Chapter 2597 - 2598: Madness Is Contagious
She bit her lip and didn’t dare to say a word.
Originally, she wanted to make a retort again, but who would dare to joke about their own family? She would still have to rely on her family to stand firm on the Illusion Continent in the future.
"What did you say? Hmm?"
Lin Caisang looked at her, letting out a cold laugh.
Such a bully. Earlier, when ignoring her, she thought they were afraid of her and kept trying to provoke them.
Now, as soon as they showed a bit of temper, this woman was so afraid?
"If you don’t want to keep going, then you can stay here. No one would mind. Of course, if your captain is willing to stay here for you, then we naturally have nothing to say, right?
You might as well ask your captain if he wants to stay... in this place."
As she spoke, her gaze glanced around, implying her words to Ling Xue’er, and then she turned, looking at Yuan Jue and his team members with a half-smile.
Upon hearing her words, Yuan Jue’s face instantly turned grim.
How could he possibly stay here just for Ling Xue’er?
He already sensed earlier that there were many demon auras here. Fearfully, by night, many demons would rest in the vicinity, meaning there was a demon nest nearby.
Damn it, who would dare spend a night near a demon nest?
Forget about waking up the next day, they wouldn’t wake up at all, just sleeping straight into being a demon’s dinner!
However, after hearing Lin Caisang’s words, Ling Xue’er looked hopefully at Yuan Jue.
After her eyes were ruined last time, and now being intimidated by Lin Caisang, she no longer wanted to travel with Lin Caisang’s group. It was best to part ways and go separately.
And once they reached the rendezvous, she had plenty of ways to make Commander Lin avenge her for the eye gouge, considering her father’s influence.
"Brother Jue, we..."
She turned to look at Yuan Jue, just about to ask him to rest here for the night.
But before she could finish, Yuan Jue turned to his other team members and quietly instructed them.
"Pack up, we’re traveling overnight."
"Brother Jue!"
Ling Xue’er looked at Yuan Jue in disbelief, feeling as if the painkillers she had just taken were useless, and the wound on her eye ached again.
How could Yuan Jue be like this, when she was already so injured, and he wouldn’t even let her rest for a night?
"Ling Xue’er, if you don’t want to go, just stay here yourself."
Yuan Jue couldn’t even be bothered to speak politely to Ling Xue’er, leaving behind a cold remark before going to pack his things.
"Brother Jue..."
Seeing Yuan Jue turn away, Ling Xue’er felt overwhelming despair coming at her.
Turning her head, she looked at Lin Caisang, who stared at her with contempt, gritting her teeth, glaring at her with her single remaining eye.
"It’s all because of you that Brother Jue is so heartless to me. You must be so pleased now, right?"
Lin Caisang: "..."
It’s really impossible to reason with someone who’s out of their mind.
"Sang’er, come here."
Sui Zimo came over, protecting his wife in his arms, and then the two turned and walked away.
"Madness can be contagious, don’t get too close to a madwoman."
