Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off

Chapter 104: Chapter 104: If Not Him, Then Others?

In fact, after poisoning the chameleon, she had considered coming back to poison this man in black using the same method.

She hadn’t been sure if her poison, Death’s Grasp, could quickly kill a Beastman with High level Spiritual Power, but after testing it on the chameleon, she felt confident.

As long as she could get close and sprinkle it accurately, these people with High level Spiritual Power would still die after inhaling it, though not instantly like others.

But as long as they weren’t given the chance to use their spiritual power to force out the poison, it could still be fatal within a few breaths.

So, she had thought about coming back, using herself as bait to fall into the man in black’s hands and save Huang Ziyue.

However, in that moment just now, she had lost her confidence.

When she was being held in his hand, she could clearly feel that she couldn’t get Death’s Grasp anywhere near his mouth or nose.

He had a spiritual power barrier around his body, making it difficult for him to inhale it for an instant, fatal blow.

Even if he did inhale it, someone this powerful could immediately use their spiritual power to force the poison out.

That’s why, when he was choking her, she found a high-voltage Electric Shock Stick in her storage space. She had bought it for camping in the wild, specifically for incapacitating large beasts.

’Sure enough, no fancy move could ever beat a good old-fashioned cheat!’

’Even a god would be left convulsing by this Electric Shock Stick, unless they were made of plastic!’

Shen Yue’s thoughts shifted, and she casually tossed a coil of iron wire to Gu Fangqi.

”Use this to tie him up.”

Gu Fangqi took a moment to recover from his shock.

As he looked at what she’d tossed him, his brow furrowed in exasperation.

”You certainly don’t stand on ceremony with this emperor.”

’She’s ordering me around like a servant!’

’Then again, what is this stuff? It doesn’t look like rope!’

Shen Yue said, ”Just consider it a favor I owe you.”

...

The man in black never expected to wake up and find himself tightly bound by Shen Yue in a puddle of water.

His entire body was submerged, tied with a type of rope he had never seen before. It had no give at all and cut painfully into his skin.

There was also a rag stuffed in his mouth.

Most importantly, his face mask and clothes had been stripped off, leaving him in nothing but his underwear.

He looked as if he had been beaten and robbed.

He looked around the puddle and saw it was enclosed by a cage of thin wooden bars, with a length of the same silver rope that bound him wrapped around the top.

’I can’t believe it. Have I been imprisoned in this cage?’

He instinctively tried to gather his spiritual power to break the bonds. But as soon as he started to gather his strength...

The long rod leaning against the edge of the water began to CRACKLE with electricity as if it sensed him.

The next second, he began to convulse in the water...

...sending splashes high into the air.

Then he fell stiffly back into the water.

The feeling of total paralysis shocked him. ’I can’t summon my spiritual power?’

’What’s going on?’

Just as Shen Yue walked in, she saw the man shocked into a rigid state.

She tossed the chameleon’s corpse she was holding in front of him.

The man’s eyes widened as he stared at the very dead chameleon.

Shen Yue yanked the rag out of his mouth.

”Didn’t expect this, did you? You’ve fallen right into my hands!”

The man glared at her fiercely.

Shen Yue ignored his glare and sat down on a chair that had been prepared nearby.

”Let’s talk. Who are you? What’s your name, where are you from, and why do you want to kill me and my children?”

After stripping his clothes off, she was surprised to find that the man had no features of the Beast Clan.

He didn’t have the characteristic ears of a Beastman on his head, nor did he have the aura of one. His fingers and toes were of normal length.

It was as if he had completely evolved into a human.

The man stared at her without a word, his purple eyes radiating a biting chill.

If he weren’t currently paralyzed from the electric shock, with a broken arm, looking as wretched as one could possibly be, Shen Yue might have actually been intimidated by his gaze.

Seeing he had no intention of speaking, Shen Yue squatted down, in no hurry.

She simply placed her hand on the switch of the Electric Shock Stick and increased the power.

Then, she pressed it right in front of him.

Instantly, CRACKLE, SIZZLE...

The man convulsed in the water, his hair standing on end...

Shen Yue looked at his pale face.

”How’s that? Feel good?”

Her words were soft and gentle, but they made him want to grind his teeth in hatred.

The man’s body was shocked to the point he nearly lost control of his bowels, so much pain that sweat and a faint wisp of smoke rose from his forehead...

He stared at her with hate-filled eyes.

Shen Yue kept her hand on the switch, the corner of her mouth curling into a slight smile.

”If you don’t want to talk, I won’t force you. Since you were so determined to kill me, I won’t be showing you any mercy.”

”This pit and this wire mesh... I spent a whole day building this water prison just for you. Don’t worry, in here, you’re completely helpless. Not only can you not use your spiritual power, but you’ll also be tortured at regular intervals.”

The man’s cold eyes stared fixedly at her, revealing a venomous malice.

Her magnificent, freshly-washed face was reflected in his eyes, and his gaze was like a promise to kill her by a thousand cuts.

As she spoke, Shen Yue stood up.

”So, just enjoy your time in here!”

With that, she kicked the chameleon on the ground right in front of him.

She added in a tone designed to be infuriating:

”This was your subordinate, right? So disgustingly ugly, no wonder it had to disguise itself as someone else to trick people! Too bad, this young lady didn’t fall for it. Aren’t you just furious?”

After saying her piece, she didn’t spare him another glance and turned to walk out.

Behind her, the man stared at her retreating back, so angry that the metallic taste of blood filled his throat.

He let out a cold laugh and spoke:

”Of course. You’re still you. You haven’t changed a bit.”

Shen Yue stopped in her tracks.

’He’s finally talking!’

’But what does he mean by that?’

The man’s voice showed no sign of the dejection of a prisoner; instead, it grew more and more excited:

”I was such a fool. All these years, and I never saw through your act. I was completely deceived by you!”

”You really are a good actress. I truly underestimated you!”

With her back still to him, a chill came over Shen Yue’s eyes.

She had once again confirmed her suspicions.

’The original owner really was putting on an act.’

Her expression unchanging, she continued to provoke him.

”It’s good that you know you’re a fool!”

”You!!”

The man glared at her back, saying viciously through his anger:

”You think you can get away with these petty tricks? If it’s not me, it’ll be someone else. If not them, there will be even more. If I don’t kill you, someone will. You should know, your children won’t live for long!”

Shen Yue clenched her fists tightly.

’If not him, then someone else?’

’Original owner.’

’What kind of trouble did you get into?!’

Hearing him declare so decisively that her children wouldn’t live long sent waves of cold through her heart.

That was the one thing she feared hearing the most.

’These seven children are mine now. Who are they to say they won’t live long?’

’Who do they think they are?’

’I, Shen Yue, am not one to resign myself to fate!’

No matter what the original owner did or who she offended, now that she had inherited this body and was called ”female mother” by these seven children, she would be their female mother for life.

She would protect them with everything she had, even if it meant giving her life.

She took a deep breath.

She spun around abruptly, a slow, fearless smile spreading across her lips.

”Is that so? Then by all means, let them try. We’ll see who’s left standing in the end!”
