beg her.
This was known from the moment she was discovered by Si Bei, but he deliberately spared her life.
"I know." Her voice was nonchalant. "Why? Do you agree to let me marry Xiao Ji now?"
Xie Yao shook her head.
Shanshan's smile faded, and her eyes were unfriendly, "Are you kidding me?"
"Except for this request." Xie Yao was not afraid at all.
Shanshan frowned, "That's the only request."
"Even if Your Highness and I have a mutual understanding, I will never look at you more than once in this life?" Xie Yao asked.
Shan Shan sneered, "This is my business, you don't need to worry about it."
"In the future you will find that he and I are a perfect match. Only I can save him, and it is his destiny to fall in love with me."
"As for you, you are just a despicable thief who briefly enjoyed the happiness that belongs to me."
Very confident.
Xie Yao looked at Shan Shan and said, "It must be a poisonous insect."
Shan Shan pursed her lips, her expression slightly stiff, and looked at Xie Yao with vigilance and suspicion in her eyes, as if questioning how she knew.
Even though Shanshan was only stiff for a moment, Xie Yao got a positive answer in her heart.
"Since you mentioned fate, does that mean that there is a kind of poisonous insect that can save His Highness, but once the insect enters his body, he will... fall in love with you?" Xie Yao guessed.
"Yes." Shan Shan raised the corner of her lips, "So, do you still want to save Xiao Ji?"
Xie Yao smiled, "You are lying to me."
Shan Shan: “???”
"If it's really that simple, why do you have to go to all that trouble? You can just trick him into giving the poisonous insect to His Highness as an antidote."
"So, there must be other restrictions." Xie Yao said firmly.
Xie Yao's eyes were clear and bright, as if she had seen through everything.
Shanshan's expression changed in an instant, but Xie Yao caught it accurately. The corners of her lips curled up, "I was right."
Shanshan laughed angrily.
She was quite desperate and simply said, "Well, even if you are right about everything, so what?"
"That's my condition. If you have the guts, kill me." She said confidently, "No one else in this world can save Xiao Ji except me."
"If you kill me, I will think he died for me."
Shan Shan grinned, looking at Xie Yao with provocation in her eyes, "Do you dare?"
"Xie Yao." Shan Shan said confidently: "Si Bei can kill me, but he lets me go repeatedly... Don't you understand what Xiao Ji means?"
He said he wanted to kill her, but in the end he let her go?
No matter how important a woman is, can she be more important than life?
Who wants to die when you can live?
Xie Yao was silent for a moment, then said, "You may not believe me, but I want to let you go."
Shan Shan wanted to laugh, but when she saw Xie Yao's expression, she couldn't.
Her sixth sense told her...Xie Yao might be telling the truth, but...
Shan Shan stared at Xie Yao with sinister eyes. Looking at her beautiful face, she could no longer suppress the jealousy in her heart. "Are you here to show off to me?"
"Xie Yao, does Xiao Ji know that you are so scheming and deep-minded?"
Xie Yao: “…” His defense was broken.
She pursed her lips and said nothing, but answered in her heart, "I'm afraid His Highness really knows about this matter."
Even if she had disguised herself in front of His Highness at first, His Highness should have seen through her disguise long ago.
The corners of her lips raised high, as if she had thought of something very interesting, and she looked at Xie Yao and said, "If you want me to save Xiao Ji, then go and die."
"As long as you die, I will be willing to save Xiao Ji and I don't have to marry him."
"Only one of you and him can survive. The choice is yours. Xie Yao, what will you choose?"
Shanshan was in a very good mood, picked up the teacup and took a sip, waiting leisurely for Xie Yao's answer.
No matter what choice Xie Yao makes, she is doomed to lose!
Xie Yao chose to live on her own so that Xiao Ji could see clearly what a selfish woman she was.
Xie Yao chose Xiao Ji to live, which was exactly what she wanted.
"Xie Yao, Xiao Ji is willing to sacrifice his life for you, what about you?"
"You die? Or...Xiao Ji dies?"
