Outside the basement, the man known as the gang leader stood at his desk, looking at a copy of information copied on silk.

Someone came up from the basement and offered him a bracelet.

"Helper, it seems that Song Hong's apprentice really doesn't know where the Shenguang Stone is, there is only such a bracelet, there is a silver shell that can be opened and closed on it, it seems that it has been filled with something, maybe it has been loaded with Shenguang Stone."

"Show me."

"Yes."

The gang leader picked up the bracelet and looked at it, and said suspiciously, "...... There doesn't seem to be anything unusual about this thing? ”

"Yes, we've been looking at it for a long time, and we only know what kind of metal it is, but we don't know what the texture is."

"Possibly, so be it, the one from above, who is coming soon. When the time comes, I will pay tribute to it directly. ”

"Yes! What about Song Hong's apprentice? ”

"I didn't expect to ask her at first, just leave it there, feed some medicine, don't kill it, and let Song Hong exchange the Divine Light Stone for his apprentice when the time comes."

"Yes! Helper wise! ”

The subordinate thought to himself, even if he didn't intend to ask in the first place, the helper had trampled on the girl's foot...... is worthy of being a helper, with the ruthlessness that a person who really achieves great things should have.

"Wait, this thing, I know what it is."

An unfamiliar voice came from the doorway.

The helper's voice became respectful: "Your Excellency, you are here. Since the adults know about this thing, then ask the adults to take over. ”

As he spoke, he said coldly to his subordinates:

"Stand down!"

The subordinate lowered his head and hurriedly retreated.

He knew that this was a great man coming, and his status was higher than that of their gang leader.

"Wait a minute," the visitor stopped his subordinates and instructed, "Song Hong's apprentice, don't torture her anymore, be careful to kill her." Keep it, it's useful. ”

"Yes!" The subordinate hurriedly responded.

After a while, someone entered the basement, pinched the girl's cheek, took out a pill, and stuffed it into the girl's mouth.

She couldn't swallow anymore, so the man shoved the medicine into her throat with his rough fingers, took another glass of water, pinched her throat, and forced it in.

The water flowed to the trachea, and the girl choked.

The man patted her on the throat and made sure she had swallowed the medicine before putting down the glass and leaving.

Only the girl was left hanging her head, coughing from time to time.

There was no sound in the basement.

After a long time, the girl slowly raised her head, revealing an extremely haggard face.

Xiaoqiu.

She looked down at her abdomen.

The limbs were cold, only there was a slight heat.

The Divine Light Stone was not there, it was in her stomach.

Anyway, she kept this thing for the master.

Two months ago.

Master took away the treasure of the town palace over there, the Divine Light Stone, from the Haiyue Palace.

Xiaoqiu still remembers the amazing feeling she felt when she saw the Divine Light Stone for the first time.

It was an elongated, faceted, prismatic stone.

There are several facets, but they are not transparent like gemstones. It is opaque during the day, but it shines brightly at night.

Moreover, under its light, it will make some things that would not shine at night also have the ability to shine for a short time.

The soft and warm light and shadow, like the protection of the gods, make people feel extremely relieved when they see it.

Song Hong picked up the Divine Light Stone and a chain placed next to the Divine Light Stone.

At the end of the chain, there is a hard metal shell.

When it is closed, it is just enough to put the Divine Light Stone in, and the card slot fits and locks it tightly.

And by pressing a protrusion on the shell at the junction with the chain, it can be easily opened, revealing the Divine Light Stone.

Song Hong turned the Divine Light Stone over and over, but he really couldn't see any secrets, so he had to put it down.

He put the chain containing the Divine Light Stone on Xiaoqiu's arm, and then covered it up with his sleeves. At that time, the weather was already a little cold, and they were wearing a lot of clothes, and they couldn't see that they were wearing chains when their clothes were covered.

"Help me keep it, I sometimes fight with people and don't care about what I have, so it's safer for you to hold it." Song Hong said. He usually puts the sundries that are not heavy in a cloth bag for Xiaoqiu to carry.

Xiaoqiu hurriedly nodded.

"This thing is extremely important to me, you have to take care of it in the same way as you care for life, and you must not lose it." Song Hong asked solemnly.

Xiaoqiu also became serious.

Although this thing that Master gave her is a very important treasure, it is also like a bracelet.

It's like a gift.

She grew up in Solitude and never received any gifts, but she knew that children from rich families would have gifts for their birthdays. She is very envious, but her experience since she was a child makes her not speak out or fight.

Does Master know that her birthday is five days away?

I must know that.

Xiaoqiu looked forward to it in her heart.

That's why he gave her the Divine Light Stone, which was so beautiful and so important, and took so much effort to rob, and let her wear it on her hand.

Her heart glowed with a hint of happiness and sweetness.

Master is always very strict, but sometimes, he is still very kind to her.

Later, they traveled to several places.

The seizure of the Divine Light Stone will definitely attract the attention of many people, originally the Haiyue Palace has been concealing the existence of this thing, but once it is snatched, they will definitely make it public and let everyone snatch it.

But Song Hong still wanted to keep the stone. So I've been hiding with her in Tibet. The money was spent quickly, and they hadn't actually saved much before. Song Hong often gets drunk, and when he is in a bad mood, he even gambles and spends a lot of money.

Song Hong's decadence was temporary, and Xiaoqiu always took care of him considerately until he recovered from his depressed state, regained his strength, began to teach Xiaoqiu to practice martial arts, and also began to earn money.

Because he had no money, Song Hong had to venture to a border city like Kangu City and began to find acquaintances to earn money.

Although he was careful, the traces inevitably leaked out.

On the same day, Song Hong sent Xiaoqiu to the inn and let her stay, and then left. And Xiaoqiu never slept, she lay on the bed and waited for the master to come back.

Although Xiaoqiu's whole body was wrapped in the quilt, she was worried and couldn't sleep peacefully.

After she had waited for a long time, she heard a slight noise outside the window. Then, someone pulled the door open.

The door was locked, but the visitor quietly opened it, and no keys were heard.

Xiaoqiu immediately understood that he was a master.

Someone used internal force to break the locked latch on the side of the door and pushed the door open.

They must have come for the Divine Light Stone, Xiao Qiu guessed.

Master has been famous for so long, and she has been with Master for almost two years, but she has never encountered such danger, and after taking away the Divine Light Stone, dangers have come one after another. This time, the master is not around, but the enemy has a real master, and she is very dangerous.

So, Xiaoqiu quickly opened the metal shell on the bracelet in the quilt, picked up the Shenguang Stone the size of a white fruit inside, swallowed it without hesitation, and swallowed it hard.

Master has said that the Divine Light Stone is very important to him, and it must not be missed.

Her martial arts are not good enough to keep such an important treasure, but she will also use her own way to fulfill her master's entrustment.

At that moment, she didn't think about whether there would be any unpredictable consequences for swallowing this magical stone.

Later, she was knocked unconscious and taken away.

Then, she was woken up by someone splashing her with water and found herself in a dark basement.

In addition, he was handcuffed, whipped and interrogated.

Those people really came for the Divine Light Stone, Xiao Qiu thought happily, fortunately she had protected the stone in advance.

She would never hand over the Divine Light Stone.

Because that is what Master entrusted her to keep safe, and Master values it the most. She will definitely love her own life...... No, you must love it more than you love your own life.

Xiaoqiu, from beginning to end, never thought about handing over the stone in exchange for her own safety.
