Sell her as a slave?
The young human girl, already beaten and covered in bruises, trembled upon hearing this.
Though born poor, she was at least a free person.
If she beca a slave, she would end up being a captive of the Half-Beasts or Beastn, a fate worse than death.
"No, please don’t sell , my mother is very ill. If I can’t return, she will die," the little girl, seemingly finding strength from nowhere, broke free from the Half-Beasts’ grasp.
Desperately, she sprinted into the crowd.
Unfortunately, due to her young age and injuries, she stumbled after just a few steps.
Unexpectedly, she didn’t fall to the ground but onto soone’s embrace.
This person lacked the usual pungent odor of Half-Beasts, instead giving off a faint fragrance.
"You have no choice, being a thief," the Half-Beast doctor said impatiently, watching as the human girl fell into an onlooker’s arms and stepped forward to catch her.
"Please, don’t hand over, I don’t want to be a slave," the little girl, clinging to her last lifeline, refused to let go.
"Rest assured, I won’t hand you over," a pleasant voice drifted from above.
Through tear-filled eyes, the girl looked up.
She saw a smiling face, a human woman’s face.
"Impertinent, ddling in the clinic’s affairs. Do you know the doctor and the Town Mayor are brothers sworn in blood? Quickly hand over the thief in your arms. What are these guards even useful for, letting humans in so casually," the Half-Beast doctor said disdainfully, finding the other person was also human.
"If my eyesight isn’t failing , this little girl hasn’t stolen anything of yours. On what grounds do you sell her to pay debts?" Yun Sheng gave the Half-Beast doctor a hard look.
Yun Sheng sighed inwardly, such bad luck, even drinking water made her choke. Originally, she didn’t want to ddle, but she couldn’t bear to see such an obedient little girl being sold as a slave, holding the girl tighter in her arms.
The words of the girl reminded Yun Sheng of her situation at six or seven years old. Back then, in Banana Leaf Village, she was also alone, relying on her father.
But compared to this pitiful human girl, she was luckier. At least most villagers and the village chief in Banana Leaf Village took care of her, and there was no discrimination against humans on Wuji Continent.
"Then I’ll sell you together with her! Soone, tie these two won up and send them to the slave market," the Half-Beast doctor, emboldened by his ties with Town Mayor Hu Yixue, grew even more fearless.
Behind him, several fierce-looking Half-Beasts charged forward.
"Well, you asked for it. Little girl, close your eyes," Yun Sheng sighed softly.
Her voice, like possessing an invisible magic power, made the trembling little girl close her eyes instinctively.
The girl felt a gust of wind by her ears, as if she was being lifted into the air.
Following that, ca a series of agonized cries.
The Half-Beast doctor stood dumbfounded, witnessing an incredible scene.
The seemingly frail human woman vanished suddenly.
She appeared again, with agonized screams echoing continuously.
The Half-Beasts intending to capture Yun Sheng and the human girl saw a flash of blood before their eyes. Simultaneously, they felt sharp pain in their arms, and upon realization, their arms had been severed, the dismbered limbs rolling on the ground.
The scene was both terrifying and grueso.
Hearing those screams, the girl in Yun Sheng’s arms couldn’t help but shiver.
Those who had been besieging the human woman fell silent, their eyes filled with fear, staring at Yun Sheng.
The woman remained where she stood, and if not for the severed limbs on the ground, no one would believe she had moved at all.
"You! Are you a Heavenly Fox or a human?" the Half-Beast doctor, shocked beyond belief, pointed at Yun Sheng as if he’d seen a ghost.
Though she appeared to be a human, her skills were terrifying.
Such power fluctuations were usually seen in those very powerful Pureblood Sky Foxes.
Being able to freely enter and exit the town, with such formidable strength, yet judging by appearance and scent, she was unmistakably a human.
"Considering you are a doctor, I’ll spare your hands," Yun Sheng held the girl tightly without glancing at the Half-Beast doctor, and left gracefully.
"We’ll see, dare to harm the clinic’s people, I’ll make you pay," the Half-Beast doctor sneered.
Earlier, the girl had stolen dicinal herbs containing a special herb, its scent lasting seven days and nights. Following the scent, he was sure to find the woman who attacked.
The Half-Beast doctor hurried to the Town Mayor’s residence, seeking aid from Hu Yixue.
"What? A human woman attacked the clinic’s people?" Hu Yixue had been closely monitoring Yun Sheng.
However, Yun Sheng’s cautious behavior had kept his Hidden Guards from gathering any information or discerning whether she was a Pureblood Sky Fox or human.
Thus, the matter had been dragged on.
Yet today, that woman had clashed with the clinic staff.
The town knew the Half-Beast doctor of the clinic was sworn brothers with Hu Yixue, and no one dared provoke the clinic.
"So you know this woman, eh? Hmph, she is undoubtedly a human, lacking a Pureblood Sky Fox aura," the Half-Beast doctor insisted.
"Oh, are you certain?" Hu Yixue listened with skepticism.
If she were truly human, could she injure several Half-Beast Warriors so swiftly?
"Brother, don’t you trust ? My nose is famously accurate, even blindfolded, I can identify species by scent. Plus, I found her aura unfamiliar, maybe she’s not from Bahuang Continent," the Half-Beast doctor added, fearing Hu Yixue’s disbelief.
Not from Bahuang Continent, could it be she was from Wuji Continent? It’s said Wuji Continent Masters rival the pure-blooded Beastn of the Eight Desolates.
If she is indeed a Wuji Continent human spy, capturing her would be a major achievent.
"In any case, attacking Half-Beasts in Crescent Spring Town is a capital offense. Investigate the identity and background of the human girl, I want to wipe out these despicable humans," Hu Yixue’s eyes glead with a bloodthirsty killing intent.
