Chapter 945: Chapter 945 - 433: Return
Tianyuan Town.
"Huff..."
Defeated.
The Green Demon, no longer in the form of Li Shidao, mingled among the audience, looked at the Shu Bird Demon on the stage receiving all the cheers, and couldn’t help but sigh deeply in his heart.
The Green Demon acted willfully for once.
Under safe conditions, he unleashed his demon body and went all out in a battle against the Shu Bird Demon, who did the same.
The result was a crushing defeat.
One could barely say he could exchange blows for a while, possibly because the Shu Bird Demon was holding back. The gap between them was still significant, making it difficult for him to defeat the Shu Bird Demon and take his place.
At this moment, the Shu Bird Demon, who had already returned to his human form, let his gaze linger on the ’defeated challenger’ Green Demon for a few seconds, then quickly turned away.
This was a deal, also a favor.
The Green Demon wanted to know how far off he was from these Demon Leaders.
Only with full power, in his demon body state, could he grasp this gap.
For this, he had to agree to some of the Shu Bird Demon’s demands.
But the Green Demon did not regret it.
If he didn’t challenge the Demon Leaders and figure out the extent of the gap, he would remain in a perpetual state of preparation, forever waiting for an opportunity.
Time waits for no one.
This grand ship was not far from its destination.
If the matter with the Li Family succeeded, everything would accelerate.
Not enough...
No matter how much he strived to increase his strength during this time, it still wasn’t enough!
The strength of these Demon Leaders was too powerful. He needed more time to hide and brew, then he might have a chance to soar high and amaze everyone.
Turning around, the Green Demon left this celebration place.
On the outside, Li Shiquan won the final results of the Li Family trial, becoming the ultimate heir of the Li Family.
According to the news from the Shu Bird Demon, this time, the Li Family trial seemed rather special.
When the plan reached this point, the Shu Bird Demon had a way to directly meet the old monster of the Li Family.
And this was the best time to assassinate the old monster of the Li Family!
For such a grand occasion, to be honest, the Green Demon wanted to participate too.
Because it was part of the big plan. Only by truly participating could he someday become an irreplaceable key part of the plan.
But clearly, right now, he wasn’t qualified to participate.
"Ultimately... still not strong enough!"
The Green Demon clenched his fists, a bloodthirsty killing intent in his eyes.
To complete the assassination of the Li Family old monster, some obstacles from the Li Family Elders also needed to be removed.
He planned to go back and discuss this with the Shu Bird Demon.
He would fight for the high-quality blood and flesh of those Elders.
Even though it felt a bit too shameless to make such a request just after losing to the Shu Bird Demon, the Green Demon couldn’t help but speak up.
But he always remembered this favor.
Sooner or later, he would pay back this favor to the Shu Bird Demon!
But for now, he had to go see someone first.
"So slow to arrive."
In the private elegant seating of the inn, a woman held a small wine cup between two fingers, taking a sip, shifting her gaze from the scenery outside the window back to someone inside the room.
Her gaze scanned up and down the Green Demon, and she slowly opened her mouth to speak.
"Even that lord values you so much, which shows I have a keen eye. I should have gotten hold of you earlier."
Pointing casually at the seat in front, Bai Wanxi said: "Sit down, let’s talk slowly."
"..."
The Green Demon did not sit, just stood there upright, looking coldly at Bai Wanxi.
"Ice Immortal Demon, let’s get this straight: I’m not yours, I still belong to the Shu Bird Demon. I’m just here to help you for a while, only for a month. After a month, there will be nothing between us."
Bai Wanxi laughed, a cold laugh.
Being tortured every day by that foreign demon was one thing, but that demon’s strength was genuinely formidable. How dare a Green Demon presume in front of me...
Bai Wanxi had not yet reacted when, suddenly sensing something, her expression abruptly changed.
"Da..."
Before she could finish her words, her expression and aura drastically shifted.
Not only did her expression calm down, but she also squinted her eyes.
"What pure bloodline... Green Demon, this is the first time we meet, right? You can call me Lord Yin."
"Yin Demon." the Green Demon said stoically.
This word ’Yin Demon’ froze ’Bai Wanxi,’ who was then followed by wildly exaggerated laughter.
"Good, good, good! Interesting, interesting! You should be glad that I am treating you as an ally, not as a servant. Otherwise, just for that title you used, you’d be as good as dead."
Threat?
The Green Demon slightly raised his eyebrows.
Since the Shu Bird Demon didn’t tell him everything, the Green Demon thought this foreign demon was just an outsider called upon by the Demon Leaders.
But judging from the current situation, it seemed the Ice Immortal Demon was afraid of this demon.
A being feared by even a Demon Leader was naturally not someone the Green Demon could contend with.
But he had the backing of the Shu Bird Demon and many other Demon Leader allies, so he still had some confidence.
Moreover, the word ally did intrigue the Green Demon a bit, though he didn’t dwell on it.
"What do you need me to do?"
The Green Demon knew his specialty: perfectly restoring human skin was his greatest strategic value.
Oddly enough, the Yin Demon merely chuckled, leaving behind the words ’temporarily work with the Ice Immortal Demon’ before exiting from the Ice Immortal Demon’s body.
The Ice Immortal Demon, regaining control of the body, was about to scold the Green Demon for fear he might anger that lord and cause her to lose her life, but then heard the voice of that lord echoing in her mind, making her immediately shut her mouth, not daring to speak harshly to the Green Demon.
