Chapter 134 Mount Chui Ping (2/2)

He only heard Shen Lian quietly asked him, ”Who is your king?” His tone was not heavy but the demon automatically answered, ”The king is the king. This Mount Chui Ping is under her rule.”

”She sounds formidable. How about this, why don’t you bring me to meet this king of yours. I have a matter to ask her,” Shen Lian asked with mirth. The Water Deer Demon felt that there was no good intention behind that smile.

He asked hesitantly, ”What would you ask my king?”

”I will ask later.” Shen Lian shook his head, his look suggests he did not want to ask.

The Water Deer Demon said, ”Let me tell you, my king is really formidable. It would be your death when you meet her.”

Shen Lian contemplated the Water Deer Demon with delight, he responded, ”You still have this bit of loyalty but once you’re dead, what use is there for this loyalty? Your king would not even shed a tear for you.” Demons were indifferent to feelings, especially demons who have cultivated to the stage of demon king. Which of them did not go through great bloodshed? Their hearts had hardened like stone and even though they look kind on the outside, their actual nature were quite unconcerned.

Take Jingqing for example, even though he had some humanity in him, by nature, he was still indifferent. Even though it could also be his snake nature, but his experience and upbringing played a role too.

Even though he knew his king was formidable, he did not want to cause trouble for the king. Shen Lian was a trouble. He did not think Shen Lian had seen through his thoughts. There was nothing superior about it. After all, to a demon, there was no point in using the brain to resolve matters that a fist cannot. Now that he had conversed a little more with Shen Lian, he was not that afraid of Shen Lian anymore. With some pride he responded, ”I am of greatest importance to my king. You would not understand.” The look in his eyes were full of respect.

Shen Lian quietly warned, ”You will end up like those rocks if you do not bring me to her.” Shen Lian was by the side of the rocks in the blink of an eye. He did not pulled the fork out but with a wave of purple stream of air from his hands landing on top of the rock, the rocks were rendered to a pile of mushy soil with the fork lying inside it.

The Water Deer Demon was scared and speechless, as though imagining himself becoming a pile of meat grindings. Shen Lian then followed nonchalantly, ”Are we not moving?”

Of course, Shen Lian did not have the thought of convincing the Water Deer Demon to betray his master. He only thought that this demon was dumb and silly but he also had a simple honesty to him. He spoke a few more sentences with him because his interest was piqued. Even the celestial beings would wandered through the mortal world and take liberties with the mortal. It was a kind of delight.

Shen Lian did not think that celestial beings had to be cold and merciless, ignoring everything and focus solely on the pursuit of Dao. People were alive because of the excitement of this world, this was why they could not bear to die. There was no difference between a rock on the mountain and someone who was old fashion and inflexible. There were many joys in the many beings of this universe. Even a red leaf flying within the mountains, as long as one focuses on the veins of the leaf, they could also discover many interesting things about it.

Without waiting for the Water Deer Demon to yield, an ominous voice scolded from above, ”You’ve been ordered to capture a human, why are you still dilly dallying since you’ve already gotten the human? And you still haven’t tied him up.”

The voice from the skies above. There was an eagle in the sky, it was really burly as it circled above both the demon and human. With its wings spread, a shadow loomed over both their heads, like a dark cloud in the sky.

This eagle was a demon and his mana was quite powerful.

The eagle quickly landed on the ground and turned into a monster with the head of an eagle and the body of a human. He stared at Shen Lian and nodded his head in satisfaction, ”This one doesn’t look bad, he’s actually quite fresh and tender.”
