Chapter 2623 Reaping Lives with Ease
Wanrou's heart skipped a beat, and her face dropped. Before she could react, there was a cold flash of light that pressed against her throat. It was a shiny flying sword of unmatched sharpness. Under its fierce aura, she stiffened and goose bumps rose all over her neck.
Heng Xinghai smiled, “You can answer my question now.”
“Miss!”
“Outrageous!”
The deck became restless as the guards of the Nine Leaf Merchant House shouted with expressions of shock and anger on their faces. None of them could have expected Heng Xinghai to suddenly act against Wanrou, so it caught them completely off guard.
Not only them, but even Wanrou herself had never anticipated this. Her eyes became frosty. She said angrily, “So you have other motives, your purpose isn’t the Rowdy Demon Sea!”
Heng Xinghai laughed, “You’ve finally realized it, but it’s not too late. Our purpose is simple: we only want Ancestor Kun’s life bone. Hand it to us willingly, and I guarantee not a single hair on your head will be harmed.”
Wanrou's heart was in turmoil. “What life bone? I have no idea what you're talking about.”
“What’s the use of playing dumb at this point?” Heng Xinghai's eyes gleamed with derision. “Runyue, tell your young lady to think about it again, carefully this time.”
Runyue?! Wanrou's expression drastically changed.
That was when her clever and obedient maid flashed her a smile, “Since you’re a busy person, Miss, it makes sense that you tend to forget things. Let me remind you then, isn’t the goal of this trip to the Rowdy Demon Sea to make a deal with Scarlet Demon Dao Lord, using exactly that item we’re talking about?”
Wanrou's heart sank to the bottom, and her hands and feet went cold. Despite that, she was able to compose herself, except that her eyes were filled with disappointment.
