Chapter 771: Demon King Shi and Demon Prince Xie
At first, several men was confused, unprepared to let her grant this demon an opportunity to speak. Anyone who dared insult their beloved, intentional or not, deserved to face the consequences. However, upon hearing the demon’s admission, they narrowed their eyes in contemplation.
The dark intentions they had aimed at this demon began to wane. They studied her, noting the calmness etched on her face, and their gazes flickered with curiosity.
Shenlian Yingyue ensured there was no deceit in the demon’s words by tossing a pill into his mouth. While the standard pill bore no effect on demons, this particular one, crafted from Spiritual Water and Miracle Water, possessed properties that could mend the wounds of beasts, potentially alleviating his suffering.
As expected, the demon’s pain began to subside, and his wounds visibly improved. He no longer appeared as an empty shell or a wholly sorrowful creature.
"What did you just give me?" the black-haired demon inquired, astonished. He anticipated it would take him months to recuperate, but his current state suggested he might fully heal within days.
"I don’t remember knocking your senses away," she replied coolly.
"I’m not an idiot, I’m asking what’s in that pill," the demon’s lips twisted in a mix of annoyance and bewilderment.
She remained silent, and the demon realized he shouldn’t have pressed her. It was a kindness on her part to let him leave, so how could he expect her to share her own hidden truths? Just when he feared he had crossed a line and braced himself for her wrath, she finally said something.
"Regardless of the pain you may have experienced from those who are supposed to care for you, always cherish yourself and recognize your worth. Don’t allow their betrayals to hold you captive. There are many trustworthy individuals in the world, and one day, you will meet one who truly deserves your trust," She couldn’t quite grasp why she felt compelled to utter these words to a demon, an entity commonly regarded as the enemy of humankind, yet the urge overtook her.
