Chapter 743 743: Weaving Inescapable Fatal Trap!
Gu Shengxin became even more excited after he heard the Nascent Soul Stage elder’s plan.
“What a great plan, Elder?! This younger one admires you very much~!” Gu Shengxin praised the Nascent Soul Stage elder while smiling in admiration and giving a fist-and-palm salute to the Nascent Soul Stage elder.
The Nascent Soul Stage elder laughed proudly while stroking his long beard.
Zhu Yan could only stare at Gu Shengxin in great disappointment and sorrow as if her heart had been stabbed with a sharp knife by him.
Her wounds worsened along with her sorrowful feeling, and she coughed another few mouthfuls of blood, then passed out.
Gu Shengxin only glared coldly at Zhu Yan with an expression filled with disgust, hatred, and anger.
It seemed he thought that Zhu Yan’s deceit was a great humiliation for him. He even completely forgot that Zhu Yan had already saved his life several times before.
…..
At this moment, Tang Li Xue still did not know that Zhu Yan’s true identity as Sea Beast Princess had been discovered and even got caught by Gu Shengxin.
She was still following Elder Yang closely from behind while patiently waiting for a chance to get out safely from the Gu Family’s mansion.
Of course, it would not be so easy to do it since there were so many formations scattered around the Gu Family’s mansion.
If not for the Nascent Soul Stage Elders, who were leading their group with a compass-like treasure in their grasp to avoid those scattering formations, they might have already accidentally fallen into one of the formations long ago.
Meanwhile, Rongrong was still hugging Elder Yang’s arm so intimately and sticking very closely to Elder Yang while kept chattering non-stop to him.
Even Elder Yang was already completely overwhelmed by Rongrong’s enthusiastic chatter, so he could only nod his head and reply superficially to her.
The surrounding night scenery in the Gu Family’s mansion was actually very beautiful with many colorful plants and fireflies flying around freely, but no one has the mood to enjoy it at this moment.
Right at this time, Rongrong sensed that her communication talisman suddenly moved and chimed in her spatial ring as someone called her through her communication talisman.
Rongrong took out her communication talisman from her spatial ring, but before she received the call, she secretly glanced at Elder Yang with a faint of worry in her expression.
After hesitating for a while, Rongrong decided to make an excuse to get away from Elder Yang for some time: “I am really sorry, Yangyang~! My old friend who lived in Garden City called me to ask for some advice to please her husband. I will receive her call first, okay?!”
Elder Yang’s body secretly shuddered slightly in disgust when he heard Rongrong’s speaking in such a coquettish tone.
“I understand, Rongrong… You can talk alone to your friend first. I will not bother your conversation with your friend.” Elder Yang nodded to Rongrong as he quickened his step to distance himself from Rongrong.
Rongrong did not mind Elder Yang’s awkward way to avoid being too close to her.
After Elder Yang’s group was tens of meters away from her, Rongrong finally received the call on her communication talisman.
Of course, she was not completely defenseless since there was actually one Nascent Soul Stage Elder from the Immortal Sword Sect who was protecting her closely.
But it made sense since there was still a sneaky thief that they did not know her whereabouts yet right now, and no one knew if the sneaky thief had any plan to take Rongrong as a hostage to get away from this place.
“Hello, what is it, Young Master Gu? Have you already met with Young Miss Zhu? What about it? Is there something wrong with her?” Rongrong asked after she accepted the call on her communication talisman.
“Hi, Miss Rongrong. Everything is just like you have already suspected before. That bit*h is not a human. She is actually a monster disguised as a human!” Gu Shengxin’s voice resounded from Rongrong’s communication talisman.
Rongrong’s expression did not change at all after she heard Gu Shengxin’s words as if she had already known it.
“So, what about her right now? Is she still alive? You did not kill her yet, right?” Rongrong asked in a solemn tone.
“No… Miss Rongrong, she is still alive for now. I lost my mind and almost killed her, but thankfully, the elder from your sect immediately stopped me before I chopped her head off.” Gu Shengxin explained to Rongrong.
