Chapter 139 Dark Elf 8
The Coral Heart was something they promised the Mermaid Prince. Will knew Xuan Yuanwu's plan; he must be using it to obtain the Water Spirit Essence.
If he gave it to Qingyu, it would mean that he had betrayed Xuanyuan Wu and the team.
but--
A hint of madness flashed in Will's eyes, but he curled his lips into a smile and said in a doting tone, "Of course."
You can only belong to me.
Having gotten what she wanted, Qingyu calmed down and watched helplessly as Xuanyuan Wu and the others reluctantly agreed, and then together they planned how to defeat the Octopus King.
Just as they were discussing, the mirror on Xuanyuan Wu's body lit up.
This is the magic mirror they use to communicate; it usually only lights up when Vido contacts them.
At this moment, everyone looked at the mirror, but none of them dared to take it.
They felt guilty for not being able to find a way to save Vido.
Qingyu's eyes flickered slightly, and she secretly sent out a burst of spiritual energy. The others only felt a gust of wind pass by—
The mirror then reflected Vido's face.
"Xuanyuan."
As her name suggests, Vido was as gentle as a flower, speaking softly. At this moment, she appeared even weaker and paler than usual, yet a smile graced her face.
"Sister Vido, how are you feeling now?" Ling An was the first to step forward and ask, her eyes filled with worry.
Vido gently shook her head. "I'm fine, you don't need to worry. I just sensed a familiar fluctuation of spiritual energy. Is there any progress on your end?"
Xuanyuan Wu looked ashamed and opened his mouth, "Wei Duo, we haven't found a way to save you yet, I'm sorry."
Vido lowered her eyes, and from Qingyu's perspective, she could clearly see the bitterness on her lips and the way she clenched her clothes.
She forced a slight smile, her tone tinged with relief, "It's alright. Actually, I forgot to tell you, I recently contacted an ancient elven sage. He's also a healer, with healing skills far superior to mine. He's been treating me lately, and I'm much better now."
She paused, seemingly a little nervous, and continued with a slightly unnatural expression, "It seems he has a way to deal with the Octopus King. I'll send you some clues he told me."
After he finished speaking, a string of mysterious runes appeared on the mirror.
Michael quickly wrote it down, and after studying it carefully, his eyes lit up. "This mentions that the King Octopus has a fatal weakness. If we can accurately attack that spot, we can win easily."
Everyone was overjoyed upon hearing this and was preparing to adjust their battle plan according to the clues when Vido added, "I'm on my way here too. Maybe I can be of some help."
Xuanyuan Wu was taken aback. "Can you manage on your own?"
Vido smiled calmly, "Don't worry, that old man will come with me. With him there, I'll be fine."
The group relaxed considerably and were about to breathe a sigh of relief when Xuan Yuanwu suddenly asked, "We didn't say where we were, how did you know we were fighting the Octopus King?"
His gaze was deep and revealed a hint of coldness. Vido's smile froze for a moment, then she quickly recovered and looked at Michael. "Michael told me. We've always had a good relationship, haven't we?"
Michael shuddered, and when Xuan Yuanwu looked over, he tried his best to appear agreeable, but inside he was in a panic.
He didn't know why Vido lied, but he really did...
He had some different feelings for Vido.
After a few seconds of silence, Michael jokingly said in a seemingly casual tone, "I didn't expect you to actually remember. I was just saying it offhand."
Vido smiled and said, "We are a team, so naturally I have to keep an eye on you so I can help you whenever needed."
Ling'an happily chimed in, "Then Sister Vido, hurry up and come, we're waiting for you!"
After the other side disappeared from the mirror, none of the three except Ling An had a smile on their face.
This made Ling'an realize that something was wrong. She looked at Xuan Yuanwu and asked, "Xuan Yuan? What's wrong with you? Aren't you happy that Sister Wei Duo is here?"
Xuan Yuanwu's expression was extremely complicated. He had always had a good sixth sense and observation skills, and he found that Wei Duo's words and expression just now were very problematic.
