Chapter 730: Chapter 734: The Return of The Crystal Stones 2
Bai Que disregarded Bai Ling entirely.
The same steps were taken.
As Bai Que placed the Crystal Stone into the slot, everyone held their breath.
Bai Ling was no exception; she was waiting for Bai Que to be sent flying like she was so that she could ridicule him!
But it didn’t happen!
The Fire Crystal Stone was securely affixed to the empty space, its fiery radiance flowed between the stones, reflecting each other’s glow with the brown Earth Crystal Stone next to it.
Bai Que turned around, smiling provocatively at Bai Ling.
Bai Ling clenched her teeth so hard that she drew blood from her gums; she glared hatefully at Bai Que, trembling uncontrollably.
Seeing that the Fire Crystal Stone was successfully placed, Liao Li quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned his gaze towards the trio of Gaiyin, "It’s your turn."
Xi’en took the initiative to place the Wooden Crystal Stone in the second empty space.
Xi was calm and poised, ready to step forward.
Thinking about how Bai Ling was just flung away, Su Tang knew that Maya hadn’t deceived them.
So she quickly nudged Qiu Mo.
Qiu Mo understood and reached out to stop Xi, "Brother, this seems fun, can I give it a try?"
Xi hesitated for a moment, but he didn’t overthink it. Plus, there was no danger in placing the stone. If Qiu Mo liked it, he definitely wouldn’t compete with her over it.
Xi nodded and handed the Crystal Stone to Qiu Mo, "Are you scared of pain? Do you want to use my blood?"
A flash of realization hit Su Tang! 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
The reason she let Qiu Mo go first was because she didn’t want to use Xi’s blood.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be easy to reveal the truth if they were repelled later?
Hai Qin had pulled Xi into this without telling him his true heritage, which suggested that he didn’t want Xi to know.
On top of that, they were about to enter the Wood Immortal Mansion - who knew what sorts of difficulties they might encounter inside. It would be bad if they were distracted by this and caused some unrecoverable disaster.
She quickly poked Gaiyin’s waist and whispered, "Ayin, quick, give me a needle!"
Gaiyin casually called forth a needle and handed it to Su Tang.
With the needle in hand, Su Tang squeezed past Xi with a crafty smile, "Come on, let me prick you gently. It won’t hurt at all or leave any wound."
The long needle reflected a trembling chill under the sun, coupled with Su Tang’s mischievous smile, cold sweat trickled down Qiu Mo’s spine.
She couldn’t help but back down.
However, once this thought entered her mind, she remembered what Su Tang had whispered in her ear earlier.
"If you replace Xi to place the Crystal Stone, and if we can safely escape from the Wood Immortal Mansion, I will make my brother propose to you!"
Qiu Mo couldn’t help but swallow saliva.
Ah, it was undoubtedly a heart-stirring proposition.
No no no, she wasn’t pining for Yadang!
Qiu Mo steeled her heart, stretched out her hand in front of Su Tang, closed her eyes, and said with an air of resignation, "Do it!"
Su Tang couldn’t help but laugh. She quickly pricked Qiu Mo’s hand, squeezing a drop of blood onto the Crystal Stone.
"Alright, quickly go and place the Crystal Stone!"
Qiu Mo, slightly surprised, opened her eyes, "Is that all?"
Su Tang reached over and tapped Qiu Mo on the head, "How else do you want it? Do you want me to prick you a few more times?"
Qiu Mo immediately pulled back her hand, clinging to the stone, and hurriedly inserted it into the empty space.
By now, four Crystal Stones were embedded on the door, leaving only the first opening - the Gold Crystal Stone that Gaiyin held.
Su Tang gave Gaiyin a soft smile, "Go ahead, I’ll wait for you here."
Without any surprises, Gaiyin stepped forward and steadily placed the Gold Crystal Stone in its place.
