Chapter 288: Kill Myself?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
However, Wang Mang did not jump to conclusions and continued listening.
Lady White Water continued, “This black python demon is in a reservoir around the mountain area. It is not weak.”
“If Lord Demon Emperor can help me kill it, then I will tell you the whereabouts of this heavenly treasure.”
Wang Mang was speechless. Had she been nursing a grudge this entire time?
How much did she hate him?
Also, this was kind of comical. He was being asked to kill himself…
Wang Mang did not know whether to laugh or cry.
That being said, if he exposed his identity now, he would not be able to get his hands on the heavenly treasure, which would not be ideal.
Thus, he had to think of a way to pry the information out of her.
“Who do you think you are to pose conditions to me?”
“My advice is to spill the beans right now. Otherwise, don’t blame me for destroying your clan!”
Upon hearing Wang Mang’s murderous words, the white python demon kings trembled in fear and panic, and many of them looked at Lady White Water angrily.
Why was she stirring up trouble?
They had just been about to part ways peacefully, but she had somehow thought it a good idea to talk about some heavenly treasure that even they were not aware of. Furthermore, she wanted the demon emperor to do her bidding!
What the f*ck?
Now, she had incurred the demon emperor’s ire, and managed to pull the clan into the mess as well.
At the same time, Lady White Water was flustered by Wang Mang’s threat. It was just a simple matter of killing a demon, right? Was the prospect of a half-step land immortal-level treasure not worth that much effort?
However, Wang Mang’s answer was indeed beyond her expectations.
What she did not know was that if White Water Lord had asked her to kill another demon, Wang Mang would have agreed without hesitation.
However, Wang Mang could not kill himself!
Thus, in the face of Wang Mang’s threat, Lady White Water immediately panicked.
“Lord Demon Emperor, you should at least give me some benefits,” she said in a somewhat sullen and helpless tone.”
Wang Mang said calmly, “Tell me then, what benefits do you want?”
Hearing this, she immediately said, “Half! 1 want half!”
Wang Mang sneered inwardly. This snake indeed demanded an exorbitant price. However, she was nowhere as cunning and as determined as the Black Bear Demon King.
Furthermore, he could use the safety of her clan as leverage. It was a totally one-sided situation.
“Half? Are you dreaming?”
“I can give you a demon king-level heavenly treasure as a reward.”
“Otherwise, don’t blame me for going on a killing spree!”
Hearing Wang Mang’s blatant threat, Lady White Water was clearly enraged.
This demon emperor had threatened her again and again, which was unacceptable for a proud snake like herself.
Therefore, she said, “Hmph! Even if 1 die, I won’t speak.”
Wang Mang was amused.
He glanced at the other white pythons with a cold gaze and smiled.
“It seems that all of you white python demons are very stubborn!”
“Think about this matter carefully! I don’t want to kill today!”
“Talk it over among yourselves, or maybe I should just do away with the pleasantries.”
Upon hearing this, the leader of the white pythons said fearfully, “Lord Demon Emperor, please give us some time.”
After saying that, he and the other white python demon kings brought Lady White Water to a forest not far away and began to berate her.
Even if Wang Mang did not listen carefully, he could vaguely hear their conversation.
“Lady White Water, you are a member of the White Python Demon Clan’s royal family, and we have always been willing to sacrifice ourselves for you.”
“However, now you’ve put the whole clan in danger! What’s the point of our sacrifice if you’re going to bring the clan down with you?”
“Lady White Water, do you truly want to destroy the clan? Do you know how much the clan has sacrificed for you all these years? Despite our sacrifices, what have we received in return? Endless trouble!”
Hearing these words, Wang Mang felt like laughing. Honestly, it was a futile effort trying to act tough while all the odds were stacked against her.
Just as Wang Mang was feeling smug, the system’s voice rang out.
