âI never lie, nor do I care if you believe me or not.â
An explanation was already his limit, heâs not willing to go any further than this. As to this pipsqueak believing himself or not, thatâs her own business. Heâs too lazy to make excuses when heâs done nothing to warrant such accusations.
âI believe you.â Clearing some of her tears, Di Ling Yan finally pulls herself up from the ground. Speaking in a cuddly voice: âSince Sister Suzaku isnât here then Iâll leave first, goodbye Mr. Stranger.â
The news of her friends being alive naturally relieved the pipsqueak, but her figure didnât get to make it very far before the loud booming voice of the man stopped her retreating footsteps.
âWait!â
Turning back to face the person: âI should go Mr. Stranger, Big Brother will be looking everywhere for me by now.â
That childish excuse definitely amused the man as he chuckled: âPipsqueak, this place cannot be found by anyone, you are the only exception thus far.â
âWhat?â Di Ling Yan didnât understand so she quickly pressed for an explanation, âIsnât this the Demon Mountain? Sister Suzakuâs been living here for a long time, how come she never found you?â
âI donât know what this Demon Mountain you are referring to but the fact that you are able to reach this place is fate. As long as you donât disturb me then I will spare your life. Now pipsqueak, come over!â
Di Ling Yan hesitated and took a few steps back instead: âBig Brother does not allow me to approach strangers, itâs better if you just tell me like this, I wonât go over.â
The man is likely not a good person, I better keep my distance from him.
What if....
This man wants to eat me?
If thatâs the case then no one can save me.
The man squinted his already irritated eyes: âIf you want to know the whereabouts of your Sister Suzaku then come over to my side, I have something to tell you.â
Taken aback by that, the pipsqueak couldnât tell if heâs speaking the truth or trying to trick herself. Perhaps itâs due to the worry she has towards the four sacred beasts, but the girl slowly inched forward regardless of her own woes.
Stopping while thereâs still a little distance between themselves: âYou can tell me now.â
Wah!
Suddenly without any indication, a gust of wind blew the little pipsqueak from the back and sent her forward. Before she knew it, Di Ling Yanâs already in the hand of this deceitful scum.
Stiff and pitiful in the face, tears rolled out of those eyes in the heat of the moment: âYou... are you going to eat me?â
But instead of answering her sobby question, the scum abruptly leaned downwards and kissed her, sending shock to the poor young girlâs mind.
Di Ling Yan naturally popped her eyes out in surprise, losing all color from that little face. Unfortunately, the instinctive fear had a stronger grip in this scuffle for sheâs too afraid of him accidentally gobbling her up in its entirety by accident.
Iâm so cute, why would anyone want to eat me, wohoo....
Then thatâs when something round and beady slipped into her mouth and causing her to instinctively gulp it down.
Flustered she may be, helpless as well, but a fawn remains a helpless fawn. All this baby girl could do was show a pathetic and helpless face as the scum did what he wanted.
However, before Di Ling Yan could find the time to inquire further about the sexual assault on herself, a searing sensation of fire suddenly wanted to burst forward from the chest. Itâs super intense heat and increasingly more painful at that!
