Chapitre 54: Back to Yan Clan
As soon as Rinley and the nine emerged, the Yan Clan elders including the Clan Head and Grand Elder immediately flew to their side.
They haven't reached the youngsters yet when a sneak attack was directed towards Rinley.
The Grand Elder's face darkened. The attacker was even stronger than him, he has no way to deflect it in time. He can only embrace Rinley and guard her with his back.
A certain Devil King who was watching from the side immediately moved. A black flame clashed with the attack causing it to disintegrate.
However, at the sight of the black flame, the crowd gathered at the rainforest panicked.
"Devil Flame!!!"
"It's the Devil King!"
"The Devil King is here!!"
The notorious name has such a magical effect, the crowd disappeared in no time.
On the other hand, a certain Devil King was greatly displeased as he took advantage of the commotion to retreat. It would not be good if he was identified.
The elders of the Yan Clan also moved immediately, getting the youngsters to safety and getting on a high-grade flying ship back to the Flame Continent.
***
The way back to the Yan Clan was very awkward. The nine monkeys were very quiet, getting a lecture from the Clan Head.
"You all knew the dangers of the Sacred Palace Trial Grounds yet you have the guts bring Rinley inside! Whose idea was this?!"
None of them answered, their heads were bowed looking extremely obedient. [Mr. Clan Head, didn't you already know that it was Rinley who slipped out on her own? Why are you still asking us?]
"All of you will be punished according to family rules when we get back!!"
... After another round of rambling, the Clan Head went to Rinley's side who was currently sitting on the Grand Elder's lap. Despite his cold facade, he has been infected by the clan's cuteness-rules-supreme mentality.
"My princess... you are really very good! Even letting this uncle of yours earn many spirit stones..." he said smiling while rubbing Rinley's head.
The other elders nodded while looking enviously at the Clan Head and Grand Elder. Those two bankrupted the betting houses of Wuxi City. They really acted very fast, the betting was already closed before they can cast their bets. And look they get priority cuddles from Rinley! The Grand Elder uses his seniority to hound Rinley on his own! Really shameless!
Rinley who was waiting for her turn of lectures: (・・ ) ? [That's it? I get a free pass?]
Rinley can't help but let out a smile... however, she remembered that her cousins were getting punishment, she felt guilty and bowed his head. The Clan Head and Grand Elder's iceberg face melted at the cuteness. Such cute little girl, how can they let her be subjected to family rules? Their hearts will shatter...
Such double standards... caw! Be careful not to get struck by lightning!
***MINI THEATER***
Do you think the nine monkeys are resentful? Nah ah... They are happy to shoulder Rinley's punishment. It was such an honor! (*¯︶¯*)
Fifth monkey: *evil smile* Kekeke... We can use this to get a request from Rinley. Maybe more cuddle times?? ψ( ´▽` )ψ
Other eight monkeys: Kekeke... (☆ω☆)
