Chapter 27 A Misunderstanding
Since that's the case, he decided to speak out what he knew, so that everyone could have a direction to guess in their hearts. Otherwise, even if Ye Qingxuan said that they were not in cahoots with Qingling, Tiger King would appear to believe it on the surface but still have a doubtful attitude in his heart. This is simply an insult to them in the heavenly realm! It would be a good thing for him and everyone else to quickly investigate the matter thoroughly.
Let's just say that even if Tiger King were to give Donghuang Zhong to Zhang Huan unconditionally, he would still refuse it. Without any demonic power to drive Donghuang Zhong, it would be useless even if he took it.
It's like the gold and silver jewelry inside a mirror - visible and touchable, but unattainable. What's the use?
So, Donghuang Zhong is just a waste for cultivators, and even a random elixir would be better than Donghuang Zhong.
However, this is also effective in the immortal world of cultivating immortality. Zhang Huan has to admit that Donghuang Zhong is very popular in the demon world, even among the human race. The strong in the human race can not only cultivate immortality, but they can also convert spiritual power into profound power to drive magical treasures.
Strictly speaking, the human race is like a big mix, they have all kinds of cultivators, as long as the end result is what they want, it doesn't matter.
However, the strong in the human race rely on profound power for cultivation. After achieving success, whether they go to the Western Pure Land or ascend to the immortal world, their ability as humans to transform their spiritual power into profound power is stripped away by the heavenly dao at the moment of ascension.
After all, for ordinary people to cultivate into immortals is already a great blessing from the heavens. If one can also convert spiritual power after becoming an immortal, wouldn't that be too incredible?
Would the heavens allow such a violation of the rules of nature to occur?
Obviously, it is impossible.
"So, Tiger Demon King, your claim that we could be spies sent by the Heavenly Court is unfounded."
At least now we have Ye Qingxuan backing us up. Tiger King and this person in black, they don't even introduce themselves, just call each other by the color of their clothes.
"Ahem, well... that person is Zhang Huan, and he is Dong Huang Taiyi, the leader of the twelve witches."
Zhang Huan, who had never seen the world, was shocked in place. Ye Qingxuan thought, "Could the Twelve Demon Gods be so terrifying in the minds of immortals?"
The great war among the three clans had passed for thousands of years, and there had been no friction between the immortal and demon realms on the surface. Zhang Huan shouldn't be so afraid of Dong Huang Taiyi, should he?
"Boss, you, you... you mean he is Dong Huang Taiyi?"
Excited tone, excited appearance, Zhang Huan is not afraid at all, he is happy, he is too happy.
Originally thought that the twelve The leader of witches. Dong Huang Taiyi had disappeared a thousand years ago, Zhang Huan also thought that the great power had fallen, who knew that there would be such a pleasant surprise on the trip to the demon world.
To say why Zhang Huan admires Dong Huang Taiyi, this must be traced back to the master who led him into the immortal cultivation.
His master pursued the path of immortality and enlightenment throughout his life, but his idol was not the Queen Mother of the West or the Heavenly Emperor, but a member of the demon race, Dong Huang Taiyi. Unfortunately, his master's talent was not enough, and he passed away a long time ago. Zhang Huan became a lonely figure, but he inherited his master's admiration for Dong Huang Taiyi. There was no way to avoid being constantly reminded of Dong Huang Taiyi's great achievements since childhood, with stories that were both captivating and suggestive, leaving a significant impact on his heart.
Unfortunately, the human race can only cultivate immortality and cannot switch to cultivating the path of demons. Otherwise, Zhang Huan would have assumed that his master would further pursue his idol and not be surprised if he converted to demon cultivation.
This episode was just a brief interlude in Zhang Huan's life, as he still has a long lifespan as an immortal now. However, this happy childhood memory will not be forgotten so quickly, and may even be remembered for a lifetime, as it is precious and rare for Zhang Huan.
"I didn't expect to have a legend in the mortal world." Dong Huang Taiyi said with emotion after hearing it.
"You would think that the mortals should worship the True Man Taiyi or the Heavenly Emperor Fairy. It's quite surprising for a monster like him to want to be worshipped by people." He was somewhat astonished.
"What are these mortals thinking? Are there too few incidents of monsters eating people?"
"Have you finished chatting?"
It's never-ending, isn't it!
Look at Jade Rabbit girl, she's so anxious, several times she wanted to interrupt but couldn't get a word in edgewise. Several big men don't understand how to cherish and protect a delicate girl.
Sigh, let's still rely on him to show some kindness, otherwise Jade Rabbit will be in tears.
"Don't worry, your good sister is fine, nothing happened."
Speaking of Jade Rabbit, she's also a fool, why worry about someone who betrayed her. If using Ye Qingxuan's previous words, that's just being too...
Forget it, although Zaun is a great place, the language barrier is a bit of a problem. It's better not to speak out and cause trouble for the gods and goddesses of this world. What if there's a mistake and I have to clean up the mess when I go back?
