Chapter 101 Tasteless! You know what a plush toy fanatic is!
Hey! You guys! If you're going to drink, why are you gossiping behind people's backs!
Huali slammed her hand on the table, and after realizing that her palm no longer hurt, she slammed it a few more times.
However, after a few rounds of drinks, when things were getting lively and boisterous, her slamming of the table did not attract the attention of the loudly discussing people.
Karin felt dizzy, but her courage grew.
Upon seeing this, Ao Bai immediately realized that his host had become intoxicated. This glutinous rice wine was truly potent; even a small cat like him felt dizzy.
It intended to stop the result, but as soon as it got up, it fell headfirst off the chair and was slammed into Luo Chuan's leg by the Chaos Beast in mid-air.
Oh no, I'm doomed!
A strong will to survive made Ao Bai cower in a ball, not daring to look at Luo Chuan's expression. However, Luo Chuan didn't bother with him at all, his heterochromatic eyes focused entirely on Hua Li.
The little girl looked indignant. Seeing that the group not only ignored her but also hurled increasingly vile insults, her almond-shaped eyes blazed with anger.
Huali rolled up her sleeves, ready to step forward and argue, but before she could even lift her leg, her hand was grabbed by Luochuan.
He abandoned his previous leisurely manner, his voice now carrying a hint of unfamiliar coldness, "Half-demons are inherently impure in blood; what these people are saying is true."
Huali felt that this guy had warped values and didn't want to talk to him.
What did that half-demon do to him? That's a fact. He still has that half-demon little fox under his command. How heartbroken he would be if he heard that.
Luo Chuan's eyes flashed with sarcasm as he was about to speak, but Hua Li suddenly bent down and impatiently covered his mouth.
A sweet aroma of wine wafted over, and the girl's face slowly drew closer. As their breaths mingled, she whispered, "Little mouth, don't make a sound!"
The grand stage of cultivation awaits; come if you dare! The drunken Hua Li is fearless.
She pulled out a gold-type card and immediately cast a sound amplification talisman, "Fellow Daoist over there, I have something to say!"
The deafening sound was followed by an instant silence, and everyone turned to look at Huali.
Seeing that the desired effect had been achieved, Huali put away the talisman, took a deep breath, and passionately spoke up: "What's wrong with being a half-demon? What did a half-demon do to you? Just say what you want, what's with the personal attacks?"
The cultivators were taken aback at first, then looked at each other, all puzzled.
In the cultivation world, everyone knows that half-demon bloodlines are the lowest of the low. Even a merchant's offline store like Xianbo only uses such creatures as servants and never entrusts them with important tasks.
This is something everyone tacitly understands; otherwise, why would they say these things so openly in front of everyone?
Ultimately, it's just an unspoken rule in the workplace: everyone spontaneously uses aggressive and exclusionary behavior to create a common "enemy" in order to get closer to each other and gain a sense of belonging.
"Young lady, which sect do you belong to, daring to speak up for a half-demon!" The speaker was a Nascent Soul cultivator with a goatee. "Half-demons are bloodthirsty by nature, and their demonic forms are extremely terrifying. You are still young; how could you possibly know..."
"Stop spouting all that high-sounding nonsense!" Huali slammed the bamboo cup down, her left red feather swaying as she swayed. "I just want to ask, did those half-demons steal your spirit stones or take your lives? If they did, then I have no problem with what you're saying. But if they didn't, then I have to ask why!"
She also encountered several half-demons along the way.
The sweet-smiling half-demon girl at the Xianbo offline store in Fufeng City, and the little fox in Lingwu Mountain who asks for beast cores but wants to rush out with her when it matters.
Seeing everyone remain silent, Huali sneered, "Who wasn't born of a father and mother? How come you're all suddenly considered superior?"
The girl's words were simple and blunt, and the room fell silent instantly.
Luo Chuan's hand holding the Spirit Mist Fruit twitched slightly, his masked face hidden in the shadows. The Spirit Mist Fruit began to oxidize upon contact with air, yet he maintained the posture of holding it upright.
The man with the goatee, humiliated by being questioned by such a young girl, immediately darkened his expression and said, "How dare you be so rude, you brat! You are not of my kind..."
"Not of your kind?" The alcohol was starting to take effect, and Hua Li's lips curled into a venomous spittle. "Do you dare to shout that in the Holy Capital Demon Realm? Do you dare to shout it in Sunset City? If you do, I'll respect you as a true man!"
