Views on the Demon Race

Hu Li almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he heard Xu Yan's words. Damn it, that street really had a newly opened roast chicken shop, and they even delivered roast chicken?

If he had known this earlier, he would have eaten a few roast chickens himself.

However, now, he could only leave quickly without a word, not replying to Xu Yan.

Seeing the man in black leave so quickly, Xu Yan carried the roast chicken into the shop himself.

He had just cut the roast chicken in half, intending to share one half with Su Jiuer as usual.

"It smells so good, what is it?"

Just then, a woman's voice came from the inner hall. Immediately after, the woman walked out of the inner hall, her gaze fixed directly on the roast chicken on the table.

Su Jiuer glanced at the woman and quickly took a bite of her half of the roast chicken, afraid of being snatched away.

She didn't want to share the roast chicken with this woman. It didn't matter that her origins were unknown; she had clearly recovered from her injuries but was still lingering in the inner hall, not coming out, causing her to have no bed to sleep in for the past two days.

However, sleeping in Xu Yan's arms wasn't too bad either.

"What a delicious roast chicken, is it for me?" The woman walked over, picked up Xu Yan's half of the roast chicken, and took a small bite of chicken.

Immediately after, her face showed surprise, and she instantly sped up her eating of the roast chicken.

Xu Yan watched, dumbfounded. Miss, I haven't even answered you yet, and you're already eating it yourself?

Besides, this clearly wasn't for you!

"This is such delicious roast chicken, I've never eaten such delicious roast chicken before," the woman said with a satisfied expression as she ate.

For the past two days, she had only been drinking porridge and medicine. Now, tasting such delicious roast chicken felt like reaching paradise.

Xu Yan was a little speechless. This woman really didn't consider herself an outsider.

He looked at Su Jiuer and the woman devouring the roast chicken and said, "I'll go buy another one. You two stay here and don't wander off."

The woman called out, "Buy two more, half of one isn't enough here."

Then, she continued to eat her roast chicken.

Lin Yansheng left the shop with intense displeasure and continued walking towards the adjacent street.

Although freebies were no longer available, buying a roast chicken wasn't expensive; the price was the same as Old Wang's.

After Xu Yan left, the woman sat on a chair, savoring the roast chicken, and looked at Su Jiuer with a faint gaze. "A Fox Demon, pretending to be an ordinary fox and living as a pet in a human's home."

She could tell at a glance that Su Jiuer was a demon, not just an ordinary little fox.

Su Jiuer's heart tightened. She continued to eat the roast chicken, ignoring the woman.

In the Southern Domain, the relationship between the Demon Race and humans was very poor, and they often fought. Therefore, when demons entered human living areas, they would disguise themselves. Otherwise, if discovered, they might be beaten to death.

"Stop pretending, little fox of the Sky Fox Clan," the woman said with a smile.

How could a mere little Fox Demon in the Spiritual Consciousness Realm deceive her?

Seeing that she could no longer hide it, Su Jiuer glared fiercely at the woman and spoke human language, "You woman of unknown origin, Xu Yan will definitely kick you out."

She found this woman extremely displeasing, especially after the woman easily saw through her identity. She didn't want to spend another moment with the woman.

The woman smiled and said, "Your voice is very pleasant. Why hide it from Xu Yan? Perhaps he would be happier if you stayed with him in your human form."

In this world, fox demons were always the most beloved demons by humans.

Many people longed for a chance encounter with a beautiful fox demon, even cultivators were no exception.

Even at auctions for demon slaves, the price of a female fox demon was often many times that of other demons.

"What's it to you? This is my home, not yours!" Su Jiuer said angrily, looking at the woman.

This woman's presence here was too strong, as if she were the owner of the place, and Su Jiuer was just an outsider fox spirit.

The woman showed a meaningful smile. "Is this your home? Not necessarily, unless Xu Yan is still willing to accept you after you reveal your identity."

After speaking, she continued to eat the roast chicken, her eyes filled with the confidence of having everything under control.

When Xu Yan returned, carrying two roast chickens, he saw Su Jiuer lying on the table looking dejected and felt baffled.

Especially since Su Jiuer hadn't even finished her half of the roast chicken. Normally, Su Jiuer could finish half a roast chicken very quickly.

Xu Yan looked at the woman and asked, "Did you bully the little fox?"

There was only this woman here after he left. Now that Su Jiuer was acting strangely, the most likely culprit was this woman doing something to Su Jiuer.

The woman had finished her half of the roast chicken and was wiping her hands and lips with a napkin. "I didn't bully the little fox. She's just worried that you'll abandon her."

How could she not know that Su Jiuer must have started worrying and become sad because of her words?

After all, it wasn't easy for a little fox demon to live in a human city. If she were abandoned by her owner one day, she might face an abyss.

Tianren City had cultivators. If she were captured by a cultivator, the fate of a female fox demon could be imagined.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly abandon the little fox?" Xu Yan said, putting the roast chicken aside and picking Su Jiuer up from the table.

He gently stroked Su Jiuer's fur, finding it irresistible.

Su Jiuer's fur felt exceptionally comfortable to the touch. No wonder some people liked fur coats.

The woman looked at the scene of Xu Yan holding and petting Su Jiuer, and asked, "Xu Yan, what are your thoughts on the Demon Race?"

She was curious what would happen if Xu Yan knew that the fox in his arms was not an ordinary fox, but a Fox Demon.

Su Jiuer's body trembled slightly, seeming to be afraid of the woman's question.

Or perhaps, as a member of the Demon Race, she was afraid of Xu Yan's answer.

Xu Yan raised an eyebrow and replied, "I don't have any particular thoughts on the Demon Race. They're just another race besides humans, and it seems they can all cultivate."

He held no prejudice against the Demon Race. Whether they were demons or Cultivators, they had little to do with him.

"What would you do if a member of the Demon Race came to Tianren City?" the woman asked again, seemingly unsatisfied with Xu Yan's answer.

Her gaze fell on Su Jiuer, who was curled up in Xu Yan's arms, and a meaningful smile played on her lips.

Xu Yan found the woman's question baffling and replied, "What can I do? Life goes on as usual. If they want to buy something from me, I'll sell it to them just the same, as long as they don't intentionally harm anyone."

He was just a Mortal. To him, Cultivators and demons were the same – beings capable of Cultivation, on a completely different level of existence from Mortals.
