Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Hand-drawn Sun, Sam’s Mentality Explodes, Too Heretical
"Xiaoya, is that what you really think?"
The old village chief’s eyes widened in disbelief.
He had decided to marry her off to Sam for his daughter’s happiness and for the good of all of Sealed Soul Village.
He never imagined it would instead nearly push her into a bottomless abyss.
All the villagers panicked, too.
"Don’t do anything drastic, Xiaoya!"
"Sigh... I told you this marriage wouldn’t work. Marrying Xiaoya off to a Westerner was a rotten idea from the start."
"We won’t do it! We won’t! Just please, don’t let anything happen to you. You’re the only Crimson-robed Ghost in our village."
"They’re all good kids. Chief, please don’t make things difficult for them."
Hearing their words, Xiaoya gave a bitter smile and nodded. "I don’t know how she knew what was in my heart... but yes, it’s true."
"I also know that we, Sealed Soul Village, can’t afford to provoke that manor."
"So, I will go through with the marriage as you wish. But frankly, if I have to truly become his wife, I would rather die."
The old village chief fell silent.
A complicated look appeared in his eyes.
He then turned his head to Sam, who was exploding with rage and cursing everyone. "Mr. Sam, you heard her. I’m afraid this wedding is off."
"Why don’t you rest for a bit? I will accompany you to the manor later to apologize to your father."
’The wedding’s off?’
’His perfect plan, ruined just like that!’
Sam was filled with fury. His passable features twisted with rage, and his deformed shoulder rose and fell slightly as he trembled, looking like a nauseatingly ugly tumor.
Even the air around him seemed to freeze with his anger.
A suffocating pressure filled the atmosphere.
"Damn it, I’ll kill you all—"
Before he said that, Sam subconsciously glanced around.
He noticed that monster hadn’t followed them here.
’And this is inside the village!’
’That Kuku definitely won’t dare to cry, or he’ll get everyone killed.’
’The little girl Meimei and that fatso are no threat.’
’The only one who’s a bit of a threat now is that skinny little boy.’
’The heavens are helping me!’
’Once I kill this bunch of brats, no one will be able to stop me!’
"Mr. William, Mr. Henry... I’ll leave it to you."
"Get rid of these little shits first. I’ll explain the reason to my father."
"And if anyone else tries to stop my wedding, kill them too!"
Sam said to the figures behind him.
Two strange figures quickly emerged from the shadows.
Mr. William was the bodyguard his father had assigned him. After all, Sam was his own flesh and blood. Given Sam’s knack for getting into trouble, he would’ve been dealt with long ago without a bodyguard.
And Mr. Henry was the ghost master of ceremonies for this wedding.
He had also been arranged by his father, the Marquis.
Both of them possessed power at the Evil Star level or higher.
William was a low-level Evil Star, and Henry was a mid-level Evil Star.
Using them to deal with a bunch of little kids was like using a cannon to shoot a mosquito!
At this moment, facing Sam’s fury, the old village chief was filled with regret.
If he had known Sam was so vicious, he never would have agreed to marry his daughter to him.
He sighed deeply and hurriedly said to Yun Zhenyue, "You all need to go. Now."
"Take Xiaoya with you. I’ll hold him off for you."
He could tell that this human girl was the backbone of the group of children.
’This group of kids probably isn’t that strong. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have chosen to secretly dig a tunnel to get Xiaoya out.’
"Hmph. Hold me off?"
Sam revealed a cold, sinister smile.
"With just you lot? A bunch of ignorant fools."
’Just as I thought! It still comes down to solving things with force.’
Yun Zhenyue’s gaze was fixed on the two strange figures beside Sam.
’I can’t let the children fall into danger. I guess I have to call the little paper people? Or... Yuan? No, better not. I can’t predict Yuan’s actions. He’d probably kill everyone here.’
Just at that critical moment,
Meimei grabbed Yun Zhenyue’s arm and whispered, "Big Sis, don’t worry. Let Shoushou handle it."
"If he can’t, I’m still here. Dealing with these two weirdos is a piece of cake."
