Ling Ju, standing nearby, was also startled by the sudden scene and instinctively moved closer to Jing Pu.
You He was truly pathetic right now, wailing and crying with his mouth wide open while frantically kowtowing to Jing Pu.
There were still food scraps in You He's mouth, remnants of what he had just chewed and not swallowed. He was already ugly to begin with, and this display made him look utterly non-carbon-based.
He looked so pitiful.
Jing Pu, however, was a bit bewildered. He... he hadn't really done anything to him, had he?
He... he hadn't bullied him, had he?
What was going on??
But soon, Jing Pu snapped back to reality. Right, this guy seemed to have been scared senseless before.
Immediately, Jing Pu quickly stepped forward to help You He up, saying hurriedly:
"Get up, don't be afraid. Didn't you hear the Fairy Maiden say the Demonic Creature is gone?"
Hearing Jing Pu's words, You He cried even louder. I'm really sorry, please stop playing tricks on me, I'm really sorry!
Ling Ju stood by, holding her white rabbit, completely stunned. What... what in the world was happening??
She couldn't understand it at all?!
At the same time, streaks of light appeared in the sky. These lights moved incredibly fast, and in an instant, they arrived above Jing Pu and the other two.
The arrivals were none other than Ling Tiannan and Di Chen, along with their entourage. In fact, the moment the Tribulation Crossing thunderclouds appeared, Ling Tiannan and Di Chen had immediately rushed off to find Jing Pu, wanting to see what he intended.
But upon hearing from the two people grunting and working in the courtyard that Senior Jing Pu had only left about five or six minutes ago, these two instantly guessed that Senior Jing Pu might have sensed something and arrived early.
With Senior Jing Pu present, Ling Tiannan and Di Chen were no longer afraid and immediately brought their people.
However, the current scene... Ling Tiannan and the others couldn't understand it at all. What... what had happened here??!
A Demonic Creature at the peak of Spirit Transformation was kneeling on the ground, refusing to get up, frantically kowtowing to Senior Jing Pu and muttering incomprehensible words.
Something about "stop playing with me" and "stop it"...
Senior Jing Pu... did he do something strange to this peak Spirit Transformation Demonic Creature?
But that didn't seem right either. It had only been about ten minutes, not enough time?
Or perhaps... Senior Jing Pu... was just that fast?
And just as Ling Tiannan, Di Chen, Ling Ju, and the others were trying to figure out what was going on, something even more astonishing happened: the peak Spirit Transformation Demonic Creature suddenly gagged, and then spat out a Pill that emitted a faint black glow.
Then, to everyone's stunned gaze, You He presented the black Pill with both hands to Jing Pu, who was still trying to pull him up. He wailed, "Senior, please take this. Please spare me, I was truly wrong."
Looking at the scene before them, everyone felt disbelief. This was a Demon Pill!!
Something unique to the Demon Race. The reason why the Human Race and Monster Race on the lower continent had formed an alliance to fight against the Demon Race was precisely because of this unique Demon Pill.
A Demon Pill was something these Demonic Creatures condensed from the day they began cultivating. The longer the time, the stronger the Demon Pill became, capable of accelerating the cultivation speed of its owner.
This was also why the Demon Race could, on its own, contend against both the Human Race and the Monster Race.
Although the Northern Province had the presence of the Hall Master Yu Xiu, the Demon Race did not dare to attack. However, relying solely on Hall Master Yu Xiu, humanity could only defend itself and was unable to attack the Demon Race, merely passively defending.
Because the Demon Race possessed Demon Pills, their cultivation speed was incredibly fast, and the number of powerful experts among them was greater than that of the Human Race and Monster Race combined.
However, Demon Pills were extremely difficult to obtain. Given the deep-seated enmity between humans and demons, these Demonic Creatures would absolutely destroy their Demon Pills rather than hand them over, even if they were dying.
