When Lou Ji brought it up, Yuan Jiang looked at him calmly and asked, "You really don't mind that I'm a demon?"
The air seemed to freeze, falling into an eerie silence.
After an unknown amount of time, Lou Ji finally spoke slowly: "My father is the head of the Lou family, but he and my mother are not like ordinary demon hunters who hate all demons."
"There are good and bad people, and there are good and bad demons. My parents have been looking for a way for humans and demons to coexist, and I have been deeply influenced by this, constantly researching how to make humans and demons coexist."
“But Jiang Jiang, demons are born with longer lifespans and greater strength. Human life and death are merely a matter of a demon’s will. From birth, the inequality between humans and demons is predetermined, and it is difficult for demons to place humans on an equal footing with themselves.” Lou Ji’s voice was very soft, as soft as a dandelion floating in the sky, gently landing in Yuan Jiang’s heart.
As if thinking of something, Lou Ji's tone became strained: "My parents were kind to demons, but they died at the hands of the fox demon they had once saved. The fox demon was powerful, and even though my parents were both high-level demon hunters, they could not escape death."
A cold wind blew against Lou Ji's face, and his thick, dark eyelashes slowly drooped, obscuring his watery eyes. His voice was tinged with a fragile sob: "I saw with my own eyes that fox demon used its demonic power to restrain my father, used a sharp knife to cut open the flesh of my father's chest, and forcibly dug open his chest with its bare hands, tearing out his internal organs and eating them until its face was covered in blood!"
"Although my mother escaped the fox demon's cruelty, she was on the verge of death. In order to save her nine-month-old daughter, she used a knife to cut open her belly and took out her little sister."
"When my mother died, she only said four words." Lou Ji lifted his reddened eyelids, looked at Yuan Jiang, and glistening tears welled up in the corners of his eyes: "Don't believe in demons."
“I listened to my mother, but I hurt you.”
"I'm sorry, Jiang Jiang, I don't know what to do either."
Yuan Jiang looked at Lou Ji's red and tearful eyes and felt a pang of pain in her heart, as if an invisible hand had squeezed her chest hard, and the pain spread throughout her body.
She reached out and hugged Lou Ji, pressing her face against his chest, and whispered gently, "My lord, I forgive you."
She took Lou Ji's hand and placed it on her lower abdomen, then looked up at him and said, "From now on, the child and I will stay with you."
"Don't cry."
Yuan Jiang tiptoed and kissed away his tears with her warm lips.
A dazzling pink light suddenly appeared, and nine tails emerged from behind Yuan Jiang, gently enveloping Lou Ji. One pink tail even gently stroked Lou Ji's head.
Lou Ji lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly. Looking at Yuan Jiang's distressed expression, he raised an eyebrow slightly, and a triumphant smile flashed quickly in his narrow phoenix eyes, with a hint of sickly malice flickering in them.
Jiang Jiang is really understanding.
He buried his head in Yuan Jiang's neck, his hoarse voice pleading, "Jiang Jiang, if you leave me again, I'll kill myself."
Yuan Jiang kissed his lips: "I will not leave you."
Upon receiving Yuan Jiang's assurance, Lou Ji's tears instantly stopped. He tossed the fish in his hand aside, reached out and hugged Yuan Jiang, took two deep breaths, and revealed a fascinated smile.
He was so happy he was practically dying of joy!
Jiang Jiang is so good to him!
Suddenly!
Strange noises came from afar, a murderous intent swept over, tree branches swayed, and birds chirped.
Yuan Jiang's expression froze, and she turned her head to look at the menacing killing intent coming from the direction of the attack.
"Bang--"
The ginseng demon coughed up blood and was viciously thrown at Yuan Jiang's feet!
Yuan Jiang immediately released Lou Ji, squatted down and picked up the ginseng demon, her brows furrowed: "What happened? Who hurt you?"
All the ginseng tendrils on the ginseng demon's body were cut off, and black blood kept flowing out, leaving only the ginseng body. Its lips were full of blood foam, and it forced its eyes open to look at Yuan Jiang: "Little fox demon, quickly, quickly run away."
"So many demon hunters have arrived..."
Early this morning, the ginseng demon was enthusiastically leading fifty ginseng people to sunbathe when, halfway through, hundreds of demon hunters suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stormed in!
At first, it did not want to commit atrocities, so it led its people in a frantic escape!
Unexpectedly, the leader of the demon hunters discovered it and all of them came to attack it. They not only killed fifty of its subjects, but also took away its demon core!
If it weren't for coming to warn the little fox demon to escape, it would have already perished together with these demon hunters!
The ginseng demon opened its mouth with difficulty, as if to say something, but Yuan Jiang gently shook her head, raised her hand to transfer demonic power to it, protecting its heart meridian: "Rest well, I will retrieve your demon core and avenge you!"
Upon hearing this, the ginseng demon struggled to shake its head, but its body could no longer support it, and it fainted.
Yuan Jiang placed the ginseng demon into the brocade pouch at her waist, her slender, jade-like fingers gradually clenching into fists. She slowly stood up and looked at the menacing demon hunters.
“Miss Yuan Jiang…” Li Yanxi, the leader, gripped his longsword, the blade still dripping with black demonic blood. He stared at the girl before him in disbelief, his voice hoarse and sorrowful: “You are actually… a fox demon…”
The pitiful and frail girl from my memory now had an icy expression, her fox eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty red, and her nine tails swaying casually behind her, exuding a surging demonic aura. She bore no resemblance whatsoever to her former pitiful appearance!
His breathing was erratic, his chest heaving violently, his eyes flashing with a fierce light as he stared intently at Yuan Jiang, feeling the rage of being deceived!
Jiang Yingyue sneered: "Li Yanxi, you actually want to marry a fox demon?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Yuan Jiang, her eyes filled with surprise and joy: "Young Master Lou! I've finally found you!"
Immediately afterward, Jiang Yingyue frowned and shouted, "Young Master Lou, why are you with this fox demon? As the young master of the Lou family, the head of the demon-hunting families, why haven't you killed this fox demon immediately!"
"Kill her quickly and rid the people of this scourge!"
Lou Ji stood beside Yuan Jiang, his deep, dark, cold eyes staring intently at Li Yanxi and Jiang Yingyue. His previously empty hand suddenly appeared out of thin air with a shout of "Qingyu Xuanjian" from him.
"You're asking for death."
