Chapter 2358: Is He Still Himself?

Salamy suddenly felt a chill run down her back. She couldn’t help but look around her, but she didn’t sense any danger.

Hold on, isn’t there something wrong with the way those women are looking at me? They seem to be really guarded for some reason.

Salamay laughed inwardly in self-mockery. These were just some sacrifices and slaves; they didn’t even have the qualifications for her to even look straight at them. She didn’t treat it with any importance; instead, she continued to ask Zu An, “Tell me a bit more about the regent, and in as much detail as possible.”

“Um… That guy is really cruel. It’s rumored that he kills without batting an eyelid, and he shows even less mercy while killing monsters.” When he sensed the tension between all of the women, Zu An started panicking a bit. He no longer dared to blow his own horn like before to describe that ‘regent’ too wonderfully and make Salamay really carry out a honey trap.

But Salamay only nodded and said, “Killing decisively is a trait that a hero ought to have. It’s no wonder that his reputation has almost caught up to the Monster Lord’s.”

Zu An: “???”

Is there something wrong with this woman? She could even interpret something like that in the other direction?

“I’ve heard that he’s a perverted bastard who has to be with ten different women every night. Many of those women were completely abused by that guy. First miss, please rethink your decision or else you might end up being hurt.” Zu An could only make up some nonsensical flaws.

Ji Xiaoxi was a bit perplexed as she listened.

Big brother Zu has to sleep with ten women every night? Then wasn’t he really pent up all this time?

Her face reddened a bit.

If he has such powerful desire, big brother Zu might be experiencing some problems down there. I should secretly give him some medicine to make up for his deficiency.

Jiang Luofu understood Ji Xiaoxi best. When she saw her junior sister’s expression, Jiang Luofu held her forehead.

This silly girl probably completely believed what Zu An said.

This damn kid Ah Zu, he’s actually speaking such nonsense in front of the pure and innocent Xiaoxi.

Suolun Shi’s eyes widened in disbelief. She looked at Pei Mianman, and then at Yun Yuqing. With big brother Zu’s stamina being capable of taking ten women to bed each night, she wondered just how these two’s dainty looking bodies could handle it.

Pei Mianman and Yun Yunqing felt really uncomfortable all over from her look.

Ah Zu really dares to say anything.

Just then, Salamay said with a smile, “A man this powerful is definitely not someone a normal woman could handle. The creatures of this world have low cultivation and their bodies are frail, so that’s why he needs ten women to satisfy him. But in our Monster World, that’s not a problem at all. The stronger the man’s body, the more we like them.”

Zu An was speechless. He really didn’t have anything to say. He’d already slandered himself this much, but it turned out Salamay was actually such a crazy woman!

It seems I absolutely can’t reveal that I’m the regent, or else she might really lust after my body.

When he heard how excited Salamay was, Mojard’s face quickly darkened.

You have successfully trolled Mojard for +444 +444 +444…

Zu An found this quite laughable. This guy really did have some kind of obsession with his own niece.

A crazy man and a crazy woman. What an excellent pair!

…

Salamay continued to try and get more information about Zu An, but Zu An kept trying to find ways to ‘slander’ himself more. As she listened to him, Salamay started to become unhappy. She protested, “Donaire, aren’t you deliberately slandering the regent? Hmph, that’s not an honorable action. I know that you have some feelings toward me, but if you continue this, it will only make me look down on you.”

Zu An was stunned.

Pei Mianman and the others almost burst out into laughter. It wasn’t every day that they got to see this guy in such a tough spot, after all!

Just like that, the group searched around Great Snowy Mountain for several days.

Mojard started getting a bit impatient, asking, “Donaire, are you deliberately taking us through detours? Why haven’t we found the location of the late master yet after all this time?”

Zu An replied coldly, “What are you in such a rush for? The Lord of Slaughter’s location isn’t so easily found.”

Mojard choked. He knew that what Zu An was saying made some sense.

Salamay frowned. “Donaire, our time is limited. We can’t afford too many delays.”

