Chapter 607: Chapter 607: The Sentimental Young Lady (Second Update)


    The spacious hall was flickering with lights, bustling with excitement.


    As these demons feasted and made merry, the young girls could only tremble beside them, carefully pouring wine and serving dishes, not daring to show the slightest negligence.


    But even so, they could not escape their tragic fate.


    Smack.


    After a dull thud,


    the head of a girl was brutally smashed, her brains sttering over the table, her corpse copsing to the floor.


    The mountain demon who had acted was clearly drunk, slurring curses, “Damn it, I told you to strip, and you dilly-dally, acting all pure? Who gave you the right to act coy?”


    Seeing this, anger and sorrow filled the eyes of the other girls in the room.


    But the demons didn’t care at all and burst outughing instead.


    They even continued to drink and be merry, unconcerned about the brains sttered all over the table.


    Then, a demon of higher rank asked, “General, why bother negotiating with that wench today? Why not just grab her and have her serve the two of you? Why go through all the hassle?”


    “Indeed, that girl today was really something! Smooth and sleek, eating her must be very satisfying!” another demon chuckled and agreed.


    “What do you know? Didn’t you see Mu Qingwan’s eyes full of despair when I threatened her? Heh, that’s what makes it interesting!” She Tianughed.


    “Big brother is right. We brothers finally get a chance toe out. We have to have our fun before wey a hand on them, otherwise, wouldn’t we be at a loss?” She Mu said.


    Hearing this, all the demonsughed aloud and raised their cups in a toast.


    “The generals are absolutely right!”


    While these demons were carousing in a drunken haze,


    a ck carriage slowly came to a stop in front of the tavern.


    The house servant greeting guests approached listlessly.


    “Sorry, we are not receiving any guests in the tavern today…”


    He hadn’t finished speaking when he was struck speechless.


    Because the one driving the carriage was a stunning woman dressed in ck with ck hair.


    “Am I not wee either?” the woman said indifferently.


    The house servant trembled all over, having recognized the neer.


    “Mu… Miss Mu?”


    Mu Qingwan nodded slightly, then stepped off the carriage, looking up at the tavern that was no longer as noisy as before.


    The house servant stood respectfully to the side, not daring to speak, only stealing nces at Mu Qingwan.


    Today, Mu Qingwan was dressed in ck, her long hair pinned up, revealing her elegant neck. Her already delicate features appeared even more ethereal against the backdrop of the night.


    The house servant was almost spellbound.


    At that moment, Mu Qingwan asked softly, “Where are those demon soldiers?”


    “They… they’re all inside the hall.”


    Mu Qingwan nodded, turned around, and took a ck box from the carriage, then strode towards the tavern.


    The house servant watched foolishly until Mu Qingwan’s figure disappeared through the door, then suddenly realizing something, he dashed towards the courtyard next to the tavern.


    Mu Qingwan arrived at the outside of the hall.


    Listening to the rowdy noisesing from inside, Mu Qingwan was silent for a moment before pushing the door open and walking in.


    Her arrival brought sudden silence to the room.


    All the demons first looked shocked and then greed appeared on their faces.


    She Tian smirked sinisterly, “Very good! Mu Qingwan, it looks like you havee to your senses.”


    Mu Qingwan didn’t utter a word but walked straight in, ced the box she was carrying on the table, and slowly opened it.


    As the chest opened, the room seemed to be graced by a full moon, a pale glow enveloping everything, even the flickering candlelight dimmed by its reflection.


    All the demons revealed a look of contentment.


    “It’s the Moonlight Stone!”


    “And it’s the highest-grade Moonlight Crystal Stone!” eximed a demon excitedly.


    She Tian and She Mu, the two demon generals, however, remained unmoved, coldly watching Mu Qingwan.


    “What does this mean?”


    Taking a deep breath, Mu Qingwan sped her hands and said, “These Crystal Stones are what I have saved up over many years. If the two generals would be so gracious as to spare my life, these will all be yours!”


    The Moonlight Stone was precious because the power of the moon it contained was very beneficial to the cultivation of the Demon Race.


    And the power of the moon contained within these Moonlight Crystal Stones was even more formidable, making them extremely valuable.


    She Tian nced at the Crystal Stones and then at Mu Qingwan, chuckled, and said, “Sounds pretty good!”


    The younger one, She Mu, spoke in an eerily cold voice, “Unfortunately for you, we want both the Crystal Stones and your life today!”


    No sooner had the words left his lips than Mu Qingwan, who had been bowing with sped hands, suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with resolute fury.


    She hade prepared for the worst, so she wasn’t surprised by this turn of events.


    Thus, she instantly drew the long sword she had been concealing and thrust it at She Mu, who was closest to her.


    She Mu sneered, “Littledy, don’t you know that the more you resist, the more excited I get?”


    As he spoke, his scaly skin emerged, and he took Mu Qingwan’s sword strike head on.


    ng.


    After the sound of metal striking metal, Mu Qingwan’s long sword was violently knocked out of her hand.


    At that moment, She Tian spat out his snake-tongue, which instantly transformed into a huge rope, lunging straight for Mu Qingwan.


    If the snake-tongue were to bind her, Mu Qingwan would be trapped in a state where she could neither live nor die.


    Yet, faced with such a situation, Mu Qingwan instead showed a rxed expression, with a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth. Her left hand dropped down, catching a dagger that slipped from her sleeve, and she forcefully stabbed towards the Moonlight Crystal Stones on the table.


    Despite their great value, Moonlight Crystal Stones had a major w: if subjected to violent vibrations, the power of the moon within might spiral out of control, and the result would be…


    An explosion of terrifying power!


    All of this had been part of Mu Qingwan’s n from the start.


    If she could use these Moonlight Crystal Stones to bribe the demons, all the better.


    If not, then they would perish together.


    Either way, she couldn’t let these demons roam free.


    But just as the dagger in her hand was about to strike the Moonlight Crystal Stones,


    Mu Qingwan suddenly felt a tightening around her neck, and before she knew it, her feet left the ground, and she was hoisted into the air by She Mu, who had rushed forward at some point.


    “Thinking of dying together with us? Mu Qingwan, you’re delusional!” said She Mu with cold contempt.


    Mu Qingwan struggled violently, but She Mu’s grip was so strong that no matter how much she writhed, she couldn’t break free.


    Momentster, suffocation blurred her vision and, unexpectedly, her heart began to rx.


    If she died like this, it wouldn’t be so bad; at least she would avoid further dishonor.


    But She Mu seemed to see through her thoughts and with a cruel smirk said, “Do you think death will preserve your purity? We will have our fun with you! Hahaha!”


    Hearing She Mu’s triumphantughter, Mu Qingwan felt her heart sink deeper and deeper as if she were descending into Infernal Hell.


    She had tried her best, but facing a demon whose strength far exceeded her own, mere effort was not enough.


    Just as Mu Qingwan, due to suffocation, gradually stopped struggling, and her face began to show an ominous pallor of death,


    a girl sitting nearby suddenly stood up, picked up the boiling hotpot in front of her, and threw it at She Mu.
