Chapter 338: Do You Want the Elder Sister or the Younger Sister?
Ehuang and Hei Bai Shaosiming were utterly at Li Mo’s mercy.
Let alone Nu Ying, just one person.
Just when she thought she was doomed, the Black Jade Kirin suddenly stepped forward.
“My lord, please spare her.”
The Black Jade Kirin was completely concealed in her robes, covering her head and face.
Although Nu Ying couldn’t see her expression, she was surprised by what she said.
“This person saved me just now.”
She looked at Nu Ying with her glowing eyes.
If Ehuang hadn’t suddenly attacked from behind, she likely wouldn’t have survived.
The Black Jade Kirin was merely trying to plead for mercy.
After all, with Li Mo present, the decision still rested with him.
However, Li Mo retracted his hostility and said to Nu Ying, “You go back and tell Donghuang Taiyi that some things, I will give to him.”
He can take it; if he doesn’t give it, he can’t snatch it.
“This is the first and the last time.”
“Even without Donghuang Taiyi, I can still unlock the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon.”
Long before arriving, Li Mo had already known everything that had happened here.
This person had indeed just pleaded for the Black Jade Kirin.
“You’re letting me go?”
Nu Ying looked at him in disbelief, her eyes filled with astonishment.
“There’s only one chance. If you don’t want to leave, you can stay.”
After Li Mo finished speaking, he turned around to leave.
But at that moment, Nu Ying called out from behind.
Her voice was extremely resolute: “I will stay!”
Li Mo paused his steps.
He turned to ask, “What did you say?”
Nu Ying looked at him earnestly and firmly declared, “I said I will stay. You let go of my sister and Hei Bai.”
It turned out she wanted to save the other three.
The Hei Bai Shaosiming, already subdued by the Black Jade Kirin, immediately cast a grateful look at her.
If they fell into Li Mo’s hands, whether they lived or died would be an unknown.
At such a time, Nu Ying was still willing to step forward, which was essentially using her life to exchange for theirs.
“Nu Ying, don’t be foolish.”
Having been hurt twice by Li Mo, Ehuang, gasping for breath, furrowed her brows tightly.
Although she was a hundred percent dissatisfied with her kind-hearted sister, they were still sisters born of the same mother.
At such a time, how could she let her give up her chance to survive for her own benefit?
“So you are the younger sister; you’re different from the people of the Yin-Yang School.”
Li Mo tightened his grip on Ehuang’s pulse point, leaving her unable to move at all.
He was greatly surprised by Nu Ying’s performance.
The Yin-Yang School was a place where it was either you die or I live, and internal competition was extremely fierce.
While he could understand why she saved Ehuang, wanting to rescue another pair of twins caught him somewhat off guard.
“This matter was our fault from the start, so I earnestly ask the National Advisor to spare us.”
Nu Ying bowed to Li Mo and earnestly pleaded.
“Alright.”
Before the word even delighted Nu Ying, Li Mo’s tone suddenly changed.
“Exchanging with you is possible, but one life can only exchange for one person.”
Li Mo moved his arm and brought Ehuang in front of him.
Gripping her delicate neck, he continued, “Will you choose your sister, or one of them?”
All four were stunned at this.
Li Mo didn’t care what they thought; there was no room for negotiation in his words.
One person’s life could only exchange for one life.
He wouldn’t take a loss in this deal.
“I… I…”
Nu Ying was suddenly put in a difficult position; her delicate brows almost twisted together.
“You don’t have much time to consider.”
Li Mo slightly tightened his fingers, and Ehuang immediately showed a look of pain.
She gasped for the increasingly thin air, her mouth opening wide.
Nu Ying glanced at Ehuang, whose face was turning purple, and then at the Hei Bai Shaosiming who was being pointed at by the Black Jade Kirin’s sword.
Her gaze was filled with conflict.
For an average person, they would definitely choose their own elder sister without hesitation.
But Nu Ying was different.
She wanted to save them all!
Because she couldn’t bear to see her companions, whom she had been with day and night, die due to her own lack of strength.
“Ten, nine, eight, seven, six…”
On the other side, Li Mo seemed to have lost patience and started counting down.
Nu Ying’s gaze kept shifting between Ehuang and Hei Bai Shaosiming.
Tightly gripping her fingers, she was in deep conflict.
But Li Mo’s countdown felt like a death warrant urging her on.
“I… you’re making it difficult for me!”
Nu Ying was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes.
The tears that had accumulated in her eyes were about to spill over at any moment.
“Three, two…”
Li Mo ignored her, continuing his countdown.
“One!”
“I choose my sister!”
In the end, both of their voices rang out together.
Nu Ying looked at Hei Bai Shaosiming apologetically.
The two lightly shook their heads at her, indicating that she shouldn’t blame herself.
For Nu Ying to choose to exchange her own life was already more than enough kindness.
It’s only natural for her to choose Ehuang.
“You have a good younger sister.”
Li Mo casually threw Ehuang at Nu Ying’s feet.
Nu Ying hurriedly pounced on her, checking her repeatedly.
“Sister, how are you? Are you alright?”
Ehuang coughed painfully a few times before feeling a bit better, shaking her head with a hoarse voice.
“I’m fine, cough cough. I’m fine.”
Then, she looked up at Li Mo.
Fear appeared in her eyes.
Gripping Nu Ying’s arm tightly, she said, “Don’t go over there. Let’s… let’s fight our way out.”
Nu Ying glanced at Li Mo, lowered her head and bit her lip, saying, “Sister, I returned you with my own life. The National Advisor’s words are binding; how can I go back on my word?”
Li Mo felt another wave of surprise in his heart.
This Nu Ying is actually quite interesting.
Since he was able to capture Ehuang once, he could do it two or three times.
He had released them out of confidence.
“You…”
Ehuang looked at Nu Ying with disappointment.
She wanted to scold her, but thinking of how her life was saved by her, she swallowed her words.
“Sister, you should go back.”
Nu Ying forcefully pried Ehuang’s hand off her arm.
Slowly getting up, she walked towards Li Mo.