It's not worth it. I can't just speak my mind for temporary comfort. Enduring for a while will bring peace.
Otherwise, I'll be overworked and exhausted when I go back!
"Really, can I meet Qingling?"
"Is it okay? I have some things to ask her."
Although I'm not sure what the situation is right now, Jade Rabbit knows that Tiger King now respects Ye Qingxuan, and I don't know what method this mortal used, but any method that achieves the goal is a good method.
As for the person called Dong Huang Taiyi, Jade Rabbit says she hasn't heard of him, so he probably isn't a formidable figure, otherwise she would have heard about him from Guanghan Fairy long ago.
If Zhang Huan knew that Jade Rabbit was thinking like this, he would probably be eager to come forward and grab her by the neck.
Would Guanghan Fairy, such a aloof person, mention a witch who poses a huge danger to the Heavenly Court?
If it's really brought up, that would be terrifying. After all, there are quite a few hypocrites in the heavenly court, and no one wants to get into trouble. It's not just about hypocrites, but also the feeling that they, as immortals, should be superior and look down on ordinary people or demons. "Um..."
Tiger King looked at Dong Huang Taiyi with some difficulty, after all, he came to steal his treasure. It's not easy for the old man to make a decision without expressing his stance! Moreover, Ye Qingxuan treats Jade Rabbit much better than himself, what if...
Ah, Tiger King is really in a dilemma, he can't afford to offend either side!
"This was caught in your mansion. What do you want me to do?"
Tiger King This stupid old tiger, if Ye Gao's people finds out that it was against his will, it would be a miracle if he doesn't leave a good impression, let alone have any good feelings towards him.
sage Having spoken, Tiger King naturally dared not disobey. He brought Ye Qingxuan and his entourage to the dungeon, the real dungeon of the Tiger King palace!
Qingling must never have expected to end up being locked in here, and to encounter Jade Rabbit when there seemed to be no way out, and to see her walk over unscathed.
Chapter 28: Willing to Fall
"It's you!"
Upon seeing the figure of Jade Rabbit, Qingling immediately thought that she had come to show off her power. Clearly, they had entered the Tiger King's mansion together, but in the end, only she was captured and tortured. This is unfair! Not fair at all!
"You came to see how miserable my situation is now, didn't you? Well, now you see it, right?" Qingling was full of wounds and a mocking expression on her face. "Now that you've seen it, you can leave!"
"No, Qingling, I..."
Jade Rabbit I don't know why Qingling holds such a grudge against herself. It seems like she hasn't done anything wrong. Why did things end up like this in the end?
"No need to explain. I brought all this misery upon myself. Go ahead and laugh if you want," Qingling said resentfully, looking at Jade Rabbit, whose expression dimmed.
In Ye Qingxuan's view, the only reason Qingling might find fault with Jade Rabbit is probably because Jade Rabbit is more talented than her. Seeing someone who is inferior in every way suddenly become a celestial being in the heavenly realm, she must feel a sense of imbalance in her heart.
In addition, Jade Rabbit ascended to immortality, so in the demon world, the two of them were constantly bullied by the little demons, leaving only Qingling alone. As time went on, her heart became more and more twisted.
Moreover, from Jade Rabbit's words, there was still a connection between them after Jade Rabbit ascended to the heavenly realm. Is it possible that Qingling saw Jade Rabbit's increasingly better life in the heavenly realm, combined with her own miserable situation, and her mindset just collapsed?
So she set a trap, making Jade Rabbit go inside.
If she succeeds, she can become a strong figure with the power of Donghuang Zhong.
On the downside, if she fails, she can also pull down Jade Rabbit to cushion her fall. After all, sisters should help each other in times of trouble, so this is not an impossible scenario.
The distortion of human nature is fully displayed in Qingling.
Of course, all of this is just Ye Qingxuan's speculation, but the information he obtained from the subsequent conversation between Jade Rabbit and Qingling was pretty much in line with his own thoughts. Indeed, there's always something worse, never the worst.
This little demon has always wanted Jade Rabbit's life, whether out of jealousy or for some other reason, she has always wanted Jade Rabbit dead!
This time unsuccessful, next time she will come back with renewed vigor.
"Jade Rabbit, what sisterly feelings are you talking about? Can't you see that your friend has changed, completely changed."
In terms of handling things, Zhang Huan obviously understands the ugliness of human nature better than Jade Rabbit, after all, he lives in the mortal world and sees these calculating dramas every day, unlike Jade Rabbit who has always lived in the Guanghan Palace and under the protection of Chang'e, has become more and more naive and innocent.
After all, the immortals in the heavenly realm have no time to bother with a rabbit that has nothing.
"But..."
But Qingling is still the only good friend in the demon realm, even though she betrayed me, Jade Rabbit cannot just stand by and watch her suffer.
"The Ye Brothers, I feel that this matter is not simple. At the beginning, my suspicion was well-founded."
