The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

The man standing before Fengying was none other than Shadow, leader of the renowned "Shadow" organization. His eyes widened as he shouted, "Can't I, Shadow, even support my own sister? You're actually asking me to sell myself out for survival? Is this what you call a path of self-selection? Then what was the point of all my struggles over the years? If I had known this would happen, wouldn't it have been much easier for us siblings to simply sell ourselves into slavery?"

Shadow's black robe rustled, and he exuded a terrifyingly powerful aura, worthy of being the overlord who commanded the dark forces.

Fengying bit her lower lip, trying hard to suppress the fear in her heart, and still said stubbornly: "How can this be compared? I don't want to hide under your protection forever, like a bird in a cage, and finally have to obey the arrangement to marry a stranger. I really like this kind of free life where I can control my own destiny." As she spoke, she unconsciously lowered her voice because she was afraid that Ru Yue who was in the room would hear her. If Ru Yue knew the truth, she would most likely send her back to "Shadow".

Shadow snorted coldly when he heard this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he threatened coldly: "In this case, I will kill this woman named Ru Yue and see if you dare to continue to venture out there." His tone was extremely cold, without the slightest hint of joking.

Fengying's heart tightened. She knew that with Shadow's unwavering character and ruthless methods, if she persisted, he would undoubtedly order the execution of Ru Yue, the young master. However, she was unwilling to give up her hard-earned freedom at this moment. For a moment, Fengying was caught in a dilemma, unsure of what to do...

Before she could offer any words of dissuasion, the tightly closed door suddenly creaked open and slowly slid open. Then, a cool breeze blew in, and a woman with elegant demeanor and a beautiful face emerged from the room. Upon closer inspection, she saw it was none other than Ru Yue. While everyone's attention was focused on Ru Yue, no one noticed that a tall figure had quietly stood on the other side of the main room.

"Is this how 'Shadow' does business?" Ru Yue's clear and pleasant voice was heard, but there was not a trace of fear in her voice. On the contrary, it was filled with mockery and disdain.

As soon as these words fell, Fengying and An'er instantly moved as if they were facing a formidable enemy, quickly moving to stand in front of Ruyue. They were seen gripping their swords tightly, staring at the mysterious figure with nervous expressions, fearing that he would suddenly attack Ruyue.

At this moment, An Ying had a cold expression on his face, not wanting to argue with Ru Yue about who was right or wrong. His purpose for coming here was very clear and simple, which was to take his sister Feng Ying away.

However, Fengying turned around abruptly upon hearing this. Her beautiful eyes were now looking at Ruyue with pleading eyes. Her lips trembled slightly as she said, "Girl, I..." The words were choked in her throat before she could finish them.

She truly didn't know how to explain all this to Ruyue. After all, she had deliberately concealed her true identity when she came here, especially since she hadn't officially acknowledged her master yet. Now, facing such a powerful figure like Shadow, she was terrified that Ruyue would abandon her out of fear of provoking such a troublesome figure.

Ru Yue never glanced at the woman, not even for a moment. Her icy gaze remained fixed on the stern-faced man before her. Although she could understand his eagerness as a brother to protect his sister, she could not tolerate him using his strength and the razor-sharp sword in his hand to coerce and bribe her into submission.

She raised her chin slightly, looked at him with a firm and unflinching gaze, and slowly said, "What if I don't agree?"

When Fengying heard this, she let out a long sigh, as if a huge rock had finally fallen from her heart. Her previously calm eyes were now filled with a faint warmth.

The girl hadn't chosen her easily out of fear of her brother, but the next second, she felt a strong, almost suffocating, murderous aura coming towards her. Her heartstrings, which had just relaxed slightly, instantly tightened again, even more nervous than before, as if her heart had suddenly been pulled back into her throat.

At this moment, Chu Ningan stood firmly behind Ru Yue, using his strong and broad chest to give her the most steadfast support and protection. When he keenly sensed the surging murderous intent, he reached out without hesitation and gently pulled Ru Yue closer to him.

Then, he snorted coldly, and his icy words blew past like a cold wind on a cold night: "Is 'Shadow' planning to take action against your buyers?" His voice was low and magnetic, yet so cold that it seemed to condense the moisture in the air. Everyone present could hear the raging anger contained in it.

As a fierce and bloody fight was about to break out, the atmosphere was extremely tense. At this critical moment, An Yi, who had been hiding in the shadows, suddenly appeared. He held a long sword, the tip of the sword pointing directly at the shadow. His posture was as straight as a pine tree, and his whole body exuded an extremely fierce momentum.

A figure flashed by like a gust of wind, and Fengying instantly jumped out, standing firmly between the two parties. At this moment, her face was full of distress, and she looked straight at the shadow, with tears flickering in her eyes.

"Brother! I beg you! Just let me follow this girl! I really want to follow her from the bottom of my heart!" Fengying said in a pleading tone, and his voice was mixed with a strong crying tone, as if tears would burst out at the next moment.

Hearing his sister's sobbing, Shadow's heart tightened, but he suppressed his inner turmoil and said with a stern face, "Fengying, all I have done for so many years, without any effort, is to protect you and prevent you from being bullied or oppressed. I don't want anyone to wantonly control your life and death. But now you are so stubborn, determined to sell yourself into slavery. Are you really going to let me down? How can you be worthy of our deceased parents?"

At the end of his speech, Shadow's tone couldn't help but soften. After all, facing his most beloved sister, he still couldn't bear to scold her harshly.

"Brother, do you remember the snacks you brought me from 'Ming Yue Xiao Lou' that day? You told me back then that the young hostess was truly an incredible figure! A mere thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, yet she was able to support her siblings on her own. When I heard that, I desperately wanted to be her friend. To me, she and you are so alike; both would take on the world for their siblings without hesitation!"

At this point, she couldn't help but sniffle hard, then sobbed softly before continuing, "However, unfortunately, I never had the chance to get to know her. So, when I learned that she had come to 'Shadow' that day, I resolutely chose to sell myself out. Actually, I just thought that perhaps this would give me more opportunities to interact with her, and give me the chance to have a friend as loyal and righteous as you, Big Brother."

Fengying slowly walked towards Anying. Suddenly, she opened her arms and hugged Anying tightly. Then, she buried her head in Anying's arms and pleaded with tears in her voice, "Brother, I know everything you do is for my own good. You worry that I might be in danger and don't want to see me become someone else's slave. But I really like following her. Please, let me stay here!"

At this moment, she was like a helpless child, lying in front of Shadow, crying loudly and heartbroken.
