Zhang Fan looked closely and saw that the person who hit him was Tu Shan Duoduo.
She looked nervous and pulled Zhang Fan into the alley.
If a conflict were to occur and expose him, Zhang Fan let her pull him along.
Tu Shan Duoduo blinked her big eyes, her gaze filled with confusion, and tilted her head to ask, "What are you doing here?"
Zhang Fan had no good feelings towards the demon race, after all, his sister-in-law's heart was taken out by a demon.
With a cold face, he was about to strike Tu Shan Duoduo when Tu Shan Duoduo suddenly grabbed Zhang Fan's hand, looked around to make sure it was safe, and then cautiously said, "Zhang Fan, you should leave quickly. If you are discovered, they will rip your heart out."
Zhang Fan frowned slightly. She had previously tried to dig into his heart, so what did she mean by saying this now?
"Didn't you want to rip out my heart?" Zhang Fan's voice was icy.
Tu Shan Duoduo's face scrunched up, her eyes filled with tears, and she sniffed as she said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that people who have their hearts ripped out would die."
As the number of demons on the street gradually increased, Tu Shan Duoduo became very nervous. She stopped talking and instead pulled Zhang Fan toward a place with fewer demons, eventually arriving at a small house.
Zhang Fan, unaware of Tu Shan Duoduo's intentions, followed her.
Tu Shan Duoduo poured Zhang Fan a glass of water, but Zhang Fan didn't take it. Tu Shan Duoduo wasn't annoyed and smiled slightly, saying, "Don't worry, this is spring water, there's no problem."
Zhang Fan: "What's the legend about the heart being dug out?"
Tu Shan Duoduo took a sip of water and began to speak slowly and deliberately.
There's a recent legend among the demon race that eating Zhang Fan's heart grants immortality, and that even a disabled fox like her can recover after consuming it.
Many demons flocked to him, all wanting Zhang Fan's heart.
After Tu Shan Duoduo's failure last time, she returned to the demon clan. When she heard that people can die without a heart, she was filled with lingering fear.
Tu Shan Duoduo said apologetically, "Zhang Fan, I'm sorry. I really didn't know that people could die without a heart. They told me that it wouldn't happen. I'm really sorry."
Zhang Fan: "Where did this legend come from?"
Tu Shan Duoduo: "Our Demon King is a demon of our clan. He was very weak before, but after eating a human's heart, his cultivation level suddenly increased. He said that the higher a person's cultivation level, the faster their cultivation level will increase after eating that person's heart."
"After you single-handedly destroyed the Heavenly Dragon Sect, the news spread everywhere, but no one knows where it came from."
Zhang Fan's eyes were deep and thoughtful; all of this was too much of a coincidence.
However, Zhang Fan also noticed something: "Your demon king recently had a child?"
Fang Zhiwen said that the son of the Demon King has been born.
Before she could finish speaking, Tu Shan Duoduo put her finger to her lips and said, "Shh."
She hid behind the window, opened it a crack, and after confirming that no one was around, she patted her chest to calm her frightened heart before whispering, "You absolutely can't tell anyone about this."
Tu Shan Duoduo sat down next to Zhang Fan, poured herself another cup of tea, and then whispered to him, "The current Demon King's origins are illegitimate, and he is very reluctant to let others discuss this matter."
The previous demon king was diligent in governing and loved his people, and was very benevolent, which ended the lives of all the demons who were wandering.
Less than five miles from the demon race's settlement, there was a volcano. Not long ago, it suddenly erupted, threatening to wipe out the entire demon race. The former demon king threw himself into the volcano and sealed it away, bringing peace to the region.
After the Demon King's fall, everyone waited for the birth of his offspring.
As a result, the current Demon King Tushan Guanfu, having consumed many hearts, possessed profound cultivation and directly declared himself king.
Previously, no demon obeyed him. Tu Shan Guan Fu was extremely cruel. If any demon questioned him, he would kill them directly.
Even the demons nowadays can't defeat him, so they can only endure it.
Tu Shan Guan Fu's subordinates patrol the area, and if they hear anyone badmouthing him, they will immediately kill the demon.
Now everyone in the demon race is in danger and no one dares to discuss this matter.
However, everyone was unconvinced and hoped that the son of the Demon King could defeat Tushan Guanfu.
Tu Shan Duoduo sighed: "We dare not offend the Demon King's subordinates at all; they could kill a demon at any time."
Zhang Fan heard the sound of orderly footsteps coming from not far away. Tu Shan Duoduo whispered, "These are his men."
Zhang Fan opened the window a crack and saw a group of demons dressed in armor.
The others lowered their heads, not daring to confront the group of soldiers directly.
The soldiers swarmed like locusts, looting a lot of things from the stalls on both sides of the road. A young demon, wanting to protect his family's belongings, rushed out and spat at the soldiers.
The little demon's mother immediately knelt on the ground to apologize, but the soldier ignored her and directly swung his knife and killed the little demon.
A bird's head flew out, and the little demon mother rushed over, picked up the little bird's head, and held it in her arms, shaking it a few times like a mother comforting a baby. She immediately burst into tears.
The soldiers burst into laughter: "You looked so cool swinging your sword just now."
"Not enough, too small, not satisfying to chop."
"I want to cut down a few more."
The other demons were so frightened that they trembled, and some of the more timid ones even fainted.
The soldier laughed loudly: "Look at you, you coward."
Tu Shan Duoduo covered her ears, curled up into a ball, and trembled like a leaf.
Looking at Tu Shan Duoduo's pale face, Zhang Fan felt it didn't seem fake.
When Zhang Fan spoke to her today, he kept observing her expression. Her eyes were always looking to the left front, which meant that she was recalling something and was not lying.
Seeing how terrified she was, Zhang Fan handed her a glass of water. Tu Shan Duoduo took it, and after drinking the hot water, her tense heart calmed down a little.
"Thank you, Zhang Fan. I treated you so badly before, and you still offered me tea. You are such a kind person."
Previously, she wanted to dig out his heart, but this time she risked everything to save Zhang Fan.
Seeing Tu Shan Guanfu's subordinates and Tu Shan Duoduo's frightened expression, Zhang Fan knew how much burden Tu Shan Duoduo had carried in her heart when she brought him home.
But she did it anyway, and Zhang Fan's hatred for her lessened considerably.
Zhang Fan: "Since the Demon King is from your clan, are you particularly well-informed?"
Tu Shan Duoduo nodded blankly: "I guess so."
Zhang Fan's voice carried a hint of sadness: "My sister-in-law's heart was ripped out by your demon king. I want to get it back, but I don't know where he put it."
Tu Shan Duoduo: "I know there's a treasure pavilion in the palace where all his treasures are kept, but it's heavily guarded, and you can't get in."
Zhang Fan: "Can you get me a map?"
Tu Shan Duoduo pursed her lips and remained silent. Zhang Fan sighed, "Last time, you almost ripped out my heart. I was so scared that I had nightmares for a long time afterward."
"I'm sorry," Tu Shan Duoduo apologized again, her eyes filled with remorse.
Zhang Fan: "If you can get the map, how about we call it even?"
Tu Shan Duoduo nodded slowly: "I'll give it a try."
