Demon King's Repayment - chapter 140

If it weren’t for communicating with thoughts, how could Yuan Xiang know how many unquenchable worries were under these short words?

“Anan, do you know why demons are obviously stronger than humans, but humans are gradually becoming the masters of this world?”

“Why?”

“Because we humans do not only rely on force to solve all problems. Sometimes when our opponent has more strength, we use various methods, such as negotiation, strategy, or fraud. In short, there is not only one way to solve it.” She had already walked to the familiar door.

The old man who led the way stretched his hand to open the door and stood still on the spot without saying a word.

When she came the previous time, Dushuo stood in that position.

“Master Miao is not a good person, don’t come here again after you leave.”

That was what Dushuo said at the time.

“I’m going in, Nan He,” Yuan Xiang finished the last sentence in her mind, lifted her foot through the barrier and entered the place.

Master Miao was still sitting in his original position. He raised his hand and a vixen with a human face and snake body walked over to Yuan Xiang to serve tea.

“Did the trip go smoothly to the Great Wall?” Master Miao on the main seat said warmly.

Yuan Xiang looked up at the man. Last time they met, he regarded himself as a friend of her Shifu, taught the arrays and gave gifts of spirit jade. Although they had very different concepts, Yuan Xiang still regarded him as a senior in Taoism.

But after knowing his indiscriminate killing and cruelty, Yuan Xiang’s heart had nothing but hatred for this person. She was calm on the surface, showing the quality of business negotiation back then, with a smile, preventing the enemy from seeing the slightest clue.

“It was unexpected, but it was successful after all,” Yuan Xiang even gave him the beef jerky purchased from outside the Great Wall as a gift and at the same time told the story of her northwest adventure.

“This is a special product, I brought it to you for a fresh taste.”

Although it wasn’t a precious gift, Master Miao seemed a little happy and motioned to Hao Han who was behind him to take it.

“It’s just a small matter for mortals. But it’s worth your time and travel all the way. At your age, you should do more important things that could make you famous, so that you can leave your prestige on the rivers and lakes (martial world) and build a reputation.”

“Since I have learned the techniques from my Shifu, I always wanted to use them. Regardless of whether the matter was big or small, I feel happy.”

“You are a bit interesting, like your Shifu,” the corner of Master Miao had a rare smile.

“Otherwise, how could I be my Shifu’s apprentice? Shifu was very keen on helping people back then and worked tirelessly to solve problems for the neighbors. I can’t count how many people he helped.”

Master Miao’s smile narrowed, “Yu Shao had always been like that.”

“Yes.” Yuan Xiang said, “Shifu, although he was a demon, he liked humans very much. Otherwise, he would not accept me as an apprentice and leaves his Pisces array to me.”

Master Miao pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Yuan Xiang quietly looked at the powerful head teacher. He had been famous for a long time but still looked well-proportioned. Except for looking a little thin, he looked almost like a young man. It could be seen that he had a small achievement in Taoism. First glimpse of the secret of heaven, practiced the way of longevity.

“Pisces array,” Master Miao repeated that word, remembering something in his heart and pondering for a moment before saying to Yuan Xiang, “I have one issue and there has been no suitable person to do it. Thinking about it now, you are the most suitable person.”

“Master, you are a powerful senior, what can I do?”

“In Sirius Mountain, there is a blue dragon who returns home every sixty years. This year coincides with his return date. This dragon has a water spirit orb, with which you can enter the deep sea. I want to use this pearl.”

“Predecessor, if you want to go into the water, just do a water avoidance trick. Why do you need to toss like that and grab food from the dragon’s mouth?”

“You live inland and you don’t know that at the bottom of the sea, there are mountains, rivers, abysses and valleys. The depths of them are tens of thousands of miles. Those of us who are cultivators, if they go on unsuspectingly, they will be crushed into meat in an instant. Therefore, only the Water Spirit Orb can be used.”

“Why are you going to such a deep seabed?”

“You don’t need to know this, you only need to know that this pearl is very important to me. If you could help me get this pearl, I can give you whatever reward you want.”

Yuan Xiang was overjoyed. That was an opportunity. Negotiations could only be carried out easily when the other party also asked something from her. She suppressed the emotions in her heart, did not show anything on her face, but shook her head repeatedly, “I will not go no matter how much you give. It is a dragon. Master, aren’t you afraid that I will return without success if I go? My life is not enough for some even to stuff their teeth.”

“No, you are not ordinary. You are Yu Yao’s apprentice. Dragon is the king of the aquatic clan and Kunpeng (mythological beast) the best. If you offend him a bit, he will never take your life. Besides, you still have the Pisces array to protect you. And you can always escape for your life. No matter what, I will give you the magic weapon, it will be successful.”

Yuan Xiang secretly complained about the man. Dragon’s Den, the lair of the ancient great demon, how could it be as easy as he said? For what he wanted, the man didn’t care about others at all.

She pretended that she didn’t know the matter, tilted her head innocently and thought about it and finally reluctantly said, “Since it’s not difficult, then I’ll try it. But before I go, I want to ask the master for something.”
