Chapter 456 Rumors
Meng Qingyin asked, "What exactly did Huang Teng do to you? Why are you trapped here?"
Ye Yingjun gritted his teeth and said, "Being trapped here is only my soul form; my true body is still on Night Orchid Star—Night Orchid Star is the home of our Night Demon Clan. It's a very strange planet, where it is never illuminated by sunlight. A special gas has been produced on the planet, which we call demonic energy..."
"Of course, that's not the point. Back then, Huang Teng colluded with the Fox Clan and came to Night Orchid Star under the guise of cooperation. He talked about discussing a grand plan to resist the alien race, but in reality, he took advantage of my unpreparedness and sealed my soul in the Demon Tower! The other Night Demon citizens were also exiled here!"
"This Tower of Babel was originally the sacred tower of our Night Demon Clan, but now it has become a prison to imprison me. How ridiculous!"
Fox clan?
White foxes must also be foxes, right?
Oh no, has the White Fox made enemies with the Night Demon Clan?
Meng Qingyin felt a little uneasy, but asked calmly, "The fox clan? Does the fox clan really have such great abilities?"
Ye Yingjun: "To be precise, it's the Blood Fox Clan. The Fox Clan has two branches, the White Fox Clan and the Blood Fox Clan. Both of them can control the soul. The one who extracted my soul and sealed it here was the Red Fox King."
"It's good that it's not the White Fox Clan." Meng Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief. "You just said this is the sacred tower of your Night Demon Clan. Does Huang Teng know about what happened inside this tower?"
A contemptuous smile appeared on Ye Yingjun's face. "Of course he wouldn't know."
I never expected that this tower could also block those prying eyes.
Meng Qingyin was very satisfied with this; it seemed they could use this place as their secret base from now on.
Currently, it seems that the god-lord named "Huang Teng" is opposed to the Night Demon Clan, and the other four god-lords, with him as their leader, can also be seen as opposing the Night Demon Clan.
"Will your soul be sealed here forever?" Meng Qingyin asked. "Or is there any way to break the Red Fox King's seal on you?"
If Ye Yingjun remains sealed in this tower as a soul, his physical form will inevitably be destroyed once the war between the alien races breaks out and reaches Yelan Star.
If the physical body is damaged, the soul will probably also be destroyed.
Ye Yingjun said with a deep expression, "There is no good way, we can only wait for the right opportunity."
Meng Qingyin asked in confusion, "Waiting for the right opportunity? Do you already have a plan to break the seal, and your current dormancy is just waiting for that opportunity?"
Ye Yingjun: "..." Not really.
He cleared his throat and said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm just waiting. When the power of the Red Fox King weakens and the seal is no longer enough to trap my soul, I will naturally be able to break through the seal and return to my original body."
Meng Qingyin: "..." She had overestimated Ye Yingjun.
"So, you can't do anything right now?"
"...You could say that."
Meng Qingyin sighed: "Then what about the Heart of the Night Demon? Can you give me one Heart of the Night Demon?"
Ye Yingjun's face visibly tensed up: "Can I ask you for a favor?"
Meng Qingyin: "What?"
Ye Yingjun said with a bitter face, "Please stop killing the Night Demon's people."
Meng Qingyin readily agreed: "Of course. Now that I am the leader of the Night Demon Clan, I naturally won't kill Night Demons indiscriminately. But I need a Night Demon Heart. Do you have a way to do that?"
Ye Yingjun was relieved: "If you only want the Heart of the Night Demon, I do have one here."
After saying that, it took out a Night Demon Heart and handed it to Meng Qingyin.
Meng Qingyin couldn't help but ask, "The Heart of the Night Demon is the heart of the Night Demon, how did you obtain it?"
Ye Yingjun explained, "Please don't misunderstand me. I didn't kill any Night Demons. These are the hearts of those Night Demons that died of old age. I just collected them."
Meng Qingyin put the Night Demon Heart into her system inventory. "Then I'll be going now."
Ye Yingjun asked reluctantly, "Will you come again?"
