Chapter 421: Chapter 421: Sis, What Are You Doing? (First Update)
Karsath knelt respectfully before Xue An.
“My lord! I, Karsath, shall never forget the debt of my rebirth,” he declared. “From now on, wherever your sword points shall be the direction I advance!”
Anastasia also knelt down beside him, “Witch Anastasia shall never betray you, my lord!”
The emotions of these two were indeed stirred and complex at this moment.
If it weren’t for Xue An, Karsath would surely have fallen into an eternal abyss of suffering; and if that were the case, let alone staying together forever, even a single meeting would be unlikely.
Therefore, for Karsath to say that Xue An had granted him a new lease on life was no exaggeration.
Xue An just smiled, “Stand up, I saved you because I thought you were a decent person, not because I expected anything in return.”
Karsath and Anastasia said nothing more and obediently stood up.
Given their characters, they could not have expressed an abundance of gratitude, choosing instead to bury this debt of kindness in their hearts, remembering it forever.
Then, Xue An turned his head and looked at Fan Mengxue, who was whispering with An Yan.
These two women had been chattering non-stop since earlier.
A long-missed smile also appeared on Fan Mengxue’s face.
At this point, An Yan said to Xue An, “Husband, let’s follow Meng Xue to the Dark Council to take a look!”
Upon hearing this, Karsath and the others hastily spoke up, “My lord, now that the Church of Light has been eradicated, and you temporarily have no place to stay, why not stay at the Dark Council for a few days?”
Xue An was slightly startled, then smiled and nodded.
With their speed, returning to the Dark Council located in the mountains of Europe took but a moment.
Upon arrival,
An Yan curiously examined the skeleton guards, even reaching out to touch one.
The skeleton guard glanced at her impatiently, “Sis, what are you doing?”
It spoke in a pure Northeastern Chinese accent.
An Yan’s eyes gradually widened in disbelief.
In front of the Dark Ancient Castle, nestled in the European mountains and steeped in a millennium of history, a skeleton soldier speaking in a heavy Northeastern Chinese dialect was a picture of sheer comedy.
Karsath quickly explained, “My lady, these skeletons are a legacy from the medieval era, some even older than this ancient castle. They have developed consciousness, and as for why they speak Mandarin…”
Karsath pointed to a few skeleton soldiers in the corner who were absorbed in watching a comic dialogue show on their smartphones, and said with some helplessness, “Ever since the advent of smartphones, these skeletons’ lives have become more colorful.”
The skeleton soldier glanced at Karsath, “Yo, handsome young man! What’s this? Finally hooked up with the witch lady? Tsk tsk!”
At the words “hooked up,”
both Karsath and Anastasia twitched slightly, but they said nothing, for these skeletons had become sharp-witted, practically the Dark Council’s mascots.
They couldn’t be fought nor scolded, and had to act as if they hadn’t heard a thing.
As for the others, they burst into hearty laughter.
An Yan couldn’t help but chuckle, the slight fear in her heart vanishing. She patted the skeleton on the shoulder and then gave a thumbs-up.
“You speak northeastern dialect really well!”
“Do I? I think so too! And I don’t just speak the northeastern dialect; I can even say a few phrases in Cantonese, listen here, ‘Lei hou ah!'”
The skeleton soldier chattered away endlessly.
Xue An, caught between laughter and tears, led an excited and curious An Yan into the ancient castle.
Due to Xue An’s arrival, the castle was a hive of activity.
A dozen maids were hurriedly preparing the cutlery for the banquet later on.
But upon closer inspection, you’d realize that these maids were actually ghost brides.
