Gu Shenwei had always been paranoid and on guard against strangers, but there were always some people he could not observe carefully, such as women who belonged to someone else.
On this, Maid Lotus had an advantage.
It had been a couple of years since the last time the fat chief had walked steadily by himself. His every move required the help of others. Therefore, he was constantly surrounded by eight girls, like the tentacles of a gigantic octopus, executing their master’s thoughts immediately.
The fat chief announced to the feast to begin. Four female slaves bowed their heads and walked out of the cave. At this moment, Maid Lotus pulled out her sword and blocked their way.
Maid Lotus’ actions triggered a fierce reaction.
The four female slaves screamed in unison and hid behind their master.
The guards outside the cave heard the screams, and dozens of them immediately rushed in with spears. They lined up, pointing their spears at the two guests.
Ha Chilie looked around in shock. He had intended to mediate between them, but Dragon King was silent, and swallowed his words.
Gu Shenwei still couldn’t tell what was the problem exactly, but he trusted Maid Lotus. So he held the sword hilt with the right hand, turning his body halfway, angled towards the guards behind Maid Lotus.
Among all the people, the most shocked and furious one was definitely the fat chief. He twisted his body to the right, flapping his short, fat arm up and down, trying to comfort the frightened female slaves. But his eyes stared straight at Maid Lotus,” What’s going on? What is the meaning of this? Ha Chilie, Dragon King, what’s wrong with this crazy woman? ”
“There is a crazy woman here, but it’s not me.”
Maid Lotus did not respond to the fat chief’s questions. All this time she had been staring at one person.
It was the fat chief’s youngest female slave. She looked around fifteen years old, youthful and petite, wearing a pitiful look. That look reminded Gu Shenwei of one of Xu Yanwei’s best tricks.
The little female slave was also the most timid. She hid behind the fat chief, only revealing half her bun.
The fat chief struggled to turn around and took a long time to recognize the female slave, ” Yan Er? What are you talking about? She is just a kid. Are you out of your mind? Dragon King, this is how you treat your friends, huh? Gulping Wind Gorge does not welcome your army. You should reconsider. ”
“A true friend would never watch you being deceived and do nothing.” Gu Shenwei stood resolutely beside Maid Lotus, “Let her come out first. If our suspicions do not hold water, you can be mad at us later. ”
The fat chief felt that he was being insulted and glanced at the dozens of guards at the entrance. The rumors of the Dragon King flashed through his mind. He looked at Ha Chilie, wondering if the son of his “old friend” had some secret agenda.
Ha Chilie coughed awkwardly, “Uncle, she is the imperial guard of Dragon King, highly skilled and with ill intention…” He still did not know the name of Maid Lotus.
Ha Chilie’s guarantee appeased the fat chief. He patted his right shoulder twice with his left hand, “Yan Er, come out, stand by my side. I am here, no one will dare to bully you.”
Yan Er seemed terrified. She was used to executing his every order immediately, but she hesitated for a while this time. Then she stood up, trembling, from behind her master and slowly moved to the right hand of the fat chief. She still bowed her head and did not dare to speak.
“If I am not mistaken, you were not born here, right?” Maid Lotus began asking, still holding the sword in her hand.
“Of course.” The fat chief replied for her, “My female slaves were all bought from outside. How could I let a local girl be a slave?”
“How long has she been here?”
Yan Er still did not dare to speak, so Maid Lotus turned to the fat chief for answers.
“How long?” The fat chief frowned and thought briefly. “Two…three or four years, how old was she when she came here?”
The last sentence was to directed at another female slave. The female slave whispered back. The fat chief nodded. “Twelve years old when she came here. Now she is fifteen. What’s the problem?”
“In the past three years, she has not changed at all. She has not grown tall, and her appearance now is exactly the same as before.” Instead of asking further questions, Maid Lotus described her precisely.
Gu Shenwei had already seen through the flaws of Yan Er, but he did not interrupt.
Ha Chilie knew that Maid Lotus was new here but he immediately believed her after hearing her description.
However, the fat chief thought differently. In his opinion, this female guard of the Dragon King was clearly aware of Yan Er’s situation. She had come here to make a disturbance on purpose. His wide face turned a dark red,” What’s the matter with her height? It’s quite normal. A lot of girls stop growing up at a young age. What do you want to say? ”
Maid Lotus looked down and seemed to be at a loss for words for a moment. Then she looked up and continued in an indifferent tone, “But she is like a mature woman in bed, or even maybe more proficient.”
These words were too much. A female slave’s life was entirely her masters, not to mention her body. But nobody would bring up this topic in the presence of the master.
The face of the fat chief finally turned thunderous. He kept slapped both hands on his thighs. “Get out! Get them all out! Dragon King, you and your army, don’t even think about walking through Gulping Wind Gorge. ”
The guards with spears marched forward and began forcing the unwelcome guests out of the cave.
Gu Shenwei pulled out the Five Peaks Saber, but after looking at Maid Lotus, he did not take any further action.
