Chapter 601: Chapter 550: Mother and the Little Beast_3
“I truly did not expect that you would be able to achieve this,”
The rescued Enchanting Demons all showed surprised expressions, and Ning Feiyan’s mother asked in confusion, “Husband, what are you talking about?”
The man said, “Once the city falls, all life and death are unpredictable. I thought our clan wouldn’t survive this disaster, but Feiyan told me she had a way to erase the Hook Snake clan.”
He looked at her approvingly, “Feiyan did very well.”
The woman had never imagined that a young, frail Enchanting Demon could turn the tide of battle to this extent.
Feeling uneasy, she asked Ning Feiyan, “What did you do?”
Ning Feiyan took a blue stream stone from her bosom and calmly said, “This is a Poison Demon Stone I requested from the Great Emperor, capable of eroding all demons to death.”
The woman could not understand, “Even so, you never had the chance to poison the great army of Hook Snakes, let alone approach their chief.”
Facing everyone’s perplexity, Ning Feiyan simply replied with four words.
“Snake nature is lascivious.”
The woman, struck like thunder, turned extremely pale.
The Enchanting Demons imprisoned with her in the same cart also showed signs of collapse; the Demon Poison was naturally sourced from them, secretly administered into their bodies.
Her father instantly grasped her meaning, his face also turning grim.
With a strained voice and disbelieving gaze, he looked at Ning Feiyan as if she were a strange monster, “You… you actually turned against your own kind.”
Ning Feiyan dismissed the hopes of those Enchanting Demons clinging to luck with one statement that plunged them into Hell, “Compared to the victory of war, what does the death of a few matter? Compared to the tens of thousands of our clansmen burnt to death in the city, today’s sacrifice is negligible.”
“Moreover, the Spirit Fruit of Beiyuan Forest can counteract this poison. As long as my father wins today’s battle and returns early to retrieve the fruit, their lives will naturally be saved.”
Hearing all this, the woman felt a chill to her lips and teeth.
Although she resented the child for assassinating the Hook Snake clan that night, she had to admit that deep inside, she still harbored some appreciation for her, thinking she was avenging her sister, hence she struck out in anger.
But little did she imagine, it was all part of a chained plan. From the moment she acted, she aimed to provoke the leader of the Hook Snakes, depriving those in the carriage of food and water, driving them to desperation, forcing them to compromise for survival and barter with those snake demons for food.
What was more terrifying was that she now couldn’t be sure if she herself was also a part of her schemes.
The Hook Snake leader was very picky and generally turned away Enchanting Demon females who offered themselves to him.
But she had stealthily visited his tent several times when no one was watching.
She wasn’t sure if there were other women who had visited the Enchanting Demon leader’s tent. If not, it meant this damned fiend of a child had not spared even her own mother.
The middle-aged man’s expression became dark, almost dripping with water. His people humiliating themselves by yielding to the enemy for survival was a disgrace in itself.
What enraged him further was his inability to determine whether his own wife had compromised itself.
For a man, it was undoubtedly a great disgrace in life.
With a grave voice, mustering the last of his patience, he ordered a clan doctor, “Examine their bodies to see who all are infected with Demon Poison, so they can be treated promptly upon returning.”
Due to this request, the woman’s heart sank. If it was discovered that she was infected with Demon Poison, it meant her disgrace would be completely exposed.
She subconsciously looked towards Ning Feiyan, only to see her also looking in her direction, even giving her a slight smile.
The woman felt a shiver run through her.
Such a child, capable of manipulative schemes at such a young age, was unnerving indeed.
