C1014 Covert Observation
However, as soon as Feng Yixiu entered the tenth castle, a huge black figure slowly appeared in the sky above the castle. It was Thousand Apparition Sea Monster.
Standing on top of the Thousand Apparition Sea Monster was Hu Jiu'er, who had a complicated expression on her face. She watched the spot where Feng Yixiu had disappeared in a daze, as if pondering over something.
While Feng Yixiu was looking for Hu Jiu'er, the Thousand Apparition Sea Monster had actually been following behind him the entire time. Lili saw his every move.
There were several times when she almost couldn't hold it in and charged forward, but she was suppressed by her own inner reasoning.
She could tell that Feng Yixiu was truly anxious. It was not because he lost the anger of the Azure Dragon Holy Orb, but because he was worried and anxious about her disappearance.
Feng Yixiu did not mention any Azure Dragon Holy Orb along the way, which showed that his concern was still for his safety.
However, the more anxious Feng Yixiu appeared, the more determined she became in her decision. No matter what, she had to obtain the Asura Heart and let Feng Yixiu stay by her side forever.
"Your Highness, I feel that this kid has fallen for you. Otherwise, why would he be so anxious? I think …" The Thousand Apparition Sea Monster slowly said.
If it wasn't for the fact that Hu Jiu'er had been suppressing him, he probably would have personally taken Feng Yixiu's heart out and given it to Hu Jiu'er.
This was because his performance already showed that there were some problems. Although it might be a misjudgement, Feng Yixiu's life was insignificant in his eyes.
As long as there was even the slightest chance of making Hu Jiu'er successfully become a Nine-tailed Sky Fox, he would not hesitate to try even if there was a thousandth of a chance!
After all, Asura bloody battle still carried a certain level of risk, and compared to seizing the Asura Heart and Feng Yixiu's heart, was there any difference in levels?
Hu Jiu'er frowned and said coldly: "He is only doing it for the Azure Dragon Holy Orb, or maybe he is just trying to get it back. You are overthinking it …"
In order to make the Thousand Apparition Sea Monster completely give up on killing Feng Yixiu, Hu Jiu'er could only explain it this way.
"Then we can give it a try. What if it really succeeds?" The Thousand Apparition Sea Monster insisted.
"Shut up, I've already said that it's useless for me to keep him here. If you dare to make a move on him while I'm not paying attention, be careful of my rudeness to you!" Hu Jiu'er shouted angrily as she threatened him without any trace of politeness.
Facing Hu Jiu'er's anger, the Thousand Apparition Sea Monster obediently lowered its head, and said with a trembling voice: "As you command … Your Majesty. "
"Let's go." Hu Jiu'er said coldly after standing on top of the tenth castle.
"Your Highness, where are we going now?" The Thousand Apparition Sea Monster asked doubtfully.
"Didn't you say that there is a way for me to enter the Asura Tower? It's time for you to show off." Hu Jiu'er said in a low voice.
"Your Highness, don't worry. I will definitely let you successfully enter the Asura Tower s to seize them."
With that, the Thousand Apparition Sea Monster's voice became ethereal again, but soon after, it disappeared in the air above Castle # 10, as if it had never appeared before.
Feng Yixiu returned to the tenth castle in a daze. He found that there were still two slaves waiting outside his room without resting.
They stood outside the door tottering about, eyes constantly fighting back and forth, looking like they would not be able to hold on any longer.
Feng Yixiu couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart when he saw the two of them. He walked over with a smile and said, "Didn't I tell you not to wait for me?"
Hearing this, both of them were stunned. Half of their sleepiness had disappeared. One of the women with fiery red hair responded, "Master, you're back. We were afraid you hadn't eaten for a few days, so we brought you some midnight snacks."
Feng Yixiu saw the two of them holding a plate in each hand and touching the lid of the plate lightly. He realized that the food was still warm.
It was already the wee hours of the morning. They must have heated up the food countless times to wait for him to come back. If he didn't eat it, he would have truly betrayed their good intentions.
"It has been hard on you all. I happen to be hungry..." Feng Yixiu pushed the door open with a smile and then walked to a table in the room.
The two of them carefully placed the plates on the table, then arranged the tableware neatly in front of Feng Yixiu.
Feng Yixiu looked at the two delicious delicacies in front of him and started to eat. His stomach that was already filled with Kongkong also started to growl.2
The two slaves who had their heads lowered at the side could not hold back their laughter. After realizing what had happened, they immediately kneeled to the ground.
"Master, we didn't intentionally laugh at you, please forgive us …" The red haired woman lowered her head to the ground and said while trembling.
Feng Yixiu looked confused. He didn't have any intention of blaming them, right?
"What are you doing? Who told you to kneel on the ground, get up!" Feng Yixiu said in a deep voice.
"I deserve to die, I shouldn't have made a sound when you were eating. You should punish me …" Another green-haired lady said with a trembling voice.
Feng Yixiu frowned. Seeing that the two of them were unwilling to get up, he could only stand up and help them up.
However, the two of them were still trembling from head to toe, and didn't dare to look Feng Yixiu in the eye. A long time of abuse has come to mean absolute obedience to the master of the slave.
"All of you, look up at me!" Feng Yixiu said with a serious expression.
"I don't dare …" The red-haired woman lowered her head.
"Are you all not going to listen to what I say?" Feng Yixiu snapped.
Only then did the two of them raise their heads and look into Feng Yixiu's eyes. However, they still avoided him with fear.
"Do I look that scary?" Feng Yixiu asked.
The two of them looked at each other, shook their heads at the same time and said almost in unison, "You're the best master we've ever seen!"
"I already told you, I won't let you call me 'Master'. Why didn't you listen?" Feng Yixiu was a bit angry.
"But we are only slaves. Slaves aren't qualified to call out the master's name." The red-haired woman said gently.
"If I say you can't, then you can't. How old are you two this year?" Feng Yixiu asked.
"I've just turned eighteen …" The red-haired woman answered in a daze.
"I'm seventeen this year." The green-haired woman replied.
"Then I'm just one year older than you. From now on, you can just call me brother." Feng Yixiu laughed loudly and asked again, "Oh right, what's your name?"
"Name? We slaves don't even have a name, so Master usually calls us by our code names … " The red-haired woman said softly.
"Without a name, how can a person not have a name? If you don't mind, how about I give you a name?" "Feng Yixiu said with a smile.
The two of them were stunned for a moment. They had never thought that they would one day have their own names. They did not even know their own surnames. For people like them, a name was too extravagant.
