Chapter 86 Your Excellency, Please Spare the Demon
When Wen Xiao and Wen Shu went to the cave, Elder Xuan waved his hand and told Uncle Wang and the others to go with them, so that they could keep an eye on each other and in case their promising alchemy talents were really kidnapped.
Wen Xiao led the way, but the further they went, the more Uncle Wang felt something was wrong.
This road looks familiar.
"Little Wen, where are those two demons?"
Wen Xiao slowed her pace and replied, "It's in a large cave, and it's quite beautiful."
"Is it in the northeast? There's a big red-flowered tree outside the cave?"
“Yes,” Wen Xiao turned her head in surprise, “Uncle Wang, how did you know?”
Uncle Wang closed his eyes in pain, waved his hand urgently, and said, "Hurry up, hurry up! I'll lead the way, Xiao Wen, follow closely!"
Wen Xiao was confused. She turned to look at her older brother and found that Wen Shu had also become serious. So she obediently fell silent and followed him.
Inside the cave, both Su Yu and Feng Huaijin heard the sounds. Feng Huaijin tried to move, but Su Yu held him down.
Su Yu gave him a look, meaning that Feng Huaijin should behave himself and recover from his injuries, and that he would handle it.
Feng Huaijin reluctantly withdrew the black mist that had already emerged from his palm.
Su Yu sighed inwardly. The newcomer didn't seem to have any ill intentions for the time being, and he didn't want Twelve to develop a habit of using lethal attacks from the start. After dealing with Twelve's minor problem, Su Yu stopped trying to conceal his presence and headed straight for the demons outside who were already discussing the overly ornate cave.
"Who goes there!"
The demon leader shouted sharply into the depths of the cave, and the team, which had relaxed, tensed up instantly, each gripping their weapons tightly.
The leader of the demons had a bad feeling. The demonic aura inside the cave was far stronger than his own, and they were clearly no match for that unfamiliar demon.
But you can't get a refund.
The tall, burly middle-aged demon gritted his teeth and spoke again: "May I ask who you are? This is the storage area of my Fengyun Merchant Caravan. With your great strength, you should look down on these small commodities. May I ask what brings you to this humble place?"
He actually wanted to directly question them about why they were encroaching on their territory, but the moment he sensed the demonic aura emanating from the other side, he involuntarily cowered. If he couldn't afford to offend them, he'd better be respectful; survival was the priority.
If it weren't for the fact that the goods had already been moved outside the cave and were waiting to be stored away, and the magical beasts that were pulling the goods were basically exhausted and couldn't leave even if they wanted to, he would have definitely turned around and run away with the beasts without asking any more questions.
"Your storage place?" the strange demon finally spoke, saying slowly, "But when I came here, this was clearly a desolate cave."
"This..." Uncle Liu was speechless. He couldn't very well say that it was because those clever guys in the caravan thought that the storage point had to be both hidden and so that the demons couldn't tell that there was something hidden inside.
The final result was that the storage point was set up in a large cave in the northeast of the forest outside the city. When there was goods, barriers were set up and guards were arranged. When there were no goods, it was simply disguised as a deserted cave to prevent any inner demons from discovering it and waiting for them to come to them.
Who knew that if they said they'd disguise it as a deserted cave, they really wouldn't send any demons to watch over it!
Now look what's happened, the Demon Really has taken over the desolate cave.
Damn it, they thought these fancy decorations were for Xuan Laoda's team, who had brought back small goods to sell, to welcome them back.
Those few tears of emotion I shed were all for nothing!
Uncle Liu was filled with grief and indignation, but this reason was really damaging to the caravan's image. What's more, there were brothers who followed the caravan to make a living watching. What if they heard the reason and thought the caravan was unreliable and refused to follow? He couldn't bring himself to say it!
"Not going to talk?" Su Yu tilted his head slightly, finding the constipated look on the leader of the middle-aged demons quite amusing, but not wanting to cause any more trouble, so he was about to activate the Moon Demon Eye to erase all the demons' memories of this place.
"Please spare the demon, Your Excellency!"
A sharp scream rang out, and Su Yu turned her head to look. She found that it was the middle-aged demon she had seen in the tavern. Next to him, panting heavily, were Wen Xiao and his older brother Wen Shu, who looked much older than his age.
The purple light in Su Yu's eyes gradually faded, and she waited quietly for an explanation.
The sense of crisis of being locked on by the ancient ferocious beast suddenly dissipated. Uncle Liu and the demons beside him swayed and almost fell to the ground, barely managing to steady themselves.
Uncle Wang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking to himself how fortunate he was to have arrived in time to save his old buddies' lives.
Boss Xuan might actually be right.
This demon, whose strength far surpasses theirs, has fallen into their small place. Perhaps he truly is a rare phoenix fallen from grace, or perhaps he is a complete loser.
Anyway, they're all people we can't afford to offend.
He gestured to the few demons who had been spared to move away from the demon and come over to them. At the same time, he explained to Su Yu that they could stay as long as they wanted, but the houses in the city were more comfortable. If they wished, he could immediately send a message to the demons to prepare houses.
Then he tapped Wen Shu's back from behind.
This is the highest-ranking alchemist in their area, and the one that the strange demon desperately needs, making him the least likely to be in trouble.
Wen Shu understood and stepped forward, cupping his hands in greeting, saying, "I am Wen Shu. May I ask what your orders are?"
Su Yu looked at him, scrutinizing him several times, still finding it hard to believe that this demon was only twenty-two.
Wen Shu's back was tense.
"Come in with me."
With her heart at ease, Wen Shu obediently followed.
Uncle Wang quickly sent a message to Boss Xuan, asking them to come and help move the goods from Lao Liu's side, as the monsters there were exhausted and unwilling to move.
Wen Xiao squatted at the cave entrance with a worried look on her face, as if she was afraid that her brother would not be able to get out.
Wen Shu hadn't thought that much about it, but he was a little conflicted when he discovered that the kid he thought was a powerful demon was actually a great demon.
"It's him. The attack on his back has a corrosive effect. Could you please take a look and tell me how to treat it?"
Su Yu strode towards Feng Huaijin, directly pressed the restless brat who was sitting up and glaring at Wen Shu down, and tore off his newly put-on clothes to expose his back.
Wen Shu: ...I'm not the one who tears clothes, why are you glaring at me?
Feng Huaijin originally intended to propose, so he naturally couldn't allow himself to do such an important thing with his back bare. Therefore, he had taken off his old tattered clothes long ago and changed into a beautiful outfit.
But now, his marriage proposal failed, his clothes were torn, and he was forcefully suppressed by his brother. He couldn't help but feel frustrated, thinking that it would be great if there were no alchemists here at all. Anyway, this injury wouldn't kill him anytime soon, and he could wait until he and his brother officially became a couple before treating it.
And he didn't want to be seen by strangers!
Only his brother can see his body!
"You..." Heal with your eyes closed!
A light pat on the head, as if a warning, made Feng Huaijin, who was secretly plotting something mischievous, stiffen and instantly become obedient, remaining silent and withdrawn.
"Don't worry about him, please."
"...Ah, okay."
