108 This Is Not a Place You Can Come and Go As You Please
“I gave you a chance to regret it just now. This is not a place you can come and go as you please.” Huo Junhan’s low voice was especially obvious in the noisy crowd. Half of his face was hidden in the darkness, and no one could tell if he was happy or angry.
Shen Yaowei never dreamed that Huo Junhan would bring her to such a place in the middle of the night.
Clearly, it was too late to leave.
She pointed at the person below. “Did that person make a mistake? Ninth Imperial Uncle.”
“People die for wealth.” Huo Junhan took his arm from Shen Yaowei’s slender arm. “Little fool, put away your sympathy. He’s the most useless human in the world.”
Shen Yaowei looked at Huo Junhan’s cold handsome face. “But if there’s no empathy between humans, what’s the difference between them and beasts?”
Huo Junhan only smiled coldly and walked towards the stairs, which were not far away.
Shen Yaowei glanced in the direction of the arena again. The battle had reached the stage of cleaning up, and the bloody person was dragged down by two burly men. She did not know if he was alive or dead, but the bat demon beast was in a muscle-flexing posture, showing its strength to those who were cheering for it.
Sighing faintly, she raised her feet and followed Huo Junhan.
The pavilion was divided into three levels. The lower level was the arena, the second level was connected to the entrance, and the third level was a private seat.
The private seats were almost all filled. When Shen Yaowei and Huo Junhan arrived on the second floor, a scantily clad beauty welcomed them.
“Esteemed guest, please follow me,” the beauty said, winking at Huo Junhan.
Shen Yaowei glanced at Huo Junhan and could not help but smile. His eyes were still cold, and he did not even look at the beauty.
When they arrived at the private seat by the railing and sat down, Shen Yaowei couldn’t help but ask Huo Junhan, “Didn’t my Ninth Imperial Uncle want Yaoyao to help capture the evil spirit? Where’s the evil spirit?”
“There’s no hurry,” Huo Junhan said calmly.
Then, mermaids filed in and served delicacies and wine.
Shen Yaowei looked at the exquisite snacks and lost her appetite for the first time. She glanced at the arena again.
A man in black appeared in the arena and said with a smile, “Next is the highlight of tonight. We’ve welcomed a more unique challenger. Everyone can place their bets in advance.”
As the man in black finished speaking, most of the people in the audience and seats below raised the black flag beside their hands. The black flag represented that they wanted to bet all their chips on the bat demon beast.
A small number of people raised the red flag, indicating that they wanted to place their chips on the challenger who was about to appear.
Shen Yaowei stared fixedly at the black iron cell door on the arena. As the man in black went to open the cell door, a thin figure walked out.
The moment she saw the figure, Shen Yaowei held her breath.
It was actually a 12 or 13-year-old child.
Her clothes were tattered like a beggar’s. She was extremely thin and weak, and her eyes were timid and very pitiful.
The people who had placed all their chips on the red side instantly exploded.
“Where did this stinky beggar come from? Steward, are you playing with us?”
“How can this stinky beggar be a match for the bat demon! Damn, I’ve been tricked!”
“Let’s see how this stinky beggar dies!”
Some people couldn’t help but throw the remaining melon skin crumbs at the child.
The child flinched as he was hit in the head by the hard shell of the fruit. He looked around with wide, terrified eyes and trembling lips, as if he couldn’t understand why these people were treating him like this.
Shen Yaowei clenched her fists as she watched this scene. A flame seemed to be gradually burning in her heart.
