Chapter 1137: Either You Eat It, Or It Eats You
The Pegasus headed east. Perhaps it was because it was getting closer to the sun, or perhaps it was because they had arrived at a strange place. It was not because of the snow, but because of the warmth of spring and the fragrance of flowers.
It was a paradise surrounded by mountains and rivers. There were beautiful flowers everywhere and pavilions. Wen Jiu was even more confused as to where they were.
The white ribbon on her body was loosened, and she was once again thrown heavily onto a soft couch.
“What a pair of sharp eyes. I didn’t burn you or treat you as a monster. Little thing, put away your sharp claws.”
Wen Jiu looked at him without blinking. Her blood-red eyes didn’t show any signs of weakening. Instead, they became even redder and darker.
Zhai Yue’s heart tightened. This shouldn’t be. Even after ten years of intense fire, this person was still human. How could she coexist as a human and a demon and become half-human and half-demon?
His palm turned downward and turned into a circle in mid-air, striking fiercely at Wen Jiu. Before Wen Jiu could react, she was suddenly struck by a palm force.
“Roar–”
A furious roar sounded. The horn on her head suddenly appeared. Removing the illusion, this woman really did have this dragon horn on her head.
Zhai Yue frowned. Seeing that this little thing that had been angered was about to attack him, he moved to the left and barely dodged it.
The ribbon in his hand struck out again, tightly binding Wen Jiu together. His right hand turned into the air, and with a shapeshifting attack, Wen Jiu miraculously slowly quieted down.
...
Her eyes were still blood-red, but the horn quietly disappeared, once again buried in her long gray hair.
“Half-demon? It’s really half-human and half-demon.”
“Little thing, do you know that there is no place for half-human and half-demon in the Six Realms?”
“Who are you? What do you want?”
“Hahaha, aren’t I your Master? You heard it just now.”
Wen Jiu was stunned, and her blood-red eyes gradually disappeared, revealing a confused expression. She was only eight years old when she abandoned the Ten Thousand Bone Cave, and the raging fire had burned for ten years. She only remembered the hatred in her heart, and the rest, she was still like a child who didn’t know anything. When she heard the word ‘master,’ she felt strange.
“Little thing, what’s your name?”
Name? Humph, how could she have a name? It was because Wen Tiantu had gone to the battlefield and missed giving her a name. Her mother, Wen Qin, had lost her life because the two brothers of another mother were only a few minutes older than her, she felt that she was born defeated and was even more unwilling to give her a name. In the end, she had chosen a random name, Wen Jiu, the kind that had a cheap life and was easy to feed.
Thus, until now, her name was only Wen Jiu.
Wen Jiu appeared to be a little uneasy, because she did not like her current name, and because she knew that it was not a name, it was just a code name.
“You don’t know? It doesn’t matter. Anyway, if you’re going to be my disciple, even if you have a name, you don’t have to use it. From now on, you will be called Fan Xing.” The Imperial Preceptor thought that she did not know, so he thought about it and directly gave her a name.
“Fan Xing?”
She was actually called Fan Xing?
What about him? Who was he?
Wen Jiu looked at Zhai Yue and Zhai Yue smiled slightly. This smile made Wen Jiu slightly lose her mind. At this time, she realized that this man had a face that revered the heavens and the sun, the aloof and proud pride that emerged from his bones was actually so strong.
Why was he willing to accept her as his disciple for no reason?
He was clearly looking at her with his lips curled up like he was smiling, but his eyes that were as cold as water and the coldness that came from his bones from afar made people feel that there was no warmth at all.
“Don’t laugh.”
The words came out of her mouth and Zhai Yue was stunned. He only looked at the half-human half-demon that was like a wild beast that was not easy to tame.
She told him not to laugh? She didn’t mean to tell him not to laugh at her, but not to smile. She didn’t want him to smile insincerely. Was that so?
The smile remained on his face without any restraint. He just stood there and looked at her quietly. After a long while, he looked at the blood-red eyes and her trembling limbs. He knew that this was the first time this little thing had turned into a demon.
How could being a demon be better than being a human? Being a demon was ten times, a hundred times harder than being a human.
He grabbed her and looked at her suddenly becoming weak and powerless. The domineering aura from before, the unruly and unruly attitude, had all disappeared. At this moment, she was like a lazy kitten. She was so docile that it made people want to hug her and take care of her.
When he opened the dark room, she could smell a strong and pungent smell of blood.
“Let go, let go of me.”
She wanted to struggle, but those bone-deep itchiness and numbness seemed to rush straight into her heart. Her limbs were weak, and she was terrified. What was wrong with her? What was wrong with her?
“Be good, you are hungry. Humans will be hungry, and demons will be hungry too. The first lesson that Master is going to teach you is to eat first. Only when you are full can you become a demon.”
Bang–
The heavy iron door was closed, and the four luminous pearls instantly lit up. The room was brightly lit up.
There was a huge cage in the room, and in the cage was a hungry, delirious, and wantonly roaring tiger.
“What are you going to do? What do you want to do?”
The itchiness and numbness that was like ants moving around covered his entire body, making him unable to stop.
“What are you going to do? I’m going to teach you how to eat. Go ahead. Either you eat it and drink its blood, or it eats you. It can still live for a few more months.”
A cold and stern voice rang out. The person who was obviously smiling but said words that were even colder than ice. He wanted her to eat it and drink its blood.
No, no, she was a human. How could she drink blood?
She was a human, not a beast, not a demon.
No, she was a demon, she should drink blood and eat meat.
No, she was not.
No, she was...
Different voices kept echoing in her mind, struggling violently. She wanted to escape, but her whole body was sore and she could not move a single step. She wanted to be ruthless and eat that huge beast, but she could not do it.
Just when she was uncertain about what to do, the iron gate — Bang! — had suddenly closed, and she was thrown into the iron cage. The man who claimed to be her master had his hands clasped behind his back, standing leisurely in the distance. He watched her fall into the beast cage.
A strong fishy smell came from the beast cage, followed by a huge bloody mouth.
That d*mn man actually threw her into this cage. Why did he do that? Why?
She was not a demon. She could not drink blood or eat this tiger. However, if she did not kill it, she would fall into the tiger’s stomach.
Her limbs went numb as she looked at the approaching tiger. Blood-red eyes appeared again. She wanted to live. No matter what, she had to live first.
Pale-faced and blood-red eyes, she stared at the tiger in front of her. This was obviously twice the size of an ordinary tiger. Wen Jiu no longer thought that it was as simple as an ordinary beast.
Her limbs were sore. Without thinking, Wen Jiu bit the back of her hand. The smell of blood went straight to her head, and a strong sense of disgust swept over her.
Look, she didn’t like the smell of blood, did she? So she wouldn’t eat it. She wouldn’t drink the blood of this tiger.
The piercing pain in her arm and the fangs that had already grown out made her pounce over like a leopard.
