Chapter 604: Asking for Guilt (1)_1
Emperor Huian asked Mo Yan several other questions, focusing beyond the origins of the five beasts and in particular about her ability to control animals, asking if she had been guided by a master.
Mo Yan answered very cautiously, omitting anything that might implicate "Space." She told the truth wherever possible, and as for the so-called master, that was a complete fabrication. Regarding why the five beasts obeyed her commands, she could only play dumb and attribute it to them being extraordinary savage beasts or perhaps having developed Spiritual Wisdom and taken a liking to her.
Emperor Huian seemed to believe what Mo Yan had said, his expression becoming more relaxed and his voice increasingly gentle.
Seeing this, Mo Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, grasped her sticky palm, yet held back the urge to wipe it with a handkerchief.
It was impossible not to be nervous facing the ruler of the world for the first time. Even knowing that Emperor Huian was a rare enlightened ruler who did not kill arbitrarily, she dared not overstep the slightest bit. After all, this was not the legal society of a past life, but a strict hierarchical feudal dynasty where the ruler at the pinnacle of the pyramid could ruin a person or even a Family with a mere word.
Moreover, she had entered the arena on her own accord, even if it was to save people, she ultimately violated the Emperor’s taboos. If he did indeed choose to hold her accountable, how could she possibly escape? However, considering the current situation, was he not planning to pursue it?
However, reality proved that Mo Yan had been happy too early. Just when she thought that the Emperor wouldn’t hold her accountable and that she could soon return home, perhaps even in time for dinner, an overwhelming authoritative presence assaulted her, "You can control animals and just happened to appear in the Savage Beast Forest, saving everyone with your own strength. This beast attack was clearly a trap you set with ill intentions, how shall you be punished?"
