Chapter 776 - 776 762 Calm Surface Turbulent Undercurrent

Chapter 776: Chapter 762: Calm Surface, Turbulent Undercurrent Chapter 776: Chapter 762: Calm Surface, Turbulent Undercurrent Longhun glanced at Shi Xueqin, saying, “Girl, you’re too naive.”

“Am I?” Shi Xueqin earnestly looked at him.

“Like a glass of plain water, unaware of how the real world operates. Perhaps it’s better that way; the more you understand, the less happiness there is.” Longhun gazed at her absentmindedly.

“Is that really the case?”

“Yes, it really is. So, being naive and knowing nothing is a happy state.”

Shi Xueqin gifted him a slight smile, a gesture always stirring his heart.

Longhun suddenly grew serious, stating, “We are all not naive. There’s darkness in everyone’s heart.”

“Don’t belittle yourself.”

“Truly, perhaps one day, you might consider killing me.”

“How could that ever happen?”

“Nothing is impossible. I am inherently a villain, my hands doomed to be stained with blood. Killing me could save many others.” Longhun slightly laughed.

“Unless I’ve gone mad or possessed, I would never attempt to kill you. It just doesn’t make sense!” Shi Xueqin sweetly smiled.

“Is that so? I even fear that you might devour my heart one day.”

“Ha, never gonna happen. Why would I eat you!”

“Eat something, get some rest, and stop entertaining wild thoughts. The world isn’t as beautiful as you think it is.” Longhun laughed.

“I know Brother Longhun has been through a lot, and your distrust in the world and people is what made you who you are today. But I assure you I’m someone you can trust.”

“You’re right. I, Longhun, indeed don’t trust people. They’re not worth it. You trust because you’re naive. Always be vigilant; anytime you could be devoured, fooled, mocked, abandoned. Only when you’re powerful will others fear you, otherwise, no one will shed a tear over your death.”

“If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be too cruel?”

“That’s reality. Whether you can accept it or not, this world has all sorts of evils, and there’s no defined right or wrong. Like a tiger eating a sheep, you can’t expect the tiger to eat grass.”

“So, you want to be the tiger.”

“Of course, I want to be the tiger.”

“Then, I must be the little lamb.”

Longhun looked at her with a smile, “Actually, being a little lamb like you isn’t too bad. It’s good to be naive and oblivious to the world’s evils, as long as you are happy.”

“As long as I’m with Brother Longhun, I will always be happy.”

“You say that now, but once you witness me killing without batting an eyelid, you won’t be saying the same thing.”

Shi Xueqin shook her head, “No, I think it’s a good thing when you kill the people from the Demon Domain. I need to avenge my father.”

“You’ve never killed a person, you won’t understand. Once you’ve really killed someone, you’ll understand it isn’t fun.” He still remembered how it felt when he killed for the first time; after that, killing didn’t affect him anymore, similar to slaughtering a chicken or a sheep.

“Is that really how it is?”

“Of course, the moment you kill someone, you will no longer be innocent.”

Looking at Longhun, Shi Xueqin asked, “Are you implying that when the time comes, I won’t dare to kill my father’s murderer?”

“What if the one who killed your father didn’t come from the Demon Domain?”

“How is that possible!”

“I’m just saying, what if.”

“People from the Demon Domain came to Dragon Slayer Island, if it’s not them, then who could it be?”

“What if the one who killed your father was me, would you dare to take action?”

Shi Xueqin gently smiled and said, “Brother Longhun, you do have a sense of humor.”

“I’m only saying — what if.”

“Why are we even discussing this!”

“But if it were true, would you dare to act!”

“You’re getting more and more outrageous.”

Before they knew it, it was already midnight.

At that moment, Slaughter Saint and Jing Po came over.

Longhun stood, saying, “Silly girl, go to sleep early and don’t think about anything.”

He then turned towards Slaughter Saint.

“What’s the matter?” Longhun walked towards the darkness.

By the fire, Slaughter Saint opened a map, stating, “This is a canyon. Once we cross it, the path will be smooth. If people from the Demon Domain really intend to attack us, they might possibly choose this location as their ambush point.”

Dragon Soul cast a serious glance at the map and asked, “The Human-beast Clan is around here, isn’t it?”

“Yes, but they are on the other side of the valley entrance. Right now, the people from both the Demon Domain and Xuan Clan are very cautious. They are afraid that we might get past them. We don’t know if they would take action against us.”

“Then can we send a small team to sneak past them?” Dragon Soul looked at the map attentively.

“Probably not viable. Although it would be tomorrow night when they reach the valley entrance. They would send a small group to scout first. It’s nearly impossible for us to send a group over to cross their path and get through the valley entrance first.”

Jing Po said, “If that’s the case, the Human-beast Clan is on the other side. If they ambush us in the valley, it would be difficult for us to lure the Human-beast Clan to come and help.”

But Slaughter Saint said, “No, I do have another strategy here, although I’m not sure if it can work and it’s quite risky. ”

After hearing this, Dragon Soul asked, “What’s the strategy?”