Maid Lotus gazed at Yan Er, and suddenly she moved back a few steps. She squeezed through two guards who were standing close to each other, and stood behind them.
The spears of the guards were very long, and they were standing close to each other, making it difficult for them to turn around. They all fell into disorder.
Maid Lotus held the sword in her right hand and used her left to gesture in the air. In an instant, the guards all fell to the ground, some foaming at the mouth, some twitching from head to toe.
The face of the fat chief turned from black to white. This woman was too strange. Maybe it was true that the Dragon King was indeed the reincarnation of the demon. Therefore, he softened his tone, “Ha Chilie, I have been treating your father and you very well … ”
Ha Chilie was stuck in between and did not know what to say. He could only look at Maid Lotus, hoping that she could provide some evidence on the spot. Otherwise, the longstanding friendship between Dongshan Mountain Tribe and Gulping Wind Gorge would end today.
Maid Lotus returned to her position and looked at Yan Er . “No one can protect you here. You know, I will not be merciful.”
Indeed, no one here could protect her. Even the fat chief who had spoke up for her shut his mouth. He had decided that he would not confront Dragon King and Maid Lotus.
He thought that Yan Er would pass out because of fear, or cry for mercy. But what happened next was completely unexpected.
The body of Yan Er was shaking more and more wildly. Judging from her back, she seemed to be shaking in fright. But then, they heard a sound like a viper’s hiss. The fat chief and the other female slaves realised that Yan Er was laughing wildly, contrasting sharply with her usual pure image and childish face.
“Until now, you still can’ let go of us.”
“Us? Who are you talking about?” The fat chief immediately ruled himself out, and he to began to doubt Yan Er.
Yan Er suddenly turned around, like a wolf standing erect, bending at the waist and said ferociously, “You disgusting fatty, shut your mouth. When you learn to clean up your own mess, you got the chance to talk again. ”
The fat chief was criticized by his female slave, the most timid and gentlest female slave to boo. He was so shocked that he did not even reprimand her.
Yan Er turned to the Dragon King and looked at him for a while, “Now, you’ve found your way back to your man. He still doesn’t know your true face, right?”
Maid Lotus had forced Yan Er to abandon her disguise, but her voice was still indifferent. “Our sect has decided to unite with the Great Snowmountain. He knows everything.”
Yan Er obviously did not believe Maid Lotus’ words, but she became more vigilant and her voice held a trace of fear, “I said that New Moon Hall would be destroyed in your hands, but the master wouldn’t believe me.”
That was enough. Yan Er had said the words ” New Moon Hall “, showing all her card. Maid Lotus did not intend to let her reveal more secrets.
The long sword flew.
Yan Er leaped up high and almost hit the top of the cave. This kung fu was something she had never shown her master.
Then she fell down onto the ground and could barely stand. Even though she had not fallen like the guards, the pain in her face was serious.
She had not been stabbed by the sword, just barely grazed by the point.
The Seven Circles and Seven Apertures Heart Stopping Finger required actual combat practise. For Shangguan Ru, this was an insurmountable hurdle. For Maid Lotus, it was a simple requirement.
It only required a little force to take down the opponent when using Heart Stopping Finger, especially for New Moon Hall disciples.
Yan Er couldn’t speak. She looked at the Maid Lotus, her body swaying, and then slowly turned around. Facing her unwitting master, she spat out a mouthful of blood.
The blood spurted out strongly, like a waterfall. The fat chief’s body was equivalent several people’s. His whole body was covered with blood, and even the several female slaves behind him were not spared.
Yan Er had been acting completely contrary to her usual self. The blood spurt was the last one. She fell on her back and kept bleeding from her mouth. It looked like she would not stop bleeding until she spat out all her blood.
There was complete silence. Then the other seven female slaves screamed again.
The fat chief also made a surprising action. He stood up, blood still dripping from his clothes; the first time in at least a decade.
But he immediately fell back onto the soft couch. Not even the strength of his will could support such a fat body. “Who is she? Who are you? What the heck is New Moon Hall?”
The fat chief threw the series of questions to Maid Lotus, a bit of awe in his tone.
“She is a traitor to our sect. I have been hunting her for a long time. As for other things, it is better not to know.”
At such a blunt answer, the fat chief nodded in agreement, but could not help but ask, “So, she is not fifteen?”
“No.”
“How…old is she?” The fat chief knew he would probably regret asking this question, but he had to ask, otherwise it would be like a fishbone getting stuck in his throat.
Maid Lotus probably took into consideration the feelings of the fat chief, pausing a while before saying, “As far as I know, when she defected, she was already forty years old.”
The fat chief could not hold back anymore, vomitting over his own body in front of the guests. The female slaves would have to suffer again.
“How is it possible? How is it possible? Why did she hide in here?” The fat chief asked after he hda stopped.
“You should ask the person who sent here.” Maid Lotus was pretty sure that she did not come over by herself.
“Golden Roc Fort. She was sent here by Golden Roc Fort.” The fat chief remembered that immediately.
