Chapter 53: Bargain for their lives


    They could feel the snake force itself into their mouths then down their throat to their stomachs. Their small-scaled bodies were nowfortablyying around, inside their bodies.


    Were they drinking their blood? What if they got hungry and ate their internal organs?


    Wanting to choke but afraid that the snake would suddenly be hostile and decide to take a bite inside their faces showed the struggle of epting their current situation.


    "None of you will die. I still have some use for you." Gao Lan Mei did not want blood spilled on her courtyard. Lying to her mortal parents was notfortable for her as well.


    With an annoyed tone, "Liqi n cannot be trusted, think carefully before you kick these beings out."


    He did not agree to this. "We can use other means to get what we need." Yen Mngjue had one of his snake pawns toe closer to Gao Lan Mei.


    He understood Gao Lan Mei''s intention. They needed to acquire power, but the Liqi n could not be trusted, especially the Old Yin Patriarch.


    That man was alive for so long, he even knew the story of why the n had been created hundreds of years ago.


    With a sly glint in her eyes, "I am just being merciful. Let them bargain for their lives." She wanted to know how far her luck would go.


    Staring at the pale faced intruders, "You can leave now. We will meet again soon. The snake will tell you when and where," saying with disinterested tone.


    She gave them pills to stop the poison from spreading at most for a week. That also meant that she had this time to prepare.


    With a gulp, "Understood." Yin Bai said. They were still alive, that''s all that mattered. With difficulty, the three left the courtyard.


    "You''re not afraid that reinforcement will arrive from the n?" Yen Mingjue was more concerned that the main force of the Liqi n would retaliate.


    The young master of the n was poisoned, the remaining assassins were still in the Gao Manor. "Are you also nning to free the rest?" he asked.


    Gao Lan Mei frowned, "Father will decide on that," walking towards her parents'' pavilion.


    .


    Gao Qi looked at the four ck robed intruders, kneeling on the ground. Zicuy Regime protectors had their swords pointed at them, ready to attack at any time.


    His face was ck from anger. A couple of days ago, his daughter had an ident, then he was ambushed. Now he was being assassinated.


    It was a good thing that he summoned the Gao family protectors in time.


    "Master, the young miss is on her way." A shadow protector arrived to inform him.


    Hearing this, "You made it on time? She is fine, right?" He anxiously asked.


    The protector bowed, "There were assassins targeting the young miss as well. We werete"


    Gao Qi looked at them with thunderous expression, if something had happened to Gao Lan Mei again, there would be a bloodbath! "Say that again!" he shouted.


    Continuing hastily, "Master! We assure you, the young miss was not harmed." For the protector, there was no need to act if not needed.


    "You said you werete! What exactly happened?" The Zicuy Regime was created to protect the Gao Family. If they were not doing what they were supposed to then, what''s the use?
