Chapter 1500 He Wants to Judge
Seeing several natives around him about to rush over, Nie Yao first winked at them and whispered, "Don't come out yet, ambush behind him, otherwise he will hurt Li Jinxing in a fit of rage when he sees you..."
"But His Highness is still in his hands..."
Nie Yao nodded and said solemnly, "I know. I will come forward to negotiate with him. Do not act without my order!"
When she said this, she looked at the frowning natives and took a deep breath, "He is your prince, and also my future husband. No one in this world cares about his safety more than I do!"
Seeing that Nie Yao was serious, several natives believed her, nodded in response, and began to hide their bodies quietly.
One of the natives, worried that Nie Yao would get hurt, forced a dagger into Nie Yao's hand.
Nie Yao hid the dagger in her clothes, then straightened her back and slowly walked towards the altar.
"Osiris--" When Nie Yao walked to the flat original altar, he saw Osiris standing there, one hand tightly holding Li Jinxing's vitals, and the other hand holding a Browning, pointing it at Li Jinxing's temple.
Li Jinxing had his eyes closed at this moment. It was unknown whether he had fainted due to injury or had been drugged. He did not struggle in his hands, and his face became even paler under the light of the flashlight.
"Li Jinxing--" Nie Yao was about to step forward as soon as he saw Li Jinxing in his hands.
Osiris quickly pulled Li Jinxing back two steps, sneering and saying, "Don't come forward, or I'll shoot him through the temple!"
"You—" Nie Yao's eyes widened in anger, and she glared at Osiris in front of her fiercely, gritting her teeth and shouting, "Osiris, let him go. If you have anything to say, come to me—"
"Haha, Isis, is this how you talk to your husband?" Osiris was clearly irritated by Nie Yao's attitude and angrily scolded, "You're going to turn against me just for this pretty boy?"
"Osiris, I have only ever had one husband, and that is Li Jinxing!"
Nie Yao snorted coldly, shook her head, and ruthlessly punctured his fantasy: "You are not the reincarnation of Hades, and I am not Isis. It's time to wake up from your dream! You are just a wanted tomb robber. We will never be on the same side as you!"
Osiris was clearly angered by Nie Yao's words. His expression was unpredictable, and the hand holding the Browning was shaking...
"You're talking nonsense. I am Hades, and Hades is me..."
He kept muttering to himself and refused to let go of the hand that was holding Li Jinxing's vitals!
Nie Yao was worried that he would pull the trigger in anger, and then Li Jinxing would not survive, but she didn't dare to provoke him too much.
"Osiris, I don't care who you are. Now let him go. Perhaps we can have a good discussion..."
Nie Yao patiently persuaded Osiris, who calmed down. He lowered his head to glance at Li Jinxing, pulled his neck, and sneered, "Tsk tsk, Li Jinxing, you are so lucky! Why don't you wake up and take a look? You were saved by a hero before, and now you have to be saved again..."
It was precisely because of his rough movements that Nie Yao noticed that Li Jinxing was bleeding. The blood had already stained his clothes red and dripped onto the ground of the altar...
Nie Yao clenched her fists in anger. She didn't know how badly Li Jinxing was injured by this madman, but it was obvious that Li Jinxing had fainted due to excessive blood loss!
"Osiris, have you ever read ancient Egyptian mythology carefully? The true Hades would never play dirty tricks!"
Nie Yao sneered with gritted teeth.
Osiris was speechless for a moment. Li Jinxing, who was pulled hard by him, also woke up a little from his drowsy state. He saw Nie Yao rushing over and said, "Yaoyao, don't worry about me, let's go..."
"Li Jinxing, I won't leave you alone!" Nie Yao shook her head and answered without hesitation.
Seeing the two still expressing their affection, Osiris was so angry that he increased his strength and tugged at Li Jinxing's collar, saying, "Haha, how can you be considered a hero if you need a woman to save you? Isis, oh Isis, you only care about this kind of wimp?"
"He's not a wimp, he's my fiancé. Without him, this underground palace wouldn't have been discovered!"
Nie Yao sneered and said to Osiris in a deep voice, "Even if you kill both of us here, you won't be able to escape. The wind and sand outside have stopped, and there are many guards. If you go out, you will only be shot to death!"
She paused here, then added with a sneer, "This is not your estate in the Sultan. There is no tunnel for you to escape!"
Osiris's expression changed again. He stared at Li Jinxing with hatred and sneered, "You destroyed my manor and killed my men. I came here today to seek revenge, not to escape!"
After he said this, a dagger appeared in his hand for some reason and slowly slid towards Li Jinxing's chest.
"The ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead once said that all the dead are judged in the underworld. You think Li Jinxing is a good man, so why not cut open his chest, take out his heart, and judge him according to the records in the Book of the Dead to see if his heart is lighter or heavier than a feather!"
Nie Yao's eyes widened in disbelief, and he roared, "Osiris, you are truly insane! Why don't you try it with your own heart? What qualifications do you have to judge?"
"Just because I am Osiris, the god of the underworld!" Osiris raised his chin slightly, with a crazy smile flashing in his eyes.
Seeing that the knife in Osiris's hand was about to cut through Li Jinxing's chest, Nie Yao stamped her feet anxiously and yelled, "Wait!"
Osiris paused and asked coldly, "What are you waiting for?"
"You said you wanted to hold a trial. Do you have the tools?" Nie Yao quickly calmed down and decided to delay for the time being.
"What tool?" Osiris frowned and asked in confusion.
"Since it's a trial, it requires a scale and feathers!"
Nie Yao curled her lips into a faint sneer as she confidently said, "The Book of the Dead says that you need to place the heart on a scale and the feather on the other side to determine which is lighter. Since you're going to be judged by the underworld, you should prepare all of this!"
"Who said I wasn't prepared?" Osiris shrugged and said in a quiet voice, "I have everything with me!"
"Really? Then take it out--" Nie Yao came up with an idea and immediately urged Osiris to take the thing, while exchanging a tacit look with Li Jinxing.
