Chapter 942: Chapter 942: Choose One for Yourself_1

"The two oxen you’ve produced don’t look like wild oxen at all, they’re clearly domesticated. In a place like White Blind Mountain, where would he go to capture two domesticated oxen?

Isn’t this just a trap for him?"

"Lady..."

"Choose one, either go back empty-handed and start gnawing on tree bark as the Sixth Prince said, or take these two oxen back with you and have a feast on their meat and soup."

Lin Caisang interrupted him before he could say anything, stretching out two fingers in front of him.

"Make a choice."

Jiang Zuo: "!!!"

This is coercion, what choice does he have? Of course, he’ll choose the food. Otherwise, what? Is he supposed to choose to gnaw on tree bark?

"Then I’ll ’capture’ them and take them back," he said.

"That’s more like it."

Lin Caisang smiled widely and, with a flick of her hand, produced two ducks, handing them over to Jiang Zuo.

"Here, take this. Today, I feel like having duck soup. Have Zhe Jue cook it," she said.

At that moment, Jiang Zuo could only stare blankly at Lin Caisang, stiffly taking the two ducks into his hands and, after a deep breath, drove the two oxen back.

...

Soon enough, Jiang Zuo brought back the two oxen and the two ducks.

Seeing this, everyone, although full of questions, compared to the prospect of going hungry, kept a tacit silence, not a single person speaking out.

Yet, as these people once again had something to eat, someone could not help but feel like cursing.

"Damn it, what’s with these people, where did they get all this food!"

The man hiding in the shadows had only intended to take advantage of the moment Ya Molian strayed from the group to capture them all at once, so he had made some arrangements, only to see that food had appeared out of nowhere among the crowd.

Seeing the two oxen, he was so furious he could stamp his feet and beat his chest.

He had laid plans for many to encounter them, just to deplete their provisions, but never did he expect that in a place like White Blind Mountain, they would still manage to find food to eat.

"These people... these people..."

He could not believe that there could be cattle or ducks on White Blind Mountain; it simply wasn’t possible.

Yet those people had somehow captured oxen, what on earth was going on?

"Could it be Sui Zimo’s doing?"

He couldn’t help but suspect that this was somehow related to Sui Zimo. After all, that man was no ordinary person, and could pull off some tricks right under his nose.

"Hiss!"

He exhaled deeply and looked up at the huge vortex ahead.

It seemed that it was no longer possible to delay them from reaching the vortex, not with the supplies that these people had; they wouldn’t run out in just a day or two.

"Then let all of you go to Illusion Continent together, and if you have to die, die together!" he murmured darkly.

"Brother Molian, look over there..."

As the man was contemplating how to deal with Ya Molian and her companions, Lin Caisang and Ya Molian had already spotted his silhouette. Though it was at a great distance, and they could only see a blurry figure.

But they were certain that it was the person who had been scheming against them from the shadows.

"I see it."

Ya Molian nodded, without even looking in that direction.

He had been aware of that person for a while now, following them all along, and although he couldn’t constantly feel his presence, he occasionally sensed his gaze.
