Douluo: Subversion Begins with the Arrival of the Traveler

Chapter 12: Request from Another World
"Oh, why is my life so miserable..."

When one plan failed, the woman came up with another and started crying and wiping away her tears on the spot.

"A few days ago, a group of merchants passed by here, and I saw you go up and greet them. Since then, a few people have been lurking around the village. Is it related to you?"

Seeing that the woman was just crying and not making a fuss, Old Lake was at a loss for a moment, so he simply told her about the doubts he had seen.

"H-how do you know?"

The woman was shocked and wondered how this old man could have discovered the clues, considering that she had been restrained enough these days.

"You usually yell and scream in the village. Even the dogs at the entrance cower when they see you. But ever since that caravan passed by, you seem like a different person. The only time you go out is to look for the little girl from Old Yu's family. There must be a reason for that, right?"

Old Lake leaned on his cane and continued:
"And a few days ago, Lao Yu, Monkey, and Da Zhuang went to sell animal skins, but only Monkey came back. He said he was intercepted by bandits on his way back."

"These bandits, I guess you have something to do with them, right?"

"You... stop slandering me. I'm just a woman, how could I know a caravan bandit..."

When the woman heard Old Lake tell her everything, she tried to argue, but Kong had already seen her slightly panicked look.

"What's your relationship with them? Was Yu Keke taken away by them? Think it over and tell me. I don't want to ask you again."

Kong released his pressure again. It was obvious that these things were closely related to her. Faced with a woman who was so stubborn, he could only take some tough measures.

"Don't, don't kill me! I'll tell you, I'll tell you..."

Although the woman had a vicious mind, she had seen Kong controlling the water element to put out the fire in the thatched hut while hiding in the corner. The magical moves were more powerful than any soul master he had ever seen.

At this moment, her life was in the hands of the young man in front of her. She was so scared that she had to tell him everything.

"That dead kid was indeed taken away by that caravan, but Lao Yu's death has nothing to do with me! I didn't mean to harm him, wuwu..."

The woman slumped in the corner, tears streaming down her face as she spoke of Lao Yu.

"That day I went looking for Yu Keke and found her by the stream, with her hat off and her ears sticking out. I was about to go over and scold her when the group of people happened to pass by and seemed to be looking at her.

Later, they also found me and came up to talk to me. They first asked about the dead child's situation. When they learned that I was her stepmother, they simply told me that they wanted to buy Yu Keke and find her a good family...

I'm so annoyed with that little monster. Every time I go out, everyone talks about me being a monster's mother. I hate her so much! I wish she would just disappear right away!
Besides, the gang promised me a good price and even asked me to pay a deposit. Think about it, if a monster can be sold for a good price, I won’t be bothered by it if I don’t see it, so I agreed to it..."

The woman said this with an inexplicable sense of self-righteousness.

"You even sold your daughter! You nasty old woman, it turns out you're a real villain too!"

When Paimon heard this, his eyes blazed with fire and he wanted to rush up and punch this vicious woman a few times.

"Go on."

Sora reached out to stop Paimon, motioning for the woman to continue.

"Later, when I was communicating with that group, Lao Yu came back from hunting and seemed to have discovered some clues.

But luckily, he was in a hurry to sell the hides, so he didn't ask too many questions. Who knew he would never come back..."

"So the bandits Yu Keke's father encountered on the way were from that caravan?"

When Kong heard this, he already had a general idea of what had happened.

"I don't know. I really didn't mean to harm Lao Yu. He was so kind to me and even saved me... I really didn't harm him, wuwu..."

"You old witch, stop pretending here! Not only did you sell your daughter to a vendor, but you also killed your own husband! I, I... I'm so angry!"

Paimon could no longer control himself. He had traveled for so long but had never seen such a vicious woman. He flew over and attacked the woman with the Eight Kings Fists.

"Where did they take Yu Keke?"

Kong walked forward and grabbed Paimon, asking in a cold voice.

"I don't know. They are very fierce and I dare not ask too much... I only know that they came from Tiandou City..." The woman protected her head with her hands and spoke in a daze.

"Village chief, according to your punishment, what should be done to such people?" After Kong learned of Yu Keke's approximate whereabouts, he turned around and asked Lao Lake.

"We would normally escort such a vicious person to the government for punishment, but our area is so remote that the nearest town is dozens of miles away, so we usually make decisions together as a group of villagers..."

Old Lake bowed and said.

"Well, Paimon, let's go."

Sora nodded and pulled the still very angry Paimon into the darkness.

"Sir, what should we do with this woman?"

Seeing this, Old Lake hurriedly shouted outside.

"According to your rules."

A faint voice and a constant nagging sound of blame were heard in the darkness.

…………

"Traveler, you can't just let that old witch go. She caused Coco to be captured and her father to die. How despicable!"

Kong brought Paimon to the dilapidated thatched hut. As the fire was extinguished, the place was already deserted except for some pungent ashes remaining in the air, and it had returned to its former desolate state.

"She will get what she deserves."

Kong found out from his memory that in the villages of this world, the common method for dealing with ordinary vicious women who committed numerous crimes was to be buried alive.

"By the way, give me Yu Keke's hat."

"Oh, here you go."

Sora took the hat that was still tightly held in Paimon's arms and activated his elemental vision.

I don’t know if it’s because the seal has loosened after entering the new world, but the original elemental vision has also undergone some changes.

One can see some of the obsessions of the owner of the key items from the key items, just as in his eyes at this moment,
A string of complicated words gradually emerged on Yu Keke's hat, which had half of it burned.

The general meaning is: "Please, find dad, help."

"Paimon, we have a new commission."

"Eh? What commission? Is Catherine here too?"

Paimon looked around when he heard this.

When it comes to commissions, her first impression is the figure that appears no matter which country she is in.

"It's a commission from Yu Keke, and it's also our first commission from another world."

Sora put away his hat and looked towards the dilapidated thatched hut.

The criminals will receive the punishment they deserve, and what we need to do now is to rescue Yu Keke as much as possible and complete the request she entrusted us with.

"Coco's request? Is it to find her father to save her? But her father is already dead. So, is it us who are asked to save her?"

Paimon is very sensitive to commissions, because if he completes a commission, he will have Mora, and if he has Mora, he will have delicious food, and if he has delicious food, he will have the energy to complete the commission.

Combined with Yu Keke's shouting at her when she escaped, she actually guessed all of them correctly.

"Hey, how come you've become smarter?" Kong couldn't believe his ears when he heard that.

"Hehe~"

"Huh? No! Paimon has always been smart!"
