Chapter 282: What Are You Doing?
The Demon God's hoarse voice rang out in his ear, carrying a chilling murderous intent that made his skin crawl.
Ren Yidao shuddered all over, his voice trembling as he asked:
"You want to kill him?"
"Wow, how terrifying!"
【Scared now? Haha! I will devour his soul and flesh completely! Turn them into my nourishment! I will...】
While the Demon God continued to cackle strangely, Ren Yidao's expression suddenly changed, and he said loudly:
"Senior Uncle Sect Leader! Pull me back again! I just forgot an important matter!"
【How could you...】 The Demon God's voice even changed, as if he truly had not expected this development.
Swoosh.
A flash before his eyes, and Ren Yidao appeared once again within the Qingzhuan Dojo.
He smiled and nodded at the stone statue, then looked with a playful expression at the arm where the Demon God was hiding, transmitting his voice inside:
("Come on, I'm back, it's your turn, please begin your performance!")
【...】
The Demon God said not a word, as if he had heard nothing at all.
But Ren Yidao did not intend to let him off easily, continuing to tease:
("Playing dead is no fun. I'm still waiting to see you show off your divine might and kill the Sect Leader, don't be a coward, little brother.")
("What? Asleep? Or are you getting on in years, and your hearing has declined too?")
Ren Yidao heaped every possible humiliation upon this blustering Demon God, riding right in his face and outputting wildly.
Aren't you arrogant?
Don't you eat a dozen Asking Dao cultivators at a time?
Keep going!
Show me!
People have been delivered right to your front, why are you being shy now?
Having been outputted at from behind for a long time, the Demon God remained silent throughout, making no reaction no matter what Ren Yidao said, not even daring to reveal a shred of his aura.
He truly had not expected this development...
By all logic, this guy was clearly a Fox Demon, so he should have honestly hidden himself and tried his best to avoid contact with experts of the Human Race.
Yet, why did he dare to appear before the other party time and time again?
No!
This is too wrong!
Even, just by asking, the other party would pull him over...
On call?
No, are Asking Dao cultivators really this easy to talk to?
Does this Asking Dao cultivator not have his own cultivation to attend to?
Give me some of that expert demeanor!
How can the head of a sect be this approachable?
The Demon God cowered in the corner, gritting his teeth at Ren Yidao's provocations, but simply refusing to react.
He was gambling.
Gambling that Ren Yidao would not expose his existence to others.
He had gambled correctly.
Seeing that the Demon God was not cooperating at all, Ren Yidao curled his lips and chose to ignore this coward.
He raised his head, bowed to the stone statue watching him, and said respectfully:
"Senior Uncle Sect Leader, could you let me have a few words with Xinying?"
【Naturally, that is fine.】
Ren Yidao stepped forward to lift Xinying down from the stone statue's shoulder, affectionately ruffled her blood-red hair, and said softly:
"I forgot to say just now, I have to go out for a trip later, and I might not be able to return for a long time."
"But don't worry, if you feel lonely, just have the Sect Leader notify my Senior Sister, and she will definitely rush over at the fastest speed, okay?"
"Although she is a bit crazy on ordinary days, she will definitely not be bad to you."
"Rest assured, I will absolutely not leave you behind."
Looking at Ren Yidao's gentle expression, Xinying was dazed for a moment, then revealed a pure smile:
【... Mm!】
【I will wait for you, always!】
"The child is cute, isn't she? She was this big when she was just born... hmm, just as big as she is now."
"Although I don't seem to have put in any effort, it is, after all, my creation." Huhu was very proud of this.
【... Mm?】
"Tsk, I've already come out, why are you still being shy?"
"Could it be that you are an unmarried young lady?"
【... Little brat, do you know?】
This time, the Demon God's voice was much less arrogant than before, becoming even deeper.
But Ren Yidao was not afraid, teasingly saying:
"Yo, finally willing to come out! What do I know? Could it be that I guessed right?"
【... He is very strong.】
"Oh, you mean this, I naturally know this." Ren Yidao rolled his eyes, feeling that this fellow was spouting useless nonsense.
【You know?】 Seeing Ren Yidao's indifferent reaction, the Demon God said angrily, as if disappointed that he would not live up to expectations, 【No! You simply do not understand what this means!?】
【His accumulation is clearly already so profound, yet he still suppresses it at Asking Dao and does not break through; you simply do not understand what this means!】
Suppress?
Hmm... does Sect Leader Senior Uncle have one?
Ren Yidao's expression shifted slightly, not speaking the doubt in his heart.
If Sect Leader Senior Uncle were certain he could step into the Ascension Realm, he certainly would not deliberately suppress it.
