Chapter 1872 - 1867: Giving You One More Chance

Treasure-hunting Rabbit felt a bit frustrated seeing them defeated so easily...

It could still hold on, but there was no point because it was just fast, with really minimal attack power.

"Darn it! Seems like I’ll need to work on increasing my strength in the future!"

Muttering this, it heard footsteps and turned its head to see Yao Ling and Cao Lingbing approaching.

It knew they must have heard the commotion from the fight.

Realizing these people were here for them, Treasure-hunting Rabbit quickly warned, "You guys better leave quickly and find the master, or it will be a big problem if you are caught."

The two, not knowing what was happening, heard this stern warning and prepared to leave, but it was already too late...

Because they found a few more people in front of them...

Looking closely, they realized they were surrounded...

"These guys definitely don’t come with good intentions!"

Seeing themselves surrounded, they knew these people were likely after them...

...

"Since you’re already here, why leave in such a hurry!"

"Exactly!"

After encircling them, they exchanged glances and chatted softly.

At this moment, they seemed very relaxed...

Earlier, they were worried that Yao Ling might hear the commotion and escape quietly elsewhere.

Now, they knew they didn’t have to worry anymore because she was surrounded.

"Darn it!"

Seeing them surrounded, Treasure-hunting Rabbit sighed silently.

Treasure-hunting Rabbit knew that things had just gotten more complicated.

"I hope the master comes back soon, or things will get even tougher."

Thinking this, it looked toward the distant darkness.

It hoped Xiaobei would return soon.

But unfortunately, it couldn’t sense Xiaobei’s presence, knowing Xiaobei was probably far away.

...

"Who are you guys?"

After shielding Cao Lingbing behind her, Yao Ling, with a cold expression, asked indifferently.

Yao Ling sensed an intense murderous intent from them.

Yao Ling knew these people surrounding her and Cao Lingbing were obviously not here to chat.

The bald-headed leader glanced at Cao Lingbing, who was ice-cold, and chuckled, "No need to be so cold. We’re just here to have a little chat!"

At this moment, the person seemed very relaxed, but in reality, he was very nervous.

Because he knew Yao Ling was quite powerful...

So if he didn’t take it seriously, there could be heavy consequences...

"Chat? You guys are just here to chat with me? Do you think I’m an idiot?"

Yao Ling glanced at him, directly mocking...

Faced with a stubborn response, the bald-headed leader’s expression turned cold, "Since you don’t want to chat, fine! Let’s get to business. From now on, this place belongs to us, your days of occupying here are over!"

Glancing at them as they issued the ultimatum, Yao Ling’s expression grew colder, "Belongs to you? What do you mean? Does this place have anything to do with you? This is the Cao Family’s turf!"

"It used to be Cao Family’s turf, now it thoroughly belongs to us! We’re just giving you a heads up. Remember, don’t court death, or you’ll die miserably!"

After speaking, their gazes all shifted to Cao Lingbing.

They felt Cao Lingbing looked familiar!

"Is it just my imagination, or do you guys also find her familiar?"

After checking a few times seriously, the person in front spoke hoarsely.

Hearing this hoarse inquiry, the others seriously took a few more looks.

The first time they saw Cao Lingbing, she indeed seemed very familiar.

But they didn’t know where this familiarity came from.

Because they were sure this was their first time seeing her.

"We also find her familiar!"

"Then it’s not just my imagination!"

Saying this, the bald-headed man suddenly remembered where he had seen her.

The others had been observing the bald-headed man out of the corners of their eyes, so they all looked over when his expression changed.

"Did you recognize her?"

Glancing at their surprised faces, the bald-headed man chuckled, "Yes! I recognized her, we all met before! She’s the precious gem of the Cao Family."

"You must be joking! Wasn’t she supposed to be dead from poisoning long ago?"

"Exactly!"

Feeling the shock and disbelief, the bald-headed man looked deeply at Yao Ling, "I also thought that before, but now it seems she didn’t die. I don’t know the reason, but it’s probably related to this Yao Ling, maybe it’s using its spiritual energy to sustain her life."

"You may have a point!"

Nodding slightly, they all quickly turned their heads toward Yao Ling.

They all had sharp eyes, so they noticed Yao Ling looked quite pale...

Clearly, it was due to some kind of attrition...

So the bald-headed man’s guess was likely true.

...

"Previously, our two families almost established a marriage pact, now, since you’re evidently not dead, we should proceed with the engagement!"

While they were still examining, the bald-headed man quickly spoke with a face full of greed!

Hearing the bald-headed man’s greedy words, the others frowned, "Are you joking? Wasn’t your son already dead?"

"Exactly!"

Glancing at them, the bald-headed man’s expression turned extremely cold, "My son is dead, but I’m not. Can’t I remarry?"

Hearing such fierce words, their eyelids twitched...

They didn’t dare fall out over this, so they all lowered their heads.

Seeing them lower their heads, he smiled contentedly. After laughing, he turned to Cao Lingbing and asked, "What do you think of my proposal just now?"

He was full of confidence...

He thought Cao Lingbing would surely agree...

After all, she only had this path left to tread.

Cao Lingbing glanced at him and said calmly, "I refuse. I prefer someone young."

"Have you really thought it through?"

After being rejected, the bald-headed man’s tone turned icy cold.

"Yes, I have thought it through. I’m not interested in you. If you have no other business, please leave our Cao Family!"

"Leave? I’m not leaving until I achieve my objective!"

With a cold laugh, the bald-headed man looked at Cao Lingbing again, "I’m giving you one last chance! Think carefully before answering me. I know you think Yao Ling and the others can protect you, but to me, they are nothing. So, you better think twice before telling me your decision. Because this is your last chance..."
