Chapter 590 I've already given my life, this dowry is heavy enough!
"..."
Li Xiao stood still, looking down at the person sitting on the ground.
He leaned casually against the wall, a slight smile playing on his lips, looking relaxed and carefree.
That's pretty arrogant of them.
Did she know she was a prisoner, and could lose her life at any moment?!
Why pretend to faint?
Li Xiao stared intently at the girl, his voice stern and authoritative.
"First, your medicine is completely useless." Pei Jinwu slightly raised her eyelids, her clear eyes looking directly at the other person with a cold gaze. "Second, it's to dispel your doubts and allow my parents to leave safely."
"Aren't you afraid of dying?"
Li Xiao's voice was harsh, and his gaze was cold as he looked at Pei Jinwu.
"If I dared to come, why would I be afraid of dying?"
Pei Jinwu slightly curled the corners of her lips, a contemptuous smile escaping her throat, and said nonchalantly, "However, I guess Pavilion Master Li won't let me die before the research is successful."
"Pretty proud," Li Xiao scoffed. "Thinking you're so smart?"
"What's wrong?"
Pei Jinwu echoed, "Am I not smart?"
Even if someone isn't smart, they wouldn't be able to fool him so easily, would they?!
"..."
Seeing her languid smile and her eyes crinkling, Li Xiao's gaze deepened.
"..."
Li Xiao was rendered speechless by her retort, his face turning ashen.
No wonder he's Xia Xun's offspring.
This fearless and reckless temperament is no different from her original self.
"Smack—"
When the room lights were turned on, Pei Jinwu could see that this place was actually a small laboratory with complete equipment.
"You are the Ghost of the Underground City, and you are also the Divine Physician of Nine Nights." Li Xiao sneered, "You're quite something, manipulating me like this."
"So what?"
Pei Jinwu's pure eyes narrowed slightly, and she retorted sharply, "If I had found out the location of the Hidden World Pavilion earlier, I would have wanted to kill you, you old bastard."
"You have to call me uncle!" Li Xiao was enraged and reprimanded him sternly.
"uncle?"
Pei Jinwu chewed on the two words, the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth becoming more and more obvious, his eyebrows and eyes full of disgust: "In this world, there is no brother who is so shameless as to covet his own sister."
"..."
Li Xiao's gaze turned icy as he stared furiously at Pei Jinwu.
"No wonder my mom looks down on someone as disgusting as you." Pei Jinwu chuckled, then continued to dig into his heart, "You want to be my uncle? You're not worthy!"
Say that again!
Enraged, Li Xiao pointed the cold muzzle of his gun at Pei Jinwu's brow, roaring and growling like an angry lion.
Xia Xun liked him from the start.
If Sheng Beitang hadn't deliberately approached Xia Xun and snatched her away, it would have been a great loss.
It's all Sheng Beitang's fault.
He'll pay the price sooner or later.
“Say it ten times, I’ll take it.” Pei Jinwu lifted her eyelids, met the annoyed Li Xiao’s gaze, and smiled slightly. “No wonder my mother doesn’t approve of you, no wonder my mother doesn’t approve of you, no wonder my mother…”
He kept repeating it over and over, completely ignoring Li Xiao's increasingly ugly expression.
Arrogant and unruly, fearless.
She was certain that Li Xiao wouldn't dare to actually harm her, the experimental subject.
"Hmm—"
Before Pei Jinwu could finish repeating herself ten times, a towel was suddenly stuffed into her mouth, silencing her.
Pei Jinwu: "?"
Old man.
Are you resorting to dirty tricks?
If you're so capable, challenge her to a one-on-one fight!
"Stop your nonsense, or I'll poison your voice and make you lose your voice." Li Xiao, his anger raging and unable to vent, threatened breathlessly, "Don't provoke me, I won't let you die right now."
"Once the research is successful, we'll use you to exchange for Sheng Beitang and Xia Xun."
"If they can sacrifice for you once, they will certainly do it countless times."
"This place is no different from the underground city."
Li Xiao put his hands behind his back, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth: "Don't even think about leaving, you can't escape."
He left behind some harsh words.
Filled with rage, Li Xiao stormed off in a fit of anger.
"He tui!"
As soon as the door closed, Pei Jinwu easily freed herself from her restraints and spat out the towel from her mouth.
Just as Li Xiao had predicted.
The laboratory was constructed with special materials, making it impossible for a mere mortal to escape.
"Tsk."
Pei Jinwu sneered and fell onto the bed.
If you fall down, lie down there.
She stared at the ceiling, her smile gradually fading.
Lou Ying and her fourth sister must have sent their parents back to the S Alliance in the capital.
With the S Alliance members around, they'll be fine.
but.
Shang Dynasty inkstone.
Thinking of that name, Pei Jinwu's heart suddenly ached slightly.
She had promised the older man that she would bring her parents back to him.
Then she married him.
They breached the contract.
Given his temper, who knows how angry he might get.
My health is still not good.
When you get excited, you lose your temper and end up crippled.
Shang Dynasty inkstone...
Let's wait a little longer.
She will return safely.
Pei Jinwu moved her lips and slowly closed her moist eyes.
actually.
Li Xiao's medicine wasn't ineffective; rather, she relied on willpower to maintain her rationality.
Ensure the safety of parents.
Pei Jinwu's tense nerves slowly relaxed, and she gradually fell asleep.
——
The capital city.
S Alliance Base.
Shang Shiyan spent most of the day at the base, and in his anxiety, he smashed several computers.
The people in the room couldn't find any clues about the landlady and were too scared to make a sound.
The entire base was deathly still, as if we had returned to the days when our master was being hunted by ghosts.
It's tough.
Finally, when everyone was about to give up, Jiang Yingdi, the film emperor, appeared as their lifeline.
"Your body hasn't recovered yet, so you can't sit for long periods of time."
Jiang Jibai stared at Shang Shiyan, who was dealing with the computer, both angry and helpless: "You think Wuwu will be happy when she comes back after ruining her health like this?"
"..."
Shang Shiyan ignored everything, focusing all his attention on the computer.
strangeness.
Before Wuwu left, she clearly had a tracking device installed in her hair.
Why can't it be tracked?
Where exactly did Li Xiao take her?
"Shang Shi Inkstone!"
Seeing him like a puppet, Jiang Jibai couldn't control his anger and forcefully threw the computer aside: "Can't you fucking give me a break?"
"..."
Shang Shiyan sat there, without eating or drinking for a day and a night, and without closing his eyes.
He was weak and dejected, his face was as white as a ghost, and he looked like he could kick the bucket at any moment.
"I can't find any trace of Wuwu." Shang Shiyan slowly raised his pale face, his voice extremely hoarse and completely red, like a wounded lion.
"..."
Seeing his expression, Jiang Jibai couldn't bear to blame him. After a sigh, he said, "Li Xiao needs test subjects and won't take action against her in the short term."
"My parents want to see you."
Jiang Jibai added, "Perhaps they can give you some clues."
Upon hearing this...
Shang Shiyan stood up shakily and walked forward unsteadily.
"Where are you going?" Jiang Jibai frowned.
"Change your clothes."
Shang Shiyan turned his head away, forcing a smile: "If you're going to marry someone's daughter, you at least need to have a good image, right?"
"..."
Jiang Jibai was speechless.
They've already risked their lives; this dowry is quite heavy.
If his parents don't agree, he'll personally help them snatch the bride!

There will be more updates.
