Ye Liusu was expressionless. Ye Liubo's expression changed, but she did not dare to disobey the matriarch's orders. She glanced at Li Qingshan and knelt down in the hall.
"Do you know your crimes?"
"I know my crimes." Ye Liusu bowed. Ye Liubo could only lower her head.
"Elder Mingjing, how should they be punished for their crimes?"
"They lost their territory. They should be punished by the snake cave!" The old woman said sinisterly.
"Yes." Ye Liusu did not resist at all.
Ye Liubo trembled all over and revealed a look of fear. She felt a hand land on her head, and heard Li Qingshan say, "Liubo has already recognized me as her master. She is no longer bound by your laws." Only then did she calm down.
"Traitors of the clan should be punished by death by a thousand cuts!"
"Matriarch Ye."
Ye Liubo looked at Li Qingshan like a drowning person desperately grasping at a life-saving straw. Li Qingshan glanced at Ye Mingzhu. Do you still want to put on the airs of a matriarch at a time like this?
"Sir North Moon, you're making things difficult for me. The clan's laws cannot be abolished. There's no room for negotiation! However, in consideration of our friendship, I'm willing to make compensation. Liuliu, Liuyun. "
"What orders do you have, Matriarch?" The two women who originally sat below Ye Liubo walked up. They were both rare beauties.
"From today onwards, you're Sir North Moon's servants. Whatever Sir North Moon wants you to do, you'll do."
"Yes!" The two of them said in unison.
"One for two. That's a good deal." Li Qingshan smiled.
"Master!" Ye Liubo's face paled. She wailed.
"However, I can't."
"Sir North Moon, are you not satisfied with this compensation? Then speak up quickly. Night roamers. There aren't many other things, but there are plenty of beauties among my daughters. If you like anyone, just tell me. "
"Is that so?" Li Qingshan's gaze fell on Ye Liusu, who was on the ground. Afterwards, he looked at Ye Liuxing, which made her heart tighten.
During this process, Ye Liubo felt as if she had fallen into an icehouse, and she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. In the underground world, it was natural for people to betray each other. This was not the first time she had tasted the feeling of being betrayed. This was the first time she couldn't help but laugh at herself. Did she really believe him? Believe that I can be protected?
Li Qingshan's gaze swept across Ye Mingzhu's daughters one by one, and finally returned to Ye Mingzhu. He said slowly, "Respect, respect."
"What do you mean?"
"As my servant, it's only right that you die for me. However, she was a servant. Not goods, even if I am the master, I must respect this point, can not casually sell her, so. No matter how high the price you offer, it's useless. "
"Master." Ye Liubo raised her head in disbelief, gazing at his face. Her heart felt like it had risen from hell to heaven, and her eyes could not help but moisten slightly.
Ye Liusu was rather moved as well. She relaxed. It seemed like she had not followed the wrong person this time.
Ye Mingzhu frowned. "I find it very regrettable that you're like this. Don't you think it's not worth it to damage our long-term relationship for the sake of an insignificant bitch?"
"To be honest, none of your daughters are more valuable than her. Liubo, it's not like I'm asking you to kneel. "
"Yes, master." Ye Liubo glanced at Ye Mingzhu and slowly stood up. She puffed out her chest and looked down on those who had once needed her to bow and scrape. Her heart was filled with pride.
"If you find it unacceptable, I can work with the other matriarchs. I believe they'll be very willing." Li Qingshan's words immediately made the atmosphere tense up once more.
"Since you're so insistent, fine then!" Ye Mingzhu sighed. She could only suppress her anger and her face turned cold. "Ye Liubo, since you've already admitted to your crimes, we'll begin the punishment immediately. Take her away!"
"Sister!" Ye Liubo could not help but call out. The punishment of the snake cavern sealed up all of her strength, making her suffer the bites of thousands of snakes. The venom in the mouths of the snakes might not be fatal to her, but it was extremely painful.
"Hold on."
"Ma 'am North Moon, what else do you have to say?" Ye Mingzhu squinted her eyes, trying to find an opportunity she could use.
"I'm not your servant." Ye Liusu's eyes flickered, but her face remained cold.
"You will be very soon. Matriarch, I have another question. Do the night roamers still want to use that territory? "
"Of course." Ye Mingzhu's eyes immediately lit up. The importance of the territory went without saying, but she had never been bold enough to mention sharing the territory with Li Qingshan. Daemons were extremely territorial. Something like that was basically a naked provocation. It was like asking a man, "Can you lend me your wife?" Daemon Generals with weaker tempers would immediately fall out with her.
"I've always hated these trivial matters. I want a servant to help me manage it." Li Qingshan was actually not interested in the territory. All he cared about were the resources underground. It was impossible for him to stay underground and watch over it. He was still longing for the pleasures of the mortal world.
