Chapter 616: Partner with Demons (2)
Shen Yanxiao nodded. The five demons went off to take care of their assignments and left the two alone.
“Brother Du, what is on your mind?” Shen Yanxiao asked.
Du Lang watched as the five demons left. Slowly, he shifted his eyes to the little girl.
For the past day, he had been on the receiving end of too many surprises. He had met more demons in that one day than the first half of his life.
“What is going on between you and the demons?” After much hesitation, Du Lang asked the question. He had a hard time picturing a peaceful coexistence between humans and demons. The two races were enemies, incompatible as fire and water.
“Nothing much. It’s just that we have reached some agreement. Don’t worry about it. The demons here will not attack you,” Shen Yanxiao answered with a smile.
However, her answer did not convince Du Lang.
“You should know about the relationship between demons and humans. How can they reach an agreement with us? Advanced demons are a clever bunch. They are only afraid of the mythical beasts, including the Vermilion Bird, so they dare not set themselves against you. However, they might scheme against you in private.”
Shen Yanxiao shook her head.
“Brother Du, they will not do that; trust me.” It was not the right time for her to reveal the facts about the three plants. Those plants had everything to do with the demons’ attitude in the Sun Never Sets, Xiu’s further recovery, and her seal’s removal. She did not want more people to know about it unless it was absolutely necessary.
“Very well.” Du Lang sighed. He could not get Shen Yanxiao to agree with him. He decided to ask others to pay more attention to the demons’ actions.
The sun was setting. Everyone went back to the auditorium and sat down on the straw mattresses that the demons had prepared. Their hearts were troubled.
They had food, but none of them had any appetite.
Shen Yanxiao observed their reactions quietly. The villagers that came with Uncle Nine did not know much about demons, so they were not worried.
However, the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group was quite disturbed by the situation.
Shen Yanxiao sat in the corner with her hands under her chin. It was what she had expected.
She believed that Du Lang and the mercenaries would eventually accept that they had allied with the demons. Humans and demons would live together in the Sun Never Sets.
“You are challenging their psychological endurance.” All was quiet in the dead of night. Xiu, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said to Shen Yanxiao.
“I didn’t want this, either. But I think Du Lang and his people will eventually accept it. They had already accepted the fact that I am a warlock. Mundane concepts do not easily manipulate them.” Shen Yanxiao bent her knees and put her chin on them as she gazed at the dark clouds in the sky.
At the Forsaken Land, the lingering dark clouds would always blot out the sky; no starlight could come through.
“Xiu, do you think that humans and demons can exist together?”
“It has never happened.”
“Demons and humans are mortal enemies, but demons only eat humans for their survival. However, the demons will not need to do that if I can provide them with real food.” The laws of nature naturally controlled nature’s rules, and it could be changed once the rules of that law were found.
“Do you think humans will set aside the prejudice they hold against demons?”
“Gradually, they will.” Shen Yanxiao felt a bit tired. Her eyelids slowly closed as she surrendered to her dreams.
