Chapter 417: Deep Mansion (V)
Yu Huo wanted to escape, and of course he did so.
Just before he was about to run out of the side hall, the sound of crisp snapping fingers came from behind him.
The sound of the wind died down, scattered snowflakes drifted in the air, refusing to fall. The world seemed to have fallen into stillness again, a familiar stillness...
Bang——
The windless automatic door suddenly closed by itself. Yu Huo stopped helplessly and looked back at the man sitting in the main seat in a lazy posture.
There was only a faint light from the still candlelight in the room. The warm yellow halo reflected on the man, faintly revealing his hideous side, as if ominousness and danger were living next to each other, clamoring to devour everything.
Gulp——
The sound of Yu Huo swallowing his saliva was particularly harsh in the silence.
His nervousness was thus sensed by the man in front of him who seemed to be in control of everything. The smile in his eyes disappeared instantly, and he spoke first: "Are you afraid of me?"
His voice, which was full of perseverance, was unusually hoarse, as if he had not spoken for a long time, and was mixed with the sluggishness of loneliness.
Puzzlement flashed in Yu Huo's eyes, and his lips moved.
Are you afraid?
Of course he is afraid!
Once the soul orb in his body is taken away, he will disappear.
That's right, not death, but disappearance...
His silence made the man's cold aura gradually grow heavier. As if he was determined to get an answer, he walked forward inquiringly and stopped within a step of him.
Because it was too sudden, Yu Huo seemed to have a stress reaction and suddenly threw out a talisman: "Fix!"
The talisman fell lightly on the man's forehead. The sound of footsteps disappeared, and even the sound of breathing seemed to disappear.
Yu Huo saw that he had stopped moving and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but then he saw the man who should have been fixed in place suddenly raise his arm strangely, and his two slender fingers easily pinched the thin talisman and pulled it down.
Crash——
The talisman was thrown down and suddenly combusted in mid-air, turning into a wisp of elusive green smoke.
Yu Huo stood there in a daze, his pupils trembling violently with surprise, like a landslide or tsunami.
It's useless!
How could it be useless? Then last time...
Yu Huo reacted almost instantly and realized that the last time this guy was immobilized it was intentional!
At this moment, the man's face was facing away from the light source, and in the dark tones, there seemed to be a hint of an enchanting aura, beautiful and changeable.
The same mood swings, but the person in front of him is much more extreme than himself, as if heaven and grave are connected, all depending on the other person's thoughts.
What he feared was precisely this feeling of being out of control and powerless.
How, how can I control this person's 'single thought'...
The man caught a glimpse of the flickering emotions in the young man's fox eyes. His dimming pupils lit up again, and he asked curiously, "What are you thinking about?"
Yu Huo withdrew his thoughts and caught a glimpse of the smile that flashed across the other person's lips, and he felt secretly dissatisfied in his heart.
As expected, he is moody.
He paused, then finally spoke, roguely saying, "I'm thinking about how to take your soul orb for myself."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man laughed, and his thin red lips could no longer be restrained from raising the arc, which made his already beautiful facial features even more radiant.
Yu Huo narrowed his eyes, and red pupils appeared faintly: "Are you happy?"
The man stared into his gorgeous eyes and followed his heart to reach out his hand again.
But the young man was still wary and turned his head to avoid his touch.
He looked at his hand, which was awkwardly hanging in the air, and rubbed it with his fingertips unwillingly: "The soul bead... is for you."
Yu Huo was slightly startled when he heard this, the vigilance on his face instantly faded, and he stared at the other person straight.
That look seemed to be exploring and questioning.
During this time, he suddenly turned his wrist, and his cold fingertips finally touched the young man's soft eye sockets, as if tracing the outline of those beautiful pupils through the thin skin...
The man's breath was cold, and his touch was also cold. This chill made Yu Huo shiver and look at the other person in confusion.
Maybe the man really liked his eyes. He leaned over, seemingly in a good mood, and whispered in his ear, with a subtle temptation in his voice.
He reiterated: "The soul orb is given to you."
A cool breath passed by his ears. Yu Huo turned away uncomfortably and asked calmly, "What are your conditions?"
The next second, the fingertips pressing on the corners of his eyes paused for a moment, and the man chuckled: "Shall we cooperate?"
Yu Huo blinked slowly, his eyes revealing a deep sense of incomprehension: "Cooperation?"
"Yes, cooperation." The man raised his hand lightly, and suddenly slid it down from his cheek, fiddling with the other's small earlobe.
After seeing the other party tremble again, a look of triumph flashed in his eyes: "Cooperate with me and kill all these people in the dungeon..."
Yu Huo resisted the urge to step back, glancing over without dodging or evading, his voice surprisingly calm: "Yuan, I've heard a lot about you these past few days."
The man showed no emotion when he heard this, but his fingertips teased his earlobe again provocatively: "So?"
Yu Huo didn't hold back this time. He tilted his head and avoided her, his expression slightly irritated. "You can still kill them without my cooperation. Please be honest. What do you want from me?"
Yuan retracted his hand, and his dark eyes seemed to be covered with a thick layer of fog, making him even more unpredictable.
"Okay, be honest." His voice seemed to be tinged with helplessness, and he said lightly: "I think you are very interesting. I want you to be a witness to my victory."
"Oh, you want to seize power." Yu Huo bluntly exposed his ambition to the public.
The man shrugged. "That's right. Support me or stop me. It's your choice."
Yu Huo felt his eyes were a little distracted, and under the immense pressure from the other party, he refused in a deep voice.
"But I don't want to be a boring... witness, and..."
"and?"
Yu Huo took a deep breath and smiled: "Besides, I won't return the soul bead to you."
Yuan was amused by the young man in front of him.
In fact, even if the other party is from the Shura lineage, it would be easy for him to kill him.
But...it's rare for him to meet such an interesting person, so he doesn't want to do that.
It seemed that the presence of this vibrant life could comfort him on the lonely road he had walked.
Therefore, he hoped that the young man in front of him would witness the final moment.
His joy needs to be shared...
After a few seconds, Yuan nodded gently under the young man's anxious gaze. "When I said I was giving the Soul Orb to you, it was for you. I didn't mean to ask you to return it to me. As for your choice... I understand."
So easy to talk to?
Yu Huo's vigilance increased instead of decreasing.
Although the man's voice at that moment really gave people the illusion of being very gentle.
But Yu Huo is not a naive person. He knows clearly that Yuan’s nature is negative!
Based on the unequal strength between them, they have no qualifications to negotiate at all.
So when he said he understood, the subtext was also... not important.
What he chooses is not important to Yuan at all.
