"Su Zi!"
Mo Xuan exclaimed and subconsciously wanted to help her, but Li Lingge grabbed her wrist.
His fingers were cold, but his strength was so strong that there was no room for escape.
"Miss Mo Xuan."
He chuckled softly, his voice low and bewitching.
"You are a smart person. You should know that this is your only way to survive."
Mo Xuan's fingertips trembled slightly.
Of course she knows.
The black-bellied spider family is on the verge of extinction. They can escape for a while, but not forever.
Can you submit to Li Lingge?
The man who was responsible for their genocide?
She slowly raised her eyes and met Li Lingge's bottomless eyes.
"What does your highness want?"
Li Lingge chuckled and gently stroked her wrist with his fingertips, as if he was admiring a delicate prey.
"What I want is simple—you."
Mo Xuan's breathing suddenly stopped, and the various methods used by the person in front of him emerged in his mind.
Su Zi coughed up blood in the corner, her eyes full of despair.
"Don't believe him!"
But Mo Xuan had already slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was only determination left in his eyes.
"How can you guarantee the safety of my people?"
Li Lingge spoke slowly.
"The silk of the black-bellied silk spider needs a special liquid to soften it before it can be used, and only I can prepare this liquid.
In the future, Jinxiu Pavilion will still collect black silk, but will only cooperate with your clan and give you the magic stone directly.
Others don't have the softening liquid, so even if they catch the black-bellied silk spider privately, it will be useless."
These words instantly moved Mo Xuan's heart.
Whether the revenge of the entire clan can be avenged can be discussed later.
As long as we agree to this condition now, we can save the remaining members of the tribe.
"I, I promise you."
How could that be possible, Li Lingge continued.
"In that case, take me to your ancestral secret land."
"What?!"
Neither Mo Xuan nor Su Zi had expected that Li Lingge would actually set his sights on their ancestral land.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Mo Xuan refused without even thinking.
In the secret realm lies their clan's most precious treasure, the Chaos Green Lotus. If Li Lingge is brought in, wouldn't she become a sinner of the clan?
Oh--
Li Lingge sneered, and then spoke.
"Do you think that even if you don't take me with you, the Chaos Azure Lotus can be preserved?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Guess who was chasing you and your sisters? Why was my second brother able to save you at the critical moment?"
"you--"
Mo Xuan suddenly remembered the day when she and Mo Li were rescued by Zhao Lingyu. At that time, she felt that it was too coincidental.
But after all, the two of them escaped death at that time, so she didn't think too much about it.
In addition, Zhao Lingyu saved their sisters' lives after all, so she subconsciously did not want to judge others by evil means.
However, when Li Lingge brought up the matter again, she immediately became suspicious.
"The Second Prince saved my life, don't try to sow discord."
Li Lingge shook his head helplessly.
"I've given you the full power to choose. It's up to you to decide what to choose."
After saying that, he looked at Mo Xuan meaningfully again.
"I will go to Yanyu Tower tonight and wait for your reply there."
…
Mo Xuan's fingers tightly clasped his sister's slender wrist, his nails almost digging into her flesh.
"Follow me!"
She lowered her voice and glanced warily at the deep corridors of Zhao Lingyu's mansion.
Mo Li staggered as she was pulled by her, and her skirt embroidered with gold thread caught on the stone steps.
"Sister, you hurt me!"
She struggled to pull her hand back, her eyes full of confusion and dissatisfaction.
"Shut up!"
Mo Xuan suddenly pulled his sister to the shadow behind the rockery, away from the patrolling guards.
The moonlight shone through the bamboo leaves onto the sisters' faces, reflecting two similar features.
But Mo Li's makeup was more exquisite, and she wore the golden hairpin that Zhao Lingyu gave her in her hair.
Mo Xuan took a deep breath and lowered his voice.
"Zhao Lingyu saved us only for the Chaos Azure Lotus! He already knew our identities, and all this was a plot!"
She expected to see her sister's shocked expression, but she saw Mo Li just pursed her lips slightly, her eyes drifting towards the brightly lit bedroom not far away.
"I know." Mo Li's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
"What?" Mo Xuan was struck by lightning and his fingers loosened unconsciously.
Mo Li rubbed his wrist which was pinched red, and when he raised his face, there was a hint of pride in his eyes.
"His Highness has never concealed his purpose, sister, where do you think we can escape to?
There are only a few of our clan left, so what good is it to guard our ancestral land?"
"So you're going to sell out our clan's most precious treasure?" Mo Xuan's voice trembled. "The Chaos Azure Lotus is a sacred object that our ancestors guarded with their lives!"
"So what!"
Mo Li suddenly became excited, and a strange purple light flashed in his eyes.
"When the tribe members died, did the sacred object save them?"
She had long been fed up with the days of fleeing, and now she had finally settled down in the palace. No one, not even her sister, could take everything away from her.
"His Highness promised me that if I bring him into the ancestral land, he will not only keep my sisters and me safe, but will also marry me as his princess."
"You're crazy!"
Mo Xuan grabbed her sister's shoulders, trying to sober her up.
"How could the humans treat us sincerely? They don't even spare the spiderlings!"
Mo Li smiled sweetly and took out an exquisite jade box from her sleeve.
