Seeing Xiaobai walking further away, Hua Qingcheng slowly approached Xiahou Jing. When they were about two meters apart, Hua Qingcheng paused.
She reached out and untied the badge hanging around her waist, swung it hard, and with a crisp "clang" sound, the badge was thrown far away and disappeared from sight.
"Xiahou Jing, I have already given you what you want. Let them go immediately!" Hua Qingcheng gritted her teeth, her beautiful eyes wide open, staring angrily at the cruel woman in front of her.
"Oh my, don't be so fierce! If you scare me and I lose my grip on the ropes, the consequences will be disastrous..."
Xiahou Jing's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile that blended playfulness and pride. As she spoke, she deliberately loosened her grip on the ropes slightly. The two cages holding Ye Maochun and Bai Yuheng instantly slid down the ropes by about a meter, shaking violently.
Ye Maochun's face turned pale with fear at the sudden turn of events. He clutched the edge of the cage with both hands, his body trembling with fear. Meanwhile, the surging waves below roared and rolled like a ferocious beast, their huge waves occasionally slapping against the bottom of the cage with a terrifying sound.
Faced with such a thrilling scene, in order not to worry his daughter, Ye Maochun closed his eyes tightly, suppressing the fear in his heart and not daring to make a sound.
"Xiahou Jing!" Hua Qingcheng was so angry that she was shaking all over. She strode forward and snatched the two ropes from Xiahou Jing's hands, which were tightly wrapped around the tree and the other end was connected to the cage.
"Hahaha, if I kill you now, won't it be done without anyone noticing?"
Xiahou Jing looked at Hua Qingcheng, who was holding the rope tightly with both hands, with a sinister look on her face, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
At this moment, Ye Maochun, lying in the cage, heard Xia Houjing's words and couldn't help but feel a surge of panic and despair. Unable to suppress his inner fear, he shouted again, "Qingcheng, leave me alone! Go! This despicable woman will never keep her promise!"
However, facing Ye Maochun's dismissal, Hua Qingcheng showed no sign of leaving. She first gently comforted Ye Maochun, then turned and said to Xia Houjing with a mocking expression, "Our soldiers are already ambushing us at the foot of the mountain. If you dare to kill me, do you think you can escape?"
Xiahou Jing snorted disdainfully, "I was just saying it casually. I'm not so foolish as to kill myself. But... Nalan Qingcheng, I'd really like to know. If only one of these two men could survive, who would you choose to save?"
Before Xia Hou Jing finished her words, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of her lips. She then threw a dagger at each of the two ropes on the tree and flew away.
"No!"
Hua Qingcheng was horrified and quickly swung out two Flying Tiger Claws to firmly hold the two cages that were falling down at a rapid speed.
