The courtyard was quiet and secluded.
The stone table and stools had all been polished from fine jade.
"The Lu Clan is treating you as a protective talisman."
The boy stopped and turned his head toward the girl resting against the doorway with her eyes closed.
"Given your circumstances, you could simply explain things to the Lu Clan. They might not dare resent you... they might even give you the Golden Body Method anyway. Why shield them from disaster?"
For no reason at all, she would have to face who knew how many powerful enemies coveting them from the shadows.
If the visitors were cultivators, that would be one thing.
But if another demon like the Crimson Heavens Demon Emperor came...
At the same realm, demons were already harder to deal with than human cultivators, with strange innate divine abilities.
And what was more...
Even if she won...
Aside from a corpse of flesh and blood, how could the spoils compare to killing someone and taking their possessions?
Not every demon carried several magical treasures around like the Crimson Heavens Demon Emperor...
Jiang Yuechu slowly opened her eyes, her expression calm.
"Why shouldn't I?"
To others, slaying demons meant hard work for little reward.
But to Jiang Yuechu...
Demons lived long lives, and their accumulated cultivation far surpassed that of human cultivators.
What was more, she could imprison their demon souls within her body and refine them with the Black Heaven Body-Forging Scripture, then absorb their demonic power and essence with the Ten Thousand Demons Devour Heaven technique.
She wished every visitor would be a demon.
Human cultivators, on the other hand...
Even if she killed one, a Tower-Climbing Realm cultivator only offered a thousand years of cultivation... less worthwhile than a single Ink-Dot Realm demon.
At that thought...
