An Qianshan looked at Gu Liyan with a serious expression: "Gu Liyan, your idea is truly noble! But I don't care about anything else, I just want my only family member by my side! I don't care about divine retribution, all I want is to save my daughter!"
"But you, so humble and insignificant, must understand: only the strong are worthy to be enemies with those who are higher than the sky! Do you even understand?!"
Gu Liyan coldly replied, "I don't understand! This world shouldn't have a distinction between the strong and the weak, the lowly and the worthless. Even if the person about to die in front of me is an ordinary person, I would still save them! No one can despise any life! Life deserves respect!"
Gu Liyan looked intently at An Qianshan and said seriously, "It's not impossible for the human and demon races to unite and work together to survive; you just haven't tried to accept it!"
"You..." An Qianshan wanted to say something, but Gu Liyan had already flashed away and rushed out.
An Qianshan immediately cursed under his breath, "That stupid fox!"
Gu Liyan arrived in front of the group in the blink of an eye and immediately shouted, "Stop!"
Upon hearing Gu Liyan's voice, dozens of people paused. In that moment of distraction, Gu Liyan waved his hand, sending out a chilling gust of wind. Feeling the coldness, everyone present shivered. The next second, Gu Liyan flipped his hand, and the peach blossom fan flew out like a throwing knife, spinning once before returning to his hand.
Immediately, everyone felt that the iron lock in their hands had lost its target, and with a strong pull, the iron lock broke into pieces.
Seeing Gu Liyan easily cut the iron lock with a wave of her hand, the burly middle-aged man at the head of the group coldly shouted:
"Kid, this prey is ours. Don't make trouble for yourself, get lost!"
Gu Liyan ignored the middle-aged man and moved quickly to the dying python.
Sensing someone approaching, the python stirred slightly, attempting to resist. However, the next second, it felt a pair of palms land on its brow, followed by a continuous, life-giving energy flowing into its body, instantly easing its injuries.
However, Gu Liyan, who had transferred the life-giving power, frowned and said with regret, "Although it didn't damage the internal organs, it did affect the foundation and even injured the placenta inside the body. I'm afraid..."
"Shh..." Hearing Gu Liyan's words, the python flicked its tongue and made a whimpering sound, as if it was grieving for losing its child.
Gu Liyan sighed, raised his hand and gently patted its head, saying helplessly and with guilt, "I'm sorry, I can't save your child..."
Upon hearing Gu Liyan's words, the burly man immediately picked up his weapon and stepped forward, shouting, "You brat, who do you think you are? How dare you save the demon race? Do you want to make an enemy of the entire human race?!"
Hearing the burly man's words, Gu Liyan turned his head and looked at everyone with a cold gaze. "Humans strive to become stronger in order to live, and they fight their whole lives to become stronger. But I have never known or understood why humans would hurt others and ruin their lives just to survive!"
"Huh? Are you crazy, kid? How can the lives of beasts compare to those of our noble human race! A bunch of ugly and enormous monsters deserve to be the targets of our human race's conquest!" the burly man said righteously.
Gu Liyan's gaze swept over everyone present, his eyes bloodshot. Wasn't the beast and monster he was talking about referring to himself?
Gu Liyan subconsciously clenched his fist and spoke coldly:
"You humans strive to live for the sake of procreation, but do you know that the demon race also lives for the same reason? They share the same thoughts and feelings as you, and are not the beasts you speak of! How can you call a demon a monster when the two races have different laws of survival? Moreover, it has not harmed you, so why do you want to exterminate it!"
Upon hearing Gu Liyan's words, the burly man pushed aside the person blocking his way and walked up to Gu Liyan. "Kid, what exactly do you want? You've been spouting a bunch of high-sounding principles, all for the sake of the demon beasts. Are you out of your mind?"
Gu Liyan frowned and said, "How is it any different from humans using demons as objects of pleasure, or from pleasing life without respecting it? If anyone is crazy, it should be you bunch of people who treat life like a game!"
Hearing Gu Liyan's voice from afar, An Qianshan felt a jolt in his heart. He had once felt the same way, regarding Gu Liyan as an anomaly, someone to please. It was only when Gu Liyan died after her miraculous escape that he realized that demons, like humans, were living beings with feelings...
It's just that among the demon race, only Gu Liyan can transform into human form, so the world doesn't know this!
"I think this guy has gone mad. Let's all go together and kill him!" The burly man shouted when he saw that Gu Liyan was stubborn to the end.
Hearing the burly man's words, Gu Liyan frowned and shook his head, truly puzzled. "Is this the choice one makes as a human being?"
That's truly cruel and terrifying...
Just as everyone was about to step forward, the giant python that had been on the verge of death on the ground suddenly moved. Its massive body coiled up, and unexpectedly, it protected Gu Liyan with its own body.
Not only was Gu Liyan taken aback, but An Qianshan, who was not far away, was also speechless with surprise.
For humans, demons are simply targets to be conquered. They have no time to communicate or investigate the emotions of demons; those who disobey are simply killed!
