Chapter 398 Crisis Awareness
The woman suddenly regretted what she had done. She wept with sorrowful eyes, "Hongxiu, I am sorry for you. It is my fault."
In the past, whenever she was sad, her daughter would come to comfort her, but this time she covered her face and cried for a long time, until she slowly raised her head when her breathing became irregular. Only then did she see that Shang Hongxiu's eyes were extremely cold, and her red pupils were like a wild beast about to be released from a cage. Her heart trembled violently.
"Hongxiu, don't get excited. I'll ask them to release your master right now. You wait for your mother to come back." The woman hurried in one direction, fearing that if she was a second late, her daughter would massacre the whole city.
As for Wang Zhong, he was now pretending to be dead. He finally realized that he had offended someone he shouldn't have offended. As long as he was strong enough, any threat would seem like a joke, so he now only hoped that Shang Hongxiu wouldn't notice him curled up on the ground.
Shang Hongxiu really didn't have the time to pay attention to Wang Zhong, so she followed him quietly.
"Master, something bad has happened!" the woman shouted into the house from a distance.
At this time, Shang Fuqiu was drinking tea with his other three sons.
Shang Fuqiu, who was sitting in the main seat, looked very high-spirited, "With this monster in hand, there is no need to worry about not accomplishing great things, hahahahaha."
Shang Jiansan still had that indifferent face, but he frowned slightly when he heard Shang Fuqiu's self-righteous words. For some reason, he had been uneasy ever since he caught the fox demon, and now the sense of crisis was even stronger.
He looked outside the door and saw that his useless second brother had not returned yet. He couldn't help but worry whether something had happened.
Shang Jiansan, the one with the greatest martial arts talent in the family and also known as a sword maniac, is usually obsessed with swordsmanship and doesn't care about family affairs at all. Family meetings like this are just for the sake of making up the numbers.
But this time he couldn't sit still. Being very sensitive to danger, he could feel it. The feeling of being stared at by an unknown and terrifying thing made him tremble all over.
"Dad, is it inappropriate for us to do this?" Shang Jiansan couldn't help but ask.
Before Shang Fuqiu could answer his question, the third brother sitting next to him patted him on the shoulder.
"Fourth brother, why are you still trying to be so mean? We have the right time, right place, and right people, and we have this fox demon in our hands. No matter how powerful my little sister is, she can't cause any trouble.
"Just wait for our father to sit on the one-in-a-million dragon throne. We will also become the nobles of heaven. Why are you still practicing your sword all day? Look, you have become stupid now."
Shang Jiansan impatiently slapped the third brother's hand away and looked at the fox demon who was caught but was not panicked at all and even had the mind to sleep.
From the outside, it was clearly just an ordinary fox, not as strong and powerful as the monsters that had appeared before, but every time he looked at it, he felt a chill in his heart.
Shang Chunqiu also spoke slowly, "Fourth brother, you worry too much. I am just a woman after all. I was the envoy who persuaded the demon tribe to withdraw their troops, and that is how I got my current status.
"But the remnants of the Pingtian Sect she left behind are more dangerous than the demon tribe. That's why Dad stepped in to appease the remnants for my little sister. Now that it has come to this, Dad has no choice. You've grown up, so you should think more about the family."
Shang Jiansan was about to speak when a burst of laughter interrupted him, "Hahahahahaha, you are worthy of being my favorite son, Chunqiu. I will have to rely on you to take care of things in the future."
