Chapter 1079 – 13th Madame Makes Her Move
Chapter 1079 – 13th Madame Makes Her Move
It wasn’t just Feature who was being paid attention to – there was also Qin Yu.
When the group left the inn, the charming Spring Breeze 13th Madame immediately obtained the news. Her willowy eyebrows rose and a cold chill flashed in her eyes.
Just as Qin Yu thought before, if she didn’t do anything after suffering such a humiliating experience, how could she continue maintaining her position in Five Origin City?
She had to do something. But Feature and Qin Yu had mysterious origins. 13th Madame utilized some methods yet still wasn’t able to determine their background.
But from the strength they had displayed at the auction hall, even an idiot could tell that they were a hard bone. If someone were to bite down on them without preparation, they would surely break several teeth.
With the strength she possessed in Five Origin City, it was impossible to have them pay a price. So if she wanted revenge, she could only borrow the strength of those people.
She had already sent out information about this matter. She just hadn’t received a reply yet.
For many years, the demons of Five Origin City had wanted to know just what sort of background 13th Madame was hiding behind her.
And in truth, this background was so terrifying that even she felt fear from it, so much so that she didn’t hope to contact them. If it weren’t for the extreme shame and anger she felt this time, she wouldn’t have taken the initiative to message them.
Of course, anger and shame was only one part of it. The most important thing was that she would obtain enough advantages from this.
For instance, the nine-tailed demon fox girl who stood behind that boy. If she could seize her demon seed bloodline, her strength would rise drastically.
In a secret chamber below the embroidery shop, a mass of demonic energy rose up. It condensed into an ugly face. Then, its mouth opened and it said, “Reporting to master, they have already left town and are headed southwest.”
13th Madame waved her hand. “I understand. Continue tracking them. Be careful and don’t allow yourself to be spotted.”
The ugly face cackled a few times, “Rest assured master, it is impossible for them to discover my traces.”
Pa –
With a light sound, the ugly face blew apart, dissolving into tumbling demonic energy that faded into the air.
…
The environment in the abyss was difficult to survive in. This was not just a phrase, but an absolute truth. Besides the various demon cities and their surrounding regions being relatively more secure, the rest of the vast abyss was the world of demon beasts.
Unless they had confidence in their own strength, common demons would never go on a journey alone.
Otherwise most of them were likely to go and never return. They would turn into flesh and blood in the demon beasts’ bellies.
Feature and Qin Yu hurried along at a smooth pace, experiencing almost no problems. This was because they were sufficiently strong.
The Demon Commander level Shadowless Demon roamed the path, secretly sweeping away all dangerous factors they might encounter.
Because of a mutation that occurred to his shadow demon seed bloodline, Shadowless Demon had an ultra-strong ability to conceal himself. So, it was easy for him to handle these matters.
Moreover, when he was in his shadow-state, he had an ultra-strong perception ability. If any demonic energy approached, unless it surpassed the limits of his perception strength then there was no way for it to escape his senses.
And at this time, in the shadow of a great tree, Shadowless Demon was staring expressionlessly at a semi-transparent phantom in front of him.
Although he couldn’t hear his voice, this sort of sneaky stalking behavior was clearly done with ill intent. If it weren’t for the fact that Miss Feature had warned him not to act rashly, he would have broken this person’s neck a long time ago.
Hum hum, this person still dared to act so dissolute in front of him with such concealing skills? They had no idea of death or danger!
This had happened in Five Origin City once, and now was another time. It was clear that everything was within Miss Feature’s control.
He was really curious as to what miss was plotting right now.
But no matter what the truth was, there was one point he was sure of – these demons that were trying to do something would surely suffer a miserable fate.
They had already left the city but Blue Wave had no intention of leaving; he kept following behind. The good news was that Feature seemed to have chosen to acquiesce to this point and didn’t ask why they hadn’t split off yet.
This was certainly good news!
There was no sun and moon in the abyss, but one could recognize the time. When the light was at its brightest, it was noon.
Black Astral heard the sound of knocking from within the carriage. He pulled his hands back and the two elk beasts came to an immediate stop.
