Chapter 807: Chapter 807: One Chance
Xia Ji, however, didn’t care in the slightest about Han Qingjue’s sarcastic jabs. The corners of her lips lifted. "Indeed, it’s very difficult to get close to that little girl. That man by her side isn’t human, he’s a Ghost King. It’s just that he’s still a tiny bit short of a true Ghost King. Staying at that little girl’s side, I’m guessing he also wants to leech off that little girl’s Blood."
"After the Divine Clan perished, for a Divine Level being to appear again in this world has become almost impossible. So opportunity is extremely important—miss this one time, and there will be no more chances." Xia Ji tossed a silver needle to Han Qingjue. "What I want you to do is very simple. Just take this needle and jab it into that little girl once. It will draw the Blood on its own, and then you just hand the needle to me. As for how to get close to that little girl—have you forgotten there’s still Xue Xi!"
"Why do you have to come to me? Don’t you think I’m the least likely person to help you complete this task?" Han Qingjue didn’t understand either. Given her relationship with Han Jing and the others, every meeting was a fight to the death. Was this old demon woman insane, actually coming to her for help? She had to be sick in the head!
"It’s often the least likely people who manage to do what others can’t. If I went to someone else, I’d probably end up with a pile of corpses. But you are different. You don’t want to die. Not only do you not want to die, you still want to marry Su Yu and be together with him for the rest of your life. I’m now kindly helping you get rid of that mother and daughter pair, and then Su Yu will be yours. Conditions this good—if you miss them, you’ll never get another chance!" Xia Ji sneered. "I told you back then, once you let Su Yu go that time, you’d never have another chance to win. Well? Do you see now that everything I said was true? I can’t bear to see you alone for the rest of your life, so I’m giving you another hand. How could you possibly refuse me?"
Han Qingjue pressed her lips tightly together and didn’t speak for a long time.
After quite a while, she finally forced out, "What are you going to do?"
Xia Ji laughed. "I knew you would help me. Good child, don’t worry, I won’t shortchange you. Once it’s done, whatever you want, I’ll give it to you."
"Cut the crap." Han Qingjue’s expression stayed cold as she turned her head away, not wanting to look at Xia Ji.
"Hehe, you’re even more impatient than I am! Young people shouldn’t be so hot-tempered. Everything has to be done slowly if you want it flawless." Xia Ji chuckled, took out a piece of Jade, handed it to Han Qingjue, and then said lazily, "That little girl and Xue Xi know each other. You just have to follow Xue Xi and find a chance to meet that maid. Then crush this piece of Jade, and it will take you into the Illusion Bamboo Forest. That is the only chance to separate that little girl from the Ghost King. You must seize that chance to draw the Blood. If you miss it, it won’t be so easy to get close to her again."
"If that little girl is really as powerful as you say, if I’m not her match, how am I supposed to smoothly take Blood from her?" Although Han Qingjue felt Xiao Xue was just an ordinary child and not as formidable as Xia Ji claimed, who could say for sure? Since she was so out of the ordinary that even Xia Ji was going to such lengths, she definitely had something extraordinary about her.
"Since I’m sending you, of course I’ve made all the preparations." Xia Ji threw a talisman to Han Qingjue. "Stick this talisman on her body and it can temporarily paralyze her. But you must remember—you only have one shot at this."
