Chapter 1082 - 1082 1068 Would You Consider Me

Chapter 1082: Chapter 1068: Would You Consider Me? Chapter 1082: Chapter 1068: Would You Consider Me? “If you dare, I’ll give you a taste of some poison,” Nangong Yan said to the Black Demonic Spirit.

Red Demonic Spirit looked at Ye Chen and commented, “This girl is quite like a mother monkey.” Guo Yuyun used to resort to this trick against him, a memory he could never erase.

Nangong Yan glanced over and inquired, “Who is a mother monkey?” She looked at him again and added, “That one, did you run up to Sky Mountain to find the Sky Mountain Snow Lotus for her without any regard for your own life?”

Red Demonic Spirit cracked a slight smile and responded, “Who else but her?”

“Why would you say she is like me?”

Red Demonic Spirit explained, “She used to handle me the same way; whenever I disobeyed, she would threaten me with the hermaphrodite drug, always quite ruthless.”

Nangong Yan glanced at Ye Chen, then at the Black Demonic Spirit, and declared, “Don’t think I’m trying to scare you, I’m completely serious.”

The Black Demonic Spirit snorted through his nostrils.

“I realize the temptation of the Sacred Spirit Stone is truly immense and many covet it, but I advise you not to harbor such thoughts, or I won’t go easy on you,” Nangong Yan asserted.

The Black Demonic Spirit paid no heed to him, though he believed the girl could indeed do it. She had brazenly poisoned Shao Hengjiang as proof; she surely had the guts. He questioned, “It’s the middle of the night, do you not want others to rest?”

Nangong Yan glanced at the map, swept her gaze over the surroundings, and noted how this clearly wasn’t a fitting place for rest. “This place stinks. Is this a good place to rest? Let’s keep moving,” she said.

This eerie place was indeed frightening. Although Red Demonic Spirit had lived alone on an island too, he hadn’t encountered such a gloomy place before. He wondered aloud, “There couldn’t be ghosts here, could there?”

“Ghosts, my foot! I never believed in such things,” she dismissed.

Red Demonic Spirit suddenly recalled an event, asking, “A century ago, didn’t Xiyue Island also witness a struggle for the Sacred Spirit Stone?”

Nangong Yan did indeed know something about it. “Yes, indeed, at that time many unscrupulous people set their sights on the Sacred Spirit Stone, wanting to possess it. The ancestors of the Sacred Spirit Sect had just subdued the Moon Beast using the Sacred Spirit Stone when these people showed up. There were so many of them, many from the sect died before they could seal the beast with the Key Box.”

“But with the Key Box in their possession, those people didn’t give up—they wanted to snatch the key from the sect’s elder. Almost all of the sect members were on the brink of death. To protect the Key Box, they fought so the Sacred Spirit Sect elder could escape, leaving many behind.”

“The elder of the Sacred Spirit Sect who fled Xiyue Island still struggled to break free, so using the last vestige of energy within the Key Box, he sealed off Sacred Spirit Island altogether,” she revealed.

“What, sealed?” asked the Red Demonic Spirit.

“Those inside can’t leave, and those outside need the Key Box to enter,” Nangong Yan clarified.

The Red Demonic Spirit was momentarily dumbstruck and remarked, “Then the people of the Sacred Spirit Sect trapped on the island, they also didn’t get out.”

“Right, relatively speaking, it was mostly those with malicious intent who failed to escape. Had they gotten away, the sect elder, with only a few people, wouldn’t have been able to protect the Key Box. If the Key Box had been seized, they would certainly have taken the Sacred Spirit Stone. Had the stone been stolen, then the Evil Spirit and the Moon Beast would have been unleashed. They had no choice but to do this,” Nangong Yan explained.

“It seems the old master of the Sacred Spirit Sect was quite ruthless; how could he treat his own people that way?” said the Black Demonic Spirit.

Nangong Yan replied coolly, “It was indeed a harsh decision, but a necessary one. If they hadn’t done that, even more would have died. By sealing Xiyue Island, all inside were trapped, but the Key Box was safe.

“If they hadn’t done so, the Sacred Spirit Stone would probably be in someone else’s hands by now,” she mused.

“He really is quite harsh, even towards his own,” the Black Demonic Spirit commented coldly.

“There was no choice, but I think he was quite rational. Sometimes there are prices to be paid; these things are unavoidable,” Nangong Yan said.

Red Demonic Spirit asked with a hint of suspicion, “Then could there be descendants of these people on the island?”

Nangong Yan fell silent for a moment.

Black Demonic Spirit remarked, “Not bad at all, one hundred years… If there were women among them, they surely would have descendants. Living in this wild forest, although they may have become a bit wild, they can fend for themselves and even catch fish by the sea. It’s all feasible for them.”

Nangong Yan shook her head and explained, “There were some women, indeed. The Sacred Spirit Sect had quite a few back then.”

Red Demonic Spirit considered the implications and suggested, “That means they might still have descendants.”

“What are you getting at?” Nangong Yan asked.

“I’m saying, we’re not safe. You all came in without adequate knowledge; it’s extremely dangerous,” he cautioned.

