Chapter 2913: Chapter 2914: Negotiation

Jiang Yichun quickly walked over, and only after seeing clearly the face of Lady Sun did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"What, afraid I’ll run away?" She looked up at Jiang Yichun and asked.

Jiang Yichun squinted his eyes, "You’re not her, who are you?"

Lady Sun laughed, and it was a very eerie laughter, "You have a good eye, but unfortunately you’re just a half-blooded Merfolk, not very powerful."

Bai Ruozhu caught up and overheard this conversation, making her heart skip a beat, this isn’t Lady Sun, who is it?

"Are you the Thousand-eyed Monster?" Jiang Yichun asked.

"Talking to smart people is always interesting, but the name Thousand-eyed Monster is too ugly, you can call me Master Chitong." Lady Sun laughed again, an eerie smile, she was still the same person, but her aura was completely different.

"How did you get into her body?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

He laughed, "It’s just a strand of Demon Power, just came to say a few words to you, to give you a heads-up."

"Telling us not to meddle in your affairs?" Jiang Yichun’s face turned cold, "You intend to harm the Danliang Emperor, how can we not intervene?"

"I can promise you, not to lay hands on the Danliang Emperor, after all, he’s not the only emperor, I can also assure that the Yueqiu Tribe will withdraw their troops, this is my sincerity." He said.

Bai Ruozhu hesitated in her heart, if he keeps his promise, this would be the best outcome.

But can a demon’s words be trusted?

He has harmed many people, should he just be let go like this?

But if we confront him head-on, can we be his match?

"Why do you back down, you have no reason to fear us?" Jiang Yichun asked.

The Thousand-eyed Monster laughed loudly, using Lady Sun’s body, a high official’s wife laughed like a madwoman, this portrayal was indeed a bit peculiar, attracting the attention of nearby Prison Guards and Niu Butou.

He suddenly glanced at them, and the eyes of the Prison Guards showed bewilderment, their expressions becoming somewhat off.

Bai Ruozhu understood this scenario too well, it’s just like when Xiaomao creates an Illusory Realm to confuse people, with just one look, those Prison Guards were bewildered.

However, Niu Butou remained unaffected, only dazed for a second before continuing to walk over.

"This, this is so sinister?" he asked quietly.

The Astrologer blocked him front, "Don’t come any closer."

Niu Butou dared not take another step forward, he still wanted to live a few more days, the incident with the Dancing Girls last time was already enough to frighten him for a while.

"Do you think I would fear you?" He asked, that glance was merely a means to intimidate Jiang Yichun and the others.

Jiang Yichun pressed his lips, not rushing to speak.

"I merely want to avoid trouble, and have no intention of committing any great evil, so why persist in fighting to the end?" He laughed again, "Unless your Yin Yang Master insists on capturing me, but clearly you lack such skills, you can’t even find where I am."

These words directly slapped the Astrologer’s face, who emitted a murderous aura, angered.

Ao Song suddenly patted his shoulder, "Don’t bother with him."

The Thousand-eyed Monster saw fit to pull back, "Consider it, if you insist on fighting me, none of you will benefit."

He was right about one thing, none of us would benefit, and he was well aware he would be in trouble.

Jiang Yichun and Bai Ruozhu exchanged looks, both understanding each other’s thoughts were in agreement.

"Alright, I agree with you, but if you break your promise, you know Danliang Country has no shortage of Daoists, Magic Technique experts, Fusang’s Yin Yang Masters can also cross the sea to come here." Jiang Yichun said.

"I’m afraid you’ll be the one to break your promise first, I have plenty of long years to squander." He laughed heartily, and in an instant, Lady Sun’s bright eyes dulled, and she fainted to the ground.

"Is, is he gone?" Niu Butou asked, but his voice wavered slightly.

The Astrologer tossed a talisman to verify, "Gone."

The group returned to the Guest House, reporting the situation in the jail to the Emperor.

"Set out on time tomorrow, but still be cautious." Tang Yin said.

Everyone went back to pack their luggage, the Astrologer reiterated his earlier thoughts, the danger comes from the Thousand-eyed Monster, so staying together is safer.

So they finally decided that everyone will set off together tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Shu brought someone back.

"Master, please take her in." Zhao Shu pulled Kuai Xian and knelt before the Astrologer.

"Why did you bring her back?" The Astrologer’s face darkened, nobody liked this girl Kuai Xian.

Zhao Shu showed a conflicted expression, "I know Kuai Xian was wrong, she was selfish, but she was terrified then, and made mistakes. To err is human, is it not possible to give her a chance to repent? We grew up together, I truly cannot bear it."

Ao Song hearing the commotion came over, glaring as he asked, "Zhao Shu, have you been cursed? Or do you like this girl? Let her repent and renew herself? We haven’t even held her accountable, what more do you want?"

"Ao Song has a point, we have not punished her, which is the greatest mercy already, why must we help her?" The Astrologer said.

Kuai Xian began to cry woefully, "I know I was wrong, please take me in, or else I have nowhere to go, only to be caught back by the brothel again."

"Having nowhere to go, go home, I don’t believe you can’t return." Ao Song said impatiently.

"Then, then I’ll go apologize to Lady Bai, ask her to forgive me." Kuai Xian said cautiously.

Ao Song sneered, "You might as well try."

Kuai Xian got up, thinking that compared to this fierce miss, Bai Ruozhu seemed more reasonable, besides, she injured Bai Ruozhu’s guards, as long as Bai Ruozhu forgave her, others couldn’t say anything.

Zhao Shu hesitated a bit, he actually realized Bai Ruozhu was the most difficult to deal with, she had her own principles.

Kuai Xian found Bai Ruozhu’s door, and knelt outside.

"Lady Bai, I know I was wrong, beat me, punish me, I only ask you to take me in, to let me serve as a slave or servant." She cried.

Bai Ruozhu sneered, the brothel was indeed a place of torment, only a few days had ground down Kuai Xian’s arrogance entirely, not simple.

"It’s all in the past, I won’t punish you, nor will I take you in, I’m not running a charity, even if I were, I’d only take in orphans and the disabled, you’re healthy, go where you ought to." She said in a calm voice.

"But if I’m taken back to the brothel, my purity will be ruined." Kuai Xian cried even harder.

"That’s your business." Bai Ruozhu said mercilessly, someone who repaid kindness with malice, nearly killing her guard, she didn’t dare keep, nor did she want to!

Kuai Xian was stunned, staring at her in disbelief, "Can’t you have a little compassion?"

Bai Ruozhu laughed, "Sorry, my compassion is not for you."