“Don’t worry, it’s not that far away,” Zu An replied. He then looked toward the sky and said, “Judging from the looks of it, there will be a frightening snowstorm tonight. We should rest here for the night.”

Salamay was a bit unhappy. “With our cultivation, it’s completely fine for us to not rest for a period of time. It’s best if we seize the moment.” How could she still be in the mood to sleep when she knew that she was about to meet her father again?

“Everyone’s cultivation has been weakened by this world, and these Great Snowy Mountains are known to be a dangerous restricted area by the people of this world. Even the most powerful earth immortals of this world can accidentally lose their lives here. The power of the snowstorms here is something even they can’t endure. At this rate, our forces will suffer casualties before the enemy even finds us,” Zu An replied coldly.

Salamay grew silent. They were at the outskirts of the snowstorm right now, and even she could feel a bit of pain from the icy wind. It could actually be dangerous if they went straight toward the center of the snowstorm. Still, she couldn’t help but ask, “But what if the snowstorm never ends?”

Zu An glanced at the sky. “From the looks of it, it should gradually stop in the latter half of the night. We should reach our destination by midday tomorrow.”

Salamay finally sighed in relief when she heard what he said. “Alright then. Everyone, find a place to set up camp. We’ll continue to press forward once the snowstorm stops.”

Her subordinates quickly dispersed. With their cultivation, they were able to quickly create snow huts that could not only shield them from the snowstorm, but also provided warmth.

The True Demon race’s elders dug a large hole for themselves to hide in. They were now already traumatized and extremely sensitive to everything. They were worried that they would be attacked if they ever separated, and always stuck together.

…

In Salamay’s ice hut, Mojard bowed before saying, “First miss, I can’t help but feel as if Donaire has been acting a bit strange during the past two days.”

“I’ve also felt that.” Salamay’s brows furrowed deeply. “But I can’t exactly say where the strangeness lies either.”

“First miss, please relax. I’ve already sent my subordinates out to observe our surroundings. Should he do anything, we’ll immediately…” Mojard drew his fingers across his neck.

“Let’s not act rashly yet. Once tomorrow comes and we see the location of father’s prison, we’ll then see just what he is plotting.” Salamay’s expression was cold.

Mojard smiled. “So the first miss was already prepared. I was worrying over nothing.”

…

A similar conversation was taking place in Pei Mianman and the other women’s ice huts. Yun Yuqing found a chance to pull Pei Mianman aside and asked her through ki, “Manman, for the past few weeks, don’t you feel as if he’s become… a bit strange?”

Pei Mianman carefully gave the monsters outside a look, then took out a soundproofing barrier Zu An gave her before replying, “He’s indeed been a bit strange.”

“I feel as if he’s become quieter than before. Even though he tried to act cool sometimes in the past, he also tried to downplay things. But now, the feeling is different. It’s almost as if he’s the cold and detached type from his very core,” Yun Yuqing said after thinking for a bit.

“I’ve felt as if he’s been especially passionate as of late, and even a bit naughty. He squeezed me several times secretly… and asked me what I ate growing up,” Pei Mianman said with a frown.

“Huh?” Yun Yuqing gave her chest a look. “Then what did you eat growing up?”

“I ate…” Pei Mianman reflexively replied when she suddenly realized something. Her face turned red. “Is that the important point?!”

“Do you think…” Yun Yuqing chuckled awkwardly and held her hand. She wrote on it, “Is he still himself?”

Pei Mianman became quiet. “Some time earlier, Ah Zu told us to trust him unconditionally in this time.”

Yun Yuqing was surprised for a moment, but then she suddenly realized something. “It seems like Ah Zu has other plans. I was worried for nothing.”

Pei Mianman chuckled and didn’t say anything else. However, she was still really worried inside. There were some things that others wouldn’t know, but she understood extremely well. How had Qiu Honglei almost lost her life?

The true Lord of Slaughter was already dead, and they were reaching the destination tomorrow, which meant they wouldn’t be able to hide anything anymore. Salamay’s group would immediately grow hostile once they learned the truth, so how were they supposed to deal with that situation then?
