Chapter 669: Chapter 669: Another Type of Transaction

"How is she here, could it be..." Gu Fan cautiously approached, getting a clearer look now. Indeed, it was Lisa’s pretty face, but her complexion was terrible, she seemed to be doing poorly.

But Gu Fan and Su Hui kept their distance, always wary. Who knew if this was Lisa’s trap, baiting the enemy to go deeper before employing her deadly strike.

"Hey beautiful, are you still alive?" Gu Fan picked up a small stone and threw it towards Lisa.

The stone gradually disappeared unveiling Lisa’s face. She weakly managed to utter these words, "Big brother big sister, can you guys give me a break. Can’t you see? I’m at the end of my rope."

After hearing this, Gu Fan and Su Hui came to understand, Lisa mustn’t have absorbed any living Qi recently, and thus was on the brink of becoming a real Wandering Sea Ghost. At this time, away from the seawater or the large wooden ship, Lisa’s condition was indeed dire.

Gu Fan put on a regretful expression: "I’m sorry, we’re late. I really regret it, I hope you do good in your next life."

Lisa is so weak that she cannot even roll her eyes at Gu Fan: "You’re not late at all. You just need to come closer, and let me absorb a bit of your Qi."

To this, Gu Fan claimed his Qi was also running low, there’s absolutely nothing he could do.

"Big Brother, we just happened to meet by chance. I’ve been good to you, kind of, during that time. Could you return the favor?" Lisa was in a terrible state and she could only turn to Gu Fan for help. "And we Wandering Sea Ghosts can’t absorb all of a person’s Qi at once. So, rest assured, I won’t harm you," she added.

"Is that so, I’ll consider it." Gu Fan had seen the Wandering Sea Ghosts absorb Qi before. They really do not drain the life out of an individual at once. But he really did not want to help Lisa, this woman was too dangerous.

Lisa then made a suggestion: "How about this, you let me absorb some of your Qi, and I’ll answer a question for you."

This deal actually sounded pretty good. Gu Fan could use any information he could get, but he was afraid that Lisa might absorb too much Qi at once. He wasn’t eager to say yes yet.

"You clearly don’t stand a chance, the only way you’re getting out of here alive is with my help," Lisa spoke, barely raising her voice, but her assessment of their situation seemed spot on.

Su Hui nudged Gu Fan on his side: "Just do a good deed, let her absorb a little bit. Would you look at her, she’s pitiful."

"She’s pitiful? What about me?" Gu Fan gave a bitter smile and shook his head, prepared to step forward.

At this point, Lisa finally opened her eyes, "Can you hurry up, time waits for no man. What kind of man dilly-dallies like you?"

"Excuse me, you should take a look at the situation. Who would dare to approach you casually?" Gu Fan carefully moved towards Lisa, his heart pounding, hoping that he made the right gamble this time.

Lisa made another remark, "Haven’t you noticed that I’m now fully in stone form? What are you afraid of?"

Hearing this, Gu Fan took a closer look. He remembered the last time Lisa was in her stone form, he actually took advantage of the situation! Gathering his courage, Gu Fan tilted his head towards Lisa’s pretty face, the two in direct confrontation, merely inches apart.

Gu Fan then asked, "We good now?"

Without replying, Lisa sighed deeply. Suddenly, Gu Fan felt a wave of dizziness and quickly retracted.

"Well done, that was good. Feel free to ask your questions." After absorbing a bit of Gu Fan’s Qi, Lisa clearly seemed a lot better.

Su Hui immediately fired off a question, "What’s with the strange lizards, did you summon them here?"

In reply, Lisa shook her head, "When we first landed on this island, these strange lizards were already here. And I can only control the sea serpents and the giant squids, these lizards don’t obey me. Otherwise, why would I accept these lizards causing havoc? I would definitely have caught a living person and kept them here."

After hearing this, both Gu Fan and Su Hui accepted this as the truth. Su Hui then gave Gu Fan a look, causing him to grimace. Reluctantly, he went towards Lisa again.

Lisa took a gentle breath again and then expressed her disgust. "How long has it been since you last bathed? You stink! I normally wouldn’t suck the Qi from anyone as disgusting as you, but I got no choice."

Su Hui then asked a second question, "How did you end up here? Shouldn’t you be in the sea or on that large wooden ship?"

"We have been really unlucky lately, and crossed paths with a powerful woman. Several of my subordinates were wiped out, and I was severely injured, forcing me to escape to this island for recovery. Being in stone form is a way for me to recover. When I realized that people were landing on the island, I stayed in stone form on the island, preparing to absorb the Qi of those who landed. But, I didn’t expect it to be you guys. Up to now, I haven’t been able to absorb any Qi. My internal Qi is running out as well." While saying this, Lisa put on an aggrieved expression, "It’s just my bad luck to run into you guys. How unfortunate."

Gu Fan laughed, "Okay, okay, stop misusing our idioms. Where are your companions? Why aren’t they helping you out? And now that the island has sunk, can’t you move freely beneath the sea?"

Without answering his question, Lisa just moved her neck a little, the meaning was clear enough.

Sighing, Gu Fan had no choice but to move forward again.

Lisa absorbed another breath of Qi from Gu Fan, she was clearly feeling better, and answered Gu Fan’s question, "I was weak at that time, and my internal Qi wasn’t sufficient. By the time I returned to the sea, I realized that my subordinates had completely changed. They no longer feared me, and even took advantage of my weakness to throw me onto the island. They’re probably waiting for me to completely exhaust my Qi and perish, then they would be able to replace me."

"My god, how did you treat your subordinates ordinarily? They’re seeking revenge this way," Gu Fan barely finished his words before Lisa got upset, "Gu Fan, if you continue to insult me, I will not answer any of your questions."

"Alright, alright, I was wrong." Gu Fan approached Lisa’s pretty face again and let her absorb another breath of his Qi, smiling all the way.

This time, Gu Fan felt even more dizzy, he took a deep breath and said "Sister Su, please ask something really pertinent. Don’t ask unnecessary questions, I’m afraid I won’t be able to take it."

Su Hui gestured that she understood and then asked, "Lisa, what’s your plan to help us survive and leave this place?"

"That’s simple, once you guys give me enough Qi to reclaim power, I’ll protect you as we leave. Though those strange lizards are quite fearsome, we Wandering Sea Ghosts are invincible underwater." After finishing her words, Lisa opened her beautiful eyes, and then blinked at Gu Fan, gesturing for him to come closer.

"Nice proposition, I’ll consider it." Gu Fan isn’t a fool, once Lisa has enough power to move freely, would she still allow Gu Fan to leave?
