Chapter 2698. Demonic Beast Soul
Liyu Zhen and Li Xue Cheng watched all of this unfold from afar. Their faces were gleaming with joy.
“Half an hour has passed. No matter how lucky Han Sen is, he will have been eaten by the Red Blood Demon by this point. Lifting the security now is pointless,” Li Xue Cheng said with a chuckle.
“I hope Exquisite isn’t too upset. I’ll have to think of ways to comfort her; this will surely be an open window of opportunity for me to swoop in and work my wily charms,” Liyu Zhen said, grinning widely.
“In that case, I hope you win the damsel at the end of this tale.” Li Xue Cheng was so happy. It felt like he had been waiting a long time to take out Han Sen. This was ointment to the long string of bad days he had recently suffered.
“Exquisite, let them do it. You don’t know how to lift the restrictions, and you are wasting time,” Open Sky Elder told Exquisite, eyeing her as she reached out to push the button.
When Exquisite heard him, she retreated and quickly exclaimed, “Hurry up and lift the security keeping him in!”
Right now, Exquisite was feeling both numb and nauseous on the inside. Even if Han Sen died, she and Li Keer could find another silkworm. It didn’t have to be Han Sen, but for some reason, she didn’t want to entertain the thought of finding someone else. Merely the idea made her feel dismal.
“I’d never find a silkworm like Han Sen again. That’s why I’m feeling like this. It must be. It must be the reason. It must.” Exquisite had realized that her emotions weren’t very rational, and so she was desperately trying to convince herself that they were.
The two Inspection Department men stepped forward and pushed the button. Open Sky Elder sighed and said, “Han Sen was such a rare genius. It is a shame to learn he has died in a tragedy like this.”