In the demon world, only the ten great demon kings knew that Dong Huang Taiyi was sleeping in his mansion, and even fewer knew about Donghuang Zhong. Why did this kind of thing happen during this sensitive period of abnormal activity in the demon clan, when a thousand years had passed without incident? If it's not the heavens playing tricks, then it's the work of the demon clan.
Just now it was mentioned that the immortals in the heavenly realm cannot use Donghuang Zhong, so there is a high possibility that it could be the demon clan.
The demon clan is divided into two parts.
One part is the purebred demon clan, and the other part can be the human clan practicing unorthodox methods and entering the demon realm to become part of the demon clan. This principle also applies in the demon realm.
Is it possible that the demon clan instructed Qingling to steal Donghuang Zhong and then rewarded her greatly? Perhaps they even supported her to become a dominant power, with even grander ambitions such as promising Qingling the position of a demon king when the demon clan eventually conquers the demon realm. "Do you think my analysis makes sense?" Tiger King is someone who can't keep his thoughts to himself, moving his lips up and down, directly expressing how despicable the demon clan can be!
"Maybe..." Ye Qingxuan pondered, stroking his chin.
In that case, just how chaotic is this world?
It feels uneasy to vacation here no matter what...
The more I think about it, the more I feel that the conspiracy theory is too heavy. Ye Qingxuan expressed that he didn't want to get involved at all.
"Hmph, since you know that I am a messenger sent by the demon clan to the demon realm, why don't you obediently let me go!"
Qingling, who was exposed, showed no remorse, and even delusionally thought that Tiger King would be concerned about the remaining power of the demon clan and let her go.
Her clever plan did not work out. Not to mention that the demon clan suffered countless casualties during the war of ten thousand years, and after being sealed, they all retreated underground for thousands of years without coming out.
After ten thousand years, even if the seal has loosened, the demon realm would not fear the demon clan. Even if the demon clan were to come out, the ones who would be most afraid are definitely the immortals in the heavenly realm, because they are the number one enemies of the demon clan.
With the intervention of the heavenly realm, even if the demon clan wants to cause trouble for their demon realm, they would probably have to think twice.
The demon ancestor of the demon clan was formed from a trace of evil thoughts of the great god Pangu.
Three thousand demon gods obstructed the path, but later they were destroyed by righteous and talented people, gathering the resentment of many fallen demon gods. After ten thousand years, the power of this trace of divine power grew stronger and developed into a race that could potentially cause great harm to the three realms.
As long as there are delusions, the stronger the greedy and longing thoughts, as long as you are willing and desire even greater power, the gates of the demon clan can be open to any creature in the three realms.
Ten thousand years ago, the missionary in the Western world fell into demonhood, which has always been a taboo in Buddhism and a huge disaster in the Three Realms. Fortunately, the great calamity eventually resolved, which was a blessing in disguise.
Since then, everyone in the Three Realms has been extremely repulsed by the demon race, but they have no way to eliminate them, only to seal them.
"Even facing death, they still don't repent!" Tiger King couldn't bear to watch anymore.
The worldview of monsters is not filled with so many conspiracies. If they don't like something, they will go straight to the point without any mercy.
"I don't think there's a need for an investigation. She has already admitted it. If we don't kill her, the demon clan will think that our monster world is defenseless and become afraid!"
The seal of the demon clan is loosening. I don't know if the people of the heavenly realm are idiots. They should reinforce the seal immediately. Do they have to wait until the demon clan comes out and threatens the three realms before it's too late for everything?
"Qingling, how could you willingly fall into the company of the demon clan? Even if you stole Donghuang Zhong, they probably won't spare you."
Jade Rabbit earnestly advised, believing that Qingling must have been bewitched by the demon clan to do such a thing, and would not betray their friendship.
"Don't pretend to care here. It's my own business to associate with the demon clan. Now that I've fallen into your hands, I accept it. Whether to kill or torture, it's up to you."
Chapter 29 foreigners
Qingling is also tough. She knows that Tiger King will not let her go. Begging for mercy in tears is not as good as being tough before death.
"But..." Jade Rabbit wanted to say something else, but was taken away by Ye Qingxuan, " Qingling no longer considers you a friend. Even if you plead for her, she won't thank you."
Everyone has to pay the price for what they do. Since Qingling has the courage to come and steal Donghuang Zhong, she should be prepared to face the wrath of Dong Huang Taiyi and the Tiger King.
The matter of the demon realm is not something anyone should meddle in. Even if Dong Huang Taiyi spared Qingling for the sake of his own face, what should they do next? Are they supposed to keep a person with hidden intentions by their side? Perhaps Qingling might leave on her own, and who knows if she might launch a fatal blow against them at any time and place.
For such a person, Ye Qingxuan believes that allowing her to spend her life in the dungeons of the demon realm is already a great mercy.
"But my parents... I don't know how they are doing."
Seeing Qingling like this, Jade Rabbit felt disheartened and didn't want to drag her friend into it.
However, she had indeed been unable to contact her parents, otherwise she wouldn't have come to the demon realm from Guanghan Palace without hesitation based solely on Qingling's words.
