âNanxing, Iâll go with you!â Ma Jiâs attitude was very firm.
âWhereâs Tong Yan?â I asked her. This was a crucial situation. I had to ensure that Tong Yan wasnât a threat.
âDonât worry. Sheâs now my vessel. She canât do anything.â Ma Ji said faintly.
A strange feeling arose in my heart, but there wasnât much time for me to think about it. I pointed at my car and told Ma Ji. âMy driving skills are a little bad. You might have to be mentally prepared.â
Ma Ji got into the car. I stepped on the accelerator, and the car shot out with a bang.
Ma Ji grabbed the handrail on the roof and turned to look at me in surprise.
I apologized, âIâm sorry. Iâm not that good of a driver.â
Ma Ji smiled. âYouâre more suitable to drive a rocket.â
I didnât smile. It was strange because Ma Ji was too relaxed. She even had time to crack jokes. Was it possible to use sorcery to defeat the enemy?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Soon, I arrived at the beach. Su Qian and Su Shen hadnât arrived yet. I could see the pirate ships down the distance. They lined up in a row and didnât advance or retreat.
I sighed. âHow can I be so unlucky? I just want to find a small island to live a peaceful life. How can disaster strike even when I want to retreat from the world?â
Ma Ji calmly said, âThis has something to do with your constitution.â
I shrugged. âYou mean I have the tendency to attract tragedies?â
Ma Ji softly sighed. âNanxing, you donât know much about your own background.â
Thatâs true.
I was just about to turn my head to look at Ma Ji when she coldly ordered, âNanxing, donât move.â
A gun barrel was pressed against my temple.
The blood in my body froze.
âMa Jiâ¦â My voice was trembling. No, my entire body was trembling.
Ma Ji chuckled. âNanxing, donât be angry. I know youâre not afraid, but youâre angry. Life is unpredictable. Shouldnât you learn that by now? Youâre still too young.â
From the corner of my eye, I saw a signal flare rise into the sky and explode.
âMa Ji, Su Qian and Su Shen are coming. You wonât get away with this!â I reminded her.
Ma Ji chuckled. âItâs fine. As long as I have you, they wonât dare to do anything.â Then, she raised her voice, âNanxing has been poisoned. No one can cure it except me. If you know whatâs good for you, come out and surrender!â
I closed my eyes in despair.
There were really enemies everywhere.
A moment later, Su Qian and Su Shen slowly walked over.
I shouted, âIâm not poisoned. Donât believe her. Kill her!â
Ma Ji said disdainfully, âDonât waste your energy. Do you think theyâll believe you or me?â
I was speechless. Su Qian and Su Shen obviously didnât dare to take the risk. They could only trust Maggie. The ships had started to move.
Ma Ji ordered Su Qian and Su Shen. âPut down your weapons! Donât even think about putting up any resistance. Iâve poisoned Nan Xing. Itâs useless even if you kill me. My life is now tied to Nanxing and Jing Tian. So you should listen to me obediently. I wonât make things difficult for you!â
Jing Tian?!
I turned my head to look at Maggie. The black barrel of the gun was pointed at the center of my eyebrows. âWhat did you do to Jing Tian?â I demanded angrily.
Ma Ji looked at me with pity in her eyes. âEven now, you still care about that man?â
I grabbed Ma Ji by her neck. âWhat did you do to Jing Tian?â
All the blood in my body started flowing. The sound of blood pumping could be heard in my eardrums.
My patience had reached its limit, and my fingers tightened.
Ma Jiâs face turned purple..
