Chapter 567 “The Avoided Huang Xiao Ying (6)”

Bai Yan’s face was black as she’s ever had it, My son… can you not take it for granted when asking for a gift from someone else? That’s not a good habit to have!

“Let me think about it,” Suzaku rubs her chin like she’s thinking. Suddenly, her eyes sparkled with delight: “I remember now. About a hundred years ago, there was a bastard who dared to trespass into the Demon Mountain in order to steal. I caught him and beat him good, and… I knabbed his storage bag as punishment.”

“But Sister Suzaku, who is so bold that they would come steal from the Demon Mountain?” Looking up in curiosity, Bai Xiachen really wanted to know.

Giving pause, the glamorous woman instead gazed down at the baby tiger: “I think it was a member of the tiger clan, whatever Huang Che Mu. If not for him being related to White Tiger, I wouldn’t have let him go!”

Huang Che Mu, tiger clan?

Little Rice’s eyes widened: “Isn’t that Huang Xiao Ying’s father? He actually has the courage to steal from the Demon Mountain!”

Talk about being the apple not falling far from the tree! I bet the girl’s habit of stealing is also inherited from her old man.

“He seems to have a daughter named Huang Xiao Ying too. When I caught him, he kneeled and begged for mercy, claiming there’s a little tiger cub waiting for him back at home and needs to be fed. It was during that moment where he told me the girl’s name. Out of pity, I let him go.”

That’s right, Huang Che Mu was the only one who ever trespassed into the Demon Mountain and managed to return alive in all these centuries. Therefore, after his clan became aware of this fact, he was then immediately taken as the chief and the rest was history.

“That means Huang Xiao Ying… is already over a century old?” All stiff in his demeanor, Little Rice had all his fur raised like a ball.

If it is based on the age of human beings, this Huang Xiao Ying is already an old lady, and I’m only a baby tiger of five!

“Misstress~” in his panic, the little fella promptly jumped into Bai Yan’s embrace. Making a pitiful face: “You mustn’t contract that Huang Xiao Ying, otherwise…. I will commit suicide in front of you, whoo-ooh.”

Being the understanding and considerate adult that she was, Bai Yan didn’t have the heart to point out Demons are different in terms of counting one’s age. Turning back to Suzaku: “Where are you keeping your stashes, can I see?”

The treasures that’s collected by Suzaku cannot be anything ordinary….

“Okay,” Suzaku’s smile has reached up to her eyes at this point, “those things were originally for you anyways. Now that you are here, just take what belongs to you.”

“Why?”

“Because…” Stumping on that for a bit, her smile grew even deeper till its all that she could express: “I’m yours anyway so naturally my possessions are yours as well.”

Bai Yan definitely shuddered over that answer. That’s right, she’s shuddering at the thought of being the love target of another female. She’s just not into that sort of relationship so she couldn’t help but give the weird eye at the glamorous woman.

“Oh, uhh, Queen, don’t misunderstand me.” Suzaku then got all shy and fiddly with her fingers: “What I meant is… when you return with Azure Dragon and Black Turtle, you can then contract with me. It will greatly benefit you.”

In truth, if it wasn’t for the fact that she still couldn’t leave this Demon Mountain, this Vermillion Bird would’ve jumped at making the contract already.

With the misconception out of the way, it was time they went to the secret stash in question. Suzaku didn’t hide it far, only a short walk away, which gave Bai Yan ample time to sweep across the entire treasure trove.

As an alchemist, the medicine ingredients were the first to go naturally. However, there were many useful treasures as well that was outside of her field of expertise.

“This Soul Bracelet can trap a being’s soul into its confines. When done, even if they are your mortal enemy, they will still have to submit to your will!” Suzaku explains, proud of the fact that she’s got something that could please.

Putting the bracelet away after getting the details: “Not bad. I will go collect a powerful soul later and gift it to my grandfather from the Lan House.”
