Look, We Really Mean No Harm

Bai Qiuran, Jiang Lan, and Su Xiangxue stared at a group of pointy-eared humanoid creatures surrounding the edge of the pit without any sense of tension.

These humanoid life forms with pointed ears should be the civilized beings of this Material Plane, but according to the three of them, their energy levels were indeed very low.

Bai Qiuran was very satisfied with the energy results on their bodies, because the strongest among these pointy-eared people were all at the Qi Refining Stage.

"What's going on? What's going on? Let me see--"

Sophia, who had rushed back from the forest, pushed aside her tribesmen and squeezed into the crowd. Then she saw the deep pit and the Sacred Dragon Lord, who had died in the pit.

She gasped, tugged at the sleeve of the clansman beside her, and asked, "Where's my home? Such a big house, I just moved in three months ago, how could it just disappear?"

"This is it."

The male Fairies pointed and loosened the string slightly, then freed his hand and pointed again.

Sophia looked in the direction he was pointing and saw only a charred crater with the remains of some buildings inside, scorched beyond recognition by the flames.

"Belch--"

The Female Yaoguai suddenly convulsed, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

What the hell are they talking about?

Seeing a woman suddenly emerge from the group of pointed-eared people, whispering among themselves before fainting, Bai Qiuran asked curiously.

"I don't know, but we might have messed up."

Su Xiangxue looked around.

"In short, communication is essential; let's learn their language first."

Having said that, the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect released his Spiritual Sense and gently touched the woman who was leading the group of people with pointed ears.

"Hello--"

Su Xiangxue's fluctuations of Consciousness directly reached the woman's mind, startling her.

She drew the bow she had already started to its full extent, and Consciousness used the mysterious power within her body. A bright green Runes appeared on the tip of her arrow, shimmering with green light.

Bai Qiuran very familiar with this Runes. The first Wood-Attribute Runes he learned when he started learning was very similar to this Runes. The Runes that appeared on the tip of the female Fairies's arrow should be a variant of this Runes.

Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue exchanged a glance. It seemed that this Material Plane was indeed related to the Immortal Emperor Shuhua.

"Do not be nervous."

Su Xiangxue continued to transmit her Consciousness telepathically, saying, "We have no ill intentions towards you."

As Su Xiangxue spoke, she secretly activated her Cultivation Technique. The effects of the Phantom Shadow Fragrant Trace Art spread, and the Fairies gradually lowered their guard against her, instead feeling a sense of closeness to her.

The Fairies slowly loosened their grip on the bowstrings, and the arrows nocked on the strings gradually drooped, revealing a look of bewildered admiration.

During this time, Su Xiangxue used her Spiritual Sense to invade the Consciousness of the Fairies and figure out the language of their race.

Then she quickly transmitted this language to Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan through a Spiritual Sense connection.

"You see, we just crashed here by accident; we didn't attack you on our own initiative."

Su Xiangxue glanced at the Sacred Dragon beside her.

"This one doesn't count. We are all very sorry about what happened to it. It was an unfortunate Traffic Accident, and we will compensate its family and friends for their losses."

Their attitude was so sincere, they must not be bad people.

Under the influence of the Phantom Shadow Fragrant Trace Art, the Fairies were in a daze.

But just then, a violent gust of wind suddenly came from the sky, and another enormous creature, over thirty meters long, flapped its wings and fell from the Cloud Top, landing with a loud thud beside the crater.

Its body was covered in fiery red scales. As it landed on the ground, it asked in a muffled voice, "What happened?"

Su Xiangxue's Cultivation Technique slowed slightly, and the Fairies regained their senses, replying, "Lord Shaka, those strange fellows just fell from the sky and hit Lord Losa..."

Upon hearing this, the Behemoths known as "Lord Shaka" stretched its long neck and looked into the pit, its eyes filled with disbelief.

It nudged the corpse of its kind in the pit, but received no response. Overwhelmed with grief, it roared to the heavens, "Lo--Sa--!"

A thunderous roar echoed, and several fiery red Runes appeared on the surface of the Behemoths's body. Flames blazed from its mouth as it roared at Bai Qiuran and the others, "Damn demons! I'll make you pay with your lives!"

Su Xiangxue stepped forward, preparing to use her Phantom Shadow Fragrant Trace Art to bewitch the Lizardfolk, but Bai Qiuran stopped her.

"Let me do it."

He twisted his wrist and walked towards the large, fiery red Lizardfolk.

"I prefer persuasion through reasoning to persuasion through charming words."

"Puff!"

Without a word, the enraged Behemoths gathered all the fiery red Runes on its body onto its dragon mouth and spewed a scorching pillar of fire at Bai Qiuran, engulfing his figure.

No human figure could be seen within the pillar of fire, and the dragon's rage subsided slightly. But then, a hand emerged from the pillar of fire and caught the spike on the dragon's chin.

"???"

Before the fiery red Behemoths could react, its thirty-meter-long body was ripped up like a piece of cloth by this hand, swung in a semi-circle, and slammed heavily into the crater.

Bang!

Earth and rocks flew everywhere, the ground cracked, and the fiery red Behemoths collapsed beside the corpse of its white-scaled brethren, unconscious.

"See, we really meant no harm."

Bai Qiuran stood with one foot on the Behemoths's mouth, looking at the circle of Fairies around him with a sincere expression.

"Otherwise, we'll just take it out."

The Fairies stared at each other blankly, then their expressions gradually turned to terror.

Seeing that they were about to scream, Jiang Lan clapped her hands at the right moment and said softly, "Please don't run around or scream, because that's a sign that you look down on us and treat us like bad guys. It's very impolite. If you run away screaming, we might find the friends who screamed the loudest and ran the fastest and have a good talk with them."

Upon hearing Jiang Lan's words, the Fairies, who were about to scatter and flee, immediately covered their mouths with trembling hands, staring in horror at the three creatures in the pit.

Seeing their performance, Jiang Lan nodded in satisfaction, then winked at Su Xiangxue. Su Xiangxue understood and stepped forward, activating her Phantom Shadow Fragrant Trace Art at full power. With a warm smile, she asked the Fairies, "Now, who can represent you and come forward to talk to us?"

Under the full power of their allure, the Fairies' eyes immediately went blank. A second later, the girl who had fainted first was groggily helped up and Consciousness replied, "I've come to talk to you."
