Chapter 1062: Untitled

Saint Zachary changed a few soul crystals consecutively before eventually suspecting that Bai Qingqing was feigning sleep. He grabbed her half-wet long hair and forced her to raise her head.

Bai Qingqing was caught off-guard and cried out in pain. Her face furrowed up, and she opened her eyes to glare at Saint Zachary with hatred.

Saint Zachary’s eyes were filled with fury at having been fooled. The most important thing was that he couldn’t force someone to fall asleep. This made it harder for him to hold back.

Bai Qingqing wasn’t a person with great guts, and she was scared to be bitten by venomous creatures. However, when facing Saint Zachary’s enraged gaze, she didn’t show any fear at all. She glared at him with eyes wider than his, the fury in her eyes stronger than his.

Mitchell quickly said, “Father, females are very weak!”

Only then did Saint Zachary let go of Bai Qingqing’s hair. “I don’t believe you’ll not sleep forever!”

After saying that, Saint Zachary took the soul crystals with him and left angrily.

Both Bai Qingqing and Mitchell heaved a huge sigh of relief.

“I’m very sorry to have brought these troubles onto you.” Mitchell let out a sigh and said, “If it wasn’t because I wanted the help of my father to get you, he wouldn’t have set his eyes on you.”

What use was there to say that? However, Bai Qingqing still felt very happy to hear that. She immediately jumped onto the opportunity, changed her expression, and grabbed onto Mitchell’s arm, pleading. “Then, let me out.”

Mitchell’s expression immediately turned wary as he looked in the direction of the ice bead. He then covered Bai Qingqing’s mouth and said, “He’ll kill me!”

Bai Qingqing’s nose wrinkled and her eyes drooped, with large droplets of tears falling off. She had felt like crying, to begin with, so it was very easy for her to put on a pitiful act.

The drops of seething liquid that landed on the back of Mitchell’s hand gave him a scare, and he drew his hand back as if he had been electrocuted. He looked at the back of his hand and went into a daze.

After looking at it for a while, he then looked up at Bai Qingqing’s eyes that were glistening with tears, his pitch-black eyes filled with disbelief.

So these were tears. Wouldn’t her eyes be burned when they were so hot?

“But what am I going to do?” Bai Qingqing lowered her voice and secretly threw a glance at the black crystal hung around his chest.

Mitchell was focused on staring at Bai Qingqing’s eyes, so how could he not have noticed her gaze? Realizing that she was trying to bring him into her scheme, the feeling of pity in his heart seemed to have been blown away by the wind.

“He won’t be able to control my body. Even if he can, he won’t be able to bring you away.” Mitchell shook his head.

Bai Qingqing’s heart sank, and she blinked her tear-filled eyes to let her vision become a little clearer as she threw him an inquiring glance.

Mitchell took out another black crystal from behind a rock and said, “And there’s him as well. He’ll definitely be on my father’s side. Even though he’s just a soul crystal, he can let my father find out about what is happening over here immediately.”

Bai Qingqing panicked a little as she thought to herself, This soul crystal is very strong?

She then noticed that the air around the soul crystal that Mitchell had brought out started to distort. Amidst the orange-red fiery glow, a figure that she would never have expected appeared before her.

“Ape king?” Bai Qingqing was astonished and then understood.

No wonder Saint Zachary would perform those opportunistic battle tactics. Turned out that it was because the ape king was the one coming up with such ideas.

It was over. With the ape king around, she could forget about getting out.

The ape king’s gaze was composed as usual as he looked at her. There weren’t any emotions in them. The reason he had appeared was only to dash Bai Qingqing’s last hope of survival.

It was true that Bai Qingqing had been drenched in cold water by him. However, after seeing his supercilious attitude, she was suddenly struck by a thought and once again held hopes of survival.

It was too obvious that the ape king didn’t harbor any hatred toward her.
