Chapter 284: A Difficult Life (Request for Monthly Votes)_5
"You four, what are your names, and how did you get here?"
Seeing that the four had not spoken, but instead continued to maintain their still posture, Abadun looked at Elsa, "Elsa, lift the ban, they cannot speak like this."
"Sorry about that."
"Snap."
The Ice Spirit Witch snapped her fingers, and only then did the four regain their freedom.
"We, we were invited by a noble!"
Qin Yinyu didn't know who these people were, but still promptly pulled out the big guns.
"Noble? What's that?"
Abadun had never heard the term on Yatun Island, and when he inquired with others, they shook their heads as well.
"What is a noble?"
The four were even more bewildered than Abadun; what did it mean to call a noble a 'what'? Wasn't that what those demons just mentioned?
Could it be that Netherworld Fairyland had many factions, and they had encountered just one of them?
"Croak, croak-croak!"
While Abadun and the others were perplexed, the Three-legged Jin Chan, Boss Jin, hopped over quickly.
He was originally dining in the tavern and happened to see the guests who vanished into thin air being stopped by the Yatun Clan.
Boss Jin suddenly remembered something, that was, not all the nobles knew about the invited guests, as the news was mainly circulating within Netherworld Fairyland.
After all, the People of Yatun never intended to let outsiders run away from the island.
If this were likened to a game, then the entire server only had Netherworld Fairyland as an area, and the outside was not open.
But the fact that players couldn't get out didn't mean that the Yatun Clan couldn't come in, hence the current scene.
"Oh, it's a Toad."
Boss Jin was a pet that Abadun had raised since childhood, and they had a great bond: "Do you know them?"

"Know them, know them, I know them, croak."
Boss Jin said respectfully, "They are the invited guests who vanished."
"Oh!"
Inya exclaimed, "I've heard my brother talk about it! They are those outsiders who vanished into thin air, right?"
"Exactly, exactly, Your Highness the Princess, they are."
Here the so-called nobles typically refer to the Yatun Clan, and Inya, even more so, is one of the most elite among them, a member of the Yatun Royal Family.
However, Inya is particularly approachable, so Boss Jin isn't afraid of her; on the contrary, he is very fond of her.
"No wonder they seem like Mortals, with no power at all."
When the People of Yatun heard they were guests who vanished, they lost interest and didn't interfere any further.
This matter was not related to them; it was under the jurisdiction of Ancient Chronicles, and they should not intervene.
"Let's go, let's go, today we're going to eat at Uncle Glarus's place."
"Inya, you're becoming addicted to poking fun at others, huh."
"Poor Grandpa Glarus..."
The crowd left, but Ina kept looking back a few times; she had no affection for those bereft of the Miracle Power of Bailuo, and even felt a certain hostility towards them.
Such an attitude was not uncommon on Yatun Island, and it was even becoming a mainstream trend.
"Whew~~~"
"That was terrifying."
"Yeah, really scary," Qin Yue said, "especially that one with the eyes glowing green, it was like it wanted to devour us."
"Shh!! Shh!!!"
Startled, Boss Jin hurriedly signaled them to keep quiet: "If Miss Ina hears you talking like this, be careful you don't truly lose your lives."
The laws of Yatun explicitly prohibit killing each other.
However, this 'each other' has a clear boundary: it's between Children of Miracle and Children of Miracle, Mortal and Mortal.
In other words, if a Child of Miracle kills a Mortal, in Yatun it's 'not guilty'!!!
The four of them didn't know this, but Boss Jin was all too clear about it.
"Her name is Ina, is she, is she also a deity?"
"She's a Witch."
Boss Jin added in his heart: 'And a very evil Witch at that.'
In Yatun, 'evil' is merely a stance, not synonymous with 'bad', but in Boss Jin's eyes, Ina was an exceptionally dangerous presence.
Her Demonic Energy drained life force, turning all things to nothingness, and coupled with Ina's ideology, she was just like those demons from the north, extreme warmongers and racial supremacists.
Supremacy of the People of Yatun, anyone daring to defy Bailuo, meets death.
"The Witch, is it that Witch, the one who can do Magic?"
"She indeed knows Magic, and her Magic is quite dreadful," Boss Jin said, "If you ever run into her, steer clear immediately, and absolutely do not engage her in conflict."
"We'll remember that."
"Also, thanks for this time, Boss Jin," Qin Yinyu never missed a chance to curry favor: "We wonder if we might have the honor of inviting you to a meal, as a token of our gratitude."
"Who has ever heard of dining with a Toad, I fear you won't be able to stomach it."
Boss Jin's dietary habits involved various insects, fried, grilled, steamed—even the Yatun Clan found it unpalatable, let alone them.
"No problem," Qin Yinyu clapped his brother on the shoulder: "My brother here is a gourmet, as long as it's edible, no matter how special, he'll eat it without fail."
"..."
Qin Yue's eyes widened; he had no idea when he had become a gourmet.
However, Qin Yinyu didn't give his brother any chance to argue; the murderous look in his eyes instantly made him shrink his neck, not daring to oppose.
"Right, I'll eat anything," Qin Yue said, "It'll be good to see something new."
"Are you serious, little brother?"
"Truer than gold!"
"Then what are we waiting for, let's go!"
Boss Jin was overjoyed, as his style was always criticized by his peers, especially the Baiying Family, who, despite having grown up eating insects, disparaged him for it.
And the Cute Cat Family, who called him nothing but 'Toad is a Toad' behind his back.
Fairies, Demons, Sacred Beasts, they could at least claim to be elevated by one of their own ascending, and with their new status, should lead respectable lives.
But Boss Jin still loved insects, believing them to be the tastiest source of protein.
This made many look down on him, thinking Boss Jin couldn't shed his old habits, lowering the standards of their Yatun Beast Kind, too disdainful to associate with him.
"Who would've thought, to meet a fellow enthusiast here."
Thrilled, Boss Jin said: "Little brother, I have high hopes for you, quack."
