"I heard that when he's in a good mood, he'll casually kill a few demons to liven up the mood. When he's upset, he'll slaughter a few demons to vent his frustrations. When he's feeling flat and bored, he'll kill a few demons just to get a taste of blood."
Song Jinnian narrated the story while gesturing exaggeratedly, "It's said that when the demon king kills, he particularly enjoys breaking the neck from the neck, creating a horrific scene where blood splatters everywhere."
As much as I want to deny it, this...is indeed true.
Chu Lingxiao had no intention of understanding the Demon King's mentality, and he was simply unable to understand it. Wantonly killing innocent people and regarding killing as pleasure was really... too cruel.
That was why he was unwilling to accept the Demon King's memories (more than half of the Demon King's memories were about slaughter, filled with the screams of the killed, endless fear, and dripping blood...). Fortunately, he had a strong willpower, otherwise his spirit would have been polluted long ago.
Song Jinnian paused briefly, seemingly reaching a turning point in the story. After everyone's attention was focused on him, he continued:
"Originally, everyone had quietly grown accustomed to the current Demon King's style. After all, as a Demon King... it was normal for him to casually slaughter a few demons. However, one day, the Demon King suddenly flew into a rage and slaughtered every demon in an entire city."
He knew that city, where his mother had lived a long time ago.
He also knew the reason why the Demon King was furious. It was she (Chu Lingxiao's mother) who carried the Demon King on her back and quietly left the demon world.
Therefore, after she (Chu Lingxiao's mother) left, the Demon King killed all the demons in the place where she had lived in order to vent his anger.
Chu Lingxiao was not willing to comment on this. Now that his bloodline had awakened and he had gained the same ability as his mother, he knew how powerful this ability was.
So when his mother...left the demon world, she couldn't have been unaware that after she left, the demon king would kill more demons to vent his anger.
But to appease the Demon King, prevent his mother from pursuing freedom, and trap her in the demon world for the rest of her life, doesn't seem... right.
Chu Lingxiao just felt a headache. It would be better not to let him know about this. What the hell is going on?
Song Jinnian continued, "No demon knows why the Demon King was so enraged that time and massacred that city."
"But some demons speculated that it might be because of his sister's passing. After all, the Demon King always loved to show off his sister. Since that incident, the Demon King never mentioned her again. The word 'sister' became a taboo in the Demon King's presence. Anyone who mentioned her would be killed."
Gu Qingze was a little surprised when he heard this. He looked at Chu Lingxiao with an inquiring look, wanting to ask him if his guess was true.
Chu Lingxiao lowered his eyes, and even though he noticed his gaze, he didn't look at him, but remained silent.
Although he didn't answer, Gu Qingze already knew the answer when he saw his reaction.
"Ling Xiao, what's wrong with you? Aren't you in a good mood?" Gu Qingze asked him quietly using his spiritual power.
"...Maybe. I'm not sure."
After a long time, Chu Lingxiao replied using his spiritual power, but he still kept his head down and didn't look at him.
"Not very clear? Ling Xiao looks like he's in a bad mood."
Just as Gu Qingze was about to continue using his spiritual power to transmit something, or to comfort Ling Xiao, he felt a strong gaze staring at him.
"Brother Qingze, and Brother Lingxiao, are you listening?"
Song Jinnian frowned slightly, curled his lips in dissatisfaction, and said, "I was talking so seriously, but my two brothers were distracted. Doesn't this completely waste my efforts?"
Hearing this, Gu Qingze looked at him, smiled, and blinked innocently: "I'm not daydreaming, I'm just listening. After all, listening relies on the ears. Lowering your head makes you feel more involved."
Song Jinnian looked thoughtful: "Is that so..."
Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao nodded.
"Then Brother Qingze, can you tell me where I was just now?" Song Jinnian suddenly asked.
Gu Qingze recalled it briefly in his mind and almost blurted out, "After the Demon King massacred a city, he explained it to the other people there."
Song Jinnian was very satisfied when he heard this: "It seems that I misunderstood. The two brothers are indeed listening carefully. Then I will continue."
What Song Jinnian told afterwards was basically the same. It was nothing more than how many monsters the Demon King killed on a certain day, and whether he killed them when he was slightly angry, moderately angry, or very angry.
Then, after who knows how many days, the Demon King's anger gradually subsided. He no longer killed out of anger, but instead killed for fun out of boredom. Perhaps killing had become a habit for him.
In about half an hour, Song Jinnian told them all the rumors he had heard, successfully proving that the demon king was moody, capricious, and fond of slaughter.
After Song Jinnian finished speaking, Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao praised him tacitly, and when his mouth was dry due to his story, they handed him a glass of water to moisten his throat.
"You said that the final result was satisfactory, proving that the Demon King gave you a way to enter Xuanyin."
Su Han looked at them with his deep blue eyes, and after Song Jinnian finished speaking, he openly expressed his desire to speed up the process.
Chu Lingxiao also looked at him with his golden eyes, smiled slightly, and continued:
