Chapter 414: Caught!

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

No matter what the five city lords thought, at least they had already made concessions on the surface and were willing to follow Shuang Yun’s arrangements.

The spies sent by the Golden Crystal City returned with the news.

The spies said that there would be a small raid by the demon army soon.

Shuang Yun immediately ordered people to build fortifications by the Black River. In order to strengthen their stability, he specially asked Huanhuan for some Little Pink.

After applying Little Pink, all the fortifications turned a uniform pink color.

From afar, it looked very feminine~

The next night, the demon army launched a sneak attack!

A small team of about 20 demons sneaked across the river.

Yesterday, the generals of the demon race heard that many beasts had appeared on the other side of the river. It seemed that there was a big move. Hence, the witch doctor, Tao Wei, specially sent a team to investigate the enemy.

Unexpectedly, the news had long been leaked. The team of demons had just crossed the Black River when they were caught by the beasts lying in ambush in the darkness!

Shuang Yun ordered, “Capture them alive!”

The team of demons resisted desperately, but they still couldn’t break out of the encirclement. In order not to be captured, they made up their minds and opened their mouths to swallow the black fruits they carried with them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After a few loud bangs, the few surviving demons actually self-destructed!

Flesh and blood splattered.

The beast soldiers who were closer were sent flying and fell to the ground. It was unknown if they were dead or alive.

Seeing the mess of flesh and blood on the ground, Shuang Yun and the other five city lords had extremely ugly expressions.

They had received the news in advance and specially set up layers of ambushes. In the end, they couldn’t even capture a single demon alive!

Shuang Yun got someone to carry the injured beast soldiers into the tent and hand them over to the witch doctors to treat.

The city lord of Blue Crystal City frowned and said, “What was that black fruit they just ate? It’s so powerful.”

The other four city lords all shook their heads and said that they did not know.

Shuang Yun asked someone to invite He Guang over to ask what the black fruit was.

He Guang said, “That fruit is called a demon seed. Every demon beast carries a demon seed. Once they’re surrounded by enemies, they’ll swallow the demon seed and detonate their bodies in order not to become prisoners.”

Everyone was shocked by the ferocity of the demons.

The demons would rather die than live as prisoners.

Shuang Yun didn’t know if he should admire their fearlessness or scold them for being stupid. He frowned and said, “I’ve fought the other demons a few times in the past. Why haven’t I seen them use such things?”

He Guang had fought many battles with the demons and witnessed the effects of this black fruit. He even specially sent someone to investigate it, so he knew more than the average person.

“The demon seed is the latest fruit cultivated by the demon race. It’s the latest masterpiece of the witch doctor, Tao Wei. It’s normal that you haven’t seen it before.”

Shuang Yun said, “Witch Doctor Tao Wei?”

Speaking of this man, He Guang’s expression was grim. “He’s the most powerful witch doctor in the demon race. He never shows his face on the battlefield, but he makes things that make our beast soldiers suffer. He’s a very difficult guy.”

Shuang Yun had never seen Tao Wei before, so he didn’t know how powerful he was. However, Shuang Yun was confident that Huanhuan was the most powerful witch doctor.

Even Tao Wei was definitely not as good as Huanhuan!

The city lord of Blue Crystal City thought for a moment and said, “Since witch doctors are involved, why don’t we each send a few witch doctors to stay in the camp in case of emergencies?”

This idea was unanimously agreed upon by the other four city lords. Only Shuang Yun hesitated.

The camp was the frontline of the battlefield. There was a possibility of war here at any time. This place was extremely dangerous.

He didn’t want Huanhuan to be in danger.

He Guang understood his worries and suggested, “You can go back and discuss it with your family. See what they say about it.”

Shuang Yun replied, “Yes.”

…

When they returned home, Shuang Yun asked the children to go to bed after dinner and called the adults to the living room for a meeting.

He bluntly told them about the matter regarding the witch doctors.

After Huanhuan finished listening, she agreed readily. “Sure, I’ll go to the camp with you tomorrow to help.”

Shuang Yun frowned. “There are too many people in the camp. I’m afraid you…”

“What are you afraid of? That I’ll be bullied?” Huanhuan’s smile was very bright. “I have Little Lotus, Little Green, and Choir. With them, ordinary beasts can’t hurt me. And I still have you, right? You’ll definitely protect me, right?”

Under her watery gaze, the last doubts in Shuang Yun’s heart completely disappeared. He immediately gave an affirmative answer. “Of course, I’ll definitely protect you well!”

“Then it’s settled. I’ll go to the camp tomorrow.”

Bai Di looked at her helplessly. “You just can’t stay at home, huh? You always insist on going out and finding something to do.”

Huanhuan smiled slyly. “You guys work so hard every day. I want to help too!”

Bai Di was helpless. He said to Xue Ling, “Stay at home tomorrow and take care of the children. I’ll accompany Huanhuan to the camp so that she won’t run around and disappear again.”

Xue Ling smiled faintly. “Why don’t I accompany Huanhuan to the camp?”

Bai Di said calmly, “You’re even crazier than Huanhuan. I don’t trust you with her.”

“I’m the strongest among the four of us. It should be safest for me to accompany Huanhuan and protect her. Besides, Big White and Little White are your children. It’s only right for you to stay at home and take care of them.”

“From the looks of it, you refuse to stay at home?”

“I prefer being with Huanhuan than taking care of the children at home.”

…

The two beasts’ tone was very calm, but Huanhuan and Shuang Yun could smell the gunpowder.

Huanhuan put down her bowl and chopsticks, saying word by word, “I’ll leave with Shuang Yun tomorrow. Bai Di and Xue Ling will stay at home. You two can go and do your own things. I can take care of myself. I don’t need you to watch over me all the time.”

Bai Di frowned. “No, I’m worried about you.”

Xue Ling reached out and stroked Huanhuan’s chin. “There are so many hot-blooded male beasts in the camp. What if someone takes you away and eats you? You only have so little meat on you. You’re not even enough for the four of us to eat our fill. No one can snatch our food again.”

Huanhuan slapped his claws away and said seriously, “I’m the head of the family. You have to listen to me. Alright, today’s family meeting is over. Dismissed. Everyone, wash up and go to sleep!”

Neither Bai Di nor Xue Ling moved.

Huanhuan placed her hands on her hips. “If you’re not obedient, don’t come into my room ever again!”

With that, she walked her way upstairs.

Shuang Yun immediately followed and picked her up from behind. “It’s fine if they’re disobedient. I’ll definitely listen to you. Let’s sleep together tonight!”
