Black Bellied Belle: Demon Lord, Bite the Bait Please

Ch. 81-90

He silently considered his current circumstances and then opened his mouth to ask: "If you are looking for my elder sister, shouldn't you go look for her in the Mu Manor? What is the meaning of pursuing me so relentlessly like this?"

[Could that demoness Mu Lai have somehow come to antagonize such a bunch of people in the past? With that tyrannical and aggressive character of hers who considered herself above everyone, she just very well might have come to have offended other people.]

The tall framed man then laughed softly and said: "Though the Carefree Valley and the Limitless Sect could be considered to share rather friendly relations, but since you are close to Young Miss Mu, she would naturally agree to it if you plead with her on our behalf. If we do it ourselves, I fear that if negotiations turn sour we would have to do it the hard way."

The man opened his mouth to explain patiently, his gentle and polite personality one that you would never expect to belong to a cruel and bloodthirsty killer.

Mu Chi's brows furrowed together. "What can she help the Carefree Valley with? Besides being a little more skilled in Medicine, there is nothing much else....."

He suddenly seemed to have realized something as his words trailed off, looking a little surprised.

"That's right. It's exactly because she is skilled in Medicine. One of our brothers was afflicted with a strange poison several months ago and he is now in a critical state. And throughout the entire lands, only the Mu Family will be able to save him if you will lend a hand." The man's voice was sincere. "If you are willing to help invite Young Miss Mu to step forward, the Carefree Valley's Assassination Temple will then owe you people a debt of benevolence. No matter what kind of request you might make of us, as long as you say it, it will be accomplished."

"Strange poison?" Mu Chi was taken aback before he said: "Since it's such a strange poison, then it must be rarely seen and hard to cure completely. Although my elder sister is the most proficient in Medicine within the Mu Family, I do not dare make any decisions I am not confident of on her behalf. If it turns out that she is unable to cure that person, wouldn't all of you then turn your anger onto her instead?"

"You can very well rest assured on that. Although we are all killers, but it does not mean we cannot discriminate between right from wrong."

"In that case, I will make a trip back to the Mu Family tomorrow and ask my elder sister's opinion on it." Mu Chi thought that he should at least tentatively agree to their requests first or they would not let the matter rest. Moreover, he might very well gain by having them owe him a favour although all this was just a plan made up out of convenience due to the current circumstances.

Hearing that, the man standing right across from him clasped his hand over his fist and said: "The condition of that brother of ours cannot afford to be delayed any further. Better go ask Young Miss Mu tonight instead!"

"....."

[About that, if he were to interrupt Mu Cai while she was sleeping, she would surely fly into a rage! But he had no other choice but to plunge headlong into it. She couldn't possible disregard the fact that his life was at risk here could she?]

That morning in the Eternal Peace Duke Manor, something big happened.

While Yan Su and the Duchess were having their breakfast, a servant maid suddenly came running in from outside, her clothes in a highly disheveled state. She fell heavily to her knees on the ground limply as she raised her tear streaked face up. "Your Highness, Duchess, please help your servant address her grievance!"

Mo Han Yan's expression suddenly stiffened and she then said in a highly displeased tone. "Impudent lowly servant! Who let you come in to disturb His Highness' meal! ?"
