"Yeah, you little brat. You always use my power to do bad things. How could I not wake up?" The fiend snapped.
"Hey, what do you mean bad things?
At that time, I was in the Jianghu to save someone, okay?
There's a saying that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Haven't you heard of it?
Besides, it's just a little Evil Qi. Do you have to be so stingy? You're one of the two Great Demon Sovereigns in ancient times. Look at how petty you are. "Qin Shi was unconvinced.
Hearing this, the fiend got even angrier. "Bullshit, you little kid. Is this how a seven-story pagoda is built?
If you have the ability, then go save people yourself. "
"I …!" Qin Shi clicked his tongue. In the end, he said shamelessly, "That's right. I don't have the ability.
That's why you used your power. Isn't that right, Heaven Devouring Demon Sovereign? "
"Hmph, that's more like it."
The fiend snorted. "But I heard you say at the banquet that you're going to save your brother?
I advise you to give up. "
"Why?" Qin Shi suddenly perked up.
"Why?
Do you still need to ask?
Zhe Tian isn't someone a brat like you can mess with. If you really provoke him, not only will you not be able to save your brother, but you'll also die. Give up. "
"No, impossible!"
Qin Shi's voice turned cold. "Even if I die, I won't give up. I will save Feng Hen. He's sacrificed too much for me and the Qin family. I, Qin Shi, am not an ungrateful person."
The fiend frowned. "Hmph, reckless guy. Do whatever you want. But let me remind you, if you die in the end, don't regret it. Don't blame me for not warning you."
"I won't regret it, and I won't blame you. It's just like Sister Yu told me to activate the jade. You saved my life, so I won't activate it. I won't be ungrateful, and I see you as my brother." Qin Shi said seriously.
"Brother?"
The demon looked at Qin Shi strangely and said, "Haha, what an interesting fellow. Don't you know who I am?
I am one of the Ancient Ferocious Devils. You, a human, want to be brothers with a devil? "
"So what if he's a devil?
Who said humans and demons couldn't be brothers?
I refuse to believe that. Even if we can't do it, let's start a different kind of brotherhood, "Qin Shi said resolutely.
The evil devil couldn't help but become absent-minded. "Stinking brat, your words are so pretentious. But let me warn you, don't even think about flattering me and getting close to me."
"Who's trying to get close to you? I'm serious."
Qin Shi's determination moved the demon, he could feel Qin Shi's sincerity, Qin Shi really wanted to be his brother.
The evil devil was quiet for a moment. Finally, it opened its mouth, "Humph, that will depend on whether you have the ability to do so. I am not someone who can become brothers with just anyone. If you want to be my brother, you must at least be an overlord of this world."
Hearing that, Qin Shi was overjoyed. He laughed without fear, "Just you wait. For the sake of being your brother, for the sake of our brotherhood, I will definitely become an overlord in this world."
Looking at Qin Shi's solemn expression, a strange light flashed in the demon's eyes. He couldn't help but think back to three years ago, when Qin Shi was still a trash with his spirit meridians broken. He was chased by Bai Yutang in the back mountains of Desolate Town and couldn't fight back at all.
Now, three years had passed, and Qin Shi had become the number one person in the Scarlet Flame Empire who was revered by tens of thousands of people, someone who could look down on the vast territory.
He had really grown.
"Stinking brat, I hope that one day, you will really be qualified to be my brother. Let me also be able to witness the different brotherhood that you speak of." The demon's heart flashed a bit, an emotion that he had never felt in the tens of thousands of years he had been a demon.
Seeing that the demon didn't say anything, Qin Shi said, "That's right, demon, now that you've woken up, does that mean that your injuries have completely recovered?"
"How is that possible?"
The demon shook his head, "Right now, I'm not even one percent of my peak state. I can only barely maintain my consciousness."
"What?
One percent? "
Qin Shi was greatly shocked. He rubbed the corner of his mouth and thought to himself, "Is this good? This one percent of emotion is enough to make the Blood Shaman unable to retaliate against him. If he were to recover to his peak, just how terrifying would he be? No wonder it was said that thirty thousand years ago, Devouring Heaven and Zhe Tian both had the power to destroy the world."
"Then how can your injuries be healed?" Qin Shi asked.
"Heal?
Why, you want to help me? "
"Of course, I already said that I see you as my brother."
"You brat, tell me honestly, what are you thinking? Aren't you afraid that I'll take over your body after I recover?" The demon scolded with a smile.
Qin Shi shook his head solemnly. "I've said it before. You saved my life, so I have to repay you. Even if you want to possess me, I'll accept it. However, I don't think you will."
"You …!"
The demon choked and opened his mouth, then said helplessly, "Haha, alright, you're going to say everything yourself?
Hmph, stinking brat, don't think that I won't. When the time comes, you'll regret it. "
"Then we'll talk after you recover. I'm not a person who likes to think too far ahead. Let's talk about how to heal your injuries first." Qin Shi rubbed his nose.
