"Do you think that if we open this place, the Three-Headed Serpent will sense it?" The more I looked at this secret chamber, the more I felt it wouldn't be so simple. The hall was filled with rare treasures, and even the inner core of the Three-Headed Serpent was here, so whatever was inside must be extremely important.
"I think so too, and with our current abilities, we definitely won't be able to open this secret chamber."
"But what if the exit is inside?"
Nine Charm remained silent, putting away his casual expression, and looked at me seriously as he said, "Right now, there are only two options: one is to wait for your companions to find this place, along with what you mentioned about the White Soul being able to save you. The second is that you can defeat the monster outside."
Suddenly, Nine Charm laughed lightly and continued, "Of course, the second option is completely impossible. You won't have a chance to grow stronger before they find you and eliminate you."
"Nine Charm, what's the difference between what you just said and saying nothing? Let me ask you, do you know where that Three-Headed Serpent comes from?"
Nine Charm shrugged and replied, "I don't know."
Weren't we supposed to be in this together? Why did Nine Charm seem so unconcerned? Wasn't he afraid that if I died, it would harm him too?
I looked at Nine Charm in confusion.
Suddenly, Nine Charm's face was very close to mine as he whispered, "I know what you're thinking."
"Huh?" I accidentally exclaimed. Does he really know?
"Don't worry, I will definitely take you out."
Is this a promise?
I chuckled lightly at Nine Charm, not responding further, only knowing that I trusted him.
"Clap, clap, clap, clap, ah, how touching!" a familiar male voice rang out.
"Who is it?!" I shouted. How could there be someone else here? It was impossible.
Could it be that the Three-Headed Serpent has come?!
Nine Charm shielded me behind him, his voice calm and steady as he said, "You should have appeared long ago."
Had Nine Charm already noticed someone? Do we know each other? Why didn't he tell me?
A series of questions flooded my mind until the person revealed himself, leaving me completely stunned. How could it be him?
"Truly worthy of the Goddess; there are always people to protect you wherever you go?"
"What are you doing here?"
He didn’t answer. Instead, he continued speaking to himself, "Your life is really fortunate, but what does that matter? You will still die. The entire Holy Spirit Village will eventually be destroyed, hahahaha."
He had gone mad. Although I didn’t know the reason, his current state was utterly deranged.
"Before that happens, I will make sure you die here," Nine Charm said coolly.
"Heh heh, come kill me then. Just a word from me and the Mossan Serpent Sovereign will know you're here. Do you really think you can escape?"
Is the Mosang he mentioned actually the name of the Three-Headed Serpent?
"What do you want, Bai Li?"
I walked over to Nine Charm and looked at Bai Li in front of me. Although he was currently in a frenzied state, he was undoubtedly a smart person who knew what he wanted; otherwise, he wouldn't have arranged all of this or appeared before us.
"Fine, since I can appear here, I can also let you leave." Bai Li had a fierce expression, revealing a sinister smile.
"Go ahead, what do you want in exchange?" I certainly couldn't believe that things would end so simply. Looking at the greed in Bai Li's eyes, I spoke up.
"Very well, I want you."
Although I knew that what Bai Li wanted was definitely related to us, I didn't expect him to say that.
"You must be dreaming!" Before I could respond, Nine Charm pulled me and turned to leave.
"Oh really? Even if you search for it, you won't find the exit because only I can take you out!" Bai Li continued to laugh, his laughter making me feel uncomfortable all over.
"Nine Charm, let's hear what he wants to do. Besides, you already knew he was here; isn't that why you wanted to draw him out?"
"Xi Meng, I—" Nine Charm ultimately didn't speak, slowly lowering his hand with a somewhat despondent expression.
Actually, I wanted to say that I didn't blame him; I just cared more about the person in front of us right now.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Alright, Goddess is straightforward. You just have to promise me that no matter what I ask you to do in the future, you will do it all. It's not time to tell you yet."
"No way, are you asking me to kill someone for you too?"
"Shut up, what I say goes! If you're unwilling, I can't guarantee when the Mossan Serpent Sovereign will discover you."
First, hold him back; my intuition tells me that Bai Li must be a key figure.
"Fine, I promise you."
I glanced at Nine Charm, who still wore that same expression. Sigh, I'll explain everything properly once we get out.
"Follow me."
We followed Bai Li in a line, with Nine Charm in the middle and me at the back as we headed toward the secret chamber.
Bai Li muttered something, and the door to the secret chamber slowly opened.
Everything went dark; neither Nine Charm nor I reacted in time. Bai Li quickly moved between us, pushing Nine Charm away while grabbing my hand.
By the time I slightly regained my senses, I saw that we had retreated back to the hall we were in earlier, but Nine Charm was nowhere to be seen.
I shouted, "Where did you take Nine Charm?"
"Hehe, our Goddess really shows mercy everywhere," Bai Li chuckled.
"Shut up and answer my question, or I'll kill you!" I felt an overwhelming urge to kill, gripping Bai Li's clothes tightly.
"I promised to let you go, didn't I? I just let him leave," Bai Li said, gently stroking my hand.
Hearing this, I sighed in relief. For now, I would trust Bai Li. I shook off his hand; he disgusted me.
"Why don't you ask me why I won't let you go?"
"Hmph, didn't I promise you that I would listen to you?"
"Hahaha, you really make me like you."
I walked aside and ignored Bai Li, closing my eyes to meditate. I needed to calm my mind while waiting for them to find me. Sighing, I realized I had no interest in Bai Li's plans; it just seemed like I was in a passive position now.
"You know, I hate it when people betray me. Don't disappoint me, Xi Meng."
After a long pause, Bai Li's ethereal voice came through—no madness, no malice. I opened my eyes slightly but saw no trace of him.
It seemed that this Holy Spirit Village was filled with secrets. Reflecting on it, Bai Li earlier seemed to harbor unwillingness, despair, and loneliness...
Shaking my head, I closed my eyes and continued to meditate.
