#932 - Wei Changtian without integrity
The next morning, Wei Changtian met the “extremely beautiful” demon king of the Fifth Demon Territory that Yang Liushi had mentioned, and learned her name for the first time—Zhi Li.
Good heavens, Zhi Li Po Sui (meaning fragmented or broken)?
What kind of name is that?
Considering that the demon race doesn't have as much emphasis on naming as humans do, and doesn't even have so-called “surnames”, Wei Changtian just complained in his heart and didn't show his disgust on his face.
However, although the name was very strange, this white crane demon king with a thousand years of cultivation did indeed look good.
Even though she couldn't compare to the naturally charming fox demon Yang Liushi, and was also quite a bit behind Qing Xian, another demon king who was the most beautiful to date, she was at least stronger than Lu Jingyao and the others.
More importantly, Zhi Li had a different kind of noble temperament—if her complexion wasn't so ugly.
“I hope that the young master can keep his promise!”
Her tone was icy, but in the end, she didn't say anything harsh.
It could be seen that Zhi Li was trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart, after all, she also knew that she was far from being Wei Changtian's opponent.
Wei Changtian wasn't surprised by this, he just looked at Xu Quan standing aside, and then replied just as straightforwardly:
“I don't plan to do anything.”
“These demon soldiers can now return to Changliu Mountain.”
“...”
Suddenly widening her eyes, Zhi Li never expected to get such an answer.
Wei Changtian had put in so much effort—it seemed like he hadn't put in too much effort, but in short, he had borrowed 100,000 demon soldiers with such fanfare, but now he was saying that they could go back?
Was he playing with her?
For Zhi Li, who didn't know the situation in Linchuan City, she couldn't think of any other explanation besides this reason.
But in reality, Wei Changtian didn't have the time to play with her, he was telling the truth.
His purpose in borrowing demon beasts from Changliu Mountain at that time was to put pressure on Su Qi.
And now that Su Qi had surrendered, he couldn't possibly really take these 100,000 demon beasts to attack the Daqian capital, right?
Not to mention that the demon beasts wouldn't listen to commands and were difficult to control, the very act of “rebellion with demon beasts” would generate a great deal of negative public opinion.
So why not go back?
“Demon King, I mean these demon beasts can go back.”
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian didn't explain this to Zhi Li, he just added in a calm tone:
“But you cannot return to Changliu Mountain for the time being.”
“Including the demon generals under your command, you must all go to the capital with me.”
“As long as you obey my orders during this period, I will definitely return those few sacred fruits.”
“What?!”
Upon hearing this, Zhi Li couldn't care about anything else, and her face instantly became even more unsightly.
“That's not what you said before!”
“What was said before was that as long as I brought the demon soldiers to Linchuan, you would return the sacred fruit to me!”
“Don't you bully people too much!”
“Demon King, why are you shouting so loudly?”
Picking at his ear, Wei Changtian didn't care about Zhi Li's anger.
“I don't care how you negotiated before, anyway, these are the conditions here with me.”
“If you don't agree, don't even think about the sacred fruit, I guarantee you won't be able to leave this Linchuan City.”
“If you don't believe me, try it, I'm always ready to accompany you.”
“You!!”
Zhi Li never expected Wei Changtian to be so shameless, going back on his word immediately after agreeing, without even the slightest hesitation.
Yes, she had indeed negotiated the conditions with Yang Liushi and Xu Quan at that time.
But didn't these two represent Wei Changtian?!
If it wasn't like this, how would she have brought the demon soldiers here?!
Her eyes instantly turned red, and her body even trembled slightly from extreme anger.
Staring intently at Wei Changtian, Zhi Li was fortunate enough not to have lost her last bit of reason and didn't really make a move.
However, it was also impossible for her to agree to this condition, so in the end, she just gave Xu Quan another cold look, and then turned around and left without looking back.
“...Husband, should we send someone to keep an eye on her?”
Although Yang Liushi was also a little surprised by Wei Changtian's “shamelessness”, she was very clear about her camp, so she immediately said softly:
“Or should I go and follow her personally?”
“No need, that sacred fruit is still in Xu Quan's hands, she definitely won't leave.”
Wei Changtian waved his hand, as if not worried at all that Zhi Li would turn hostile, answered, and then turned to look at Xu Quan, whose expression was a little complicated.
“Young Master Xu, is the sacred fruit on you?”
“Yes.”
Xu Quan raised his head, slowly took out two purple fruits from his arms, and handed them to Yang Liushi and Wei Changtian respectively.
These two fruits were originally reserved for the two of them, and were not included in the three that were promised to be returned to Zhi Li.
He borrowed the demon soldiers and also earned three sacred fruits, Xu Quan originally thought that this was enough.
But he didn't expect that Wei Changtian would continue to “get it for free”...
Looking at Wei Changtian, who was studying the sacred fruit, Xu Quan opened his mouth, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.
On the other side, a small lake in Linchuan City.
Just as Wei Changtian was seriously studying what the sacred fruit could do, Zhi Li had already run to this unknown lakeside and was sulking.
Saying she was “sulking” was actually a bit of an understatement.
To put it a little more seriously, Zhi Li now wished she could cut Wei Changtian into a thousand pieces.
Just as Yang Liushi said, in most cases, the demon race is indeed very trustworthy.
And this also made Zhi Li especially detest rascals like Wei Changtian.
What's more, those few sacred fruits were originally hers...
Recalling Wei Changtian's contemptuous expression just now, and also recalling Xu Quan's confident look the night before, Zhi Li was angry and extremely regretful of her own stupidity.
Indeed!
Humans are not to be trusted!
If she had known this, she should have killed Xu Quan with one palm the night before!
At least in this way, she could still avenge herself and vent her anger, and wouldn't have to run to this lakeside alone to be angry like now!
Her eyes became more and more regretful and unwilling, her hands clenched the corners of her clothes tightly, and her lips were even bitten with a trace of blood.
With Zhi Li's current appearance, where did she look like a demon king with a thousand years of cultivation, she could even be said to be a bit “childish”.
But in fact, this is also normal.
Although demon beasts live a long time, except for fox demons, which are relatively intelligent species, most others are not particularly “mature”.
Therefore, it is understandable that Zhi Li is now in the appearance of a young wife who has suffered great grievances.
And just as she was “raging in vain”, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded behind her.
“Who is it?!”
Zhi Li suddenly turned her head to look, her eyes instantly becoming fierce.
Because the person who came was none other than Xu Quan, whom she had just regretted not killing with one palm.
