Shen Wuyou was shocked!
She knew it! This Long Chujun was extremely cunning and difficult to deal with!
Now that the modern world has exposed it, there is no point in her denying it.
Moreover, she probably understood Long Chujun's purpose...
"Your Majesty, what you said is not wrong, but it is not right either."
She had to find a way to dispel Long Chujun's idea, so she continued:
"Civilizations are born in the unique environment of a specific era. A civilization is only perfect and viable when it conforms to the characteristics of its era. However, if one covets some superior civilization and blindly confuses civilization with the era, he will only end up in chaos."
[The world is in chaos...]
These four words resonated particularly prominently in Long Chujun's mind. Her face darkened slightly, and then she looked at Shen Wuyou, her voice filled with danger:
"So, you don't want to?"
"I was a human in my previous life, and in this life I just want to be a demon."
She said this, and noticing that Long Chujun was faintly angry, she added:
"The affairs of this world are so complicated, with all the right and wrong, grudges and grievances, and the entanglement of power and interests. I am a little tired of it. I'd rather be a leisurely demon. Even if I have to flee everywhere, I'm happy and free.
"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
She threw the question back to Long Chujun, who sneered, as if he was listening to an unrealistic joke:
"Fleeing everywhere, with no control over your own life, yet you still feel at ease?"
“Everyone’s pursuits are different.”
She explained, "Now that I have traveled the world and seen all the flowers, I no longer worry about how difficult and unbearable this journey will be."
Moreover, even if she stayed as she wished, she would only be loyal to her for the rest of her life. She had no control over her own life, and her life and death were determined by others. This was her inescapable fate.
If she wants to change this fate, she must first strengthen herself.
Dependence is the most fatal flaw in the process of becoming strong.
So, she absolutely cannot have it!
"That sounds nice, but it's a pity..."
Long Chujun's aura suddenly changed, and the overwhelming pressure almost condensed the air into frost, making it difficult for people to breathe.
Her voice was deep and terrifying: "How could you obtain the Phoenix Power? And how could you even set foot outside this palace?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a flame igniting in the air!
The golden floor was illuminated by the red flames, looking like the morning glow, scorching the sky and melting the earth, making people unconsciously feel the burning heat of a raging fire.
Shen Wuyou was sensitive to fire, especially the flames of the Vermillion Bird, which surpassed even the Phoenix Divine Fire. The wildly swaying flames were clearly far away, yet they seemed to burn at the very tip of her heart, causing her to feel particularly anxious.
“Heh~”
Shen Wuyou smiled suddenly, as if he didn't notice how depressing and oppressive the atmosphere was.
A crimson glow slowly enveloped her body, and a unique aura gradually emanated from her...
That is the unique demonic aura of the Lycoris radiata demon, there is no other like it in the world.
Long Chujun is familiar with this, and thanks to Shen Wuyou, the world is now familiar with it too...
Just as Long Chujun narrowed his eyes and looked at her, he heard her slowly open her lips, as if she had seen through her thoughts, and smiled brightly and charmingly:
"I suppose your Majesty doesn't want to kill me, right?"
She asked this, but she already knew in her heart:
"Your Majesty is truly Your Majesty. Your perspective is different from everyone else's. Everyone covets the legendary treasures of heaven and earth, the ability to bring the dead back to life; but Your Majesty values the otherworldly civilizations in my head...
"Your Majesty told me the records in the book today, trying to scare me with that thousand-year-old legend. If I were truly a coward, I would probably do as Your Majesty wishes and obediently stay under your wings, spilling all my blood for you and digging out all the wisdom in my brain, just to seek a chance to survive.
"It's a pity... Your Majesty has forgotten that I am a soul from another world, a lonely ghost, a person who has already died once!
"Your Majesty, do you really think that those who have died will be afraid of dying again?"
She cherishes life and wants to live well for herself in this life. But this does not mean that she will give up herself for the sake of a chance to survive and become a caged pet!
What kind of person is Long Chujun?
In modern terms, she was a natural businesswoman;
In ancient terms, she was a natural born emperor!
She will oppress every nerve of yours and exploit all your value; she will first squeeze out all your essence and empty out all your thoughts that are beneficial to her, and then ruthlessly drink all the blood in your body and gnaw on all your flesh and bones; finally, once she finds out that you are worthless to her, she will still not let you go!
She will still explore your value to others, and then reuse your drained body to maximize her benefits.
Shen Wuyou understood her too well.
So she was also afraid to read people's minds, afraid to see with her own eyes the terrifying whirlpool in the endless abyss. It seemed to suck people in. It was very dangerous, but, at the same time, very tempting.
She understands people's hearts, can see through people's hearts, grasp people's hearts, and is more likely to lose people's hearts.
So, she has been restraining herself.
But now, she's afraid she might have to let go a little...
She had a smile on her face, but it didn't reach her eyes:
"Your Majesty wants to trap me in this Phoenix Kingdom? But unfortunately, I don't like staying here.
"Your Majesty must understand that once my unique demonic aura is fully released, everyone in the world will know my whereabouts in an instant. At that time, the Phoenix Power Nation will become a center of war and plunder, deeply trapped in the vortex created by this thousand-year-old legend.
"Of course, Your Majesty is the emperor's favorite, a dragon and phoenix among men, with great strength, so he is naturally not afraid of this killing and fighting.
"But... what about your Majesty's subjects? The Phoenix Power Nation has ample military strength, and indeed, many talented individuals are willing to serve your Majesty. But how will your Majesty's mortal subjects cope? How will they find a way to survive in this blood-soaked Shura Field?"
Shen Wuyou spoke slowly, his voice was not loud, but extremely clear.
"Your Majesty is extremely intelligent and must have considered this aspect long ago. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent people to tie me up and bring me here, but would have directly arrested and imprisoned me...
"Isn't it?"
Hearing this, Long Chujun burst into laughter. No one knew what was in his sharp eyes, but from Shen Wuyou's perspective, there was admiration in them.
I only heard her repeatedly praising: "Hahaha good! What a great speech! What a soul from another world! What a red spider lily demon!"
When she smiled, the whole room became warm, as if the scorching sun melted the ice and snow, and it was full of vitality.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your kind words..." Shen Wuyou curled his lips slightly without saying much.
Her guess was correct. Long Chujun had already thought about what kind of crisis would be brought to the Huangquan Kingdom if she was unwilling.
She herself was indeed fearless, but as the ruler of a country, she would never allow her people to suffer such a disaster.
So she didn't dare to imprison her rashly, but instead tried to test her thoughts before making a decision.
