Chapter 898 (1/2)

The carnival of demons was about to begin upon the encroaching darkness.

The human traffickers had no idea how dangerous the child that they had with them was.

All they wanted to do now was to find an inn where they could check in without the registration of an ident.i.ty card. They could then order delivery, have a proper meal, and take a good rest. However, they would need to drug these two goods before they split up and acted separately.

However, they did not expect that the woman with Baili Shangxie in her arms suddenly seemed possessed when they entered the room. A cloud of dark mist shrouded her face, and seemed to seep into her body, little by little.

“Ah! ” The excruciating pain caused the woman to throw Baili Shangxie away immediately.

Her eyes were fixed on the child, as if she had something to say, but it was too late. The dark mist had penetrated her eyes and sucked the life out of her completely.

There were hardly any warning signs before her death. In a mere second, she had collapsed onto the ground, stiff and lifeless!

Baili Shangxie was standing right in front of her. His black, short hair was still sticking up as he had just woken up and his expression was extremely cool. Licking his thin lips in a cruel and bloodthirsty manner, he smirked evilly as though unsatisfied with the taste of something.

The woman’s shrieks caught everyone’s attention, which was why the human traffickers failed to notice Baili Shangxie’s abnormality.

On the other hand, Little Qingchen was awakened by the noise. As he raised his small hands to rub his large eyes, he turned his head to look at Baili Shangxie, who was a child as well. His eyebrow furrowed, as he finally understood Baili Shangxie’s true ident.i.ty. He was a soul-devouring demon.

However, he had never seen a demon of his age before.

The demons would not usually show itself under normal circ.u.mstances.

Over the years, they had perfectly blended into human life and settled well, just like the Blood Tribe.

In fact, they lived more extravagantly and lavishly than humans, as most of them were from the n.o.ble families of various countries. The more elegant they were, the more it would conform to their n.o.bility.

Aesthetics was said to be the only thing that the demons would pursue in life.

Even when they ate, they would have a smile on their face, decorous and mannerly without the slightest rudeness.

Baili Shangxie in front of him was the same as well. This made Little Qingchen feel extremely curious and really wanted to bring him home to raise.

However, he was not sure if Beauty Wei Wei would agree to let him keep a little demon around.

She would allow me, right?

Little Qingchen rubbed his pet.i.te face again, the way he did it resembled a small squirrel. Every time he woke up, he would be slightly dazed and could only completely regain his senses after blinking his huge eyes a few times. Now was not the time to think about demon-raising issues, but to stop this inhuman demon from feasting.

He stretched out his small hand and grabbed Baili Shangxie’s wrist and shook his head twice, it was a rather cute expression.

Baili Shangxie was not full yet, but after seeing his self-proclaimed little sidekick awake, he took a moment to show his concern and said, “Where did you buy the chocolate cake that you’re eating?”

It seemed that his concern was for the chocolate cake, instead of his little sidekick.

The mention of the chocolate cake had strengthened Little Qingchen’s decision of not letting these human traffickers be killed completely. In spite of that, it did not affect his conversation with the little demon, who looked slightly older than him. He replied, “I didn’t buy it. My mother made it for me.”

“Oh.” Baili Shangxie had lived in the modern era for quite some time, but he had never felt the urge to look for his mother, until now. This feeling became even more intense, especially when Little Qingchen said that his mother made the chocolate cake for him. The little demon seemed slightly lonely when he heard the response.

Of course, Baili Shangxie’s way of expressing his loneliness was very different. As he raised his eyelids and squinted his big, crimson eyes, he walked toward another man. It appeared that he was about to have his next meal.

Like a flash, Little Qingchen swiftly blocked in front of him. His expression was lovely, as he whispered in his ears, “We must keep them, so that their leaders can be wiped out too.”

As soon as Little Qingchen reminded him, Baili Shangxie recalled the piece of chocolate cake that he did not manage to grab. His eyes instantly filled with malice and his voice was cool, as he uttered, “I see.” He would keep them alive indeed, but not for long definitely.

Under such circ.u.mstances, the human traffickers were too exhausted to bother what the two little ones were talking about.

They were scared to death now.

The scene just now was beyond their common knowledge and understanding.

The muscular man reached out his shaky hand, to check whether the woman on the ground was still breathing.

Another woman immediately pulled his hand back and whispered angrily, “Don’t touch her! It’s not clean! It must be something dirty in this inn! It must be!”
