Demoness, where are you Fleeing to?
Chapter 617 - 502

Chapter 617: 502

High above the mountains, Li Xuan continued to ridicule loudly with Shen Kui Lei Yin: "What a pity, what a pity! A few months ago, although King Bashe Chang Ze died in my hands, he died like a hero.

Unexpectedly, after a few months, all the big demons from the prestigious Lord Tongtian’s Court have turned into beings with no balls—"

"Shut up!"

At this moment, a woman’s voice suddenly came from deep within the mountain, accompanied by a huge shadow rushing towards Li Xuan.

Li Xuan’s eyes brightened instantly: "Hongshang!"

Yu Hongchang did not hesitate, she directly threw her ’Four-legged Gilded Universe Star Cauldron’. Simultaneously, she lifted up two ’Xihe Shenchan Mirrors’, casting its light towards the black shadow.

The collision between the huge black shadow and Yu Hongchang’s golden cauldron set off a thunderous tremor.

The ’Four-legged Gilded Universe Star Cauldron’ was immediately knocked six hundred feet away, and the black shadow also halted mid-air, revealing its form.

It was a gigantic serpent with a body reaching a hundred feet long, its entire body covered in black and golden scales. Most of its body was hidden in the mist. The exposed parts didn’t give off the cold, slippery impression of a snake but looked delicate and robust, similar to a dragon. Its eyes were blue, like falling stars.

Being illuminated by those two ’Xihe Shenchan Mirrors’, this giant Bashe was immediately covered in a hefty layer of ice.

Li Xuan and Luo Yan turned into rays of thunder and electric flashes, simultaneously controlling the sword light to pass through the seven-inch part of this giant serpent.

The same thought occurred to both of them that now that the Bashe Queen had shown up, they’d take her down first!

Just as their sword light was about to draw near, Li Xuan suddenly felt a thread of consciousness transmitted from Lei, the Six Tail Fox. His heart tightened, and he immediately shifted his sword upward, skewing the angle of the sword light slightly.

Originally, his strike could have punctured the serpent’s seven-inch part, completely disabling it. But now it only grazed its skin, causing only a surface wound. Luo Yan, who shared a telepathic connection with him, also changed the trajectory of the sword light in the moment Li Xuan intended it to.

Just as they flew past the serpent from above and below, the whole body of this giant serpent burst open!

The force was reminiscent of a nuclear explosion, countless water droplets and ice fragments splattered all around, and a powerful momentum swept across all directions, even managing to stir up a mushroom cloud above them.

Li Xuan was also hit by the explosion, making him feel sick.

Fortunately, as they both managed to avoid the epicentre of the explosion, and both of their speeds were superior. With an acceleration, they were able to leave those bullet-like droplets and ice fragments behind.

Once they retreated to a safe area three thousand feet away and lifted their escape methods, they both looked back at the mushroom-shaped water cloud in a escape worthy manner.

"Thanks, Lei!"

Li Xuan made a point of waving his hand in Jiang Hanyun’s direction. He thought that the explosion, though it couldn’t kill him and Luo Yan, could give Luo Yan some serious injuries.

As for himself, sturdy and durable with a life that could be regenerated, he had nothing to worry about.

Lei, the Six-Tail Fox, also gave a soft call and raised its tail as a response.

Li Xuan then felt something and looked towards the top of the giant mountain. Following his gaze, large amounts of scattered water were condensing and finally formed into a slender figure of a young girl.

"Queen Bashe?" Li Xuan looked at the girl up and down, then said admiringly: "The queen is really generous, a separate body formed by the ’Three Yuan Ren Water’, can be destroyed just by saying so."

Queen Bashe snorted lightly: "If I hadn’t been decisive, I would have been captured and killed by you now."

She also harbored a strong sense of wariness in her heart. This pair of Yangtang Divine Sabers were even faster than she thought.

Dealing with these two men directly and watching from a distance was an entirely different experience.

Under the terrifying speed of the sword strikes, Queen Bashe found it difficult to react correctly in battle.

However, her face showed little change, only that her eyes looking at Li Xuan were particularly fierce: "Speak, what is your intention in coming here? Are you here to exterminate my Bashe clan? Are you not satisfied with killing my brother, but also want to eliminate us all, to nip all future troubles in the bud?"

Li Xuan seemed to think as he looked at the Bashe den in the mountain: "Did the queen anticipate our arrival?"

He had noticed earlier on that he didn’t see a single monster on their way here.

That was not normal, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was known as the kingdom of ten thousand monsters. This place, similar to the previous Rainforest of Hundred Thousand Mountains, was a paradise for demons.

After hearing this, the Queen of Bashe sneered coldly: "A day ago, Suolangqiangba, the eldest son of the Hujiao Dharma King, sent a cryptic message asking for my help. As it happened, I was nearby and fortunate enough to witness your Yangtang Divine Saber mercilessly kill seven generations of Nangebatsangbu.