But he refused to believe that Vido would betray him.
He didn't speak, but turned to Will and said, "Come with me."
Will's eyes flickered, and he subconsciously tried to hide Qingyu, but Qingyu floated directly onto the top of his head, arrogant and smug.
"Go with her." The melodious and captivating female voice carried a languid quality, causing Will's heart to flutter. He pursed his lips and strode after her.
The two arrived at a secluded spot, where Xuanyuan Wu suddenly turned around and grabbed Will by the neck. Will struggled to breathe and his face turned bright red.
Xuan Yuanwu's eyes turned red, and he roared in a low voice, "You've already seen her, haven't you? Where is she? You'd better tell me the truth."
From the very first moment he saw the beauty, Xuan Yuanwu had two guesses: either she was a merman, or she had always been by their side...
He had suspected something was wrong with Will before, and during this time he observed him from time to time and found that the latter would occasionally talk to himself, which made Xuan Yuanwu even more convinced that Will must have seen that person long ago.
but……
How could you do that?!
He wasn't the first one!
Thinking of this, Xuan Yuanwu was so jealous that his heart was about to explode. If he didn't still have some reason, he would have strangled the other person to death!
With difficulty breathing, Will managed to say, "I don't know what you're talking about."
Xuan Yuanwu tightened his grip even more. "Don't think I didn't see something fly up to your head just now. That must have been her, right?"
Will was startled, and shook his head with an even more sincere and sorrowful expression.
When the two are locked in a standoff, neither will give in nor let go.
Just as Will was about to faint, Qingyu slowly appeared.
She vaguely remembered the woman in white, slender and charming. She said as if watching a commotion, "Let him go. Why are you being so fierce?"
After all, Will was a follower of Qingyu.
Upon seeing Qingyu, Xuanyuan Wu slowly released his grip, and Weir collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
Ignoring the people on the ground, he stared intently at the person in front of him, asking, "Who exactly are you? What is your purpose in approaching us?"
Is it because you have a crush on him?
Qingyu chuckled softly, "What? Can't you recognize my voice?"
Xuanyuan Wu frowned, then his expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise, "You're that woman from Beauty City? We've met you before!"
Qingyu raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. Was this person's reaction wrong?
Shouldn't you feel that you've ruined his plans?
"You're very happy." Qingyu scoffed coldly, her tone full of disdain.
Xuanyuan Wu seemed not to hear, and his mood instantly brightened. He stepped forward and said, "Of course, but I'm sorry I didn't know you before. And about what you said about me wiping out my clan... I really don't remember when I did it. If you're really angry, you can stab me a few times, and I won't fight back."
His expression was serious, and his eyes were sincere, as if he could take out a knife and hand it to Qingyu the moment she agreed.
This left Qingyu speechless; it was truly...
They were being excessively enthusiastic.
“Don’t believe him…” Will coughed as he struggled to his feet. “Xuanyuan Wu has many women and is always fond of sweet talk!”
Qingyu glanced at Will in surprise, astonished that he could say such a thing. She then turned her gaze back to Xuanyuan Wu, and said with a half-smile, "You are quite magnanimous. But why should I believe you?"
Xuan Yuanwu withdrew his icy gaze, his expression softening, his handsome brows and bright eyes revealing a sincere smile. "I know words are meaningless, but I'm willing to prove it with actions. I'll go through fire and water for whatever you command."
Qingyu stared at him intently, then chuckled. Her alluring eyes, with their upturned corners, combined with her clear gaze, made her appear both innocent and charming.
"I don't need you to go through fire and water, I just need you to... give up everything, are you willing?"
As she spoke, she took a few steps closer to Xuan Yuanwu, close enough to feel her hot breath and the unique fragrance of a woman, which was intoxicating.
Xuan Yuanwu's heart pounded, his face flushed slightly, and desire gradually arose in his eyes. He swallowed, about to speak, when Qingyu raised her slender finger and lightly touched Xuan Yuanwu's chest, as if she had touched his heart.
"Your heart is beating so fast... Will you say yes?"
