Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 812 Threat?

"Why not?" the mother toad said impatiently. "The house burned down! That woman was burned to ashes, leaving only bones on the ground! Rumble! You'll starve to death if you go back!"

Thumbelina's face turned deathly pale: "...No...impossible...no...this is impossible..."

The little toad chuckled, "After you marry me, you'll have a new home, and we can have a whole litter of little toads together! Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

As he spoke, the little toad jumped forward and tried to stick out his tongue to comfort Thumbelina, which frightened Thumbelina so much that she almost fainted.

"Alright, alright!"

The mother toad stopped her son and snorted coldly:

"Where could a little girl with no home go? Don't worry, she'll behave herself once she realizes she can't go anywhere by herself and can't even get food!"

The little toad nodded, a flicker of emotion in its pupils that Thumbelina couldn't decipher, as if it were staring at its own meal, disgusting and sticky.

"Hehe ha quack!"

The little toad excitedly stuck out its tongue and quickly licked the huge mosquito flying overhead. With one lick and one swallow, the mosquito was swallowed into its stomach.

Thumbelina's face turned even paler as she watched this.

"obedient!"

The little toad licked up another mosquito and swallowed it, blinking its bulging eyes as it said:

"If you obey, you won't get beaten!"

Thumbelina's pupils contracted, and she retreated further until she had nowhere left to go. Then, in despair and despair, she looked at the toad mother and child and began to sob softly in anguish.

"Mom! Mom!"

The little toad panicked, its eyes wide as it cried, "She's crying! What do we do if she cries!"

The female toad nonchalantly licked a mosquito, put it in her mouth, swallowed it, and said impatiently:

"Who cares about her! She'll be fine after we get married! Human girls need to be disciplined! With more discipline, they'll become obedient..."

Two toads, one big and one small, enthusiastically discussed marriage in front of Thumbelina, who was crying in terror, completely ignoring the despair and breakdown of the other party involved.

"..."

Yu Shijiu looked at the despairing face of Thumbelina next door, and the fear he had forced onto his face froze for about five or six seconds.

Compared to this... my own "fear" seems utterly flawed... Could a toad really believe it?

"did you see?"

The toad in front of Yu Shijiu suddenly sighed and earnestly advised him:

"You must behave well, only if you behave well will you get food and clean water, and you won't get beaten..."

Getting beaten up? Eating and drinking...

Yu Shijiu's heart skipped a beat. He turned his head to look at the fat toad in front of him, staring into its clear, cold yellow eyes, and asked in a soft, weak voice:

"Wh...what do you mean...what do you mean by 'won', 'won't get beaten'?"

"..."

The fat toad paused for a few seconds, then burst into laughter. "Ribbit! Ha ribbit! So you get beaten for disobeying? Isn't this how you humans discipline people? With sticks, whips, knives, ropes..."

The fat toad clicked his tongue louder and louder as he spoke: "Oh dear, I can't bear to hit my wife like that... As long as you're obedient, as long as you're obedient, I won't hit you..."

Yu Shijiu: "..."

Yu Shijiu suppressed the absurdity of the scene of a toad relentlessly lecturing him and asked softly:

"So, in the past, who, who was beaten up?"

The croaking of the fat toad abruptly stopped.

His bulging, ugly eyes stared straight at Yu Shijiu, and he slowly opened his mouth to make a "ha-gua" sound.

"Why do you ask?"

The fat toad looked at Yu Shijiu warily: "I said I wouldn't hit you as long as you obey!"

"Just remember this!"
