Chapter 396
Chapter 396 “Threat (1)”
“HoHoHo,” the green snake appears unfazed by the threat, “If you want me to let your fat little friend go then drink this bottle of poison. Only then can you save him.”
With that said, Qing Luan readily tosses the bottle over to the boy with her tail.
Bai Xiachen didn’t immediately move, instead the baby boy only eyed the poison in front of him like he’s contemplating something: “Mother said there must be a reason for hatred in this world. For you to use my friend to lure me out here then there must be a purpose, what is it?”
“Fine, it’s not like it matters anyways so I’ll tell you.” Qing Luan’s voice suddenly became sweet and gentlem like she’s in love, “You can only blame yourself for being the Demon King’s son. If I don’t control you then how can I become the Queen of the Demon Realm in the future?”
Demon King?
“You mean my baddie father?” Wrinkling his cute little forehead, only then does the boy understand this was his father’s fault again.
“Who allowed you to address him like that?” Qing Luan’s expression instantly turned sharp, snapping back at the kid for the rude remark, “Just because you’re his son doesn’t mean you can sully his majestic name. He is our king, our god!”
Puckering his lips in displeasure at being lectured, Bai Xiachen makes a heavy grunt and refused to acknowledge that last part, “What is it that you want in controlling me then?”
Of course, he didn’t forget to signal his friend Little Rice to be on the prowl when he gives the sign.
“I’ve already told you my purpose for today. As for controlling you, that’s none of your concern right now. But enough of this. If you want to save your chubby friend here then drink that poison, otherwise….”
To emphasize her point, Qing Luan narrows in her serpanty eyes and slammed her tail at the cliff, thus causing Wang Xiaopeng to cry profusely due to the scare.
“What sort of ability is that to threaten others using a hostage? Or are you afraid of fighting my big brother in a one on one combat?”
As the old saying goes: one can’t lose their stance even if they lose the fight.
Although Wang Xiaopeng has been imprisoned, but that doesn’t mean he will act like an obedient sob and do nothing. As such, Qing Luan’s complexion could only get colder and darker with each passing curse from the boy.
“If you keep struggling then I will throw you down the cliff immediately,” her voice seething with anger.
The threat definitely scared the chubby somewhat, causing him to stiffen up. Even so, that doesn’t meant that mouth wouldn’t keep yapping.
If you have the ability then toss me down there. I’m not afraid of you. After nine years and I will be another man again. By then I will return and settle the score with you!”
As proud as that statement was, Qing Luan didn’t take it to heart and only revealed a pang of distain from her mouth, Nothing but a human and he wants me to take him seriously?
Tired of dealing with the yapper mouth, Qing Luan returns her distracted attention back to the baby boy: “I’ll count to three. If you don’t take the poison by then, I will toss him over the cliff.”
As unwilling as this was for Bai Xiachen, that hand could only reach out for the ominous bottle.
“Xiachen!” Wang Xiaopeng became increasingly urgent in his voice, “This snake is obviously scheming something bad. Don’t listen to her! At most I will just die. I may be afraid of death but I will not be turned into a coward. When it’s over just avenge me!”
Knowing this wasn’t working as that hand inched closer and closer to the poison, Wang Xiaopeng immediately shifts his focus to the majestic tiger instead: “Little Rice, go take my big brother and flee. Go find Sister Bai Yan and get revenge for me!”
Sadly, no matter what sort of pleading the chubby did, Little Rice wouldn’t budge. That look in the tiger’s eye showed he was waiting for an opportunity.
Of course, Qing Luan wouldn’t miss this reaction. Staying on guard throughout the confrontation, she was ready to toss the chubby down the cliff at a moment’s notice.
