Chapter 1191: Chapter 17: Winning Them Over Through a Gamble

Not long after the Night Charm Queen left, the next day, Yun Sheng and Doctor Zhao arrived at the prison in Crescent Spring Town.

The prison in Crescent Spring Town used to detain a large number of runaway Human Clan slaves and some disobedient Half-Beasts.

After Yun Sheng arrived, she released all the people inside.

Currently imprisoned there are some Half-Beast Warriors that originally served under Hu Yixue. The entire prison roughly holds two to three hundred people.

After Hu Yixue was killed, the Half-Beasts in town were like scattered sand. Under the assault of Yun Sheng’s Demon Beasts, they quickly fell into disarray and were all captured.

The village chief’s suggestion at the time was to kill all these Half-Beasts to eliminate future troubles, but Yun Sheng did not do so.

Instead, she ordered that these Half-Beast Warriors be treated kindly, which puzzled the village chief and others.

Yun Sheng came to the prison today specifically for these Half-Beast Warriors,

"Despicable Human Clan, let us out!"

After Yun Sheng and Doctor Zhao entered the prison, they heard a rough voice echoing within the prison.

"That’s Xiong Ce, a Half-Beast Warrior and Hu Yixue’s trusted aide. When Hu Yixue went to the civilian cave, he was responsible for guarding the Mayor’s Mansion. This person’s strength is impressive, at the Martial Arts Sect level. If it weren’t for the adults’ Demon Beasts’ help, we wouldn’t have been able to handle him no matter what," Doctor Zhao said beside Yun Sheng.

This Xiong Ce, too, is a tough man. After being imprisoned, unlike other Half-Beast Warriors, he refused to eat the food provided by the Human Clan and cursed daily.

Yun Sheng looked at the imprisoned Half-Beast Xiong Ce inside, seeing his height of two meters and indeed resembling a large black bear, his arms as thick as her waist.

Due to Xiong Ce’s immense strength, villagers had to use four or five chains to lock him.

Xiong Ce also saw Yun Sheng. He had long heard that the Town Mayor was killed by a member of the Human Clan.

Originally thought the opponent was at least a powerful warrior like a Bimong Giant, but how was I to know it was a delicate woman even more beautiful than the concubines in the Mayor’s Mansion.

Not even if you beat Xiong Ce to death would he believe this woman killed the Town Mayor with her real abilities.

Xiong Ce naturally assumed that Yun Sheng colluded with the Human Clan and used her beauty to captivate the Town Mayor.

"Did you kill the Town Mayor?" Xiong Ce glared, pulling at the chains on his arms until they clinked, wishing to go up and twist off this Human Clan woman’s neck.

"It was I who killed Hu Yixue. Xiong Ce, I respect you as a hero. If you’re willing to yield, I can let you out." Yun Sheng was not at all afraid of Xiong Ce; she directly opened the cell door and went inside.

"Don’t do it, Yun Sheng, Xiong Ce is powerful and a Martial Artist. If you release him, it will be a disaster," Doctor Zhao behind her gasped in fright and hurriedly spoke.

"Hmph, if you have the skill, kill me, but as long as I, Xiong Ce, live, don’t think you lowly Human Clan can command me," In Xiong Ce’s eyes, the Human Clan was despicable; they were cowardly, timid, and absolutely unfit to command him.

"Xiong Ce, don’t rush to refuse, listen to a story first," Yun Sheng was not anxious but instead changed the topic to a story.

"Once there was a Half-Beast with innate Divine Power, but because he wasn’t a pure-blooded Beast he was enslaved in his tribe. After he matured, he left his tribe alone to seek a living in a great city. But due to being a Half-Beast, he couldn’t earn titles academically, nor could he enter the court as an official. Helpless, he worked as a guard in a remote town where he met a Half-Beast woman who unfortunately caught the local Town Mayor’s eye..." Yun Sheng spoke, and Xiong Ce suddenly roared.

When Xiong Ce roared, the chains on his arms snapped, and he swung the broken chains and charged in front of Yun Sheng.

"Protect the master!" Doctor Zhao shouted, and Human Clan guards in the prison rushed out. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"!!"

Xiong Ce’s tall figure stood frozen a mere half-foot in front of Yun Sheng.

In the blink of an eye, Yun Sheng had already used Space Prohibition Magic to immobilize Xiong Ce.

"Kill me if you must, damn woman, you can’t humiliate me!" Xiong Ce’s face reddened with anger.

The story Yun Sheng just told, about the Half-Beast forced to leave his tribe and his beloved snatched away, referred to Xiong Ce.

"Xiong Ce, what I said isn’t just your experience alone. On the Bahuang Continent, pure-blooded Beastmen reign supreme, and most Half-Beasts face the same fate as you, separated from loved ones, enduring humiliation. Compared to the Human Clan, you seem better off, but in truth, it’s exactly the same. Even so, will you still serve those pure-blooded Beastmen?" Yun Sheng’s words made Xiong Ce and other Half-Beasts in the prison fall into silence.

"People say the Human Clan is cunning. Do you think with your mere words you can convince me or these Half-Beasts? Dream on. The Human Clan cannot defeat the powerful Eight Desolate Beast Clan!" Knowing in his heart, Xiong Ce was aware that Half-Beasts have always been bullied.

But that’s fate; if they don’t comply, the powerful pure-blooded Beast clan will certainly kill all Half-Beasts.

His family and clansmen would all face unavoidable disaster.

The concept of equality among Human Clan, Half-Beasts, and Beastmen is beyond contemplation for them.

"If you don’t try, there’s no possibility. Why not make a bet, if I can conquer Cangdu with the power of the Human Clan, you will submit to the Human Clan. If I can’t do it, I will honor my promise and release you and your family," Yun Sheng’s words fell on Xiong Ce and the ears of Half-Beasts in the prison, undoubtedly akin to fairytale talk.

The Half-Beasts are fully aware of the Human Clan’s strength.

Just resisting the hundreds of Half-Beast warriors in Crescent Spring Town has already gravely injured the Human Clan’s vitality, yet this woman speaks of conquering Cangdu with the Human Clan’s strength.

But that is Cangdu, one of the ten major cities within the Sky Fox Tribe Country, with thirty thousand stationed troops. The military there is dozens of times that of Crescent Spring Town.

"Alright, a bet it is. I, Xiong Ce, swear by my Bear Clan warrior’s soul, if you can conquer Cangdu, my brothers and I, along with all Half-Beasts in town, will henceforth coexist peacefully with the Human Clan. But if you lose, you must also honor your promise!" Xiong Ce firmly declared.

"I, Yun Sheng, swear by my Magic Soul, no matter the outcome, will not trouble any Half-Beast in this prison," Yun Sheng finished, and atop her head, a Six-Colored Magic Soul glowed.

When the rainbow-like splendid Six-Colored Magic Soul appeared in the prison, the gaze of those Half-Beast warriors changed.
