Demon King's Repayment - chapter 272

The two ran toward the original room together, where there were all living souls, and the bodies of those people were still alive. As long as the souls were released, they could get back.

Now that the exit had been found, Yuan Xiang intended to fish out these people together.

“Although the demon is terrifying, his life here is really too comfortable. When I came, I saw that those were people from Lianghe Town, men who usually can’t marry a wife would be accompanied by seven or eight beautiful women. The poor man who can’t get enough food  got mountains of riches every day. The housewives who have been humiliated, here got a dozen handsome lords who would serve them tea and pour water. Ah Xiang, do you think there will be anyone willing to go back with us?”

“If they don’t want to go back, they can stay, and voluntarily become the demon’s snacks.”

But when she got there, Yuan Xiang didn’t say a word, sacrificed an exquisite golden ball, filled the souls in the courtyard there, and ran away.

Behind, countless water demons immediately caught up with them. Some of the little demons were still holding the pan in their hands, and some were still holding a pipa. They shouted and chased all the way.

Yuan Xiang rushed all the way with Dahua, both of them had talismans attached to their legs to speed up their escape. She didn’t want to fight in the water with the fish demon.

But soon, layers of water lines appeared behind her, and the black giant fish appeared in the water waves. He seemed to swim very slowly, but in fact, a wobbled tail was already approaching.

“A human Taoist, interesting. Let me see what kind of person it is who dares to take food from my mouth.”

The thin fishing line lit up a ray of light on the ground, pointing out the direction of escape for the fleeing humans, and the exit was near the terrace where Su Bai was. Yuan Xiang rushed all the way.

She rushed to the terrace and was about to call Su Bai’s name.

But on the array, the figure under control was gone. If one took a closer look, they would see that it wasn’t gone, but it was getting smaller.

The body of an adult man who originally sat there was reduced to an eight or nine-year-old child.

He sat with a childish face, his oversized robe slumped loosely on the circle.

“What’s going on?” Yuan Xiang was taken aback.

“There is nothing surprising. The way I was born, I returned to nature in that way. This is exactly what I cultivated.” The young Su Bai said in a childish voice, “Go, I will stop him for you.”

“But you…”

Yuan Xiang couldn’t bear it. Although she and the old man had little contact, they talked shallowly with each other. And he had helped her find her when she was young.

It was too late to talk more, talk about the past of the master, and unexpectedly he wanted to say goodbye again there.

“Don’t be sad for me. Death is just the beginning of another form of life,” the young boy reached out and pushed them.

Yuan Xiang gritted her teeth and pulled her feet away.

A thick black mist filled up from under the terrace, and a huge black fish with blood red eyes swayed his long body and appeared in the thick fog.

He chased the girl holding the golden bell all the way, but suddenly stopped halfway.

In front of him was a kid who was only eight or nine years old, but his immature face had facial features and expressions that he knew very well.

The fierce fish stopped.

“Is it the last?” The demon said in a low voice.

The six or seven year old boy said with a smile, “Ah Luo, I want to say goodbye to you.”

The big fish turned into a human, looking down at the boy in front of him, silent.

“Ah Luo, the day when my hometown was ravaged by the enemy, and my family all died in front of me, I should have already died.” The five or six-year-old boy looked at his tall friend with his head up, “You fished me out of such a desperate world, stayed by my side every day, and accompanied me through the most difficult time.”

“Although I have lost everything, I finally still have a friend. This is the only reason that supported me to live at that time,” the four-year-old boy said tenderly.

“I have always wanted to thank you. Although you are not of the same kind as me, you are not as indifferent as you think,” the three-year-old boy said with a smile.

“Thanks to you, I had a friend, so what could I ask more for?”

“Ah Lu…”

On the mottled circle, only a pile of clothing was left, and there was no trace of that person anymore.

The tall demon stood in front of the pile of clothes, looking down at the ground.

He was just a human being, and there were so many humans in this world, it was not surprising that he died.

A drop of water that he did not know where it came from hit the complex ground of the array.

Dan Luo touched his cheek with his fingers and found that his fingertips were wet.

“Why are you crying? I really don’t understand why humans cry.”

“Try to perceive the world with a human body, maybe this will breed true human emotions.”

It turned out that sadness was such a feeling.
