The boy's voice was young, yet it resonated with conviction as he questioned all the cultivators present, his imposing presence unstoppable.
Surprisingly, no one in the teahouse dared to refute it.
"This kid is really strange, actually speaking up for the demons." Zhao Xi wanted to look down, but saw that he was wearing a bamboo hat and was covered up like the others, his identity was mysterious, so she quickly tugged at Lin Che's sleeve, "Quick, take a look, is he a demon?"
"I'm too lazy to look." Lin Che brewed tea, lifted his bamboo hat and took a sip. "Even if I'm not, I still yearn for it. Sooner or later I'll become a demon."
Zhao Xi thought, "Why not knock him out now, kidnap him, and sell him to the Middle Immortal Realm? Xingye will lose one less follower. Every one less is better! I think his figure isn't much bigger than Brother Qian's little fairy boy."
Lin Che pretended to agree: "Good idea, you do it, I'll cover you."
Zhao Xi knew he was being sarcastic, so she punched him lightly: "We have to think of a way. We can't just hide in the zoo like a tortoise whenever something happens, can we?"
"You were the one who saw through me..." Lin Che paused here, took a breath, as if he was hiding something, "If they do not believe in the righteous path, no matter how others persuade them, it will be useless. If Xingye returns to the righteous path, the Demonic Sect will no longer be demonic. If he restrains his disciples and prevents them from burning, killing and devouring, even if he is full of demonic energy, he will not be the Demonic Sect."
Zhao Xi wanted to listen quietly, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling as she carefully observed Lin Che's every subtle movement, even his every breath.
After he finished speaking, her eyes were filled with a mixture of admiration and sadness. She nodded and ended the conversation with a "Okay."
Below, the boy continued to spout nonsense: "The Demon Lord is a demon cultivator, and so is that adopted daughter. Demons don't need to abide by ethical norms. Even if you want to slander him, there's no need to use this. In my opinion, his liking for Yueya is just his true nature!"
Crescent Moon is the honey-sucking dove that Hoshino and Koka found in the mountains. Its demonic power directly devours vital essence, making its cultivation speed indeed very fast.
If it were normal cultivation, the little bean sprout would be far from transforming; at most, it could breathe and exhale, and cast a few minor spells.
But now she can transform into a woman and has become Hoshino's partner.
While Zhao Xi was surprised, a strange and indescribable feeling also stirred within her.
This wasn't jealousy because Hoshino had fallen for someone else; it was more like a memory from millions of years ago surging within me.
Fortunately, this lingering memory is so faint that it can be completely controlled.
Zhao Xi blinked and lowered her head to pour tea into her cup.
"Wake up, everyone! There's nothing to worship about this! That demonic art devours people's essence. If we don't kill them, we'll all be devoured by it sooner or later. Haven't you heard that the Star Gate is constantly recruiting, but they've only been arresting a handful of people in the city? Have you asked any of your old friends who went to the Star Gate if the Demon Lord can devour all those with less demonic energy? Unless you can dig out his heart and analyze it for everyone to see if it's black or white, you can't say this is normal."
"That's right, we defy fate by not eating and just staying in our caves, breathing in the wind and rain. But the demons are different; they'll eat us all."
Immediately, a chorus of agreement arose.
The boy was no match for four people, and he still wanted to argue. The waiter brought him food, but it turned out to be several cans of herbal tea.
Upon seeing the herbal tea, the young man actually sat down and started drinking it.
Zhao Xi watched in amazement.
It's unclear how Luo Haiqing found out what these people liked, but every time he delivered something, it was like a firefighter coming to the rescue, instantly extinguishing any potential arguments.
The storyteller then shifted the topic away from the Star Gate, receiving paper cranes of talismans thrown by others from the array, and one year after another passed.
If we don't mention the Star Gate, or their evil deeds and the countless sects they've destroyed, then what happens in the Immortal Realm would seem too ordinary.
It's nothing more than some powerful demon appearing somewhere, everyone joining forces to defeat it, and then dividing up some treasures. Or perhaps someone has produced a divine-grade weapon or pill, intending to auction it off at an astronomical price, hoping everyone will rush to a certain city to participate.
While Zhao Xi listened to the news, she leaned over the windowsill of the second-floor private room, looking down.
The long street was bustling with activity, and immortals came and went in a constant stream from the pharmacy. Some of them had green bubbles floating all over their bodies, which looked like they had been bitten by a poisonous monster.
Unlike other fairy towns, food is sold along the roadside in Seven Colors Town.
The pastries smelled delicious, and there were also hot dishes.
Zhao Xi saw the kitchen of the Hundred Beasts Park. They were wearing uniforms and standing by the roadside shouting and using toothpicks to distribute food to attract customers.
The queue was incredibly long, but each immortal could only buy one item. If they wanted to buy more, they would have to queue again, unless they joined the Five Spirits Hall of the Hundred Beasts Garden.
As expected of Luo Haiqing, he's a cunning and shrewd old man!
"Our Hundred Beasts Garden owes a great debt to our mortal headmaster, who helped the cubs overcome their inner demon illusions. You wouldn't believe it, but back then, some demons were causing trouble and imprisoned the poor little kingfisher spirit in a volcanic cave. Our headmaster personally jumped into the cave, dealt with the demons, and brought her back herself."
The crowd was skeptical.
The storyteller immortal said, "That little kingfisher spirit was illuminated by the magic treasure, the Spirit Realm, and absorbed a lot of volcanic spiritual energy. Anyone who has cultivated in a natural cave knows that if you stay in such a place for a long time, you will retain spiritual thoughts. As luck would have it, this little kingfisher is about to form its core. The formation of a demon's core is different from yours. They transform their demon core into a golden core and have to go through the illusion of inner demons."
"Demons should be heartless and carefree, so how could they have inner demons?"
"This fellow Daoist seems to have had a very happy past, never troubled by inner demons." The storyteller cupped his hands in greeting. "Demon cultivators are different from demon beasts; they are very intelligent and know what's going on. When there are desires, and desires are not fulfilled, inner demons will be born. Our headmaster..."
