240 Qian Yuan’s Human Form
The negotiation process wasn’t smooth sailing. There were several times of acrimony and even a big fight broke out. Fortunately, Ye Xuan was there to mediate, and the final result was still acceptable.
The two sides agreed that the north of the demonic beasts’ forest was the territory of the demonic beasts. Humans could not set foot there unnecessarily, or they would bear the consequences. The south of the demonic beasts’ forest was where humans could move around and continue to mine the spirit mine, but they could not over-mine it.
In order to prevent the spirit mine from being overmined and becoming a source of pollution, the great demons had even set a few rules. Once the mine exceeded the load of the spirit mine and had the threat to pollute the surrounding environment, they would take action to clean up these people.
This could be considered a sharp sword hanging over everyone’s head, making some greedy people hold back. They would no longer be as unscrupulous as before but would have some concerns.
The original words of those great demons were not pleasant to hear.
“Since you can’t restrain those disciples, then we’ll do it. If some of them die, it’ll be their own fault. Don’t come to us to seek justice.”
Yi Chengrui and the others’ faces changed in anger, but they had to admit that what it said made sense.
After the two sides came to an agreement, Ye Xuan and Qian Yuan became the witnesses. Under their witness, Yi Chengrui and the other great demons all put their thumbprints on the treaty. Each side held a copy, which would take effect today.
“I hope you all know what’s good for you. If you dare to violate the agreement, we demon beasts are not to be trifled with. We will not let you off next time.”
Before they left, the few great demons left some harsh remarks.
Demonic beasts were much more trustworthy than humans. After all, they were still bound by Qian Yuan. On the other hand, humans were too untrustworthy, and it was common for them to go back on their words.
However, for the sake of their safety, they probably wouldn’t do such a stupid thing. If they faced the demonic beasts, they had no chance of winning after all. Furthermore, Changping wouldn’t be able to withstand such a large-scale beast tide again.
Anyone with a brain would know that this treaty was a life-saving talisman for them. Although they had lost some land and spirit mines, they had obtained stability.
From a long-term perspective, this was not a bad deal. On the contrary, they had gained an advantage. After all, the demonic beasts had let go of their hatred. As long as humans did not provoke them, they would not disturb them in the future. It would be much more convenient to mine the spirit mine.
After the negotiations were settled, the great demons took their leave one after another. Even though the two sides were at peace now, they were not used to staying with humans for too long. On the other hand, Qian Yuan stayed behind. It wanted to stay a few more days because of Ye Xuan.
Now that its cultivation level was high, so it could transform into a human form a long time ago. It was just that it had been used to show its true body to others as if this could reflect its mighty.
“Why aren’t you transforming? ” Ye Xuan asked. “We’re in the city now, so it’s not very convenient for you to walk outside like this.”
He said it in a tactful way.
If Qian Yuan showed its true form in the city, the people would most likely scatter in fear even if they were currently living in peace with the demonic beasts.
“Because…”
Qian Yuan stammered, looking very hesitant. This made Ye Xuan and Shen Changling even more curious about its human form.
“Is there anything we can’t see? Or are you not used to being in human form?”
“Is it because you’re too ugly?” Shen Changling asked, “Are you worried that you’ll scare us?”
He wouldn’t have dared to say this in the past, but now he was a little braver because they were familiar with each other and with Ye Xuan beside him.
After a moment’s hesitation, a light flashed and a figure appeared in front of Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan’s eyes widened subconsciously, looking a little surprised.
Shen Changling’s expression and attitude were even more exaggerated.
It wasn’t that Qian Yuan’s human form was too ugly. On the contrary, it was an extremely young man with a baby face. He wasn’t tall and looked extremely young. People would believe that he was in his teens.
It was too different from Qian Yuan’s original appearance and couldn’t be compared to the dragon race which could summon wind and rain.
Looking at Ye Xuan and Shen Changling’s gazes, Qian Yuan revealed an expression that said, ‘I knew you would be like this.’ He shrugged and said helplessly, “See, now you know why I’m unwilling to transform into a human.”
This image was damaging to its dignity. Those who didn’t know would think that he was a young master who had sneaked out to play.
Ye Xuan nodded. “Indeed.”
Yi Chengrui, who was passing by, didn’t know about Qian Yuan’s human form and almost mistook him for Ye Xuan’s brother. He went up and greeted, “Elder Ye, is this your younger brother? He looks a bit…”
Before he could finish his words, Qian Yuan had already turned around. Looking at that pair of pale golden eyes, as if there was a sun in them, Yi Chengrui was instantly stunned.
He didn’t know whether to retract his hand or not. He could only awkwardly stop in mid-air.
For a moment, Yi Chengrui only felt his hair stand on end as if he was being stared at by a giant monster. He felt that as long as there was the slightest movement, his head would be separated from his body. In an instant, his back was drenched in a cold sweat. He asked carefully, “This, this is…”
Shen Changling gave him a knowing look, ‘Can’t you tell?’
He thought of the flood dragon, Qian Yuan, and said that it wanted to take a look at Changping. It was nowhere to be seen now, but there was an additional stranger who was so familiar with Ye Xuan.
Yi Chengrui couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. He didn’t even know how he left. He only remembered that his hands and feet were stiff, and he disappeared in front of them awkwardly.
In the past few days, everyone in Changping had discovered that Ye Xuan had a little follower behind him who looked harmless. However, the aura he inadvertently revealed almost scared them to death.
