Chapter 765
by Moonlit_Scholar_CYang Kai had also heard a little about the Four Great Demon Generals before. These four people were the top powerhouses in the Demon Race, and each of them had earth-shattering abilities and powerful magic powers.
The four people were respectively stationed in the four plates of the southeast, northwest of the Demon Frontier, guarding the foundation of the Demon Frontier and ensuring the safety of this side of the world. Generally, there was no interaction between them. But for some reason, as the only female among the four, Shirley’s relationship with the other three Demon Generals didn’t seem to be very harmonious.
There are even rumors that even the Demon Venerable doesn’t like her very much.
So the place where she guards is a relatively desolate position. Whether it is the richness of the heaven and earth energy or the abundance of the earth’s materials, it is not as good as the other three.
Yang Kai can’t remember where he heard the rumor from, but now it seems that it may not be groundless.
Xueli’s city is a sand city, near the sand sea. It is indeed desolate enough, and her relationship with Gou Qiong is also not harmonious as rumored.
But since she can sit firmly in the position of Demon General, she has her unique skills and means. Such a woman cannot be underestimated, so Yang Kai dare not take the slightest carelessness here.
All day long in the palace, he is also honest and stable, and has no malicious intentions.
Gou Chi, however, didn’t know the danger and wanted to escape, but was caught red-handed before leaving the palace. He was hung up and severely beaten by the masters beside Xueli, and was on the verge of death, almost dying.
It took a full month of recuperation to show a little improvement.
Learning from the past mistakes, Yang Kai became even more cautious.
More than a month later, Yang Kai, who was meditating and cultivating in the room, suddenly heard a burst of footsteps outside. His expression froze slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes and stared at the door.
Moments later, the door was opened, and the strong Demon Race member who had delivered the letter to Gou Qiong before pushed the door and entered, shouting at Yang Kai, “Get out here, the adult wants to see you！”
Yang Kai stood up and walked out with him.
As the man walked, he turned his head and looked at Yang Kai, chuckling softly and constantly, as if he had encountered something very interesting. There was also a strange meaning in his eyes.
Yang Kai frowned, instinctively sensing something was wrong. But he didn’t open his mouth to ask because he knew that as a prisoner under supervision, even if he asked, he wouldn’t be able to find out anything. So he simply didn’t bother to look for trouble for himself.
Not long after, the man brought Yang Kai to a large palace.
In the front of the palace, there was a spacious chair. The seat was covered with a thick plush blanket, and the dark red color exuded grace and luxury. Shirley was leaning there, the charming and soft curves of her body fully exposed. She was supporting her fragrant cheek with her hand and closing her eyes to rest.
In the center of the palace, high-grade spices were burned, making the entire palace filled with a fragrant atmosphere.
An Ling’er was dressed as a maid and stood beside Shirley, looking restrained.
Seeing Yang Kai’s arrival, An Ling’er’s beautiful eyes lit up, and she quickly gave a concerned look. Yang Kai slowly shook his head, indicating that he was safe and sound.
Ever since being caught here, the two of them haven’t seen each other again. Yang Kai has been staying in his own room all the time, while An Ling’er has been taken by Shirley to be used as a servant. In the palace of this Sand City, there are only two humans, herself and Yang Kai. Naturally, An Ling’er places all her hopes on Yang Kai and is afraid that something will happen to him.
Now seeing that he is safe and sound, An Ling’er can’t help but quietly let out a sigh of relief and secretly smiles at Yang Kai, not daring to make the slightest sound.
Yang Kai looks around and finds that Gou Chi and another Demon Race person are also standing here. The expressions on their faces are filled with horror and dread, just like a mouse seeing a cat, shivering with fear.
My lord, everyone is here.” Shirley’s subordinate reports softly.”
Shirley slightly nods. Only then does she slowly open a pair of beautiful eyes like a dream and water, sweep a glance at the bottom, and slowly straighten her upper body, stretching.
With this action of hers, the short shirt on her upper body is pulled open, Youdaoplaceholder0 a flat and fair lower abdomen and a delicate navel, and the spring scenery is diffuse.
Except for Yang Kai who has been staring at her closely, no one dares to look at her.
Shirley’s sharp gaze immediately turns to Yang Kai. Like being burned, Yang Kai instantly feels that the skin on his face is a little painful, but his expression remains unchanged and he is as calm as usual.
Xueli didn’t seem to want to pursue this matter further. She slightly parted her vermilion lips and said indifferently, “Gou Qiong has replied.”
Gou Chi’s body trembled. He licked his dry lips, looked up at Xueli, and asked in a soft voice with a twitching face, “What’s his attitude？”
“Hehe… You’re his son and you fell into my hands. What attitude do you think he could have？ Well, your father has paid enough ransom to redeem you.”
Upon hearing this, Gou Chi’s expression changed, a mix of relief and terror.
The relief was that he could finally leave Xueli, and the terror was that he would inevitably be beaten severely when he got home. This contradictory mood was directly reflected on his face, making his expression especially wonderful.
“What about me？” Another Demon Race member asked in a low voice.
“You are also among those to be redeemed！” Xueli nodded slightly and smiled charmingly, looking at Yang Kai with great significance： “The same goes for you, and this human girl. Gou Qiong has redeemed all of you.”