Under these circumstances, Milliped could not even subdue the daemons below with his current strength, and the territory could easily be devoured by other Daemon Generals. He needed a suitable person to manage the situation. Unfortunately, Ye Liubo had yet to undergo the heavenly tribulation, so he had to settle for the next best thing. Ye Liusu became the best choice. Of course, he would not accept any sharing. He could only accept her as a servant.
"Ye Liusu, from today onwards, you are sir North Moon's servant. You will listen to all of his orders. You will no longer be restricted by the Spider Shadow clan," Ye Mingzhu said immediately, as if she was afraid Li Qingshan would go back on his word. She was a servant, but whether she obeyed him or not was just a single thought. Within the entire Spider Shadow clan, there was no one more loyal than Ye Liusu.
"Matriarch!" Ye Liusu, who had always been meek and submissive, finally could not help but raise an objection. However, under Ye Mingzhu's gaze, she could only grit her teeth and lower her head. "Yes, mother!"
Li Qingshan came to a realisation. As it turned out, they really were mother and daughter, but he did not take it to heart. He did not care what the night roamers wanted to do with the territory at all. Moreover, loyalty could change.
"Servant Ye Liusu greets master." Ye Liusu arrived before Li Qingshan and bowed. She was hugged by Ye Liubo and smiled. "Sister, from today onwards, we're all master's servants."
Ye Liusu smiled bitterly inside. She had never seen someone so happy being a servant. However, as a mighty night roamer, her own mother actually did not even know how to respect daemons?
In the end, Ye Mingzhu discovered that she had not lost anything, and she had gained a powerful ally. By returning the territory to the daemons, the Spider Shadow clan could let out a sigh of relief. They would no longer become a target for the other clans, which was instead a good thing. Once they had accumulated enough strength, it would be time for them to pay their debts of blood. She was extremely satisfied with this outcome, and she rejoiced that she had not chosen to fight to the death.
This North Moon really is different, and he's extremely handsome. He's also extremely handsome. None of her concubines can compare to him. "Ye Mingzhu pursed her lips and revealed a charming smile.
As a result, the atmosphere became even more harmonious. Ye Liubo just knelt beside Li Qingshan, pouring wine and picking food for him. She could not help but rub against him. There was nothing Ye Liusu could do. She pressed her hand against the hilt of her blade and stood to one side, acting as a guard.
Ye Mingzhu even expressed enthusiastically that she wanted Li Qingshan to talk to her in detail. Li Qingshan glanced at the frosty Ye Liusu before glancing at the mature and charming Ye Mingzhu. In the end, he hardened his heart and turned her down.
It was difficult to endure watching but not being able to eat. However, he believed that all of his patience would be worth it for her sake. He wondered if she had come out of seclusion yet.
After the banquet, under Ye Mingzhu's personal guidance, they once again returned to the raging underground river. They followed the current and hurried to Cobweb City to meet Helicoverpa Rosa.
Li Qingshan once again displayed his ability to control water. Ye Mingzhu was secretly amazed. Even a water-elemental Daemon General would not be able to do this if he did not have the bloodline of a spirit beast!
Everything made sense now. It was not without reason that a Daemon General who had just passed the Heavenly Tribulation could easily defeat Liusu. She valued Li Qingshan even more. As long as these Daemons with supernatural bloodlines continued to cultivate, they would all become incredible figures.
In time, they might even be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the three by Lady Lolth's side.
Li Qingshan rode the river like a heavenly horse. In less than fifteen minutes, he arrived at Cobweb City.
The river broke and fell once again. However, the roar of the waterfall was extremely soft and came from far below.
Li Qingshan's face was filled with shock. Before him was an inconceivably huge space. The raging river flowed on a vast piece of land with countless tributaries.
A cold and majestic black castle rose from the ground, standing hundreds of meters tall.
It was actually carved from an entire mountain. There were countless towers, straight and sharp, like countless giant swords of different lengths. They gathered together and pointed to the sky.
Li Qingshan had never imagined that there would actually be such a magnificent structure underground. For a moment, he was actually unable to think of a single structure he had seen in both his lives that could rival it.
This was Cobweb City. This was where the Spider Queen ruled over this web-like underground world.
It was raining. Only now did Li Qingshan notice that the air was very moist and filled with the smell of sulfur. On the other side of Cobweb City, a fire-red river of lava surged over, also splitting into tributaries.
Water and fire interweaved to form a strange net that gave rise to clouds of mist. It rose to the top of the cave and turned into a black cloud that never dispersed, enveloping the sky above Cobweb City and raining down rain constantly. It made Cobweb City seem even colder and taller. It actually gave off the illusion that it was impossible to tell just how tall it was. He could clearly see that Cobweb City was connected to the top of the cave, supporting this unbelievably large cavern.
"We night roamers spent several centuries building this for ma 'am Spider Queen. It's a perfect piece of art!" Ye Mingzhu was filled with pride. (To be continued)
