But what a pity, Qin Yu underestimated the strong combat power of the obam guards. After a full three hours, the obam guards washed themselves and left. As for the obam females, most of them were lying prone, weak and worn out.

“That’s enough. You lowly and pathetic people, hurry up and wash yourselves and put on your clothes! Don’t have any thoughts of being lazy!”

As the obam roared, Qin Yu mixed into the group and climbed out. He wiped his body a few times and put on one of the robes that was lying on a wooden table. After looking around a bit, he found Little Zhao. She had blended into the group of worn out obam females. However, she wasn’t truly stupid. She still put on a weak and weary appearance, the only difference being that her actions in putting on her clothes were a bit faster than the others.

As he thought, she was a useless chicken!

This was merely a transformed body. Even if it was her true body that was naked, so what? In the brutal world of cultivation, those that paid too much attention to these trivial matters would eventually harm themselves. Now, Qin Yu had already given up any hopes that Little Zhao could complete this mission herself. As it turned out, he could only rely on himself.

After a simple distribution, the low level obam servants were given different assignments. They were sent to the kitchen, sent gardening, cleaning, and other such departments. QIN Yu and Little Zhao were respectfully sent to the kitchen and cleaning departments. After watching her leaving with other obams, Qin Yu’s eyes flashed. He hoped she could be smarter and not lose her life.

Otherwise, Qin Yu didn’t know if he would be implicated also.

“The lot of you come with me!”

Qin Yu smoothly entered the back kitchen. As a quiet newcomer, he was given the most common and tiresome job – chopping wood.

The obam were a strange race that regarded eating as their art and their life. In their lives, they would spend a massive amount of time enjoying various kinds of food. So within the City Lord Mansion, the kitchen held a relatively high status. Of course, this also meant that there were even more low-level obam like Qin Yu here.”

“There’s not enough black firewood. We’re about to run out so hurry up with the chopping!” An extremely obese obam yelled from the side.

Qin Yu nodded and his movements sped up a great deal. The watchful eyes around him suddenly revealed looks of contempt and disdain. The obam race had an high degree of talent for bulling the weak. Qin Yu’s current performance caused everyone to place him among the ranks of the weak who could be ordered around and mistreated at will.

Three days later, Qin Yu had already become the most busy person within this part of the region, bar none. By himself, he almost took on the work of three people. Piles of firewood were stacked up all around him, nearly drowning him.

Without paying attention to the complacent and triumphant looks of the obam around him, Qin Yu occasionally looked through the gaps between the stacks of firewood. His eyes swept across the surrounding tall buildings as he constantly compared what he saw with the topographic map he had of the City Lord Mansion in his mind.

As night fell, Qin Yu leaned back against the piles of firewood, his eyes closed in rest. All of his work might seem incomparably tiring to these weak obam, but it wasn’t anything to Qin Yu at all. It was just that right now before he determined what kind of strength the City Lord Mansion had, he didn’t dare to recklessly act.

He subconsciously looked at the direction in front of him. Even though giant stacks of firewood and countless thick walls stood in his way, he could still vaguely feel a terrifying aura there. It was like invisible spikes in the darkness, easily capable of piercing through his body.

As he thought, there was an existence within the City Lord Mansion that the Nine Nether Peak’s Stronghold Master and Doctor Ye dreaded….now that Qin Yu’s injuries had been completely restored, he could say that he was in the most powerful period of his life. But facing this sort of existence he still didn’t have any hopes of winning. There would only be one chance. Once he was discovered, Qin Yu didn’t believe he would be able to flee in front of this existence.

He turned is eyes away. This was because he didn’t dare to gaze upon it too long. An existence of this level likely had terrifying sensory abilities. As he was thinking about how he could quietly complete his mission, he heard the sound of stirring in his ears. Moreover, it came from afar and rapidly approached.

“No, I don’t want to. Stop…” The lowered voice of an angry and ashamed obam female sounded out.

This was followed by the excited gasps of a male obam, “Don’t resist anymore. You’ve already been played around by the guards, so why don’t you try me too!”

Bang –

A pile of firewood was pushed down, revealing Qin Yu behind it. As he watched these two obams crash around on the floor, he sighed inwardly. He really had no interest in this scene that looked like two little pigs rolling around on the floor. He stood up to leave.