An Ling’er was stunned for a moment, and a happy expression emerged between her brows.
On the contrary, upon hearing these words, both Gou Chi and that Demon Race member showed a surprised look. They looked at Yang Kai and then both lowered their heads, with complex expressions.
Yang Kai furrowed his brows. Instead of showing any joy, his expression turned even gloomier as he said in a deep voice, “Are you demons all so forthright and generous？”
“Hm？” Shirley raised her beautiful brows, looked at Yang Kai, and suddenly laughed. “Gou Qiong is not generous at all. This is just a one-time thing！”
“The ransom you asked for, it’s not a small amount, is it？” Yang Kai stared deeply. Even when facing one of the Four Demon Generals, he showed no fear or timidity. His expression was very calm.”
“Not much, but indeed quite a lot. Enough to make Gou Qiong angry for a while！” Shirley nodded with a smile and looked at Yang Kai with interest, rather impressed. In front of her, few people could be as calm and natural as Yang Kai. Even Gou Qiong’s son was timid. In contrast, Shirley suddenly felt that this human was quite interesting.”
At least he has a lot of courage and is better than many demons.”
Yang Kai nodded slightly and suddenly looked at Gou Chi again, asking, “Brother Gou Chi, this time it cost Senior Gou Qiong a lot. What do you have to say？”
“Ah?” Gou Chi was stunned for a moment, a little dares not look Yang Kai in the eye. His eyes flickered, and he stammered “I don’t have anything to say…”
As he spoke, his expression looked a little guilty.”
“Brother Gouchi really has nothing to say？” A cold smile played on the corner of Yang Kai’s mouth as he asked aggressively.
Gouchi slowly shook his head.
The Mozu beside him also lowered his head and said nothing.
In the main hall, An Ling’er looked at Yang Kai with a suspicious expression, not understanding why his attitude towards Gouchi had suddenly changed and seemed to have become a bit cold.
While Shirley and her subordinate were both smiling and watching the show with no intention of interrupting.
“Good！” Yang Kai grinned. “Then Brother Gouchi, let’s part ways here. Hehe, our friendship is really short-lived…”
This sentence made Gouchi even more ashamed and his face flushed red.
Yang Kai no longer paid attention to him and turned to look at Shirley, saying seriously： “Senior, if I say that I reject the ransom paid by Gou Qiong for me, will you kill me？”
“Oh？” Hearing this, a hint of approval and surprise flashed in Shirley’s beautiful eyes as she shouted in a low voice： “You reject？ You actually reject？”
“That’s right, I reject！”
“Giggle…” Shirley suddenly laughed, her body swaying charmingly and her soft breasts trembling.
Her subordinate also looked at Yang Kai with a smile, with a meaningful look in his eyes, as if he was an eye-opener.
A moment later, Shirley gradually restrained her smile and said softly, “Logically speaking, since you rejected Gou Qiong, it means I will have less gain. Naturally, I should kill you. If I have raised you for so long in vain, wouldn’t I suffer a loss？ However… the ransom that has come to me will not be allowed to be taken back by others, and you have also slapped Gou Qiong for me… I will spare your life.”
Yang Kai’s face turned dark, and his expression was gloomy and fierce.
What Shirley said was insidious. She directly pushed him to the opposite of Gou Qiong. Although this matter was just a small thing, for a big shot like Gou Qiong, it might be a matter of face. He kindly paid the ransom for Yang Kai, but was actually rejected decisively. If it spreads, it will only make the world laugh at Yang Kai for looking down on him.
As a Demon General, being looked down upon by a human, Gou Qiong will definitely be furious.
——Even though the truth is not like this！
“I will agree to your request!” Shirley’s expression became solemn, and she said in a deep voice waving her hand at Gou Chi and that Demon Race person: “You guys scram. If you don’t get out of the range covered by my Spiritual Sense within half a stick of incense, don’t blame me for being rude to you!
As soon as the words fell, Gou Chi and that Demon Race person immediately turned into a stream of light and disappeared from the palace without looking back. In the blink of an eye, they were already several hundred zhang away, and they exerted their full strength and quickly fled outside.
Shirley wasn’t kidding. Her spiritual sense was indeed locked onto Gou Chi and that Demon Race member the entire time. Once the time was up and if she could still sense them, she would truly kill without hesitation.
This is a woman as cruel as a snake and scorpion！
“You humans are truly very shrewd,” Shirley said in a strange tone. “However, since you rejected the ransom paid by Gou Qiong for you, then you must prove that you have the value to survive. My Sha City doesn’t support useless people！”
“As I expected, you won’t let me go！” Yang Kai pouted.
“Let you go？” Shirley sneered. “The humans who enter my Sha City have only one path to take, and that is death！ It’s just that you seem a bit different, and I don’t want to kill you for now. But don’t disappoint me, otherwise I will let you experience something even more painful than death.”
Saying this, she stood up as if to leave.
“Senior…” An Ling’er quickly called out, her beautiful eyes filled with a pleading look. “Can you give us a little time to talk？”
Shirley furrowed her brows but didn’t object. She left directly, seemingly giving her tacit consent.
