The man’s pair of eyes shone, revealing an excited expression that was completely similar to Sesame’s, as though it was high on drugs. Even the crowd of demonic beasts behind him were the same. Although they were crawling on the ground, submissively and respectfully, their eyes were all staring straight and intensely at her. With sparkles and colorful luster, you know?
Lord, look at me, look at me!
The corner of Zhu Yao’s lips twitched, and her face darkened. At that instant, the depths of her heart were filled with retorts, yet, she did not know where to speak up from. The hell with ‘without hesitation’!?
“Lord…” Seeing that she wasn’t saying anything, the man suddenly knelt down, and his entire figure was even about to lean onto the ground. With an excited expression, he spoke. “This little one is named Chen Ning, and have no one to rely on since young. Lord, please take in this little one to serve you by your side.”
When these words fell, all of the surrounding beastly eyes shifted with a ‘shuaa’ sound, and they all stared at him, all of them carried expressions as though they hated they could not strangle him to death right now. Such a shameless little one, he actually dared to say such disrespectful words. However, why didn’t they think of it?
All of them grinded their teeth…
Chen Ning turned around, looked at the crowd of demonic beasts with narrow eyes, and gave them a provocative smile. This one has already said it, if you have the guts, come and bite me. Lord, look at me once more.
The corner of Zhu Yao’s lips twitched, as she looked at that person who was attached to the ground. Are you trying to fool ghosts? Find me a demonic beast which had someone to rely on!
Heaving a sigh, only now did she guess that this person who called himself Chen Ning, was at least a tenth-ranked demonic beast who had transformed himself.
Zhu Yao retracted her aura, and waved towards to the black mass of demonic beasts. “All of you, return to where you come from. I don’t have anything to request of all of you.”
When these words fell, Zhu Yao instantly felt the depressed atmosphere around her, and their sadness and frustration. Only after a moment did the beasts unwillingly began to crawl up. Taking their time with their steps, it looked as though they were waiting for her to change her mind.
Most probably because this place was close to the Demon Realm, the demonic beasts in this forest were mostly big and strong. Just by this crowd alone, there were about eight tenth-ranked demonic beasts, and the weakest was an eighth-ranked. Other than the human-transformed Chen Ning, all of them were beastly figures with great height, and when they moved, it felt as though mountains were moving.
And she really couldn’t figure out how they managed to sneak up behind her.
Zhu Yao sighed. Looking at the riverbank in front of her, she suddenly had an idea. Since the jade fell on this riverbank, then what if there wasn’t a riverbank?
“Wait a minute!”
The moment Zhu Yao called out, the demonic beasts which were in the process of scattering apart, instantly crawled back. Their eyes were instantly much brighter than before.
“Lord, what instructions do you have?” Chen Ning had even leaned onto her, and looked as though he hated that he could not hug her thigh at that very instant. After being coldly glanced at by her, it then obediently took a few steps back, before kneeling onto the ground once again.
“…” Uh… There’s no need to be this disciplined, right?
“I do indeed have a matter to trouble all of you.”
When her words fell, a series of responses immediately came from below.
“Lord, please tell us.”
“Lord, give us your instructions.”
“Even if we have to die, we will do it without any hesitation.”
“Rooar~~”
Zhu Yao’s expression darkened as she looked at this crowd of overly enthusiastic demonic beasts. Although she knew that the reason why they saw her as their Lord was because of the suppressive ability of her dragon bloodline, she still could not relax in the depths of her heart. After all, she once had the experience of almost being bitten by a demonic beast to death.
“It’s nothing much. I simply think that this river is too narrow…” Zhu Yao activated her ‘spouting lies with widened eyes’ mode. “Ahem… Such a beautiful river, yet, it has such an ugly river bank. I think that it’s actually affecting the beauty as a whole. Hence, I wish to dig the riverbank a little deeper, and expand the river a little.”
The moment she said that, even Zhu Yao felt that this reason was absolutely bullshit. And that place was where the magic seal was, even she did not dare to enter it herself, let alone this crowd of demonic beasts. It would be strange for people to accept her request, right?
“I see, Lord, what you said makes so much sense.”
“I have long seen this riverbank as an eyesore.”
