"The Supreme Emperor, I offer this secret in exchange for my life!" the Phantom Beast cried out desperately, as if clutching at a lifeline.
A glimmer of hope shone in its terrified eyes. The Supreme Emperor's word was as good as gold; once given, he would never go back on it and kill it.
But Xu Lai said without even raising his head, "I'm not interested."
What a joke. What secret could possibly be more important than eating? Even if the sky were to fall, someone tall would be there to hold it up. Wait... I think I'm the tallest one here.
"There is a Quasi-Emperor's Tomb on Earth!" the Phantom Beast yelled with all its might. "I know its exact location! I will personally take you there if the Supreme Emperor spares me!"
Xu Lai inhaled sharply. "Are you sure it's a Quasi-Emperor?" he asked, shocked.
"Mhm, mhm, mhm." The Phantom Beast nodded vigorously, tears of joy streaming down its face. Am I going to be saved?
