Chapter 696: If I Am the Emperor (2)
“How about demons? For all this time, I have heard that demons are extremely savage and cruel creatures. But the many demons in Sun Never Sets have not attacked me once. Yesterday, Brother Jia Lan even gave me a lot of delicious food.” Long Yue was confused. During his stay in Sun Never Sets, what he experienced greatly differed from his prior knowledge. This kind of difference filled his heart with confusion and doubts.
Pei Yuan stood there in a daze. He honestly did not know the answer to this question.
Demons in Sun Never Sets were the strangest group of demons he had ever seen. They never attacked humans, nor showed any signs of wanting to eat humans in their presence. If it was not for the fact that Pei Yuan had witnessed how demons could kill without hesitation, he would have the same questions as Long Yue.
He was hesitating and filled full of doubts.
He had no idea how Shen Yanxiao achieved this. It was a surprise that she could turn those cruel and ferocious demons into such kind and friendly beings. His worries and doubts from the very beginning gradually faded away.
Could it be that demons and humans could coexist in peace?
“They are different.” All of a sudden, they heard Shen Yanxiao’s voice.
Pei Yuan and Long Yue turned around and saw Shen Yanxiao walking towards them. During their stay in Sun Never Sets, they would rarely meet Shen Yanxiao. It was as if she had forgotten about their existence.
“Shen Yanxiao!” When Long Yue saw Shen Yanxiao, a glint of happiness emerged in the depth of his eyes. He looked at this delicate girl, ill at ease, but there was a blush on his handsome face.
Shen Yanxiao looked at the shy prince and the careful Pei Yuan and went on with a smile, “The demons outside are not the same as the demons in Sun Never Sets. If you dare to be this close to demons outside, you will get eaten up within seconds.”
“Eh.” Long Yue was taken aback.
Shen Yanxiao found it amusing to see how Long Yue’s face turned stiff. She had never seen any prince be as bashful as Long Yue. Every time she met him, this little handsome guy would turn shy. She could not help but laugh at this sight.
“Most of the demons on the Brilliance Continent feed on humans. But I am convinced that one day in the future, they will not be interested in humans anymore, just like demons in Sun Never Sets.” With constant supply of dark elements, the demons that would still eat humans would gradually get ostracized and phase out!
“One day? Demons have been eating humans for over a millennium. How can they be changed so easily?” Pei Yuan did not believe Shen Yanxiao’s words.
“But right in front of you, there is a group of demons that has changed,” pointing to a low-ranked demon that was carrying a basket of rocks on its back, Shen Yanxiao said with a smile.
Pei Yuan frowned. Demons in Sun Never Sets were a special bunch amongst all the demons!
“City lord, are you here to discuss with us about the demons’ food by coming here today?”
Shen Yanxiao shrugged. Pei Yuan had never liked her. This old man carried a strong sense of righteousness. Though he could talk cheerfully and humorously with a kind and pleasant countenance with the high-ranked demons in the city, but every time he met her, he would always have an unhappy expression on his face.
“The Emperor has sent someone here to see you, and I am here to get you to meet him.”
“The Emperor has sent someone to see us? Who?” Pei Yuan asked.
“Principal of Saint Laurent Academy, Ouyang Huanyu.”
