Shanshan did not hide the malice in her eyes at all.

Xie Yao raised her eyes to look at her, her expression calm and composed, not at all aware of being questioned, "I won't choose either."

Shan Shan frowned and sneered, "Want to use force?"

"You can try it!"

She was never afraid!

Just as she said just now, she only has one life, and if she dies, Xiao Ji will also die.

Shanshan reacted strongly, but Xie Yao just shook her head slightly.

No matter what she chose, she would be at a disadvantage if she followed Shanshan's wishes. What she had to do was to break away from the rules set by Shanshan.

Shanshan put her and Xiao Ji on the two ends of the scale and asked her to make a choice.

Xie Yao followed suit and asked Shan Shan, "Even if you don't think about yourself, don't you think about your people?"

"As far as I know, your parents died when you were young, and you were raised by your tribe. Until you were ten years old, your extraordinary talent was discovered and you were chosen as a saint..."

Xie Yao said this while observing Shanshan's expression.

Shanshan looked indifferent, even a bit disdainful, but her slightly curled and white fingertips gripping the water cup betrayed her inner thoughts.

Xie Yao said it all without giving Shanshan a chance to pretend, "It seems like you still care."

Shanshan's eyes flashed with murderous intent. If Xie Yao died...

Reason prevented her from taking action. She knew very well that if she did, Xiao Ji would never let her and her clan members go.

"Everyone is responsible for their own actions." After being exposed, Shanshan no longer tried to hide it, "If you have anything to say, come to me!"

Although... those people are annoying, but...

After all, I have called her a saint, so I am hers.

Xie Yao said, "Miss Shanshan chose very quickly."

Shan Shan snorted, "It's better than you!"

"Xie Yao, does Xiao Ji know about your hesitation and uncertainty?"

Xie Yao answered the question irrelevantly: "Since Miss Shanshan has made her choice, then we can talk about what comes next."

Shan Shan snorted coldly, "Since you want to know so much, I'll tell you. The saint of our tribe will have a life-defining Gu, which can revive the dead."

She said proudly: "That's why I said, no one in this world can save Xiao Ji except me!"

Xie Yao, "What's the price?"

"My natal Gu is mine. If I save someone, that person's life will naturally be mine, living and dying together."

Shan Shan spread her hands and said, "Now you know I didn't lie to you, right?"

What she said was true; she and Xiao Ji were a perfect match.

"Do you like Xiao Ji?" Xie Yao's question caught her off guard.

Shanshan was completely bewildered. What? What? Had she heard wrongly? What was Xie Yao talking about?

Who do you like?

"You don't like him." Xie Yao got the answer quickly.

After hearing her question, Shanshan showed eight hundred expressions in one second, but there was no shyness or happiness, but more confusion.

"Money?" Xie Yao looked at Shan Shan and shook her head gently, "You are not a money-loving person."

"Power? Not really."

"Lust...you don't want His Highness as a person." Xie Yao looked at Shan Shan with sharp eyes, "Then why do you insist on marrying Xiao Ji?"

Shan Shan's eyelids twitched, and she said, "Of course it's because he and I are a perfect match."

"Xie Yao, even if I don't want to marry him, can you accept Xiao Ji and I living and dying together?"

Shanshan threw the question to Xie Yao instead.

"As long as he's alive." Xie Yao answered decisively and firmly, but her heart was in turmoil.

Whenever I think of this sentence, I feel a strange sour feeling in my nose.

Shan Shan was speechless for a moment, then said, "Anyway, the condition is to choose one of these two. You can choose it yourself."

Shan Shan said considerately, "You'd better think about it quickly. Xiao Ji looks like he has more than a year left, but his health will deteriorate the longer he lives."

"Even if you bring me a corpse, I won't be able to use it."

Shanshan stood up and left. This was the first time she met Xie Yao alone but did not attack her.

Xie Yao didn't move immediately. She was wondering what the word "use" that Shanshan had just said meant.

When Shanshan went out, she saw someone standing outside the box opposite her, separated by an open area.

She raised her hand and then went down the stairs.

Xie Yao hadn't left the box yet, but Xiao Ji came in first. Just looking at Shanshan's expression just now, he was very worried about Yaoyao.

"Are you done talking?" Xiao Ji asked.

"Hmm." Xie Yao came back to her senses, raised her eyes and smiled at Xiao Ji, "Your Highness, I seem to have some clues."

Shanshan... may not be unable to cooperate.

Xiao Ji: ???

We agreed to just chat once, what’s going on, Yaoyao?

But when he met Xie Yao's sparkling eyes, Xiao Ji could only swallow back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"Okay." He heard his own indulgent voice.

The first thing Xie Yao did when she returned to the Prince's Mansion was to find Si Bei. After some instructions, Si Bei responded with a stern expression and quickly turned and left.

"Even I can't listen to it?" After Si Bei left, Xiao Ji's voice, slightly sad and resentful, sounded.

Xie Yao raised her brows and looked at Xiao Ji.

She hasn't even bothered His Highness yet, but His Highness is asking about her first?

"So, Your Highness already knew why Shanshan was able to save Your Highness."

Xiao Ji's eyes flickered for a moment, "Yaoyao, this matter..."

Xie Yao threw herself into Xiao Ji's arms, holding his waist tightly with both hands, "Is Your Highness an idiot?"

Holding the soft jade and warm fragrance in his arms, Xiao Ji felt that his life was complete. After listening to Xie Yao's words, he paused slightly and patted her back rhythmically with his broad hands.

"Your Highness."

Xie Yao said: "No one is more important than yourself!"

If it were her...

"Yes." Xiao Ji lowered his head and kissed Xie Yao's forehead, looking at her seriously and said, "Zhao Zhao, Sui Sui, you are more important than myself."

He had already lost the will to live, but Xie Yao rekindled his hope.

He will never deviate from his original intention.

As for Shanshan... if Xie Yao doesn't want to move, then she can stay put for the time being. She will always be under her nose and won't cause any waves.

As soon as Shanshan entered the deserted house, someone came forward and asked hurriedly, "What's going on? Is Xie Yao dead?"
