Chapter 59 The demon hunter is not getting rid of demons (19)
After hearing Shi Sui's request, Bu Yuchuan and his son did not respond for a long time.
They had been so complacent for so long that they almost forgot how they had searched the world for a demon exorcist. Their excuse was that "Princess Wenzhu was suffering from lovesickness and wanted to see the Nine Cloud Fox Demon for the last time, so they had to bring him here to apologize to Princess Wenzhu in person."
But in fact, what they father and son were planning in secret was to lock up the Nine-Spirited Fox Demon immediately after luring him here, and then use the monster contract to threaten him.
As for Princess Wenzhu herself... they have already forgotten about her.
Shisui noticed their panic and deliberately brought up the topic again and again.
"My lords, why do you seem to be hiding something? I'd love to receive the gold bars and glass beads, and I'd also like to put an end to this matter as quickly as possible. Do you have any remedies that could help Princess Wenzhu wake up? Even if it only takes a few days."
"My aunt has been in a coma for half a year. She might be in a coma for a while..." Bu Yuchuan hesitated, feeling guilty. "Let's talk to the doctor first..."
"Then I will wait patiently for good news. I've been traveling for several days and I'm tired. Lord City Lord, the guest room I'm staying in should be the same one as before, right?"
"Ah... yes..." The city lord didn't care about these trivial matters, so he could only respond casually.
"Then I'll go down and rest first."
Shisui bowed and saluted, then walked out of the hall with a swagger.
He was clearly still half a prisoner when he went in, and only exchanged a few words inside, but now that he's out, he's completely in control...
Even the soldiers guarding outside the door were stunned!
After Bu Yuchuan watched her leave, he always felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it carefully, he finally realized it.
He slapped his thigh and said, "Oh no! Dad! We were fooled by that woman!"
The city lord was still bewildered: "How did I get fooled?"
"Whether Auntie wakes up or not is completely unimportant! Even though Auntie can't hear my apology, as long as Nine Cloud Fox Demon's people arrive, her intentions will be there, right? We just need to trick Nine Cloud Fox Demon's true form into coming here! We have the contract in hand, so what is there to be afraid of?!"
What Bu Yuchuan said was absolutely correct. They were all led by Shi Sui just now.
Shi Sui used the tactic of using speed to defeat slowness, taking full advantage of their guilty consciences, and only then was she able to turn the situation around. If she had been even a step later, she would have been caught by Bu Yuchuan, who had suddenly come to her senses.
Bu Yuchuan wanted to immediately order the capture of Shi Sui.
But he was stopped by the city lord.
Although he is a fence-sitter and has no ability, he still has some feelings for his sister who has helped him so much and feels guilty.
The city lord sipped his tea and sighed, "Forget it, forget it. Let your aunt finally have one last thought before she dies. As for raising an army, we can wait until we're more fully prepared. It doesn't matter if it's a little later."
"Father!" Bu Yuchuan was deeply indignant. "If my aunt really wakes up, who knows what will happen!... Or maybe, why not just go all out and give my aunt another strong dose of medicine? Once she passes away, won't that give us a better excuse to call that Nine Cloud Fox Demon here to apologize in front of her spirit tablet?"
"Ridiculous!!! That's your aunt! I didn't approve of you using drugs to knock her out. Now what, you're not even going to let go of a dying person? Are you going to treat your father like this in the future?!"
The city lord slammed the teacup in his hand onto the table, and the tea spilled all over the floor.
"I have made up my mind on this matter. You just need to keep an eye on the demon hunter. As for Princess Wenzhu's illness, please don't interfere anymore!"
The city lord has doted on this proud and arrogant child since he was young, giving him the most love and being reluctant to hit or scold him.
Without his knowledge, Bu Yuchuan had drugged Princess Wenzhu without his permission. The city lord was furious when he found out, but gradually he was persuaded by Bu Yuchuan's plan to dominate the Western Regions. He felt that Princess Wenzhu was only unconscious and not in danger of death, so he reluctantly allowed his son to die.
The city lord's evil was limited. He didn't have much ability, he would be tempted and selfish, but his humanity wasn't completely gone, and he would occasionally feel a pang of conscience... Shi Sui was sure of this, so she boldly put pressure on him.
Today, the conflicting emotions that had been accumulating over the years burst out, and he couldn't help but get angry and point at his son's nose to teach him a lesson.
In fact, the city lord’s tone was not that serious, but to Bu Yuchuan, who was used to being arrogant, he felt like he was being scolded to death!
He was not convinced and felt very aggrieved, so he confronted his father in person...
After the two parted on bad terms, the furious Bu Yuchuan returned to his dormitory and began to inflict mental violence on his wife Bai again.
"Father is really getting old and confused! Compared to an old woman's life and the important matter of sending troops to war, which is more important? Even a blind man can see that!"
"My Lord, please have a cup of tea first to calm down."
Bai silently handed him the teacup, but Bu Yuchuan picked it up with one hand and threw it to the ground with a bang!
He continued to curse, "Drink tea, drink tea! You only know how to drink tea like my father! What's the point?! If you're wasting your time serving tea, you might as well go to that lousy demon exorcist's room and keep an eye on it for me!!"
"……yes."
Bai responded obediently, asked the servants to come and clean up the mess on the ground, and then quietly left.
She no longer lay on the ground begging for her husband's forgiveness like she used to, and her voice didn't even sound very emotional.
Ever since Bu Yuchuan asked her to reveal the military strength and defense layout of Dayan City, her mother's hometown, Bai's heart has been half dead.
But Bu Yuchuan didn't notice anything, nor did he care.
In his heart, his wife is just a tool for bearing children. She is an existence that will revolve around him, always prostrating herself on the ground to worship him and obey all his orders.
…
"Sir Demon Exorcist, excuse me for disturbing you."
Although Bai was reluctant, she still came to find Shi Sui in order to prevent Bu Yuchuan from nagging her.
Shi Sui was taking off her coat and preparing to rest.
She heard Bai's voice outside the door and had to jump up.
As soon as the door opened, Shi Sui felt distressed by Bai's haggard appearance.
After not seeing her for more than ten days, her face was pale and white, her eyes were bloodshot and lifeless, and her body seemed to be thinner.
She is already more than 6 months pregnant. This is not an option.
Shisui poured her a glass of water and asked with concern, "General's wife, what's wrong with you? Haven't you been sleeping well recently?"
"It's okay," Bai forced a weak smile and said, "I just came to see if you need anything, my Lord. Just tell me."
Shisui felt uncomfortable watching this.
She didn't need to guess, she knew that Bai must have been tortured by Bu Yuchuan again.
Shi Sui held her hand and said, "Madam General, although I have never given birth, I know that pregnant mothers are particularly prone to sadness. You might as well tell me what's in your heart. Perhaps you will feel better after you tell me."