Nangong Yan pondered for a moment before proposing, “Maybe they’ve been eaten by the monsters on the island.”

Red Demonic Spirit exclaimed in surprise, “What, monsters? That’s even more dangerous.”

“Oh, stop scaring yourself! You’re not going to die; what’s there to be afraid of?” she said dismissively.

Red Demonic Spirit looked at Nangong Yan and insisted, “There must be others remaining on this island, there must be. Perhaps we’re being watched, and we just don’t know it.”

Black Demonic Spirit added, “Let’s just hope we don’t end up sealed on this island like they did.”

The Red Demonic Spirit looked over and said, “Indeed, it wasn’t easy for me to escape from Earth Demon Island, and I definitely don’t want to be trapped here.”

Nangong Yan said, “Don’t scare yourself, the energy from the Key Box has almost been used up last time.”

“Don’t try to fool me,” the Red Demonic Spirit said.

The Black Demonic Spirit shook its head and said, “I think it’s likely that we’ve been targeted, we just don’t know it.”

“Stop scaring yourself and let’s get moving. I don’t want to waste time,” Nangong Yan said. Suddenly, it became brighter up ahead, and they quickly passed through the dark woods, hearing the sound of water and seeing the moon.

The Black Demonic Spirit, having been exhausted for a while, said, “Can I rest now?”

Ye Chen had been silent all this time. Nangong Yan once again carefully marked the map, which Shao Hengjiang had given her. It had undergone a rough exploration, and although it wasn’t very clear, it was still better than nothing.

“Monkey, why don’t you say a word?” Nangong Yan nudged Ye Chen.

Ye Chen said, “Haven’t all the words been spoken by you lot?”

The Black Demonic Spirit asked, “Are we sleeping in the open?”

“Do you want me to bring you a blanket?” Nangong Yan asked.

“You might as well leave the blanket for the two of you. Squeeze together, it could be warmer,” the Black Demonic Spirit said.

It was still the middle of the night, and the dew was heavy.

Nangong Yan found a pool to wash her face, with the frogs in the pool croaking loudly.

As she returned, Ye Chen had built a large fire, which blazed fiercely. Surrounded by the sound of toads, he leaned against a big tree while Nangong Yan walked over.

Nangong Yan took a sip of water and said, “We’ll set off early tomorrow, and we should be able to catch up with them.”

Ye Chen smiled and said, “Don’t get too excited too soon.” The Red and Black Demonic Spirits coiled around a tree like snakes.

“Do I really seem like that ‘female monkey’ Red Demonic Spirit mentioned?” Nangong Yan asked. Despite the fact that they hadn’t spent much time together, she found herself growing fond of him without realizing it, and she wasn’t sure if that was what liking someone felt like.

“Heh, just as crazy.”

“Is she really crazy?”

The Red Demonic Spirit chuckled and said, “Releasing Demonic Beasts that others had discarded to deal with them, is there anything crazier than that?”

After hearing this, Nangong Yan laughed and said, “Well, when you put it that way, that does sound pretty crazy. Isn’t she afraid those monsters will bite her too?”

The Red Demonic Spirit couldn’t help adding, “They say that because those monsters are crazy enough, that’s why no one can control them. No one can tame them and they act wildly. That’s what makes them vicious when they kill. If they weren’t crazy, how could anyone have such an imagination?”

Nangong Yan nodded and said, “Then this girl really is a bit mad.”

“More than that, she also fed me some drugs she hadn’t even fully researched herself. Honestly, I can’t trust her; she treats me like a guinea pig. If she hadn’t fed me so much poison, how could I have become so effeminate now?”

The Black Demonic Spirit interjected loudly, “You were already effeminate to begin with.”

“Shut up, I’m not effeminate at all,” the Red Demonic Spirit retorted.

Nangong Yan giggled and said, “I don’t think I’m as crazy as you describe.”

The Black Demonic Spirit snorted coldly and said, “You’re not crazy enough? Putting poison on someone’s ship, aren’t you afraid of being caught and paraded in the streets, sold to a brothel? You completely disregard consequences. We must be idiots to follow you into these ventures.”

Nangong Yan pursed her lips.

The Black Demonic Spirit continued, “You also secretly released the Water Dragon. If Shao Hengjiang weren’t a good man, my life would be ruined. You act without leaving any options for yourself; I really take my hat off to you. If you’re not crazy enough with this, then I don’t know what to say.”

Nangong Yan just smiled slyly.

“And breaking into the Wild Forest at night. Even though I’ve lived on an isolated island for many years, I’m still afraid. Only you have such guts, with only this monkey to accompany your madness. Ah, I’ll stop talking now. I need to rest properly; we have a long way to go tomorrow.”

Nangong Yan squeezed Ye Chen and laughingly asked, “So, who’s smarter, me or her?”

“Both are equally foolish,” Ye Chen replied almost without thinking.

“I think you’re the foolish one,” Nangong Yan retorted, wriggling her nose.

She really wanted Ye Chen to compliment her, but Ye Chen was not about to fall for her tricks.

“If you really get better and then go back only to find she’s married someone else, would you consider me?” Nangong Yan didn’t know why she asked that question.
