"You two are demon hunters, right?"

Yue Ye hid the sleeping Leng Xiao behind him, raised his hands flat as if to show his sincerity, and asked calmly.

"Ah."

Xingyuan nodded slightly, but he did not reveal Yueye's identity. Instead, he addressed her the same way as the other members of Yueye Merchant Group, but his attitude was not as good. "Miss Yueye, is the one behind you a demon?"

Yue Ye: “…”

I should not have agreed to Leng Xiao removing the magic pupil...

It was a pity that it was too late to regret now. Yue Ye looked at Xing Yuan and Cai Er in front of her, and her heart sank. Compared with Xing Yuan, Cai Er obviously gave her a stronger sense of crisis.

Fortunately, this human girl, who looked very young, seemed to listen to this man very much, so all he had to do was find a way to calm him down.

And I don’t know why, but when Yue Ye looked at Xingyuan, he always felt a sense of inexplicable intimacy, as if the other party would not hurt him.

There is clearly no demonic aura on him.

But rather than trusting his own instincts, Yue Ye would rather rely on his own methods to fight for a glimmer of hope...

"It's not just her."

Yue Ye said in a calm voice: "I am also a demon, but I am not a pure-blooded demon."

"I know."

Xingyuan nodded gently, "So our target is not you, Miss Yueye, and you are committing a serious crime by helping the pure-blooded demons sneak into the Alliance. Although we don't have time to escort you back to the Alliance now, we will definitely report your Yueye Merchant Group to the Alliance."

As he spoke, Xingyuan took out a detection gem that could record impressions from his pocket and waved it in front of Yueye's face.

"you!"

Yue Ye obviously didn't expect that this human male, whom she had inexplicably developed some affection for before, would actually do such a "shameless" thing.

It’s not enough for the other party to want Leng Xiao, they also want to destroy her Moonlight Merchant Group and put her on the blacklist of the Temple Alliance...

But before Yue Ye could do anything, a dark golden dagger was already pressed against her chest.

Looking at the stunning girl in front of him with no emotion in her eyes, Yue Ye had no doubt that if she found out he was thinking of taking action, he would be stabbed through the heart in an instant.

The reason why Yue Ye knocked Leng Xiao unconscious when she saw the situation was not right was because her sixth sense told her that she would be the first to die.

After all, the physical strength of her Moon Demon clan cannot be compared with that of Leng Xiao, the Dragon Princess.

"be honest."

Cai'er said coldly, and the tip of the dagger in her hand slowly cut through Yue Ye's skin.

The purifying power produced by the reincarnation furnace flowed into her body, causing her to groan. At the same time, she was also somewhat glad that she had not asked them to do it...

Otherwise she would be dead now.

Although the current situation doesn't seem to be getting any better, she is still alive, isn't she?

Cai'er naturally would not kill Yue Ye without authorization, because Xingyuan seemed to have something to say to her.

However, Xingyuan didn't seem to be in a hurry for the time being, or perhaps he wanted to grasp Yue Ye's psychology and make her realize that she was at a disadvantage in the negotiations.

Xingyuan decided to keep Yueye hanging for a while. He knew she cherished her life very much. As long as she could survive, she would do anything. If possible, Xingyuan hoped that Yueye could sign a contract with him like Li Xin and Yue Mingnan... no, it was more like a slave contract.

A guy like Yue Ye who is full of thoughts and ambitions.

If she can't guarantee her loyalty, Xingyuan would rather not have her work for him.

While thinking about things in his mind, Xingyuan looked at Leng Xiao who was sleeping soundly on the soft couch. He couldn't help but become curious about how much protection the Demon God Emperor would leave on Leng Xiao...

However, Yue Ye noticed that Xing Yuan's attention suddenly shifted from herself to Leng Xiao who was already in a deep sleep, and said anxiously: "You can't kill her."

I almost forgot, if Leng Xiao got into trouble here, even if Yue Ye went back, the Demon God Emperor would make her pay for it...

Why not use Leng Xiao to threaten Yue Ye? This is the most convenient and quickest way to gain her loyalty.

Xingyuan was still worried about the imminent attack from the demon army. He didn't want to stay with Yue Ye for too long and wanted to end the battle with her as quickly as possible.

But before Xingyuan could speak, Yueye continued, "You can't do anything inappropriate to her either—hiss."

Xingyuan: “…”

Cai'er calmly increased the output power of the purifying force. Fortunately, Yue Ye was not a pure-blooded demon, so he only felt a burning pain all over his body and there was no need to worry about his life.

However, if Cai'er did this, it would inevitably reduce the spiritual power in her body, so after Xingyuan felt that Yue Ye had suffered enough, he signaled Cai'er to let her go for the time being.

"Why can't I touch her?"

Xingyuan walked up to Yueye who was slumped on the ground, squatted in front of her and asked her word by word.

"...She is of noble status. Killing her will bring disaster upon you."

At this moment, Yue Ye felt cold all over, with fine beads of sweat covering her entire forehead. In order to consume the purifying power injected by Cai'er and raging in her body, she had almost spent most of her spiritual power.

She is really powerless now.

But even so, Yue Ye is still trying his best to gain the initiative in the negotiations...

"A disaster is coming?"

Xingyuan smiled with some disdain, opened his hand and clenched it. His dragon-headed staff hidden underground instantly broke out of the ground, pierced through the bottom of the luxurious carriage, and was grasped in his hand.

Xingyuan placed his ferocious dragon head against Yueye's chin, asking her to look up at him. "If that's the case, shouldn't you want us to kill her so you can get away?"

Xingyuan suddenly changed the subject, "Or if we kill her, you will die too?"

Yue Ye fell silent after hearing this, but the expression on her face was enough to show that she was thinking of a countermeasure at a very fast speed.

This was the first time Cai'er saw Xingyuan do such a thing, but after all, one of these two people was a demon, and the other was a human-demon hybrid who helped the demons smuggle into the alliance, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so.

Cai'er also glanced at Leng Xiao lying on the soft couch. It was only at this time that she noticed that she had such a graceful figure. After all, the person who was responsible for staring at her just now was Xingyuan, and she had not looked at him directly.

"Who is she?"

Cai'er looked at Yue Ye with some curiosity and asked.

"…The daughter of the demon."

Yue Ye did not dare to reveal Leng Xiao's true identity. She was betting that Xing Yuan and Cai Er would not recognize the form of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon after it transformed into a human. (End of this chapter)
