Chapter 161 Beautiful Lies
After Cangjie took the healing elixir that was given to him, he cleaned up the mess with the survivors of Feng Wulin.
Standing in front of the small half of the tree root exposed in Cang Si, no one was happy, and some younger monsters were sobbing softly.
The water in the pure bottle can only save those monsters that are not dead yet.
If the heart of a tree is pulled out and its trunk is cut off, even if it sprouts again and becomes a monster, it will not be the same monster as before.
Coming back from the dead is actually a beautiful lie.
What's funny is that the water in the pure bottle was offered by the demon plants themselves every year, and now when they return it, they are actually doing so in the name of gratitude and compensation.
The people who caused the Fengwulin tragedy suffered no substantial losses or punishment except for some insignificant resources.
Even though Qingqu seemed to be seriously injured and was punished, he was only detained for one night, and the injury could be healed with just one healing pill, and would not affect his demon activities tomorrow at all.
It is predictable what kind of situation they will encounter after the Hundred Ghosts Demon Parade ends and Chu Yi leaves.
Cangjie, the man who dared to report treason, is doomed to die.
All measures are just superficial.
There was an unquenchable rage in Cangjie's chest. The demon boy escaped punishment because of his high position, power and noble status, but those little demons under him were also at large.
Even though he knew rationally that this result was a pleasant surprise, how could he not feel resentful at this point?
Cang Wu Yu noticed his abnormality, patted his shoulder and consoled him: "This is already the best ending. At least many of our people were saved. Cang Er, Cang San and the others are all alive."
"The situation tonight is better than expected, and the environment here has also improved. The chances of Fengwumu transforming into a demon will be higher in the future."
Cangjie's face was as gloomy as water, he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Cang San said coldly: "What about half a month later? What kind of revenge will the Fengwu tribe face?"
After a moment of silence, Cang Wuyu looked up at the bright moon and said, "Take it one step at a time. If it doesn't work, die halfway."
Cangjie suddenly glared at him, his eyes filled with extreme disappointment, resentment and sorrow.
In his heart, although the patriarch often said decadent quotes, when things really happened, he believed that the patriarch would not sit idly by and wait for death.
But everything that happened tonight told him that the patriarch was such an irresponsible, cowardly person.
Cang Jie's chest heaved violently as he looked at Cang Wu Yu's snow-white hair and beard, his forced smile, and his guilty and evasive gaze.
In the end, all the anger turned into cold ashes, leaving only the desolation.
"Chief, if escaping can make you feel that the future is full of hope, then never stop."
"If everyone is doomed to die after escaping to the end, I hope you can still live with the last hope of the Fengwu tribe."
After Cangjie finished speaking in a low voice, he brushed away Cangjie's hand and turned to leave, his back looking lonely and distant.
Cang was speechless and stunned.
Tiantian has always been such a gentle child.
For the past eighteen years, no matter what other people thought of him as the clan leader, Tiantian always respected him and was patient and submissive.
She had never looked at him that way before, treated him so harshly, distantly and coldly.
Cang Wu Yu suddenly felt very cold in his heart. He raised his eyelids, but was completely overwhelmed by the same gazes from the others.
They looked at him indifferently, as if they were too lazy to scold him as usual, and left one by one.
Cang Wu Yu covered his ears and squatted on the spot, but after waiting for a long time, there was no child named Tiantian who would come to comfort him gently in the end.
A crescent moon, no stars, and an extremely lonely scene.
Cang pursed his lips speechlessly and raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears.
He choked up and muttered, "Why blame me for everything?"
……
After Cangjie returned, the first thing he did was to dig Zhujiu out of the ground.
He looked at her for a long while before sighing sadly, "Will you really wake up tomorrow?"
He never understood what was going on with Zhu Jiu, and even suspected that the other party was really dead, and he was just daydreaming and brought a corpse home.
After the disaster, Cangjie seemed to want to talk a lot, and he did not practice every minute as usual. He sat beside Zhu Jiu, hugging his knees and talking to himself.
Zhu Jiu listened without missing a word.
Because there are too many races in the Great Wilderness, they are fundamentally different from the human race in all aspects.
The Demon King Palace was recruiting disciples, and originally every race had a quota, but the descendants of the weaker races were eliminated due to the sudden addition of an "assessment", and the quotas were taken up by races with strong backgrounds.
Cangjie is just one of the insignificant unlucky ones.
However, although he did not get in, he remained determined, worked hard to cultivate, and worked hard for his people and spirit stones.
