Chapter 962: Scroll or life?
"This is the latest scroll I developed. Once it is activated, it will emit bright light to blind the eyes of the evil beasts in the abyss." Yan Li explained.
"Such a good thing..." Qi Yuan held the scroll tightly and refused to let go.
"Are you willing to go out and give it a try?" Maureen looked at her.
"I...I don't want to." Qi Yuan shook his head repeatedly upon hearing that.
"If you don't want to go out, return the scroll." Yan Li stretched out her hand to her.
"It's just a scroll. You must have more. This... give this to me to keep with me." Qi Yuan held the scroll tightly.
"Come back and don't force me to kick you out." Yan Li looked at her coldly.
"I don't want it." Qi Yuan held the scroll in his arms even tighter.
"What's wrong?" The head of the Qi family looked over here when he heard the noise.
"Dad, she's trying to steal my scroll." Qi Yuan pointed at Yan Li and said immediately after hearing that.
"Scroll? When did you get such an advanced thing?" The head of the Qi family was full of confusion.
After all, scrolls are rare, and even the Qi family only has a few of them in their collection.
"The scroll originally belonged to Li'er, but she stole it away from him." Maureen said directly.
"You're talking nonsense. She clearly put it in my arms herself." Qi Yuan quickly argued.
"That was because you said you were going to go out and use the scroll to blind the eyes of those evil beasts in the abyss, so Li'er gave you the scroll." Maureen retorted coldly.
"I didn't say I wanted to go out. She asked me to go out. I'm not stupid." Qi Yuan replied.
At this time everyone finally understood that it was Qi Yuan who held the scroll but refused to do anything and even wanted to take the scroll for himself.
This is really shameless!
"Yuan'er, since it's someone else's stuff, just return it to them." The head of the Qi family said coldly.
"Dad..." Qi Yuan was obviously unwilling.
"Do you really want to rush out and urge the scroll?" The head of the Qi family really wanted to slap him.
"I don't want to go out, and I don't want to give the scroll to her." Qi Yuan held the scroll tightly in his arms.
Yan Li kicked her out upon seeing this.
"My things are not so easy to covet." Yan Li said, patting her feet.
"How could you be so vicious to kick Yuan'er out like that?" The head of the Qi family became anxious upon seeing this.
"Do you want to go out and keep her company too?" Yan Li's cold gaze fell on the head of the Qi family.
"I will talk to her slowly about your scroll and she will return it to you. Why are you doing this?" The head of the Qi family looked outside anxiously.
"Time waits for no one. Do you think it is more important for us to watch your daughter act willful or to live our own lives?" Yan Li asked in a cold voice.
Upon hearing this, everyone became angry about Qi Yuan's behavior.
After all, no one would be willing to risk their lives to watch her act capriciously.
"Yes, Master Qi, you should know that every second counts for us now. You don't want everyone to be buried with you, right?" Master Long's tone was a little irritable.
"Master Qi, your daughter is willful and doesn't care about the occasion. She is so willful and takes the lives of so many people. Who else but you would indulge her?" Master Chu spoke.
"How can she be willful? She is clearly greedy. Miss Yan is willing to take out the scroll to save everyone, but she wants to take the scroll for herself for her own selfish reasons." The head of the Wen family also spoke.
……
Others also spoke out to accuse Qi Yuan of being selfish, greedy, and cold-blooded.
The head of the Qi family's face turned blue and red after being scolded by these people, and he didn't know how to refute.
After Qi Yuan was kicked out by Yan Li, the evil beasts from the abyss sensed her breath and surrounded her.
Qi Yuan screamed and got up. She turned around and wanted to run back to the confinement room.
When she turned around, she found herself in an empty space, and there was no confinement room.
Only then did she realize that the confinement room could not be seen from the outside.
"Dad, save me, save me." Seeing those evil beasts from the abyss rushing towards him, Qi Yuan shouted in horror.
The head of the Qi family in the confinement room was extremely anxious when he saw this scene.
"Activate the scroll! Why don't you activate the scroll?" The head of the Qi family shouted anxiously.
Qi Yuan outside couldn't hear the voice of the head of the Qi family at all.
She held the scroll tightly in her arms and tried to escape.
"Even at this time, she still chooses the scroll over her life." Maureen couldn't help but complain when she saw this.
"For some people, treasures are more important than anything else." Mo Qi said.
Others were speechless about Qi Yuan's behavior.
"Miss Yan, do you have any more scrolls? I am willing to go out and activate the scrolls to blind the eyes of those evil beasts in the abyss." The head of the Qi family looked at Yan Li.
"There is no more, only the one on your daughter's body. You still have time if you go out and snatch the scroll from her arms." Yan Li said.
The head of the Qi family was troubled when he saw Qi Yuan outside holding the scroll and desperately avoiding the attack of the evil beast from the abyss.
He just wanted to save Qi Yuan.
But seeing how protective she was of the scroll, if I tried to snatch it from her arms, she might treat me like a beast from the abyss.
By then, not only will you fail to save your own people, but you will also have to sacrifice yourself.
Yan Li gave the Qi family head a mocking look.
It seems that he also knew what kind of person his daughter was, which was why he didn't rush out immediately.
"Help, help, Dad, save me..." Qi Yuan held the scroll and shouted for help.
Everyone:...
If you want to save your life, activate the scroll quickly.
"I can't stand it anymore. I can't stand that idiot. You know, that scroll is a ray of hope for us." After saying this, the head of the Long family rushed out.
He went straight to Qi Yuan, quickly dodged the scroll in her arms, and quickly activated it.
The actions of the head of the Long family shocked everyone!
Yan Li admired the courage of the head of the Long family very much.
"Scroll, my scroll, why did you use my scroll?" Qi Yuan roared as he looked at the scroll in the hand of the head of the Long family emitting brilliant light.
"Your scroll? Do you have any shame? This is Miss Yan's scroll, how can it be yours?" Patriarch Long looked at her with contempt.
"Mine, that's mine, you have to compensate me for the scroll." After saying that, Qi Yuan rushed towards the head of the Long family like a madman, but was kicked away by him.
Roar……
The evil beasts in the abyss all around let out heart-wrenching roars.
Under the illumination of the light emitted from the scroll, their eyeballs were pierced!
Strangely, these lights had no effect on Patriarch Long and Qi Yuan.
After the evil beasts in the abyss became blind, Qi Yuan and the head of the Long family were much safer.
"Success." Patriarch Long looked around and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, half a day had passed and the scroll blocking the cave entrance had become ineffective.
Yan Li and others walked out of the passage entrance.
"Scroll, my scroll is gone, gone." Qi Yuan muttered to himself as he got up from the ground.
Snapped!
The head of the Qi family slapped her directly in the face.
"Don't you see where you are? Don't you see the situation? Is the scroll more important than your life?" The head of the Qi family roared angrily.
Qi Yuan covered her face and stood up from the ground. She suddenly calmed down, her eyes full of malice.
