Chapter 774: She is still scared of me
Bai Feng had expected it to happen; thus, he immediately created a path for everyone to escape. But because it happened too suddenly, a lot of the commoners couldn’t escape through the ice bridge. First of all, it was too cold, and since Bai Meiyue was no longer maintaining it, it had started to melt, becoming more and more slippery. Many of the people who were in a hurry to escape ended up slipping and falling to their deaths!
When Bai Feng saw this, he was filled with grief, but there was little he could do for those who had no powers, especially when —
"Why are you looking at them?" Bai Xue was no longer bothering to keep up with her pretence. She knew that it no longer mattered if she pretended to be nice or not since Bai Feng wouldn’t care about her anyway. She pulled and tugged at him; she was just like the rest of the commoners. Without any spiritual energy. And the bridge was on the tenth floor, it was so scary that it made her legs go limp.
What was more, without any core energy, she found it extremely hard to walk on the bridge. Turned out that this bridge was just like its owner. Troublesome and sleazy. It was actually trying to kill her!
Bai Xue didn’t dare to let go of Bai Feng’s arm because she was worried that she would slip and die just like the others.
Bai Feng pursed his lips. He looked at Bai Xue, who was holding onto his arm and then at Bai Qingshi, who was holding onto the other. The two of them were holding him like two giant octopuses, and if he was not careful, then he too would have slipped down with them!
"Xiang Mei, can you create two railings on either side of this bridge?" Bai Meiyue didn’t bother to make the railings, as the one who walked on this bridge were all able users and thus she didn’t have to worry about them losing their footing and falling to their deaths, but the same couldn’t be said about his team.
Xiang Mei nodded and started building two gnarled and thick railings around the bridge. Though it was nowhere near as sturdy as the bridge, at least it could hold on until they all passed.
It took them all a good two hours to cross the bridge. Of course, a lot of the commoners who were scared of heights or who were not watching where they were going ended up dying and being torn apart by the zombies.
When they finally reached the tenth floor, Bai Xue slumped in a corner and clutched her head. "Scary. It is so scary!"
Bai Qingshi was also not looking good. He turned to look at his son and said, "You have to do something, Ah Feng. We cannot stay here any longer; these things...these monsters will ruin us!"
Bai Feng blew up the bridge just as the zombies started to climb it and sent the countless zombies down the streets. He turned to look at his father and asked coldly, "What do you want me to do?"
"Ask Bai Meiyue. She has so many ideas; since she came here to help you, she must have a way to get out of here." Bai Qingshi had long understood his eldest daughter. That woman was really skilled and had some talent. Now he regretted putting all his attention on Bai Xue. This woman was clearly useless. Even her mother was the same.
Compared to her, even Bai Jixuan and Bai Zhan were better.
"Of course, she has a lot of ideas, but do you think that she will agree to help us with you two in our team?" Lu Xinran asked angrily. She could not understand what was going on in Bai Feng’s mind. What Bai Meiyue said was indeed true; these people were heartless, and Chu Xia was just as scheming. She deliberately used her life as a gambling chip and tied Bai Xue, this burden to them.
She wondered why Bai Feng couldn’t accept something so simple. What was so hard about it?
Keeping these people would only bring endless trouble. Especially that Bai Xue. Just one look and anyone could see that this woman was not the kind who could sit still. What was the point of letting her stay with them? She was not only troublesome but also ungrateful. Just now, when Chu Xia died, even Bai Feng, who was schemed against, was heartbroken and this woman? ’
She didn’t even show any emotion on her face. Someone like her, who wouldn’t even shed a tear for her mother – how could she be grateful for their help?
"I am her father! She—she cannot ignore me." Bai Qingshi was still lost in his arrogance, where he could suppress Bai Meiyue under his feet. He believed that as long as Bai Feng used his name, cowardly Bai Meiyue wouldn’t dare to refuse.
He turned to look at Bai Feng and said to him, "Just tell her that I was the one who asked you to come. She wouldn’t dare to say no."
Bai Feng frowned when he heard the words of his father. He wanted to tell the old man that he was still dreaming if he thought that Bai Meiyue was going to listen to him, but at the same time, he had a feeling that there was no point in mentioning this thing to his father.
Maybe it was because his father felt that he was too useless, but he was still determined to prove that he still had the same authority as he had in the past.
"You–"
"I will see what I can do," before Lu Xinran could say anything, Bai Feng stopped her. Seeing him agree, Lu Xinran could only roll her eyes at him. Now she had a feeling that Bai Feng would really be dragged down to death by the Bai Family!
