Chapter 2: City Lord

[Without any identity information, the person's identity cannot be confirmed. ]

Although Lin Xiaocha did not need the system to confirm her target's identity, she still felt its operational capacity was lower than expected.

‘Slightly disappointing.’

Lin Xiaocha had only read that book briefly. She read the important plots but only skimmed through the characters’ descriptions. She had only remembered that the male protagonist was pure on the outside and blackened on the inside.

In the beginning, he had been a lofty and cold immortal. He was bright, righteous, and usually wearing fluttering, white clothes. In the later stages, he became the brutal and bloodthirsty king of demons.

...

Lin Xiaocha's thoughts were suddenly interrupted when the city that should have been silent suddenly rattled like a pan.

"The city lord is coming!"

The refugees pushed each other to wake each other up. They were so scared that they hugged each other and trembled all over.

"Go away!!!"

"You untouchables!!! Don't block the way of the City Lord!!!"

A loud whipping sound pierced through the air in the street. The sharp and harsh sound made the refugees tremble like frightened birds. The noise was even louder than before.

Behind the fierce guards, a carriage with a thin tent, almost as transparent as butterfly wings, approached slowly.

The sound of the whip frightened a child on the roadside and made her cry. Her mother hurriedly covered the child so as to not make noise.

If they woke up the sleeping City Lord, they could become the next meal of his spirit beast.

A man in a gorgeous purple robe was reclined in the carriage.

The crown on his head was one foot high, and the tail of his eyes was about to touch his temples. His face was half-sleepy, and the whole person looked soft and weird.

There was a huge black panther on the man’s left side and a bejeweled, beautiful concubine on his right.

The concubine brought grapes to his mouth.

He slowly opened his extremely narrow eyes and stretched his hand to the back of his concubine's head.

The concubine flushed and closed her eyes shyly.

Unexpectedly, he grabbed her hair and knocked her head against the carriage wall!

His pair of eyes looked at her viciously.

"Idiot! How many times should I have to say it?! Don't bother this City Lord when I sleep!"

*

At this time, Lin Xiaocha's retina showed an image that only she could see,

[Target identity confirmation: Dongling City Lord, Feng Ziying]

[Raiders reward: 500,000]

[Current Progress: 0%]

Feng Ziying, the lord of Dongling City, was arrogant and tyrannical. He regarded the people as mere grass.

He was the nephew of the Empress of Zhu Yun Country, a natural flatterer and chronic scammer.

He also had some history with the white lotus woman.

It seemed that he was Lin Xiaocha's first side mission.

At this time, the beautiful face of the concubine was pressed against the carriage wall by Feng Ziying, and she said in horror, "The City Lord is forgiving..."

The corner of the city ​​lord's mouth twitched savagely and then released the concubine's hair.

He waved his hand, and the guards stopped not far from Lin Xiaocha.

"This City Lord has made a peace treaty with the demon realm, and they will no longer cross the border to harass us." Feng Ziying announced leisurely with his long narrow eyes.

Such words came out of his mouth, but the refugees were not happy at all.

Sure enough, he said again, "However, we must sacrifice one person to the Demon King every fifteenth of the month."

As soon as the voice fell, the pupils of all the refugees shook.

One person?

Living sacrifice?

The fifteenth?

Isn't today the fifteenth?

"So... who wants to be the first person to sacrifice?"

As soon as he finished his words, the Dongling city fell so silent that only the crows in the treetops could be heard.

Fear enveloped the whole city.

System: [You must become the sacrifice in order to meet the male lead. 】

In the book, the person who was caught as a sacrifice was Lin Wu.

In the story, as soon as the City Lord finished talking, Lin Wu stood up and accused Feng Ziying in anger, "As the lord of Dongling City, you should be protecting its people, but you are rampant and tyrannical. You hold human life in regard as nothing. You are unworthy to be a City Lord!"

Her words completely angered Feng Ziying.

As a result, Lin Wu had become the first human sacrifice.

Because of this, she was rescued by the male protagonist.

Lin Wu's affection for him also began to sprout at that time.

*

Lin Xiaocha didn't stand up and didn't reply to the system, but just buried her head in her knees like everyone else.

System: [...]

She has never acted clumsily, and it was even more unlikely that she would criticize her target in public.

The City Lord looked around at the surrounding refugees coldly with his narrow eyes.

One by one, they shrank against the wall like quails, wishing to sink into the walls.

Only the white-clothed man stared at him coldly.

They surveyed each other up and down. It wasn't that Feng Ziying had never thought of using him as a sacrifice. It was just that at first sight, it was clear that he is an extraordinary cultivator.

It's just that the cold gaze of this white-clothed man made him extremely uncomfortable.

He snorted coldly and swallowed his saliva.

