Feeling the Demonic Qi seeping out of the metal ball, Su Chen knew that the Ancient Devil in Hu Youyou's body must have awakened. But didn't Hu Youyou say that the Ancient Devil was her friend? Why was the Ancient Devil showing signs of going crazy?
Su Chen didn't understand what Hu Youyou was trying to hide, but when he felt Hu Youyou's aura gradually weakening, Su Chen knew that he couldn't leave her to die.
His aura sank, and Su Chen's throat let out a hoarse voice, "Little Devil, how dare you act so recklessly in front of me? Who gave you the guts?"
These words were spoken by Su Chen in the language of the Demon Clan, and at the same time, he activated the power of the Undying Inheritance.
In an instant, the metal ball regained its peace.
The metal ball opened, but Hu Youyou didn't appear. Instead, a long black snake crawled out.
The black snake stuck out its purple tongue and straightened its body. It looked at Su Chen in surprise, as if it couldn't figure out Su Chen's plan.
"You're a Demon?"
The black snake asked carefully.
Su Chen stepped on lightning and instantly appeared in front of the black snake. He grabbed its body and released a powerful pressure from his emotionless eyes.
"Little guy, who gave you the guts to question my identity?"
Su Chen's threats scared the black snake so much that it quickly lowered its head. Although it still didn't know Su Chen's origin, under the suppression of his aura, it already knew that its level was far below him. This person was definitely a high level Demon.
If it was at its peak, it might be able to compete with this person. But now, it was living in this world, and it wasn't even sure if it could see the sun tomorrow. It was no longer qualified to compete with other Demons.
"Honorable Sir, please forgive my presumptuous ignorance."
"Tell me your name."
The black snake said, "My name is Hei Chuan, the second generation Demon Lord of the Demon Space Mountain. I once participated in the War of Gods and was suppressed and sealed by the Divine Heavens Sect's Sword Pavilion."
It was actually a Demon from the Demon Space Mountain.
But what did the second generation Demon Lord mean?
Su Chen couldn't ask directly, so he changed the topic. "What's your relationship with this fox?"
"Hundreds of years ago, I broke free from the seal, but my strength fell drastically. I happened to meet this fox. Seeing that she was kind, I pretended to get close to her and chose her as my host. I absorbed the vitality in her body to recover. Now that my strength is gradually recovering, I no longer need the protection of my host. I plan to devour her …"
Seeing that Su Chen's expression was becoming increasingly unfriendly, Hei Chuan hurriedly said, "Since I've met you here, Hei Chuan naturally wouldn't dare to enjoy the fruit alone. You can devour this fox first and leave some leftovers for me. Hei Chuan will be very grateful."
Well, I was right. It really is the story of the farmer and the snake.
Hu Youyou, oh, Hu Youyou. You're a disgrace to your name. It's fine if you don't know how to trick others, but in the end, you're still tricked by others.
"You really know how to show respect to your seniors," Su Chen said with a faint smile.
Hei Chuan laughed. "To be able to meet you is fate. Now that the Demon Race is not as powerful as before, in order to revive the will of the Demon God, we, the descendants of the Demon Race, should help each other …"
"You're right. Then please go to hell."
Su Chen's eyes were filled with murderous intent. A ray of holy light blasted into Hei Chuan's body.
Hei Chuan's face was filled with disbelief. "You … you're actually from the Three Purities Sect. Why …"
Why would a cultivator from the Three Purities Sect have the aura of the Demon Race?
This was what Hei Chuan wanted to know the most before he died. Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance.
Su Chen directly used the Soul Devouring Technique to absorb Hei Chuan's soul. At the same time, he swept away the accumulated Demon Qi in his body and lit up two acupuncture points.
A moment later, Su Chen walked into the Mixed Yuan Steel Ball and saw Hu Youyou still lying on the blanket. Her chest rose and fell slightly. She had already fallen asleep.
Su Chen carried her out of the steel ball and put her on the ground. He took out a bottle of Life-prolonging Pills and fed it to her. At the same time, he injected his spiritual power into Hu Youyou's body to absorb the remaining Demon Qi in her body. At the same time, he activated the power of the Divine Glyph to help her repair her internal organs and meridians and strengthen her sea of consciousness.
Under the repair, Hu Youyou's life aura also began to strongly recover.
Although it wasn't at a normal level, in her current condition, it shouldn't be a problem for her to live for a few more years.
"I … where's Little Black?"
Hu Youyou slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she cared about was not her body, but the poisonous snake.
Su Chen's lips and teeth slightly moved. He wanted to directly tell her that the black snake wanted to devour her, but Su Chen changed his mind. If this fact was revealed in front of Hu Youyou, it might be too heavy a blow to her.
Therefore, Su Chen told a white lie and told Hu Youyou that her 'old friend' Little Black had recovered and left her.
After hearing the news of Little Black's departure, Hu Youyou was still a little sad. In her heart, she really treated the black snake as a friend.
Su Chen secretly shook his head. If Hu Youyou was a little girl who didn't have much experience in the world, he would definitely mercilessly scold her until she woke up. He would let her understand the consequences of her senseless kindness, but Hu Youyou wasn't.
She was already an elder who could die at any time. Su Chen didn't want to hurt her at this time.
Some kindness might come out of stupidity, but if it could make him happy, then it was meaningful.
"Young man, you don't need to comfort me. Although I'm old, I'm not muddle-headed. I already knew that Little Black wanted to eat me."
Hu Youyou suddenly said. She had a smile on her face, and like a loving grandmother, she stroked Su Chen's head.
Su Chen was extremely shocked.
"Since you know the cruelty of the Demon Race, why did you take it in?"
Hu Youyou said calmly, "There's no reason. I just thought it was pitiful. Perhaps it was deliberately pretending to be pitiful, but I saw it and couldn't bear it, so I decided to stay. Even if one day I end up as its meal, that's what I deserve. That's all."
"You …"
For a moment, Su Chen didn't know what to say. Hu Youyou, Hu Youyou, this old fox really wasn't an ordinary maverick.
Hu Youyou patted Su Chen's shoulder with a smile, "Young man, weighing the pros and cons is something everyone will do. But sometimes, letting go of the pros and cons and following your heart is also very important. People are born to die, and their whole life is just a few dozen years, a few hundred years, or even a few thousand years. Even if you cross the sea of bitterness and reach the shore, the road ahead is still uncertain. If you think too much, you will fall into the trap of gains and losses. Why bother?"
After saying that, Hu Youyou carried her tonic soup back to the floating ship to rest.
Su Chen looked at the moonlight with a blank face. He suddenly felt some admiration for Hu Youyou. The title of the Great Sage of the Fox Race was not for nothing.
