Maiden’s Feelings

“Where?”

“Mount Dustfallen!”

“You sure?”Updated from n0velbIn.(c)o/m

“Yes. That’s why I kept saying the spiritual qi here was so familiar. I didn’t expect it to be a spiritual qi core. I know better than anyone how the spiritual qi below Dustfallen Precipice tastes.”

“I’ll be damned. I’m still having a hard time believing this.”

Mu Yu wasn’t convinced Feng Haochen had Xiaoshuai block the core at Dustfallen Sect for no rhyme or reason. He speculated Feng Haochen might’ve been aware of the fiend king’s sealing location. It was pointless to ask Xiaoshuai since, one, Xiaoshuai was never told, and two, Xiaoshuai wouldn’t have known if the fiends couldn’t locate their king for millenniums.

Xiaoshuai clobbered Mu Yu’s head. “What are you spacing out for? Let’s go home!”

“Right! Let’s go home!” enthused Mu Yu, eager to see his shifu again and also glad to finally escape Second Heaven.

Mu Yu, controlling his wood spirit, entered the black void together with Xiaoshuai. Technically, it sucked them in. The journey home was a lot tougher; the pressure genuinely felt as if it’d fold him.

“Our scouts reported he’s considered a traitor to humanity now.”

“We can take him in if humanity does not want him.”

“Take him in? Did you not see his attitude toward me at Second Heaven? The only reason I would want to see him is to bludgeon his face!”

“He didn’t mean to. The emergency took priority.”

“Hahaha, backing your lover already?”

Qiao Xue jumped onto the water surface. “He’s not my lover!”

“It’s not a matter of me taking him in or not. Rather, it’s a question of whether or not races will trust him. You and he have different backgrounds when it comes down to it.”

The only human the fiend race wouldn’t wage war on was Qiao Xue because she grew up in their care. Plus, she possessed the aptitude to manipulate water. The white ape fiend king couldn’t change their sentiments of humanity on his own; their hatred for humanity ran too deep for that.

“I don’t think he’ll join us, either. Do you remember him picking and choosing who I could kill? That’s proof he sides with humanity. I would’ve taken a lot more lives at Pill Cauldron Sect that day, otherwise.”

“I can only hope he’s safe.”

“Don’t worry about what you can’t control anymore. My cultivation has recovered for the most part. Boss Dragon also has plans. It’s time we give those self-righteous humans a reminder.” The white ape fiend king, watching the two fishes, scrunched his fingers up into angry maces.
