Chapter 284 - 284 Sob Sob Sob

284 Sob Sob Sob

After three days of disquiet, the infamous name “Xia Donghai” had long spread throughout the entire first level.

Even the demon beasts gathered at other areas near the foot of the Central Divine Mountain had already heard the shocking news.

Their Holy Son… had been defeated by Xia Donghai!

They heard that the battle was earth-shattering!

No matter what happened to Feng Xia after the Demon Imperial Tombs closed, one could imagine that Xia Donghai’s name would definitely leave a mark in the history of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons.

Therefore, after three days, most of the demon beasts who could not accept the practice of “paying toll” had already chosen to leave.

The remaining ones either had the basic ability to pay the toll or were determined to get the opportunity on the Heavenly Stairway no matter the price.

The activation of the Heavenly Stairway was a silent affair and did not cause much of a stir.

From afar, one only saw the divine light enveloping the Heavenly Stairway shook slightly before slowly opening up to both sides, as if two invisible hands were slowly lifting the curtains on the stage.

“What’s going on?”

“What is that vicious demon up to now?”

Therefore, at this moment, many demon beasts were furious.

A demon beast was actually being kicked down from the Heavenly Stairway by Feng Xia after paying the toll. Could it be that this vicious demon had come up with some new crooked idea?

If they could not go up even after paying the toll, then why were they still wasting their time here?

After all, the Heavenly Stairway was not the only way to enter the second level!

“Why?”

The demon beast that was kicked down had a look of grief and indignation on its face. “I clearly paid the toll!”

“Then pay again.”

When Feng Xia heard this, he replied with a faint smile, “The toll is one thing. However, before this, you took instruction from Ying Daoyi and attacked me…”

“I can clearly remember whoever attacked me earlier.”

“I’ve already said before that I won’t kill indiscriminately here. However, since you’ve already attacked me, you have to pay the corresponding price.”

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he smiled slowly and said, “And this is the price.”

When the demon beast heard this, it immediately fell silent.

Actually, what it really wanted to say was, “Why didn’t you say something like this earlier!” Did he need to wait until it ascended the Heavenly Stairway before kicking it down?”

Furthermore, the kick just now was so powerful that it almost split its butt into three pieces!

“How is it? Do you have any objections?” Feng Xia asked with a smile.

“No objections, I’ll just pay…”

The demon beast pondered for a long time and finally replied with a long face.

It had already paid two Spirit Breaking Talismans. If it did not step onto the Heavenly Stairway, these two Spirit Breaking Talismans would clearly be wasted. It clearly did not want to see such a situation.

Therefore, there was only one answer.

It would pay again.

With this precedent set, the demon beasts that came later put away the tricks up their sleeves and prepared two sets of toll fees in advance before obediently handing them to Bai Xiao.

“Come, come, come, line up. Everyone has a turn. Don’t mess up! Hey, you sneaky fellow over there, don’t think that I didn’t see you!”

Bai Xiao took the Spirit Breaking Talismans in big handfuls, smiling so widely that her eyes curved into crescent moons. The demon fox’s tail wagged non-stop. Sweeping her tail gently in front of her, the Spirit Breaking Talismans that she collected disappeared. No one knew where they were hidden.

At this moment, another scream could be heard.

After the second demon beast who paid double the toll stepped onto the Heavenly Stairway, even before it could even stabilize itself, a foot quickly enlarged in its vision!

“Sob, sob, sob, sob—”

It was a rather rare lantern demon which looked like a huge red lantern. Under the dim light, its figure quickly became illusory as it tried to dodge the sudden kick.

However, it was useless.

With a shrill (probably) scream, the lantern demon was also kicked down. Its only eye glared at Feng Xia as if it was silently complaining.

“Sob, sob, sob, sob, sob!”

“Eh? This fellow doesn’t know how to speak human language?”

Feng Xia, who was about to speak, blinked and suddenly stopped talking.

—Please, he would not be able to understand you if you whined like that!

This was the first time he had encountered a demon beast that could not speak human language since he entered the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons!

However, if one thought about it carefully, this was not too strange. Although demon beasts could naturally speak human language once they cultivated to a certain extent, there was no rule in the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth which stated that demon beasts had to speak human language!

“What did it just say?”

Feng Xia turned to look at Zhu Youniang.

However, the spider girl only shrugged. “Xia, I don’t understand either.”

Feng Xia: “…”

It turned out that demon beasts did not have a common language!

“In that case, the fact that demon beasts can speak human language after cultivating to a certain extent might also be due to a need for unity. Otherwise, there are so many demon races in the world and the concept of ‘Demon Clan’ would not exist.”

Furthermore, before Zhu Youniang met him, she had always stayed in the Ancient Forsaken Land and had never come into contact with the outside world.

It was understandable that she did not understand the languages of other demons.

Feng Xia suddenly had a thought and Qing Lin, who was beside him, noticed it. The little girl tiptoed slightly and whispered into Feng Xia’s ear.

Feng Xia was suddenly enlightened. “So that’s what it meant?”

After finding out about the real situation, Feng Xia quickly turned around and looked at the lantern demon lying on the ground.

“Sob sob sob!”

“I kicked you down for a very simple reason.”

Feng Xia placed his hands behind his back and looked into the distance. His words were meant for the lantern demon, and also all for the demon beasts behind it.

“Of course it’s because even though you paid toll twice, it doesn’t mean that you don’t have to suffer the kick~”

The lantern demon: “… Sob sob sob sob sob sob sob!”

That being said, one could not beat the circumstances.

After confirming repeatedly that once they received the kick, they would not charge a third toll, most of the demon beasts chose to continue moving forward.

After all…

Being kicked would not cost them anything. At most, they would just feel embarrassed.

Given that the majority of them would get kicked, being embarrassed was not a big problem. In any case, one would get kicked at some point. There were even some demon beasts who were so bored that they started to compare who landed more elegantly…

“Let’s go up too.”

Feng Xia smiled and grabbed Zhu Youniang’s hand.

At this moment, a small hand reached out and grabbed Feng Xia’s lapel from the other side.

“I’m coming too.”

When Bai Xiao saw this scene from afar, the fur on her thick tail suddenly stood on end. “Oh me oh my! I didn’t realize that there’s another little hussy!”
