Pillar of Yita

Gita couldn’t help but gasp when she saw this scene from a distance and subconsciously took a step forward.

However, Tianlan quickly grabbed her hand and said to her, ”Don’t go over!”

”But Brother Ade?”

Tianlan shook his head and whispered to her, ”Brother Ade has already gained the upper hand. He has figured out all of the dragon’s hidden cards. It can’t turn the tables now. I really didn’t expect Brother Ade to have such a trick up his sleeve, he’s really calm—”

But poor Fang Hong was far from as composed as Tianlan thought at that moment.

He only felt difficulty breathing, his vision blurring, and subconsciously grabbed Atira’s arm, which was covered in cold scales, but it was like grabbing a rigid steel pipe, absolutely useless. Having no other choice, he kicked Atira’s abdomen.

The latter sneered, grabbed his ankle, and swung back—Fang Hong felt as though he had flown through the clouds, as the entire square seemed to turn upside down, slamming into his face with a thud—he was spun around like a windmill and slammed onto the ground.

Only then did Lady Nicopolis let go, looking pleased with herself.

Fang Hong was in so much pain that he was almost in tears, feeling both angry and suffocated; he cursed this violent woman thoroughly in his heart. Then, simply turning over, he lay on the ground and loudly said, ”Just kill me then, I won’t give you the item.”

”You think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?” Lady Nicopolis narrowed her eyes, her golden pupils filled with coldness.

”Then go ahead and kill, quickly kill everyone.” Fang Hong lay on the ground, calmly saying, ”Once I get out, I’ll hide that thing so far away that no one will ever find it for the rest of their lives. You know about the Abyssal Sea, right? I plan to throw it down there.”

Lady Nicopolis, whether through her human or dragon experiences since birth, had likely never encountered such a fearless person.

Yet Fang Hong’s words truly frightened her; she didn’t know how this human youth had guessed the connection between her and that item—perhaps it was because that scholar had revealed too much information just now.

Thinking about it, she almost wished she could resurrect that scholar and kill him all over again.

But think as she might, she still took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the raging anger in her heart, and answered through gritted teeth, with a pause at every word, ”Fine, I agree. Let the others leave first. Get up and let’s complete the transaction.”

Lady Nicopolis clenched her fists tightly, her claws nearly piercing into her flesh, furiously thinking—just see where these mortals can flee to? Once she got her hands on that item, she would hunt down each one of them and torture them to death.

Especially this damnable human in front of her.

But what she never expected was, Fang Hong simply lay there motionless and even winked at her, ”But I’ve hurt myself from the fall, I need a hug from Miss before I can get up.”

I—need—a—hug—from—Miss—before—I—can—get—up!

Lady Nicopolis took a deep breath.

She felt veins throbbing in her forehead, barely resisting the urge to breathe out and turn this man into ashes.

Meanwhile, the two young girls nearby, previously terrified by Fang Hong’s tragic plight, could not help but snicker upon hearing this. If Lady Dark Giant Dragon hadn’t turned her head around, giving them a cold, bone-chilling glance, causing them to shiver, the two girls could have probably fallen down together in laughter.

As for Atira, who had been ready to run over with her spear and save Fang Hong, she also couldn’t help but sigh and shake her head after hearing his words.

Then Fang Hong chuckled and quickly waved his hands, saying, ”Just kidding, Lady Nicopolis, please don’t be mad.”

”I—am—not—mad,” Lady Nicopolis gave him a look as if he were a dead man and answered ’seriously’.

But Fang Hong still showed no intention of getting up, continuing, ”It’s not that I don’t trust you, Miss Nicopolis, but you have to send the others out of this Phantom before I can believe what you say.”

Upon hearing this, Lady Nicopolis fell silent, quietly observing Fang Hong, her golden eyes gleaming with an undefined flicker of light.
