Lin Feng took Jiang Ming and the banshee to Mistveil Peak. At this time, Feng Xu was playing chess with Fang Daoyun.

"Go into the dungeon separately, so you don't have to be embarrassed here."

Feng Xu continued playing chess, not bothering to look at Jiang Ming.

Lin Feng felt heavy and left Mistveil Peak with Jiang Ming.

"How does Human Ancestor plan to deal with this matter?"

"Ask the situation clearly. If it's the witch's fault, even if Jiang Ming and I have an old relationship, the most I can do is give him a less painful death."

"What if the witch has no fault?"

"Then spare her life and deal with it depending on the situation."

Fang Daoyun stroked his beard, sighed softly, and left.

Feng Xu went to the Central Wilderness dungeon with a cold face.

In the dungeon, Jiang Ming and the banshee are locked in different cells.

This is a place dedicated to holding monks. The cell is blessed by Formation Arts, and the mana of the shackled person is blocked. Even a person who specializes in Body Tempering will have his energy and blood suppressed, just like ordinary people.

Lin Feng took off the demon-binding rope and put shackles on Jiang Ming.

"Lin Feng, Zhu'er is really a helpless move. Her fault is not hers."

Jiang Ming did not resist the whole process and was still pleading for the banshee.

"Okay, okay, I've investigated everything clearly and will try my best to help you keep her. But you probably won't be able to be together in the future. Since the great catastrophe in the south, Human Race has been quite hostile to Demon Race, especially those in the south. I have tried my best to bring you to Central Wilderness for trial."

Lin Feng sighed and walked out of the dungeon. Jiang Ming was left in the cell thinking about the future.

Feng Xu came to the dungeon door and took the file from Lin Feng.

The banshee was adopted by an old fisherman when she was young. The old man's surname was Chen and he named the banshee Chen Zhu.

Chen Zhu has been wrapping her head in cloth since she was a child to hide the horns on her head. She is usually well-behaved and doesn't talk much. She often helps the villagers weave nets, dry salt, and take care of children. She has never harmed anyone in the past hundred years, and she ate whatever the old man ate until the day the fleet passed by.

There are a few people in the village who, relying on the support of others, roam the countryside on weekdays, and no one else can do anything to them.

That day, these gangsters took a fancy to Chen Zhu and wanted to take it away by force. The old fisherman refused and was accidentally beaten to death.

Chen Zhu In grief and anger, Demon Race activated his bloodline, broke through Earth Immortal and killed several gangsters.

As soon as this incident came out, the villagers knew that Chen Zhu was a demon. Although they hated the demon deeply, the people sent to investigate said that the villagers hoped to let Chen Zhu go.

"Then how did they meet?"

"Jiang Ming once went south to explore, encountered a natural disaster, and was rescued by Chen Zhu, and the two became friends. After that, Jiang Ming only worked on the road Southern Sea, and the two took the opportunity to have a tryst. Jiang Ming learned that Chen Zhu is a demon, and I was worried that it would be dangerous to bring Great Wilderness back. I was also afraid that if people knew about Chen Zhu's relationship with him, other people would pay attention to Chen Zhu and discover that she was Demon Race, so I kept it secret all these years."

Lin Feng proposed to drive Chen Zhu out of Human Race and just fend for themselves.

"How can a banshee who has lived peacefully in Human Race for a hundred years gain a foothold in Demon Race? She will probably die if she is kicked out." Feng Xu shook his head.

"Then Human Ancestor means to keep her in Human Race?"

Lin Feng was secretly happy that Jiang Ming and Chen Zhu could still be together.

"Let her serve in hard labor for life with Jiang Ming. This kid cannot stand upright and cannot stay in a high position."

"Ah?"

If he has to work hard for life, then Jiang Ming will be useless for the rest of his life. Even if his official position is removed, he should be treated as an ordinary citizen. This punishment is too severe.

"Human Ancestor, is this punishment too much?"

"Have you passed? This kid is already on top. Believe it or not, if I tell him this, he will thank me. What's more, if I let it go easily, Sifu will definitely not agree."

After all, Sifu's father, Iron Pillar, died in that catastrophe.

Although Feng Xu hates Demon Race, he knows that Witch-Demon situation. Human Race cannot offend either party, and it is best to ease the relationship with Demon Race.

