Not only did Lu Mengmeng feel subtly insulted, but Lian Xiu also felt subtly insulted.
After all, when he ascended to heaven, he took with him an empty eggshell that had broken open, and he didn't even know that his own daughter had been missing for thousands of years.
That sounds a bit sarcastic.
Just as Xiu was struggling with whether or not to use his cultivation to perish together with this damned scorpion demon,
The scorpion demon sighed, thus saving his own dog's life.
"I also want to raise my child to be fair-skinned, chubby, and tall."
With the previous setup in place, everyone's attention turned to Lu Mengmeng.
Lu Mengmeng, who is fair-skinned, chubby, and big: ? ? ?
Xiu Yi's lips twitched.
Only then did he realize that what the other person had said earlier was not sarcasm, but a compliment.
Although this kind of praise is clearly low in emotional intelligence, it's the kind of praise that would get you killed if you went out in public.
With a little thought, one can roughly guess why the scorpion demon sighed like that.
It's definitely because he couldn't raise his child.
Xiu Yiming asked, somewhat puzzled, "Where is your child?"
"Could it be lost?"
If that's the case, it's possible that fathers are all careless, and that he ascended to heaven with an empty eggshell back then wasn't such a heinous crime, but rather a common phenomenon among fathers when taking care of their children.
The scorpion demon had a square face, and her gaze was somewhat fierce when she looked at people.
It's the kind of face that makes you feel like he might suddenly attack and hurt you at any moment, just by looking at you.
But when she spoke to the crowd, her voice trembled slightly.
My darlings...
"They've forced me to open my eyes because they've been held hostage by Crescent Moon and her gang!"
Now that the words have been spoken, he has no right to hold back.
His tone was extremely resentful, and his clenched teeth made him look somewhat ferocious.
"I was originally the lord of Mount Lich."
I live a secluded life with my children.
I have absolutely no desire to get involved in the conflict between humans and fairies.
They lived in seclusion for over five thousand years.
However, recently a demon suddenly held a grand banquet for its king. All the great demons in the world must attend, otherwise they will be attacked by the entire demon horde!
Although I am a powerful demon and confident in my ability to protect myself, I have hundreds or even thousands of descendants.
If my Lich Mountain is truly besieged by powerful demons, I will be unable to protect them all.
So, I went to the banquet after a long time.
Lu Mengmeng blinked, then guessed knowingly, "So you had your house stolen, right?"
The children were used as the focal point of the operation; it was certainly not their own choice.
Then the only option is to abduct the child when he's not looking.
The scorpion demon nodded with tears in his eyes, his face appearing exceptionally weathered as the wind and sand blew against it.
"After attending that grand banquet, I returned home early."
Then I discovered that all my children were gone.
Moreover, there were golden runes left on the wall.
"Let me guard this formation, or kill all my children."
As soon as he finished speaking, he swept his tail, leaving a deep ditch in the ground.
"This line is the dividing line I must guard."
Once you cross this line, the great formation will be automatically broken, and my children, as the core of the formation, will be drawn into the raging flames, their very souls burned to ashes.
I have no intention of stopping you.
Then you must rescue my child.
Otherwise, even if I die here today, I will never die after my child!
The scorpion demon spoke each word with force and conviction, brooking no argument.
But he had this attitude that if my child doesn't come out, I'll fight you to the death rather than let you pass.
Lu Haotian stepped forward, frowning as he asked, "Where is your child?"
The scorpion demon raised her finger and pointed in the distance.
Everyone looked up at the same time.
As ordinary human beings, none of them saw anything in the distance.
Only a few powerful demons with exceptionally good eyesight could see a large pit in the ground far away.
The pit was filled with raging flames.
There is a platform directly above the pit.
There was a lot of little scorpions crawling around on the platform.
That scorpion was really small.
They're smaller than normal shoes, and the largest is only about the length of a thumb.
If Lu Mengmeng hadn't been afraid of angering the scorpion demon, she would have asked, "Did your wife cheat on you? Otherwise, how could you have given birth to such tiny scorpions?"
Could he be the kid from next door, Old Wang's family?
The flames in the large pit below kept licking the boards beneath the feet of the little scorpions above.
However, the board seemed to have a fire-resistant effect; when the flames touched the board, they spread to both sides and did not cause any harm to the little scorpions on the board.
After everyone looked away, they all looked at the scorpion demon with mixed feelings.
The scorpion demon stood right in the middle.
Lu Mengmeng and her group were standing to the east of the line he had just drawn.
The little scorpions were located just west of that line.
Moreover, the distance between the two parties is so great that even humans with exceptional eyesight cannot see it with the naked eye.
We can't cross the 38th parallel; we also need to rescue the little scorpions.
How are they supposed to save them?
Are you really not making things difficult for them?!
The scorpion demon probably understood what everyone was thinking, but she couldn't comprehend their sorrow at all.
In terms of grief, who could be more grief-stricken than him, whose child was taken hostage?
With an air of nonchalance, he casually slammed his two hook-like legs to the ground.
"That's how it is."
I've already told you how to solve it.
