Chapter 152: Making Lingyuan Give Up Everything (3)

At the moment Yun Zui showed signs of confusion, Ling Yuan had already spoken: “Little one, if you were not human, I would feel very fortunate, because I need your help…”

He too sensed Yun Zui’s extraordinary nature.

In the Ice Palace, a place with such solid walls, she had somehow managed to escape.

There were no tunnels, and the inner chamber’s doors couldn’t be opened from inside. Yun Zui had even drugged him at the time, making escape seem impossible—yet she did it.

Furthermore, everyone on the continent knew about Yun Zui’s resurrection a year after her death, so he had no choice but to believe she might not be human.

Now, with Yun Zui herself saying she wasn’t human, he naturally believed it.

Yun Zui frowned. Apart from Chi Mie, Ling Yuan was the most formidable figure on the entire continent. He needed her help?

She looked at Ling Yuan suspiciously. Ling Yuan seemed somewhat saddened and immediately said, “I want you to cast a spell to take me to a place with deserts.”

Only by going to the desert could he possibly find Su Rantong!

He now had enough power and resources, yet he could not find Su Rantong, nor that desert.

He felt utterly helpless.

“Are you joking? The desert disappeared hundreds of years ago!” Yun Zui said helplessly.

Though she had said this before, and indeed no desert had been seen on the continent for centuries, Yun Zui had actually appeared in a desert on the very first day she crossed over.

That was a fact, but she couldn’t admit the desert still existed; otherwise, Ling Yuan would become a constant nuisance.

“You won’t help me? You can bring the dead back to life, but you can’t take me to the desert?” Ling Yuan’s voice rose slightly.

He was unwilling and angry.

Yun Zui was speechless. She didn’t have that power.

Resurrection was Heaven’s arrangement, something special. She didn’t know which lifetime her soul had been split into three parts and reincarnated separately.

That was why she had the chance to be reborn. As for traveling to the desert, that required fate.

She and Chi Mie had not only been to the desert but also to the wilderness.

That was probably all due to fate.

“You overestimate me,” Yun Zui said wearily. She didn’t want to get involved with Ling Yuan more than necessary.

In truth, Yun Zui felt that Ling Yuan, though seemingly gentler than Chi Mie, was actually a perverse, mercurial demon.

Ling Yuan seemed to get angry but then fell silent. Suddenly, he took out a notebook and said, “This contains information about the assassination of your buyer and the transaction times. Everything is recorded clearly. If you agree, I’ll give you this ledger.”

Yun Zui’s gaze fell upon the ledger, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes. Then she said, “I didn’t expect the head of Ling You Hall to be so untrustworthy. If this matter gets out, will Ling You Hall still receive business?”

Ling Yuan’s response stunned Yun Zui: “I don’t care. As long as you take me to the desert, I will give you everything!”

Yun Zui truly hadn’t expected Ling Yuan to make such a great sacrifice, all just to go to the desert in search of someone.

“Sorry, even if you gave me everything, I might not care. As for who the buyer is, I already know; no need to trouble yourself telling me.” With that, Yun Zui turned and walked in another direction.

If he did not follow, she would leave.

Ling Yuan remained where he was. She didn’t care about all he had?

That must be an exaggeration.

His status was so high; what if he offered Yun Zui his position as Hall Master?

Would she then be willing to make the exchange?

If Ling Yuan voiced this thought, perhaps many on the continent would abandon everything in search of that desert every day.
