Chapter 974 “Mother, There’s a Psycho Here (2)”
Swoosh~!
Holding it high, the guard ruthlessly slashes down.
“Wait!” In his panic, the youth crumbles to the floor and lands butt first there, urinating his pants in the process. “It’s…. it’s Wu Xiong who tasked me to come, he said he’s caught the woman!”
Thankfully his fate wasn’t meant to end today. Right as the blade’s about make contact to his head, a charming cheer of a voice comes jaunting over.
“Hold it!” Wearing a long pink dress, this lady had the most mesmerizing charm of a seductress.
I’m saved…. The young lad thought, both fearing and relieved of this woman’s entry.
Truth was, he had originally wanted to say it was Bai Yan who sent him here, but upon realizing the folly of that answer, he swiftly changed it to the big bulky man’s name instead. Who would willingly walk into a trap? No one that’s who, not those clever enough anyways.
“The woman you’re talking about, is she dressed in red and is surrounded by a little dragon girl?” Gently frowning, Hu Mei asks with a low voice.
“Yes, it’s her!” He nods in a hurry.
“The woman isn’t dead after entering the demonic mountain range?” The fox lady’s heart sank at the thought and causes her hand to reach for the jade pendant around the waist.
“She may have been lucky enough to come out of the mountains, but as soon as she did so, Wu Xiong had captured her after his men became aware.”
Suspicious in the face, Hu Mei tries testing the young lad by poking at his story: “I remember Wu Xiong is not her opponent, how did he capture her in the first place?”
Despite hearing his heart smashing into a puddle, the young man didn’t crack and hurried to explain: “That woman may have survived the ordeal but she sustained some serious injuries, that’s why Wu Xiong was able to take advantage of the situation and capture her. I’m here to inform the Fox Clan this news at his order.”
Pleased by the story, the lady smiles wildly and shot down any suspicion she had earlier. “Very well, I will go with you to meet Wu Xiong then.” Having said that, Hu Mei turns and orders the men behind herself: “Go inform my father of the news. I will go ahead and inspect that woman first.”
That’s not a careless remark either, it’s an indirect warning to the young man that her father will also becoming so don’t try anything.
“Yes, milady.” The guard respectfully complies and went inside.
“Lead the way, we’re going to see that woman.”
“Okay.” One couldn’t even begin to describe the joy felt in the frightened lad’s heart. However, he also knows better than to show his true feelings right now.
As for Hu Mei, she’s still blissfully oblivious to the disaster awaiting her at the tavern. In the fox lady’s mind, she’s still calculating on how to torture Bai Yan and rip the secrets from her mouth.
……
Study room.
Sitting in front of his desk, Hu Bud Wei was flipping through the books with a furrowed forehead. He doesn’t understand it himself, but he’s got a strange sensation that something huge was going to take place in the coming days.
“Ah!”
Its then one of the maid servants carelessly knocked down one of the books from the shelf and exclaims from the mistake.
