267 Ah, that spot won't do

Sunless and company were released from their petrified states. Immediately, they cast complicated gazes at Shi Xiaobai's back. Although they had been petrified, they could still hear. Although they could not understand what the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign's barking meant, they could hear everything Shi Xiaobai had said.

The four of them were not fools. They understood Shi Xiaobai very well, and were certain what Shi Xiaobai was trying to do.

Shi Xiaobai had pretended to act cold and ruthless, with complete disregard for their lives. He labeled them as 'fools', not because it was a contrived plot of him revealing his true evil nature. He did it to deceive the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign so that it would ignore them, the people Shi Xiaobai cared the most.
