Seeing Kong Xuan's eager eyes, Wang Zheng replied calmly:
"What do I care about the human race or the demon race?"
The Demon King need not test me with this. I only represent myself, and can only represent myself.
Hehe, I'm just a lowly half-demon, I can't represent Zhang Eshan's thoughts, much less my father's.
As for his thoughts, I have no idea.
Although these are not Wang Zheng's complete thoughts, so far, in his heart, as long as the people he cares about are not harmed, that's enough.
As for the rest of the world, Wang Zheng felt that this was not his responsibility.
His weight of several hundred pounds is not enough to lift this heavy load, at least not now.
Therefore, Wang Zheng spoke these words with complete confidence and without the slightest bit of apprehension.
However, Wang Zheng did not expect that as time went by, he would value more and more people in this world.
Putting everything else aside, given Chu Tianxing's personality, how could I possibly ignore him if he got into trouble in the future?
As for his own father, if he really recovered, wouldn't he want to go to the battlefield?
Thinking about this, Wang Zheng couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
Or... maybe we shouldn't let him participate in the Heavenly Demon Project, and just let him stay at home and enjoy his retirement?
For a moment, these jumbled thoughts kept swirling in his mind, making Wang Zheng feel somewhat irritable.
When the Peacock Demon King heard that Wang Zheng seemed to want to stay out of it, he was not surprised. Just as he was about to speak, a seven-colored parrot descended from the sky, circled a few times, and landed on his shoulder, then began to chirp.
After listening intently for a while, Kong Xuan smiled and said to Wang Zheng:
"If that's the case, then it's inevitable that you'll be staying here for a while longer."
Firstly, as a host, I, Kong Xuan, must treat you well. Secondly, given the current relationship between you and my second brother, it might not be safe for you to leave now.
As for the specific details, I cannot disclose them at the moment, please understand.
It will take anywhere from three to five days, or even more than ten days. I will make sure my young friend leaves safely by then.
Wang Zheng was still considering what excuse he should use to leave, but before he could even say it, the Peacock Demon King had already cut him off.
Seeing the other person's determined gaze, Wang Zheng knew that even if he suggested leaving now, it probably wouldn't be that simple.
Then Kong Xuan clapped his hands, summoned the half-demon offspring named Ling'er, and then gave the instructions:
"Young Brother Wang Zheng will be staying at Fengqiwu for the next few days. Please treat him well and do not neglect him."
Kong Ling'er immediately bowed and replied softly:
“My daughter knows.”
Immediately afterwards, Kong Xuan bowed to Wang Zheng and took his leave.
"I have benefited greatly from today's discussion with you, young friend. I still have some miscellaneous matters to attend to in the mountains, so I will not be able to keep you company for the time being."
If you need anything, just ask the girl. Although Fengqiwu is in a remote area, it has some unique scenery. You can ask her to accompany you around.
"I'll come to bother you a little later, young friend, to discuss the past and present, and to sit down and debate."
Since things had come to this point, Wang Zheng had no choice but to return the gesture with a bow.
As he squinted and watched Kong Xuan drift away, Kong Ling'er's clear voice rang out beside Wang Zheng.
"Young Master Wang Zheng, I noticed you didn't eat much at the banquet. How about I arrange another meal for you to fill your stomach?"
Wang Zheng didn't even turn his head; he just shook his head.
Seeing Wang Zheng standing with his hands behind his back, staring blankly at the distant sunset, lost in thought, Kong Ling'er couldn't help but take a few steps closer.
"Young master, the sunset at Phoenix Perching on the Wutong Tree is beautiful. Shall I show you around?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng sighed inwardly. Kong Xuan must have encountered some urgent matter, as he rushed off before finishing his sentence.
However, he not only forced himself to stay, but also made his daughter follow him closely, which was to put it nicely as serving him, but to put it bluntly as surveillance.
Although I don't take this little peacock seriously, can I run back to Baoshan or Tengchong after killing her?
Moreover, he couldn't really be a spoiled brat and live a carefree life here. The Peacock Demon King was clearly up to something big, and if he didn't hurry back, it might really be too late.
Thinking about this, Wang Zheng couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
But since I'm already here, at least I'm safe for now, and I've managed to intimidate this demon king for the time being.
For now, in Kong Xuan's eyes, his image as a descendant of a divine beast has been established.
My most important task is to quickly raise my spiritual energy limit back up, at least to ensure that Brother Zheng retains the basic requirement to make a move.
With this in mind, Wang Zheng decided to first find out the situation in the demon king's lair, and then see if he could gain any more benefits.
Then, Wang Zheng nodded to Kong Ling'er and said calmly:
"Then lead the way. Also, please don't call me 'Young Master' anymore. I don't like it, and it makes me seem too distant."
Kong Ling'er immediately said sweetly, "Then how should I address you?"
Wang Zheng pursed his lips, looked up at the sky, and said:
"Let's just call him Uncle, it sounds more intimate."