"Don't worry, I've just found out for you."
The parents of Jade Rabbit did indeed get into trouble and have been detained, but they are not in immediate danger. They are currently not in Tiger King's place, but in another location.
"Where are they? Tell me quickly!"
As soon as he heard the news about his parents and that they were safe, Jade Rabbit felt much better. Seeing Ye Qingxuan like this, he knew that he had a way, so he relaxed.
He didn't know why he now believed Ye Qingxuan so much, as if he felt that as long as he nodded, there was nothing he couldn't do.
Now that he said not to worry, it was obvious that he already knew a lot about the situation. Jade Rabbit urgently wanted to know what had happened at home.
"Cough... um, your parents were indeed arrested. Let Tiger King explain the details. The division of power in the demon world is not something Ye Qingxuan is very familiar with, and he is too lazy to bother with it, so he just threw the problem back to Tiger King."
"...I, okay."
Since the big shot has spoken, it doesn't matter if he says it again.
It turns out that Jade Rabbit's parents helped an outsider, who strictly speaking is also a member of the demon race, but the demon world doesn't recognize it at all.
There's no way around it. This outsider's mother is a demon, but the father is a genuine human. The offspring of the two races is a Half-demon.
The demon realm is very hostile towards half-demons, as they are seen as an ominous symbol. Jade Rabbit's parents got into trouble for secretly helping a half-demon and bringing them home. They were arrested as a result.
"What should I do then?"
It had been a long time since Jade Rabbit had visited the demon realm, but she knew that sometimes the racial prejudices in the demon realm were very distorted. Just like how her cultivation into an immortal was originally a good thing, but everyone thought that since Jade Rabbit had become an immortal, she was no longer considered a member of the demon race.
The saying goes, "Those who are not of our kind have hearts that can be condemned." The Jade Rabbit itself is a demon, isolated for its insistence on cultivating immortality, not to mention being a Half-demon, with half-human blood flowing through its veins, something the demon realm cannot accept.
However, there are also a few who are not bound by racial prejudices, such as Jade Rabbit's family. They are inherently kind, and helping a lonely and helpless child is simply something within their power. They didn't expect to stir up trouble.
"It's too late today. Wait until tomorrow, and I will personally take you to visit the Fox King at his mansion. Considering my face, he should be able to release the parents of The Ye Brothers, your friends."
Tiger King promised, what if that old fox doesn't agree?
Hehe, no need to do it yourself, I'm afraid that in order to repay the favor to Ye Qingxuan, Great Sage Ta Yi will just go up and start a fight.
"Okay, then we'll disturb you."
Ye Qingxuan, feeling at ease staying at Tiger King's place, realized that he hadn't had a good night's sleep since he arrived. He either slept outdoors or on tree trunks, and it was very uncomfortable without a proper bed. After everyone left, Ye Qingxuan prepared to sleep, but Jade Rabbit walked in. "Brother Ye, I think we should leave. I have a feeling that Tiger King isn't helping us out of the goodness of his heart," Jade Rabbit said, unable to sleep in the room and deciding to share his concerns with Ye Qingxuan.
"It's okay, he doesn't have the guts for that, Tiger King."
Patting Jade Rabbit on the head, thinking whether rabbits are all so timid, suspicious of every little movement. I don't know if it's because of her natural talent or the grace of God that she became an immortal in a few hundred years.
"Alright."
"But..." Jade Rabbit hesitated to speak.
"Don't 'but' me. Trust me, tomorrow I will take you to see your parents. Tonight, you should get a good night's sleep. Your dark circles are so heavy, I can't bear to look at them," he teased Jade Rabbit to help her relax her tense mind. After a moment of hesitation, she didn't say anything else and obediently went back to rest.
Watching Jade Rabbit leave, Ye Qingxuan closed the door.
He yawned and eagerly lay down on the bed in a typing position, "Comfortable!"
Before he could continue to reflect, his door was knocked on again.
"..." Damn, will this girl ever stop?
With a bang, the door was forcefully opened. Just as I was about to give Jade Rabbit a piece of my mind for not going to bed at this late hour, I realized that the person outside was not who I had expected at all.
"Ye... Ye Gao's people, you're still awake. Can I come in?"
He hesitated for a moment and then squeezed in before Dong Huang Taiyi could speak. "What does this guy want to do?" Ye Qingxuan thought, but he didn't show it on his face. "Don't call me a master, I admit that I'm tall, but it feels weird coming from your mouth."
At least I'm still in my prime at the age of twelve, calling myself that makes me feel old. Clearly, I'm a young and energetic lad.
"Just call that big old tiger, when we walk the rivers and lakes, we address each other as brothers."
Speaking of this, Ye Qingxuan also remembered, "You witches don't live by eating demons, why does Tiger King still respect you so much?"
This seems to be different from what I know. It seems that the legend doesn't quite match up!
"Eating demons?"
