n981 Chapter 981

nQiqi loved her fur and had spent a lot of time and effort to keep her coat plush.

nUpon seeing this, Qiqi’s hair stood on end. She did not hesitate to use the secret technique in her body, causing her entire body to become huge.

nHer body instantly extinguished the flames, but she could not break through the barrier no matter what. As a result, her entire body was pushed up and squeezed together.

nQiqi’s face directly reached the boundary of the barrier, and she was in extreme pain.

n“Damn it, what is this thing? Why can’t I break through?”

nShe could not help but mutter to herself. However, she was unwilling to give up and kept pushing forward.

nHowever, the consequences only made her feel more pain. Jiang Ming originally thought that she would burst, but he sat down leisurely when he saw this.

n“If you beg me, I’ll release you.”

nQiqi smiled.

nShe had never begged anyone before in her life, but Jiu Zhu actually wanted her to. It was quite wishful thinking.

n“Impossible,” she said firmly.

n“Oh, then you can stay here. I think you enjoy staying here.”

nJiang Ming was not in a hurry. He poured himself some tea and began to drink it slowly.

nHe wanted to see how long Qiqi could last.

n“Isn’t it just a barrier? I don’t believe that I can’t get out.”

nQiqi continued to be stubborn. The strength in her body was fully unleashed, but she still could not break it.

n“Hey, are you just going to ignore me like this?”

nAfter a while, she found that Jiang Ming was still drinking tea, and she could not help but become a little impatient.

nTheir relationship was not so bad that she had to be locked up.

nShe felt that this mortal was simply unreasonable.

n“Can’t you open it? Why are you still asking me?”

nJiang Ming found it funny.

nHe had to wait until she begged for mercy before considering it.

n“No, we’re all from the Lin family after all. Logically speaking, we should have the same views. You’d better let me go.”

nSeeing that the hard way did not work, Qiqi decided to go soft and lowered her voice.

n“That’s not what you said just now. Didn’t you say that you’re the Lin family’s blessing? Then, I can’t compare to you. I’m of no use to the Lin family. I’ll just drink my tea.”

nJiang Ming pretended to raise his teacup with a smile on his face. Qiqi’s expression instantly changed.

nHe was so arrogant!

n“How about this? As long as you save me, I’ll give you what I’ve treasured for many years. This thing is a great tonic for humans.”

nAt the end, Qiqi was also a little arrogant.

nShe did not believe that Jiang Ming would not be tempted by something cultivated by a spirit beast that was tens of millions of years old.

nWhen Jiang Ming released her from the barrier, she would be shameless again. He would not be able to do anything to her.

n“How do I know that you won’t play dirty?”

nJiang Ming saw through Qiqi’s thoughts and sized her up.

n“Besides, it’s yours, right? I’m afraid I don’t need it. You should keep it for yourself.”

nHearing the last sentence, Qiqi’s defense was broken. She immediately took out the treasure from her pocket.

nCoincidentally, it was the same shell as the one in Jiang Ming’s pocket.

nJiang Ming could not help but laugh.

n“I also have one of those. This is a coincidence. No wonder we met in the Lin family.”

n“How is this possible? Yours is definitely a fake shell. Mine is the real one.”

nQiqi raised her right hand and patted the shell’s back.

nThe shell immediately shrunk into a ball, forming a circle.

nThe circle turned into a ring, and there was a golden fish swimming in the ring, blowing bubbles from time to time.

n“See? This fish is real.”

nQiqi began to gloat again.

nJiang Ming also took out the shell. Unexpectedly, the two shells suddenly attracted each other and merged together.

n“My shell!”

nQiqi panicked, and she started crying.

nHer spiritual energy had been sucked away, and the shell was actually going to follow Jiang Ming.

nThis was a treasure that she had nurtured with great difficulty. She could not just leave like this.

nJiang Ming raised his finger, and a beam of light shone on it.

nThe shell was instantly covered by light, and Jiang Ming felt an inexplicable attraction to it.

nHe could not help but close his eyes, and the shell instantly appeared in front of him.

nThere was a kind of power that was constantly rotating in his body.

nHe could not help but open his eyes, and a purple-red light flashed in his eyes.

nQiqi was shocked. “Are you the owner of this shell?” she asked anxiously.

nShe could not help but gulp.

nShe had stolen the shell and did not know who it belonged to.

n“I’m not its owner. So, this shell isn’t yours either, huh?”

nJiang Ming grinned.

nWhy was Qiqi snatching things from others?

nQiqi coughed and put her hands on her hips. “I’m making the best use of it. If it weren’t for me, this shell wouldn’t have such great power. You should thank me. You’d better give me the shell. I’ve poured a lot of my strength into it. It was not right for me to take it, but I also paid for it.”

n“Here you go.”

nJiang Ming threw the shell over.

nQiqi caught it happily, but she realized that there was no spiritual energy in it.

n“This spiritual energy is mine. You should return it to me!”

nHer face darkened as she threw the shell on the ground.

nThe shell split into two, and she glared at Jiang Ming.

n“This spiritual energy doesn’t recognize you either.”

nJiang Ming turned around and planned to leave.

nNow that he had absorbed the spiritual energy, there was no need to stay here anymore.

n“Hey, come back here!”

nQiqi was so angry that she screamed. Her entire body swelled up. She kept trying to break through the barrier, but it was useless.

n“Jiu Zhu, I won’t let you off. Just you wait!”

nPanting, she shrank back to her original size.

nRight now, everyone in the Lin family was panicking. The disappearance of the Shang family’s old madam had given them a huge blow.

nMaster Lin was already furious. He held a whip tightly in his hand and kept cursing.

n“If you can’t even protect a single person, what do I need you for? I’m afraid you’ve gotten too complacent.”

nA group of guards were kneeling on the ground. Their bodies were covered in welts from the whip, and they did not dare to say a word.

nLin Shu sat at the side and comforted Master Lin. “Father, Grandma Shang probably went elsewhere. She will definitely be found. Don’t worry for the time being.”

nOn the path that Jiang Ming walked, some servants were already whispering.

n“This old lady seems to be a monster. She just disappeared after walking for a while. Normal people don’t have this kind of ability.”

n“We have never seen this old madam from the Shang family. She always wears a veil. It is said that she will only take it off when she sees Master Lin. She is probably a monster.”
