However, Xiao Hei didn’t need to break the contract as Luo Huian’s lightning speed was halted by the person who stepped inside the penthouse.
"Well, well, well, where is the little cat running off to?" The person said with a cackling voice.
Luo Huian raised her head and looked at the woman who had caught her. She was a beautiful woman with black hair that reached past her shoulders, with coppery red eyes that were filled with a chilly mirth.
All in all, she resembled those pretty but ugly personality witches who smiled at someone and handed them poisoned apples.
"Who..is this?" Luo Huian asked Xiao Bai who was dangling in her hand.
"You still want our help? Hah! You have to be kidding——" Xiao Hei began his scolding but was interrupted by Xiao Bai.
"Huian, what do you say when you do something wrong?" Xiao Bai said to Luo Huian who stiffened as she pursed her lips and said, "I am sorry?"
"That’s right, now remove that questioning tone and do it properly," Xiao Bai said to the girl as if she were a little child.
Luo Huian dared not to ignore her because Xiao Bai was using the tone of her daddy. She could go against Xiao Hei as she was used to fighting with her father but when it came to her daddy, she dared not to go against him and disappoint him.
So, even though she felt it was a bit annoying, she honestly apologised, "I am sorry. Can you please tell me who this woman is now? I am tired of dangling like this?"
This newcomer was holding her by her collar and Luo Huian was not happy with it.
"She is Heaven’s knight guild’s A-grade hunter—— Bai Shiliu. From the information collected, she is the left-hand woman of Luo Qingling. She is also known as poison lily, apparently, it has something to do with her skills and the powers that she awakened."
She was a hunter as well? Just how many hunters were there in this guild?
"Well she does look like she is poisonous," Luo Huian commented while dangling six inches above the floor,
Luo Huian raised her head and looked at the woman before saying, "Umm can you let go?"
"I cannot," Bai Shiliu smiled at Luo Huian and said to her, "Guild Leader ordered me to keep an eye on you, she even told me that you will try to run as soon as I open the door, and asked me to be on guard. It is a good thing that I listened to her."
’Why were they treating her like a pet dog!’ Luo Huia grumbled in her head as she couldn’t believe that Luo Qingling instead of taking this powerful hunter with her, left this woman here to guard her.
Was she crazy? Or was she overconfident?
"I am not running away, I am just going on a short walk," Luo Huian quibbled. She tried to get away from the woman who was holding her but her strength in comparison to Bai Shiliu was like that of a mouse facing a pit bull.
She couldn’t even touch the floor much less get away from the woman who was holding her in the air.
"Like I said, you cannot go anywhere. Not unless the guild leader permits you to do so," said Bai Shiliu. She was still smiling but Luo Huian could feel a sort of pressure rise in the air before slamming it down on her chest.
It seared through her skin and grabbed her heart leaving her terrified of the woman who was holding her.
"So stay inside the penthouse like a good little kitty."
’Shit…this feeling,’ Luo Huian was having trouble breathing as she looked at Bai Shiliu. It was the kind of feeling that instinctively caused Luo Huian to be terrified.
It was the same kind of fear a prey would feel in the presence of its predator.
’No…I cannot get scared of a human …. I am an immortal, if an immortal got scared of a human then where will I put my face once I return?’ Luo Huian thought with a sweat drop trickling down her forehead to the neck.
"Let go of me," Luo Huian tried to suppress the fear that made her tremble to the bones. However, as soon as she raised her head, she saw a large black figure with red eyes instead of Bai Shiliu.
It resembled what the humans of this world called panthers.
[Terror and Fear Resistance upgraded version activated: Blocks the aura of higher class hunters. All kind of pressure will be nullified.]
Luo Huian’s eyes widened as soon as the notification screen appeared in front of her.
The fear inside her heart loosened and ——
The panther that looked terrifying turned into a small kitty.
’Heh, did this woman think that she could suppress her? She was the heavenly, unmatched—— Luo Huian, alright!’
Old Madam Luo who could see everything from above: "…"
Where did this girl get her confidence from?
"Heh, you! Bai Shiliu, who do you think you are? Do you think you can lock me up like this?" Now that Luo Huian was no longer scared of this woman, she was going to give her a taste of her own medicine.
"This is called trespassing! I know about the laws of this place too alright?"
"It’s confining and imprisonment," Xiao Bai corrected Luo Huian while Xiao Hei smacked his tail on his forehead. This girl, seriously said anything that came to her mouth didn’t she?
Luo Huian: "…"
"Can I get a do-over?" Luo Huian said to the woman. "I said the wrong thing just now but that doesn’t mean that I am an idiot. You are the idiot who thinks that you can lock me up, I will call the police if you don’t let me off. Confining someone is against the law !"
"Ooooho, seems like this kitty is not only cute but also untamed!"
