Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 824: Chapter 691: A Monstrous Bully

The man’s eyes, as if they could see right through one’s heart, instantly penetrated into Little Qiu Tian’s thoughts.

Little Qiu Tian gulped and thought about fleeing, but seeing Long Baobao and Little Wuya not far from the man, Little Qiu Tian hesitated.

The other was a demon, after all. Though they had disguised their demonic power and looked human, charming enough to beguile thousands, a demon was still a demon, fierce and ferocious.

If he became displeased and ate Long Baobao and Little Wuya, how could it face its master?

”I have no interest in eating humans; that’s something only lowly demons do,” Feng Xun spread his hands.

Little Qiu Tian’s sausage-shaped mouth suddenly opened wide.

This person—no, this demon—really could see through its thoughts, how terrifying!

Little Qiu Tian started backing away in fright, thudding several steps.

The master’s lover must have a dual personality.

Earlier, when facing the master, he spoke gently and sweetly, his eyes soft as if water were about to drip from them.

But as soon as the master left, this man became terrifying.

His gaze was sharper than a knife, as if one look from him could slice off a piece of oneself.

Little Qiu Tian’s mind raced with random thoughts, wanting to flee, but suddenly, its flower vines stiffened, unable to move as if someone had cast an immobilization spell on it.

Whimpering, so frightened, this demon doesn’t eat people, could it be it wants to eat flowers instead!

”With your intelligence, it’s a wonder the Three Sects would let you guard the Sky Demon Bei. No surprise the sealing was broken,” Wu Zhong rolled his eyes. He knew that since obtaining the Moonflower King, even though he hadn’t absorbed it, just having the Moonflower King with him made his demonic power increasingly prominent.

This trip to Sifang City had indeed proven worthwhile.

Wasn’t the Moonflower King what he had been searching for all these years? Yet why, after getting the Moonflower King, he no longer had the immediate impulse to absorb it?

Wu Zhong knew in his heart that he was being timid.

Heaven knows, when he heard Ye Lingyue wake up, and she reached out to gently touch his face and called out Wu Zhong instead of Feng Xun, the surge of elation in his heart.

Although he had long accepted the reality that Ye Lingyue loved Feng Xun, not Wu Zhong.

At that moment, he would rather believe that Ye Lingyue also had a place for him in her heart.

Getting along with Feng Xun was the toughest yet happiest decision Wu Zhong had made, putting aside his pride.

But then the Moonflower King appeared.

Both Feng Xun and Wu Zhong well understood that there was a seal within them, and the power within their bodies was not yet strong enough to break the seal.

But if they were to swallow the Moonflower King, everything would change.

Between him and Feng Xun, it’s very likely that one will disappear.

Or perhaps, both of them will disappear.

Beneath the seals, what is truly sealed is the real Demon Ancestor. But whether that man is more like Wu Zhong or Feng Xun, or perhaps a completely new personality, all that remains unknown.

Therefore, neither Feng Xun nor Wu Zhong has made up their mind to consume those two Moonflower King blossoms.

It’s as if it were an unspoken rule between the two of them, not to be mentioned unless absolutely necessary.

However, Little Qiu Tian’s discovery forced Wu Zhong to bring this matter to the forefront ahead of time.

”Do not insult me. If I regain my strength, I will definitely be able to defeat you, you Great Demon, or should I say Sky Demon?” Little Qiu Tian stubbornly protested, glancing towards the cave exit from time to time.

In its heart, it was hoping for its master to return quickly.

But upon thinking that its master could potentially be eaten by this big demon in human skin upon return, Little Qiu Tian felt conflicted.

”Heh, stop your wishful thinking. Qiu Tian, do you really think that meteor catastrophe you experienced was just a coincidence?” Wu Zhong’s thin lips slightly lifted into a cold smile.

”What do you mean by that? Are you saying that the Reincarnation Tribulation was...” Little Qiu Tian realized something.

”Whether it’s Ancient Creatures or Fierce Beasts, they are existences beyond the rules of the Qing Province Continent. As Ancient Creatures, during the Ancient Times, you were regarded beings on par with gods. Your cultivation is not easy and if your cultivation breaks through to the Divine Power Realm, it would be comparable to that of the gods. With your former self, Lady Qiu Tian’s personality, how could you be content being controlled by the likes of the Three Sects on the Qing Province Continent?” Wu Zhong spoke calmly, his detached voice, no matter how uncomfortable to listen to, slowly penetrated Little Qiu Tian’s heart.

Little Qiu Tian’s body remained stiff, its heart slowly sinking, but still it was unwilling to accept this reality.

”Impossible. Demons are best at enchanting hearts; you must be deceiving me. The Three Sects are reputable sects; I am their friend!”

”Friend? Know that those who will betray you will only ever be your friends. Although demons are not exactly kind-hearted, I have no need to sow discord. If it wasn’t for the Three Sects dreading your breakthrough to the Divine Power Realm and surpassing their control, why then when the Sky Demon Bei appeared, did the Three Sects have no reaction? Because they all think that compared to a past-his-prime Sky Demon who has been sealed for many years, an Ancient Creature at the Divine Power Realm is much harder to deal with. The experts of the Three Sects could harness the Power of Heaven and Earth to induce upheaval; this, you understand better than I do, don’t you?” Wu Zhong’s final words fully awakened Little Qiu Tian.

It fell silent.

Indeed, it too had doubted why the Three Sects, despite having the power to completely eliminate the Sky Demon Bei, did not completely exterminate it.

Why, all these years, it had stayed in the Black Valley, and the Three Sects had set up so many prohibitions and Spiritual Beasts outside the valley.

So, all this was not just about dealing with the Sky Demon Bei, but also to guard against it.

Heh, it had always viewed those so-called reputable sects as friends and even believed that they would earnestly find a way to send it back to the Ancient Times. Like a watchdog, it guarded the Black Valley for them, only to find out everything was just a joke.

It had been utterly fooled.

Had it not been fated for demise and met Ye Lingyue, thus being able to use the power of Hong Meng Heavenly Nirvana for rebirth, it would likely have truly died in that disaster.

”Damn the Three Sects, I will never let them off!” Little Qiu Tian’s anger made the petals on the flower platform rustle, and rage surged within it. ”I’m grateful that you’ve informed me of the truth that’s puzzled me for years, but even so, I won’t hide your identity for you. My master is the only person in this world who didn’t covet any benefits from me, who gave me a new life. You are a demon, lurking by her side, certainly with ill intentions; I must inform her of your true identity.”

Little Qiu Tian’s words drew a burst of laughter from Wu Zhong.

”Good, very good. You still have some affection for her. I’ll also tell you the truth. I stay by her side to repay a debt, while you stay by her side out of gratitude. My own life depends on it.”
