Chapter 42: Unexpected Change!_2

"Sister Hongxiu, should we try to run away?"

"Father is already dead, I can't lose you too."

The gentle voice was filled with a nasal tone.

"It's useless."

"The master is dead, without his protection, we can't escape. Even if we flee 'Mountain City', we will be caught and brought back, and things will be worse then."

"So we can only gamble, gamble that you can reach Fragrance City, gamble that those who will receive us are sincere, gamble that those within 'Si Hai Bang' acknowledge the 'Dragon Head Staff'."

A voice tinged with helplessness reached Jason's ears.

Clearly, the maid Hongxiu was far clearer than the Lady Cui Long.

"But this..."

Cui Long's voice carried hesitation.

"We have no retreat now."

Hongxiu's voice became resolute, then suddenly took on a tender tone as she softly said, "You must live well, sister, even if faced with the worst outcome, you must live."

"As long as you're alive, everything is possible."

"And you are an Alchemist, you have worth."
