C33 (2/2)

With his divine sense, he could feel that the people walking in and out of the streets didn't even need to be mortal. Cultivators didn't have a higher cultivation level than Scarlet Cores, so trying to get a Scarlet Core was just asking for trouble.

The sky had caved in, and there was a tall man holding it up. As the target of attention, Chi Dan was never worried about anyone plotting against him.

Since its birth, it had fought over spirit stones, bullied its companions, taught thugs a lesson, and scared away hooligans. Only it had bullied people, so no one had been able to bully it yet.

If it really had to deal with a problem, it would still have an immortal master to help it take care of the aftermath.

The crowd dispersed, gathering and dispersing. The people that stayed behind were either here to watch the show or to make plans for themselves. Its partner was never able to attract customers, so it could not bear to watch any longer.

”Idiot, this won't do!”

Pulling customers was a hard job. It had been ten years, and Tian Ci had long gotten used to it.

For him and Little Dan to have a meal together, for a place to settle down and desperately earn money from customers, Little Dan would never thank him, but he actually called himself a fool. He felt very displeased.

”If you're capable, come at me!”

Every time he saw his partner pulling customers, Chi Dan felt that it was especially interesting. He also wanted to follow his partner pulling customers together.

Once, passing through a small town, it did the same thing, scaring everyone away.

Later on, at the urging of its partners, it stopped trying to recruit customers and stayed at the back, watching with a cold eye, which made it feel quite relaxed.

”It doesn't matter who it is. Who's afraid of who?”

”Brat, learn well!”

If they didn't get a customer, and Little Dan angered him again, and Heaven's Gift was just saying some infuriating words, he didn't really want Little Dan to recruit customers. After all, Little Dan always scared off customers.

Angry words?

Chi Dan did not care about whether his partner was angry or not, as he paced back and forth in the crowd, already beginning to look for the right customers.

”It …”

”It can talk?”

”Is it a demon king?”

The conversation between Tian Ci and Chi Dan did not hide anything from the crowd. The spirit beasts could talk, and everyone could guess Chi Dan's identity as the ”Demon King” almost at the same time.

Demonic beasts were divided into five ranks. As long as a demonic beast reached the realm of a Demon King, it could take human form and understand the human language.

Demi-humans had always been arrogant and looked down on humans. Thus, it was normal for them not to want to become adults.

Although the Scarlet Core didn't transform into a human form, it could speak the human tongue. Everyone had reason to believe that it was a Demonic Lord.

When those cultivators with impure minds learned of Chi Dan's identity as the ”Demon King”, and then thought of the idea of plotting against the Demon King, their hearts turned cold and their heads broke out in cold sweat. As if they had seen a ghost, they turned around and ran away, not daring to delay in the slightest.

In the city, there were many streets and alleys filled with low level spirit beasts. The mortals had seen many of them, but they had never seen one before. Only the legendary Demon King existed.

The Demon King had appeared within the human race to avoid causing trouble. He appeared almost as a human, so even if a mortal saw him, they would definitely not be able to recognize him.

Mortals had been with cultivators for a long time, so they had some understanding of spirit beasts. Seeing that Chi Dan was able to speak, they guessed at his identity and didn't dare to stay behind to watch the show.

As they walked in a circle, those who had their own plans and mortals all turned around and fled. There were even some cowardly cultivators who came to watch the show who also followed them.

Fortunately, there were four or five cultivators who were bold enough to stay behind out of curiosity. In the distance, there were still a few pedestrians who had yet to leave.

Otherwise, there was really no place for him to put down Chi Dan's old face.

”Haha …”

”Aren't you so arrogant? You're really going to die from laughter!”

His method was rather old-fashioned, and it attracted quite a few onlookers. Little Dan only had to walk once before almost all the pedestrians had already left.

When he thought about Little Dan's earlier expression and then looked at the current Little Dan, the gloominess in Heaven's Gift's heart vanished completely. He was in a great mood and couldn't help but take pleasure in Little Dan's misfortune.

”What's so funny?”

”There are still a few people left!”

In the past, the scenes of people crossing the city and closing doors on all the streets and alleys had been played out no less than dozens of times.

At first, Chi Dan felt that he had the power to intimidate and was very proud of himself. But later, every time he spoke, he would scare everyone away and he would begin to feel depressed.

However, this was the first time he had spoken to anyone since he arrived in the city. He was truly happy, ignoring his companions, and ran towards one of them.

”Little brother, please wait!”

”I can see your face. Dark clouds cover the sky, and within three days, there will be a bloody disaster!”

”However, little brother, you don't have to worry. My immortal master's mana is unparalleled and omnipotent. As long as you are willing to ask immortal master to guide you, you will definitely be able to turn the situation around!”

That was the ”Monster King” that everyone feared, yet he actually called his little brother. The people who were called opened their mouths wide, and simply didn't dare to believe their own ears.

However, Chi Dan's next words also frightened the man quite a bit. He let out a scream, turned around, and ran away.

”Ah …”
