Chapter 463: We Must Coexist in Harmony!

"I am Xu Que!"

Whoosh!

The moment Xu Que finished speaking, he dispelled the effect of the Disguise Puppet; a burst of Spiritual Light instantly flickered across his body, then rapidly dimmed to reveal his True Body!

Su Ling'er and Su Xiaoqi were instantly dumbfounded, watching the golden-haired monkey before their eyes suddenly transform into a graceful youth with a face like polished jade, gentle and refined, possessing extraordinary bearing; both found it hard to believe!

Sun Wukong was actually Xu Que! He was the Young Hero Xu Que who had suppressed and slain the Fire Emperor within the Fire Yuan Kingdom, making a huge name for himself!

Su Xiaoqi's cheeks immediately flushed red; thinking about how she had just loudly proclaimed words like "admiring Xu Que," she wished she could instantly find a cave to burrow into and hide—it was too embarrassing!

Dead Monkey, dead Xu Que, you're both bad guys!

Su Xiaoqi felt immensely ashamed and indignant!

Su Ling'er looked at Xu Que for quite a while before finally asking, "How did you manage to enter our Ancestral Land back then?"

"I simply used a Buddha Secret Art to alter my aura and appearance, and upon entering the Ancestral Land, I sealed my cultivation, which is why I didn't trigger the Lei Chi Formation!" Xu Que explained with a bitter smile!

"Why did you do that?" Su Ling'er continued to ask.

Xu Que sighed: "Sigh, a person in the Jianghu has no choice but to drift with the currents!"

Su Ling'er was instantly startled and asked, "Did someone force you to do this?"

"Of course not; no one in this world can force me to do anything! It's just that when I first met you two, I had already transformed into Sun Wukong; Creation plays cruel tricks on people!" Xu Que said helplessly; back then, he had only intended to act cool, never expecting so many things would happen later, or that he would inexplicably become the Demon Emperor of the Alien Race!

Scenes from when she first met Xu Que also flashed through Su Ling'er's mind; at that time, Xu Que indeed already looked like Sun Wukong, standing outside the Tiger King's Tribal singing something called King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain, which was truly strange yet very amusing!

However, she also believed Xu Que bore no evil intentions; otherwise, he would not have intervened multiple times to save the Alien Race, or even yielded the position of Demon Emperor to her.

"Then why didn't you tell me you were of the Human Race back then?" Su Ling'er asked again; this was the doubt lingering in her heart.

Xu Que shook his head and smiled: "Think about it; if I had said I was of the Human Race back then, wouldn't you have driven me away immediately?"

Su Ling'er and Su Xiaoqi both froze, then silently nodded.

Indeed, just as Xu Que said, the relationship between the Alien Race and the Human Race was already quite mysterious, neither enemies nor friends; if Xu Que had declared himself Human back then, the Alien Race would surely have suspected him of harboring conspiracies.

"Then why are you telling us now?" Su Xiaoqi asked.

Xu Que narrowed his eyes slightly, exhaled deeply, and his expression instantly became profound and sorrowful as he sighed: "Sigh, because I can no longer endure the torment within my heart! Lying is exhausting; tell one falsehood, and you need a thousand more to cover it up. You also know that I am rather innocent and naive, honest and simple; for me, lying is simply more painful than death!"

Xu Que spoke with such moving sincerity, his face so genuine, looking just like an innocent and lovely child, nearly on the verge of tears and sobs.

"Pfft!"

Su Ling'er and Su Xiaoqi simultaneously couldn't hold back their laughter, covering their mouths as they burst out giggling.

They knew Xu Que all too well; initially, they had almost believed him, but the moment Xu Que claimed to be innocent, naive, honest, and simple, the two of them immediately couldn't hold it in and broke into laughter!

Someone like you being innocent and naive, honest and simple?

Don't be ridiculous, okay?

Compared to you, everyone else in this world seems more innocent and naive, more honest and simple than you are!

