"Kid, it's not that I let him go. That brat's Blood Escape was just too fast."
The One-Eyed Snow Worm explained to Jiang Chen.
In truth, it had been a moment too slow, and Mr. Gu, having anticipated this, had already escaped.
It sensed that Jiang Chen was likely very displeased.
Jiang Chen, however, said calmly, "This isn't your fault."
"Please return underground now."
He had no desire to interact with this One-Eyed Snow Worm any more than necessary.
After all, the One-Eyed Snow Worm was far too powerful, and he was genuinely afraid it might turn on him.
The One-Eyed Snow Worm immediately sensed Jiang Chen's genuine displeasure over its failure to kill Mr. Gu.
It let out a dry laugh.
"So, uh... could I ask you for a favor?"
'If Jiang Chen uses that Magic of his to break the Spirit Manipulation Technique binding me, I'll finally be free.'
How could the One-Eyed Snow Worm possibly pass up a chance to regain its freedom?
