Charles suddenly felt his body being strongly squeezed, and his entire body was hugged and lifted up by a strong and powerful creature from behind.

Ye Xi, on the other hand, felt a dangerous aura. When she reacted, she found that the other party had already held her hostage with sharp claws.

"what!"

Charles screamed, and a very obscene laugh came from behind her. Ye Xi just stood there motionless, because she was in a difficult situation at the moment.

Ye Xi recognized at a glance that the man behind Xiaer was the drunk fool that night, but he didn't understand why he appeared here.

Compared to this, Ye Xi was more concerned about the guy behind him.

"Don't move. If you don't want her to die, just be quiet."

A woman's voice came from behind, and Ye Xi could understand that the person holding him hostage was not a human being, but a "doll" without any breath of life.

"Excuse me...have you seen my doll?"

Another voice came into Ye Xi's ears, but this time the voice was a little hoarse.

The voice sounded like that of a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old, with the same height as an average girl, and inexplicably lifelike.

"You've kept us waiting, but why do you want me to subdue this elf?"

"Because your methods are too rough. Remember, this guy belongs to me."

A mysterious person in a black robe stood three meters away from the back of the doll. It was a woman, with a hood covering her face. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised with a hint of success.

Although the strong man was very unconvinced, considering the gap in status and strength, he smacked his lips helplessly.

"I didn't expect you to hold a grudge." Ye Xi said to the burly man.

"Little devil, even if I don't hold a grudge, my original intention was to kill you."

"Your wanted poster has spread to all the countries. For the high reward, those people will travel thousands of miles to take your head in person, including me."

"But unfortunately, this legendary judge can only belong to me. You no longer have a chance." The mysterious man said coldly.

Ye Xi roughly understood that the strong man wanted to take his life back to claim the reward, but this mysterious man had other plans.

Charles had been struggling hard, wanting to say something but unable to express himself. He could only wait and observe. The strong man's muscles were all squeezed red by Charles' fair skin.

"Since your target is me, what does it have to do with her?"

"Of course not, but she is your travel companion after all. You need to restrain her first so we can have a good conversation."

Ye Xi was also very patient. Xiaer had not suffered any serious injuries at the moment. Being held in the arms of a strong man and hung in the air gave him a feeling of being "forced".

"Talk? What do you want to talk about?"

"It's simple. If you come with us, she can stay."

"Is it that simple?"

"It's that simple."

As expected, they came for him. They first took Charles as a hostage and then let him choose.

"What if I don't agree to go with you?"

"Oh, then I'm afraid something bad will happen."

Ye Xi understood without thinking what she meant by "bad things". If she refused, Xiaer might be hurt.

This is a matter of life and death for Charles, and the strong man over there will not let him and Charles go so easily.

"Of course, you can also choose to leave and she stays."

The mysterious man once again proposed a choice, but this made the strong man unhappy.

"Let her go? Impossible!"

"And I tell you, that guy must stay today, and this high elf can also be sold to a slave trader."

When Charles heard the words "being sold to a slave trader", he was startled and fear appeared on his face.

She began to become restless and struggled continuously in the strong man's hands, obviously recalling her past experiences in the slave dungeon.

"So have you thought about it?"

"Judging from your personality, I guess you wouldn't make unnecessary sacrifices for her, right?"

After being pulled for a long time, it returned to Ye Xi's hands. Xia Er's face looked very ugly. No matter how much he struggled, it was a waste of energy.

But Ye Xi remained calm and sighed silently.

"There's something wrong here."

"Your target has always been me. No matter what I choose, one of you will have an opinion."

This is equivalent to a dead end question. No matter what choice is made, someone will be hurt.

"I choose everyone to be safe and sound, okay?"

Ye Xi chose his own answer. After a moment of silence, the strong man's laughter was heard.

"Hahaha! Are you serious?"

"That's really funny, but that won't work." The mysterious man chuckled.

Ye Xi felt a little helpless, then looked at Xia Er and gave him a look.

Although Ciel noticed it, he didn't understand the meaning. This situation might be a hint to prepare for a counterattack.

"Since I can't, then I won't choose it."

"Have you finally given up struggling?"

"No, it's to answer your question."

"About me doing something extreme for Ciel?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xi leaned his body against the sharp claw, which pierced his chest directly. A large amount of blood gushed out. This scene scared the three people present.

What they didn't expect was that Ye Xi, whose chest was pierced by the sharp claws, did not lose his ability to move. Instead, he directly broke off the doll's claws, turned around and kicked it away.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, before the sturdy man could react to what had just happened, Ye Xi immediately raised his pistol and quickly pulled the trigger. The bullet flew towards the sturdy man's head and hit him right in the forehead.

The strong man's head exploded instantly, which was a direct result of his death. A ball of bright red blood and some off-white sticky substance burst out.

Xia's pupils suddenly trembled and he suddenly fell down from above.

His body was covered in blood, and the strong smell of blood instantly hit him in the face.

“My answer is yes.”

Ye Xi casually took off the claws on her chest. Even though her body was covered in her own blood, she stood there as if nothing had happened.

There were three more wounds of the same size on his body, exposing his internal muscles. Blood flowed down the wounds, and the broken claws were also stained with some minced meat.

"Ye Xi...you..."

Charles was not afraid when he saw the miserable condition of the strong man, but Ye Xi could not hide his shock and worry.

Her wound was directly pierced by the claws, which means that the flesh inside and the scene on the other side can be seen through the hole.

Ye Xi casually picked off some of the meat from the claws and put it into his mouth to chew. This disgusting scene made Charles exclaim in surprise.

"Don't be afraid. This is my own flesh, and it will heal soon."

Ye Xi threw his claws away, and the flesh on his body was indeed recovering visibly, without even a scar, and it was back to normal.

Charles is increasingly unable to understand what Ye Xi is. Hidden beneath her cute exterior is a true face more terrifying than a demon.
