He was here, so she had a chance!
The jail was already very dark. As those footsteps approached, it became even more ominous and colder, like the very depths of hell. They shuddered when they saw the man in charge of this place.
“Second Brother, I’ve been framed,” Si Rong looked up at Si Mobai and propped himself up, anxiously trying to explain himself.
Tu Xiang gripped the cell bars tightly. “Wargod, let’s strike a deal. You let me out of South Winds Nation, and I’ll tell you a secret about the Feng Clan.”
Tu Xiupei’s clothes were a mess, and her fair skin could be glimpsed through her open collar. She gently shook the chain between her slim wrists to make a noise and looked at Si Mobai with a pale face and distant eyes. She called to him weakly yet coquettishly, “Wargod…”
Men generally used their lower bodies to think rather than their brains. If an ugly woman like Feng Tianlan could seduce such a cold man as the Wargod, Tu Xiupei was confident that she could seduce him too.
Si Mobai looked like he hadn’t heard anything. He didn’t even look at her. He stopped in front of Tu Xiang. “What secret?”
Lan’er wanted to know who was behind everything, so he had to ask.
“The treasure—the Feng family treasure. It can command Spiritual Emperors. So, if you let me out, I can help you become the crown prince and eventually emperor. With the help of the Feng family treasure, you can unify all of the Guiyuan Continent and become its ultimate ruler.”
Tu Xiang offered him the possibility of power because that’s what he thought all men wanted. All princes wanted to be emperor, and all emperors wanted to be the ultimate ruler over all the earth.
“That’s it?” Si Mobai didn’t even twitch an eyebrow. He was not interested.
Tu Xiang was stunned when he saw how Si Mobai was utterly unaffected by his offer. What man didn’t like having power? He couldn’t believe it.
“Or tell you what. I’ll let Pei’er marry you. If that’s not enough, there’s also Tianlan. Her face is disfigured, but her skin is perfect—white, soft, and smooth. She’s ideal for warming your bed.”
Tu Xiang thought that all men loved money, power, and beautiful women. Pei’er was the prettiest girl in all of South Winds Nation and had the destiny of a phoenix, plus she was a genius. The Wargod had helped Tianlan out a few times, so he was likely also interested in her. There was no harm in giving away one more daughter.
Si Mobai lifted his cold eyes and sent wind shooting out from his palm. Tu Xiang flew from the gate and crashed hard into the wall. He landed with a loud thud and spat out a mouthful of blood.
“You-your-Your Highness…” Tu Xiang coughed violently. He didn’t understand why he had been struck like this. “If you don’t fancy beautiful women, then I can find some beautiful men for you…”
Before he finished talking, Tu Xiang suddenly felt the air around him become as cold as winter. A terrifying pressure constricted him, making it hard for him to breathe. A pair of invisible hands was now choking his neck.
“War…” Tu Xiang found it difficult to breathe. His eyes were wide open, and his face turned blue. He was going to suffocate to death. Tu Xiang had no idea why the Wargod wanted to kill him. What had he said wrong?
Tu Xiupei grabbed the cell bars and shouted in horror with a pale face, “Wargod, let my father go, I beg you! I will repay you for this.”
“Pei’er.” Xu Jiayi saw Tu Xiupei start taking her clothes off and frowned.
Tu Xiupei was taking her clothes off quickly, and the sound of the clothes rubbing against the clanking metal chains was strangely alluring. She cried out in that weak and pitiful but coquettish voice of hers, “Your Highness, I can exchange my body in return for my father’s life.”
She heard footsteps and saw Feng Tianlan was walking over. Tu Xiupei started stripping even more quickly and was now completely naked. “I’ve taken everything off. Your Highness, you have to honor your promise.”