As the female obam saw this her eyes darkened. She quietly scolded Qin Yu for being a coward.

“You, stop there!” As if trying to show off his bravery and arrogance, the male obam shouted out loud. He pointed to Qin Yu and said, “You, go outside and stand guard for me. If anyone comes in, just see if I won’t peel off your skin!”

He had already recognized Qin Yu as the most cowardly newcomer. He simply didn’t worry that Qin Yu would even dare to resist his orders. To resign himself to such horrible conditions in just three days, a deep-rooted impression had already been formed in the hearts of many obam.

Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows and turned to leave. As he passed by the female obam, she suddenly grabbed onto him and said, “I am now announcing that he is the man I chose. If you want to obtain me then ruthlessly beat him up!”

As she finished speaking she glanced at Qin Yu and moved away. There was great ill intent in her eyes. She was obviously retaliating against him for not helping her, or to try and buy more time for herself.

“Haha, good, then I’ll twist around his head so you know that obeying me is the best choice!” The male obam laughed several times before turning around. Among the obam race, he had a relatively tall and sturdy body. Compared to the ‘obam’ that Qin Yu had transformed into, he was a head higher. After a brief pause he raised a leg and kicked out. The speed was actually so fast that it left behind an afterimage. It was clear that this male obam had partially grasped his bloodline’s strength.

Bang –

With a dull thumping sound the ground seemed to shake. As the female obam tried to flee, she suddenly paused and her mouth dropped open. She looked at the male obam who was lying on the ground unconscious, blood seeping out of his mouth and nose, and she shivered.

Qin Yu glanced at the female obam and walked away. He believed that if this obam was smart enough she wouldn’t say anything about what happened tonight. Of course, the best plan would be to kill these two obams, but while Qin Yu was in hiding he didn’t want to do anything that might increase the chances of exposing himself.

As he hoped, nothing happened afterwards. The obam that Qin Yu knocked down seemed to have injured his brain. After he shouted out in confusion and caused a clamor, he was dragged away and dealt with. After this, this part of the kitchen had a brief period of chaos before everything calmed down once more. Qin Yu continued to chop firewood, hiding himself even deeper within. It was just that he could feel several burning hot looks on him occasionally.

They came from that female obam. Luckily, she only looked on from afar and didn’t approach him. Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows at this but continued to let her do what she wanted to.

Another two days passed. As Qin Yu had decided he was going to do something, an alarm sounded within the City Lord Mansion. For an instant, he felt a terrifying heart-racing aura coming from the center of the City Lord Mansion.

The chaos continued all night. Soon, fragments of news came out. It seemed that a human cultivator had snuck into the City Lord Mansion and tried to kill Steward Dorafi because of a grudge. Fortunately, the great and benevolent City Lord had granted her loyal steward a life-protecting treasure that he saved his life.

Qin Yu cursed inwardly. He immediately thought of Little Zhao. The accident last night must have been caused by her. If the master of the terrifying aura he had sensed last night had made a move, they would have easily suppressed her.

Perhaps Qin Yu’s own status might have been exposed along with her!

Leave. He had to immediately leave this place. Even if the mission failed in the end the blame wouldn’t be placed on him. It was still better than waiting here for death.

But before Qin Yu could quietly withdraw, the back kitchen was heavily surrounded. An obam noble that was covered with white fur all over arrived. He indifferently swept his eyes around as if he were looking at lowly ants and coldly said, “The City Lord has passed a command to strictly search every obam in the City Lord Mansion. If any of them dare to resist, kill them all!”

As he waved his hoof, space rippled and a giant bronze mirror appeared out of nowhere.

“Mirror of Revelation!” There was a cry of alarm. Someone in the back kitchen, an obam suddenly flew up. His body rapidly changed back into that of a large and sturdy human male. With a howl, he ran away.

Whoosh –

With the sound of piercing air, an arrow covered in white flames overtook that fleeing human cultivator. The arrow pierced through his chest and flames rapidly spread over his body. He fell to the ground, tumbling around several times before fading into ashes.

The white obam put away his bow and arrow, his eyes even colder than before. “So there are human spies here. Investigate every one of these obam; don’t let a single one go!”
