Chapter 28

“I still prefer the way you call me master, Candace.”

Ye Chen put the deer leg beside his mouth aside and looked at the people who had suddenly appeared and asked, “These people, what the hell are they?”

Candace smiled slightly, bit her sexy lips, and said, “They are here for the Universal Love Scepter.”

Ye Chen said helplessly, “It is just a fire stick. If they want it, then just give it to them.”

Candace responded with an ‘oh’.

She obediently threw the Universal Love Scepter onto the ground in front of Grace and said nonchalantly, “If you want it, then I will give it to you.”

Grace frowned and looked at Candace, then at the little purple-gold lizard behind her. She said speechlessly, “Is there something wrong with your brain?”

“Candace, I did not expect that you, who had the strongest faith among the candidates, would turn your back on the church.”

“It seems like the holy church is indeed like what my father said. It is about to rot!”

The young Knight on the side slightly narrowed his eyes as he looked at Ye Chen and said, “Purple-gold scale armor, a beast that speaks the human language? You are a Saint Beast from the Shadow Elf race, right?”

Ye Chen glanced at him, not even bothering to answer.

That Knight unhappily said, “Although I don’t know why Candace regards you as her master, I advise you to mind your own business! Otherwise, you will bring disaster to your people!”

Ye Chen raised his eyes and asked Candace, “Who is he? Why is he so arrogant?”

Candace said with a bit of worry, “Master, he is the bastard son of Duke Warren, Sawyer.”

The young Knight named Sawyer seemed to have been hit by a nerve. He pointed at Candace and said, “I am his second son, not some bastard son. You are looking for death!”

Ye Chen looked at the young knight who was going crazy with laughter.

“The Duke’s illegitimate son? Interesting. You don’t really think you can leave this place alive, do you?”

Sawyer frowned and teased, “What? Do you really dare to attack me? Even if I am my father’s… second son, for the sake of the family’s reputation, he will definitely avenge me!”

“By then, all the women of your elf clan will be sold into the empire’s brothels, and all the men will be thrown into the mines. Do you believe me?”

“Even your Queen will be trampled by my father until she… dies…”

Before he could finish cursing, Sawyer clutched his chest with a twisted expression, unable to say another word.

Ye Chen slowly pulled his tail from Sawyer’s chest and said disdainfully, “Did the elf race offend you? I really don’t understand what the humans of your world are thinking.”

Sawyer twitched and slowly kneeled on the ground.

Even until his death, he still did not understand why that little lizard dared to make a move. Was he really not afraid of his father’s revenge?

“My… my father is… er… a Duke of the empire…”

‘Plop!’ Sawyer fell to the ground, completely dead.

Facing this sudden change, Grace and the other two Knights were all dumbfounded.

Only Candace looked at Ye Chen with a worried expression.

Following that, the two Guardian Knights who knew that they were going to die were the first to lose control of their fear and charged toward Ye Chen.

Ye Chen looked at the two Bronze Knights who were charging towards him aggressively and curled his lips in disdain.

Right now, an opponent of this level was not enough to arouse his interest.

The rookie gene was instantly activated, and the huge pressure directly pressed Grace onto the ground.

The huge ball in front of her chest was also instantly flattened, and even her eyelids could not move.

All that was left was an indescribable fear in her eyes.

The two Bronze Knights also kneeled on the ground with despair on their faces. They struggled to get up, but could not.

Ye Chen was very satisfied with the effect of the pressure.

However, this kind of power was not very useful.

Facing someone weaker than him, even without the pressure, he could still easily take care of them.

However, facing someone stronger than him, this thing would not be able to increase his battle power at all. Therefore, he would have to fight with his life.

After taking care of the two Knights one by one, he would also eat Sawyer.

Only then did Ye Chen release his pressure.

Grace was like a drowning fish, gasping for air as she tried to run away.

However, as soon as Ye Chen gave her a look, she did not dare to move at all.

She kneeled on the ground and started to beg.

“Saint Beast, I did not want to come. I was only coerced by Sawyer. Please believe me, I am willing to be like Candace and treat you as my master!”

Candace did not say a word. She just stood by Ye Chen’s side.

Ye Chen did not say anything else. Instead, he started to ask questions.

At first, Grace wanted to lie, but after being slapped by Ye Chen with her tail, she could only tell the truth.

A moment later, Ye Chen looked at the map on the ground. He finally understood why Grace and the others were able to find him.

It turned out that the two most promising candidates for the Saintess selection this time were Candace and Grace.

Unlike Candace, who had been an orphan since she was young, Grace was considered a descendant of the royal family.

Although her status was not high, she still knew a lot of secrets.

Being chosen as the candidate for the Saintess selection this time, she was naturally determined to get the position of Saintess.

After completing her not-so-difficult trial early, she followed the trail left by Candace’s guardian Knight and arrived nearby.

It was also through her description that Ye Chen and Candace found out that one of the three Guardian Knights who had been loyal to her to the death had also betrayed her and become Grace’s spy.

However, since he was already dead, naturally no one would pursue his matter anymore.

So, they searched around for six or seven days and finally found the entrance that was smashed open by Ye Chen.

And then, here we are.

Looking at Grace, who was trembling slightly on the ground, she was very well-built and very good-looking.

However, Ye Chen had no intention of taking her as a slave. Instead, he spat out a mouthful of poisonous fog and turned her into a pool of rotting water.

“What are your plans next?”

Ye Chen asked Candace, who was washing the deer’s legs.

Candace did not hesitate at all and answered directly, “Master, I will do as you say.”

Ye Chen let out a soft ‘hmm’.

After thinking carefully for a while, he finally made a decision.

“How about this? After I finish hunting the demonic beasts here, I will send you back to the human territory.

“After that, you take that fire stick and go be a saintess for a while. At the same time, you can help me keep an eye on the situation in the empire, especially that of Duke Warren.

“As for how we should contact each other, we will talk about it when we send you out.”

Candace nodded obediently.

She said with a bit of reluctance, “Then master, when can I serve you?”

Hearing that, Ye Chen chuckled, “What? Are you itching again?”

Candace’s face instantly turned red. She shook her head and said coquettishly, “No, that’s not what I meant. I’m seriously asking you again!”

Ye Chen also did not know when he would be able to sneak into the human countries with his human body.

Therefore, he only said, “Let’s talk about it later.”

Candace answered seriously.

“Yes, master.”

“Oh right, master, what is that light shadow that I have… with me?”

Ye Chen sighed, “That is me. But right now, I still have something to do, and I will need to maintain this form for a while.”

Candace thought of that handsome human light shadow that was riding on her body and looked at the cute purple-gold lizard beside her.

She could only say regretfully, “Yes, master….”
