Chapter 603: Bait
As soon as Ji You said that, Yue Qiguang was the first to complain: "When did we decide to form an alliance with them?"
Ji You retorted, "What’s wrong with that?"
Yue Qiguang replied, "They are not our kind, so their intentions must be different. What if they’re just putting on an act with us?"
Ji You couldn’t help but roll her eyes, saying, "So we’re being completely sincere in our cooperation with them?"
Yue Qiyuan coughed and said, "Yue Qiguang, you can stop talking now. I think Rag Queen’s idea is quite good."
Shen Changqing nodded in agreement: "I also think it’s not bad." Enemies of the Star Beast are their friends. Besides, they’re only temporary friends. When the relationship falls apart, that depends on how things develop later.
...
Chu Jiaojiao blinked her eyes, gazing at the Rag Queen and saying, "I like this proposal too. How about this: I’ll escort these three hostages along with the Rag Queen to negotiate with Bai Jiu."
All of this was mere speculation by everyone. If the speculation was true, then even if Bai Jiu’s team saw Chu Jiaojiao and the Rag Queen, they might not attack them.
What’s more, both of them are very strong; when the time comes, it might not be clear who would be attacking whom.
Ji You said, "Alright! I’ll go with Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee to negotiate cooperation with Bai Jiu."
Sheng Qingyan was the first to disagree, objecting: "What’s the point? Isn’t it better to just stay here and protect Little Cutie, huh?" His plan was always to loaf around in the arena, fumbling around for someone reliable to protect him.