There was only one way to obtain these precious Demon Pills: to strike a fatal blow before the Demonic Creature could react!
This was the only way. But then again, how powerful could a Demonic Creature that was killed in a single blow truly be?
And the scene today was truly the first time Ling Tiannan and the others had ever witnessed something like this: a Demonic Creature willingly spitting out its Demon Pill, apologizing, and begging someone to accept it.
For a moment, after being stunned, everyone understood.
Senior... Senior was truly someone worthy of admiration from the inside out!
No wonder... no wonder Senior didn't directly kill this Demonic Creature just now. Senior was educating this Demonic Creature, making it genuinely submit!
Yes... Senior was so powerful, killing this Demonic Creature would have been too easy. But what was the point of killing it?
This Demonic Creature was at the peak of Spirit Transformation. Although peak Spirit Transformation demons were not as rare as humans, it was still a significant figure.
Furthermore, it was on the verge of Tribulation Crossing. Such a creature's status within the Demon Race was likely not low. Killing it directly would only escalate the conflict between the Demon Race and humanity.
Senior's actions were truly noble. Senior's intentions were beyond the comprehension of us mortals.
Ling Ju's gaze towards Jing Pu now softened like water. Senior, indeed, no matter what you do, it inspires respect...
Meanwhile, Jing Pu was speechless. What were you all looking at??
This person was crying and kneeling, couldn't you come down and help him up??
And what was this thing this guy gave me??!
Jing Pu had been busy trying to pull the guy up earlier and hadn't looked. He just saw the guy lower his head and give him this thing, which was covered in all sorts of food scraps and utterly disgusting.
And, most importantly, if he didn't accept this thing, the guy seemed determined not to get up.
This guy was truly scared senseless. Finally, Jing Pu, with a hint of disgust, accepted the Pill and casually stuffed it into his Space Bag, saying:
"Alright, alright, I'll take it. Get up quickly."
Jing Pu suddenly accepted the Demon Pill. You He was stunned for a moment, then said with a face full of ecstatic joy:
"Senior, you're really letting me go?"
Jing Pu had no idea what this guy meant by constantly asking to be let go, only feeling that the person had been scared silly. He could only go along with the other's wishes and say helplessly:
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm letting you go. Get up quickly."
It was like dealing with a drunkard who claimed he could kill a tiger with a slide tackle; you couldn't argue with him, right?
Upon hearing Jing Pu's words, You He, who had been kneeling on the ground and refusing to get up, suddenly sprang to his feet. He immediately bowed deeply to Jing Pu and said:
"Thank you, Senior. I know I was wrong, and I absolutely won't dare to do it again. Senior, we'll meet again if fate allows."
With that, You He shot out like an arrow, moving extremely fast.
Jing Pu stood in place, blinking in confusion. He watched You He, who had already shot dozens of meters away in an instant, and was utterly bewildered…
Huh??? Running so fast?!
Five minutes later, You He stood on a small hilltop, panting heavily as he looked back in the direction he came from.
At this moment, the panic from earlier was gone from You He's face. Instead, it was replaced by an extremely arrogant and triumphant expression.
"Huh? I was wrong?"
"Where was I wrong??"
"What did I do wrong???"
"I didn't do anything wrong!!!!"
"Just a late-stage Tribulation Crossing, or maybe peak Tribulation Crossing at most, and you dare to treat me like a monkey? Just you wait. When my dad comes out of seclusion…"
Before You He could finish his thoughts, Jing Pu's voice suddenly appeared overhead:
"You ran a bit too fast."
As soon as Jing Pu spoke, You He's face froze. It was as if he had eaten something foul. He raised his head with difficulty to look at the sky. He saw Jing Pu riding a Dragon Horse in the sky, holding a bag of food.
You He's mouth twitched a couple of times. Staring at Jing Pu high above, he was stunned for only a second before stammering with dread:
"Dad… you… you need something else?"
Jing Pu: "???"
