"You little bastard, you actually dared spit on me. If Lord Situ hadn't ordered us to keep you alive to refine you into a Human-shaped Soldier, I would've gutted you long ago. I'll shove a few more Elixir Pills down your throat, drain you dry and pour metal into you, then we'll see how cocky you still act."
The newcomer was exactly that Manager from the City Lord's Mansion who'd tried to extort fifty thousand Spirit Stones earlier.
Cursing nonstop, he wiped the spit off his face with his sleeve.
Human-shaped Soldiers?
Judging by what he said, could those neither-human-nor-ghost monsters in the courtyard last night all have been refined from living people?
That unlucky bastard from Lonely Moon Sea was going to be refined into that kind of freak too?
Little Zhiyo's eyes rolled, and it shuddered hard.
"Bunny, target found. Follow him."
After that Manager walked past, Little Zhiyo and Little Evil Rabbit slipped after him.
