Chapter 417 No Bear For Dinner!
xin yan scoffed, realizing that the chief was trying to form a good bond between them, but his words sounded like she was forcing people to come with her in xin yan's mind. wu ping gleamed with happiness and bowed deeply to xin yan. "i will make sure to serve you to the best of my abilities."
"wait here, i will be back soon." xin yan nodded at wu ping. seeing the complicated look on her face, xin yan reassured her, "don't worry, i am not going to leave without you."
"i didn't... didn't mean to doubt you!" wu ping started panicking when xin yan saw through her thoughts with just a glance.
"no need to worry, i understand. i just have something to take care of, then i will take you with me." xin yan waved her hand. she took a step forward in the direction of the forest, and her figure disappeared without a trace.
"just how powerful is she..." chief vel muttered to himself in disbelief. to him, just like the rest, it appeared as if she simply vanished. stay tuned for updates on empire
then, as if remembering something, he turned to look in the direction of the young man beside xin yan's new maid. "hu zhen, how about you take the position of old man han?" with a crafty smile on his face, chief vel approached the young boy.
old man han was the same person who xin yan killed, and his position was to oversee the guards at the gate.
since hu zhen was not involved in the recent event, chief vel believed that giving him that position would make him look good in the mysterious expert's eyes.
"i..." hu zhen was at a loss for words because of the sudden proposal. from the corner of his eyes, he glanced at wu ping.
if it was before, he would have killed to get this opportunity. but now... seeing her silently doting on her sleeping son, he started to feel that he did not want that lowly position now.
to make a choice with someone's life was not something he could do, and if he failed to make a good decision, it might cost the lives of many people.
"i need to think about it." with an apologetic expression on his face, he looked at chief vel and asked for some time.
the bald man sighed with an understanding look on his face but silently cursed in his heart for missing such an opportunity.
"chief, should we leave?" one of the guards came forward and whispered in his ear.
while she was muttering to herself, the beast kicked off all of its feet on the ground and jumped on xin yan, trying to smash her under its weight.
"you just have to jump to your death, don't you?" xin yan clicked her tongue and raised her head before pushing her feet against the ground.
*clang!*
"hmm, these legs are not just for show, are they?" xin yan swung her sword slow enough for the beast to counter one of its spider legs.
but even when she was holding her strength back, the sword passed through the exterior of the leg and even reached the bone.
"rawwwr-kek!!" enraged by xin yan's provocation, the spider bear used its legs to prevent xin yan from backing away. at the same time, its body started to change.
its body started to wriggle and deform. soon, an exoskeleton in the shape of ribs and bones appeared on the bear, forming a protective cage for its body.
*hisss!*
its mouth started to spread before it sprayed a mouthful of venom at xin yan.
the beast's eyes widened when its prey vanished from its grasp.
"i was thinking of making noah a lovely stew for dinner using your meat... but there is no way i am going to make him eat something as disgusting as you!" hearing the voice coming from its back, the beast froze before the light in its eyes started to fade away.
*thud!*
when the huge body of the beast fell to the ground, xin yan stored it away in a new storage ring she brought out from the one she was wearing.
"looks like i need to take something else home for dinner." with a new mission on her mind, xin yan skipped away into the depths of the forest.
