Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off novel Chapter 198

Chapter 198: Chapter 196: Hu Tu

Still, the man was highly vigilant and cautious.

He was leading Wu Huo and his two companions into the mansion. Just as they rounded a corner, he suddenly stopped.

"By the way, Sir, who is this person behind you? Why is he so heavily disguised?"

"Once you’re inside my City Lord Mansion, you can rest assured. It’s perfectly safe here!"

Wu Huo stopped in his tracks, knowing Hu Tu was asking about Huang Ziyue.

"He is my subordinate. He has never been one to show his true face, as his appearance is... quite hideous. He’s afraid of frightening people!"

Hu Tu listened, glancing doubtfully at Huang Ziyue behind Wu Huo.

He’d never have guessed that a man with such a powerful aura and cold gaze would be so thoroughly covered up simply because he was ugly.

’But just from that pair of dark red eyes, he doesn’t seem like he’d be ugly!’

He then glanced at Shen Yue, who was clad in red with her face obscured by a veil, and asked suspiciously,

"And what about this lady? Could she be a member of your family, Sir? Is she your Female Master?"

The moment Wu Huo heard this, a chill shot down his spine.

Feeling a gaze as cold and sharp as ice aimed at the back of his head, he hastily replied,

"Hu City Lord, please don’t make wild guesses. She is my subordinate’s Female Master. The two of them are deeply in love and have never been apart. That’s why I brought them both along with me this time."

Hearing this, Hu Tu immediately felt he had been presumptuous. For a moment there, he could feel the cold glare from the man behind him, as if it were about to bore a hole right through him.

But when he looked back, the intense gaze was gone.

It left him feeling rather jumpy.

’Then again,’ he thought, ’the Flood Dragon Clan are all supreme experts. I’ve heard that for them, even S+ spiritual power is considered merely average.’

’So this subordinate’s spiritual power must be at least S Class. Otherwise, why would a single glance from him make me so tense?’

He quickly smoothed things over.

"I see! Their bond must be truly deep. It was I who misspoke. Please, Sir, don’t hold it against me."

"And to the two Protectors, please forgive me as well!"

But as they spoke, none of them noticed Bai Chaosi walking beside them. When he heard the words "deeply in love,"...

...his back unconsciously went rigid.

His steps grew heavier, and even the hands hidden inside his sleeves clenched into tight fists.

Xiao Ya, however, who was right beside him, let out a sharp sigh of relief.

She had never imagined that the two people who appeared in her courtyard yesterday were from the Flood Dragon Clan.

’The Flood Dragon Clan! They’re the noblest of the Beast Clans in the entire Beast World. If that woman was really trying to steal Bai Chaosi from me, how could I possibly compete?’

But now she’d heard that the man with the powerful aura was actually a hideous freak, and the woman was merely that freak’s Female Master.

The anxiety that had been building up in her heart instantly dissipated.

Just then, Wu Huo continued,

"No offense can be taken when none was intended, Hu City Lord. You’re being too formal. My subordinate’s Female Master also wears a veil because of issues with her appearance. I hope the City Lord doesn’t mind."

Hu Tu was surprised to hear this. He hadn’t expected that the woman in red before him, who had such a beautiful pair of eyes, was also too hideous to show her face.

Still, he wouldn’t dare say another word. He quickly replied,

"Oh, Sir, you flatter me! Why would I ever mind!"

"Since it’s inconvenient for the young lady, please, keep the veil on. Feel free, make yourselves at home. Once you’re in the City Lord Mansion, treat it as your own home. Don’t stand on ceremony!"

Hearing this, Xiao Ya’s heart settled completely.

’So after all that, this woman covers herself up and acts all mysterious just because she’s too ugly to show her face?’

’How could someone as ethereal as an Immortal like Bai Chaosi ever care about an ugly woman?’

’It seems I was getting worked up over her for nothing.’