He was sealed here with no one to talk to; he was so lonely.
Meng Qingyin glanced at him: "Yes."
It's incredibly awkward to see such a reluctant expression on that grotesque face.
"Um...can you wear a mask in the future?" Meng Qingyin thought about it and decided against it. It wasn't his choice to look like this. "Never mind, forget I said anything."
Ye Yingjun hurriedly asked, "Wearing a mask? You don't want to see my face?"
Meng Qingyin comforted him, "I was being presumptuous. I know you didn't want to look like this either. I'm sorry."
“That’s easy to solve.” Ye Yingjun transformed, and the oppressive Night Demon disappeared, replaced by an extremely handsome long-haired man.
He was surrounded by a faint black aura, which made him look mysterious and alluring.
Meng Qingyin was dumbfounded.
Ye Yingjun explained, "Actually, this is what I really look like, but this appearance is too unimpressive, so I have never shown my true face to anyone."
Meng Qingyin murmured, "Only this is worthy of the name 'Handsome'... What about the other Night Demons?"
Ye Yingjun: "They also have human forms, but none of them are as terrifying as the Night Demon, so I ordered that they are not allowed to show themselves in human form."
The Night Demons have two forms: a human form and a Night Demon form.
While the Night Demon form is rather ugly, its towering height of seven or eight meters gives it an imposing and powerful presence, making it seem quite formidable.
Ye Yingjun felt that it was necessary to establish a fearsome image for the Night Demon Clan, so that people might be wary and dare not launch a war against them rashly.
In his view, this was a very clever way to protect himself.
Meng Qingyin guessed, "So, you didn't spread the news that the Night Demon Clan is inherently warlike, did you?"
Ye Yingjun said smugly, "That's right! This way, those alien races will have to think twice before invading Yelan Star."
Meng Qingyin: "..." The cunning of a bad person is no match for the quick thinking of a fool.
No wonder Ye Yingjun was so easily brainwashed by the white fox; it turns out he has no brain at all!
If the alien races really wanted to invade Yelan Star, would they give up just because of a rumor?
Moreover, if Ye Yingjun spreads the news that the Night Demon Clan is inherently warlike, then if anything bad happens in the future, the first people to suspect will be the Night Demon Clan!
Who told them to be warmongers?
Having taken on such a mess, Meng Qingyin felt that her future was bleak.
"Stop spreading these rumors right now!" she commanded.
Ye Yingjun was puzzled but did as he was told, "Alright then, but I'm only a soul now and can't contact the Night Demons on Night Orchid Star."
Meng Qingyin: "..."
Ye Yingjun felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look her in the eye: "However, I can make sure the Night Demons here stop spreading rumors."
Back then, the Red Fox King sealed his soul and sent nearly half of the Night Demons here.
Because the Red Fox King's abilities are limited, half of the Night Demons remain on Night Orchid Star.
He was unable to contact the Night Demons who were far away on Night Orchid Star.
Meng Qingyin waved her hand: "Alright, you go ahead and do it."
Ye Yingjun looked at him expectantly: "You'll come back, won't you? You won't abandon me, will you?"
Although Ye Yingjun is foolish, his face is undeniably beautiful.
Looking at that face, Meng Qingyin really couldn't get angry. "Don't worry, since I've chosen to become the leader of the Night Demon Clan, I won't abandon you. We're on the same side."
Ye Yingjun was moved to tears, "I and all the people of the Night Demon will follow you to the death!"
Meng Qingyin nodded, sighed, and left.
I thought Ye Yingjun was a powerful, mature, and wise ally, but it turns out he's a bit dim-witted and easily moved.
Ah, as expected, there's no such thing as a free lunch.
Now, she not only has to attend to her own affairs, but also devise a way out for the Night Demon clan.
However, a war between alien races is inevitable, and the Night Demon race will be a powerful ally for her.
Moreover, she obtained the Heart of the Night Demon without lifting a finger, so it seems that taking over the Night Demon Clan is more beneficial than harmful.
