    Chapter 85 Letting Go

    He originally wanted to keep him alive to create some trouble for the base, but he couldn’t resist his eagerness to die!

    Lu Yunzhou’s mouth hadn’t stopped; he was talking non-stop as if he had Xie YunChuan’s lifeline in his hands, becoming increasingly condescending and arrogant.

    His desire to die couldn’t be stopped!

    Xie YunChuan decided to grant his wish. After all, Lu Yunzhou had gone this far, and if he didn’t fulfill his request, it would seem like his own fault.

    With a gentle wave of his hand, two vines tightly wrapped around Lu Yunzhou’s neck, lifting him up and slowly moving him in front of Xie YunChuan.

    Relying solely on the strength of the vines around his neck to suspend Lu Yunzhou in the air, his body leaving the sofa, Lu Yunzhou heard the cracking sounds of bones shifting out of place. Under the threat of suffocation, the pain of moving his body was insignificant.

    Xie YunChuan looked at the flushed face close at hand and said coldly, “If you want to die, you can say it directly. There’s no need to go to such lengths. Killing you for no reason won’t cause me any psychological burden. There’s no need to give me a reason.”

    With his feet off the ground and his hands hanging down, he didn’t even have the strength to struggle. Like a dead body hanging limp, Lu Yunzhou gasped and said, word by word, “You… can’t… kill… me!”

    Xie YunChuan asked with interest, “Oh? Is that so?”

    He continued, “Give me a reason. I can kill you without a reason, but if you want to live now, it’s not as simple as just not wanting to die.”

    “Luo… Luo Shuyou!” Lu Yunzhou’s voice was weak. Despite Xie YunChuan’s words about needing a reason not to die, his actions didn’t give him a chance to breathe.

    But he knew how to seize the key point. He knew that no matter when or what, as long as he mentioned the three words “Luo Shuyou,” Xie YunChuan would hesitate.

    Sure enough, upon hearing this, Xie YunChuan’s expression darkened, and he threw Lu Yunzhou against the wall, causing him to fall to the ground.

    “Crack!”—This time, something really broke.

    “Ugh…!” The barely dry mouth was once again filled with viscous liquid, trickling down to the floor.

    The minimal recovery from the past day was completely undone, even worse than before!

    People just don’t learn until they’re beaten. After being tossed around a bit to clear his head, Lu Yunzhou immediately realized how carried away he had been. No wonder Xie YunChuan had murderous intentions.

    Jealousy makes people lose their minds. Ignoring the pain, Lu Yunzhou cursed how stupid he had been to threaten Xie YunChuan, a strongman with such a vast difference in combat power. He was a big shot who could crush him with a flick of his finger!

    The result was that he almost got crushed to death by Xie YunChuan’s hand.

    There was no turning back now. It was clearly impossible to play the emotional card, so he had to bite the bullet.

    Xie YunChuan was immune to both soft and hard tactics. The only thing that might make him change his mind was—Luo Shuyou!

    Before he could figure out what to say, Xie YunChuan’s cold voice came, “Have you thought up a reason yet?”

    Regardless of whether it was true or false, as long as it involved Luo Shuyou, Xie YunChuan didn’t mind letting Lu Yunzhou live a few more hours.

    It was also because Lu Yunzhou posed no threat to Xie YunChuan that Xie YunChuan treated him so casually, killing him if he wanted to, letting him go if he wanted to.

    As for Lu Yunzhou’s threatening words, Xie YunChuan didn’t care at all. What aroused his murderous intent was only that Lu Yunzhou dared to have designs on Luo Shuyou, which made Xie YunChuan very unhappy.

    Lu Yunzhou had to say, “Don’t… don’t you want to see if Cheng Xie’s research results are useful to Luo Shuyou? Then you can’t kill me.

    Because I am his most important test subject. Killing me would interrupt his experiment. Even if his medicine has shown initial results, further research is still needed.”

    Lu Yunzhou didn’t know exactly what Cheng Xie had done to him, nor did he know how far his research had progressed, but he knew that saying this would definitely make Xie YunChuan temporarily give up the idea of killing him.

    He succeeded.

    Xie YunChuan lowered his poised hand. “Not bad, not so hopelessly stupid after all.”

    So he knew he still had some use; no wonder he did such a reckless thing!

    Xie YunChuan really overestimated Lu Yunzhou. When he said those threatening words, he hadn’t thought about the consequences, let alone leaving himself a way out.

    He was simply blinded by greed, unable to see his own limitations.

    Xie YunChuan was a little troubled. Hearing what Lu Yunzhou said, he realized that he had already interrupted Cheng Xie’s experiment by bringing Lu Yunzhou out of the underground arena and killing those zombies.

    And Little White had also drawn out the virus in his body. He didn’t know how much value Lu Yunzhou had left.

    He shouldn’t have saved him; saving him always led to trouble.

    “You can go. Don’t cause any trouble, or I don’t mind destroying this base and killing you in passing.”

    Xie YunChuan was thinking: he’d leave Lu Yunzhou alive for now, and after he went to find Cheng Xie to understand the specific situation, if necessary, he’d catch Lu Yunzhou again for Cheng Xie to continue experimenting on.

    Lu Yunzhou didn’t dare to mention letting Little White heal him, tucked his tail between his legs, and silently shuffled towards the door, afraid that Xie YunChuan would suddenly react and knock the marrow out of his bones.

    Xie YunChuan frowned as he watched Lu Yunzhou slither across the ground like a beggar with broken legs.

    He looked at Little White, who was sleeping soundly, walked over, and kicked it twice. “Get up and heal him, at least enough so he can stand normally.”

    Xie YunChuan was afraid that Lu Yunzhou would be killed and his crystal core stolen as soon as he left this door. If he really was still useful, he wouldn’t even be able to retrieve his corpse.

    Usually, Xie YunChuan wasn’t gentle with Little White. Knowing that it had fed Luo Shuyou human meat yesterday, he didn’t hold back at all when kicking it.

    Little White was rudely awakened by the kicks and immediately bristled, thinking that some sudden crisis had arrived that made Xie YunChuan so urgent.

    In fact, Xie YunChuan wasn’t anxious at all. It was just that Little White thought he was kicking it without controlling his strength because he was so extremely urgent. It didn’t really hurt, after all, it wasn’t a real body, but the feeling was very clear.

    After looking around and seeing no one else except Lu Yunzhou, who was crawling around like a zombie, Little White looked up at Xie YunChuan in confusion, its eyes questioning: What’s up? Why are you disturbing the tiger’s beautiful dream early in the morning for no reason?

    Xie YunChuan knew at a glance that it hadn’t heard what he said just now, and repeated it patiently.

    He considered himself to be patient, but Little White’s bad temper was stirred up by him.

    This guy was sick, wanting one thing one minute and another the next, treating it, Little White, like his little follower, coming whenever he called!

    It was the most powerful and only tiger general under their family’s young treasure, not someone Xie YunChuan could command so casually.

    And he had such a bad attitude! It had given him face yesterday, but it wouldn’t do it today!

    Little White turned its head proudly to show its refusal.
