The young man smiled at Zidi: "If I'm sorry, didn't I already say it in the central tower?"

"There are still some things." Zidi said with a heavy expression, "Not long after I took over the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce, I was assassinated. In order to protect myself, I had to join forces with war traffickers. I was too weak and had no qualifications to negotiate. I was forced to

Married to the Baisha family. However, the warlord secretly wiped out the Baizhen family's team, intending to exchange the fake for the real, to support you as the Lord of Baisha City, and become his most loyal chess piece."

"In fact, the shipwreck was also caused by me. Because the contract disappeared, I sensed the death of the war trafficker. At that time, the captain of the Pig Kiss was malicious, so I poisoned him. But he counterattacked temporarily, causing the Pig Kiss to die.

Sunk."

This secret was discovered by Zhu Sha on the fourth floor of the central tower. However, the boy and others were still on the third floor at that time and did not hear this conversation.

But the young man and Cang Xu didn't show any signs of surprise.

The boy's smile remained unchanged.

"You all know?" Zidi was confused, but she immediately realized, "It's needle gold!"

She guessed correctly.

Although she fell into a coma afterwards, Zhen Jin became a prisoner and was bound to be tortured.

Regarding what happened on the fourth floor, Zhen Jin revealed it without reservation. Especially after seeing the memory crystal manufacturing device again.

Zidi let out a breath. Even though they all knew it, but she took the initiative to say it, it was like tearing apart a paper cocoon wrapping her heart. The whole person felt like she was getting rid of the burden and feeling renewed.

After experiencing life and death on the mysterious island, and encountering dangerous adventures while unconscious, Zidi became more determined and brave.

"There is one more thing, which is good news." Zidi added, "The Baizhen family has responded to the letter. According to what we discussed before, the leader of the Baizhen clan and I agreed to meet secretly on Spitfire Island to negotiate and hand over the hostages.

.”

Zidi did not reveal the truth about the mysterious island. Now the leader of the Hundred Needles tribe still thinks that the Pig Kiss has been hijacked by the Justice Pirates. The heir of his family, the president of the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce and some valuable people on the same ship are all

Became a hostage of pirates, waiting for ransom.

Although a magical device is used to transmit the message, and a code book is required to decipher it, the truth cannot be revealed at will. This is to take into account the possibility of major changes in the Hundred Needles family.

I believe that when the time comes for the real negotiations, the Baizhen clan leader will have a wonderful expression when he sees Zidi defecting to the pirates and abandoning the alliance.

All three are confident about negotiations.

Zhen Jin is the only heir to the Bai Zhen family. This bargaining chip is too big!

Now the three of them just hope that the leader of the Baizhen clan is really capable and can secretly communicate with the high-level officials of the empire, and has such connections to help everyone escape the crime.

Even if they don't have the ability, it would still be good to let the Baizhen family secretly help them escape and secretly provide supplies.

"Miss Zidi, if you have a showdown with the Baizhen clan leader and tell the truth, what will your Ziteng Chamber of Commerce do? Your chamber of commerce is also in a very bad situation. It originally stayed together with the Baizhen family for warmth. If the contract is broken,

, the Chamber of Commerce may have a great negative impact." Cang Xu asked.

Zi Di smiled bitterly and looked at the boy.

As expected, the young man was also looking at her, with concern and nervousness in his eyes.

Zidi smiled again, this time showing a little sweetness.

Then, she said in a firm tone: "Wisteria Chamber of Commerce is my father's lifelong effort and pride. I took over it because I didn't want my father's hard work to be ruined. More importantly, I wanted to use this foundation to help me get revenge.

"

"The Wisteria Chamber of Commerce is already like this. My position as president is only in name only. Except for the fat-tongued elder, no one else is convinced by me. So, even if I tear up the contract, it won't actually do much harm."

"The worst-case scenario is that the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce is completely destroyed. But this does not mean that I can't avenge my father. As long as I don't die, it is completely feasible to rebuild the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce in the future."

"Of course, none of the above are the main and most important reasons."

Having said this, Zidi suddenly stretched out her hand and took the initiative to hold the young man's hand.

She continued: "The most important reason is that I don't want to be a fiancee, even in name only. My heart... already belongs to someone else."

She stared affectionately and boldly at the fish-man boy in front of her.

All the experiences on the mysterious island, life and death together, day and night companionship, the youth's glory and spirit have been deeply engraved in the deepest part of Zidi's heart.

No matter how ferocious the boy looks on the outside, no matter what strange appearance he turns into, the girl's heart is always with him.

