Chapter 222 Working Together

Tang Xia witnessed the change in Li Xianxian’s expression and it confirmed her guess.

Tang Xia looked at Li Xianxian before glancing at Chu Tianjiao, who was standing beside her. She was hesitant as she said, “You… you did it, didn’t you?”

Based on Li Xianxian’s look, the answer was already clear.

Listening to Tang Xia’s voice, Li Xianxian’s face fluctuated between red and white. Her eyes kept on flickering and she seemed a little annoyed. But she covered it all up in an instant.

She gritted her teeth so hard that it felt like they were going to break. She pointed at Tang Xia furiously and said, “Tang Xia, don’t you dare accuse someone like that!”

Li Xianxian’s tone was aggravated and she was emotional and filled with fury. She looked as if she had really been accused by Tang Xia.

Unfortunately, Li Xianxian’s unnatural gaze and messy shirt were not convincing at all. On the contrary, it exposed her guilty conscience.

Seeing this scene, the comments in the livestream were leaning toward Tang Xia. They started to ridicule Li Xianxian.

“Did I hear that right? She’s still trying to argue her way out at this point in time?”

“She really thinks the fans in the livestream are blind.”

“Trying to hide your dirty secrets will only make them more conspicuous.”

“This time around, Li Xianxian cannot batter her way out.”

“Even if she wants to lie, she should first tidy her clothes.”

“…”

Tang Xia shook her head silently and stopped arguing with Li Xianxian. At this point in time, she did not have to say anything else.

The audience were not fools. Those with a pair of working eyes could tell if she had some ambiguous relationship with Chu Tianjiao. Right now, the more she tried to deny and explain, it would only tarnish whatever good impression of her that the audience had left.

No matter who would win or lose at the end of this broadcast, Li Xianxian’s reputation had been completely tarnished.

Li Xianxian pointed at Tang Xia and scolded her. Seeing that Tang Xia was not responding, she found it boring. She then realized that her clothes were messy and her image was indeed inappropriate. Her face turned pale and she ran away flustered.

Chu Tiankuo lifted Chu Tianjiao up with one hand and pressed him against the wall. His cold face was filled with the color of anger. “What else have you done in the Garden of Eden? Be honest with me!”

Chu Tianjiao’s brows twisted in pain, following which, the eyes that stared at Chu Tiankuo become harsher.

“I have always been a toy since young, I also want to try turning others into toys!” A tint of lunacy flashed across his eyes. He became fierce all of a sudden and pushed Chu Tiankuo away.

Chu Tiankuo was unprepared and stumbled a few steps back. The eyes that were looking at Chu Tianjiao were filled with shock.

He had never thought that Chu Tianjiao’s thoughts would be so twisted.

Meanwhile, Tang Xia also frowned slightly. She was speechless upon hearing Chu Tianjiao’s logic. Just then, Chu Tianjiao suddenly dashed toward her and gave her a tight slap.

Chu Tianjiao’s action was very sudden. Even Chu Tiankuo did not manage to react immediately. When he heard the crisp slap, a few bright red fingerprints were already imprinted onto Tang Xia’s face.

“What are you doing?” Tang Xia held her face in her hands and her eyes staring at Chu Tianjiao were filled with disbelief.

Chu Tianjiao was stiff. He ordered her in the same overbearing tone, “Don’t you comment on my actions!” As he spoke, his face became gloomier and more terrifying.

“When did I ever do that?” Tang Xia was just about to rebut when Chu Tianjiao lifted his head and added arrogantly, “Not even in your heart!”

Tang Xia was left completely speechless. Chu Tianjiao was now like a sick pervert with twisted thoughts. One’s glance and emotion could make him go crazy.

“You’ve already become crazy,” Tang Xia threw at him coldly. She did not want to talk to him anymore.

Hearing her voice, Chu Tianjiao’s face fell. She wanted to dash over to punish her, but at this moment, Chu Tiankuo kept a stern face as he shielded her.

Chu Tiankuo did not imagine that Chu Tianjiao would dare to be so arrogant after meeting him. Did he stay too long in the Garden of Eden and lose control?

Chu Tiankuo’s face fell. “Are you trying to rebel?”

Hearing his voice, Chu Tianjiao paused for a while, after which a look of indifference formed on his face. “Who are you to lecture me?”

As he spoke, the two brothers quickly got entangled in a fight. Chu Tiankuo was already completely triggered by Chu Tianjiao. Chu Tianjiao’s face was also filled with fury, and it was difficult to separate them.

While Chu Tianjiao was being occupied by Chu Tiankuo, Tang Xia took advantage of the fact that he would not take notice of her and crept into hell. When Chu Tianjiao appeared earlier, Haidala had returned to her room.

The few girls in hell were all gathered together. They were apparently at a loss after hearing the two men fighting.

“Haidala, have you thought about it? If you want to leave this place, now is the best time!” Tang Xia found Haidala and said directly.

