Chapter 1124: Chapter 1124: The Difference Between Human and Demon
Su Chengyu found it somewhat strange and turned his head to look at the Yellow Dog Demon that had transformed into a human form.
But he just walked past Su Chengyu as if nothing had happened.
Before Su Chengyu could figure out what was going on, the demons living there had already sped up their actions, closing the encircling net and completely blocking all of Su Chengyu’s retreats, even underground there were demons lying in ambush.
What’s going on? Have they noticed me?
"Who are you? What brings you to our JinPing?"
A burly middle-aged man emerged from among the demons, clad in attire that exuded a strong air of the Showa era, giving off a powerful sense of the times.
Su Chengyu knew that with the opponent’s Monster Emperor Level strength, it wasn’t surprising if he was born in even more ancient times.
"Is JinPing not open to visitors?"
Su Chengyu spoke evenly, without a hint of awkwardness despite being surrounded by a group.
If the others realized who he was, talking his way out of this situation would likely be useless, but if they didn’t, showing weakness might only embolden them further.
"It’s not that you can’t visit, but there are certain protocols to be observed, especially if you’re here for the He Mao Clan. There must be gifts you’ve prepared for this occasion, right?"
Su Chengyu was startled for a moment, then realized that the "home master" the other party referred to was indeed the He Mao Clan.
These demons must be branches aligned with the He Mao Clan, leveraging on them to legitimately reside in Dongying.
Su Chengyu’s eyes flickered, and he immediately said, "I apologize, I’m new here and wasn’t quite aware of the protocols..."
Before he could finish, the middle-aged man furrowed his brows, already showing signs of wanting to take action.
In the next second, Su Chengyu quickly produced a bottle of Mermaid Tear Pearl, and said softly, "This is from the Huawei Dragon Carp Clan, the Mermaid Tear Pearl, equivalent to the Heavenly Pill. Please help distribute it to everyone as a greeting gift."
Upon leaving Liuli Island, Hua Qian had specially asked Chiyomiko to save several bottles of Huawei Tear Beads for him, and Su Chengyu had not expected them to come in handy at this place.
The group surrounding Su Chengyu varied in strength and realm, the most crucial factor being the sheer number of them.
For Su Chengyu to take care of everyone without omission, elixirs were naturally the best choice.
The middle-aged man looked up at Su Chengyu in surprise, the value of the Huawei Tear Beads wasn’t high, but they were rare!
As members of the Demon Clan, they naturally knew that there were no Huawei Dragon Carp Clan within the entirety of Dongying, and the value of these beads in Dongying was far greater than the equivalent Heavenly Pill itself.
Sure enough, when the surrounding demons heard Su Chengyu’s words, their eyes lit up.
For those who could make use of it, there was no need to mention, but even for those who couldn’t, keeping it as a collectible or reselling it was a very good choice.
However, the middle-aged man didn’t immediately accept the gift, seemingly hesitant about something, prompting Su Chengyu, who sensed this hesitation, to telepathically convey his message.
"Brother, I’ll have to trouble you with the distribution of the beads. I’m indeed new here and am not very familiar with the rules of JinPing. Please rest assured, Brother, and thank you for your help. I have other gifts prepared specially for you."
Upon hearing this, the last trace of hesitancy on the middle-aged man’s face disappeared, and he came closer to Su Chengyu and said.
"No need for formalities, no need at all, it’s all trivial. We in JinPing are always hospitable, especially to distinguished guests who come from afar like yourself. Oh, by the way, I haven’t asked for your esteemed surname yet."
"Big brother, just call me ChengYu."
"ChengYu? That name sounds somewhat like it belongs to our Demon Clan, I like it. I should be a few years older than you, if you don’t mind, just call me Big Brother Kuronagi."
"Alright, then I’ll have to trouble you, Big Brother Kuronagi."
Su Chengyu spoke with a smile, then handed over a bottle of Mermaid Tear Pearl to Kuronagi.
Kuronagi carelessly tossed the Mermaid Tear Pearl to a confidant nearby: "Divide this item among everyone, I’ll take my newly met brother here to get familiar with the place."
After saying this, Kuronagi, with a smile on his face, was about to leave the place with Su Chengyu. The way he looked at Su Chengyu was clearly as if he were looking at an easy mark.
In Kuronagi’s view, Su Chengyu was most likely a wealthy scion from a rich family, who had surely come to JinPing to butter up to the He Mao Clan.
"Young brother ChengYu, not to scare you, but you are lucky to have met me in JinPing. Otherwise, you would have met with barriers at every turn, and might have found even the main family’s gate inaccessible, not to mention offending many people."
Su Chengyu feigned surprise: "Please enlighten me, Big Brother Kuronagi."
"JinPing might seem peaceful, but underneath it all, there is no shortage of open and covert struggles. There are those who ally with the Shrine faction, and those who declare themselves as a faction led by the Demon Clan. If you’re not careful, and inadvertently offend one side, let alone entering the main family’s gate, you’ll be grateful if you’re not made an enemy by the He Mao Clan."
Su Chengyu nodded and expressed his gratitude: "So, Big Brother Kuronagi belongs to the Demon Clan faction, right?"
Kuronagi shook his head with a finger: "No, no, I stand alone. I’m not like those people who band together. I’m the one officially in charge of guarding JinPing’s safety, as designated by the main family. Anyone who wants to cause trouble in JinPing has to deal with me. Even your meeting with the main family requires my permission; without it, you simply cannot reach the main family’s threshold."
Su Chengyu blinked, and then fully understood.
This guy was a gatekeeper.
Though not of the highest echelon, his strength as an Eighth Grade Demon Emperor and his independent status were enough to cover him.
"Then I must trouble you, Big Brother Kuronagi, to lead the way; I certainly won’t neglect the formalities required by these three factions."
Upon hearing this, Kuronagi’s eyes lit up even more, and he immediately replied: "No need for that, with Big Brother here, they wouldn’t dare to mess around! Rest assured, I felt a connection with you at first sight. Anyone who dares to trouble you, I’ll make sure they roll back home meekly."
Su Chengyu blinked, grasping Kuronagi’s intention. He rummaged through the Cui Xia Ring, and took out a top grade Spiritual Artifact whose level appeared higher than it actually was, and handed it over: "Big Brother Kuronagi, thank you very much."
On seeing the item, Kuronagi’s eyes gleamed, but he still courteously insisted that Su Chengyu was being overly polite, and it wasn’t quite appropriate.
Though clearly a member of the Demon Clan, he bore the demeanor of a seasoned official.
Su Chengyu, witnessing this scene, was slightly startled; not so much by Kuronagi’s actions.
Yet he realized, at that moment, Kuronagi seemed more human than anyone else he knew from the Human Clan.
At that moment, Su Chengyu truly began to ponder.
About the differences between humans and demons, were they really that significant?
