Chapter 221 You're Not That Kind of Person
Chapter 221
In recent days, Zhu Wuyao has gained a good reputation among the demon race.
Because she was happy to help demons.
Regardless of whether she needed it or not, Zhu Wuyao would always lend a hand to anyone who needed help.
After all, with the "guards" sent by Zilong lurking in the shadows, nothing could go wrong.
At first, they thought Zhu Wuyao was just pretending to gather information, but who knew that he was actually a person who did good deeds without expecting anything in return.
Zhu Wuyao certainly wasn't that kind-hearted.
She was simply trying to make a connection through playing cards.
She had previously worried that making a move might harm others, but in the demon territory, she felt that there was no demon she could not use.
In the primordial era, the demon race occupied most of the world.
Zhu Wuyao did not believe that the demon race was willing to cower in a corner of the Kunci Continent.
Despite their cheerful demeanor today, if the demon race becomes too powerful, they will inevitably become enemies of the human race.
If the time truly comes to using the "Piece of Destiny" technique, it will inevitably be when the demon race bares its fangs and lives are at stake. If a few demons "accidentally" die, that would be a great stroke of luck.
Purple Dragon is not far away.
She saw Zhu Wuyao helping the distillery owner to extort money from a thug who was taking advantage of her.
Zilong watched for a long time until the conflict in the winery escalated and a fight was about to break out. Only then did she wave her hand, signaling her subordinates to step forward and stop it.
Seeing his "good deed" of saving the distillery owner's dog's life being snatched away, Zhu Wuyao felt a little regretful.
"I'm sorry you had to see this, that such a thing happened to our demon race."
Zhu Wuyao turned around and, unsurprisingly, saw that purple dress.
"It's not just the demon race; such things happen all the time."
This seemed to open up a floodgate of conversation, and Zilong said with a smile:
"Yes, whether it's the demon race or the human race, they have something in common. No one can escape the seven emotions and six desires. You humans have..."
His words were all meant to use this opportunity to get Zhu Wuyao to acknowledge the demon race.
This led her to believe that the two races were no different.
Zhu Wuyao nodded repeatedly, earnestly giving a perfunctory response.
Until Zilong asked:
"How's the matter of moving to Lake Feidu coming along?"
In the past few days, Zhu Wuyao has managed to find out some information.
Although the descriptions of Feidu Lake differed among the demons, the content was surprisingly consistent.
Everyone says that Lake Feidu is their most precious treasure.
Moreover, it is only used for praying for blessings and healing.
It almost sounds like it's become a symbol of the demon race's kindness and love of peace.
It seems that the monstrous beasts that roamed the wilderness were not the same species as them at all; they were just kind little elves living in the forest.
Zhu Wuyao was quite surprised.
Because—it doesn't seem fake.
However, she remained wary of the demon race, and even after all that had been said, Zhu Wuyao still thought the worst.
If Feidu Lake is truly nothing more than this, then it can only mean that the demon race fabricated a sacred land and hid their true killing move for millions of years.
Their ambitions are even greater.
Is it possible that Lake Feidu truly only has healing properties, with the healing effect becoming more pronounced after it becomes flowing again? And that it can instantly restore the health of the demon army during battle?
If that's the case, then it seems understandable that the demon race is so eager to repair Feidu Lake.
On the contrary, opinions differ on the love story between the sword immortal and the demon lord.
Some people describe this story as a heart-wrenching love legend, saying that the demon king was seriously injured and the sword immortal entered Feidu Lake but ultimately failed, and the two died for love, remaining together in the world of all living beings;
Some say that the Sword Immortal Qi was a heartless person, and that only a love that could move heaven and earth and make the Flying Lake flow forward again could move it. However, the Sword Immortal did not love the Demon Lord at all, so the Flying Lake remained undisturbed.
Some people cannot accept that the Demon Lord and a human are in love. They say that the Demon Lord seduced the Sword Immortal, and when he was critically injured and on the verge of death, for the sake of the future of the demon race, he tricked the Sword Immortal into coming here with a love letter and led his people to surround and kill her...
As for this last explanation, it is somewhat understandable—
Because the previous Demon Lord was originally a silver fox with an exceptionally handsome appearance.
Young Master Xiao, currently the most handsome man in the cultivation world, would feel inferior in front of the Demon Lord.
Those demons who harbored particular hatred towards humans preferred to believe that their demon lord had seduced them with his appearance rather than that the two were truly in love.
Just like Zhu Wuyao, she couldn't accept that a human sword immortal died because he fell in love with a demon lord.
She believes—
Qi Suowei, the sword immortal, must have her own plans. She pretended to fall in love with the demon lord, but in reality, she wanted to take advantage of his illness and assassinate him in the demon race.
It failed.
If the truth of this past event is indeed as she thinks, Zhu Wuyao finds it somewhat acceptable and even deeply admires her.
But if the Sword Immortal Qi truly falls for the Demon Lord, he could die by the blade of lust...
Zhu Wuyao could only hope that Qi Jianxian could have as much fun as he wanted before he died and not lose money.
She felt her morality declining every day.
Perhaps it was because he was friends with Ye Xiaozhou.
As long as Qi Suowei did not betray the human race, then by all accounts, he lived a carefree life; it was just that his death was somewhat hasty.
She looked at Zilong and said:
"Although I am afraid of death, I will sometimes go to great lengths for my friends."
"But if I enter Lake Feidu, when will I be able to get out?"
Purple Dragon slowly smiled and said:
"Whether it's you or Little Leaf, when Lake Feidu flows again, you will naturally see the light of day again."
Zhu Wuyao's smile vanished abruptly.
She looked up at Zilong, the coldness in her eyes finally showing.
"Has Ye Xiaozhou entered Feidu Lake?"
"That's natural. Although among all living beings, Xiao Yezi can't stay as clear-headed as you for as long, she might be assimilated at any time."
"But when Lake Feidu flows again and the two of you see the light of day once more, the healed injuries and the growth in your cultivation within it will be real."
"That's a great place to prolong life, heal wounds, and cultivate."
Zi Long's voice was as gentle and pleasant as a spring breeze, but Zhu Wuyao could only laugh coldly at it.
"So, some of your demon race also went into Feidu Lake to prolong their lives?"
After Lake Feidu begins to flow again, a great demon may break free and emerge...
"Although it does exist, Lake Feidu only prolongs life, not grants immortality. As time passes, alas... like sand slipping through your fingers, lifespan cannot be retained no matter what."
A glimmer of hope rekindled in Zhu Wuyao's heart.
If that is true, Qi Suowei will enter the realm of the Transformation God. It has not been a thousand years since then, so perhaps he will be able to rise from his coffin.
Hearing that Ye Xiaozhou had entered Feidu Lake.
If it weren't for his lack of strength, Zhu Wuyao would have loved to fight his way out of the demon territory and escape right now.
Once she leaves, Ye Xiaozhou will become the only option for the demon race, which is equivalent to saving his life.
Promoting Lake Fit is no easy task.
In this time, Zhu Wuyao could have gone back to Zhaixing Tower to complain to Sect Leader Fang. As long as he expressed his suspicions, since it concerned both the human and demon races, Sect Leader Fang would not have ignored it.
What does betraying friends and incurring stigma matter? She doesn't care about the demon race's slander.
Zhu Wuyao can tell whether face or substance is more important.
Various thoughts flashed through my mind.
Zhu Wuyao tentatively said:
"I suddenly realized that I am actually quite afraid of death. I would even stab my friends in the back if it meant I had to save my own life."
Zilong smiled and looked at her, saying:
“Miss Zhu is joking. I can tell you’re not that kind of person.”
