Chapter 440
Blood oozed from his wrist, and pain was inevitable.
But facing Tang Ning standing close in front of him, Xing Shuyi did not dare to cry out in pain and forced himself to smile.
"I was just joking. The merit is still with you and nothing happened. Look, can I..."
"What first?"
Tangning put his hand on her shoulder, like a good friend he had known for many years, and responded with a sincere smile.
He seems to be a harmless and honest man, but in fact the silver thread wrapped around Xing Shuyi's wrist has not been taken back.
"Do you feel guilty and want to apologize to me first?"
"Haha~"
The hand placed on her shoulder was very casual. Xing Shuyi felt that she could easily shake it off with a simple shake, but she did not dare to move rashly.
Because she didn't know what the consequences of a random move would be. If Tangning and the others took this as a danger signal and started attacking her, the consequences would probably not be something she could bear.
It's just an apology, it can be done by opening and closing your lips.
If this could calm Tangning's anger, what's the big deal if she said it ten times?
Xing Shuyi didn't have any hesitation or any psychological burden, and opened his mouth: "I'm sorry, I just did something inappropriate and made you feel uncomfortable."
This was said very skillfully, describing the attempted robbery as inappropriate and likely to cause misunderstanding.
The clever change of words made Tangning laugh out loud: "Are you sure this was an inappropriate move?"
She usually fooled Lin Hao, but she didn't expect that one day it would be her turn.
If the person she fooled was an acquaintance, she would laugh and forget about it.
But right now, it's clear that nothing is going as planned.
Tangning's question made Xing Shuyi's smile disappear from his face.
In front of him was the ghost snake girl who was staring at him silently. Tang Ning's breath could be clearly felt on her neck.
Even though he was feeling uneasy, Xing Shuyi still tried to maintain his composure and managed a smile: "It's really just an inappropriate move. I didn't mean anything else."
The merit is still with Tang Ning and has not been taken away. As long as she sticks to this argument, she shouldn't be able to do anything to herself.
"No other meaning?"
Tangning lowered her head and let out a muffled laugh.
Did Xing Shuyi not understand the current situation? The term "inappropriate behavior" was not something she could just say.
"Lin Die, do you still remember what this elder sister said just now?"
If she has a bad memory and can't remember what happened before, Tang Ning doesn't mind being a good person and helping her recall things.
"Remember! After all, this eldest sister was very majestic at the time, so it would be difficult to forget her right away."
Hearing Tang Ning ask herself, Lin Die immediately relaxed with a sullen face.
"I heard clearly that she said she wanted to use the merit accumulated by her sister. And after her sister tried to dissuade her, she had no intention of stopping. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like an inappropriate move."
Lin Die flew up in the air and suddenly came in front of Xing Shuyi, startling her.
Seeing her little actions, Lin Die couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He has a thief's heart but not his courage. This is the kind of person he is talking about.
"What you did at that time seemed to have been planned for a long time, and it was very different from what you are saying now."
Xing Shuyi looked at the two people singing and singing beside him, and instantly understood what Tang Ning meant. She was not going to let her go so easily.
Knowing the other person's intentions, there is no point in putting on a smile.
After knowing that the other party would not let him go, Xing Shuyi's panic calmed down: "Then what do you want?"
"Listen, how easy it is to ask this question."
She looked calm and spoke confidently. If the person involved was not herself, Tang Ning would probably misunderstand that the other party was the real victim.
"You were not the one who was robbed, so you feel particularly relaxed and peaceful?"
"I said, it was just inappropriate before..."
"Okay!"
Tangning frowned and interrupted her: "It's enough to say this once or twice. Besides, it just makes people look like fools."
When she raised her arm, the silver thread lifted her arm.
While they were talking, blood had already slipped onto the back of Xing Shuyi's hand.
Bright red and white are intertwined, creating an alternative beauty.
"You keep this hand, and I will pretend that nothing happened tonight."
Even after his "well-intentioned" persuasion, he still insisted on taking action.
After failing to succeed, I just want to escape safely. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
Even if it did, Tangning would not allow such a thing to happen to her.
You have to pay a price for doing something wrong, otherwise how can you be remembered?
In Xing Shuyi's ears, Tangning's words were not meant as a joke.
Her eyes narrowed, and it became clear that she really wanted to cut off her hand.
"impossible!"
The rejection came out immediately from Xing Shuyi's mouth.
For practitioners of Taoism, pinching fingers and kneading techniques are indispensable.
If you really want to lose a hand, it won't be as simple as losing your strength.
After all, many techniques require both hands to perform, and cannot be completed with one hand.
Tang Ning's cutting off one of her hands was no different from killing herself!
Xing Shuyi will never allow such a thing to happen: "Change another condition."
"Who told you the terms? This is the price."
Tang Ning put away the silly smile on her face. She looked like a sharp arrow shot out of her body. Her eyes were cold and she spoke word by word: "You want to take away the price of my merits."
When he said this, his fingers suddenly flexed, and a shrill cry immediately came from Xing Shuyi's mouth.
The silver thread had sunk deeply into the flesh, and the red blood flowed out at an accelerated rate, falling to the ground with a "tick-tick-tick" sound.
Xing Shuyi knew that the silver thread was a sharp blade, so in order to prevent Tang Ning from tightening it, he immediately grabbed the hanging thread with his other hand.
The moment I held it, I felt pain immediately, and I knew in my heart that it was the silk thread that had cut my palm open.
Even so, Xing Shuyi still dared not let go.
Turning to look at Tang Ning, her eyes were full of evil: "Tang Ning, you have to understand clearly that Qingyan is injured, but I am unscathed."
This means that she must understand one thing before taking action: she is not powerless to fight back.
Rabbits will bite people when they are anxious, let alone humans!
"So what if I'm unscathed?"
Of course Tangning didn't say this to scare her.
"Are you alone, do you want to face off against Ghost Diao, Ghost Snake Girl, and Yin Snake?"
Facing these three people at the same time, not to mention his calligraphy skills, even if Tang Ning had abundant spiritual power in her body, she had no confidence.
"I just want to leave completely."
Xing Shuyi knew very well that it was obviously an unrealistic fantasy to defeat the three people in front of him.