Dong Huang Taiyi seemed puzzled, then surprised. "After the war between witches and demons, we also reached a reconciliation with the demon realm. Later, we found that even without eating demons, we could rely on the demon power to improve our cultivation. Moreover, there were no side effects of extracting power from eating demons. Over time, witches and demons were officially integrated into the demon realm and became members of the demon race."
Chapter 30 Arrogant VIPs
Originally from the same root, why rush to fight each other? After that, there were no more incidents of the Wu tribe eating demons. Unpleasant events of power change over thousands of years were soon forgotten in the long river of time.
"Ye Gao... No, do The Ye Brothers know about The War of the Witches?"
As far as he knew, that war had passed tens of thousands of years ago, and many traces had been erased. Now, there were not even a few words left. Why could Ye Qingxuan know about The War of the Witches so clearly, and also know that they occurred because of the practice of consuming demons?
Only those who had truly experienced that war would know so clearly. Could it be...
"You also say that I am an expert, and experts always have some secrets." Don't ask, if you ask, I won't tell you, guess!
"It was me who crossed the line."
A few drops of cold sweat slid down Dong Huang Taiyi's forehead. Ye Qingxuan's momentum at this moment was very strong, enough to make a long-standing superior feel overwhelming pressure.
"Okay, as long as you know."
Disturbing his rest time, Ye Qingxuan would be strange to have a good temper, and it's not like he needs to be treated delicately just because he's a girl.
"Speak up, what's the matter with coming to me late at night?" Can't be looking to hook up with him, right...
Um, it seems like I thought of some colorful waste, scratch that!
A dignified man of seven feet, how can he possibly go for a soft and cute girl? Even if the man in front of me looks okay, it cannot shake the fact that he is straighter than steel bars!
"It's like this, after I woke up from my slumber, I found that my connection with Donghuang Zhong was cut off, probably because our fate has come to an end."
Took out the delicate Donghuang Zhong, Dong Huang Taiyi showed no reluctance in his eyes, even carefully paying attention to Ye Qingxuan's emotions. Seeing that he did not resist, he continued, "Today, I will give it to The Ye Brothers as a token of gratitude for saving me." Without Ye Qingxuan, he might have needed tens of thousands of years to recover from his injuries, and even then, the situation of the witch clan would be uncertain after tens of thousands of years.
Dong Huang Taiyi couldn't wait any longer, he had important matters to attend to. Just then, Ye Qingxuan appeared and awakened him, healing all the hidden injuries on his body one by one.
It's unclear how Ye Qingxuan treated him, but one thing is certain: it must have involved extremely precious spiritual treasures.
People have bled profusely just to awaken themselves, and Dong Huang Taiyi feels that his Donghuang Zhong is actually not that valuable in front of Ye Qingxuan. Now, he might not even be able to give it away.
"You...Donghuang Zhong Is this for me?"
Can a random little pill be exchanged for a Donghuang Zhong, a precious treasure of the world?
Is this person stupid?
Can the destined magical weapon be given away so casually?
Three consecutive doubts puzzled Ye Qingxuan, and he didn't even react when Donghuang Zhong was put down and left by others.
Looking at the delicate and exquisite Donghuang Zhong on the table, Ye Qingxuan thought to himself that he has no spiritual power, so what use does he have for this thing...
However, since the other party is well-intentioned, not accepting it might seem like not understanding human feelings. Perhaps Dong Huang Taiyi will think that he has offended himself. After thinking it over, Ye Qingxuan decided to temporarily put away Donghuang Zhong. Whether it can be used or not, that's another matter for now. After putting the item away, Ye Qingxuan deliberately waited for a few minutes, making sure that no one would knock on the door before finally falling asleep.
I slept without dreams for a night, feeling particularly at ease.
I have to say, the extremely narcissistic Tiger King has a good eye for the quality of life. Everything at home is extremely luxurious, even the bed is made of soft golden silk quilts.
I heard from Jade Rabbit that this fabric can only be woven by the Weaver Girl. I really don't know where Tiger King got it from. He's really rich and powerful!
"Comfortable, really comfortable. If I could sleep with these kinds of bedsheets and this kind of quilt every day, the quality of sleep would be amazing." Ye Qingxuan is already planning to get a set to take back home to improve the quality of sleep.
After chatting for a while, Tiger King took Ye Qingxuan and the others straight to Fox King's mansion to ask for someone.
"Great Sage Ta Yi has already left for something, he asked me to give you this jade slip so you can contact him if needed."
Speaking of Tiger King, he handed a translucent jade slip with strange symbols engraved on it to Ye Qingxuan, with an indescribable envy in his eyes.
"Oh, I see," said Ye Qingxuan.
Seeing Tiger King so envious, Ye Qingxuan hid the Donghuang Zhong on his body.
A single bead of envy has turned into this. If they knew that Dong Huang Taiyi gave his own life artifact to himself, wouldn't they be insanely jealous? In order to not let Tiger King be affected and to ensure his performance later, Ye Qingxuan also showed rare kindness, considerately letting Tiger King remain clueless. After a while, upon learning that Tiger King had brought a few people over and was clamoring outside for someone.