"Alright, actually, I suspected your identity from the start, but those doubts were dispelled after we entered the Ancestral Land; moreover, since you are unwilling to be the Demon Emperor now, whether you are Alien or not hardly matters!" Su Ling'er said, looking at Xu Que with feigned annoyance, without blaming him for impersonating an Alien.

Xu Que also smiled and said, "Besides the reasons I just mentioned, more importantly, I want the Alien Race to integrate into this world and no longer need to hide from the pursuit of Demon Beasts!"

"Integrate into the world? What do you mean?" Su Ling'er instantly froze.

Xu Que smiled: "Bring all your clansmen and follow me to the Imperial City to coexist with the Human Race; the Demon Beasts will absolutely dare not invade!"

In fact, with his strength, he could completely exchange for an even more powerful Formation to guard the Alien Race, ensuring their Tribal would never be breached by Demon Beasts.

But what use would that be?

What Xu Que truly wanted was to give the Alien Race fairness, allowing them to be truly free, treated fairly, neither bullied by Demon Beasts nor ostracized by the Human Race!

"This... how is that possible? The Human Race won't welcome us!" Su Ling'er was immediately shocked, shaking her head.

Su Xiaoqi also froze, unable to believe Xu Que would utter such absurd words.

Go to the Human Race's Imperial City to get along with the Human Race?

How could that possibly be achieved?

Although the Human Race did not view the Alien Race as enemies, they were still very exclusionary toward them, existing in a state of neither enemy nor friend; how could they possibly allow them to settle in the Imperial City?

"Why is it impossible?" Xu Que couldn't help but smile.

"Don't forget, the Fire Yuan Kingdom is now under the control of our Zha Tian Gang; moreover, let alone the Fire Yuan Kingdom, even if it were five kingdoms, as long as I say it's acceptable, no one would dare defy me; if there really are any who do, then let the Zha Tian Gang go and reason with them!"

"..." Su Ling'er and the other were instantly speechless.

Reason with them? Those words didn't seem so simple; judging by the Zha Tian Gang's style, their fists were probably the reason!

However, Xu Que's words also moved Su Ling'er's heart.

Now that she was the ruler of the Alien Race, she bore the responsibility of leading them toward prosperity, but continuing to hide like this, facing slaughter by Demon Beasts from time to time, was ultimately no solution.

Their clan desperately needed a peaceful environment; only by settling down properly could they have a day when they rose to power.

"Stop hesitating; pack your things tonight, and we'll depart for the Imperial City tomorrow!" Xu Que patted Su Ling'er's fragrant shoulder, saying with full confidence.

After all, the Imperial City was now under Lady Ya's control; when he had left previously, all the King Marquises had personally come to declare their stance, supporting the Zha Tian Gang and supporting Lady Ya's assumption of power.

Therefore, this return was precisely to let the Alien Race integrate into the life of the Human Race and coexist in harmony; this was what the Cultivation World ought to look like.

"But... will the current ruler of the Imperial City listen to you?" At this point, Su Ling'er asked, worried that Xu Que would find this matter very difficult to handle.

Getting one race to accept another was indeed very difficult; unless the ruler issued a decree granting the Alien Race special privileges, only after a long time might the Human Race slowly begin to accept them.

"Rest assured, I will definitely be able to persuade her!" Xu Que smiled.

"Really possible? You aren't planning to solve this with force, are you?" Su Ling'er expressed doubt, believing that when the time came, Xu Que would likely use coercive methods!

Xu Que immediately became displeased and, patting his chest, said: "Are you kidding? How could I be that kind of person? We are people who reason; a gentleman uses words, not fists; we will definitely be able to persuade Lady Ya!"

【Come on, everyone repeat after me, "persuade (shui)!" Updates have indeed been much slower these past few days; please give the handsome me two or three days to adjust, and I'll immediately return to three chapters a day; if my condition is good, I might occasionally drop four chapters!】
