Chapter 2257: Chapter 2257: Leaving It to Fate
Xiao Taohong: "Don’t overthink it. The master isn’t that kind of person. It wasn’t intentional when he hit you earlier. Why are you being so petty?"
Little Tiger felt extremely miserable. He was the one who got hit, but at the end, he was still the one in the wrong. What sin did he commit? Even the beloved Xiao Taohong wasn’t on his side.
At this moment, they heard Xuexue outside saying to Long Rui: "Since Zhao Yin has been captured, there’s hope for those dozen Insect Persons. Let’s quickly bring Zhao Yin’s senior brother over to cast a spell and save them."
Long Rui was somewhat apprehensive and said: "Despite everything, they are still brothers. What if the Shopkeeper finds out we captured Zhao Yin and turns against us?"
Xuexue knitted her eyebrows and said: "Then let’s not tell him we captured Zhao Yin. We’ll just say we went to his residence, and while he’s not paying attention, cut off a piece of flesh to cast the spell. Isn’t that possible?"
Long Rui nodded and said: "To be safe, we can only use this method."
"Master, Master, we can’t cast the spell now." Suddenly, Xiao Taohong shouted from the space.
"What’s wrong?" Xuexue was taken aback.
Long Rui thought Xuexue was talking to him and quickly responded: "Darling, I didn’t say anything!"
Since they were using Divine Sense to communicate, others couldn’t hear, so Long Rui thought Xuexue was speaking to him.
Xuexue seemed to be deep in thought and didn’t pay attention to Long Rui.
This made Long Rui panic. Since a demonic possession was breaking out in the Capital, could it be that his wife was also affected?
It’s said that those possessed by demons start with an expressionless face and avoid people, just like Xuexue’s current expression.
"Darling, darling, what’s wrong? Are you alright?" Long Rui quickly stepped forward, holding Xuexue’s shoulders anxiously and shaking her.
When Xuexue was shaken by him, she immediately snapped back to reality and said: "Prince, don’t shake me; I’m dizzy."
"Darling, you’re alright. That’s great." Long Rui breathed a sigh of relief, reached out to pull Xuexue tightly into his arms.
His arms involuntarily tightened, showing just how frantic he was when he thought Xuexue was possessed.
"Cough cough...! You’re crushing me, Big Bull, loosen up." Long Rui’s strength was too great, and Xuexue couldn’t breathe, instinctively calling out his former name.
"Darling, it’s great you’re alright." Long Rui hurriedly released Xuexue, his tone filled with wild joy.
"I’m fine. What could be wrong?" Xuexue was bewildered, standing here perfectly fine, just chatting with Xiao Taohong. What actually happened? Why was Long Rui so panicked?
"Darling, you gave me a scare. I thought you were possessed!"
"Nonsense, I couldn’t possibly be possessed."
"Yes, right, nonsense... My darling is so healthy, how could she be ill?" Long Rui followed Xuexue in spitting twice.
"Prince, I was just chatting with Xiao Taohong!"
"Oh, so that’s what it was. You scared me. What were you talking about? So engrossed."
"She said Zhao Yin is also possessed. For now, we can’t perform the Gu Solving on the Insect People, otherwise, the evil spirit would get transferred to them. That would be a dead end."
"Then... what should we do?"
Upon hearing this, Long Rui was stunned as well. Finally, capturing Zhao Yin to rescue those dozen poor Insect Persons, only to find out he too was possessed.
Xuexue said helplessly: "What else can we do? We can only try to cure Zhao Yin’s possession so we can perform the Gu Solving on the Insect People. If Zhao Yin unfortunately dies from the possession, then those Insect People can only die along with him."
Long Rui couldn’t believe things had escalated to this point. However, since it had happened, the only solution was to try hard to find a cure for the possession. Whether it works or not, the fate of the Insect People will be up to the heavens.
