The Ninth Sister is a Prodigious Beast Master

Chapter 1526: Chapter 1526: Friends or Master?

Hearing this voice, Zhuu Shu’s tears came forth, and he murmured, “Father!”

Beiting Huang finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this Domain Lord did indeed harbor some parental affection, not as she had feared—that his kindness towards Zhuu Shu was merely for show!

“Father!”

Zhuu Shu’s cry, with all his might, startled almost everyone around him into jumping.

At this moment, guards from the Domain Lord’s Mansion had already rushed out with their weapons drawn. Upon seeing Zhuu Shu, they were all stunned, with eyes nearly popping out, in disbelief. Was this their Young Master? Wasn’t he dead?

The coffin on the dais was swiftly carried away, and footsteps could be heard crossing the courtyard, rushing outwards. Soon, a dark figure appeared before everyone; he stood underneath the porch eaves, glancing at Zhuu Shu. After confirming it was Zhuu Shu, he threw himself towards him, “Shu’er!”

...

This was Zhuu Shu’s father, resembling his son to some extent. But this man was obviously much more burly than Zhuu Shu, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, an authority belonging to someone of high rank between his brows.

He was now holding Zhuu Shu tightly, eyes closed, and amidst so many onlookers, tears streamed down from his closed eyes, “I knew it, my Shu’er would not die! Hahaha, my Shu’er has returned!”

Behind this man, two figures hurried out. They were two women, each dressed in plain clothes and wearing simple bead flowers on their heads, attired as if mourning. Both women were comely, and now they looked at Zhuu Shu with eyes as if they’d seen a ghost. Even upon getting a clear view of Zhuu Shu’s face, they were so frightened that they simultaneously stepped back.

“How is this possible?” One of the women, who appeared more distinguished, said in disbelief.

Zhuu Shu looked faintly at this woman and called out, “Mother!”

“Hahaha!” The Domain Lord could not contain his joy and looked towards Beiting Huang and the others, “Shu’er, won’t you introduce your friends to your father?”

“Father, this is I…” Zhuu Shu began with pride to introduce Beiting Huang to the Domain Lord, but he was cut off by Beiting Huang, “Domain Lord, I have long admired you. This humble one, Huang Jiu, is a friend of Zhuu Shu!”

He had just made enemies with the people of the Spirit Realm under the identity of Beiting Huang and therefore temporarily concealed his own.

“Prince Huang the Ninth…”

“Father!”

A familiar voice came from the crowd, Zhuu Hua leaped down from her silver-horned horse, parting the crowd as she walked towards the entrance of the Domain Lord’s Mansion. Disregarding her father’s frown of displeasure at her behavior, she pointed at Beiting Huang and said, “Father, please excuse your daughter’s rudeness. This Lord Huang Jiu is not Zhuu Shu’s friend, but the master he has acknowledged. He is actually willing to be a servant to another!”

Boom!

The moment these words were uttered, the entrance of the City Lord’s Mansion erupted like a boiling cauldron. All the onlookers from the Dark Demon Domain now looked at Zhuu Shu with unforgiving eyes. He was their Young Master; how could he serve another as a servant? Even if he were worthless, he shouldn’t stoop to being someone’s servant!

The Domain Lord looked at Zhuu Shu, disbelief in his eyes, seeking an answer on his son’s face. If only Zhuu Shu would stand up and say a single “No,” he would be able to believe in his son.

But Zhuu Shu lowered his head instead; he had actually admitted it!

“Hmph!” A cold snort came, carrying an invisible pressure that made everyone wake up, all eyes turning to Beiting Huang. His sharp eyes shot towards Zhuu Hua like arrows, “When I, the Master, say Zhuu Shu is my friend, he is my friend. This world has yet to see anyone dare to question the Master’s word. Today, I would like to see whether the people of the Dark Demon Domain would believe the words of this woman, who is hell-bent on harming her own brother, or the word of the Master!”
