Chapter 2588 There is Always a Higher Mountain
Huo Xingdu's arrival was no different than the descent of a legendary existence for the people present. Upon seeing him, their faces became filled with awe.
The Water Cloud State encompassed three hundred and sixty cities. Having the capability to be the lord of such a territory, the impression of might had long been carved into the hearts of every cultivator during these countless years.
“My lord, please save my poor child!” Qin Xiaotong, who had been knocked down by Lin Xun's slap, broke the silence, shouting excitedly like he had finally found a lifeline.
Huo Xingdu frowned. He directed his gaze at Lin Xun and asked, “What do you think of my proposal, Little Friend?”
Everyone couldn’t help but look over at Lin Xun. Even Lord Huo Xingdu is here now. How can you not give him face?
Contrary to their expectations, he ignored Huo Xingdu and turned to Xiao Xi, “Do you think that little bastard is stupid?”
Xiao Xi was stunned for a moment before she answered, “Definitely not.”
He asked, “Then do you think that old fogey is stupid?”
She answered, “Anyone who can take on the role of a city lord is definitely not stupid.”
Lin Xun nodded, “You're correct. They're looking pitiful now because they provoked me, but if I weren’t here this time, what do you think would have happened to you?”
Xiao Xi shivered when she imagined the possibility. If she was captured, then how would she fight back with her strength?
In that scenario, she probably would be subjected to humiliation and torture that would make her want to die, but it would be a situation in which she could not die!
