Chapter 1603 “Di Cang’s Decision (4)”
And sure enough, the twitching mouth reaction from the master of the house told everyone what he was thinking inwardly. He indeed wanted to go back on that oath and kick Bai Yi Yi out as soon as these people are gone. Why should they give up their wealth to some unknown insignificant girl anyways? That’s ludicrous!
“Ten years from now, can we really be free?” The mortal eyed the demon king with skeptic light, making sure to keep watch for any signs of untruth about the deal.
If we couldn’t keep the wealth gathered through generations then I need to make sure we can at least be free afterwards. With our current ability, gathering more wouldn’t be an issue like this man says. Besides, most in the clan is already sick of the reclusive lifestyle of this place. Without the sacred beast watching over our heads, relocating to the big city would be a piece of cake. By then all of us can enjoy a lofty lifestyle in the big apple!
“Ten years is enough.”
Ten years is enough for Bai Yi Yi to grow. Her future must be forged using her own hands, no one can fight in her stead. If she still can’t secure the wealth I handed her then there’s nothing more to be done. A person that doesn’t strive to be better doesn’t deserve the best, that’s how life works.
The demon king doesn’t mind giving his sister-in-law a helping hand, but he’s not going to protect her forever. That’s not within his means nor wish to do so.
“However…. the properties of the Water Clan, whether it be wealth or power, you have no right to take any of it away afterwards. In the future the Water Clan’s name will also be changed to the Bai Clan.” Di Cang shoots the two a glance to see their reaction, “From what I’ve garnered, ama.s.sing new wealth in this world wouldn’t be hard for people like you, is it not? So, what do you choose? Submit, or….”
Once again, the master of the house was taken aback at being read like a open sheet of paper. He didn’t want the demon king to know his inner thoughts, but if things had come to this then he might as well come clean.
“Fine, we choose to submit.”
ZZzzz!
As soon as they agreed, the master and madam immediately felt a buzzing sound in their heads, causing them to clench up due to the painful ringing from a spiritual level. It’s the effect of the seal taking place on their feeble bodies.
“Do not try to double cross your oath, otherwise the seal on your soul will let you understand what it means to break it!” After dropping this sentence, Di Cang swings his figure around to head back to his quarter.
……
Bai Yan’s suspicion was spot on. Right after she came to this estate, those who are curious or want to flaunt themselves before her came in droves. However, none managed to get in due to that big golden retriever guarding the doorway. The pervy mutt growled at anyone whom he didn’t recognize as the ladies inside, hence forcing a standstill with no way in.
To be clear, Yellow was in no way a powerful dog or anything; heck, he’s below the norm in terms of fighting strength for his breed. The only reason the people didn’t trample over this mutt had much to do with the status this fella had – he’s Di Cang’s pet. Everyone knew how pampered Yellow was, that’s why none tried to cross him due to the owner behind his back.