When talking about Sifu, Lin Feng also remained silent.

Who doesn't know how popular this sunny boy is, and who knows how many nights he secretly shed tears alone, missing his deceased father.

"I'm giving them a chance to test their so-called love."

Feng Xu suddenly had bad intentions and went to find Chen Zhu.

"Are you Chen Zhu?"

Feng Xu came to the cell where Chen Zhu was held and confirmed his identity.

"You are?"

Chen Zhu looked at the person weakly, his eyes were red.

"This is Human Ancestor, why don't you answer Human Ancestor's question quickly!" Lin Feng scolded.

"Folk girl Chen Zhu, met Human Ancestor."

Chen Zhu stood up quickly and bowed.

Feng Xu nodded and continued to ask, "Tell me, why did you kill people?"

"Those people killed my father, and the girl lost her mind for a moment and made a big mistake. All the crimes were committed by the girl alone and had nothing to do with Jiang Ming. Please Human Ancestor spare him."

"It is also a big mistake for him to hide your Demon Race identity but not report it. I will give you a chance to choose. Only one of you can survive, and the other will leave Human Race and never come back."

"People's daughters are willing to die."

"Oh, what a coincidence. Jiang Ming also said that he wants you to die. It seems that you two really want to go together. In that case, I will send you to the execution ground. It was those gangsters who picked the head before, so I will give you a good time."

Feng Xu raised his hand to signal, and the guard next to him opened the cell door and escorted Chen Zhu away.

"Wait a minute." Feng Xu stopped the people who were about to leave and continued to ask, "Jiang Ming did this to you, don't you regret it? Don't you hate him?"

"A civilian girl has no regrets or regrets. When I was with Jiang Lang, it was the happiest time in my life."

Chen Zhu's eyes were moist, and he felt relieved when he thought that Jiang Ming could survive.

Feng Xu waved his hand, and the jailer carried Chen Zhu away.

Feng Xu turned around and walked towards Jiang Ming's cell.

"You don't really want to execute Chen Zhu, do you? Didn't you just say you could spare her life?"

Lin Feng stood in front of Feng Xu and wanted to protect Chen Zhu.

"Idiot, even if you are sentenced to death, you will be detained for a period of time. Qiu Houwenzhan. Just transferred her to death row."

In fact, it doesn't matter whether he is transferred to death row or not. Feng Xu's move was to make her believe it was true and to test their minds.

When they arrived at Jiang Ming's cell, Feng Xu took off Jiang Ming's shackles directly.

He also gave Jiang Ming the same choice.

"I choose Chen Zhu. As long as she can live well, I will die without regrets."

"Don't worry, not only will she live a good life, but she will also get half of your inheritance, and the other half will be confiscated. When the time comes, she will go to the command territory outside Great Wilderness, build a house, find a man, and live her life as usual." Feng Xu said with a chuckle.

Jiang Ming's face twitched, and after a moment he sighed.

"That's good. She has no home this time. It's good to have someone else to take care of her."

"You..."

Feng Xu pointed at Jiang Ming, not knowing what to say, and then someone took Jiang Ming to move the cell.

Lin Feng looked at Jiang Ming and laughed angrily, "You are really hopeless!"

Follow Feng Xu to leave the dungeon.

The two wandered aimlessly on the street. In the end, Lin Feng couldn't hold it back and asked Feng Xu what to do with them.

Feng Xu did not answer immediately, but went to the tea house and opened a private room by the window.

The two sat facing each other, Feng Xu eating refreshments and looking at the passers-by outside the window without saying a word.

"Feng Xu, please tell me something! By asking them to move the cells, do you want them to think they are on death row and wait a few more days to see if they change their minds?"

"No, I locked them both together."

"Ah?"

Lin Feng can't keep up with Feng Xu's ideas.

First they talked about life-long labor, and then they said they would be tested. In the end, they were imprisoned together. How could this be a test?

"There is no need for a test. The two of them were acquitted. It's just that we haven't thought about what happens next."

Feng Xu took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and the storyteller in the teahouse began to tell the story of the novel in the hall.

Originally, he really planned to punish the two of them with life-long hard labor. The so-called test was just a whim, and he wanted to confirm whether the two were sincere.

But he just met Chen Zhu, and he found that the banshee had a pair of dragon horns on her head. This girl might be related to Dragon Race!
