Feng Wu heard the footsteps outside get fainter, and she gave Chaoge a grumpy look.
“Do you really want me to go?”
Chaoge yelled at Feng Wu, “Go away! Go away!”
Feng Wu said, “I’ll leave, then.”
Chaoge snorted. “You sound as if I’ll stop you. You’re so ridiculous.”
However, before she could go on, Feng Wu took off her mask.
“Ahhhh —”
Chaoge shrieked.
“Shhh —” Feng Wu silenced her with her finger.
Chaoge immediately nodded, but she still couldn’t contain her excitement.
“Ahhh — Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu, is it really you? Oh god! Oh my god! I knew you would come save me, and here you are! Xiao Wu —”
Chaoge was so excited that she wanted to run to Feng Wu, but with all the chains, she couldn’t move.
Feng Wu rubbed her head grumpily. “Do you still want me to go now?”
“No, Xiao Wu is the best! I don’t want you to go —” Chaoge, the tough girl, had turned completely soft.
They hugged each other and cheered for a while before they returned to themselves.
“I’ll get you out.” Feng Wu then tried to remove the chains.
“Wait.” Chaoge stopped her.
Feng Wu looked up and was confused.
Chaoge smiled wryly. “Xiao Wu, you can’t get me out yet.”
Feng Wu asked, “Why?”
Chaoge said, “The chains aren’t just locked, there’s a seal on them as well. Master Jue will know as soon as you tamper with it.”
Feng Wu said, “Don’t worry about it. I can take care of him.”
Chaoge realized that she was right. From what she had observed, Master Jue definitely had a thing for Feng Wu, no, for Catnine!
But Chaoge still smiled bitterly. “Xiao Wu, it still won’t work.”
Feng Wu frowned. “Why?”
Chaoge said, “I have something planted in my body. They told me that it’ll explode if I step out of this room.”
Feng Wu’s eyes widened.
Could something so horrible really exist?
She immediately examined Chaoge’s body, and her eyes widened when she was done.
“There really is a small black dot on your chest over your heart, and it’s pulsating, as if it’s alive. It’s…” Feng Wu drew in her breath.
What she didn’t say was that this living creature was made from metal and a lot like the bomb Chaoge had described.
“Damn it!”
If Feng Wu had felt a little guilty about killing Catnine at first, it was completely gone now.
She wanted to kill Master Jue right there and then!
“I can’t get you out now. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable…” Taking a deep breath, Feng Wu looked at Chaoge. “Chaoge, do you trust me?”
“Why do you even ask?” Chaoge said grumpily. “You’re the only person I trust in my life.”
It pained Feng Wu to hear that.
Of course she knew the answer.
When Master Jue had told Chaoge to choose between life and friendship, she willingly gave up her life to protect Feng Wu…
How was Feng Wu going to repay such a friendship?