The Fiend Devil nodded its head. "Originally, I should have been able to recover a bit after devouring that Void Ancient Devil's body. I didn't expect him to self-destruct in the end. However, I can still heal my injuries with the help of these demonic creatures. If there aren't any major problems after I wake up, I won't sleep anymore. If I sense anything else, just help me snatch it."
"Demonic creatures?"
Qin Shi agreed, "Alright, if you sense anything, just tell me. No matter what, I'll definitely help you take it."
"Hmph, I'll tell you first, don't think that I'll be grateful to you just because you're doing this. I won't." The demon didn't mean what it said.
"You're so unreasonable."
Qin Shi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "That's right, with your current cultivation, what level can you reach?"
"My cultivation?
The Five Heavens realm. When I fought against that Void Ancient Devil, it was mainly because of the bloodline suppression. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to deal with it so easily. "The demon didn't mince words. Instead, it asked," Why are you asking this? "
"Of course I have to ask. You asked me to help you find a demonic creature to heal your injuries, but you don't even thank me. I need to know how strong you are. If I meet an enemy I can't defeat, I'll have you help me." Qin Shi smiled evilly and shrugged.
"You …!" The demon scolded itself for being careless. "You're scheming against me again!"
"Haha, how can this be called scheming? This is called cooperation. Cooperation, do you understand?!"
"I don't understand. In any case, you're scheming against me!"
When the demon lost its temper, it was like a child who had not experienced much of the world. Its pouting was extremely cute, causing Qin Shi to burst into laughter.
Amidst the laughter, Qin Shi's internal injuries were aggravated, and he coughed out a mouthful of blood.
When the demon smelled the faint scent of blood, it suddenly frowned and grabbed Qin Shi's wrist. It revealed a strange expression and said, "Huh? The demonic blood in your body is being suppressed?"
Qin Shi did not hide it and said, "Yes, it's the Human Emperor Demonic Subduing Bead."
"Human Emperor?"
The demon glared at Xiao Chen, and a baleful aura surged out. It said angrily, "Humph! I knew it. In this world, only that old fart can suppress my demonic blood."
Feeling the demon's rage, Qin Shi smiled bitterly and said, "Hey, you're scolding my ancestor right in front of me. Isn't that a little inappropriate? Even if it's a little taboo, it would be fine."
"What about your ancestor? If you dare to speak out of turn, I'll scold you too!" The demon lost its temper.
"Fine, scold him all you want. Anyway, I don't know him." Qin Shi curled his lips.
Unexpectedly, the demon really did scold him for a long time. It looked like it had several lifetimes of enmity with the Human Emperor. No, it seemed like the two of them had several lifetimes of enmity to begin with.
Fortunately, the demon did not implicate Qin Shi in its anger towards the Human Emperor. After scolding for at least the time for half an incense stick to burn, it stopped and said, "Damn it, I'm tired from scolding. Do you have any water for me to drink?"
"…!" Qin Shi's forehead was full of cold sweat. "You still need water?"
"Nonsense. Hurry up, I'm dying of thirst."
"Fine, fine, fine. I'm afraid of you." Qin Shi let out a long sigh and quickly went into the room to take out a cup of water and handed it to the demon.
After receiving the cup, the demon drank it in one gulp. Only then did it start scolding Xiao Chen again.
"F * ck, what kind of hatred do you have? Even killing your father and stealing your wife isn't as bad as this, right?"
Qin Shi squinted his eyes. Moreover, he was really impressed by the demon's eloquence. After scolding for so long, it actually didn't repeat anything. Qin Shi thought to himself, "Looks like in the future when I fight with my enemies, I'll have to let it handle the scolding before the battle."
The demon scolded for another half an incense stick before finally stopping. Panting, it said, "Forget it. Anyway, he's dead. Scolding him won't bring him back to life. I'm tired. I won't scold him anymore."
Qin Shi let out a sigh of relief. "You won't scold him anymore?"
"En, I won't scold him anymore. Let's talk about you."
"Me?"
Qin Shi pointed at himself in surprise. He quickly took a few steps back and said, "Don't. I can't accept your eloquence."
"I'm not scolding you!"
The demon rolled its eyes. It looked at Qin Shi and said, "Tell me about the Human Emperor Demon-Subduing Pearl in your body."
"The Human Emperor Demon-Subduing Pearl. What's there to talk about?
Isn't it able to suppress the Demonic Blood? "Qin Shi frowned.
"Indeed, the Human Emperor Demon-Subduing Pearl contains some Blood Essence from when the Human Emperor was reincarnated. It does have a very strong suppressive effect on the Demonic Blood."
At this point, the demon's voice suddenly became serious. It said, "However, the Human Emperor Demon-Subduing Pearl only suppresses the Demonic Blood. It doesn't really eliminate it. Instead, the Demonic Blood will gradually increase from your dantian under its suppression. If the Human Emperor Demon-Subduing Pearl remains intact, it'll be fine. But if you let it suffer any damage or cracks, the Demonic Blood that has been suppressed for a long time will all burst out. At that time, you'll definitely become a demon. Your soul will be infected by the demonic nature. If it's light, you'll lose your mind. If it's serious, you'll explode and die."
"What?"
Hearing this, Qin Shi's back was full of sweat.
