Chapter 181.1 Long Yu, You Know Only So Little (1/2)
North of Divine Dragon Island—The swarm of snakes were still gathered on the northern shore.
Meanwhile, Wang Ke and the Demon Sovereign stood on the Snake King’s head.
“Snake King, can’t you be steadier? Your head is shaking too much. Are you trying to make us fall?” Wang Ke reprimanded the Snake King under his feet.
“No, of course not. I would never dare! I hit a huge boulder just now, that’s why!” The Snake King chuckled apologetically.
“Humph, look at your attitude! My boss has taken the fact that you’ve been living here for a long time into consideration, and I am your guarantor; how else do you think you’re still alive?” Wang Ke said coldly.
“Thank you for your mercy, Demon Sovereign. I promise I’m not related to the rebels in any way!” the Snake King quickly explained himself.
“Humph, what’s the worth of your promises? Have you any idea about how widely rumors about you plundering the other demonic beasts’ dens have spread? Do you know how much pressure you’ve put on my shoulders? I took great pains in convincing the Demon Sovereign to come and take a look! Just what are you trying to do? Snake King! Aren’t you giving everyone a reason to think you’re working with the rebels?” Wang Ke chided the serpent.
The Snake King: “…….!”
I merely wanted to gather some treasures for my own benefit! Don’t you do the same?
“Boss, please wait for a short while. Let me give the Snake King some instructions so that he causes you less trouble!” Wang Ke said courteously.
The Demon Sovereign nodded, then looked toward Divine Dragon Island. Meanwhile, Wang Ke brought the Snake King aside.
“I inspected your hideout today. There were a few contraband items, so I confiscated them on behalf of my boss! If you’re unhappy about it, come and find me later!” Wang Ke said.
“Contraband items?” The Snake King was in a daze.
“Why? Are you trying to argue? It took me so much effort to convince my boss and clear you of any guilt on the matter! Do you want to explain things to my boss on your own?” Wang Ke shot the snake a stare.
The Snake King’s face froze. “No, no. There’s no need; just let it be!”
“And another thing: stay low! You went around robbing others, and everyone heard about it. Can’t you move on your own and do it in secret? Do you know how many out there are jealous of you? Do you know how many accusations about your actions have been sent to my boss? Had I not realized it in time and asked my boss to come personally to interrogate you, it wouldn’t have been us but a bunch of demonic disciples instead. By then, not just the possessions you plundered, even you and your snake babies would be overthrown in one go!” said Wang Ke with a stare.
The Snake King was shocked. I… Everyone knows about it?
“Okay, okay, understood. Wang Ke, I owe you a big one this time!” The Snake King sighed.
“Humph. You better stay low; don’t go fooling around. Calm down before you do anything. Don’t be led by your impulses! I can’t always protect you!” Wang Ke said, patting the snake’s head.
The Snake King: “…….!”
Damn it. I really want to chomp this bastard to pieces! But I really do owe him this time.
Wang Ke continued with a stare, “Also, my boss came personally to investigate you. Don’t feign ignorance; you must be respectful and courteous. Better bring your snake babies to send us off by the seashore when me and my boss leave. Make sure they are orderly! And you must wait until an hour after we leave before going back to doing your own things! Understand?” Wang Ke said with a stare.
The Snake King: “…….!”
“Do you really think only my boss and I are here? Do you know how many eyes are watching us right now? If you have even a tinge of disrespect and grumble against my boss, those eyes will turn whatever you say into complaints and accusations against you in my boss’ hands. You understand?” Wang Ke said with a stare.
The Snake King’s face twitched. “Yes, understood! Thanks for letting me know!”
“Humph. You must learn to be more careful! Now go back!” Wang Ke sighed, then moved closer to where the Demon Sovereign was. The Snake King returned to the north shore and started organizing his snake underlings to send the Demon Sovereign off.
The latter turned around and looked at the distant shore. It felt so bizarre when she saw that all the snakes were sending her off respectfully.
“Okay, let’s descend the mountain quickly. We have an hour to reach Zhu Hongyi’s palace; we’ll be safe there!” Wang Ke explained.
The Demon Sovereign: “……………!”
And so, the two went down the mountain and the Snake King could no longer see them. Still, the serpent did as told and remained there, according to Wang Ke’s instructions. He also restrained his underlings to stay in position for an hour.
Wang Ke found a place by the foot of the mountain. Long Yu then took off her mask and black robe, revealing her white dress and straight hair, glowing in beauty.
Wang Ke went forward and princess-carried Long Yu before sprinting off.
“What are you doing?” Long Yu cried out in surprise.
“Time is short, and you’re too slow. We can get away faster this way!” Wang Ke explained. Long Yu frowned a little but didn’t object.
“Oh yeah, this is the two-tenths cut I promised you!” Wang Ke gave Long Yu a storage bangle.
“This is…?” Long Yu was stunned.
“Didn’t we have an agreement? Whatever treasures were inside the snake den, you would get two-tenths. Your act was on point today! You deserve it! Although I’m frugal, I will never delay my worker’s pay!” Wang Ke explained.
Long Yu was perplexed; it was her first time getting a salary. Why does it feel so strange?
“Lying? Why can’t I lie to the Snake King? The guy is inhumane! Damn, didn’t you hear he wanted to kill me and tear me into ten thousand pieces? He wants me dead! What’s wrong with me taking some of his money?” Wang Ke rebutted with a stare.
Long Yu: “…………!”