I thought myself inferior in strength, so I recalled all my subordinates back to the court. Is there anything wrong with that? Besides, I have my people planted in the Folun Temple. Now, I’m aware of why you’re here. You’re looking for Duojicairen and Zaxigongbu, aren’t you?"

"So, the Queen already knows of our intentions."

Li Xuan’s eyes were bright, the logic behind the words of the Bashe Queen was flawless.

However, whether she was involved in the prince’s sudden illness remained to be seen—

His face now bore a friendly smile: "As the Queen predicted, we did come for these two Master Lamas. If Your Highness could disclose their whereabouts, I would be eternally grateful."

"Li Xuan, among your people, your audacity must be unmatched. I can’t believe you had the nerve to say that!"

The Queen of Bashe, with her hands behind her back, looked at Li Xuan with mocking eyes. "You have a short memory, just a while ago; you said you were my brother’s enemy. Do you think I will help you? Or does your so-called gratitude include the opportunity for me to kill you?"

Li Xuan, nonchalantly touched his nose: "Well said, well said! Your Highness, it’s true that our families are mortal enemies, but I perceive the Queen as benevolent and amiable, and not altogether averse to discussion. In fact, Your Highness might as well consider this as a transaction."

"A transaction?" The Queen of Bashe raised her eyebrow.

"Yes, a transaction. In this world, everything has a price." Li Xuan ’whooshed’ open the Song of Righteousness fan and gently waved it in front of his chest: "A transaction is an exchange of equivalents, a give-and-take. If it benefits both parties, why not? Your Highness could put a price or a condition for the whereabouts of these two, and let’s see if I can accept it.

Of course, I value my life too much to give it up. Other conditions or material wealth such as silver, Your Highness may propose."

The Queen of Bashe couldn’t help but laugh in sheer incredulity. Following that, her expression shifted and she said coldly: "If you want to know the whereabouts of these two from me, it’s not entirely impossible. As long as you agree to do one thing for me, I may even bring them directly to you."

Li Xuan’s spirit immediately lifted. "Your Highness, please do tell."

Yu Hongchang and Luo Yan, standing behind him, joy sparkled in their eyes. They thought to themselves that this Bashe Queen wasn’t too hard to fool.

But soon thereafter, the color drained from their faces.

"I do not need silver, nor any earthly treasures. All I need is you!"

The Queen of Bashe pointed at Li Xuan: "Mate with me until I conceive."

Once she said this, all the girls present, along with the Azure Phoenix Niulang and Lei, the Six-Tail Fox, stood dumbfounded.

Jiang Hanyun’s jaw dropped, she looked at the Bashe Queen in sheer incredulity.

Li Xuan’s face hardened, after a long moment of silence, he managed a forced smile: "Ha ha, I am overwhelmed by the Queen’s affection. But as you conceded, we are enemies who have wronged each other’s siblings. Isn’t it inappropriate for the queen to disregard this blood feud and become intimate with an enemy?"

"What are you talking about?" The Bashe Queen’s eyebrows tightened, her displeasure interrupting Li Xuan: "I’m only interested in your breed, which can give me the strongest and most talented child to inherit my Bashe Court.

You were able to kill my brother and possess such cultivation and Wuyi at this level. Among humans, no! Among all creatures in this world, your talents are undoubtedly the finest and therefore sufficient to be the father of my child."

Li Xuan’s heart was torn, mixed feelings arose in him. So, she was interested only in his genes, she hadn’t actually fallen for him - but that seeming truth made it even harder to accept.

Also, wasn’t there sexual isolation in this world? Can humans and snakes even procreate?

Li Xuan vigorously shook his head, dispelling the intrusive thoughts popping up in his mind and exhaled heavily: "Please, Your Highness, choose another condition. This matter of mating and procreation, I simply cannot accept. Also, we belong to different species, human and snake. This is unthinkable and absurd."

"What’s so absurd about it? Do you loathe the fact that I am a snake? My Bashe clan is not only of divine beasts but also descendants of Nvwa. Don’t you humans regard Nvwa as your ancestor?"

The Queen of Bashe chuckled: "This isn’t unprecedented, I remember there was a snake demon in Qiantang River during the era of former Zhao, who had offspring with humans. If you are unwilling, just say it, you don’t need an excuse."

Li Xuan thought that these situations were not comparable. But just as he wanted to argue, the Bashe Queen’s figure disintegrated into countless droplets and seeped into the mountain.

"In any case, that’s my condition. If you don’t accept it, so be it. If you, Li Xuan, have the guts, you may as well attack my court directly. Let’s see if you can force me to reveal it."

When the Bashe Queen’s figure and aura had completely vanished, Li Xuan rubbed his forehead in exasperation. He turned around to find the girls behind him staring at him unblinkingly.

He glared back at them: "Stop staring at me like that, it’s not my fault that I’m handsome and charming."