“Oh? Tell me what had happened at that time more clearly.” Rongrong said in a tone filled with curiosity.
Then Gu Shengxin narrated what had happened before as clearly as he could to Rongrong.
Rongrong nodded her head in satisfaction at how thoughtful that elder was, and she had already planned to give more rewards to that elder later.
Especially the ‘catching three birds with one stone’ plan that the elder said before…
Rongrong did not care at all about that rare fish beast with her extremely precious tears and the stolen treasures from the Gu Family’s treasure warehouse, but she really cared about the fox demon who managed to seduce her Yangyang.
If she could catch that fox demon, she would be able to use that fox demon’s life to threaten her Yangyang to do anything, including marrying her as soon as possible.
“Not bad…. That Elder can think of the same plan as me. If we use the fish beast as bait, we will definitely be able to lure that fox demon to come and save her. At that time, it would be a complete checkmate for her since there would be no way for her to escape from our trap.” Rongrong muttered while sneering coldly.Rongrong thought for a while, but she still decided to be more careful since she really did not want to give that fox demon any chance to escape from them anymore.
After all, Tang Li Xue had already managed to run away again and again right in front of their eyes several times.
Rongrong and the others still did not get how Tang Li Xue could do it until now whether she had a teleportation-type divine ability, a clone-type divine ability, or another mysterious divine ability.
However, Rongrong did not want Tang Li Xue to get away again this time, so she decided to prepare more backup plans before spreading the news about the fish beast getting caught by them.
Rongrong hung up the call from Gu Shengxin and used her communication talisman to call the other people.
She began to call formation masters, alchemist masters, talisman masters, and so on to silently create the perfect trap for Tang Li Xue.
…..
Meanwhile, the oblivious Elder Yang sighed in relief after Rongrong left from his side.
“Humph~! What, Yangyang~?! Do you feel disappointed that your beloved fiancee is gone? You should just chase after her and keep sticking to her instead!” Tang Li Xue whispered to Elder Yang with her [Lock-On Telepathy].
Elder Yang’s body shuddered slightly when he heard Tang Li Xue’s cold tone which filled with vinegar.
Even though Elder Yang secretly felt extremely happy in his heart since his Xiao Bai felt jealous of him and Rongrong, but he did not want her to misunderstand his relationship with Rongrong.
Unfortunately, Elder Yang currently could not sense Tang Li Xue at all since she activated her [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment] plus the effect of [Concealment Barrier Talisman], so he could not reply to her with telepathy.
But Elder Yang did not give up and tried to use his song to communicate with Tang Li Xue: “Cough… How could I do that?! My heart only has you~! I have already told the truth to her, but she still did not want to let me go~!”
Several Nascent Soul Stage elders stared at Elder Yang weirdly, while Tang Li Xue felt much better after she heard Elder Yang’s explanation and giggled in amusement at him instead.
One of the Nascent Soul Stage elders could not hold on anymore and said honestly to him: “All of Elder Yang’s talents should have already been put for maxing his cultivation talent, so it is completely understandable that his talents in other fields are… not quite good.”
The other Nascent Soul Stage elder nodded and added: “That is right. Elder Yang’s talent in cultivation might be unmatchable, but his talent in singing is… a bit unbearable.”
Elder Yang: “…..”
Elder Yang snorted displeasantly in his heart as he thought: ‘Humph~! Who wants to sing for a group of old guys like you all~! If not for my Xiao Bai to not misunderstand me, I would never sing in front of you guys!’
But before Elder Yang and Tang Li Xue had a more pleasant conversation, Rongrong already ran toward their group again while shouting intimately to Elder Yang: “Yangyang~! I am here again~! Do you already miss me?!”
The mood of Elder Yang and Tang Li Xue plunged into gloom and depression again.
Rongrong hugged Elder Yang’s arm and stuck closely to him again, but without Elder Yang and Tang Li Xue realizing it, Rongrong had already weaved a terrifying inescapable fatal trap for both of them.
