Chapter 310: The Hunter’s Plan
In the far most eastern mountains of Donghua, there were lush mountains everywhere. Hundreds of yellow and white ancient wooden houses were scattered on top of a large mountain which looked rather old.
Two people were seated in the courtyard of the tallest mountain.
One of them was an old man dressed in orange. He looked around seventy to eighty years old and he had long, gray-white hair and a messy-looking beard. His tanned, skinny face made him look as though he was poisoned. He looked rather frightening.
Shockingly, the other beautiful woman dressed in green was Chu Qingchuan.
“What’s wrong? Didn’t that Black Cat Demon help you catch the world’s most handsome man, Nangong Ba?” said the old man in a deep and hoarse voice. With his wrinkled brows and eyes, one couldn’t read his emotions.
“Hmph! That Black Cat demon really is untrustworthy. I told her to kidnap Nangong Ba but that stinking cat actually kidnapped the mayor of Yulan City. She pissed me off!” Chu Qingchuan looked furious, as she slammed the table.
The old man calmly stroked his beard. “Fifth Princess, you saved my life once before, so I’ll help you capture the man of your dreams. Hehehe…”
“How will you help? Besides parasitic and venomous techniques, what else can the Great Vine Tribe do?” said Chu Qingchuan in annoyance and gave him the side-eye.
“Fifth Princess, do you know why you don’t hold much value to the emperor? It’s because you don’t use your brain.” The tanned, old man had an expression on his face as if to say that he saw through her.
Chu Qingchuan forcefully slammed the table. “Old man Black Death, is that how you speak to the person who saved your life? If I hadn’t stolen the poison antidote from the palace for you, you would have died long ago!” She said angrily.
Black Death raised his brows. “Fifth Princess, I’ve taught you the art of parasitic poison all these years. I think that’s retribution enough.”
“What do you mean that’s enough? I saved your damn life! Also, if I hadn’t helped you behind the scenes, could you have been made an elder of the tribe?” Chu Qingchuan stated as a matter-of-fact.
Black Death shook his head. “Forget it. I won’t bicker with a little girl like you. Besides, you won’t have many good days left,” he said nonchalantly.
Chu Qingchuan furrowed her brows. “Why do you say that? Besides that heinous Emperor of Beiming who sent out a lot of people to kill me, I have no other troubles.”
Once again, the Black Death was left speechless by Chu Qingchuan’s intelligence. “Use your brain and think about those demonic beasts you set free for a moment. Do you think there’ll be peace in Donghua in the future? I reckon it’s not long now before they wipe out the entire human race but the Big Vine tribe. After all, I have a plan to defeat those demonic beasts.”
“Those demonic beasts wouldn’t be ungrateful to that level!” Chu Qingchuan tightly furrowed her pretty brows with some anxiety.
Black Death broke out in cold sweat. “Fifth Princess, don’t tell me you believe those demonic beasts will remember your kindness. They’re demons! Not humans.”
Chu Qingchuan bit her lip with the dilemma in her heart. “Then what should we do? I don’t want to wait for death!” She asked, as she furrowed her brows and stared at Black Death.
“That’s an issue between your nations. I’m not going to concern myself over this. Let’s get back to Nangong Ba,” said Black Death.
Chu Qingchuan furrowed her brows.
Old Man Black Death stroked his beard and flashed an evil smile. “I’ve worked hard for many years to produce a queen parasite. Whoever eats this queen parasite will be able to control the person who eats their children.” With that said, Black Death didn’t continue but looked at Chu Qingchuan in hopes she could come to the realization on her own.