He jumped off the carriage and respectfully said, “Sir, miss, is there anything I can help you with?”
The carriage opened up from inside. Feature stepped out and covered her eyes, looking around. “The environment here isn’t bad. Since we’re tired from travelling, let’s rest here.”
Concerning this, Qin Yu never had an opinion. Old Fox, Black Astral, and the others definitely wouldn’t say anything.
As for whether or not the environment here was good…
Well, there was a river in front that was relatively rapid. Plus, one could hear the roars of the water crashing into the earth. There should be a waterfall not too far away.
Sure enough, when one looked up into the distance, they could see a mountain peak peering out from the tree branches. A faint fog lingered around it.
Because there was abundant water and the surrounding forest was lively, some small and weak demon beasts were drinking water on the shallower side of the river. Their vigilant eyes locked onto the uninvited guests.
Whoosh –
At this time, the river’s surface exploded and a giant fish flew out. It was ten feet long. It had been hiding in the water before and hadn’t been sensed.
Now, it opened its teeth to reveal rows of fierce teeth before biting down on a small demon beast that had been drinking water on the shore. It landed and dragged it back into the water, causing a plume of blood red water to appear on the surface.
Qin Yu’s lips twitched. If it weren’t for that incident, this environment could barely be considered serene and beautiful.
But now, there was no aesthetic sense at all.
But Feature clearly didn’t think the same. Her eyes widened with excitement. If she weren’t acting, she might have jumped inside.
She glanced at Black Astral, “That big fish must taste good.”
Black Astral nodded, “I will catch that fish for miss!”
He walked over to the riverside and leapt in without hesitation.
With his previous examples of catching fish and shrimp in the big lake, in the eyes of Feature, the once dignified master of the ‘Merry Forest’ had turned into a wonderful fisherman.
Old Fox laughed and began to arrange a temporary camp. With Mian Ya and the two little children helping her, they soon cleared the weeds and leveled the ground. With the corresponding items placed on the ground, it seemed like a proper resting place.
“Miss, what would you like to eat today?”
Feature licked her lips. “Barbecue is a must. Fresh fish skewers or something like that. It must come from the river. Whatever is left over can be used to make fish soup. Old Fox, I believe you can make a delicious feast.”
After being praised so highly, Old Fox stood up tall and struck his chest, as if to guarantee his skills. “Miss, you can rest assured. Black Astral can obtain some more ingredients and I will show you my culinary skills. Before, there were also two chickens that my clansman gave to me. Using the special techniques of our Fox Clan, the taste is definitely one of the best. I’m sure that miss won’t be disappointed!”
Gulp –
Feature swallowed her saliva before waving her hand, indicating for him to begin. When she turned around, her noble and solemn lady-like appearance had returned.
Blue Wave cupped his hands together and bowed, “Miss Feature, are you prepared to camp here?”
“Mm, there is nothing important in this trip, I am just casually travelling around. If there is nothing else, Sir Blue Wave can leave first.” Feature smiled as she spoke, “There haven't been any problems so far. I believe that 13th Madame should have given up on her revenge by now.”
Blue Wave shook his head, “Although that is true, you cannot be negligent. I will escort miss for a bit longer before considering whether it is good to leave.”
He turned and said, “Go and help Miss Feature expand the camp. Then search the surroundings. I don’t want any unsightly demon beasts ruining miss’ fun.”
“Yes, sir!” Black Armor nodded and bowed. He turned and led his team away.
Although Blue Wave didn’t like him, until they returned to Adversity Peak City, Black Armor was still the leader of the demon guards.
And Blue Wave didn’t want to show any disagreement with his subordinates in front of Feature. After all, this could be considered a lack of leadership ability.
With these people helping, a relatively large camp was soon set up.
Qin Yu comfortably leaned back against a seat. He glanced at the busy demons and then at the handsome Blue Wave who was happily chatting with Feature. His lips twitched and he closed his eyes.
Whatever. Although Feature said she was doing this for her own entertainment, there was no smoke without fire. If it weren’t for this Blue Wave harboring bad intentions, he wouldn’t have fallen into her trap. Since it was his choice, the only one he could blame in the end was himself!
