Chapter 1429: The Complexity of Human Hearts

Qingji's expression was complex; having seen too much and experienced too many things, she simply had an instinctive distrust of humans.

"Yes, you have no ill intent, you just want to use me. In our clan, how many times have I been used?" Black Tiger looked up at the sky and sighed slightly: "So you don't need to say anything more, I understand it all."

Qingji did not know what to say. In the past, she had indeed used Black Tiger, and among their group of demons, there were no shortage of people who used him.

Every time, Black Tiger would fall into a trap and be used as a tool by others. Everyone thought he was unaware of these things, but who would have known that he was perfectly clear about it all? He was not a fool; he knew exactly who was good to him and who was using him.

"I know, I was wrong in the past, I'm sorry." Qingji bowed slightly to him: "If I unintentionally hurt you in the past, I apologize now, but for now..." Qingji raised her head: "I think we still need to be more united. After all, the world we are going to is the Human World, which is different from the world we stayed in before."

Black Tiger did not speak. He remained in Silence for a long time before saying: "I know, you don't need to say much. When it is time to act, I will certainly act without hesitation. But if you want me to be used endlessly like before, I'm afraid that won't be so easy, so you should be clear about this in your heart."

"Good, as long as I have your word, I can rest easy." Qingji breathed a slight sigh of relief, nodded, and said: "Don't worry, I won't make the same mistakes again."

Black Tiger stopped speaking and walked forward.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew over. An advertising sign on a storefront by the street suddenly swayed with the wind, and then, with a 'whoosh', a huge advertising sign flew down from above. Beneath the sign, a young woman pushing a baby carriage had no idea what was happening.

A flash of sharp light appeared in Black Tiger's eyes. His figure flickered, turning into a blur as he blocked the path in front of the mother and child. With a 'bang', the huge advertising sign smashed down from above, landing heavily on his body.

"I'm fine." Black Tiger grinned, revealing an honest and simple expression. He was indeed fine; he was a bull by nature, and his body was extremely sturdy.

Moreover, his Demon Power was not low. In other words, although this advertising sign was heavy, it was nothing to the demon race; he could completely withstand it.

"Are you really okay?" The young woman looked at Black Tiger, still shaken. She could not believe that someone could be hit by a hundreds-of-pounds advertising sign and be completely fine, but looking at Black Tiger before her, he truly did not look like he was hurt. The expression on her face changed.

"Really, I'm fine. Do I look like I'm hurt? Hurry home, your child is truly cute." Black Tiger said with a smile, and teased the child in her arms.

Seeing that Black Tiger really did not look like he was hurt, the young woman finally set her mind at ease. She bowed slightly to Black Tiger, thanked him repeatedly, and then left with her child.

After she left, Qingji walked up and glanced at Black Tiger: "You really are meddling in other people's business. Have you forgotten the laws of our Demon Realm in the Human World? Meddle less in the affairs of ordinary people, otherwise, it might bring you some trouble."

"I don't care about any laws or whatever. But since I encountered the situation, if I didn't reach out to help her, my conscience wouldn't allow it." Black Tiger shook his head slightly and said: "And remember, we are no longer who we were before. Our current status is that of Great Demons serving in the Demon Department, understand?"

"So all that I said just now was like playing the lute to a cow?" Qingji could not help but glare at Black Tiger, showing a helpless and angry look.

"You don't have to say it, I am a bull by nature." Black Tiger spread his hands helplessly: "So you saying you were playing the lute to a cow is actually not wrong at all."

"You... you really are impossible." Qingji stomped her foot in anger and then said: "With your temperament, if you were alone in the Human World, you would really suffer. Forget it, I'll just follow you, so you don't get taken advantage of."

"You were planning to leave, weren't you?" Black Tiger looked at Qingji and could not help but sigh.

Although he was simple and honest, he knew that Qingji was calculating. When she originally agreed to come to the Demon Department, she definitely had her own ideas, but after following Chen Yu for a few days, she realized that the Demon Department was not what she had imagined, so she wanted to back out.

But he did not know what reason had made her change her mind. If she told him that she had a soft heart, Black Tiger would not believe it for a second. Black Tiger knew exactly how deep this woman's schemes were.

"Yes, after all, this is not where we were born and raised, so I don't feel safe here." Qingji shook her head slightly: "But looking at you now, you are likely going to stay in the Demon Department and do things for humans. But I always feel that with your personality, you will definitely suffer."

"I can't bear to watch you suffer here alone, so I think I'll just stay with you." Qingji sighed.

Black Tiger stared at Qingji. His gaze made Qingji feel somewhat bewildered, and she could not help but say speechlessly: "Why are you looking at me?"

"Honestly, I don't know which of your words are true and which are false anymore." Black Tiger gave a bitter smile: "But thank you anyway for being willing to stay with me. No matter what, this is better than the people who only knew how to use me before."

Qingji lowered her head and did not speak: "You're right, I used you in the past too."

"I know, but it doesn't matter, it's all in the past." Black Tiger sighed slightly: "Let's just consider it as helping each other. What use or no use? Talking about that is being too much of a stranger."

Qingji raised her head, glared at Black Tiger, and could not help but burst into laughter. Then she said: "Let's go. You were just hit by an advertising sign and yet you are completely fine; that is not something an ordinary person can do. If some busybody calls the police later, it will be trouble."

"Right, right, let's go. In the Human World, we must follow their rules. This is truly troublesome; if we reveal our abilities, they will think we possess superpowers." Black Tiger nodded repeatedly, and as he spoke, he prepared to leave with Qingji.

But just at this moment, both of them furrowed their brows slightly and could not help but look up. The space ahead was empty, but a solemn Buddha Power was emanating from the front.

For demons, what they feared most was this kind of powerful Buddha-Dao energy, because this power had a great restraining effect on them.

And the aura coming from ahead could only be emitted by a monk who had achieved success in his cultivation, what is known as an eminent monk.
