Chapter 675 Chowhound (2/2)

Jing Shu was surprised by Shen Lian's technique. She stopped crying and asked him, ”Why did you swallow my tears?”

As Shen Lian knew he had caused her troubles, he did not argue with her. After all, Jing Shu was involved in the karma once she was informed of this secret. Once the connoisseurs of Yuxu Palace and Bajing Palace knew about Shen Lian's secret, they would be able to investigate the antecedents. Therefore, Jing Shu would be inevitably related to this complication.

Jing Shu also knew that even if she betrayed Shen Lian and turned to Bajing Palace and Yuxu Palace, they would not be grateful. After all, if she had done so, it only meant that both palaces were indebted to a demon like her. Yuxu Palace had always existed as a noble and solitary place. They do not fear or respect others, not to mention Bajing Palace. The fame of the Jie Order in those years was even termed by the people of Yuxu Palace as 'A unified living group of all animals and insects, regardless of its appearances'.

Although she was a Kunpeng, she was not compatible to the noble disciples of the Jie Order. In fact, she was way below their status. After all, no matter how powerful the founding master of Kunpeng was, he could never manage to compete against Daoist Master Shangqing. Given that they were disciples of their founding masters, her status was inadvertently inferior to the disciples of the Daoist.

Thus, if Jing Shu were to go to Yuxu Palace and Bajing Palace, it would be a suicidal decision.

As Shen Lian did not argue with her, she thought that he was actually a decent man. She calmed her state of mind and realized that Shen Lian's statements were rational. Complaints and worries would not alter the current situation anyway.

Hence, she appeared more composed, sighed and said, ”Forget about it, I acknowledge my misfortunes. This is my own problem. I could have enjoyed my life in Palace Yaoshi. It was my decision to come out of that palace. Now that troubles have occurred, I only have myself to blame.”

Shen Lian said, ”Would you want me to escort you to Palace Yaoshi? The Demon Master of Kunpeng may protect you.”

Jing Shu shook her head and said, ”Palace Yaoshi is concealed. I will not be able to return unless this tragedy of the world is over,” Her temper faded as fast as it came. After she finished speaking, she told Shen Lian sweetly, ”You do have some conscience. How about this? I really desire to taste some dragon meat. I will not blame you if you capture that Yinglong for me.”

Shen Lian was speechless. He had met many kinds of figures in his life. Nevertheless, it was his first time meeting a chowhound like Jing Shu.

He said, ”There is some karma between me and the Xia Kingdom. Capturing Yinglong should not be a difficult task.”

Jing Shu said, ”We have an agreement then. You cannot go against your own words. Let us capture it right now.”

Shen Lian said, ”I think you should let me refine Bi You Palace first. I would like to bring it back to Da Zhou.”

After Jing Shu listened to him, she stopped urging and said admirably, ”This is the place of enlightenment of Daoist Master Shangqing. You had actually obtained it. If I had a Daoist Palace, even the Seven Great Demon Kings would be defeated by me.”

She then continued, ”No, it should me Six Great Demon Kings.” After all, she idolized the Winning Buddha. If she had defeated Seven Great Demon Kings, it would mean that she despised his ability. This could not happen.

Shen Lian found Jing Shu more likable due to her candid responses. No matter what happened to Bei Mingzi, Jing Shu was truly a decent person.

As he thought of these, he also dissociated his spirit to inform Kui Li to return.