Originally calm and composed, the Fox King was now filled with doubt. Who could make the usually arrogant Tiger King stand at his own door and shout, disregarding his own dignity? " Tiger King, what are you here for?" The Tiger King and his entourage were invited in, despite the usual animosity between the two rulers. Fox King naturally did not have a good expression at this moment.
Fox King can't stand the extreme narcissistic personality of Tiger King. How can one imagine that there are demons in this world even more vain than foxes? So Fox King just can't stand this tiger.
As for Tiger King, he's a big rough guy with a simple mind and no twists and turns in his belly. Naturally, he can't stand the slyness of the fox. The best result between the two is to never have any contact.
But now there's no way around it. Jade Rabbit's parents are still in their hands. Even if he doesn't want to come, he has to come and meet this cunning fox for the sake of Ye Qingxuan.
"I heard that you recently caused quite a stir over a Half-demon. Is that true?
The straightforward Tiger King quickly revealed the matter of Jade Rabbit's parents, and then demanded Fox King to release the person. His attitude always seems a bit superior, which irritated Fox King.
"What if I say I won't release them?"
The dead tiger actually dares to speak to me like this. They really think they can bully me like a fox.
You say to release the person, then release the person. If word gets out that this Fox King is a laughingstock, then no matter what, I cannot lose face today, and I cannot release the person!
"What should we do? It seems like Fox King is not willing to compromise...
Jade Rabbit As an immortal, it's not appropriate to intervene even if it involves outsiders, especially if it's her own parents who are being detained. If she speaks out, the situation will escalate beyond the demon realm, potentially affecting the peace between the two realms. She might risk becoming a criminal for eternity if she disrupts the balance between the two realms. Despite her anxiety, Jade Rabbit knows Fox King to some extent. He is not a cruel person, so even if he has detained her parents, they are unlikely to be in any life-threatening danger.
Chapter 31 half-demon teenager
"Don't worry, I've got everything under control."
Comforting the Jade Rabbit, Ye Qingxuan stepped forward and asked, "So, Fox King, are you really not planning to release the person?"
Not bothering to watch the two monsters argue, after talking for a long time without any definite result, he started to get impatient...
"Who are you, daring to meddle in my business? Do you not want to live!"
Speaking, Fox King released a killing move towards Ye Qingxuan in an attempt to warn Tiger King, after all, the person was brought by him. If he still didn't know what's good for him, then it would be his turn next!
Unexpectedly, Tiger King remained calm and composed, as if he was ready to watch a show, completely ignoring the fact that he might kill the person in front of him. Although Fox King was puzzled, his actions did not stop.
Dealing with a mortal, Fox King could easily do it with just a flick of his finger. However, now, in order to warn Fox King, he used his own tail as a weapon. His nine tails could extend indefinitely, and at this moment, one fierce tail was aimed at Ye Qingxuan.
I thought the result for this mortal would definitely be blood splattering on the spot, but unfortunately, not only did I not see the scene I wanted to see, but my tail was easily caught by this useless mortal.
"Hands on at the drop of a hat?" Ye Qingxuan expressed that he had never been so arrogant, it seems that all nine-tailed foxes are such cunning creatures.
Clearly it was Tiger King who was talking to him, but I was attacked after saying just one sentence. If it weren't for these little animals, I wouldn't even bother, relying on Fox King's strength, exchanging with Zhang Huan or Jade Rabbit would probably result in only minor injuries.
"How...how is this possible!"
Fox King tried to retract his tail, but no matter how hard he shook it, the long tail was firmly held in the person's hand.
Struggling to break free, Fox King felt a sense of despair. How could this mortal be so terrifying? Concealing his cultivation and bullying a monster, what kind of hero was that!
Unfortunately, he only showed a little weakness in his heart, but he couldn't afford to lose face in front of his subordinates. He was the king of a clan, and losing face on his own turf would be a laughingstock in the future...
"Little animals shouldn't be so irritable. It's not good to get angry and spit blood," Ye Qingxuan said, relaxing the pressure on his hand. The Fox King took the opportunity to retract his tail.
"Can we talk properly now?"
The two little animals kept babbling without getting to the point, otherwise Ye Qingxuan wouldn't have intervened.
Otherwise, if this continues, it will be dark before Jade Rabbit's parents even get to see him.
"......Yes, please come inside."
Fox King was afraid that if he didn't agree with the person in front of him, a fight would break out. Even now, he still felt a lingering pain in his tail, which was truly the saddest thing in a fox's life, without a doubt.
Finally inside, Ye Qingxuan took a look around Fox King's residence. Overall, it was much better in taste compared to Tiger King, but the luxurious style was basically the same, if not more excessive.
After all, Tiger King is narcissistic, and it may seem a bit strange to outsiders that everything at home is about himself, but in his view, it's perfectly normal.
But Fox King is different. They are a shrewd animal with a wealthy background, and every blade of grass in their mansion is a type of medicinal herb.
