A sense of panic gripped Lan Qi. He knew Su Yu had formed a contract with him, but he couldn't guarantee that the South Beast City Lord wouldn't control him again and make him do something to harm Su Yu.
After much thought, he concluded that the only way to make Su Yu safer was to kill him.
"Thinking of dying? It's not that easy." Xun Yu mused, narrowing his eyes at Lan Qi. "Have you no desire to take power?"
An idea sparked in Lan Qi's mind, and his eyes flickered. "What... what do you mean?"
Su Yu, however, understood what Xun Yu meant. She blinked and looked at Lan Qi, asking him frankly, "To put it bluntly, do you want to be the South Beast City Lord?"
'If Lan Qi becomes the South Beast City Lord, my safety in Southern Beast City will be guaranteed.'
'And when I sell my pottery, I won't have to worry about the South Beast City Lord trying to sabotage me behind my back.'
Lan Qi froze, looking at Su Yu with hesitation. "Me... can I really do that?"
