Long Xueyao raised her chin and looked at the two demons. She said in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing, “I will not be your hostage. I know that I am not your opponent, but you will only get my corpse!” She would not allow these demons to use her to threaten her father.
The mercenary blood in her would not allow her to be used in such a way!
“Very well.” The demon was angered by Long Xueyao.
“You wish to die? But we will not let you have your wish. Since you wish to resist, then I will eat your hands and feet and tie you up. In any case, as long as you are alive, you are useful to us,” the demon said cruelly.
Gu Feng looked at Long Xueyao anxiously.
“Yaoyao! Are you stupid? Do you… do you not want to live anymore? Why are you resisting?!”
Long Xueyao pushed Gu Feng away. She did not want to admit that he was also from the mercenary world.
The two demons looked at each other and immediately pounced on Long Xueyao. To them, a mere human was not their opponent.
However, the moment they pounced on her, the two demons felt as if a black shadow had flashed past their eyes. When they could see again, Long Xueyao had already disappeared.
“It is not appropriate to be so cruel. How can you be so cruel to such a beautiful girl? You have no manners at all.” A young voice echoed above the two demons.
All of a sudden, they looked up and saw a skinny young man carrying Long Xueyao in his arms as he stepped on a protruding stone step.
“A human.” The two demons narrowed their eyes. They could smell the scent of a human from that young man.
However, the scent was unfamiliar. How did they not catch his scene prior to this?
When did he appear? How did he save Long Xueyao right under their noses?
Long Xueyao, who had just been rescued, had only just recovered her senses when she looked at the smiling young man who held her in his arms.
She was prepared to die, but she did not expect that she would fall into someone else’s arms the very next second and escape from danger.
She looked at the young man who was hugging her. He had a teasing smile on his unattractive face, and his curved eyebrows made him look very pretty.
“Who are you?” Long Xueyao was surprised. She had never seen this young man before, so why would he save her?
The man was Shen Yanxiao in disguise. She wanted to wait for them to fight more before making her move. However, she overheard Long Xueyao’s words.
She was a strong girl, and she would never bow her head to a demon that was much stronger than her.
She would rather kill herself than to become a bargaining chip used to threaten her father.
Thus, Shen Yanxiao decided to save the girl with much filial piety and personality.
Shen Yanxiao smiled and lowered her head. She winked at Long Xueyao playfully and said, “My name is Shen Jue.” Then, she placed Long Xueyao on the stone steps.
“Shen Jue…” Long Xueyao repeated hesitantly.
Shen Yanxiao was not in the mood to discuss her identity with Long Xueyao. She took a step forward and walked to the edge of the stone steps. She crouched down and waved at the two demons who stared at her in shock.
“One of your bargaining chips is with me. If you wish to continue with your plan, you have to beat me first.”