After saying that, Meimei gestured to Shoushou beside her. "You’re up. Try to be reliable for once!"
The kids weren’t panicking at all.
They were all high-level Evil Stars.
Any one of them could have suppressed Sam and his bodyguards.
They had only chosen to dig a tunnel because they were too playful.
It didn’t mean they lacked the strength for a direct confrontation.
"Don’t worry!"
"I’ll definitely be reliable this time!"
Shoushou patted his chest, making a guarantee.
"This—"
The old village chief saw that the children were unwilling to leave. Xiaoya was also preparing to fight to the death. He just felt mentally exhausted, his heart filled with bitterness.
’This group of kids wants to take on two Evil Stars? So naive! They probably have no idea how strong an Evil Star is. All the villagers of Sealed Soul Village, plus him, a top-tier Fierce Ghost, wouldn’t be enough for an Evil Star to crush with a single finger. Forget fighting them; just escaping would require immense luck.’
"Sigh..."
William, standing beside Sam, sighed condescendingly.
His blood-red eyes stared at the children.
He hadn’t wanted to act, since the Marquis’s mission for him was simply to protect Sam. Even if they ran away, he could have turned a blind eye and deliberately let them go.
But since they had chosen to be his enemy, he had no choice.
William glanced pityingly at Shoushou, who was holding a paintbrush.
’This child. Is he their only hope? Then let me be the one to utterly destroy him!’
HUM!
In front of everyone!
William’s body rippled for a moment, and then his figure vanished.
Invisibility is a basic ability of the Blood Race.
As long as there are shadows, he can travel through them!
Yun Zhenyue could see something strange and sinister leaping between the villagers’ shadows.
It was as if something was rapidly hurtling toward them!
Her intuition screamed danger!
"Mr. William, it’s all up to you." Sam was very confident, as if he could already see William slaughtering them all!
But just then!
Meimei urged, "That vampire freak is coming!"
"He’s hiding in the shadows! If you draw a lamp, you can expose him. Or draw anything that gives off light. Anything will do, the brighter the better!"
"Big Sis, what’s the brightest thing you know?"
’What’s the brightest thing?’
Yun Zhenyue said subconsciously, "The sun, I guess."
Hearing this, Shoushou was struck by inspiration!
He sketched rapidly on his drawing paper, then reached his hand into it!
He pulled out something bizarre!
In an instant!
An intensely hot light blazed forth!
Everyone instinctively covered their eyes.
And with it came the sound of a baby’s giggle.
That happy, joyful giggle was like the whisper of an ancient god.
It caught William completely off guard!
The Blood Race fears light. Hiding in the shadows to ambush Shoushou, William was seared at point-blank range by the scorching light!
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
BANG!
He came tumbling out of the shadow nearest to Shoushou.
"My eyes! My eyes!!!"
William shrieked miserably, rolling on the ground as beads of blood trickled from his blood-red eyes!
The intense pain was like a thousand needles stabbing into his eyes.
"This is..."
Yun Zhenyue’s eye twitched.
She looked at the "sun" Shoushou had drawn.
Isn’t that the baby sun from Teletubbies?
’I just answered subconsciously. Did he really draw the sun?!’
At that moment, everyone was stunned!
The old village chief rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
He thought his old eyes were playing tricks on him.
All the villagers started murmuring, wondering what the hell that thing was.
Xiaoya was completely shocked!
’He forced a Blood Race Evil Star out of hiding with just a single drawing! That’s enough to show how terrifyingly powerful this little boy is. Could he be an Evil Star too? And to be able to command these terrifying children... What kind of power and background does the girl named Yun Zhenyue have? No wonder they were so relaxed earlier.’
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"How about it? Bright enough, right? The sun you wanted, Big Sis!"
Shoushou said proudly, holding up his paintbrush.
"You call that a sun?" Meimei was speechless.
Only Sam’s eyes were wide, his mind completely blown.
’William might not be as strong as Henry, but he’s still a low-level Evil Star! He got one-shotted just like that? And what the hell is this little sun thing? It was even more bizarre than the items in his own collection!’
