196 Caught! (1/2)
Yun Yang smiled amicably. ”I believe that this favor asked of you is not hard to deliver. Besides, I can help you with other things as well. Come find me after you complete it and we can talk about it in detail.”
”I have nothing I need your help for.”
The man in white ground his teeth until it almost shattered. ”The moment I complete this favor, we will no longer know each other. We will have nothing else to do with each other, no relationship whatsoever.”
”A deal is a deal.”
”There's no going back.”
”Speak.”
”It's rather simple actually. I only need you to…”
When the man had heard all that Yun Yang had to say, he was surprised. ”Your ultimate goal is only that? My promise is so precious, yet you only want me to kill a single person?”
Yun Yang grinned. ”You’re completely right. This isn’t as easy – to me, of course.”
”What’s so hard about killing a person?” The man in white scoffed arrogantly.
”I should still remind you then. If you are caught, and you expose me, the deal is off.”
He reminded him earnestly, ”This is a friendly reminder. No matter when or under what circumstances that makes you utter my name, then your debt – be it your word or other things - will be mine.”
The man dressed in white felt his anger soaring. ”Of course.”
Yun Yang took the jade pendant and all sort of rare metals out, placing them on the table.
”Please…”
Just as the word left his mouth, Yun Yang stopped abruptly. Although these items still looked like how they used to, Yun Yang could tell that at least ninety-five percent of the spiritual Qi contained within were already gone!
Yun Yang was exasperated. He had only kept them on him for such a short amount of time but Emmie had already devoured the entire lot…
The man in white was obviously beside himself with rage, sweeping everything into his arms without even looking at them and said, ”We owe each other nothing from now on! Good bye!”
Yun Yang let out a breath of relief. ”Whatever you say. We owe each other nothing then. Remember what you said!”
The man replied, enraged. ”I, Bai Yixue, am not someone who reneges his promises and goes back on his words.”
He had turned around to leave even before the last few words had left his lips.
Yun Yang heaved a long sigh of relief, ”Oh my god, that was so close!”
Yun Yang’s judgment had told him that this man's level was at least higher than the Dragon of Clouds, Liang Yunqi. If this man were to be infuriated and went head to head with him, he would really be in trouble.
”Emmie, Emmie!”
Yun Yang entered his subconscious with a dark expression. ”You…”
”Ayaya…”
Emmie obviously knew that it had been caught red-handed as its soft tendrils wrapped around Yun Yang to placate him. The tip of its tendrils ran around Yun Yang softly to appease him, actually going under his armpits.
It was like a young daughter who knew she had done wrong and was appeasing her father with all the charm she could muster, adorably flattering him, using everything it had without a care for what it was…
”Alright, I lose…” Feeling mollified, his anger dissipating, Yun Yang could only give it an empty threat, ”You can’t do that in the future, alright?”
”Ayaya…”
Emmie waved its tendrils and snuggled around Yun Yang intimately.
”Emmie, how far away am I from leveling up?”
”Ayaya…”
”Only several dozen people away? So few?”
”Ayaya…”
Yun Yang exited his subconscious space gently, a smile on his face and his body light. It was then that he realized the rage he was filled with earlier did not even lash out before it dissolved into nothing…
Emmie’s ability to divert anger was top-notch!
The sudden episode with the man dressed in white ended there and then; Yun Yang shifted his attention back to the gaming tables.
Compared to the unexpected man in white, the foreign generals were today’s real goal!
However, Yun Yang was no longer interested in the wager here – no, perhaps it should be said that Yun Yang had never bothered with the monetary wagers the generals had in the first place!
