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 .
