Chapter 188: Persuasion?
“You two, stop! Let’s talk this out!”
Seeing that the two were about to escalate the conflict, Su Yan quickly stood up to stop them.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu frowned. The situation was critical now. Why was he doing this? Didn’t he know how dangerous the situation was?
Hu Xiaoyu didn’t know what was happening. She warily took a few steps back to distance herself. Who was this sudden enemy? Why did her voice sound so familiar?
Seeing the person’s appearance clearly in the dim moonlight, Hu Xiaoyu was shocked, and then her face instantly darkened.
“Don’t fight! I know her.”
Su Yan quickly explained, briefly clarifying the situation.
After hearing it, Xiao Wu’s brows furrowed tightly. This beautiful fox-eared girl was actually the little fox that had been following her junior brother? The demon beast he had casually saved actually had such a special identity?
“I didn’t know either. I can only say it’s a coincidence.”
Su Yan sighed helplessly.
Xiao Wu didn’t speak. At this moment, she was speechless in her heart. She had been vigilant against her junior sister all this time, but she hadn’t expected her junior sister to fail, and for a pet to steal him away instead.
“It seems I’ve underestimated my junior brother’s charm. I have to pay attention to all the females that appear around him in the future.”
Xiao Wu thought to herself, her eyes fixed on Hu Xiaoyu.
After recognizing the person, Hu Xiaoyu instantly understood. She had been wondering how Su Yan could have escaped. It turned out that someone was helping him. But now that she had encountered them, even the heavens were on her side.
“You want to leave? I won’t allow it!”
“But you can’t beat my senior sister, right?”
“Does she dare to make a move?”
Hearing Hu Xiaoyu’s words, Su Yan fell silent.
Although Hu Xiaoyu’s strength was not as good as Xiao Wu’s, she had a magic treasure to protect her. It was impossible to take her down in a few moves. If the commotion was too big and attracted others’ attention, then they would be finished.
Hu Xiaoyu saw through Su Yan’s concerns and said, narrowing her eyes, “Now I’ll give you two choices. One, go back obediently, and I can pretend that nothing happened. Two, insist on leaving, and I’ll shout for help. At that time, not only will you be caught, but she will also be in danger.”
If she could, Hu Xiaoyu really wanted to teach Xiao Wu a lesson. When she was still a little fox, she had disliked Xiao Wu for a long time. She was always so close to Su Yan, and she didn’t even blush.
But a fantasy was just a fantasy. Her strength was not as good as others’. She was helpless. Even now, it was the same.
Hearing Hu Xiaoyu’s words, Su Yan didn’t know how to react for a moment. Of course, he didn’t want to stay here, but if he insisted on leaving, what about his senior sister?
“Even if I’m caught and taken back, she won’t do anything to me. But it’s different for my senior sister.”
Su Yan was no fool. He knew that because of him, the two of them disliked each other. Although his senior sister probably wouldn’t be harmed because of her identity, she wouldn’t be able to escape some humiliation. Hu Xiaoyu would definitely do that.
At this thought, Su Yan had already made a decision in his heart. He was just about to speak when Xiao Wu interrupted him.
“You don’t have to worry about it. I have my ways.”
After saying this, Xiao Wu turned to look at Hu Xiaoyu.
“I won’t choose either, because there’s a better choice. If I capture you and threaten you with your safety, do you think we can leave this place?”
Although fighting with Hu Xiaoyu would alert others, it would take time for them to get here. Xiao Wu was confident that with her strength, she could definitely take her down in a few moves, and that would be enough.
Hearing Xiao Wu say this, Su Yan’s heart jumped.
“Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”
Su Yan tugged at Xiao Wu’s skirt. Now, they were just escaping and hadn’t done anything else. Even if they were caught in the end, it wouldn’t be a big deal. But if they made a move and accidentally hurt the other party, then things would be serious.
“You don’t have to worry about this!”
Xiao Wu said firmly, her eyes coldly looking at the other party. Hu Xiaoyu wanted Su Yan to stay. Don’t even think about it!
Hu Xiaoyu’s pupils contracted, and she subconsciously took two steps back. But she knew very well that this little distance was nothing to Xiao Wu.
“Damn it!”
Hu Xiaoyu clenched her fists. Just as Xiao Wu had said, she was no match for her and would definitely be taken down in a few moves. Then it would be troublesome.
After she was hijacked, her mother would definitely come to rescue her. In order not to let Xiao Wu hurt her, she would definitely use special means, such as a move that would make her lose consciousness instantly.
But this kind of move was often accompanied by strong side effects. It was a mental-level attack. If she accidentally made the other person a fool, it was possible.
And Xiao Wu was the daughter of the Transcendent Immortal Sect’s Sect Master. If that kind of thing happened, things would be terrible!
At this thought, Hu Xiaoyu’s brows furrowed tightly.
Under the dark night, the situation had fallen into a stalemate.
Su Yan looked at the two of them, his face full of anxiety. If he could, he would have wanted to escape immediately. But things were developing in a bad direction, and the result might be something he didn’t want to see.
“Can’t we just talk it out?”
Su Yan said helplessly.
Xiao Wu didn’t speak.
Talk? What was there to talk about!
No matter how they talked, this person would not let them go, because she could not leave Su Yan behind. Negotiating with her was just a waste of time, and they just happened to not have time.
Seeing that Xiao Wu was unmoved, Su Yan instantly understood her thoughts and turned to look at Hu Xiaoyu with a helpless expression.
Hu Xiaoyu didn’t know what to do at this moment. She was unwilling to let Su Yan go, but if she didn’t, things would be troublesome.
“Damn it! If only I had the strength!”
Hu Xiaoyu thought it over and over and finally concluded that it was all because of her lack of strength. If she had the strength, how could this situation have happened? When she found out that Su Yan had escaped, she could have just captured the two of them.
She thought a lot in her heart, but only a moment had passed in reality.
Hu Xiaoyu looked up, and her heart immediately turned cold.
Because she saw the look in Su Yan’s eyes, a mix of helplessness and a hint of pleading. Had she made him so troubled? Why had things turned out like this!
Hu Xiaoyu thought of the happy times the two of them had once had together. Compared to the look in his eyes now, her heart suddenly became a little confused.
Was she really doing the right thing? To ignore his wishes and forcefully imprison him by her side… wasn’t this repaying kindness with enmity?
Hu Xiaoyu thought a lot and reflected in her heart.
Perhaps she really had been wrong.
But even so, if Xiao Wu weren’t here, she would still have been willful and would have forcefully kept him by her side.
But now that Xiao Wu was here, and she was facing a dilemma, and seeing the look in Su Yan’s eyes, Hu Xiaoyu finally softened.
“Maybe I shouldn’t have forced you.”
Hearing Hu Xiaoyu’s words, Su Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.
From what she was saying, it seemed she wanted to let him go.
