Demon King's Repayment - chapter 271

The fish went to a high platform.

Yuan Xiang followed and went up several layers of winding white jade steps. At the top of the steps was a terrace filled with jade and masonry. There were people on the terrace and the voice of talking came.

The demon’s hearing was very keen, Yuan Xiang did not dare to go closer. She hid behind a pillar under the terrace, took off the ring she was wearing on her hand, and slightly cast a spell to enlarge the ring. The situation on the terrace appeared in the ring.

On the terrace, a middle-aged man in a white robe was suppressed by the array and could not move in it.

The big black fish swayed in front of him, and threw a human soul in front of him.

“Eat it,” the demon’s unique voice sounded.

The man in white who was restricted from moving gave a wry smile, “Dan Luo, I am a human being. Even if I have a way to continue my cultivation by devouring my own kind, I will never do so. Why don’t you understand?”

Yuan Xiang opened her mouth in surprise. The middle-aged man became more familiar to her, and she realized that he was like Su Bai in middle age. It was just that she had just separated from him not long ago, how could his appearance become so much younger from the old man?

The black fish circled the pillar in the air, suddenly transformed into a human form, dressed in black, with narrow red eyebrows.

He didn’t want to talk too much, grabbed the plain collar with one hand, and lit up the soul with the other hand. He would refine the poor human soul regardless and force him to his friend.

“Ag Luo!” Su Bai cllaed.

“Su Bai, even if it’s you, you can’t be too much.” He Danluo’s eyes narrowed. His body was steaming with demon energy, “My clan’s natural ability can refine souls for our own use. How many human cultivators wanted to break through the bottleneck and improve their cultivation? I was too lazy to help when they begged me. Now, you actually reject me?!”

“Ah Luo, we are friends.” Su Bai stared at the demon in front of him, and said slowly and firmly, “After so many years, you should at least understand what a friend is. The most important thing between friends is mutual respect.”

Dan Luo’s eyebrows were upturned. His demon spirit rushed into the sky, and the turbulent aura that burst out stirred his hair to raise.

The fragile human opposite him looked at him calmly and firmly, not at all weak.

There was a stalemate for a long time, but Dan Luo finally let go of the soul.

“In these years, the Qi of the world has faded and the power of faith has gradually become scarce. Therefore, you can’t break through the cultivation base, and you will run out of life and fall into such a situation. If I had known this, I would not have listened to you and let them go. If I had flooded the place a few times, the people in Lianghe Town may still hold you high in the altar.”

He was angry at first, and the more he talked, the more he showed a look of loneliness.

“Ah Luo, the preciousness of life lies in its shortness. My aptitude is limited, my cultivation base is stagnant, and my life span stops here. This is my destiny, but I am regarded as the God of the river and enjoy the fireworks in the world. Having lived for so many years, it’s already a fortune, you should be happy for me.”

“Happy? I don’t understand.” Dan Luo, who had wandered around the world for many years as a human, still felt that he couldn’t understand the joys and sorrows of human beings, “I can’t understand you when you are sad, and I can’t understand when you are happy. Obviously, if one could live a long time in this world, anyone would be happy, why refuse?”

His face became cold and he flicked his sleeves and turned into a black fish, swimming down from the high platform.

The icy tone echoed in the air, “If you insist on doing this, then do whatever you want.”

…

But for a demon, the humans he had seen in his life were like crucian carp who were going to die.

The demon fish swam in the bizarre crystal palace, slowly turning over in mid-air.

After so many years, he was tired of playing that game. When his friend dies, he wouldn’t have to keep that inexplicable agreement, he could have a good meal.

Yes, there was no need to be so irritable and nervous.

He would eat all the souls that had been hard-caught, and then send out a flood.

Were these not the favorite things he did in the past?

Haha, it was interesting. 

…

After the black fish was completely gone, Yuan Xiang quietly climbed onto the terrace, “Is this the Dan Luo you mentioned? Why did he treat you like this? Wait, I will unlock the array for you.” 

Yuan Xiang lowered her head to break the array. The whole array was very simple. It was quickly solved.

“Thank you, you don’t actually have to waste time for me. You are here to find your friends, right?” Su Bai took out a small tube of thin fishing line and gave it to Yuan Xiang, “Pour Qi into it and you can find those who you want to find and also find the exit of the maze. It is a gadget I made before. I’m giving it to you. It could be regarded as my gratitude.”

On the boat, the person that Yuan Xiang saw before was a dying old man. When she first saw him in the ring, he was about 50 or 60 years old.

When Yuan Xiang looked up, she seemed to feel that he was a little younger and became an elegant middle-aged man with the brows and eyes of the young man she had seen in her dream.

After the small tube of fishing line received from him was injected with Qi, a thin silver thread slid out of the spiritual tube and swam far in one direction.

Yuan Xiang thought for a while, “Then I will find my friend and leave. I will find you later and take you out.”

…

When Yuan Xiang found Dahua, she was immersed in a table of delicious food.

Because she was brought in with the body, she was in a separate room.

When Yuan Xiang pulled her, she let out a cry, reluctantly grabbed a roasted pigeon, and ran behind Yuan Xiang.

“Ah Xiang, why are you here?! What’s this place? I can’t find an exit at all.”

She shook her head and sighed as she ran, “It’s a pity. I haven’t seen so many delicious foods since I was a child. There is a lot of waste, making my heart hurt.”

This big-hearted and fat woman, after being looted there, couldn’t find a way out, she even relaxed her heart and ate.

“Or you stay here and eat some more, I’ll go back first,” Yuan Xiang let go angrily.

“Don’t, don’t leave me.” Dahua hurriedly grabbed Yuan Xiang, and handed the oily, fragrant roasted pigeon in her hands, “Ah Xiang you took a risk to save me, how can I not know in my heart? Take ,this is for you.”

Yuan Xiang patted her hand away, “Keep it for yourself.”