Slaughter Saint marked a spot on the map and said, “According to our disciples, there is a waterfall here. The current is very fierce and plunges down several dozen feet. If we follow the current, we can bypass the valley and still get to the other side.”

After hearing this, Jing Po said, “Are you out of your mind? You want us all to jump off the waterfall? Even if we don’t die, we’ll get seriously hurt. How are we supposed to snatch the Wolf King’s ring then?”

Slaughter Saint hurriedly said, “Of course, if everyone jumps down like that, it would be suicide. But for a few with exceptional agility, they have a chance.”

Dragon Soul fell silent, deep in thought.

“Didn’t the Young Master say he wanted to send over a group of people? Going through the waterfall can transport a small group, which is feasible. And we won’t need many people to lure the Human-beast Clan either.” Slaughter Saint guessed what Dragon Soul was thinking.

Right now, to deal with the Demon Domain and the Xuan Clan, there were only two options – either do it ourselves or find something else to help. However, monsters and the like were already at the rear. The only thing left to consider was the Human-beast Clan. Fire Beauty’s territory was even farther away, so it was impossible for her to come and cause trouble.

Jing Po asked, “Can a dozen of us lure the Human-beast Clan over?”

“Of course, a dozen people wouldn’t be easy, but we still have a number of monsters under our control. If we take advantage of this, it is very likely that we can lure the Human-beast Clan over.”

Dragon Soul raised his head and said, “Jing Po, you take responsibility for this task. Select twenty disciples and find a way over.” He decided to strike first.

Slaughter Saint immediately nodded his approval.

Jing Po said apprehensively, “But we don’t know if the people from the Demon Domain will really ambush us in the valley.”

Dragon Soul said firmly, “They most probably will.” He was quite convinced,if it were him, he would have become restless and devised a plan. Guo Mingyu was far from being a complete fool, he was sure of it. Even if they did not opt for this, luring the Human-beast Clan to deal with Guo Mingyu was still a wise decision.

Jing Po understood and said, “If that’s the case, we can plan it out properly.”

Dragon Soul said, “Slaughter Saint, you first take the team over; when you are there, inform me. Follow my orders in everything.”

“Understood.” Slaughter Saint had already gone to choose the team.

For Shen Shang, returning home meant getting an earful from his mother. If it weren’t for his sister-in-law, he reckoned she might have broken his legs. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He thought those three girls were really beautiful. Letting them slip through his fingers like that was too frustrating.

He ran to the great hall for some peace and quiet, while at the same time discussing the matter with the Demon God and Gui Tu, who were also there.

As soon as Shen Shang came in, he blurted out, “My boss, are we really just going to let those guys go?” What he really wanted to say was – are we going to let those three little girls get away like that!

“What are you saying? Do you want us to take our guys and storm into the third ring? We have an agreement not to go into the third ring unless given consent,” Gui Tu said.

“By the time they give consent, the cooked duck will have flown away.”

Gui Tu said, “Those three little girls are indeed very pretty. It’s good that you’re safe. Just live a good life and stop messing with your wife.”

“That brat is very bad. I must seek revenge.” It was due to the words that Ye Chen said when leaving – they had given his mother a handle on him.

Shen Shang continued, “At that time, our boss should have caught them. Who are we afraid of if we fight them?”

“The kid’s martial arts are very good, he is not simple at all. What’s important is if they were at the entrance of the third ring, even if we had the upper hand, they could still retreat. You wouldn’t be able to follow them into the third ring, so the fight would be useless,” the Demon God said.

“So we’re just going to pretend nothing happened?”

“Are you still thinking about those three girls?” Gui Tu asked.

“It just feels too infuriating. We caught a group that might turn the tide of the battle and they were saved by that guy. If we swallow our anger like this, it’ll be too much of a cowardly action,” Shen Shang said.

Gui Tu laughed and asked, “So Third Brother, what are your plans?”

Shen Shang answered, “Right, we can’t go in, but it doesn’t mean there’s no solution.” He has a good relationship with the leaders under Fire Beauty, and he believed that if he could persuade them by offering a few benefits, they would help him out.

Gui Tu looked over and asked, “You think of asking Fire Beauty to help deal with them?”

“Right, is that not allowed?” asked Shen Shang. “We can’t persuade the arrogant Fire Beauty, but her subordinates have a good relationship with me. I believe I can persuade them to convince Fire Beauty. By that time, we can let Fire Beauty deal with them and bring back those girls.”

“Are you still thinking about those beauties?”

“Letting them go just like that is such a waste. We can’t let that brat have the last laugh. Absolutely not.”

Gui Tu looked at the Demon God.

“We wait for this situation once every few decades. If we miss it, who knows when the next opportunity will come. They need energy, we can give it to them. They need silver, we can also give it to them,” Shen Shang said.

The Demon God laughed lightly. Shen Shang indeed had a point.

Gui Tu also gave a slight smile and asked, “Do you really think you can persuade those guys to convince Fire Beauty? Fire Beauty is not some Sweet Potato.”

“Don’t worry. Fire Beauty needs a man, preferably one with tender and sparkling skin. I think that kid will definitely catch Fire Beauty’s interest.”
