Chapter 24

As Ma yun readied himself to depart, he tripped over the carpet, but managed to regain his balance and take a few more hesitant steps forward. Wo Luo couldn't help but shake his head in amusement, disappointed by Ma yun's clumsiness as usual . However, Ma yun quickly reassured everyone,

"No worries, I'm perfectly fine!"

He chuckled nervously and continued on his way towards Luxifeng's office.

That's when a servant approached Lord Wo Luo, excitement evident in his voice,

"My lord, I have stumbled upon a red-blooded human baby for tonight's feast."

Wo Luo exclaimed with sheer delight,

"Finally, after a decade! How did this little one end up here?"

Aiyu's eyes bulged in utter disbelief and terror.

"Hold up... a human baby???"

she mentally exclaimed, her voice quivering with fear.

"What kind of twisted beings are these? Are they seriously planning to devour an innocent child?"

Her mind raced with horrifying scenarios.

"Oh no, Aiyu, you better tread carefully," she silently cautioned herself. "What if they plucked you from that pond only to make you their next meal?" "I'd rather have sunk to the bottom of that pond than be rescued by these monsters," Aiyu lamented, her thoughts clouded with desperation. "But how on earth am I going to find a way out of this mess?"

"Young lady daydreaming is not so good for you .... Wo Luo said in a dramatic tone ."

Ai yu was abruptly pulled from her daydreaming when his words pierced through the silence.

"I was just...haha, nothing!" she stammered, giving an awkward smile.

She desperately tried to hide the fact that she was lost in her own thoughts. Wo Luo, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, declared, "If you have any questions for Ma Yun, you can ask me too. I believe I know the RAD better than anyone else, except Lucifer himself!"

Ai yu, her voice trembling, struggled to find the right words.

"Well, umm... Actually, as someone new here, I could really use some guidance," she confessed sheepishly.

Wo Luo's confusion turned to suspicion, his tone taking on an eerie edge. "Wait a minute... Aren't you a demon? Are you from another world?" he questioned, his voice tinged with both fear and curiosity.
