“What do you want to chat with me about? You’re really special. For the first time, a human wanted to chat with me,” Yu Yu was a powerful demon. He had a strong ability to perceive the mental state of surrounding creatures. He noticed Chu Qianxun not only had no fear of himself, but even had a real desire to communicate, which made him feel very novel.
“Do you like reading books, especially about medieval cultures?” Chu Qianxun said casually as if chatting with a friend.
“Yes, how did you know that?” Yu Yu was surprised.
Chu Qianxun mentioned Yu Yu’s clothing and the colorfully decorated walls, “No wonder, you look like someone walking out of Wuthering Heights. The interior of the castle is almost like a palace in Arabic mythology, it looks like a castle with Gothic architecture. I think I have seen it in an illustration in a novel.”
“I found a bookstore and brought all the books intact here. By reading it, I learned a lot of interesting history of human beings. Unfortunately, there are not many books. I have read them all,” Yu Yu was very proud, and said with a little regret.
“Anyway, we have to wait for Ye Peitian’s arrival here, and may have to wait for a long time. If you are interested, I can tell you some other novels about humankind.”
“Oh, my lovely lady, do you want to be my Shahrazad?”
“Yes, Shahrazad, can you let me try it?” Chu Qianxun frankly wanted to delay time.
“Of course, I am very honored. Although I can’t give you a thousand and one nights. But if you can arouse my interest, after Ye Peitian comes, I can even guarantee not to take your life.”
(Shahrazad is a legendary Persian queen and the storyteller of One Thousand and One Nights)
Zhong Lixiao leaned on a crutches to support his body and staggered forward two steps. He said in a hoarse voice, “Don’t talk to her too much, she is a cunning woman. Be careful of being deceived and seduced by her. Leave her in our care. You just have to wait for Ye Peitian to come.”
Yu Yu’s arm suddenly turned into a white branch, extending from the sleeves with complicated patterns. Suddenly, he lifted Zhong Lixiao’s skinny arms, lifted him in the air, and threw him away to the ground in disgust, “Please keep quiet and recognize your identity. I know that you and Ye Peitian both are half immortal, but you are like a fake, full of decay and moldy smell. But if you continue to make me unhappy, I don’t mind trying to see if your blood can increase my strength as much as his does.”
Zhong Lixiao struggled to get up from the ground. With Xiaoyan’s help, he retreated to the corner of the castle. He was really reluctant to face the moody, powerful and terrifying demon but had to take this opportunity to obtain holy blood.
He was an immortal who was spawned in Shennai’s laboratory. Like Ye Peitian, although his body would not die, but with the improvement of the rank and the application of abilities, his body became strange. The speed of aging quickened. Only when the holy blood was injected could he be rejuvenated for a moment.
Only a little holy blood he had stored was left. He loathed the aging and rotten body and longed for a young and energetic look. When he learned from Shennai that this tenth-order demon could be used, he determined that he must take this opportunity to get Ye Peitian’s blood. It was best to get the trust of this demon and get a lot of Ye Peitian’s blood for a long time. For this reason, he swallowed his anger and bore it.
In the main palace of the Spring City, after Han Ao told the whole story, General Jiang felt anxious.
Even when they used the whole city’s strength, they barely managed to fight against the tenth-order demon. Now that he had a hostage in hand, he wanted to rescue Chu Qianxun from him.
General Jiang paced back and forth anxiously in the room, and finally hit the wall with his fist.
But the man who had always treated Chu Qianxun as a baby was uncharacteristically calm. After entering the city, he put on his mask again, sat calmly in the house and listened to Han Ao silently telling every detail. His head was lowered. No one knew what he was thinking about.
Looking at the familiar person, Gao Yan couldn’t connect Chu Qianxun’s boyfriend with a delicate body and who was easy to overthrow, with the legendary murderous half demon. The moment Lin Fei exposed his face, she was so shocked that her chin fell to the ground. But for Chu Qianxun’s safety, she could only hold her emotions and carefully speak to the famous half demon, “What should we do now? Anyway, we still have to rush to the place the demon mentioned. Otherwise, Qianxun would be in danger. Although I don’t have a high rank, I will go with you and try my best to save Qianxun.”
“I must go too. Qianxun gave the blood she carried to her teammate. Her situation is more dangerous.” Han Ao said, “When she was taken away, I was helpless and very guilty.”
“We will go to save Sister Qianxun.”
“Count me in, I will go too.”
When Ye Peitian heard that the special medicine he had left for Qianxun had been used, he suddenly clenched his fist. He took a deep breath before releasing his fist, and raised his hand to stop the excitement.
“Calm down! Ah Xiao and Yu Yu want me. I haven’t gone yet, so they won’t hurt Qianxun.”
He put his palms back on his knees. The palms were pale, powerful, and extremely stable, “We must calm down. To ensure Qianxun’s safety, we need help.”
General Jiang immediately said, “I will accompany you on the trip. We will go to Old Xin. The Qilin base is on the way and won’t delay our journey.”
Ye Peitian nodded to him, “In addition to Old Xin, there is a person, if we can invite him, the probability of success will increase greatly. I think I must ask him.”
“What are you waiting for? We should leave now!” General Jiang jumped.
Ye Peitian stood up. He staggered as he took the first step, almost tripping over the chair, but the second and third steps became more stable, and finally ran out of the door.
