Chapter 37 - The Ultimate Deal

A soul bond connected two or more people by creating a divine bond between them. The sense of commitment that it created was way too powerful for anyone to resist.

Since Jiang Ying Yue was someone who had learned about every single aspect of the soulbond, she knew how to handle herself against bonds that were formed against her approval or knowledge.

Also, living for hundreds of years and the distance that she had to always keep with Silver all this time, had given her enough time to practice controlling her emotions when it came to soulbonds or soulmates.

But... the same could not be said about the two Immortals. Though it was clear that neither of them was happy or eager about the bonds that had bound them with her, it was also true that the sense of commitment that the bonds had created in their souls would not allow them to think about destroying the bonds.

That's why Silver just reminded her to stop repeating those hurtful words about 'breaking the bonds' in front of them.

The more she talked about it, the angrier they would get and there was always the risk of hurting their souls by talking about this topic.

Realizing her mistake, Jiang Ying Yue immediately closed her mouth and no longer talked about breaking their bonds.

When the two men realized that the girl was no longer seemed to be interested in talking, they finally started calming down. 

It took nearly half an hour for Silver to find them. When he entered the underground dungeons which appeared more like the base of an underworld boss, the first person he noticed was Ying Yue who was sitting with her head placed on her knees. 

The atmosphere was too silent for him to take in. When he noticed the two men who were sitting a little farther away from Yue, the calmness on their faces was nothing similar to the raze that was brewing in them just half an hour ago.

Letting out a deep sigh, he moved to sit next to Ying Yue but before he could do that, two piercing gazes landed on him like he was about to commit a crime and they were warning him to not do it.

He wanted to let those two men see that he did not give a damn about their warning but seeing that they had an important matter to take care of, he decided to stay calm at the moment.

When he returned his attention to the girl, he found her black doe-like eyes staring at him with a questioning look. 

"What is it?" He asked her while sitting down on one of the tables that were placed slightly away from where Ying Yue was sitting at the moment.

"What are we going to do now?" She asked while looking at him like he was some sort of problem-solving gadget that could solve all her problems.

He again sighed before nodding towards the two men as he spoke, "When I came here, I heard them talking about some sort of deal that they were going to negotiate with you. Let's ask them about this so-called dream. Maybe it will give you the best way out of this situation."

Jiang Ying Yue immediately turned her head to look at the two handsome Immortals who were still causing some minor butterflies to flutter their little wings excitedly in her stomach.

"What deal?" She asked while arching her eyebrows in question.

The two of them looked at each other for a second before the Immortal in the blue robe turned his attention towards Silver before asking, "Can you give us some privacy? We would like to talk about this with her privately." 

The instant shake of Silver's head that denied his request immediately made Qing Shan furrow his brows as he stared at the silver-haired and green-eyed man.

"I'm not living in case the three of you ended up losing your control once again. It's better for me to stay here and keep a watch over you guys. Besides, she's going to tell me everything even if you got to talk to her in private now. The two of us don't keep secrets between us." 

The last sentence was filled with confidence and Ying Yue could tell that Silver was in the mood to show off his close bond with her. She was aware that his mate bond was making him kind of possessive and jealous, that's why she did not say anything and stayed silent while the three men glared at each other.

If worse came to worst, she would let the three of them sort out their problems against each other on their own. There was no way she would try to take sides at the moment. If she sides with Silver, she would end up annoying her two Immortal mates, and if she sides with the latter, she would end up upsetting Silver. Neither of these sounded like a great idea to her.

After staring at each other for a short while, Wang Shu was the first one to break the uncomfortable silence as he spoke to his brother, "Let's just tell them. The sooner the better."

Though Qing Shan wasn't happy about Silver's presence in the room, he still decided to give in for the time being. After all, they had an important matter to take care of.

He turned his attention towards the girl as he spoke, "We indeed have a deal for you."

"Yes?" 

Jiang Ying Yue tried to stay calm and patient but it was proving to be hard for her to do so. She just somehow succeeded in keeping her mouth close as she waited for the man to continue.

"We know all about what you have been doing for the past few days. As a captive of the Imperial family, have you ever thought about the consequences if you got caught? You won't be able to save yourself at that moment no matter how hard you would try to run away from this place."

"Are you threatening me?" Ying Yue asked in a cold tone as she glared at the man.

A small twitch appeared on Qing Shan's lips as he slightly shook his head before answering, "No! I'm just letting you know why you should consider accepting our deal... The Ultimate deal."
