Chapter 252: Extremely interesting

~7 min read 1,320 words

She slightly raised her head; a pair of beautiful deep eyes, through the open door, happened to fall on the soft comfortable chaise inside—there a young man in purple brocade robes was leaning.

Upon seeing Quanwu, a ripple involuntarily stirred deep within her heart.

The Quanwu before her was a bit more youthful than in her memory.

The girl quickly regained her composure, took a deep breath, and in a voice as calm as water softly said to the person inside: "Your Highness, I want to make a deal with you."

Quanwu inside heard this and couldn't help laughing; he lifted his gaze to the black-robed girl standing outside.

At a glance he saw through that she was not a demon but a human.

The black-robed girl, namely Lu Xiangxiang, felt a slight stir in her heart upon meeting Quanwu's familiar scrutinizing gaze.

She knew her identity had been exposed.

"I am human, but I wish to pledge myself to Your Highness." Lu Xiangxiang said solemnly: "Your Highness, I know many things about the Cultivation World; if Your Highness is willing to believe me, I can tell you everything."

"Oh?" Quanwu replied nonchalantly.

Lu Xiangxiang knew he was extremely wary, so she said: "Your Highness, now hundreds of exceptionally capable human cultivators have mixed into the Ten Thousand Li Plain; they will try every means to block the demon and monster races from invading the Cultivation World."

Quanwu gave a half-smile: "Aren't you human? Why would you pledge to this prince? Don't human cultivators have a saying, 'Those not of our kind must have different hearts'? How do you know I won't use you and then kill you?"

Lu Xiangxiang lowered her eyes, her tone a mix of hatred and resentment: "In the Cultivation World, my kin were all slain by these hypocritical cultivators; thus I wish them all dead."

"As long as Your Highness lets me see them all dead, even if Your Highness demands my life, I am willing."

Quanwu chuckled.

"Then tell me, what plan do the human cultivators have to drive a wedge between our demon and monster alliance?"

As he said this, Yuan Yao's image appeared in his mind.

So that's how it is.

That fox spirit was not the fox emperor's envoy, but a disguise by human cultivators.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiangxiang knew that although he didn't believe her, he was also willing to hear her out.

If her words held no value, he would without hesitation kill her.

The Demon Emperor's eldest son, Quanwu, is an extremely ruthless and cruel person.

In her previous life, after she unsealed Quanwu and other demons from the Taiwu Painting Scroll, had she not made a contract with them, Quanwu would likely have killed her long ago.

"Your Highness, the Quya King and the Yuhua King have both been slain by human cultivators; now the human cultivators hide in the Ten Thousand Li Plain, they will surely meet the human envoy team and inform the team's leader, the Human Immortal Venerable, that the demon and monster races have no intention of negotiating with humans, and furthermore, during the negotiations the demon and monster races will secretly infiltrate the Cultivation World everywhere, gradually taking control of it." Lu Xiangxiang said.

She raised her head and said seriously: "Your Highness, we must first set up a heavenly net and earthly trap, wait for the human cultivators to jump in of their own accord, then catch them all at once, and also place the human envoy team under house arrest to delay as much as possible."

Upon hearing these words, Quanwu's purple eyes flickered slightly.

A faint smile touched the corner of his lips.

"How did you learn of the demon and monster races' plan?"

"I eavesdropped." Lu Xiangxiang's heart jumped; "It was what those human cultivators said."

Quanwu suddenly shook his head: "No."

He beckoned her to come closer.

Lu Xiangxiang felt a sense of danger, but she forced herself to stay calm, stepped inside, and slowly approached him.

"Kneel." Quanwu told her.

Lu Xiangxiang's face changed instantly: "Your Highness..."

"Didn't you say you wanted to pledge to this prince? Or is that false?" Quanwu lifted his eyelids slightly.

Seeing his familiar expression, Lu Xiangxiang's heart jumped—he intends to use a charm technique on me!

Once she is charmed by him, he will lure her into revealing all the truth.

Then Quanwu will learn from her mouth that this is not the real world but a secret realm.

Given Quanwu's temperament, he will surely press for what happened over seven hundred years ago!

If he finds out, that I forcibly contracted him over seven hundred years ago, making him my subordinate…

He will surely kill me.

No, he should make me wish I were dead!

Lu Xiangxiang suddenly stepped back two steps, lowered her head, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, although I said I would pledge to you, I once swore to heaven that I would kneel only to heaven, earth, and my parents, never to anyone else."

Quanwu said nothing.

The human and the demon stared at each other for a moment.

"Raise your head and look at this prince." Quanwu suddenly said.

Lu Xiangxiang pressed her lips, slowly lifted her eyes, and gazed at his nose bridge.

She simply would not look into his eyes.

Quanwu is a succubus.

Seeing this, Quanwu supported his thin chin with his uninjured left hand, gave a half-smile, and said: "Is there anything else you wish to tell this prince?"

"Your Highness, please help me take revenge." Lu Xiangxiang said.

Quanwu casually agreed.

"Good."

The next moment, he sat upright, put on his shoes, and stepped down from the soft couch.

He was extremely tall; standing before Lu Xiangxiang, he was able to gaze at her.

Suddenly—

Lu Xiangxiang keenly sensed danger and immediately retreated.

Only saw Quanwu raise his hand expressionlessly, as if about to cast a soul-searching technique on her.

"Your Highness, what are you doing…"

"Are you clever but being misled by your own cleverness?" Quanwu stared at her, "You seem to know this prince quite well."

I have never seen you before, so it's really strange.

Lu Xiangxiang secretly thought it was bad; she could not deal with Quanwu now, let alone the two demon clan elders behind him, so she could only risk saying something.

Your Highness! I have deceived you.

She immediately said.

Quanwu raised his eyebrows.

Lu Xiangxiang exclaimed urgently, 'I am not from this time and space; I come from the cultivation world over seven hundred years in the future. I know you from that future, because I happened to save you.'

Quanwu calmly asked, 'And then?'

'At that time you had already lost both legs and needed care; seeing you pitiful, I stayed by your side to look after you.' Lu Xiangxiang knew that someone like Quanwu, selfish and despising women, would surely suspect her and kill her if she did not fabricate a suitable reason.

'Both legs broken?' Quanwu laughed, 'How could I, the palace, have broken both legs?'

Lu Xiangxiang said, 'It's because of this great war! Your Highness, you will be sealed by the Human Race Immortal Venerable.'

Quanwu: 'Then how did you come to over seven hundred years ago?'

Lu Xiangxiang's black hat slipped off, she raised her head and sincerely said, 'Not only am I alone; over a hundred human cultivators have also crossed time and space to arrive here. Most of them came to stop this great war.'

Quanwu suddenly laughed after hearing that.

No wonder.

No wonder all that has happened these past days has been so strange.

So that's how it is……

So that's how it is!

The human cultivators from over seven hundred years in the future came with their known memories and experience, wanting to fight the yao and mo clans from over seven hundred years ago?

Truly interesting.

Extremely interesting!