It's a pity that he suffered discrimination and cold stare from the demon clan, but fortunately he has always had a very strange characteristic.
As long as he wants to conceal his identity, no matter what level of human or monster, it will be difficult to detect his true identity.
When Xingjun heard this, he whispered, "That's nonsense. Youyou's soul essence is in you. Soul essence can work together, coexist, and transform. You can go anywhere and no one will recognize your true identity."
After that, he asked Zhu Jiu curiously, "Why are you still pretending to be dead?"
Zhu Jiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. The young boy is feeling down and is talking to me about his troubles. How can I spoil his mood? I think he feels more comfortable chatting with my corpse than with me."
"Turn the world into silence and listen to the sound of a boy's heart breaking." Xingjun said quietly, as if he understood her very well.
Cangjie was unaware of the conversation between the two bandits and continued to speak.
After he discovered that he had the ability to hide his true identity, he mixed in with the human race and was finally able to earn some spirit stones. Unfortunately, this little bit was not enough to support Cangjie's ideal.
He wanted to improve the living environment of the Fengwu tribe, buy the best nectar for the little demons to sprout, and refine pills so that the restricted tribesmen could have a chance to break through.
Pick any one of them and it will be an unattainable dream.
By chance, he discovered that the human race was cracking down on the human trafficking business. When he inquired, he found out that the profits from the human trafficking business were so huge!
Cangjie immediately jumped in and started selling himself.
He has sold himself more than ten times in different cities. Generally speaking, he has made a lot of money. Just look at the wine in Cang Wu Yu's space.
Xingjun looked at Cangjie obscenely and was surprised to find something, "This shouldn't be the case. This kid's Yuanyang has not dissipated!"
Zhu Jiu almost couldn't hold back his bluff, but he managed to calm down and scolded Xing Jun: "What are you doing? You are so perverted! You even peeked at this. You have no bottom line!"
Xingjun sneered: "I not only looked at Yuanyang, I also looked at other places. Why? Do you want to know?"
Zhu Jiu said nothing.
Xing Jun: "If you don't want to know, forget it. I won't tell you."
Zhu Jiu got anxious and tightened his grip, just enough to hold Cangjie's hanging hand.
The latter was speaking his true feelings when he suddenly froze. He turned around and found Zhu Jiu still lying there, not awake at all.
He looked at his tightly clenched hand again and saw Zhu Jiu quietly loosening his hand in an attempt to cover up his mistake.
As if to say that nothing just happened, you continue speaking.
Cangjie: “…”
The sad mood was suddenly covered by another kind of hot embarrassment.
Help, help!
He had been dealing with humans all his life since he was a kid, and habitually kept all his emotions wrapped up in a warm shell. He had never said such words to anyone, and yet they were overheard! !
So, so shameful!
Cangjie scratched his fingers with a flushed face, his body became illusory for a moment, and he was ready to transform into his original form and bury himself in the pit.
But the hand with slender fingers was grasped tightly again, and Cangjie was forced to stop.
He met Zhu Jiu's piercing gaze.
The latter looked serious, and after a moment of hesitation, he asked in a deep voice, "May I ask, how did you manage to survive among the ten guests?"
Cangjie: “…”Are you polite?
It was indeed impolite and a bit offensive, so Zhu Jiu quickly added: "I'm just curious, I don't mean anything else. If you don't tell me... I'm afraid it won't work."
Cangjie bit his back teeth, his face turned a little blue, and he wanted to retreat, but someone held him tightly.
He managed to say, "Why not?"
Because Xingjun said that if I didn't ask clearly, he would sing "Tentative" in the middle of the night, and I had no choice but to do so.
Zhu Jiu said silently in his heart.
Star Lord: “???” Be careful or I’ll sue you for slander, Zhu Jiuyou!
"Because I will miss you so much because of this question that I can't sleep." Zhu Jiu looked at Cangjie's handsome face with deep eyes.
Cangjie: “…” What a nice girl, but it’s a pity that she only has a mouth. How could she die so soon?
Cangjie smiled slowly, like a blooming night-blooming cereus at midnight, so beautiful.
Some moonlight illuminated his moist eyes, and he said softly: "Then Jiujiu, think of me every night."
He added in a low voice: "Because I have been thinking about you day and night."
Zhu Jiu nearly drowned in the other's tenderness and took a breath of cold air. He was indeed a prostitute, and he was a professional at teasing!
But only Xingjun noticed Cangjie's extremely fast heartbeat.
