Chapter 987 “City Subjugation (1)”
“How are you liking this?” Bai Yan asks, fully aware of the minimal damage felt by the big guy before turning over to the rest of the humans. “I called you all here today to give everyone a chance, a chance to live.” 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: “I presume you all know what has happened today at the tavern. If you want to live then be contracted by my daughter, if you don’t then become food for her belly.”
To live, there’s only one path laid before them and that’s to become slaves.
A cold shudder overtakes the humans here. They all turned to stare at the innocent looking lass that’s carelessly eating the fruits in hand, and they gulped….
“I…I…” One of the captives wanted to speak up, but before he could, another voice interjects from the rear.
“Lady, some of us never took part in Wu Xiong’s mess that day. It shouldn’t involve us so why did you summon us here?”
Narrowing her eyes, Bai Yan’s sight quickly fell upon the owner of that voice. It’s 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, that’s why he’s so disgruntled at the rudeness. Furthermore, there’s no lie in his defense, he never took part in Wu Xiong’s shenanigans so why should he stay?
“How can there be nothing if I called you here?” Bai Yan then leans against her own husband’s chest, that face lazy and content: “This border city is the closest settlement between the Demon Realm and Celestial Realm. As it so happens I’m growing a interest on this place so it’s only normal I meet the leaders.”
He Ling’s heart dropped, growing an increasingly sense of wariness: “What do you mean by that?”
“Isn’t it obvious already? You and the rest of you old bones are to contract with my daughter. This border city will be mine!”
This woman, does she know what she’s saying? This border city can’t compare with the main forces of the two realms, that’s true, but it’s nothing to be scoffed at either. Based on what can she make such a demand? Without these demons by her side, she’s nothing….. He Ling thought, not fully willing to listen.
“Lady, you must be kidding right?” Slightly quivering due to the immense aura coming out of Di Cang’s body, the old fella didn’t want to sound offending: “Our border city belongs to the Celestial Realm. You are from the Demon Realm, why should we accept your rule?”
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.
