At this moment, Meng Ran, who had been waiting by the side for some time, hurriedly said, "Cousin, I still have something to tell you."
'Tsk!'
'Why was Meng Ran so annoying!'
'Didn't she understand that he had refused to talk to her?'
"Speak." Meng Hui was finally willing to spare her a glance. Meng Ran did not dare delay and said directly, "My maidservant, Yu Si, is missing."
"Meng Ran, do you think I have a lot of time on my hands?"
Meng Ran could tell from Meng Hui's words that she was wasting his time by telling him about a small matter like losing a maidservant.
"No, cousin, it's Yu Si. After she attacked Miss Yan Jiao, she ran away to avoid punishment!"
"When did that happen?"
"It was before the banquet tonight."
Only then did Yan Jiao remember that she had let Xiao Fen carry Xiao Cui while they were eating.
"Is what she said true?"
"It's true. That servant girl attacked me. It was Xiao Cui who protected me and took the blow for me. I'm fine." Yan Jiao looked at Xiao Cui's sleeping form and said in a wronged voice, "It's all your fault for bringing me to the Snake Palace. I'm just an ordinary human. I can't beat them. I can't even protect myself."
Yan Jiao recalled that ever since she woke up in the Snake Palace, she had been insulted and ridiculed by its inhabitants. She had never suffered such humiliation in the human world, and for a moment, she felt her blood pressure rising.
As Meng Hui listened to Yan Jiao's tearful account, his face turned as cold as frost.
"Send out the remaining half of our forces and pursue Yu Si with all our might. I want her captured, dead or alive!"
"Meng Ran, if I find out that this was your idea, you know the consequences!"
After Meng Hui had finished speaking, he held Yan Jiao's hand and strode out of the dining hall. Xiao Fen also followed behind Yan Jiao and left the hall with Xiao Cui.
Meng Ran looked at Meng Hui's angry face and rejoiced that she was the one who told him about it first. She might have been punished if Yan Jiao told on her. Besides, this matter had nothing to do with her.
'Yan Jiao, one day, you will die by my hands!'
"Save me, please, I'm really going to die." Yu Si, who was supposed to be running away, knelt beside a blood-red spring that was covered in blood mist. It was unknown who she was asking for help.
After Yu Si ran out of the Snake Palace, she went to ask for help from the most powerful race in the Snake Realm.
They told Yu Si that this was the only place where she had a chance of survival. However, the chances were not very high. It would depend on her luck.
On the other hand, death awaited her everywhere else. There was no way to avoid it!
"What does your life or death have to do with me?" A magnetic voice seemed to pass through the mist, becoming hoarse and twisted, revealing a sense of evil.
"I, I'll do anything for you, as long as you can save me!" Yu Si's clothes had been torn and tattered by the pursuers sent by Meng Hui. Even her beautiful face had become dirty, without a trace of her previous arrogance.
"But what can you do for me?" The mysterious voice sneered as if it had heard something funny.
"I, I... " Yu Si did not know either, but she wanted to live. She stammered for a long time but could not come up with anything.
"I remember that your King brought back a human woman. I want you to bring me her blood and tears."
"Then, my lord, I brought this back... " Yu Si was afraid that this mysterious person would not care about her life or death after using her, so she spoke with caution.
"Coward. Don't worry, as long as you bring these two things back to me, I'll let you go to the human world. The further away you are from the Snake King's altar, the less likely he'll be able to sense you."
"But my lord, the passage to the human world has been sealed..." Yu Si had thought about that method, but that path was a dead end from the beginning!
"Remember my demands. After you bring the items back to me, I will have a way to send you to the human world..." The mysterious man's voice gradually became ethereal.
Only after the voice gradually disappeared did Yu Si dare to get up from the ground. "Yan Jiao, just you wait!"
