“A barbaric man and a petite woman. What a combination! But sadly, they are beasts. This mighty Lambu won’t like beasts.” Lambu commented with a playful, smug smile while eyeing the Fire Lotus.
He completely ignored the angry roars of Zambu, who prepared to rain fireballs. “I will kill you, bastard.” Zambu lifted his mace and began channeling his aura.
“Hey wild fellow, stop roaring like a kitten, don’t you know any manners?” Lambu commented with a smirk and raised his hand.
Instantly, a spell landed over Zambu’s head, and an iron cage formed over him, completely tapping him inside. Startled by the sudden attack, Zambu began attacking the cage with all his might. He began smashing the cage with fire balls. But they shot back at him, causing great damage.
Fire Lotus hurriedly picked up her wand and tried to break the cage. But it’s a futile effort with her strength.
“Beauty, stop your futile efforts. That spell was cast by my master. Even this mighty Lambu can’t break it.” Lambu replied with a proud smile as he walked close to her.
Fire Lotus felt perplexed by the situation. She did not understand how to save Zambu from such a strong spell. Suddenly, she took out the powerful inscription given by the matriarch of the Fire Kirin clan.
“Don’t come close to me.” Fire Lotus shouted in a stuttering tone while pointing the inscription plate against Lambu.
“Beauty, I mean no harm to you.” Lambu replied in a calm tone, without taking a step forward. But he is wary of the powerful inscription in Fire Lotus hands, which is glowing with solar markings. Even Mohini got alert after seeing the inscription plate.
“I don’t believe you. First, remove this iron cage spell.” Fire Lotus commanded in a faltering tone. From top to bottom, her body is shaking with nervousness.
“That’s not going to happen. First, tell me why you want to meet with young master Kent, and if you answer my question, I will release you both without making a scratch.” Lambu spoke seriously while staring at Fire Lotus.
For a moment, a deep silence formed between them as Fire Lotus began thinking about the motives of Lambu. Based on how Lambu addressed Kent, she understood that Lambu is on Kent’s side. She immediately changed her tone and put on a pleasing face.
“My friend, there seems to be a misunderstanding between us. We are actually old friends of Kent, and we came here to just talk with him. So, let’s leave this matter here. If you release the iron case, we just talk with Kent and leave.” Fire Lotus replied in a pleasing tone.
‘Clap, clap, clap,’ with a wide grin, Lambu began clapping his hands.
“Nice, really nice. What a sweet, pleasant tone and flawless acting! Lady, I fell for you.” Lambu spoke loudly with a mocking look.
Just as he prepared to tease her more, a command came from the top, warning him to finish things faster. With a sigh, Lambu shook his head and put on a serious face.
“Okey, lady, enough drama. Two evolved Fire Kirin’s do not belong in this lowly place. So, tell me what your purpose is in meeting young Master Kent. The inscription in your hands can only deal with me. But my master is watching from the sky. You can’t escape from her.
So, speak honestly.” Lambu asked with a serious look as he changed his form from a handsome young man to a demonic serpent.
As her ploy failed, Fire Lotus began thinking of other means while clutching the inscription plate with both hands.
“Lotus, run away. They can’t do anything to me. You run and save your life.” Zambu, who is stuck inside the iron cage, cried out in a hurried tone.
But Fire Lotus ignored his suggestion on first thought. With a determined face, she decided to face the situation.
“You…” She pointed her finger at Lambu and began speaking. “We came here to meet with the Fire Kirin in Kent’s possession. She is the sister of the young master, Zambu, and belongs to the royal family of the Fire Kirin race. We came here to take her away with us to the stronghold of the Fire Kirin race.
Also, we don’t mean any harm to the person named Kent.” Fire Lotus said everything with a serious look.
Just as Fire Lotus finished, a lady in pearl white clothes appeared before her and sealed her hands. With a flick, the inscription plate slipped from Fire Lotus hands.
Mohini, in her wavey, long, fluttering clothes, stood before Fire Lotus with a smug smile.
“Good. Now you sound honest. But I can sense that this barbarian is holding some ill intention against young master Kent. His face shows anger every time the young master’s name is mentioned. What do you say about this?” Mohini, staring into the Fire Lotus eyes, inquired with a serious look.
“Damn humans, always play tricks instead of facing bravely.” Zambu uttered it with gritted teeth.
Mohini gave him a silly look and completely ignored him like a noisy fly. On the other hand, Fire Lotus clearly understood the strength of Mohini.
“Madam, young master Zambu is the brother of Kavi, the Fire Kirin in Kent’s possession. He is a bit upset because of his sister’s situation. But I promise that we won’t cause any harm to young Master Kent and will leave after meeting with Kavi.” Fire Lotus requested it in a pleading tone.
After listening to her words, Mohini fell in a deep thought. She began considering the ins and outs of the matter. She knows that these Fire Kirin’s will keep coming back as Kent’s pet contains the royal bloodline of the Fire Kirin race.
So, she is thinking of a permanent solution to this problem. Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she remembered a fact about the royal clan of the Fire Kirin race.
“So, this barbarian belongs to the royal clan, right?” Mohini asked while observing Zambu from top to bottom.
“Yes…” Fire Lotus replied sternly.
“Good… Very good.” Mohini muttered with a glowing smile and moved close to the iron cage, in which Zambu was trapped.
“I will let you meet with your sister. I will also take care of your sister’s safety in the future. But only one condition.” Mohini paused as she stared at Zambu with an interesting look.
Zambu tried to stay silent. But Fire Lotus requested that he make amends. Zambu clenched his fists and asked what Mohini’s condition is.
“You should give a copy of ‘Manual of Beast Tongue’ to the young master, Kent.” Mohini replied in a simple tone.
But the facial expressions of both Zambu and Fire Lotus changed with that one sentence.
“Impossible, beast tongue manual can only be passed in the royal family of Fire Kirin’s. I will never give to damn humans.” Zambu roared angrily while holding the iron bars of the cage.
