Chapter 368 – Otherfolk and Other Abilities (1/2)
Li Qingshan found Ye Liusu to be rather admirable. With how reinforcements came flooding over to support her, it only demonstrated her control over this territory. That dimwit Milliped would have never been able to match her.
Daemons that Li Qingshan found extremely familiar appeared at the entrances one by one, shuffling in the shadows. There was also a group of Night Roaming folk guards, composed of both males and females. Their facial features were all delicate. They wore simple armour, wielding bows and arrows and spears.
“Leader?” The daemons all gasped in surprise. Although Li Qingshan’s appearance had changed drastically, they could still recognise him with a single glance through his special characteristics.
“King Ye Liusu!” The guards glared at Li Qingshan; they fully drew their bows and raised their spears high. They awaited Ye Liusu’s orders.
Ye Liusu did not ease up at all. If he were a regular Daemon General, then she might have been able to control and weaken him with an advantage in numbers, but the one before her right now was clearly not a regular Daemon General. If they interfered, it would only lead to unnecessary losses instead.
She waved her dagger and ordered loudly, “Don’t interfere! This is our battle!”
The daemons immediately let out a sigh of relief. Who wanted to fight a Daemon General? Daemons were forbidden from killing one another, but it would be bad if he really became carried away.
“King!” The captain of the guards, Ye Liubo, was confused by this. Why did she have to fight the enemy alone?
She had already fully drawn her bow; the three nocked arrows shone with a dim light, directed right at Li Qingshan’s back. Clearly, they had been smeared with poison. From such a close range, even Daemon Generals would struggle to dodge a volley of arrows.
However, the “enemy” ended up turning around at this moment, ignoring her drawn bow and smiling at her. His handsome appearance and dazzling smile made her heart skip a beat, but she kept the bow drawn firmly. If it were the past, he could serve as outstanding company in bed, but they stood as enemies right now.
Li Qingshan studied the night roamers curiously. He felt slightly excited. This was not a sight he could just happen upon. It was just like the legends, where the majority of night roamers were beautiful in appearance. If one of these night roamer guards were brought outside, any one of them, they could be regarded as handsome or beautiful.
In particular, the “girl” in the lead had an exquisite face that seemed slightly similar to Ye Liusu. Her appearance stood out, only slightly worse than Ye Liusu’s. Especially when she drew her bow, the waves on her chest surged.
“Lower your weapons! This is an order!” Ye Liusu said coldly.
“Hmm? What’s this?” Ye Liubo suddenly saw Xiao An crouched in a corner. Because she gave off no aura at all, Ye Liubo had mistaken her to be something dead, except she clearly saw the skeleton move earlier. The skull turned towards her; roaring flames burned in the eye sockets.
“Vice leader!” The daemons were all taken aback again.
Ye Liubo pointed at Xiao An. “That’s a comrade of the enemy. We’ll deal with it. We’ll just let the king deal with the other one. Once we’re victorious, be sure to let our sisters have some fun too.” She glanced at Ye Liusu to check her reaction. The red-haired Daemon General was complete eye candy to her. Seeing how Ye Liusu had no objections, she beamed inside.
The guards of the Night Roaming folk answered loudly. In particular, the female guards all looked at Li Qingshan with shining eyes. Their gazes were like how bandits usually stared at a noble beauty they rarely came across, easily penetrating his robes.
It made Li Qingshan feel slightly unnatural. Suddenly, he remembered that Han Qiongzhi had once told him, “The Night Roaming folk have earned quite a bad name for themselves. They’re known to be promiscuous. Men and women sleep around freely. They have no concept of purity, unlike humans. In the past, there was a person who came across villages of Night Roaming folk after becoming lost. Because of his handsome appearance, many female night roamers fought over him, wanting him to stay in their homes overnight. When he returned eventually, he took great delight in talking about it.”
Li Qingshan even sighed back then. “Why did a place as great as that just vanish?” He ended up being viciously strangled by Han Qiongzhi, who continued, “It’s all just a misunderstanding of regular people, as night roamers practise matriarchy. Their women are not bound to any form of ethics at all. They toy around with men just like how human men toy around with women, as if it’s their natural right. If you like it, I’ll go find some toy boys for you to befriend too!”
Li Qingshan immediately became excited from this thought. Heaven does exist! He called out, “Even if you’re not victorious, I’ll still let you sisters have some fun!”
Ye Liubo broke into laughter. “This guy is pretty interesting. I just wonder how he does in bed. King, don’t hurt him, particularly below!” It led to a roar of laughter.
Li Qingshan turned back around and said to Ye Liusu, “Looks like your clansmen place great confidence in you!”
Ye Liusu said, “Aren’t you worried for your companion at all? Oh wait, I’ve forgotten. Since when did a concept like that exist among daemons?”
Li Qingshan said without even looking back, “Li’l South, don’t harm them.”
Xiao An gazed harmlessly at the night roamers who lunged over. Hearing “Li’l South”, she was taken aback, but she immediately understood what it meant. The two words “north moon” had come from the scholar wood tablet carved with “south An” in Xiao An’s possession. She obviously could not use her original name in a world of daemons.
Ye Liubo did not use any weapons. She directly tried to grab Xiao An. She did not take this tiny skeleton seriously at all. It did not seem like anything powerful no matter how she looked at it. At most, it was probably just a servant or puppet. She could not harm it either, or she would displease this “red-haired hunk”, and he would not end up trying in bed later.
