Chapter 419: The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (One Hundred and Sixty-Nine)

Cui Li glanced at the man and continued, "For a cold-blooded puppet who only knows how to obey his master's orders, it's normal for him to like blood and gore, but it's surprising that he likes gold and silver treasures. Fortunately, the Prince of Qi is busy evading capture and his attention is not on you. Otherwise, do you think he would be able to safely leave me, a hostage, in your care?"

Shuka took out a piece of gold from his chest, and with a push of two fingers, the gold sank into the tree stump.

"My likes have nothing to do with you."

"Of course it has nothing to do with me. Whether you're simply interested in gold and silver treasures, secretly buying medicine, or making plans for the future, I don't need to know. I just need to know that we could become allies."

Shuka took the gold out of the tree stump, played with it in his hands, and sneered, "Why do you want to be my ally? Just based on a few words from you, you expect me to help you escape?"

Cui Li shook her head and said, "I don't want to run away. You don't want to live in a corner like this, otherwise why would you wrap yourself up so tightly? Do you realize that you are different from others and don't want to be looked at differently?"

Cui Li glanced at the black-robed man in front of her. Unfortunately, she couldn't see his expression. However, the fact that he allowed her to continue talking showed that this man was not that cold and heartless, and was quite patient with her.

"When we first met, you didn't even reveal your eyes. In front of these Qi people who knew you well, you only showed them your eyes. They didn't truly accept you, and you didn't truly trust them. And the reason they dared to hand me over to you was not only because of your superior martial arts, but also because they could check and balance you. If you were to betray them, or even harbor inappropriate thoughts, you would be in great pain, wouldn't you?"

"I, Shuka, and those Qi people don't need to trust or accept each other. If you keep talking nonsense, we will leave now."

Cui Li's mouth was dry. He took another sip of water and said with a smile, "Don't worry. Although I can't let you live like a real person in this world, I can make you look like one and free you from the control of the Qi people. You've been an executioner for so long, don't you want to experience the taste of freedom? Don't you want to experience the joy of living for yourself?"

Shuka put down his sword and sneered, "Do you think I will believe your nonsense? You are just a palace resident, what ability do you have? You are just trying to get me to let you go. I have already checked many ancient books. People who are forcibly resurrected like me can never be reincarnated again. When they die, they will disappear from the world. I should have lost my mind long ago. The fact that I can still maintain my sanity now is because I forced it."

He even checked ancient books. It seems that Shuka is quite concerned about his own condition.

Yes, anyone who suddenly finds out that he is not dead will want to find out the reason.

Cui Li shook his head and said, "Leave? Why should I leave now? It's not the right time yet. I won't leave even if you drive me away. Transactions must be made with sincerity. You will see my sincerity."

"Then show your sincerity. If you dare to deceive me, I will make you regret coming into this world."

"Wait a moment, find me a set of silver needles first, and I'll help you stimulate the medicinal properties of the Mu Ming Flower."

Shu Ka didn't say anything. He hugged Cui Li's waist and used his lightness skills to leave the place.

When they rested again, Shuka went to find food. He also found a secret place for Cui Li and tied her to a century-old tree for fear that she would escape.

"I've sprinkled insect repellent powder on you and the tree trunk. Stay here and don't run. This is three meters from the ground. It would be bad if you fall."

Cui Li was really speechless. "I'm a pregnant woman about to give birth. If you tie me to such a high tree, I'll be scared."

Shuka held a handkerchief in his hand and said coldly, "Are you still afraid? Then go ahead and cry. I'll be back soon."

After Shuka finished speaking, he covered Cui Li's mouth with her handkerchief and disappeared in front of Cui Li.

Qiqi screamed in Cui Li's mind, "This damn straight man, does he know how to be gentle with women? Host, let's ignore him and run! Let him go back and be killed by the Qi people in anger!"
