âAll of you, back off! You arenât allowed to bite them!â As Curtis said this, he flicked out his tongue.
The young leopards instantly cowered. They stood there unwillingly, refusing to budge.
Even though they couldnât bite the snakes, it wasnât bad to scare them such that they didnât dare to move either.
However, the snakes werenât afraid of them anymore and slithered past them blatantly, climbing up the tree to the attic on the second floor of the villa.
After obtaining the latest news from the wild snakes, Curtis sank into deep thought.
Muir sat opposite him and asked after the snakes slithered away, âHow is it?â
âThat girl is a little interesting,â Curtis said.
âI feel that sheâs well-behaved and wonât create trouble. Since you agree too, then let her come home.â As Muir said this, he stood up. It was his son, after all, so he was a little biased toward Mu Ya.
Curtis said, âWait for a little more.â
Muir turned and threw him an inquiring glance. âDonât go overboard.â
Curtis said, âIâm just doing a final test.â
After saying that, he stood up as well, tidied his clothes, then walked out.
At this hour, that girl should be at work.
â¦
The bar was filled with cigarette smoke, flashing lights, and alcohol. There was music as well as wriggling bodies, forming a befuddled scene.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Curtis had some random person make a nice-looking glass of alcohol for him, then leaned against the table sluggishly, looking around.
His fiery-red long hair and elegant looks caused him to attract a lot of attention the moment he entered. However, due to his cold and aloof disposition, no one was prepared to chat him up yet.
The murky air caused Curtisâs sense of smell to be completely gone. He could only rely on his eyes to search for Shen Yin.
Muir had come, too. Dressed in black clothes, in addition to his quiet and reserved disposition, he almost integrated into the air. He was considered to have a low profile.
Although they had come together, he kept a far distance from Curtis. Even though they had lived together under one roof for several decades, it couldnât change their relationship as love rivals.
As beastmen, both of them hated the murkiness of a bar. Just as the two of them were unable to take it anymore, Shen Yin finally appeared with a rag.
She seemed to be heading to clean up a dirty table. Curtis immediately got up, but someone got to her before he did.
âYoung lady, youâre new here?â A guy in his twenties blocked Shen Yinâs way.
Under the flashing lights, his features looked handsome, his figure long and slender. Most importantly, his clothes didnât look cheap.
Men like him who were young, handsome, and werenât lacking in money tended to be very popular.
Curtis leaned against the table again with interest.
Since someone wanted to help to test her out, then heâd just wait and see how things went.
Shen Yin seemed as if she hadnât seen anything. In fact, she had never looked up at anyone before. She passed by the guy and continued to head for her destination.
âTurns out to be a cool beauty⦠I like it.â The man moved and blocked Shen Yinâs path once again. âGive me the honor of having a drink with you.â
Seeing that she couldnât pass by this guy, Shen Yin gave a miserly reply, âNo.â
âHow about this, if you were to drink one cup, Iâll give you 100 yuan. Itâs enough to cover your one day of pay, right?â
Shen Yin was unmoved.
The man then said, â200, 300, 500.â
Seeing that Shen Yinâs expression didnât change at all, the man became even more interested. He said, âHow much do you want?â
Something like this was very common in bars. Heâd often give tips to waitresses. He wasnât the only one. Many rich people, or people who wanted to look good, would give tips. The employees here should have gotten used to it.
This was the first time he had seen one who didnât take the money that was offered.
Shen Yin lowered her head even more. The man thought that she had finally been bribed and was prepared to pay a lot of money, so his gaze became offensive.
However, he didnât notice that Shen Yinâs hands holding onto a rag had clenched into fists. She was using so much force that her joints had turned pale and her body was trembling slightly.
Her fatherâs words resounded in her ears, bellowing so loudly that her mind became groggy.
âThat slutty face that only knows how to seduce men!â
âLike your mom⦠only knows how to seduce menâ¦â
âState your price. But youâll have to accompany me for the entire nightâ¦â The guy took Shen Yinâs small hand. But before he could finish his words, his voice suddenly turned into a sharp and agonizing howl.
Shen Yin had somehow gotten a small knife, and the instant the man touched her, she thrust it harshly in reflex.
