Chapter 237 A Broken Pot Thrown Away: All Promises Broken

"Leave him here, you can go," Murong Junlan said in a commanding tone.

The octopus glared fiercely at Murong Junlan, as if to say, "Don't even think about it," before rolling Murong Dubai off in another direction.

With a flick of his wrist, Murong Junlan looped a thin rope around a tree trunk opposite, blocking the octopus's path. "It seems you're determined to go your own way today, aren't you?"

The octopus remained silent, trying every possible way to break free, but to no avail. The octopus glanced at Murong Junlan, then looked at the person beside him. Yan'er sensed a plea for help in the octopus's eyes, and her intuition was probably right. So Yan'er slowly approached the octopus, but Murong Junlan, worried that the octopus would hurt Yan'er, followed closely behind.

"Cave Master, is there anything you want to tell me?" Yan'er asked with concern.

The octopus was about to answer when Murong Dubai, trapped in its claws, moved impatiently. The octopus curled up even tighter, warily, because it wanted to take this person back to the Pavilion Master for treatment.

"Come on, don't be afraid, tell me." Yan'er pushed away Murong Junlan's hand, she didn't believe that the octopus would do anything to hurt her.

The octopus's lips twitched, but it ultimately remained silent. It didn't want to waste too much time here; it wanted to take Murong Dubai back with it.

"Speak! Why did you come to take back the Crimson Spirit Spring Water? Did the Pavilion Master order you to retrieve it? Since the Pavilion Master already gifted the Crimson Spirit Spring Water to us, why did he send you to take it back? Or do you think the Crimson Spirit Spring Water is a treasure that you should take back?" Yan'er, seeing that the octopus didn't react, quickly thought for a moment and continued,

“Now that the Crimson Spirit Spring water jar is broken, kidnapping Murong Dubai won’t do you much good. Do you have to make things so complicated?” Yan’er deduced everything she could think of. “I’m also wondering why the Pavilion Master didn’t come in person. The most likely reason is that he went back on his word, felt bad, and sent his men to intercept him. Do you think I’m right?”

Upon hearing this, the octopus's eyes immediately flashed with anger. It didn't want to say a word to these two people. It felt that the Pavilion Master had misjudged them this time, and that these two had made the Xuanmo Cave and Lihentian unrecognizable. The octopus would remember this grudge for the Pavilion Master.

Taking advantage of Murong Junlan's lowered guard, the octopus rolled away from the thin rope in front of Yan'er. The octopus didn't dare to be careless; it ran wildly, forgetting even the pain of the bloody welts on its body from the pricking.

The octopus had only one goal: to escape back to Xuanmo Cave and Lihentian as quickly as possible to save the Pavilion Master. However, when it rolled to a cliff and prepared to rush back by water, Murong Junlan and his beloved concubine Yan'er were standing on the cliff.

Why can't I shake off these two? Do they know how to fly?

"If you don't leave Murong Dubai behind, even if you jump off a cliff, I can pull you up with a thin rope. I'll give you one more chance. If you suffocate him, then my thin rope will go on a killing spree..."

Before Murong Junlan could finish speaking, the octopus kicked its tentacles with all its might. Ha, this was its last chance. If it didn't escape now, did it have to wait for Murong Junlan to entangle it with a thin rope before it could run away?

It was gambling on the speed of its jump and the speed of the thin rope in Murong Junlan's hand; whoever was faster would win. To ensure a safe landing, the octopus quickly wrapped its four tentacles around Murong Dubai, and with its other tentacles pushing off the ground, it performed a beautiful forward roll and leaped off the cliff.

It saw that the azure sea was its last resort, a resort that was enough to make it do everything in its power for the Pavilion Master.

Octopus suddenly felt as light as a feather. Yes, being able to retrieve the life-saving Crimson Spirit Spring Water for the Pavilion Master, that sense of mission that was solely his responsibility could generate boundless power to overcome all impossibilities.

The octopus was so excited its heart was about to jump out of its chest. The azure sea was right at its feet, surging and roaring. "Master, the octopus has brought you the Crimson Spirit Spring Water."