Chu Tianjiao and Chu Tiankuo were now busy fighting each other. If the girls in hell all worked together to escape, there was a huge possibility that they could actually make it out.

Tang Xia held onto Haidala’s hand and her eyes were filled with glowing hope. Right now, the freedom that they had dreamt of was right in front of their eyes. As long as they decided to be courageous enough, they could definitely make it out.

Hearing Tang Xia’s voice, Haidala immediately understood what she meant. Her gaze faltered, and just as she was about to respond, Sun Jin, who was standing beside them, became very dissatisfied when she saw Tang Xia.

She pulled Haidala to her side and then turned her head toward Tang Xia. She suppressed her anger as she asked, “You again. What are you trying to do now?”

Before waiting for Tang Xia’s response, Sun Jin said to the other girls in hell, “Everyone, don’t forget what we learned from Elsa’s incident. This Tang Xia was the one who caused it.”

As Sun Jin spoke, the eyes glaring at Tang Xia were filled with increasing hostility. When the other girls in hell heard her voice, they started to stand further away from Tang Xia, as if they would get involved just by standing beside her.

Tang Xia did not take notice of her. She kept on looking at Haidala. But in such a situation, Haidala’s gaze became hesitant.

Seeing this, Tang Xia was both disappointed and anxious. “Do you guys actually want to stay here for the rest of your lives?” At this point in time, the sound of the fight outside was gradually stopping. Apparently, Chu Tiankuo and Chu Tianjiao had stopped their fight.

If they missed this opportunity, they might never have the chance to escape from here ever again.

Hearing Tang Xia’s rhetorical question, some of the girls seemed hesitant. They were obviously slightly swayed by her. However, most of them still kept a straight face and no one stood out at all.

“Haidala, have you given up as well?” Tang Xia could only turn her focus back to Haidala. Right now, every second was important. There was not enough time for them to continue hesitating.

Haidala looked at Tang Xia and then at Sun Jin. Ultimately, her yearning for freedom won over her fear of Chu Tianjiao. Haidala broke free of Sun Jin’s hand and walked out. She stood beside Tang Xia.

Sun Jin even tried to pull her back, but Haidala was ready to leave.

“Haidala, have you forgotten how Elsa was motivated by her and then killed by Chu Tianjiao in front of everyone?” Sun Jin looked at Haidala in utter disbelief. She still could not believe that she had chosen to stand on Tang Xia’s side.

“I have not forgotten about it,” Haidala said softly but her eyes were giving off a color of determination. She looked at all the girls in the room with her determined gaze. She seemed to have the power to shake one’s heart.

Following which, Haidala’s slightly hoarse voice rang in everyone’s heart. “And it is because I didn’t forget that I choose to follow Tang Xia and seize this opportunity.

“You guys are the ones who have forgotten.”

As the girls all looked at each other, their gazes were filled with confusion. They did not know what she meant by that.

Haidala’s expression became solemn. She continued, “Did you guys really think that Tang Xia was the one who killed Elsa?”

Before Haidala asked this question, there were indeed a number of people who thought so. But after she asked them, they were silent. No one spoke for a while.

Sun Jin was the only one who was still furious. She glared at Tang Xia, treating her as her enemy. She cried out angrily, “Haidala, what are you talking about? Who else could it be?”

“No, you’re wrong. The one who killed her was Chu Tianjiao.”

Haidala’s expression was calm. Having been in the Garden of Eden for so long, she felt most awake at this moment. When she said his name, there was no trace of extra emotion on her face.

Hearing her voice, not only Sun Jin, but the expressions of all the girls also froze and they fell into silence.

“Elsa died because she was seeking freedom. From what I think, she is much better than us, who are still suffering. Because at least she once fought bravely. As for you guys, you don’t even have the courage to resist. Instead, you only know how to blame the one who is brave enough to fight back.”

After she finished, she did not take another look at the girls. She turned toward Tang Xia with a determined gaze. “I believe you, let’s get out of here!”

Tang Xia nodded intensely and her eyes sparkled. She was both touched and overjoyed. The words that Haidala just said were exactly the thoughts in her heart.

“Ok, let’s get out of here together!” Tang Xia said firmly. She then looked at the rest of them with a subtle gaze.

“If you guys are still willing to stay here, then so be it. But I hope that when you think back on this day, you won’t regret it. Because you guys did not even try and just blatantly gave up on the chance to gain freedom.”

After which, Tang Xia and Haidala did not stay any longer and walked toward the door immediately.

“Wait, we’re coming with you!” A girl from hell plucked up the courage and followed behind Tang Xia, after which more girls joined them.

“You’re right. Rather than suffering like this, we might as well fight for it for once!” a girl from hell said. There was no longer any hesitation in her eyes. Instead, they were filled with the yearning for freedom.

Tang Xia looked at them and nodded. Her eyes were smiling with contentment. At last, her efforts were not in vain. These girls had yet to completely lose the courage to pursue freedom.

After a moment of hesitation, even Sun Jin stood behind Tang Xia.