The large black panther stood up. It jumped out of his carriage in front of the refugees and looked at them as he walked, as if it was choosing breakfast.

The refugees held their breaths one by one. They were so scared that their hair limped down.

The whole street seemed to have only the sound of the refugees' teeth shuddering.

A child cried out with a "waa!" and awakened her frightened mother, who immediately covered her mouth.

However, it was too late.

The City Lord in the tent slowly moved his icy gaze to the child.

"It's her."

The child didn't know what was going to happen, but the mother instantly collapsed. She prostrated on the ground and kept bowing, "City Lord! She is not even three years old! City Lord!"

"City Lord! Please, let my child go! City Lord!"

The City Lord turned a deaf ear to her plea for mercy.

Seeing that it was useless to beg him, the mother put her hope in the concubine, "Little Tao! Please, save my child!"

Little Tao is the concubine next to the City Lord. She turned her head and pretended not to hear the mother pleading.

"Little Tao! Little Tao! When you were still a refugee, you were about to starve to death. I used to give you half a bun!"

"Shut up! Isn't it just half a bun? I will give it back to you!" She finally climbed up from a refugee to a concubine. As a concubine, she didn't need to endure the cold and starvation anymore. How can she make the City Lord angry and lose his meager favor?

When she heard her, the mother was stunned and couldn't say a word.

The City Lord, who had a panoramic view of this scene, was not surprised. His face was full of mocking smiles.

Seeing the black armor guards around the City Lord coming to drag her daughter, the mother kept begging for mercy, "Mercy! Mercy! I beg you to give mercy to the child!"

Feng Ziying leaned to Tao Ji's ear, sneered with coldness in her ear, "She wants to save her child. What do you say I should do?"

Sweat dripped from her forehead and melted some of the powder on her face. Tao Ji was dizzy. "City Lord, if she wants to save her daughter, she can replace her as a sacrifice."

"But how pitiful a daughter is without a mother~" He continued to whisper in her ear.

Tao Ji: "City Lord, Tao Ji has an idea. If they don't want to be separated, it is better to go on the road together."

Hearing this, the City Lord laughed.

"It's still Tao Ji who is the most understanding." He said so, but his tone was extremely cold. People couldn't hear the joy at all, and his voice was even full of irony.

Feng Ziying pointed at the mother and child blankly.

"Then two people will be together, to be each other’s companion on the road." The mother's legs were softened, and she looked at Tao Ji and the City Lord in shock. She then rushed to the carriage, but was stopped by the guard.

"City Lord! Forgive me! Have pity on us! Have pity on us!!"

The little girl burst into tears.

The cry of the two people seemed to resound in despair and misery throughout Dongling City.

Feng Ziying scanned the silent and trembling refugees on the ground.

Sure enough, no one dared to stand up and intercede for the mother and child.

Dongling City was close to the Ten Thousand Demon Forest. Every time a demon escapes from the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, a large number of refugees would rush into the city to seek protection.

In his eyes, these refugees were as dirty and cowardly as ants.

Just like the woman he hugged, she could give up her dignity and disregard human kindness in order to be prosperous and wealthy.

"Who would like to replace the mother and child?" He cocked his mouth and said this deliberately.

Because he knew that it was impossible for anyone to come forward, they were the same as Tao Ji.

"If someone is willing to take the place of this mother and child, this City Lord can show kindness. This lord will give all of you food in Dongling City for a hundred days." He continued to seduce the refugees.

It's like playing a game.

A game that he will definitely win.

The refugees’ ears pricked up. They were all hungry. Many people were dying of hunger, not to mention that a hundred days, even three days, or even one day’s worth of food was tempting.

But it was the first time that the Demon Realm proposed a human sacrifice. How could they know how they would be sacrificed?

They might be burned or peeled.

Faced with the fear of the unknown, no one dared to emerge as a hero. Afterall, these refugees had been frustrated by their sufferings and were living like ants. 

The City Lord looked at the indifferent refugees and laughed at the sky.

"Fine, no one~ You really disappointed my kindness."

He stopped Tao Ji and tore her clothes, revealing her plump breasts.

......

......

"I am willing."

A voice was shaking, but it did not conceal its natural sweetness.

The City Lord, who was resting on his concubine, frowned. He turned his head and looked for the source of the sound.

The refugees also focused their eyes on the petite body curled up in the corner.

With dirty clothes and a dirty, little face, she was no different from other refugees with dirty clothes and dirty faces.

It's just that those apricot eyes were different from the numbness and horror of other refugees. They were clear and beautiful, shining brightly like a clear spring between the mud.

She squeezed her fists tightly, her legs trembled, and she bit her lower lip firmly.

As if, at this moment, she has exhausted all the courage and strength in her life just to stand up.

As if she was afraid that others hadn't heard her voice just now, she repeated again tremblingly, "City Lord, I am willing."
