Chapter 218 Purple Dragon
Chapter 218 Purple Dragon
"Ye Xiaozhou!"
Zhu Wuyao suddenly woke up. She sat up and saw the curtains hanging down beside the bed. The brocade quilts were warm and comfortable, and there was a sandalwood square table and an incense burner with curling smoke.
His injuries seemed to have mostly healed.
The surrounding spiritual energy was extremely rich, even surpassing the small courtyard in the Star-Picking Tower where a spirit-gathering array was set up.
She quickly rolled over and got out of bed.
Before I even reached the door, there was a knock.
Zhu Wuyao instinctively reached for the sword, but after grabbing at empty air, he realized that the Wufeng Sword had been destroyed.
"Enter."
She has regained her senses and clearly understood the current situation.
She must have been rescued by humans, no, she must have been rescued by the demon race.
The most urgent task is to find out about Ye Xiaozhou's situation.
With a creak, the door was pushed open, and a woman dressed in a light purple gauze dress with tassels and a hairpin hanging from her temple walked in. She carried a tray and had a smile on her face as she gracefully walked over.
She placed the tray on the table.
The aroma of ginseng soup wafted out as the earthenware pot was opened. The woman in the purple dress, while ladling soup into a white jade bowl, asked with a smile:
"Our distinguished guest has arrived, and we have not yet had the pleasure of welcoming you. We are unsure how to address you."
His tone was light and cheerful, making him very easy to like, and he spoke very politely.
This made Zhu Wuyao even more wary.
It should be noted that her injuries were not easily healed, yet they were now six or seven tenths healed, which was enough to demonstrate the power and influence of the woman before her.
Zhu Wuyao recalled Ye Xiaozhou boasting in the mine that she and the demon clan's Purple Dragon were sisters and had a good relationship.
I thought it was just nonsense.
It wasn't until they were on the run that Ye Xiaozhou said the demon clan's Purple Dragon would come to their aid, and only then did they realize the truth of the matter.
The woman in the purple dress in front of me is most likely the "Purple Dragon".
She didn't know Zi Long, but she knew Ye Xiaozhou.
If the person in front of her wasn't strong enough, why would the usually arrogant Ye Xiaozhou address her as "sister"?
Ye Xiaozhou's original words at the time were: When she makes friends with others, she is never superior to them, nor is she inferior to them.
This is not like her at all.
Therefore, the person in front of her not only wielded great power but could also easily use demon clan pills to heal her, a complete stranger.
Moreover, their level of understanding is very high.
He might even be extremely skilled in combat...
As Zhu Wuyao gazed at the delicate wrist that seemed so fragile as it was serving her soup, she couldn't help but imagine a magnificent, powerful purple dragon.
The scene before them suddenly seemed extremely ominous.
She quickly took the bowl of ginseng soup and said:
"My name is Zhu Wuyao. How is Ye Xiaozhou doing now?"
Zilong smiled and sat down, gesturing for Zhu Wuyao to sit as well, and said:
"Her life has been saved, but her cultivation will not recover for a while. She is currently healing in the sacred land of my demon race."
Zhu Wuyao breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the bowl in her hand, and sat down.
Fortunately.
As long as you survive, your cultivation level can gradually increase.
Zilong continued:
"You two have come to a place that is too far away from me. If it weren't for the clansmen finding the token on Xiao Yezi and bringing her here, I would have been inadequate in my hospitality."
At that time, the attack of the city lord was not enough to cause the teleportation array to deviate, but the teleportation array there could not directly teleport to the territory of the demon race.
Therefore, they traveled a long way.
His voice was cheerful, and his attitude was kind.
Zhu Wuyao lowered her head and drank her soup, fully aware of her own level of skill and ability.
Even with Ye Xiaozhou's connection, it wouldn't be enough for this Zilong to treat her with such courtesy.
Moreover, now that she and Ye Xiaozhou are seriously injured, it should be the two of them who need the Dragon Clan's help.
Setting down the bowl, Zhu Wuyao said:
"Thank you so much, Senior Zilong, for saving my life!"
Before he could finish speaking, Zilong interrupted him:
"I'm only a few years older than you, so don't call me senior, just call me Azi."
"Speaking of which, our demon race has always been very friendly to the human race. I also like to make some friends among the human race. I really like some of the little trinkets from your mortal realm."
"I often think that if the barriers between humans and demons were eliminated, our demon children could travel freely in the streets of mortals, and human children could drink and make merry with demons."
"Without prejudice between us, all living things in the world live in harmony and joy. Isn't this a scene of a prosperous age?"
When he said these words, Zilong's tone seemed to carry a longing for a better life. Although it seemed naive and innocent, the meaning behind his words was not quite what he meant.
Zhu Wuyao lowered her head, her eyelashes concealing the slight unease in her eyes.
Although she was perfunctory during class at the Star-Picking Building, she still absorbed a lot of the information.
It is said that in the wild times, monsters roamed freely, and the human race suffered greatly.
Thanks to countless powerful predecessors of the human race, they were able to rise to power, and the human race became strong while the demon race became weak.
Listen to what Zilong has to say—
If such a scenario were to occur, it would only mean that the number of demons is extremely large, and that humans have lost their vigilance against them, allowing the demons to set foot on human settlements.
Maybe we can go shopping and buy some food together today.
Tomorrow I'll be the one to be eaten.
To be fair, Zhu Wuyao is a very kind-hearted person.
In her past life, she often lamented the extinction of endangered species and was outraged by the mistreatment of animals in zoos.
The premise is that they have to be in a zoo, not walking on the street.
If one day, gorillas from the zoo come out and roam the ground, befriending humans, then it's like watching "Rise of the Planet of the Apes."
Non-my family, its heart must be different.
Zhu Wuyao was not originally a member of the cultivation world, so she naturally had no prejudice against the demon race.
The premise is that the demon race can remain confined to the Kunci Continent, guarding their own small territory and not encroaching on human territory in the slightest.
Of course, she now needs the demon's help, and this purple dragon has saved her life, so Zhu Wuyao wouldn't say anything ungrateful, otherwise it would be tantamount to courting death.
This is a difficult response to. Even if you say something like "Peace is the hope of every living being," the other person might think you're being too arrogant.
Zhu Wuyao avoided the main point and said:
"We rushed here in such a hurry that we didn't bring any local specialties with us. It was a breach of etiquette on our part. We will make it up to Ye Xiaozhou once he wakes up."
The sound of Zilong's soft laughter reached my ears.
"Then we'll have to wait?"
The spoon stopped halfway. Zhu Wuyao thought for a moment and asked:
"Was her injury that serious?"
Judging from the implication, it seems that Ye Xiaozhou can't even leave the demon race?
Well, there's an explanation for that...
But Zilong casually changed the subject to other things:
"Sigh... Little Yezi made a promise to me about other things back then."
"She came back seriously injured this time, which is quite pitiful. I don't trust her to bring me any local specialties."
"On the contrary, you, despite being seriously injured yourself, carried that reckless girl so far. You seem to be a loyal and righteous person."
If Zhu Wuyao still doesn't understand after all this, then he's just pretending to be stupid.
She sighed inwardly, sincerely praying that Ye Xiaozhou would recover from his serious injuries and that his cultivation would regress to the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Why did it feel like the debt she owed was about to be collected on her head?
Zhu Wuyao put down his bowl and said:
“Miss Zi, I don’t know what Ye Xiaozhou promised back then. I have no way to repay the life-saving grace. If there is anything I can do to help, I will certainly not refuse.”
