But when she arrived at the Zhou family, she discovered that the Great Demon King wasn't so bad after all. He protected her in every way, and he didn't harm the people. He was clearly not a bad person!

“Princess, you saw it just now too.” The old tortoise said in a deep voice, “The human world is in turmoil. Apart from you, he has never shown mercy to anyone. If you do not kill him, he will still kill everyone a thousand years later.”

Knowing she couldn't accept it right away, the old tortoise sighed, "Princess, the Dragon King built a temple for you, do you remember?"

She stubbornly remained silent, so the old tortoise continued, "Have you heard the prayers of those people?"

He waved his hand, and a temple appeared out of thin air before him.

"We pray that the Dragon Princess will bless us with peace and health, and that our country will enjoy favorable weather and abundant harvests."

"Natural disasters continue. Dragon Princess, I beg you to open your eyes and send a great rain for the people."

"Thank you, Princess Xie Long, for bestowing rain. Your blessings will last forever, and you will surely enjoy health and happiness for ten thousand years."

May the world be at peace, with no more wars, and may people not be displaced or their bodies left unburied. May disasters be far away, and may there be abundant harvests of wheat and grain, and may there never be starving people everywhere again.

The little guy's eyes reddened.

"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. You have received the incense and worship of the people of the world, so you should open your eyes to see their situation and listen to their prayers."

The old tortoise sighed, "You've witnessed much misery along the way. You brought heavy rain to the drought-stricken Qingyuan, allowing the wheat seedlings to regrow and preventing the people from starving to death."

Are we just going to stand by and watch all of this be destroyed a thousand years from now, turning the city into a scene of utter devastation with corpses strewn everywhere?
