Chapter 173 – Do you want to take a gamble? (1)
Small snowflakes gently fell down between Ruan Qiuqiu and Qing Ruyi.
Her ears felt hot, but Ruan Qiuqiu didn’t touch them. Standing in front of the slightly hunched over Grandma Ruyu, she straightened her back. There wasn’t any hesitation in her eyes.
In front of the half-fiend and half-demon, who had once walked down that difficult and dim path, she once again said, “I won’t give up on him.”
Qing Ruyi looked slightly stunned. Although she had changed her appearance into an elderly person, her light brown eyes were still clear and beautiful.
The kindly Grandma Ruyi looked at her. She was such a small and weak human. Without any effort at all, she could end her life. She slowly put away her smile, and her gaze became sharp. “Qiuqiu, do you know the consequences of your decision?”
Qing Ruyi’s voice became cold. “Are you going to be Grandma’s enemy?”
Ruan Qiuqiu smiled. “You won’t hurt me.”
Qing Ruyi wouldn’t hurt her. She even had the confidence to convince Grandma Ruyi to betray her master.
In that short span of time, many thoughts had crossed her mind.
Grandma Ruyi said she appreciated her ability. This indirectly proved that her mutated water ability had special aspects. Perhaps, it could help Grandpa Mo and even help Grandma Ruyi.
Secondly, Grandma Ruyi was a half-demon and half-fiend. Although she didn’t understand Grandma Ruyi’s master, just by the fact that he wanted to eat Mr. Gray Wolf’s heart, she knew that he wasn’t a good person.
Grandma Ruyi’s master might also eat her after fattening her up and was finished using her.
With those two reasons, Ruan Qiuqiu felt that her chance of successfully persuading Grandma Ruyi was over 50%.
She wasn’t the type of person to give up and easily accept her fate.
Qing Ruyi raised her eyebrows and smiled as she looked at her. “Why won’t I hurt you? Since you decided to not leave that wolf, then of course, I’ll take action against you.”
Ruan Qiuqiu saw that Qing Ruyi didn’t have the slightest hint of killing intent in her eyes and calmly said, “Grandma Ruyi, have you ever thought that your master is just leaving you to eat for later?”
Qing Ruyi was taken aback.
Ruan Qiuqiu continued to tell her her guesses and finally asked her, “If you’re the fiend king, what do you think is the more convenient way to deal with you? Directly kill you and eat you to replenish his physical strength? Or dangle a promise to get you to do his bidding until you’ve outlived your usefulness?”
Qing Ruyi’s smile completely disappeared. Her expression became solemn.
Seeing that Qing Ruyi’s resolve was shaken, Ruan Qiuqiu continued to say, “I don’t know how your master has treated you over the years, but you said he’s very powerful, so it wouldn’t be difficult for him to find out that Grandpa Mo is alive, but he didn’t. Grandma Ruyi, if my guess is right, this is your last chance to escape from him.”
Ruan Qiuqiu slightly curved her lips. Her eyes were bright. “For the sake of Grandpa Mo and yourself, do you want to take a gamble?”