A drenched Black Astral emerged from the river, tossing the big fish onto the ground.
This fellow’s vitality was tyrannical. Even though its head had been beaten up, it still struggled and didn’t immediately die.
Old Fox laughed and received it. He asked Black Astral to find some more food materials and then dragged the big fish to the side to prepare it.
Fish skewers, fish soup, or whatever else, none of this was difficult for the kitchen-trained Old Fox.
In fact, he even changed his skills. He took materials out from the fish to make four or five different dishes.
This sight filled Blue Wave’s heart with emotion. This person had carried a demon crystal card, yet in front of Feature he was nothing more than an old servant who acted as a chef.
Such a simple thing fully demonstrated her status and dignity…it had to be known that Old Fox and Black Astral were of equal standing.
And the feeling that Black Astral gave to Black Armor was that of at least a peak Demon General.
In other words, this busy old fellow who was preparing food was at least a Demon General.
A Demon General could be considered a junior nobleman in the abyss. They could even receive a courteous reception from a Demon Commander.
Only those royal families from deep within the abyss that were extremely strong could regard powerful Demon Generals as ordinary servants – this was because these Demon Generals had been cultivated from amongst their slaves.
And it was because of this that even if Old Fox and Black Astral had a Demon General level cultivation, they were still willing to act as her servants without any sign of dissatisfaction.
Of course, these were all thoughts that Blue Wave made up in his own mind, but it was indeed suitable for the moment. The more he looked at things, the more he felt it was like this.
So in his heart, Feature’s status only grew higher. He spoke even more carefully and tried his best to draw close to her without appearing as if he were groveling or deliberately flattering her.
Women loved men that were a little obedient, but they would never like those who tried to lick their faces like dogs.
Otherwise, even if they could accept it for a while they would soon grow tired of the greasy feeling and then send them far away with a kick!
As the barbecue was beginning to take shape under Old Fox’s exquisite skills, in Five Origin City, Spring Breeze 13th Madame finally received the news she was waiting for.
They had finally agreed to take action!
In truth, 13th Madame wasn’t surprised by this at all. After all, that maid represented a formidable Demon King bloodline.
To those people, this was an irresistible temptation. In particular, 13th Madame knew that the commander of these people had been thinking of a way to break through their limits these years.
And a formidable Demon King bloodline would undoubtedly be a powerful boost. It was likely to help him achieve his wish for a breakthrough.
Her lips curved up in a charming smile, but it was also incomparably cold. 13th Madame stood up and slowly said, “Little brother, I said that we would see each other soon…then, I’ll see you in a moment.”
Shua –
Demonic energy emerged, submerging her figure before she vanished from sight.
During the daytime, Shadowless Demon’s concealment ability would be affected. But he was still a top rank hunter.
Beneath his black robes, his eyes turned until they landed on a shadow in front that was slowly retreating away.
“He’s useless to me.” Feature’s voice suddenly rang out in his ears.
Shadowless Demon’s lips curved up in a smile. He silently followed behind the shadow until he left the range of the camp.
“What a group of ignorant juniors, you dare to provoke my master? Today, I will have all of you die deep within the wilderness!” With a fiendish grin, the shadow rapidly condensed into reality, taking man-form.
Then he turned and looked behind. But at this time, the condensed demon’s eyes widened with panic.
Because a pair of icy cold eyes was floating in the air and indifferently staring at him.
“You…” Before he could finish his sentence an arm emerged from thin air and grabbed onto his neck. Strength surged through the fingers.
With a faint crack, terrifying demonic energy swelled up. The light in the eyes of the bent head vanished. Then, the body of the demon turned into powder that vanished without a trace.
Were they making a move?
Shadowless Demon licked his lips, excitement on his expression. He needed a round of slaughter to demonstrate his own value.
Hehe, come! Come!
But soon, Shadowless Demon’s killing spree excitement was pressed down as quickly as it began.
Feature had him hide away in secret. Without her instruction, he couldn’t attack on his own.
He could see his prey but couldn’t do anything about it. This wasn’t a good feeling, but compared to Miss Feature’s orders, what did anything else matter?
