Chapter 973 “Mother, There’s a Psycho Here (1)”
“Good,” pleased by the answer, Bai Yan didn’t make it hard for them anymore. “Now I will have my daughter anti-contract you guys. Whoever disobeys and fail to complete the ritual will not be given another chance! In this city, there will only be two type of people, one that is enslaved by demons, the second being dead ones!” Her statement was sundering, causing the patrons here to tremble profusely in anticipation for their dreaded future.
Then without any warning, a humongous force comes slamming down from above, netting them all and binding their souls to the spot. Many inherently wanted to resist, but the invisible hand had gripped onto their neck and making it difficult to breath. Fortunately this uncomfortable sensation passed quickly. Half a ring later, the invisible force had gone away, leaving only their souls deeply marked with a sigil and never to be erased.
“Mother, it worked.” Dragony happily confirms her success by throwing those arms around the woman’s leg, “These people are my slaves now.”
“Well done,” Bai Yan answers that glee with a pat of the head. “After we are done here, I will reward you with a hearty meal tonight.”“Is it made by Mother?” the little missy asks with hopeful light in those blinking eyes.
“Mhmm,” Bai Yan nods with a smile and garners a burst of giggling joy from her daughter.
“Brother Highness said Mother’s cooking is the best, better than those chefs at the restaurant, but because he said its too hard on Mother that he doesn’t ask for it every day.”
Warmed by that little bit of knowledge, Bai Yan didn’t question the authenticity of those words. After all, the little steambun has always been the lovable son that she loves. In her view, the greatest thing to happen to her was to give birth to the boy.
“Lady, we’ve all listened to your demand, can we leave now?” The one speaking showed a flattering face with no hint of deception. However, Bai Yan’s cold returning stare had scared him so hard that he immediately shuts up.
“The good show isn’t even here yet, what’s the rush? Let’s wait until the curtain is drawn first, it won’t be too late then….”
For those listening, they have an aching suspicion today’s going to be a bloody one.……
Center of the border city, fox manor.
At this moment a young-looking man has been pacing back and forth between the front gate, his face showing tension and unease.
“What do you want?”
Suddenly, a loud bark came from within the estate, scaring the frightened lad into a jolting jump. He didn’t reply to that question of course, instead he turns to sneak a glance at the Wing Clan members hiding in a corner of the street before turning back to the guards.
“Nothing but a human, how dare you flaunt yourself before the fox’s home.” Cold in their face, one of the more daring of the guards had drawn his blade and placed it on the lad’s neck, “Speak, who sent you!”
Pale in the face, the youngster squirms with his leg before responding: “I’m here to seek an audience with Hu Bud Wei, or Hu Mei will do too.”
Snickering at that pompous demand: “Humans and demons are fire and water, who do you think you are to make such a demand? But since you are here already, you can forget about leaving!”
