âHow are you liking this?â Bai Yan asks, fully aware of the minimal damage felt by the big guy before turning over to the rest of the humans. âI called you all here today to give everyone a chance, a chance to live.â Losing all of the playful air, she becomes sharp and dominating with the aura of a ruler and leader.
What does she mean? How is she going to let us live? Their hearts trembled, showing surprise and fear in the faces.
Still smiling but more difficult to read now: âI presume you all know what has happened today at the tavern. If you want to live then be contracted by my daughter, if you donât then become food for her belly.â
To live, thereâs only one path laid before them and thatâs to become slaves.
A cold shudder overtakes the humans here. They all turned to stare at the innocent looking lass thatâs carelessly eating the fruits in hand, and they gulpedâ¦.
âIâ¦Iâ¦â One of the captives wanted to speak up, but before he could, another voice interjects from the rear.
âLady, some of us never took part in Wu Xiongâs mess that day. It shouldnât involve us so why did you summon us here?â
Narrowing her eyes, Bai Yanâs sight quickly fell upon the owner of that voice. Itâs an old senior by the name of He Ling, one of the rare high level Saint Ranks in this border city.
Originally this He Ling was in the middle of cuddling with his little concubine in bed when he got dragged out of his home, thatâs why heâs so disgruntled at the rudeness. Furthermore, thereâs no lie in his defense, he never took part in Wu Xiongâs shenanigans so why should he stay?
âHow can there be nothing if I called you here?â Bai Yan then leans against her own husbandâs chest, that face lazy and content: âThis border city is the closest settlement between the Demon Realm and Celestial Realm. As it so happens Iâm growing a interest on this place so itâs only normal I meet the leaders.â
He Lingâs heart dropped, growing an increasingly sense of wariness: âWhat do you mean by that?â
âIsnât it obvious already? You and the rest of you old bones are to contract with my daughter. This border city will be mine!â
This woman, does she know what sheâs saying? This border city canât compare with the main forces of the two realms, thatâs true, but itâs nothing to be scoffed at either. Based on what can she make such a demand? Without these demons by her side, sheâs nothingâ¦.. He Ling thought, not fully willing to listen.
âLady, you must be kidding right?â Slightly quivering due to the immense aura coming out of Di Cangâs body, the old fella didnât want to sound offending: âOur border city belongs to the Celestial Realm. You are from the Demon Realm, why should we accept your rule?â
Beasts, whether of demon origin or celestial origin, has always been servile to humanity since ancient times. It was only after the establishment of the Demon Realm that those animals grew some backbone and began resisting the deities, hence the degrading opinion running through these humans.
