Chapter 808: Arrived At The Royal Palace Of The Demon Clan
"Certainly not," Shen Xian replied, his tone dripping with scorn, as if the very idea of consuming human flesh was beneath him.
"I was under the impression that demons feast on human flesh, the meat of magical beasts, and the essence of other living beings," she said, undeterred by his derision and eager to glean more insight from him.
"How repulsive! Why on earth would we ever eat humans?" His incredulity was palpable, as if the mere suggestion was a grave insult to his kind.
Shenlian Yingyue couldn’t help but feel a faint twitch of her lips at his reaction. Why did he regard her words with such revulsion?
"Pah! The thought of feasting on the flesh and blood of a race so universally deemed the weakest is utterly disgusting. If we’re to indulge in anything, it would be the meat of dragons or phoenixes," Shen Xian declared, crossing his arms with a frown, his face contorting slightly in visible distaste.
Shenlian Yingyue was momentarily speechless. It became evident that the demon race held a profound disdain for humans. The fact that the idea of eating human flesh revolted Shen Xian so much was a testament to his sincerity.
"What is your response? We certainly don’t regard you mortals highly," he said sarcastically. What right did such a feeble race have to concern him? He found the notion of even looking down upon them laughable.
Tilting her head slightly, she pondered his words. While harsh, they reflected a bittersweet reality: other races rarely acknowledged human beings.
"What, then, do demons consume apart from fruits and vegetables?" she asked, her curiosity driving her inquiry.
