Chapter 971 - A Demon’s Slave (3)
Chapter 971 “A Demon’s Slave (3)”
Unable to bear it anymore, the patrons all turned their heads away, not willing to spare another glance at the partially digested man…. However, the faint melodic voice of their worst nightmare wasn’t going to let them do that. When Bai Yan spoke again, almost everyone jolted in some way over her voice.
“Dragony, this man is too filthy with all those polluted elements in his body. Now is good, there’s so many people here in this tavern for you to enjoy.”
This time that linen robed man who wanted to plead for his life was now openly sobbing in tears. “Lady, I’m only joking, joking! A slave? Those from the Celestial Realm aren’t taking us as people anyways, being a slave is no different. Please, please don’t let her eat me….”
What’s there to fear in death? Nothing, only a split moment of pain before it’s over. But going in this fashion, being slowly digested and corroded alive? That’s too much to take. This person just couldn’t accept such a fate.
Dragony unfortunately didn’t understand Bai Yan was only using her as an intimidation so her outburst was that of grievance and unwilling: “Mother, I won’t eat this man since he’s going to be your slave, but can I eat the others here? I’ve been hungry for so many days already.”
“Didn’t that grandpa Fei Yi feed you while I was in closed-door training?” she asks with a warm and kind face, totally different from when confronting these other humans.
The little dragoness shakes her head pitiably.
“Be good, we will get you whatever you like once we are done here.” Giving the young missy a rub on the head, her attention promptly swept back to her targets. “As for these people, you can go ahead and eat anyone who disobeys, no need to spit them back out.”
The tavern patrons all shuddered for the umpteenth time today. They all had a dreaded look on their faces, which quickly changed to despairing acceptance once they finally looked down to the wriggling mass of flesh and bone on the floorboard.
“Mistress, I… I am willing to be your slave, please spare me.”
“Ooohwooo, I don’t want to be this little girl’s food, I’m very good, please don’t let her eat me….”
Whatever resistance they had was now gone, their willpower shattered from the repeated blows of shock and great scare.
This method of death, it’s too cruel, too cruel….
“No,” Bai Yan faintly chuckles at their misconception, “your mistress and master aren’t going to be me, it’s the demons as a whole. You lot are going to serve them all for the rest of your lives.”
This world has always followed the natural order of strong eating the weak. Back then demons are inferior to humanity so they could only be hunted for their skin, core, and flesh in exchange for material wealth. Well, now things have changed and its time she got things in order to balance the unequal exchange.
“Mother,” the little missy timely tugs at her sleeve, those eyes bright and worried. “Don’t be sad Mother, I will help you protect the demons of this world.”
Moved by how filial her goddaughter was, Bai Yan couldn’t help but give the girl’s cheek a pinch to show how much she adores this appearance from Dragony.
