Chapter 300 I want you to go to one place
Fu Gui looked towards the end of the corridor, where there was only silent darkness, not even a ghost in sight.
He adjusted his glasses, his brows furrowing slightly, as if he were deep in thought.
After a moment's hesitation, he ultimately decided not to delve into the matter, but simply closed the door behind him and walked straight out.
He walked slowly and steadily out of the building, his figure disappearing into the dark night.
After leaving the main building complex of Mutian City, the surrounding houses gradually became lower and sparser, and the population became increasingly scarce.
Fu Gui walked to a secluded corner where no one was paying attention and looked around.
The moonlight was cool and clear, the shadows of the trees swayed gently, and only the occasional cry of an owl could be heard in the distance.
Fu Gui'er transformed into a king cobra, its scales gleaming coldly in the moonlight.
The king cobra's speed suddenly increased. It stayed close to the ground, like a silent black lightning bolt, and swiftly slithered out of Mutian City under the cover of building shadows and vegetation.
The scales made a very slight rustling sound as they rubbed against the ground, which quickly disappeared into the vast darkness of the night.
The walls of Mutian City receded further and further behind, and the surrounding scenery became increasingly desolate.
The trees grew denser, the road disappeared, leaving only wild grass and scattered rocks.
The king cobra's movement is not a straight line; it sometimes meanders and sometimes pauses.
Finally, after entering a wilderness far from the road, surrounded only by jagged rocks and sparse shrubs, the king cobra slowly came to a stop.
It raised its head, its cold, vertical pupils scanning the surrounding darkness, its forked tongue silently flickering, sensing the subtle fluctuations in the air.
A moment later, it transformed back into human form.
Fu Gui'er adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, faced the heavy shadows ahead, and said in a calm, even tone, "Come out. Aren't you tired of following me for so long?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it sounded exceptionally clear in the silent wilderness.
In the shadows, the air rippled as if on water, and a gray figure slowly emerged.
The gentle weariness that he had shown in front of Wenmeng was gone from Hui's face, and there was no particular expression on his face, except that his eyes were more profound than usual.
"Still so alert," Hui said calmly, stepping out of the shadows and standing a few steps away from Fugui'er.
Fu Gui'er looked at him and asked, "What is it that you need to bring me to a place like this to talk about?"
Hui shook his head slightly, his gaze sweeping over the desolate landscape around him: "Times have changed. It's always better to be cautious."
"Get to the point," Fu Gui'er said succinctly.
Hui didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I need you to go somewhere."
"where?"
"Moon Reef".
Fu Gui'er narrowed his eyes slightly behind his glasses and looked up at Hui: "Phantom Moon Reef? You're going to find him?"
The two of them clearly understood each other implicitly about this "him".
Hui nodded, his face remaining expressionless: "That's right. The current situation is more complicated than expected. I need his power."
Fu Gui'er was silent for a moment before saying, "Why the sudden rush? Wu Feng's failure, though unexpected, should still have been salvageable. Isn't everything still under your control?"
When the wind was mentioned, a crack finally appeared in the comet's calm mask.
Although he tried to maintain a steady tone, the chill in his words and the sudden surge of hatred and malice in his eyes revealed the turmoil within him.
"Control?" Hui's voice lowered, and he said through gritted teeth, "I really didn't expect that Wufeng would also fall into their hands! He had been building his business for many years, and his strength and methods were well understood by me. Moreover, he was empowered by magical beasts, and yet he died just like that..."
He took a deep breath, as if to suppress the raging anger surging within him, but his eyes grew even colder. "I underestimated Tiger City, and I underestimated that frail female and her mates..."
“Yuan Xiao…”
He pronounced the name with particular emphasis, his voice filled with unspeakable dread and hatred. "Her existence, her abilities, are a complete variable. Wufeng's plan was meticulous, and it was almost successful, but it all fell apart in their hands..."
Fu Gui listened quietly, his face expressionless, but the fingers adjusting his glasses tightened slightly.
Hui realized that the information he revealed was somewhat beyond Fugui's expectations.
"Wu Feng is dead? Are you sure?" Fu Gui'er asked.
Hui said coldly, "I can't wait any longer. His power might be able to help me."
Fu Gui'er remained silent, the moonlight shining on his delicate profile, his glasses reflecting a cool light that made it impossible to fathom his thoughts.
After a long while, he slowly spoke, his voice lower than before: "I want to see her."
This "she" also needs no explicit mention.
Hui seemed to have anticipated his request, and a fake smile, a mixture of helplessness and coldness, appeared on his face.
"Fugui, this is the last thing I need you to do. Once it's done, the situation will be settled. At that time, I will naturally release her and reunite you. I always keep my word, don't I?"
"The last thing?" Fu Gui'er repeated. "I remember, that's what it's always said."
Hui shrugged, feigning innocence: "Plans never keep up with changes. This time it's for real. After the trip to Phantom Moon Reef, regardless of success or failure, I will keep my promise and never break it."
Fu Gui'er suddenly raised his eyes, his gaze piercing through the lenses of his glasses, staring straight at Hui, as if he wanted to pierce through Hui's body.
All expression vanished from his face, leaving only a cold calm, but beneath this calm, a storm seemed to be brewing.
“I want to see Qinghan,” he said, each word as if pulled from an ice cellar. “Right now. Before I set off for Illusion Moon Reef.”
The fake smile on Hui's face slowly faded, and her eyes turned cold.
The air between the two seemed to freeze, and an invisible pressure spread out.
“Fugui’er,” Hui’s voice had lost its last warmth, becoming condescending and filled with nothing but naked threat, “You seem to have no right to bargain with me, do you?”
Fu Gui'er remained expressionless, but his aura became extremely dangerous, like a venomous snake poised to strike.
He said slowly, "You killed her."
Comet's pupils contracted slightly before returning to normal. He even chuckled softly, but there was no warmth in his laughter: "I didn't. Don't worry, she's fine. I'll take good care of her, and when you return from Illusion Moon Reef, I'll definitely reunite you two. I promise."
His word "guarantee" was quite meaningful.
Fu Gui'er stared intently at Hui, their gazes meeting in the air in a silent confrontation.
The moonlight was cold, the wilderness was silent, and only the rustling of the night wind through the bushes could be heard.
