Li Qingluo didn't say anything else.
Duan Rongshi pressed on, "And what?"
Li Qingluo shook her head. "Your Highness, are you testing me today? If I feign ignorance, say nothing, and do nothing, will Your Highness let me go back to Jinling and never see me again?"
Duan Rongshi replied without hesitation: "Yes."
She was absolutely right.
He didn't want to mess with her.
But there are always strange opportunities in this world that always pull her towards him.
He couldn't help but fall into it again and again, until now it is getting deeper and deeper.
He wanted to see her more and more every day, and wanted to be close to her.
Didn't he know that he had no place to stay?
That's why we are so unclear about each other and have never expressed my true feelings.
Even at this moment, although he was only asking about the Pei family, Duan Rongshi seemed to be waiting for a confirmed answer...
Li Qingluo remained silent.
Prince Su, on the contrary, became impatient.
His eyes grew darker and darker, and suddenly, impulsively, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her to his side.
"Li Qingluo, if you make a decision today, I will assume that you will stay by my side and work for me."
"You must understand that this king never lets anyone around him leave."
"Unless, it's death."
Meeting his cold and domineering gaze, Li Qingluo suddenly shuddered and seemed to have become much more sober in an instant.
"I……"
Before she could answer, there was a sudden commotion in the hall below.
The two of them quickly lowered their heads to look downwards, and they found themselves fighting below without realizing it.
Li Qingluo's eyes widened. Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw someone suddenly rush towards Zaina who was sitting on the chair: "Witch, give me your life—"
However, before the man could even get close to Zaina, he was pushed into the wooden barrel of bloodworms by someone who had been lying in ambush nearby.
In just a moment, the man screamed: "Ah——"
Then, he was instantly rolled into the wooden barrel by the pink flesh worm. After a while, not even a piece of cloth was left. He was minced and devoured by the pink blood insect, leaving no bones behind.
Everyone who saw this scene was immediately frightened out of their wits.
Following screams, everyone rushed out.
However, the Lisboa Casino had already made countermeasures, and all the doors and windows had been sealed!
It was not until this moment that everyone realized that they might have fallen into the trap of the Lisboa Casino today!
"Everyone, what are you rushing about for? Don't be in a hurry."
“Now that we are here, let us make the best of it.”
"Today's auction hasn't ended yet, no one is allowed to leave!"
The one who shouted this was the masked young man.
At this moment, he had already put on a red cloak and was sitting in a sedan chair carried by ten people. He looked at all the horrified faces in the hall and seemed very satisfied.
Nanny Zheng pushed the door open, panting heavily. "Miss, it's Prince Jin's man, eaten by the bloodworm."
However, when Nanny Zheng saw Prince Su tightly holding her daughter's wrist, her gaze completely stopped and her eyes widened instantly.
Is this a scene that an old woman like her can see?
It’s over. His Royal Highness Prince Su won’t kill people to silence them, right?
Nanny Zheng was thinking a lot, but Li Qingluo had already walked over.
"Madame Zheng, are you okay?"
Seeing that Prince Su showed no signs of anger, Nanny Zheng quickly shook her head and grabbed Li Qingluo, "Miss, let's get out of here! This place is no longer safe. We can't stand watching the fun any longer!"
Nanny Zheng just wanted to leave quickly out of the principle of protecting Li Qingluo.
Li Qingluo said firmly: "No, we have no way out."
The doors and windows are all sealed, so it is obvious that I have to follow Prince Su to get out today.
Li Qingluo wasn't afraid at all. She calmly asked Nanny Zheng, "What happened downstairs just now? Wasn't it an auction? Why did it suddenly get so noisy?"
Nanny Zheng glanced at Prince Su's back before explaining, "We were originally planning to bid, but then His Royal Highness Prince Jin's people suddenly said they wanted to inspect the goods. They wanted the people from the Lisboa Casino to first explain how to use the insects to achieve immortality, and they also wanted to see if the witch was real or fake."
"Others followed suit and wanted to know too."
"The people at the Lisboa Casino refused to accept it, and a conflict broke out over a few words."
Li Qingluo frowned. "Are the King of Jin's men so impulsive? They really didn't mean it?"
Obviously, this bloodworm is just a trigger today.
It's impossible for it to be auctioned off so easily.
But who is behind this?
His Royal Highness Prince Su?
Li Qingluo had just finished speaking when Duan Rongshi stood up and came over: "Since you don't want to leave, then stay and watch the fun."
After saying that, he took her wrist again and strode outside.
Li Qingluo:?
Did she have the choice to leave just now?
