"What do you think?"

Mu Jinyu heard Xilin's trembling inquiry with a hint of a sob, and replied with a faint smile.

His gaze gradually took on a touch of impatience.

Xilin saw his gaze, and her heart couldn't help but tremble, feeling that this guy seemed to be serious...

Suddenly, she felt that she had indeed picked the wrong time and the wrong means to manipulate others, especially when she was still a prisoner, without any guarantee of personal safety; she shouldn't have acted like this...

"Fine, I can teach you this method, but I have conditions... Otherwise, I would rather die than tell you!"

Xilin took a deep breath, suppressing the fear and unease in her heart, mustering the courage that Mu Jinyu's aura had left and shouted loudly.

"Don't even think about threatening to suppress me in a cesspit. I have ways to die on my own before you can make a move..."

Mu Jinyu frowned, but quickly relaxed, and said in a deep voice, "Go ahead, I'll consider it..."

Although she didn't get a guarantee, Xilin still felt a sense of relief.

After all, they could still negotiate the terms.

If she really had to choose suicide at the verge of being thrown into a cesspit, Xilin still wasn't willing.

Given the choice, she naturally still hoped to live!

Meanwhile, Xia Ruochen and Bai Xiaosheng and the others stayed silent, holding their breath, not daring to interrupt Mu Jinyu as he negotiated.

As for those still infected by Demonic Qi, they were very nervous, worried that if Mu Jinyu and Xilin clashed and couldn't come to terms, he might just send her to the cesspit, forcing her to death!

Moreover, even though it would be a pity if such a beautiful woman died, the method to save them was still in Xilin's hands; they couldn't possibly want her to die in vain.

If she died, what would they do?

Just wait for their own demise?

'Sigh...'

They sighed inwardly, hoping Mu Jinyu wouldn't let the negotiations with Xilin collapse, or else they'd be doomed.

Xilin didn't know what these people were thinking. At the moment, she felt helpless; when Mu Jinyu said he'd consider her conditions, she no longer held any lavish hopes of making Mu Jinyu kneel and beg her, or to bring out the Divine Plant, restore her freedom, or have him die afterward.

She estimated she could only achieve one or two of these conditions, right?

Xilin thought, making Mu Jinyu kneel and beg, and having him die afterward didn't hold much meaning for her.

After all, being humiliated at Mu Jinyu's place had already happened, and even if Mu Jinyu died as an apology, it couldn't make her forget all that had happened!

Therefore, getting the Divine Plant to restore her freedom was most important!

With freedom restored and the Divine Plant in hand, how could someone as cheap and foolish as Mu Jinyu understand the marvelous uses of the Divine Plant?

By then, possessing the Divine Plant, her strength would increase dramatically, and effortlessly she could crush this guy!

Thus, without much hesitation, Xilin spoke: "First, you must lift the restrictions on me and restore my freedom. Second..."

"What method did you use to invade their bodies just now? I'm a bit interested in that; give it to me as well..."

Xilin certainly wouldn't directly mention the Divine Plant by name; doing so would only draw Mu Jinyu's attention, letting him see the importance of the Divine Plant, and he might not hand it over to her.

She could only act like it wasn't something valuable, only something she was interested in, to better wrest it away from Mu Jinyu.

"Something that invaded their bodies?"

Hearing Xilin's first condition, Mu Jinyu remained expressionless, as he had already guessed she would make such a demand.

On this point, he was still considering how to give her freedom while still restraining her, considering she was Void Breaking Realm; if she went berserk, the damage would be terrifying!

When he heard Xilin's second condition, at first he didn't understand, thinking she meant Soul Search or something, but soon he realized this woman was referring to the Three-Leaf Youlian rooted in him.

"Hmm?!"

Mu Jinyu looked up at Xilin, squinting his eyes.

After she stated her conditions, she continued to display an indifferent demeanor, as if she wasn't very concerned about the Three-Leaf Youlian, just mildly interested in it, which made Mu Jinyu want to chuckle.

"Impossible!"

Mu Jinyu flatly refused, his expression turning cold.

He didn't expect that almost no one could perceive the two Divine Plants within him, not even Mu Shao'ai, yet Xilin, this woman, had such a keen sense to detect the Three-Leaf Youlian's presence and dare to demand it from him, to which he naturally couldn't agree!

"Dragon King!"

"Dragon King, think again..."

When everyone heard Mu Jinyu flatly refuse Xilin's condition, their expressions changed dramatically.

Xia Ruochen and the others merely furrowed their brows, feeling that this might not be right.

Those who feared being scapegoats and dying unexpectedly involuntarily began advising Mu Jinyu not to impulsively refuse Xilin's conditions.

They didn't know or understand Xilin's strength or the terrifying effects of the Three-Leaf Youlian, only feeling that Xilin's conditions weren't excessive and that the Dragon King could simply agree.

"Shut up!"

Mu Jinyu turned his head, giving them a cold glance, and sternly rebuked them.

Hearing Mu Jinyu's reprimand, they suddenly felt a bucket of icy water pouring on their heads, leaving them chilled and shivering, no longer daring to speak.

They remembered Mu Jinyu's fearsome nature; where did they have the right to meddle in his decisions?

Each of them sulkily remained silent, not daring to voice their thoughts.

Xilin didn't expect Mu Jinyu to reject her demands without thinking, leaving her momentarily stunned.

A surge of anger quickly rose in her heart!

This guy is too much, isn't he?

Are my conditions excessive?

I was free to begin with, and being inexplicably captured by him with restrictions placed, is it excessive to ask to be restored?

And, he doesn't even know the Divine Plant's use. Why selfishly keep it?

Especially now when he's so concerned about this scapegoat's conspiracy! His Divine Plant can't help him, yet it's excessive to trade the Divine Plant for a solution?

Xilin truly couldn't understand what reason Mu Jinyu had to refuse her!

Seeing everyone fall silent, Mu Jinyu looked at Xilin and said in a deep voice, "Come with me; let's talk privately!"

With that, Mu Jinyu took off, soaring into the sky.

Xilin couldn't resist, feeling an overwhelming aura pushing her, making her involuntarily follow Mu Jinyu into the air.

However, Xilin wasn't nervous or indulging in wild thoughts, fearing Mu Jinyu would do something inappropriate to her.

She was only thinking that Mu Jinyu might agree to her conditions.

After all, with so many people below, and given the chatter of the crowd, if he agreed immediately, it would be a loss of face. By finding a secluded place where they could talk privately, if he agreed, no one would know, and he wouldn't be embarrassed!

Yes, it must be like that...

Xilin was full of excitement.

She began to eagerly look forward to the moment when she regained her freedom, with the Divine Plant in hand!
