Chapter 30: Shíhuà Yòuhuò
Silence pervaded the arena as everyone witnessed Tian Long being turned into a statue right in front of them. Raising her brow Sarah contemplates how to get out of this predicament as she didn't think there would actually be anyone able to beat Tian Long, as although they were not the same species of divine beast she knew that he would have his own abilities that would ensure his win. Referee, unsure of what to say could only comply and acknowledge the win as Tian Long could no longer fight.
Standing up from her seat Sarah and Jian both walked to the arena and everyone quietened so she could speak.
"Thank you for coming everyone. Now that the event has ended I would like to ask everyone to leave, except for the cloaked figure who has won the right to my hand. "
Following what she had said everyone started leaving the arena referee included. A couple minutes later and Sarah, Jian, the cloaked figure and Tian Long were the only ones left in the arena. Now that everyone was gone she asked the cloaked figure to reveal themselves otherwise the cloaked figure can consider their right for her hand as forfeited. Unhurriedly the cloaked figure took off their cloak to reveal... a woman. Underneath the cloak was a sensual body that would drive all men mad with desire and green slitted eyes that would captivate and petrify the soul of any that looked into them.
Confused Sarah asks why the woman participated when it was a challenge for her to find a (male) suitor. The woman introduced herself as Shíhuà Yòuhuò (A/N: Google Translate - Petrifying Seduction), she was a part of the Shihua clan A.K.A the Medusa clan as some like her can use her snake ancestors power of petrification as seen before, a clan of snake people (their ancestor fucked a snake when it was in its human form), until it was destroyed by joint efforts of the other clans. Youhuo also said that she was interested in female hence the participation in the challenge.
Although Sarah wasn't there she knew that her clan had likely fallen due to the machinations of that bitch of a firewolf that seduced her father. Even if her clan lives it was unlikely her mother would have been allowed to live either way. Sympathising with Youhuo about her situation she felt they would get along as she felt they were kindred spirits, although they wouldn't act the same on the outside however intrinsically they were the same. The only thing that slightly put her off was Youhuo's attraction to woman however Sarah was open minded due to her past life. Her past life made sure that she cared less about what others thought about her and wouldn't let others dictate which direction in life to take.
After thinking for a while Sarah asked if she could undo the petrification on Tian Long to which Youhuo answered she could but it would take an hour or two as it was easier to petrify something than undo the effect. Whilst this happened Sarah, Jian and Youhuo got to know each other better and Sarah ended up with a consensus with Youhuo that she would become her maid and that if she really wished to be with her like that then she would have to be stronger than her clan. Youhuo asked how strong her clan was and she ended up saying that her clan had someone within the divine levels however their exact level wasn't known even within the clan itself. Jian mostly talked about his experiences in life so far which consisted of training, fighting and then more training. Sarah didn't say much except that the situation within the clan was a little tense right now due to herslef as her mother was being pressured by her father, who was of an enemy clan, to betray her clan and bring her with her to his clan because she was born with a very high talent.
Crumbling the stone crumbled showing a fatigued Tian Long as he had spent a few hours as a statue where even his mental powers were petrified. Collapsing Jian intercepted his body mid fall and picked him up and then they left to go towards the hotel, of course not before Sarah went and collected her money from the people in charge of the arena. With the money she won from the arena she had no problem paying for a couple days for both Jian and Youhuo as Jian would just share a room with Tian Long and Youhuo would share a room with Sarah.
The next day Sarah went along with Youhuo, she had ended up just shortening it to Huo last night, to find clothes for Huo, get daily necessities and rent a better and bigger carriage. The clothes bought for Huo were - a few dressed for formal occasions and a few maid outfits. The formal dresses were made in a way that showed skin, not so much skin that she would be thought of as a slut but just enough that she would make even a middle-aged man feel like a teenager full of hormones again. The maid clothes set were all the same, the maid clothes set was also made to show skin the same as her formal dresses. The maid clothes were as so - Black combat boots that ended at just before the knee with a hidden retractable blade at the toes. Black Tights (Highlights THICCness of ass) or Black thigh high leggings (Highlights THICCness of thighs) (Up to your imagination which one). Black panties. A black skirt with roses on them with black frills. White blouse with long sleeves that hugged her body highlighing her bust.
Sarah also bought Huo some jewellry. She bought Huo a pair of snake earings that looked like a snake looping around and biting its own tail (Ouroroborous?), the snakes eyes were made using rubies whilst the body was made of emerald. Huo was also bought a red rose hairpin also made from rubies to match her skirt.
The carriage she settled with was a three compartment carriage that had a seating area, two bedrooms. It also had a better suspension so that the carriage was practically shake free when on proper roads and near shake free when off road. Sarah ended up buying four beds from the hotel and then fit them in the bedrooms, two for each as Jian and Tian Long would share the same room and Sarah and Huo would also share a room. Sarah could now also save money from now on as she wouldn't need to rent hotels now, all she needs is daily necessities and they could just live in the carriage. The carriage had also been redesigned to lookthe exact same as the outside of the previous carriage.
By the end of that day her savings had depleted a lot as she also had to buy some more horses to drive the carriage. Sarah's savings now sit at thirty gold coins in total from the original eighty made from the arena.
The day after Sarah set off with an excited Jian, the neutral Huo and the grumbling Tian Long who was still pissed that he lost as he took a hit to his pride in front of a lot of people. Dean was as fervent as before as he just faithfully carried out his duty by driving the carriage out of the town.
