Chapter 234 gives you 1 choice.
Luo Tingyu suddenly raised his eyes, and his sharp eyes shot straight at Gu Xulin. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised with a barely perceptible cunning.
The man raised his hand, signaling his men who were about to carry Mu Yun and six others away to deal with them to stop their actions.
"So, the people behind He Ci and Shou Sui are also from the Phantom God Clan?" Luo Tingyu asked as if it was true.
"Yes." Gu Xulin responded softly. His voice became very hoarse due to not having enough water for a long time.
"Who are they? What are their names?" The man raised his eyebrows.
Gu Xulin rolled his Adam's apple and swallowed a mouthful of saliva to relieve his dry and sore throat. "The main god of the system who is keeping watch on the New Year is called Xuan Sang, and the one who is giving the congratulatory speech is called Tian Qing."
Luo Tingyu pondered and asked, "What kind of relationship is there between you and the Phantom God Clan?"
"I need water." Gu Xulin raised his head slightly and said concisely.
Luo Tingyu looked at him and saw that his lips had become extremely pale and dry due to excessive blood loss, and had even begun to peel and crack. This was indeed a requirement for water. After seeing this, the man waved to his men behind him and asked one of them to go out and get some water to feed Gu Xulin.
Gu Xulin took several sips of the water cup that the male subordinate brought to his lips without hesitation. Only when the water in the cup was empty did Gu Xulin feel that the dryness in his throat was relieved a lot.
"Go on." Luo Tingyu urged impatiently.
Gu Xulin glanced at the man, raised his chin and gestured to Xiang Aonan, Mu Yun and the other six people, "They also need some water and food."
Luo Tingyu frowned and impatiently asked his subordinates to fetch more water for the six people to drink.
"Can we continue this time?" Luo Tingyu narrowed his eyes, his tone already somewhat cold.
Gu Xulin also stopped when he saw the opportunity and continued, "The Phantom God Clan is a god from the Phantom God Planet. Since their real bodies cannot go to the Blue Planet, they only exist here as their consciousness. I, Shou Sui, and He Ci are just the chosen hosts. The Phantom God Clan parasitizes in our bodies and signs a contract with us to establish a cooperative relationship between the host and the system."
"Cooperative relationship?" Luo Tingyu was surprised. He asked while thinking, "What are the details?"
Not only the man was curious, but Amber and Xiang Aonan and others beside him also pricked up their ears.
Gu Xulin glanced at them sideways and made another request, "I need food."
The words he had been looking forward to suddenly fell through, and Luo Tingyu's face was inevitably a little unhappy. However, considering that the other party was relatively cooperative, such a small request was not impossible to meet.
Then, Luo Tingyu ordered his men to hurry down and bring food.
"Don't forget that there are seven of us, so it's not one portion of food, but seven portions." Gu Xulin interrupted and reminded Luo Tingyu when he was giving orders to his men.
Luo Tingyu agreed and waved his men away, "Do it, quickly."
After listening to Gu Xulin's supplement, Mu Yunren and others felt very uncomfortable. Even in this situation, Major Gu still cared about them, which really moved Xiang Aoqing and others and made them feel even worse.
Soon, Luo Tingyu's men brought back several meals from the cafeteria.
When faced with the food that was fed to his mouth, Gu Xulin not only did not open his mouth but also turned his head away and said coldly, "I don't eat food given out of pity."
"???" Luo Tingyu glanced at him, frowned, and said in a cold tone, "Are you kidding me?"
"Throw it away if you don't want to eat it!" the man ordered his subordinates.
"Hey," Gu Xulin quickly stopped me and added, "I mean I don't eat what others feed me, but I want to eat at the table!"
"Don't push your luck!" Luo Tingyu's face immediately darkened as if covered by a dark cloud.
"What do you mean by asking for an inch? You can't say that. I've been so cooperative. If you are so stingy that you can't even meet such a small request as sitting at the table to eat, then there is no need for us to continue talking. You might as well starve me to death." Facing the man's angry expression, Gu Xulin was not afraid and said indifferently.
The other party repeatedly touched his limit of tolerance, causing Luo Tingyu's hands hanging at his sides to clench into fists, and a series of crisp crackling sounds came from the joints due to excessive force.
After a moment, Luo Tingyu decided to endure it a little longer, and then asked his men to bring a long table and some stools, and then untied Gu Xulin who was on the cross.
When the iron chain that was thicker than steel bars and tightly tied around his body was removed, Gu Xulin suddenly felt a lot lighter. He clenched his fists and then unclenched them, twisting his wrists that were bound purple to stretch his muscles.
Gu Xulin turned his eyes and scanned them. Luo Tingyu glanced at him warily. Amber beside him also quietly took two steps forward and stood in front of the man, staring at him with a vigilant attitude. Gu Xulin laughed out loud, "Why are you so nervous? With so many of you watching me, can I grow wings and run away?"
After saying that, Gu Xulin walked straight to the table where his meal was placed, pulled up a chair and sat down, then started eating as if no one was around.
He can't grow wings, and he's not staying up all night, but he needs to be full to have the strength to resist, right?
Luo Tingyu walked to the table opposite Gu Xulin, pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Senior Brother..." Seeing Luo Tingyu approaching the untied Gu Xulin so unguardedly, Amber couldn't help but call out softly in an attempt to dissuade the man.
After all, Gu Xulin is an opponent that can only be defeated by two eighth-level mutants working together. Even though he is still injured now, he should not be underestimated.
Luo Tingyu glanced at the woman, waved his hand as if he didn't take Gu Xulin seriously, and interrupted Amber's words.
Luo Tingyu looked at Gu Xulin opposite him, his tone still cold, "Can we say it's a cooperative relationship now?"
"Of course," Gu Xulin replied vaguely while eating, "The system gives us power, resources, weapons, etc., and we do things for them and complete the various tasks given by the system."
"Mission?" Luo Tingyu looked very interested. "What kind of mission? For example?"
"Like, killing you."
"Kill me? Haha..." Luo Tingyu seemed to have heard a joke and laughed instead of getting angry.
"What if the mission is not completed?" the man asked with interest.
"Die." Gu Xulin replied without even raising his head.
Although there are different degrees of punishment for failing to complete the task, it will not lead to death directly. Obviously, Gu Xulin was exaggerating a bit.
"What qualifications do you need to be selected as a host?"
Gu Xulin, who was concentrating on eating, suddenly raised his eyes and stared at the man meaningfully. After a while, he replied, "I don't know."
He really didn't know this. Xi Yan had never told him about it, and he had never thought of asking this.
Luo Tingyu narrowed her eyes and looked at Gu Xulin, as if doubting the truthfulness of his words.
"How about I give you a choice?" After a long silence, Luo Tingyu suddenly spoke.
Gu Xulin glanced at him in confusion, "What choice?"
Luo Tingyu leaned back in his chair and smiled leisurely, "Hand over Xi Yan to me, and I will let all of you go."