But from the Demon God's perspective, he is indeed deliberately suppressing it, plotting something grand.
Who is right? Who is wrong?
Ren Yidao was still pondering, but the Demon God was simply unable to
【Must nip it in the bud! Absolutely cannot let him step into the Ascension Realm! Otherwise, the Human Race will produce another Tian Jiangjun, and the Demon Race will suffer a calamity again.】
Although he was very interested in the "Tian Jiangjun" the Demon God had inadvertently revealed, Ren Yidao knew he could not let Him continue to run wild.
He had to divert the Demon God's attention.
"That thing, did you get one thing wrong?"
While the Demon God was almost falling into madness, Ren Yidao spoke weakly, interrupting His train of thought:
"Is there a possibility that I am on the Human Race's side, and you telling me these things is completely useless."
In this life, the most I could be is a demon traitor; no matter how I think about it, it's impossible for me to be a human traitor.
【YOU!!!】
【You cold-blooded fellow, could it be that you wouldn't feel even the slightest bit of anger for the deaths of your compatriots!?】
"Sorry, I won't."
Ren Yidao walked into his Cave Abode, asking back in a relaxed tone:
"Rather, why do you naturally treat me as someone from the Demon Race?"
"Just because I am a demon?"
"Pfft." Ren Yidao scoffed, "Friend, that is extreme racism~"
Demon God:?
【You...】
"Don't 'you' me anymore. I didn't expose you to the Sect Leader just now; that can already be considered taking good care of you. Don't push your luck."
"I don't care if you are a Demon God or a Medicine God; it makes no difference to me."
The youth's voice was clear and bright, but the emotion contained within it made the Demon God fall silent.
Through the special state between the two, He could feel the youth's emotions more clearly.
He does not care.
The life and death of the Demon Race, he truly does not care about it at all.
He has no hatred for the Demon Race, but he also has no feelings for them.
If they die, they die; it has nothing to do with me.
"Don't think about influencing me anymore. Cooperating honestly is the right path, isn't it?"
"Don't forget, we already agreed on this during our transaction back then. Do you need me to help you recall it?"
Waiting for the Demon God to fall silent, Ren Yidao's mood took another sharp turn, and he said with a smile:
"Don't be discouraged. Perhaps you have just been locked up for too long and do not have a clear understanding of the world today."
"You think too highly of yourself, really thinking that the Demon Race cannot function without you."
"But is there a possibility that you are actually not as important as you think?"
"Look, you have disappeared for so many years, haven't they lived just fine? I haven't heard that the Demon Race has gone extinct, right?"
"The Human Race has such a heaven-gifted talent? Why do you think the Demon Race doesn't have one?"
PUA-ing an ignorant young girl is no great skill.
Being able to PUA an old demon who doesn't know how many years it has lived—that is true skill.
As for whether he could do it, Ren Yidao actually had no idea in his heart.
But he felt he could give it a try.
As long as he relied on the information gap between the Demon God and the outside world, controlling the information He knew to be only what he wanted Him to know, and creating an information cocoon... there should be room to maneuver in this matter.
【... Perhaps.】 The Demon God was silent for a long time, not knowing if He was truly bewitched by Ren Yidao or unwilling to continue arguing about this matter, and sighed.
【As long as you can keep your promise, I will no longer talk to you about these things.】
"That is only natural."
【Furthermore, my current state cannot fight against people. You should try your best not to appear in front of Heaven Realm cultivators for long periods.】
"Ah! This request, I'm afraid I can't do that."
【Hmm?】
Ren Yidao scratched his head and pointed at the Peak Master who had occupied his bed and was currently sleeping soundly.
"Look, there is one right here."
【She is...】 The Demon God did not react for a moment.
Who?
Who is this woman?
"Her? My Senior Sister who acts as my master in teaching me, the nominal Peak Master of Luoyue Peak."
The little tyrant of Divine Path Sect, the fox-raiser,
Hmm, perhaps I could add "bedfellow" as well.
【...】
In the dark space, the soul of the Demon God, having transformed into a white fox, narrowed its eyes, confidently observing the woman who was sleeping soundly.
Could it be that he hasn't noticed?
Should I mock him a bit?
No.
This might be an opportunity...
But before it could speak, Ren Yidao suddenly said:
"Alright, the Garden Baby should go to sleep now."
【Wait a moment! I have...】
Ren Yidao brushed his right hand lightly over his left, directly cutting off the Demon God's perception of the outside world.
What comes next might be a bit unsuitable for children, so you had better not watch anymore.
"Ren is about to feed the Demon with his own body!"
After thinking for a moment, Ren Yidao picked several Dharma Artifacts that had already been processed off the wall.
"Hmm, I'll use these. I hope they can bind this Demon."
