Chapter 55: Little Green Demonizes
Ning Ke strolled through the cities of the Yao Race for the first time and discovered that the architectural style of the Yao Realm was quite unrestrained. Unlike the square and upright style of the Human Race, everything was twisted and crooked, yet not to the point of collapsing. It was quite interesting.
If there was a camera, Ning Ke even wanted to stand next to that restaurant shaped suspiciously like a pile of poop and have someone take a photo for him.
Entering the restaurant, the boss recognized him at a glance. His small eyes shone as he greeted, “Lord Yao Venerable, a private room upstairs is reserved. Please, take the seat of honor.”
Ning Ke looked around and noticed everyone’s gaze.
He found that everyone looked at him like a die-hard fan.
It was fanatical worship.
Making him feel a little embarrassed.
After sitting down and the dishes were served.
The harem members looked at him shyly and timidly. This one came over to toast a glass of wine; that one picked up food for him.
Ning Ke wasn’t the original host, but now he somewhat liked this lively environment.
Unlike the terrible loneliness he felt before dying.
The current him had people accompanying him by his side.
“If the Lord hadn’t saved me back then, I’m afraid I would have died in Naku Mountain long ago.”
“Me too. If the Lord hadn’t fished me out of the Lou Sea, how could I be drinking and having fun with you guys like now?”
“Our Lord is truly beautiful and kind-hearted. If anyone dares to speak a bad word about the Lord, I’ll be the first to disagree!”
“Exactly, exactly! There must be hidden circumstances for the Lord destroying the Liuyun Sect. It must be that they committed some grave mistake that led the Lord to act.”
Listening to their words, Ning Ke sipped the wine in his cup, lost in thought.
He wasn’t the original host, so he didn’t understand the original host’s character.
But judging from the Yao Race’s attitude toward the original host, the original host didn’t seem to be a bad person.
Then, why did he brainlessly go provoke Lou Yunxiao?
He couldn’t figure out this problem.
Could only skip it.
Afterward, following the harem members to finish the meal, they went to the brothel to listen to songs again. The group played to their heart’s content before returning to the Yao Palace.
“Sovereign!!” The cat girl Yue Ya saw Ning Ke and was the first to run over. On her small round face, a pair of eyes smiled into crescents.
Seeing her, Ning Ke’s eyes also lit up.
Covering with his fan, only then did he not reveal a thief-like smile.
One fox and one cat looked at each other. Ning Ke shook his red sleeves that were light as gauze, leaned close to the cat girl, and whispered, “Here, give it from here.”
Yue Ya leaned close to Ning Ke and handed the thing over: “Sovereign, why do I suddenly feel that you came out of seclusion just to catch up with the author’s new book?”
“…Cough.” Ning Ke tucked away Me and the Daoist Supreme’s Days and Nights 3, touched the tip of his nose, and said, “How can I be that superficial? I clearly came out of seclusion this time because I was worried about the safety of the Yao Realm.”
“Oh~~~”
Yue Ya just said “Oh,” saying nothing else, but it was enough to make Ning Ke blush.
A certain Ning hurriedly stuffed the book away properly, ignored her, and walked away with big strides.
And when Ning Ke walked to his sleeping palace, he looked up and saw Silver Peak waiting there.
The man had broad shoulders and long legs, excellent body proportions. His face was handsome and resolute, just lacking a smile, looking a bit serious.
As Ning Ke’s guardian, Silver Peak’s cultivation had already reached the Mahayana stage. He was the most outstanding genius of the Snow Wolf Clan and should have gone to inherit the position of Clan Leader.
But he was willing to stay by Ning Ke’s side for so many years, managing everything around him for him.
Just like a stoic male mother figure.
Seeing Ning Ke return at this moment, he stepped forward.
“Sovereign, subordinate went to the south during the day and returned late, missing your exit from seclusion.”
“Heard from Yue Ya that you took the Yao from the rear courtyard out for drinks.”
“Did you enjoy yourself?”
“Mm.” In the Yao Realm, the one who understood the original host best was this Silver Peak. Ning Ke had to keep his nerves tight in front of him to avoid blowing his cover.
Therefore, he spoke little.
Silver Peak stared at him.