In the words of Zhang Huan, it's like hundreds of years of ginseng, wild grass growing one after another...
Zhang Huan, who had always lived in poverty, even after becoming an immortal, had hardly seen any improvement in his life, which made Ye Qingxuan envious. "Enough with the envy, what's the use of it when you always say that money is just an external thing and useless," Ye Qingxuan looked at Zhang Huan with disdain, to which the latter shrugged indifferently. "I did say that before, but can money compare to the wonders of nature, or to centuries-old medicinal herbs?"
The existence that many cultivators fought over when released, in the past, Zhang Huan could only look from a distance. But at Fox King's mansion, these things could be stepped on at will, a disparity that Ye Qingxuan could not understand.
"Hey, I wonder if those few will be discovered. Anyway, it shouldn't be a problem since they are everywhere," Zhang Huan said, starting to get excited.
However, Ye Qingxuan and the others knew that Zhang Huan was joking. Although he was poor, he still had some basic conscience. It would be against the demeanor of a cultivator to steal under the owner's nose.
When everyone arrived at inside, they all sat down, and Fox King had someone brought up.
"This is..." Tiger King looked him over and found that he was a very weak mortal. However, he didn't dare to underestimate mortals, after all, he had been struck by Ye Qingxuan before.
"Original Sin."
The simple two words were enough to make Tiger King understand, "He is the outsider born to your sister Nine Heavens?"
Nine Heavens is of the Green Hills Fox clan, the youngest sister of Fox King. She was sent from the Qingqiu to the demon realm due to her natural defiance of discipline, for Fox King to discipline her well. Who knew that not only was she untamable, but she also ended up having an affair with a mortal, giving birth to a Half-demon and bringing disaster to the demon realm.
"Hmph, I don't have a sister like that."
For Fox King, having this little sister is simply the ultimate embarrassment, so in a fit of anger, he banished her to the Exile Lands to fend for herself.
Originally, he spared his troublesome nephew's life in the mortal realm out of consideration for their blood ties. Little did he know that this Half-demon had found his way to the demon realm and had been lurking there until discovered by others. This greatly angered Fox King.
He thought, "I spared your life out of kindness, as long as you stay out of my sight for the rest of your days, I will pretend you don't exist, for the sake of our sister."
But you insist on coming to the demon realm, and you were even discovered by your own people. Isn't that just exposing the foolish things done by the Green Hill Fox Clan for everyone to ridicule? How can this be tolerated? Do you still care about Fox King's reputation?
So Fox King captured his own half-demon nephew and imprisoned the couple who had been sheltering him, subjecting them to torture.
"Is that all?"
The Tiger King quietly informed Ye Qingxuan of the cause and effect, to which his initial reaction was one of disapproval.
You said that Half-demon is a disaster for the demon world, but as far as he knows, there are no signs of any disasters happening in the demon world right now. It is as peaceful and harmonious as the heavenly realm. Where is the disaster?
In Ye Qingxuan's view, the demon world... no, for Fox King, this kind of behavior is prejudice. Even if you are doing the right thing, in his eyes, it is wrong, it is an opposing attitude.
"I say, Fox King, your prejudice is too deep. Can you tell me what disasters have happened in your demon world since people arrived there?"
"Is it an earthquake, or a flood?"
Even if it's a flood, it's still a natural disaster, and it has nothing to do with humans, demons, or half-demons.
Chapter 32: Can I follow you?
Several questions in a row left Fox King feeling confused. If this were a normal situation, he would have already gone to see Yama King, but the one speaking to him now is Ye Qingxuan! Fox King doesn't dare to act rashly and even seems to be standing there taking a scolding. He has no choice; he can't beat the person in front of him, Ye Qingxuan. Even if Fox King feels stubborn, he can only endure it. As long as he still wants his tail, he has to sit quietly on the side, even if the words behind him become more and more unpleasant, he will pretend not to hear them.
"Go ahead..."
In the end, Fox King reluctantly expressed that he could spare Jade Rabbit's parents and overlook their previous mistakes.
He only hopes that Ye Qingxuan can leave quickly and stop torturing himself.
When was he, the majestic Fox King, the king of the clan, being scolded by a mortal while being held by the ear, even the cocoons were stirred up...
This is not the most crucial part. The most crucial part is that he couldn't even win the fight, which made the Fox King who always believed in taking action rather than complaining very angry!
"What about him?"
The child is so thin and small, probably around fifteen or sixteen years old, but looks only eleven or twelve due to his small size. Ye Qingxuan looked at the young man in front of him and felt a sense of sympathy.
You say Half-demon is also a person. This Fox King is his direct nephew, at least he is the offspring of his little sister. He doesn't understand how to protect his own family and still wants to torment others. It shows that Fox King is not a good person!
"Bold! Ye Qingxuan, you are going too far. I have already promised to spare the two rabbit demons in the dungeon, and you still want to have designs on them!"
Absolutely not, absolutely not!