Bind!
"Hmm? Mmph!?"
The next day.
The exhausted Master Ren finally pushed open the great door of the Cave Abode, looked at the newly risen morning sun, and tears of non-existent happiness flowed from the corners of his eyes.
"Is the night really this long?"
"Also, I remember when I came back yesterday, it seemed to be just past noon, right?"
Sure enough, for the sake of this home, I really have sacrificed too much.
A fox spirit... is not easy to be!
"Jing Zhouwang is asleep again. I truly envy her sleep quality; if only she could share some with me."
Stretching vigorously, Ren Yidao walked to the peak with his waist hunched and sat cross-legged at the highest point.
"A lot of Sin Karma has been cleared away again. This should last for about half a year, right?"
The two's interaction yesterday was not just because of missing each other after a short separation; that was a reason, but it was mostly for serious business.
Feeding the Demon with one's body is not just empty talk.
Ren Yidao was truly using his own Merit to offset the Sin Karma on Senior Sister.
The hardship of this, only he alone knows.
Thinking this, Ren Yidao suddenly blinked his eyes.
Eh?
Why does this sound so strange?
"Hmm, why does it sound like an Evil Dao practitioner swindling female benefactors by 'bestowing light'?"
Oh no, have I become an Evil Dao practitioner?
After letting his thoughts wander like this for a while, Ren Yidao thought of the small matter he had forgotten yesterday.
"That girl, has she woken up yet?"
After dumping Shi Xiaoxiao at Lingxu Peak, Ren Yidao hadn't paid any more attention to her. He had originally planned to go take a look in the afternoon, but he ended up being entangled by Jing Laomo and couldn't get away.
"I'll go take a look; consider it leaving behind a good connection."
Since there was nothing else to do anyway, he also happened to need to visit Senior Sister Duan Hong and give Junior Martial Nephew Duan a little bit of a dividend.
"After leaving Lingxu Peak, I will set off."
Set off... to the Eastern Wasteland.
This time returning to the sect, Ren Yidao did not intend to stay in Divine Path Sect for a long time.
The time agreed upon with Senior Sister was one year, but in his heart, Ren Yidao had planned a psychological expectation of only half a year for himself.
Half a year!
Find clues in the Eastern Wasteland within half a year, and then think about what comes next.
Time is precious, so I won't waste any more on subduing demons...
After having been to Wentian, Ren Yidao had to admit one thing: cultivation within the sect was indeed not very suitable for him.
He had too many secrets; within the sect, he was indeed tied hand and foot, needing to be careful everywhere.
Although his fellow sect members were not enemies, and Ren Yidao didn't mind exposing a small portion, some secrets were better known by fewer people.
Some secrets, just knowing them is a hazard in itself.
He had arrested the runaway Peak Master so many times in the past that Ren Yidao could walk the path from Luoyue Peak to Lingxu Peak with his eyes closed.
Soon, Lingxu Peak entered Ren Yidao's field of vision.
"Eh? That is..."
And when Ren Yidao arrived at Lingxu Peak, before he could even notify the disciples, he saw the secondary target of this trip.
Shi Xiaoxiao and Li Yiyi were currently standing at the foot of Lingxu Peak.
However, the situation before them seemed somewhat different from the touching reunion he had imagined.
The lovelorn couple who had experienced life-and-death trials were not embracing and weeping; instead, one side was silent, and the other was agitated.
"Oh?"
Could it be!!?
After catching the scent of gossip, Ren Yidao did not reveal himself immediately to avoid alerting the prey, instead flashing into the distant woods to hide.
Hiding in the woods, he focused his hearing to its limit and successfully heard the conversation between the two in the distance.
Shi Xiaoxiao: "You should go."
Li Yiyi: "I won't go!"
"... You should go."
"I won't go!!!"
Good, good, good!
Something is going on!
And it seems to be a big scoop!
Whose problem is it?
After I left yesterday, what happened between these two?
Huhu Holmes is very curious about this.
Just as Ren Yidao began to let his imagination run wild, Li Yiyi suddenly couldn't hold it in anymore.
He stepped forward, grabbed Shi Xiaoxiao by the shoulders, and shouted:
"Xiao Xiao! Have you really forgotten even me?"
Ren Yidao:?
Over there, Li Yiyi had an expression as if he were about to cry, explaining anxiously:
"I, I am Yiyi!"
"You cannot forget me—"
Ren Yidao poked his head out from the woods, a big question mark appearing above his head.
Huh?
Huhu tilted his head, watching the farce over there, with only one thought in his mind:
"What are you doing?"
"Are you two filming a Korean drama?"
The weather is bad and the flu is rampant; everyone, please take care and stay protected!!!