Given Wen Jin's temper, he'd probably turn you into a mosaic if he didn't.
Anger surged in the goatee's eyes, and his spiritual power transformed into a sharp blade, rushing straight towards Huali.
Driven sluggish by the fake alcohol, Huali instinctively waved her hand, and the sharp blade instantly turned to dust, shooting towards the goatee with her movement.
The defense that the goatee had put up was shattered in a second, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
Karin: "!!!"
She stared wide-eyed at her hands in surprise, "Huh? What am I doing...?"
Under the influence of alcohol, she didn't think too much about it; she just felt incredibly cool! Hua Li turned around excitedly, "Luo Chuan, did you see that? Aren't I amazing? One wave of my hand and 'whoosh!' the person fell down!"
Luo Chuan rested his chin on his hand, looking at the little girl's eyes, reddened by the smell of alcohol, more dazzling than peach blossoms blooming in spring. He chuckled softly, "What kind of drunken madness is this, Little Pear Blossom?"
Huali ignored him completely, finished sharing her thoughts, and continued to attack the others, "And you guys, apologize!"
Everyone else turned pale with fright at Hua Li's attack. Even a Nascent Soul stage expert was powerless to resist; this young girl's cultivation was truly astounding!
But asking them to apologize to the half-demon is no different from being nailed to the pillar of shame!
The group turned their gazes toward Wu Jin, who was in the main seat, pleading for help with their eyes.
Having observed for a while, Wu Jin stood up. "That's enough for today. Tomorrow, the Burial God Abyss will open for seven days. The person who collects the most treasures will be the winner, and my Wu Clan will reward them with a secret treasure."
After finishing his formalities, Wu Jin glanced subtly at the young man behind Hua Li.
It wasn't that little girl who was powerful; what he clearly saw in his white eyes was a ferocious kitten with bared teeth and claws, and a lazy yet fierce lion behind her.
But it doesn't matter. His gaze swept over the cogon grass by the door, and his goal had been achieved.
Upon hearing the high priest's words, the crowd began to disperse. When Huali saw that a few people were about to slip away, she immediately jumped up and was about to rush forward!
"Don't leave yet! You haven't apologized!"
Seemingly unable to swallow this insult, one of them retorted with a stiff neck, "Half-demons are inherently ugly, that's a fact, why should we apologize!"
Huali glared and grabbed a bamboo cup, smashing it over. "You tasteless thing! Animal ears are so cute! You plush toy fanatic, what do you know..." The last syllable suddenly caught in her throat.
The scent of cedar trees wafted from behind her, and her waist tightened, suddenly lifting her into the air.
Huali paused for a second, baring her teeth and claws, ready to continue the chase, but a calloused palm pressed down on her knee. "So what if a stray dog catches up?"
Before Huali could answer, Luo Chuan glanced at Fen Yu, who had gotten up, picked her up, and turned to leave.
Huali smelled the cedar scent emanating from Luochuan beside her. It was a unique scent of cold iron soaked in snow, clearly carrying a murderous intent, yet revealing a bitter fragrance of crushed pine needles in the base notes.
"But they talk badly about people behind their backs, and not only do they talk badly, they do it in public, bullying people in front of everyone!" Huali had completely forgotten that she was the one who spoke up for others first.
A hint of helplessness flashed in the Demon King's heterochromatic eyes, but he still echoed the little drunkard in his arms, "Yes, yes, yes, we'll sew their mouths shut once we enter the Burial God Abyss tomorrow."
Huali paused in her struggle to jump down, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Luo Chuan. "You really have a way to sew someone's mouth shut?"
Luo Chuan raised an eyebrow, "What's so difficult about that? If Xiao Huali wants to..." The words he was about to say stopped at the corner of his lips.
The sudden boiling of demonic blood caused Luo Chuan's pupils to instantly turn into vertical pupils.
Huali tilted her head curiously to look at him, but suddenly everything went black. When she opened her eyes again, they were back in the bamboo house.
Huali landed headfirst, barely managing to see the fluffy black shadow on the ground before Luo Chuan covered her eyes with his palm.
"Don't look."
As the alcohol reached its peak, Karin blinked, a sudden gleam of excitement gleaming in her eyes.
Oh wow, furry?!
