Chapter 194 : The Hallmaster Wants to Get Married Off 10 (1/2)

The Sentinel exited the house and knocked this time before entering. He was greeted with the sight of his Hallmaster who’d been unbound by that barbaric woman. She’d even considerately covered him with a blanket.

Sentinel couldn’t help but look completely and utterly confused, “…”

‘I don’t really understand what the hell happened between Hallmaster and this… LADY.’

Bu Jingyun leaned powerlessly against the headboard of the bed. The Sentinel had never had a higher place in his heart as of right now.

“Capture her alive!” Bu Jingyun gave the Sentinel a ‘domineering’ order, resulting in Sentinel’s lips twitching. ‘Lord Hallmaster, can you not see the sword in her hand? She can kill you without much effort, you know?

And as for capturing her alive… why, may I ask, is it CAPTURING her?’

“Miss…” Sentinel took a deep breath as he inwardly warned himself to keep his cool. He couldn’t afford to provoke her while his Hallmaster was still in her grasp.

“If you have any demands, please state them. As long as you release our Hallmaster, everything’s negotiable.”

“Oh.” Shi Sheng kept her sword and shifted to the side a couple of paces. “Here, I’m returning him.”

Sentinel, “…” ‘That easy? She isn’t plotting something, is she?’

He carefully scanned his surroundings, but didn’t find anything that hinted at treachery.

The woman’s faint voice reached his ears, “I’ve already poisoned him anyways. He’ll die without my antidote, so if you’re not afraid of him croaking, by all means, take him back.”

The Sentinel quickly asked Bu Jingyun with his gaze, ‘Hallmaster, is she speaking the truth?’

Bu Jingyun turned his face away in a huff.

Sentinel, “…”

‘Hallmaster’s getting angry out of embarrassment? That means it’s true?!

Calm down!

Calm. Down.

Calm down your head!

Hallmaster’s been poisoned! This is such a disgrace! This woman must be killed!’

A dark yellow bolt of spirit energy shot out from the Sentinel’s palm as he seemed to shoot towards her. The powerful spirit energy pulses were like the waves in a sea threatening to overwhelm her, shattering the furniture on its way.

‘A peak-level Spirit Monarch? Sonovabitch, wasn’t taking on higher-level mobs the FL’s specialty? How come I(bbb) got this treatment too?’

“Stop!”

Right as Shi Sheng was about to use cheats and beat the Sentinel into a bloody pulp not even his parents would recognise, Bu Jingyun suddenly shouted.

The Sentinel was clearly quite loyal to Bu Jingyun for he immediately halted upon receiving the order. The spirit energy that was running amok vanished.

“Hallmaster?” Sentinel looked at Bu Jingyun uncomprehendingly. ‘Why doesn’t the Hallmaster allow me to kill this woman?’

“Seize her.” Bu Jingyun spoke tersely. ‘How could I allow this woman to die so easily after she dared to treat me that way?’

Suspicion surfaced in Shi Sheng’s heart. ‘How come this Sentinel doesn’t seem very worried about Bu Jingyun having been poisoned?

And Bu Jingyun doesn’t seem to mind all that much either…’

[Side Quest: Bu Jingyun’s Past. Quest has been auto-accepted.]

Shi Sheng, “…”

‘What’re you issuing a side quest at this time for? What’s wrong with you?!’

Shi Sheng wished she could slap System to death.

Sentinel and Bu Jingyun exchanged gazes, communicating via their eyes. She didn’t know what was said, but Sentinel agreed to capture Shi Sheng.

‘Well fuck me! See, I was right to keep this fellow!

Else I’d be the one being ‘kept’!’

Shi Sheng swiftly took out one of those little balls of destruction and hurled it at the Sentinel.

BANG!

The blast wasn’t as powerful as it had been before, but Shi Sheng took advantage of the distraction it provided to quickly get behind Bu Jingyun and grab him before escaping the scene.