In his line of sight was Ning Ke’s face, flushed red from alcohol, but due to the dark circles under his eyes, it didn’t make one feel he was healthy.
Instead, somewhat sickly.
As a Nine-Tailed Fox, Ning Ke’s cultivation was perennially stable at the Tribulation Crossing stage, ridiculously high.
Conservatively estimated, even if those four Sect Masters of the Human Race joined forces, they might not necessarily be able to beat him.
But his current state looked like he was injured, very bad.
Silver Peak frowned and inquired, “Sovereign, your complexion…”
“Ah—”
Silver Peak spoke halfway when a piercing scream cut through the air.
Transmitting into both of their ears.
Ning Ke’s heart shivered, and he immediately headed in the direction of the scream.
Silver Peak also hurriedly followed.
The place the two went to was precisely the rear courtyard of the Yao Palace.
“Little Green! Little Green, what’s wrong with you?!”
“Quickly let go of Little Lan!”
“It’s a Demon! Little Green has demonized!”
When Ning Ke arrived, he heard such dialogue. Looking up.
His face instantly turned pale.
He saw that Little Green, whom the harem members said had lovesickness from missing him and was bedridden, was currently grabbing a woman with two bloody hands.
Gnawing on the other’s neck in big mouthfuls.
After biting through the neck, she hugged that head, sucking the juices inside.
Like eating some delicacy on earth!
Ning Ke’s steps paused.
He had only seen this kind of scene in movies.
After coming to this world in the book, even if he encountered Demons, he hadn’t seen a Demon eating a person with his own eyes.
At this moment, he felt cold all over, waves of nausea rising.
“Sovereign! Lord Silver Peak!”
The Yao in the rear courtyard were all little demons the original host saved back then, without much cultivation. Seeing this battle array now, they were all scared silly, hiding behind Ning Ke and Silver Peak one after another.
Silver Peak glanced at Ning Ke, who was stiff in place.
“Sovereign, let this subordinate handle the matters here; don’t dirty your hands.”
After speaking, in the next instant, he appeared in front of “Little Green” who wanted to escape, pinching her neck.
Snapped it cleanly and neatly.
Demonic energy emerged from Little Green’s body, wanting to drill into Silver Peak’s body, but was blocked on the periphery by Silver Peak’s majestic Yao power, unable to enter even a fraction.
Seeing this move didn’t work, the black demonic energy wanted to flee.
In the next moment, dark blue flames suddenly ignited around it.
“Ahhh—”
The demonic creature let out a miserable scream and dissipated into the air a moment later.
Silver Peak looked back and saw it was Ning Ke who acted.
So he let go of his hand and stood respectfully to the side.
Ning Ke pursed his lips.
Looking at the two corpses on the ground, he only felt cold all over.
Little Green was originally a Daylily, and Little Lan was an orchid the original host raised in the courtyard.
Just now, Little Lan was still laughing and pouring wine for him at the wine table.
Now she had become a cold corpse.
With a heavy heart, Ning Ke squatted down, personally piecing together the two broken bodies.
And placed the two together.
Watching silently for a while, Fox Fire rose in his palm.
Amidst the crying of the little demons, he burned these two corpses with a fire.
People and Yao who were possessed by Demons and brutally killed might undergo changes if not cremated.
So, it had to be done this way.
Billowing thick smoke filled the rear courtyard.
The smell of burnt corpses made people want to vomit.
Ning Ke’s face was paler, the dark circles under his eyes heavier.
At this moment, he understood more clearly that this world was never a game.
The appearance of the underground palace’s Demon was a signal.
In the future, he would probably face countless deaths like this.
Inevitable.
It took a long time before Ning Ke stood up, lowered his eyes, and looked at his own blood-stained palms, feeling somewhat lost and helpless for a moment.
Until his hand was grabbed.
The palm holding his was very broad and thick, with rough calluses.
But it held a soaked, clean little floral handkerchief.
Carefully and meticulously wiping the bloodstains off his hands for him.
He looked up and saw Silver Peak’s expressionless face.
Very cold, yet miraculously giving people a sense of steadiness and reliability.
The man opened his mouth and said, “Sovereign, you have already obliterated that Demon and avenged Little Green and Little Lan.”
“So, no need to blame yourself.”
