Chapter 206: If You Force Your Way In With Your Sword, You Will Definitely Scare Miss Shen

As the girl’s voice fell, the surroundings fell silent.
Shen Yuyan didn’t say anything. Everyone’s eyes were on him with curiosity, suspicion, and envy.
After all, the only person who could earn the Lord Mountain God’s favor was the person in front of him.
If he dared to say no now, they would punish him for his disloyalty on behalf of the Lord Mountain God.
Shen Yuyan stared at Huang Xing’er for a long while, then raised the corners of his lips and said, “Lord Mountain God wouldn’t want my sister as a sacrifice.”
With that, he ignored everyone’s reaction and walked away.
Huang Xing’er frowned as she looked at Shen Yuyan’s back, clenching her fists tightly.
She was sure that if the Mountain God saw Miss Shen, he would definitely like her very much.
The only reason for Miss Shen not to be a sacrifice was…
Not daring to continue thinking, Huang Xing’er’s gaze slowly swept across the people in front of her. “Today’s sacrificial ceremony is over. Everyone, go back and think about how to successfully bring the sacrifice to the Lord Mountain God.”
With that, she left.
Everyone else present also left.
No one saw the door of the Mountain God Temple, which was originally standing quietly in the night, suddenly twist and spit out a skull with blood.
After rolling a few times on the ground, the skull fell into a pile of weeds. Only a pair of eyes on the blood-stained skull was intact, its eyes opened wide in unrest.
The next day.
Shen Liu’an arrived in Landlord Liu’s backyard early in the morning.
Yan Bei was leaning against the door and yawning. When he saw Shen Liu’an, he immediately stood up straight.
“General.”
��His Highness hasn’t woken up yet?” Shen Liu’an asked.
Yan Bei shook his head gently. “His Highness has been sleeping a lot recently.”
Shen Liu’an narrowed his eyes. “What about my daughter?”
Yan Bei pointed at the room and remained silent.
Shen Liu’an took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Then, he placed his hand on the sword at his waist.
Seeing that Shen Liu’an was about to draw his sword, Yan Bei pounced on him and hugged his arm. “No, General Shen. If you barge in with your sword, you’ll definitely scare Miss Shen.”
His words hit Shen Liu’an’s weak spot, forcing him to give up on the idea of carrying his sword in.
“Go and wake them up.” After saying this, Shen Liu’an went to the courtyard to wait.
Yan Bei swallowed his saliva and was about to knock on the door to call the people in the house when he heard a cry coming from outside their small courtyard.
“Your Highness! Your Highness, save me!”
This voice belonged to Landlord Liu’s wife, Madam Li.
Yan Bei and Shen Liu’an looked at the entrance of the courtyard and saw Madam Li crying as she entered with the help of a few maidservants.
“What’s going on?” Shen Liu’an went over and asked Madam Li.
“General Shen, please save my daughter!” Madam Li knelt down in front of Shen Liu’an.
Shen Liu’an quickly helped her up. “Tell me what happened first.”
“My daughter left the residence after dinner yesterday and hasn’t returned yet,” Madam Li said as she cried. “We also sent people out to look for her, but we couldn’t find my daughter in the entire village. Do you think she was captured by the cat demon?”
“That’s impossible,” Yan Bei said as he walked towards Madam Li. “The cat demon is already seriously injured and won’t come out to cause trouble for a while.”
“Then, then where did my daughter go? Her father has always disciplined her strictly and doesn’t allow her to leave the residence at all, let alone go out for a night without coming back. This is definitely not something my daughter dares to do.” Madam Li was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Shen Liu’an’s expression turned solemn. Just as he was about to say that he would send someone to look for her again, he heard a weak voice behind Madam Li.
“Mother, I heard that you were looking for me…”
