Chapter 1140: The Perilous Hasa Village
“Heh, Sister Jian, where are you leaving to?” Alluring Demon got up from her desk and asked as she went over to Yun Jian seeing that the latter was here.
“Somewhere fun,” Yun Jian answered with a smile and told her, “I’ve already warned Maide. If he dares come after Dime And Prime again, I’ll make sure to wipe his company out when I come back!”
Yun Jian’s expression was icy at the latter half of her sentence; she did not look like she was joking at all.
“Heh, as expected of Sister Jian—authoritative and domineering!” Alluring Demon could not help sighing.
She knew that following Yun Jian was the best thing she had done in her life.
Even though Yun Jian was only a young girl around 13 or 14 years old when Dime And Prime Company was just started, a tender age barely convincing enough to lead, Alluring Demon had nowhere to turn to—her father’s company had shut down with a load of debt.
Unable to return the money, those debt collectors who had gone to Alluring Demon’s home turned to lust after her. They were monsters! They even wanted to assault her right in front of her parents.
A willful soul, Alluring Demon was ready to bite her tongue and kill herself in despair. In spite of it, during her most hopeless moment but before those men could touch her, Yun Jian had appeared.
Alluring Demon thought that she would never be able to forget the scene her entire life.
Yun Jian who had been around 13-14 years old and still had that fading innocence of a child to her at that time felt like the grim reaper as she killed those men and stared at her icily before extending both her hands to her. What she said changed Alluring Demon’s life—”Are you willing to work with me?”
“We’re leaving. You should upkeep your office too, have some snacks prepared when I come over the next time.” Yun Jian patted her empty stomach and gestured Ya Dang and Lansu, breaking Alluring Demon’s reminiscence with it.
Watching Yun Jian leave the office, Alluring took a step forward and paused, deciding to stay still and watch the trio’s retreating backs instead.
“SG, I, Alluring Demon, am following you for the rest of my life!” Alluring Demon’s soft declaration rang after Yun Jian left the place.
With the last word spoken, the sentence echoed in the empty office until it fell back into silence.
…
Country A, a southern nation.
This was already Yun Jian’s second time here. Country A was relatively behind in its economy, so Yun Jian, Lan Su and Ya Dang were unable to find an accommodation nearby upon arrival.
Finally, they managed to find one in a slightly busier village.
Si Yi was not here yet, so the trio had to stay here and wait for some time until he did.
Country A was a poverty-stricken country and the inn Yun Jian, Lan Su and Ya Dang were staying at was already the most luxurious building in the village—a two-story house built from mud and straw. If there were a rain at night, it would definitely be leaking in the house.
Settling in, Yun Jian went downstairs to ask the inn owner’s daughter, a young lady in her twenties, about the distance of their journey to the catacomb from here. Even though she had been here once, Yun Jian had been anxious because Si Yi was in danger the last time, so she did not quite remember the way.
The daughter of the inn owner was named Elisha. She was a beautiful young woman who covered herself up, customary of Country A’s women who wore headscarves.
Yun Jian had just started asking when Elisha warned her kindly in Country A’s language, “Hasa Village here isn’t very safe at night. Many girls were abducted and assaulted in the middle of the night previously and were only sent back the next morning. Many tourists lost monetary belongings as well.”
“There had been a few homicide cases but no police officers were willing to get involved, so those criminals were never punished!”
“Do be very careful when you stay here at night.. There’s nowhere to report it if something happens to you!”
