Demon King's Repayment - chapter 192

The red sun crossed the top of the mountain, but the warm sunlight was like a God of death that was about to take his life, driving the cold to climb up his limbs. The ropes that bound his wrists and ankles began to tighten slightly, and his body was covered with various old and new wounds. Under such pulling, the torture that belonged to him really began under the sun.

Shi Fu knew that his life was coming to an end.

He looked at the sky above his head. All the swaying white pole branches and clouds in the sky, surrounded by countless clansmen holding sharp weapons, everyone looked indignant.

That may be his last chance to see the sky.

Fortunately, Ah Jun escaped smoothly. 

I’m sorry, Xiao Jun. From now on, your brother can no longer protect you. I hope you take care of yourself.

“Do you regret betraying your race for a stranger?” Lu Junshou’s face appeared beside him, looking down at him with a look of anger and disgust.

Shi Fu sneered, “A person like me will die sooner or later anyway. Instead of dying in the colosseum for your entertainment, it’s better to help someone who truly shows kindness to me.”

Lu Junshou’s face became ugly. The crowd of onlookers shouted-

“B*stard, you dare to argue? Kill him!”

“Kill him, kill him! Kill the traitor!”

“Traitor, sinner, kill him!”

“You idiot, do you know what you did?” Lu Junshou stepped on the altar, stretched out his hand and pinched Shi Fu’s neck. On the pimple-covered face, his eyes suddenly shrank, “Because of your stupid behavior, the tree God has completely disconnected from us since last night. No matter how much I pray, I can’t hear his voice.”

“Pray for what? Pray forever to be a bird in a cage, a flower in a vase? Pray to imprison an innocent outsider to continue the days of relying on God’s rewards?” Shi Fu laid on his back on the altar. He timidly looked directly at Lu Junshou, “For hundreds of years, most of the people who live here have not dared to step out of this small canyon. They don’t even know what the outside world looks like.”

Lu Junshou tightened his fingers, looked at the bloodshot face of the boy he had abused, and coughed in pain, “Are you impatient to die? If the punishment of the split still can’t make you repent, I will let you know how much pain thousands of species in this world are going through.”

“Stop, let him go,” a clear female voice passed through the crowd and sounded clearly.

Surrounded by the altar, the ferocious half-humans turned their faces in unison. They quickly made way for a road, and at the other end of the road stood a young girl, who was walking toward the rising sun.

Lu Junshou opened his mouth and stood up in surprise. He wondered why Yuan Xiang, who had escaped, would come back on her own initiative.

“Let him go, I’m back,” Yuan Xiang approached the heavily guarded altar by herself, raised her head and spoke to the murderer on the altar.

Lu Junshou couldn’t help but stick out a thin tongue and then put it back. This was a reaction when he was excited. In the past, he always tried his best to restrain himself and didn’t want others to see him like that, but he couldn’t bear it any longer.

“No, I won’t believe your words anymore.” He stood on the edge of the altar, squinted at Yuan Xiang, raised a short-chain silver spear in his hand, and pressed it against Shi Fu’s chest, “If you want him to live… promise me one thing.”

Shi Fu endured the severe pain, turned his head to look at Yuan Xiang, shook his head reluctantly, and made a look that told her to leave immediately.

Yuan Xiang didn’t look at him, she just said calmly, “Since I’m back, of course I want him to live.”

She even smiled at Lu Junshou, soothing the tense atmosphere, “However, I also met this person by chance, and I can come back to talk to you. I have done my best. If he dies, or if your demands are too much, then we can forget it.”

At that time, the two sides negotiated, and what each of them speculated was the opponent’s bottom line. Therefore, even if she wanted to save Shi Fu earlier, Yuan Xiang could only try to pretend that she didn’t care much.

Lu Junshou stared at Yuan Xiang for a long time, and suddenly his wrist moved, and the sharp point of the spear plunged into the flesh on the altar, causing the seriously injured young man to groan uncontrollably.

The executioner on the top showed a defiant look and twisted the long spear in his hand.

Yuan Xiang bit her red lips and endured, and finally interrupted his cruel behavior, “Okay, if you want me to do anything, I agree.

“Do you understand?” Lu Junshou showed a triumphant smile, “Xiang’er, you don’t have to be so wronged. We love you sincerely. If you stay in Chishi Town, we will serve you clothes and food, and a golden house and jade bed for you. Every day, you just need to choose a few gentlemen you like and make a good relationship with them. You can sing every day, seek joy every night, and live like a queen. In the future, the town will be full of your descendants. You will be respected and admired. You will be the real queen of Chishi Town. Isn’t this the happiest day for a woman, isn’t it a fairy-like life?

“It’s really good.” Yuan Xiang said word by word , “I have agreed, as long as you let him go, I will stay in Chishi Town. “

Lu Junshou took out the silver spear that was in front of Shi Fu’s chest when it was plunged into it, and a string of bright red blood dripped from the tip of the spear.

Shi Fu was so weak that he could not make a sound. He just looked at Yuan Xiang, his pale lips parted slightly, and he repeated with his mouth, “Go, go!”

But Yuan Xiang refused to look at him.

“I didn’t know before that you are so powerful, yet you can deceive people like that.” Lu Junshou said with a smile on his pimple-covered face, “Of course now I don’t dare to trust Xiang’er easily.”

He squatted down beside Shi Fu and pulled the rope around his neck, “Did you see that? This kind of rope shrinks very quickly in the sun. Within a day, this person will be torn apart.”

He stopped there. After a moment, he waited to see the bewildered reaction of the young girl.

But Yuan Xiang just looked at him coldly, as if she expected that he would take the initiative to speak.

Lu Junshou was a little disappointed. He stood up and pointed at the townspeople surrounding him, “There are so many people here. Xiang’er, you just need to choose three gentlemen you like, and you will save the life of this person.”