The young man's heart was beating fast. At this moment, he also squeezed the girl's hand with a little force.

"Zidi..." He called softly in a low voice.

Although Zidi once deceived him, after knowing the truth, the young man had more understanding and love for Zidi.

Zidi has her own bottom line and kindness, but is forced by various situations and becomes a pawn. She has too much powerlessness and helplessness.

The most important thing is that the young man trusts his own intuition.

During the time he spent with Zidi, he never felt any malice toward him from Zidi!

There is no malice, only love.

"How honored I am to have your favor." The young man said affectionately.

"Me too, it must be fate to meet you." The girl's cheeks turned red and her eyes were as tender as water.

The two gradually got closer and closer, and their attention became more and more focused on each other.

"Ahem." Cang Xu's coughing sound woke up the young girl.

After reacting, both of them were a little embarrassed.

"Bless you two, youth is really beautiful." Although Cang Xu is a necromancer, his humanity has not been wiped out. The beauty in front of him also made him slightly raise the corners of his mouth and smile from the bottom of his heart.

The boy and the girl separated slightly, but the boy still held the girl's hand.

He took a deep breath, looked at the girl with candid eyes, and then turned to Cang Xu: "I also have something that I need to explain to you two."

"The secret about my lycanthropy is actually the blood core."

Cangxu's smile remains unchanged.

The girl looked at her lover quietly, squeezed the boy's hand slightly, and secretly encouraged him.

"Aren't you surprised?" The young man was stunned for a moment.

"To be honest, I have already made a guess." Cang Xu nodded, "After all, the blood core in the central tower was taken away by you on your own initiative. You took it with you to negotiate with the Flame Dragon King alone. From now on

Otherwise, I never saw it again.”

"After leaving the Mysterious Island, sir, you have a brand new dragon form."

"We enter the Tianzhu Sea Eye. Sir, you can still turn into a fish-man."

"Since the blood core was carefully placed on the third floor by the war dealer, in the war dealer's opinion, it is even more precious than the sapphire gold coffin and the mermaid's fairy tale."

"Based on your performance, sir, I speculate that this blood core should have the ability to absorb external blood and thereby promote its own mutation."

The fishman boy sighed: "Your guess is correct."

He looked at the girl.

Zidi smiled and said: "Don't forget, during the battle in the central tower, I almost occupied all the authority. Naturally, I saw a lot of information about blood cores. It also included the large-scale manufacturing of blood cores by war traffickers in conjunction with sapphire gold coffins.

Artificial Warcraft, the method of transforming into a human being."

Zi Di knew better than Cang Xu, but she didn't reveal anything. It was obvious that she was hiding something for her lover.

"You only know part of it," the fish-man boy said, "In fact, there are three blood cores in total."

"Three?!" Zi Di and Cang Xu shouted in unison.

"That's right." The boy continued, "The first one is inside my body."

"Do you still remember when we were in danger in the spider forest?" The fish-man boy looked at Zidi, "At that time, my hands mutated into bear claws and killed the silver blade spider."

"I know." Zidi smiled lightly. Looking back now, her heart was full of sweetness.

"I had a lot of doubts about my ability to transform into a beast. Later, I gradually discovered that the blood core in my body was the source of the mutation."

"It was because I used my first blood core that I repeatedly escaped danger and defeated all kinds of man-made monsters along the way."

"Later, I saw the second blood core, which was the one on the third floor of the central tower. At that time, I had a strong desire to devour it."

"Although no one taught me, I relied on instinct to swallow the second blood core."

"The two blood nuclei are fused together."

"I used this blood core to destroy the Flame Dragon King."

"Wha, what?!" Zi Di opened her mouth in surprise.

"The Flame Dragon King is dead?!" Cang Xu also showed shock. He thought that this legendary dragon was exiled to outer space in the big explosion.

The young man nodded: "I have no choice. The negotiation with the Flame Dragon King failed at that time, and we are not sure that the self-destruction of the Mysterious Island can kill it. Once it cannot be killed, it can easily find us, kill us, and take back the artifact.

and military exploits.”

"The blood core can actually kill the legendary strong man?" Zi Di was stunned.

"That's not the case." The young man explained patiently, "My first blood core can't even be transformed into the python vine in the river. After absorbing the second one, it can swallow legendary life, but it must be done when the target is unable to do anything.

In the case of resistance, the Flame Dragon King at that time, as you know, happened to be sealed by the war dealer's alchemy circle and could not move."

"Before he died, the Flame Dragon King once relented and begged for mercy. But I couldn't believe it. I don't have a strong contract in my hand. We are too weak."
