Is that a Wisp?

Chapter 1210: Danger!

"Hahaha! Were you obedient today, Lian'er?" Krune was surprised for a moment before familiar words rolled out of his mouth. It was the Shi Jiang in him taking action.

"I was rewarded a bit by the second Young Miss today." Ming Lian, his youngest daughter, laughed, extricating herself from her hug.

"Lian, as a lady, you shouldn't jump around so much." A chiding voice resounded as another girl, similar in appearance to Ming Lian, appeared, bowing respectfully to Krune. "Father, you must have had a tiring day. I've prepared some hot water to wash your face."

"Xue'er, did the Eldest Young Miss treat you well today?" Krune asked in worry, immediately scanning over his eldest daughter, Ming Xue, to see if she had suffered from any injuries. Upon seeing that she hadn't suffered anything, he sighed in relief.

"No, she was pretty tame today," Ming Xue replied with a sigh. "She's only going on talking about the new guy that arrived at the Red Star Brothel House."

"Thank goodness." Krune nodded before saying, "No matter how much you have to lie there, just do it. Ensure that you are never the target of her vents."

He then turned towards Ming Lian before continuing, "The same goes for you as well. The two young ladies are fighting each other. So, you'll have to know that they would take advantage of your relationship as sisters to pry information out of your mouths."

"It's fine, Dad." Ming Lian laughed in response. "The Second Young Miss is too scheming that she doesn't need to get any information from me. She has a lot of channels."

"In any case, you can never be careless," Krune advised her. "If her information channels dry up, she'll turn to you as her last resort. So, always keep that in mind and continue to think up as many scenarios as you can in your head. Always devise plans that would allow you to survive."

"Fine!" Ming Lian pouted and ran off into her room.

Seeing Ming Xue still remaining in the same spot as before in a respectful posture, Krune sighed, patting her head as he asked, "How's your mother's health?"

"It has improved a little," Ming Xue replied, gritting her teeth. "Lian is taking too much of a risk to sneak in some ointment to hasten her treatment. The Second Young Miss is meticulous. Lian's digging herself a trap this way."

"You should rest now." Krune sighed as he gently hugged her. "No matter what happens, I'll ensure to protect our family."

Dismissing her to her room, he went towards the room of his mother, greeting her once to report everything that had happened during the day. After that, he returned to his room, watching the figure of his wife sleeping on the bed.

She had a mild fever, but the most glaring issue was the two lash marks on her face. Just the shock from the lash had sent her into such a state where she hadn't been able to even get up from bed for the past two weeks.

Upon seeing her state, rage filled Krune's mind, wishing to use the Cloud Whale and execute everyone within the Feng Family overnight. However, he stopped himself rationally.

He and his family were registered as servants in the Daxia Empire's registry. So, it meant that wherever they went, being servants was their only option. Their only other options were to pr?st?tut? themselves or work in the mines.

His wife and daughters were quite beautiful. So, all he would be doing next would be causing misery to his family. That's why he controlled his anger.

Suddenly, a gentle hand grabbed his hand as a weak voice resounded, "Don't…everything you have endured until now would have been for naught."

"You shouldn't strain yourself." Krune hurriedly stopped his wife from getting up, gently patting her head as he watched her fall back into a slumber immediately. It seemed she had woken up after sensing his killing intent, something all servants were s?ns?t?v? against after being used to the atmosphere of the place.

He didn't stay up after that, falling asleep immediately. As a servant, he had duties to accompany Feng Bolin from the moment he was awake until he fell asleep. So, that also meant he didn't have much time to be with his family. Moreover, he slept for less time than Feng Bolin.

It was an exhausting and stressful job. But at least, as long as he endured everything, his family could survive. This was the last thought in his mind before falling asleep.

It was late into the night as a figure staggered through the estate of the Feng Family, fairly drunk. He had large, broad shoulders, hulking muscles and wide facial features. Holding a liquor bottle in his hand, he walked through the estate, taking in the fresh air of the night.

He wasn't tipsy, still maintaining enough clarity of mind to know what he was doing. However, his pace wasn't the best. As he passed along, the patrolling guards saluted him before hurrying off from his line of sight.

They didn't wish to be executed.

He was the second son of Feng Bolin, Feng Hu, a lecherous man that had his way with any woman that caught his fancy. At the slightest irritation, he ordered for the execution of people. He was a typical tyrant, someone dreaded a lot in the Feng Family estate.

Even some of the distant bloodlines of the Feng Family didn't wish to deal with him. After all, even though he was brash, he was also a cunning character that was also unrivaled in fighting in their entire city.

As his prospects were high, Feng Bolin turned a blind eye to his misdeeds. And now, occasionally drinking, he smirked, looking at the mysterious ring that he had obtained through the black market. 'I never imagined such a fabulous treasure existed. With such a treasure, not to mention the mere Feng Family, even noble families won't be able to do anything to me.'

He laughed, noticing that he had arrived before the servant quarters. Just as he was about to turn around and return to his home, his footsteps suddenly halted as he looked at his pants, noticing his dragon rising up from within.

After a moment of thought, he grinned, muttering to himself, "Right, Shi Jiang's two daughters are really pretty despite being servants. And best of all, they're pure. Eating them both tonight would be fun."

He then patted his pants after that. "Be a bit more patient.. We'll be having a feast soon enough."