Hearing Ye Qingxuan half-jokingly wanting to take away his nephew, Fox King felt a serious challenge to his authority for the first time, and immediately disagreed.
But after he finished speaking, he felt some regret. He was afraid that if Ye Qingxuan got upset, he would really be in trouble!
"Uh..."
I just said not to be too harsh on your nephew, and to be careful of karma and the cycle of heaven's retribution.
I didn't expect Fox King to get so excited, which left Ye Qingxuan at a loss for words. After all, it's someone else's family matter, so why should he meddle so much!
"celestial being, can I follow you?"
The young man who had been kneeling unexpectedly opened his eyes, which showed no emotion. There was a hint of longing in his eyes, which disappeared in the angry gaze of Fox King.
"Boss, he looks so pitiful..."
The tattered clothes, and even shackles on the feet, isn't the Fox King too cruel to his own sister's child?! "It's not your turn to speak here. Take this troublemaker away!" The angry Fox King dared not lay a hand on Ye Qingxuan, but dealing with a weak Half-demon was still well within his capabilities, after all, the weak could not make a sound when being disciplined by him.
With a command from Fox King, two monsters quickly entered to take the young man away.
"Wait."
Originally, Ye Qingxuan didn't want to get involved in other people's business, but seeing Fox King now made him feel a little unhappy. The consequence of being unhappy is that he also has to make others unhappy before he can come back happy.
"I'll take this young man."
Since the demon realm doesn't welcome Half-demons, then it should be fine to follow oneself. Besides, the young man just indicated that he wants to follow me. Although he may misunderstand and think I am an immortal, Ye Qingxuan believes that he is not much weaker than those great golden immortals. At worst, I can still defeat a demon king.
"You..."
After thinking for a while, Fox King refused Ye Qingxuan's request for someone.
"Not possible? Then I'm sorry..."
Ye Qingxuan wants to, Fox King should have misunderstood. Even if Fox King disagrees, Ye Qingxuan will take him away today.
Facing the provocation, Fox King must confront Ye Qingxuan even if it means putting on a brave face, otherwise the demon realm will question his identity as the demon king!
A golden light blossomed in his hand, instantly transforming into a glass-like flame giant blade. The golden glass-like light scattered like a jumping purple snake upon contact, and the golden glass giant blade surged as if nothing had happened, the soaring flames shooting straight up hundreds of feet into the sky. In an instant, the atmosphere and waves caused by the extremely fast aerial movement covered a hundred miles.
Soon, Fox King's moves rushed towards Ye Qingxuan, who pushed aside the people around him and met the attack head-on.
"Is that all?"
The sarcastic remark made Fox King even angrier, and he attacked even more fiercely.
You don't have to say, the tricks that the demon wants to play are particularly cool, I don't know if it's because the other party is the Fox King, the heavens always favor the Nine-Tailed Fox clan.
Up to now, the only monster who has fought with Ye Qingxuan is nine infant, but most of nine infant's moves rely on its own body size, not as fancy as Fox King.
"Use any means you have left, or else there won't be any time left!"
Hurry up and finish the fight and leave as soon as possible. Ye Qingxuan also doesn't want to wander around in the demon realm. It seems that there is nothing particularly exciting to keep him here.
"Damn it!"
Fox King's eyes were bloodshot, and he showed no intention of stopping. Blood oozed from his pupils, flowed out of his eye sockets, and hung on his face like two lines of bloody tears.
It's as if he's been fooled, and at this moment, the Fox King is furious, wishing he could skin Ye Qingxuan alive! He raises his head, and the golden patterns on the skin exposed by the Fox King's clothes seem to come to life, undulating as if they want to pierce through his skin from underneath. "I hope it works!"
Seeing the imposing stance of Fox King, Ye Qingxuan remained calm and composed, standing still without moving a step.
"Oh no, Fox King is about to unleash his ultimate move!" Tiger King shouted anxiously from the sidelines, worried that Ye Qingxuan might not be able to withstand Fox King's fatal blow.
Suddenly, the golden patterns all over Fox King's body burst into a violent and dazzling light, causing his clothes to burst open, revealing his true form!
The giant fox spirit's eyes turned red, and it swung its arms forward, unleashing two dragon-like energy whips at Ye Qingxuan, sending his whole body soaring into the sky!
Suddenly, the Fox King twisted its body in mid-air and let out a tremendous roar, as seventeen swift energy streams, resembling flashing white swords, swirled and darted through the air.
Dozens of demon-powered energy whips attacked Ye Qingxuan, and no matter how powerful his abilities were, he would inevitably be struck.
"Completed, completed, can the boss hold on?!"
"Damn it, why didn't that nine infant guy show up at a critical moment! It's really annoying!"
Zhang Huan was so anxious that he stomped his feet, but his weak cultivation couldn't help at all, and he could only watch Ye Qingxuan being beaten by Fox King one-sidedly!
Nine infant was originally planning to go out, but as soon as there was a little movement, he was held down by Ye Qingxuan. Obviously, the other party didn't need his help, so he didn't bother with that bustling situation.
