468 Bathing
Su Cheng thought for a moment and said, “You can hide here.”
Dong Xi did not suspect Su Cheng. Since Su Cheng had asked Dong Xi to stay here, he must have a way.
Dong Xi took out her communication jade slip and sent a message to the group.
[If you don’t want to bathe with the Fire Tribe, come to the innermost room on the second floor of the teahouse.]
Those who were free saw this message and immediately started chatting in the group.
[What? We’re even showering together?]
[Aren’t you shy with so many people around?]
[What kind of race is the Fire Tribe? Is the Fire Fairy good-looking?]
…
Dong Xi did not reply to the message. After a while, she continued to send the same message.
About an hour later, two people came over, both of them blushing.
Dong Xi estimated thaest there were only these few fish that escaped the net.
“Fellow Daoist, what should we do now? We have to think of a way to save them. My Senior Brother has been captured.”
“My wife and Senior Brother have also been captured.” Dong Xi sighed.
He had to save Senior Brother Tie Zhu. Dong Xi had brought him here, so she could not just leave him be.
As for Shangguan Yun’er, Dong Xi had also promised Shangguan Patriarch that they would do their best to rescue her.
“How are we going to save them?” asked Long Wei.
“Even if we try our best to save them, we’re like trapped beasts here. We can’t escape, and we’ll be caught sooner or later.”
Everyone was silent. They all knew that time waited for no one, but they were helpless.
At this moment, Su Cheng’s voice sounded in Dong Xi’s sea of consciousness. Su Cheng said, “Tell everyone to wait here. You and I will go see the Fire Tribe Patriarch.”
Dong Xi smiled. Since Su Cheng had agreed to take care of it, there was still a way.
Dong Xi told everyone to wait here and not to go out. As long as these few people did not go out, no one would be able to find them.
The few of them agreed. Dong Xi walked out and turned around to find that the room was empty.
Dong Xi did not know if Su Cheng was using some kind of camouflage spell or some other spell, but it was good that it worked.
After leaving the house, Su Cheng transformed into his human form.
However, it was still slightly different from before. The huge snake tail had turned into legs, and it was almost two meters tall.
Dong Xi followed beside Su Cheng like a child.
Dong Xi looked at Su Cheng’s slender legs and found that Su Cheng walked very steadily without any signs of limping.
Dong Xi was suspicious in her heart. Could it be that it was an illusion in the past?
Dong Xi remembered what Su Cheng had said before. She said, “Didn’t you say that snakes don’t have legs?”
“It’s just an illusion,” Su Cheng said as he walked.
Dong Xi jogged after him. Dong Xi said, “Your illusion is very brilliant.”
His long legs were really good, and he walked so fast that even Dong Xi could not keep up.
The Fire Tribe Patriarch was talking to a member of the Fire Tribe in a room when a powerful pressure pressed down from all directions. The Fire Tribe Patriarch was sweating, but because his body temperature was very high, his sweat instantly evaporated into gas, and sizzling sounds came from the room.
“Where did this expert come from?” The Fire Tribe Patriarch gritted his teeth. “Why don’t you come out and meet me?”
Su Cheng walked in with Dong Xi. Dong Xi looked at the tall black figure in front of him and then at the fearful look on the Fire Tribe Patriarch’s face.
Dong Xi suddenly felt that she had played the role of a dog taking advantage of others’ power very well.
Thinking of this, Dong Xi was no longer nervous.
Although Dong Xi did not know how the Big Snake would negotiate with the Fire Tribe’s Patriarch, since they were at the negotiation table, the stronger one would have more say.
And now, Dong Xi and the Big Snake were the stronger ones.
Su Cheng withdrew his pressure, and the Fire Tribe Patriarch immediately relaxed. He said, “May I know where Senior came from? Why did you come to my small Fire Tribe?”
Su Cheng tidied his sleeves and sat down on a stool at the side.
Su Cheng was no longer afraid of such high temperatures after he had refined more than half of the Fire God’s Blessing.
“I heard that you captured my subordinate?” Su Cheng asked.
The Fire Tribe Patriarch was stunned for a moment before he understood. He said, “Are you an outsider?”
Su Cheng did not explain. The Fire Tribe Patriarch continued, “I see. No wonder your cultivation is so high…”
“Release my subordinates, or else I might do something when I’m angry.”
The threat in his words was very strong. The Fire Tribe Patriarch smiled bitterly and said, “Your spiritual energy is strong, so it’s normal for you to do anything. But to us, it’s just a matter of whether we die early or late.”
Su Cheng’s eyes were a little strange. Dong Xi was anxious when she heard this. Dong Xi said, “Why do you need to die? As long as we let our people go, you won’t die.”
