Tang Qi was in his Second Body, which had a somewhat ferocious appearance, enhanced by a weathered demeanor that ironically made him more persuasive.
After being frozen for half a second, El finally understood Tang Qi's trade proposal.
Without even thinking, he quickly responded: "Okay!"
Compared to the safety of his family, not to mention a tube of blood, even if it cost him his life, he was willing to agree.
If Tang Qi couldn't deliver, then there would be no deal to discuss, for by then everyone would likely be dead.
Just before El agreed, the Evil Spirit, sensing something amiss, violently gripped the handle of its great chopper, trying to retract it in order to kill the unwanted guest who disturbed its meal. It was immensely powerful; humans were as fragile as paper in its presence.
But this time, it miscalculated.
It pulled once and failed.
Then, it saw Tang Qi, who had just received a definitive answer, turn back towards the Evil Spirit with a mocking smile.
Buzz!
