Chapter 1154 “I’ll Find You (6)”
“Oh? Then I got no other choices then.” Shrugging at the old goat’s unwillingness, she continues to smile without care, “I only offered you the deal because I don’t like the sinister nature of the snakes. If you aren’t willing then I can always offer Half Qing Sing the same deal and help her kill you.”
The demoness didn’t take that indirect threat very well at all; in fact, her face had turned ugly when speaking out to shoot the notion down. “Dragony Flame, I will never sign a soul binding contract with her!”
In other words, you don’t have a reason to play along with the human because she won’t do it, hence defaulting on Bai Yan’s poised threat.
Sure enough, the indecisive goat stopped swaying after hearing that reassurance and bellowed out a laugh: “little girl, you can stop threatening me now, I am Dragon God, a being far beyond the comprehensions of a measly human. How can you ever think of soul binding me with a ritualistic contract?”
Not getting impatient, Bai Yan didn’t respond right away and instead found a nearby tree to take a seat. One arm holding her boy and the other combing through her daughter’s hair, she was all comfy and happy in her position.
“I don’t mind waiting, you can think on it. Choose to leave here and regain your freedom, or continue to live out the rest of your life in this miserable and godforsaken place, the choice is yours.” After throwing that out there, she went ahead to close her eyes for rest and waited.
……
Demon City.
All the demons gathered here today were trembling with terrible fright right now due to the oppressive might of the demon king sitting on the throne.
“Why did none of you locate my wife yet after more than half a month?” The man’s voice sounded extremely cold, choking even to those beneath with his every word.
Eventually it was First Elder who worked up the courage to answer: “Sire, we have dug a hundred feet into the ground and still found no traces of Her Highness. Might I ask, are you sure the queen is in that place?”
“You think my instincts are wrong?” Di Cang’s frustration could literally be felt by everyone at this point, making the atmosphere in this throne room all the more suffocating. “Continue to dig, do not come back to see me if you can’t find my wife!”
Bowing his head, First Elder and the rest of his subjects complied in unison: “Yes Sire.”
Very soon, the only one remaining was the demon king himself. Once he’s alone, Di Cang could no longer keep supporting his body and tiredly fell back against his throne chair. Muttering helplessly to himself: “Yan Yan, if you’re not by my side then what point is there to my life? I’ve said it before, I will turn heaven and earth in order to find you. Not even hell will block me from you!”
……
Back over in the underground valley, Bai Yan remains closely seated to the altar and was oblivious to the commotion she caused due to her own disappearance.
“Fine, I promise you.” Dragon Flame finally gave in after seeing the woman had no intention of budging after all these days of waiting. However, this wouldn’t be the end of it for this dragon god. Once he regains his strength, the goat monster had every intent to forcibly break the contract and make her pay!
Seeing through to the monster’s scheme, Bai Yan draws her lips into a cheeky smirk. Want to scheme against me? We will see who gets stronger first, you recovering quicker or me growing faster!
“Since I am not as strong as you right now, there are risks involved if we continue with the contract.” She explains in a relaxed manner, “The minimal affect is the failing of the ritual if you give resistance, the major is endangering my life at the end of it, so….”
