CHAPTER 1548: CHAPTER 1548: A SPECIAL WAY TO SAVE LIVES

After getting off the car, Luo Yang saw Hua XiYi drive away.

Only then did Luo Yang flag down a taxi, get in the car, and first call Lord Bao.

When it connected, he said, "I’m taking a taxi over, is that okay?"

He wasn’t sure if anyone was following him. If he was being followed and then discovered by the people at Skull Fortress, they might suspect Luo Yang was leading an attack on Skull Fortress, which would have even more severe consequences.

"It’s better to head to that village, someone will pick you up there," Lord Bao replied coldly.

So, Luo Yang instructed the driver on the address, directing them to the village.

Upon arrival, as expected, a vehicle from Skull Fortress came to pick up Luo Yang.

In the car, Luo Yang was brainstorming rapidly.

If he couldn’t persuade Lord Bao this time, Luo Yang might lose his life.

Trying to rescue Shuiyue and Jinghua was indeed very difficult.

Figuring out how to bring the two beauties back safely was a major challenge.

One thing that was obvious without even thinking about it was that Lord Bao was already furious.

If he couldn’t calm Lord Bao down a bit, things would turn very bad.

Lord Bao herself was a cruel person, and in the heat of anger, reason would perish. It’s frightening to imagine what terrible things she might do.

Besides, Lord Bao had long wanted to kill Shuiyue and Jinghua.

It was only because Luo Yang had pleaded for mercy at the time that she didn’t act.

Now that there was a legitimate reason to kill Shuiyue and Jinghua, Lord Bao wouldn’t hold back.

Calling Luo Yang over was probably just to let him watch the two beauties being killed, as a warning.

After all, Lord Bao still needed Luo Yang’s help to find Blood Devil, so she wouldn’t kill him for the time being.

Fortunately, Lord Bao didn’t know that Luo Yang had already obtained Blood Devil; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to leave this time.

To say that Luo Yang held no trump cards would be incorrect.

Both Lord Bao and Shuimei needed Luo Yang to cure their strange illnesses.

This alone was enough to keep Luo Yang alive.

If he could perform even better on the spot, maybe there was hope for Shuiyue and Jinghua to continue living.

However, whether he could take Shuiyue and Jinghua away was still unknown.

Perhaps Lord Bao would keep the two women as hostages until Luo Yang helped her find Blood Devil.

If this were the case, it would bode ill for Shuiyue and Jinghua.

Luo Yang couldn’t possibly hand Blood Devil over to Lord Bao.

Lost in these chaotic thoughts, he arrived at his destination.

After getting out of the car, Luo Yang walked familiarly into the basement.

The closer he got to where Lord Bao was, the more nervous he felt.

First, he came to the pool where Shuimei was. She was there, gazing resentfully at Luo Yang.

"You, deceived us!" Shuimei said coldly.

"You’ve misunderstood. I didn’t deceive you. It’s not something that can be explained in a few words. Shuimei dear, let me explain to Madam Teng first, then I’ll come back to talk to you," said Luo Yang.

He reached out to grab Shuimei’s hand, said goodbye to her, and continued deeper inside.

It was quite silent inside, and Luo Yang felt very tense.

He worried that if he saw the severed heads of Shuiyue and Jinghua, it would be a regret for a lifetime.

No matter what, Shuiyue and Jinghua really wanted to live.

But Luo Yang hadn’t protected them well, letting them lose their lives.

Though Luo Yang wasn’t directly responsible for harming them, he couldn’t deny his indirect connection.

If he could hear Shuiyue and Jinghua’s cries, that would be a relief.

Besides silently praying, there wasn’t much else he could do.

In moments of such prayer, Luo Yang was indeed a devout believer.

Old Shi, please protect me, Amitabha.

Old Ye, please bless me, Amen.

With each step, he chanted once more.

By the time he reached Lord Bao, Luo Yang was already drenched in sweat.

He took a quick glance around and didn’t see Shuiyue and Jinghua!

On the bed covered in foliage-covered mosquito netting, Lord Bao mostly lay there.

Without lifting the mosquito net, and with the dim light, Luo Yang couldn’t see clearly whether Lord Bao was inside.

Having come this far, he still hadn’t thought of the best words to say.

But here he was, so he decided to be cautious now that he was in the situation.

"Madam Teng."

This was testing the waters.

Gently calling once, he waited to see what would happen.

He would then adapt to circumstances accordingly.

By now, Luo Yang was prepared to unleash his utmost eloquence, though slightly nervous, it might affect his performance.

After a few seconds of silence, there was no response.

Clearly, Lord Bao was already in a fit of rage.

Of course, she might not even be on the bed.

Luo Yang had no choice but to step closer, and softly call again, "Madam Teng."

The mosquito net moved slightly, indicating that Lord Bao was on the bed.

At this moment, Luo Yang always felt like Lord Bao might spring from the bed to attack.

Luckily, with Shadow Boxing, he should automatically gain some defensive ability, enough to evade Lord Bao’s assault.

After taking a calming pill, he felt a bit more steady.

He watched as the mosquito net slowly opened a slit, inside it was dark, but faintly, he could see Lord Bao staring intently through the gap at Luo Yang.

The fate of Shuiyue and Jinghua, whether alive or dead, remained unclear, but he couldn’t ask about them first.

If he took the wrong step, the situation could become irretrievable.

The first correct step should be to try to calm Lord Bao’s anger as much as possible.

If it could be reduced to just above a normal level, all the better.

Whether he had that capability remained to be tested by Luo Yang’s impromptu performance.

With sweat in his palms, he took a deep breath before walking a few more steps to the bed.

Exhaling stale air, he took another deep breath, then sat on the edge of the bed.

At this moment he was truly worried Lord Bao might stab him, still, Luo Yang was on edge.

Fortunately, after sitting down, there was no immediate danger.

What remained was to lift the mosquito net open.

But since Lord Bao did not take the initiative to move the net, Luo Yang had to softly call again: "Madam Teng."

Still no reply from within.

So Luo Yang slowly opened the mosquito net, seeing Lord Bao sitting stiffly on the bed. It was clear she was both angry and disappointed.

In Lord Bao’s view, she thought she had met a truly considerate and devoted young man.

But it was all a fantasy in the end.

If it weren’t for still needing Luo Yang for many things, she would probably have killed him by now.

Having seen Lord Bao, the next step was to get her to allow a path for survival.

Whether Shuiyue and Jinghua had already perished was still unknown.

Luo Yang really wanted to ask immediately, yet feared it would further inflame Lord Bao’s anger.

After thinking it over, he had to hold back.

"Madam Teng, before I came, I thought of a way that might restore you to your original state. But it takes some risks, if it succeeds, please release Sister Yue and Sister Jing," Luo Yang said.

Lord Bao still remained silent, heightening Luo Yang’s worry that Shuiyue and Jinghua had already been killed.

If the two beauties were dead, Luo Yang wouldn’t even know what point there was in remaining here to talk to Lord Bao.

Still, he had to be careful not to provoke Lord Bao too much, otherwise the situation might worsen.

"Madam Teng, let me first explain about Sister Yue and Sister Jing. They were keen on getting pregnant. I said if they focused on having children, there wouldn’t be enough energy left to find Blood Devil. You can’t have both. I know you want Blood Devil more. So I took it upon myself to ask them to wait a few days, promising to satisfy them later. They had no choice but to listen to me."

Luo Yang said sincerely.

He didn’t expect Lord Bao to believe this explanation.

As long as she didn’t become further enraged, that would be a blessing, indeed.
