I Won't Eat You

Chapter 21: I'm not going to eat you anyway

"Let me go, I want to go home!"

"You damned souls, I hate you!"

"Liars, all of you are liars! I don't want to cultivate Immortal Arts anymore, can you please just let me go home?"

"..."

More than ten young boys and girls cried incessantly. After all, they were only fifteen or sixteen years old, and it was difficult to calm down after such a sudden change. They still had a lot of childishness about them.

However, Lu Xun and Chang Er were not going to indulge them!

Puchi!

Lu Xun suddenly extended a finger, which darted out like lightning and pierced the head of a young boy, splattering blood.

This gory scene immediately calmed the previously noisy boys and girls, their eyes clearing.

"Noisy."

"Dare to say another word, and this will be your fate!"

Lu Xun glared, warning them coldly.

This made the already terrified boys and girls turn pale. Especially after witnessing the scene before their eyes, they were so scared they began to tremble.

That was a living person, and he was just killed with a single finger!

For a moment, the boys and girls who had been crying huddled together, holding back their sobs and fear, not daring to make a sound.

Seeing this, Lu Xun was finally satisfied.

"Disciple Qin Yang greets you, senior brothers."

"I was taken in by Master today. I hope you senior brothers will take care of me in the future!"

Qin Yang stepped forward and said.

Lu Xun and Chang Er both turned their heads, sizing him up.

"To be Master's fourth disciple, you must have some skill and extraordinary qualities. That's good."

"Where is Bai Feng? Why isn't he here?"

Lu Xun said indifferently, not delving further into Qin Yang's background. It wasn't his place.

"I don't know. Maybe he's dead."

"..."

Lu Xun and Chang Er exchanged a glance. After a brief moment of surprise, their expressions became completely calm.

They had seen this kind of situation many times.

"It seems you really have some skill. That's good. We don't keep idlers here!"

With that, Lu Xun dragged the corpse of the person he had just killed with a finger and walked towards his residence.

Chang Er chuckled sinisterly, patted Qin Yang's shoulder, "Junior brother, these people are yours to arrange."

"Also, come with me."

Chang Er gestured for one of the girls they had brought back to follow him.

Under extreme fear, the girl trembled, her pleading gaze falling on Chang Er, then on Qin Yang. Finally, she fell into despair and fainted, her eyes rolling back.

"Hmph, useless."

"Scared unconscious already? You think you're safe now?"

Chang Er said mercilessly, grabbing the unconscious girl and dragging her into his cave dwelling.

A moment later, an extremely piercing scream echoed out, startling the boys and girls left with Qin Yang. Tears of fear welled up in their eyes!

Qin Yang could do nothing about this.

Even he himself was looking for a way out, how could he possibly care about the lives of others?

"You guys, follow me."

Qin Yang sighed inwardly, signaling the boys and girls in front of him to follow.

Little did they know, these words were no different from the devil whispering in their ears!

As fierce as Lu Xun and Chang Er were, they only took one person away. This Qin Yang, however, was taking all of them at once.

A great demon! This was definitely a great demon who deserved to die a thousand deaths!

Wahhh.

Someone immediately fell to the ground and burst into tears, emitting a foul and pungent odor!

"I'm not going, I don't want to be eaten."

"Please, demon, let us go. Don't you have any conscience at all? Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?!"

Someone wailed, their mind clearly having collapsed.

Qin Yang's head immediately started to ache.

What is going on? Why does it seem like I'm worse than Lu Xun and Chang Er?

"Shut up."

"Who said I was going to eat you? Don't overreact."

Qin Yang said speechlessly.

His words had a surprisingly good effect. The boy who had been terrified and crying immediately stopped, looking at Qin Yang pitifully, as if asking if he really wouldn't eat him.

"Let's go, follow me."

Qin Yang led the remaining ten Medicinal Seeds deeper into the cave dwelling, which was also where the other Medicinal Seeds were housed.

Of course, he had been one of them at first.

Only after realizing that Qin Yang truly wouldn't eat them did the young boys and girls finally breathe a sigh of relief. They were also curious to see so many others in the same predicament.

After finishing this, Qin Yang prepared to leave.

But he quickly noticed a special presence among the new group of young boys and girls.

In fact, when Lu Xun and Chang Er brought them back, he had already noticed one of the girls who wasn't crying or making a fuss, but was remarkably calm.

However, the hatred and unwillingness in her eyes couldn't be hidden, making her easy to read.

This one is quite different.

Judging by her luxurious clothing and demeanor, she's clearly from a wealthy family.

And she's obviously different from the others who haven't seen the world; she's not just pretending to be calm!

Qin Yang speculated.

He immediately guessed that the girl's background was likely not simple.

As for why she was tricked into coming here, that was unknown.

Qin Yang was interested in finding out more.

"You, come here."

He pointed at the young girl in purple clothes.

Realizing he was calling her, the girl in purple gritted her teeth, her delicate hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, her face filled with defiance as she stared fixedly at Qin Yang!

"What is it? I'm not going to eat you."

"Your gaze is very dangerous."

Qin Yang said with some annoyance.

He wasn't an evil cultivator, and he was in this demonic den out of necessity. Why did everyone hate him so much?

"Pfft."

"Demon! I'll never believe your lies. Kill me or skin me as you please. If I flinch, I'm not a disciple of the Yunqing Sect!"

The girl in purple gritted her teeth, looking as if she were about to meet her doom.

A Yunqing Sect disciple?!

Qin Yang's eyes lit up. He hadn't misjudged; this outstanding girl before him truly had an extraordinary background. She was actually a disciple of the Yunqing Sect!

This immediately sparked an idea in his mind.

If he could save this girl in purple, could he gain the trust of the Yunqing Sect and find a way to remove the poison of the Soul Locking Pill?

However, he quickly dismissed this thought.

Setting aside the trouble of saving the girl in purple and gaining the Yunqing Sect's trust, which might even lead to him being directly dealt with as a demonic cultivator, there was also the question of whether the girl in purple would even believe him.

What if the commotion he caused attracted Xuan Chengzi's attention? Wouldn't he be in trouble?

Not feasible, not feasible.
