Chapter 96 The Moonlit Probe
"Vice Commander, you're back!"
As soon as Cai'er returned to the carriage, Chen Ying'er hurriedly greeted her. However, just as she was about to ask something, she noticed that Cai'er's expression was somewhat gloomy, and the words that were about to come out were swallowed back.
Seeing this, the others also remained silent, because they could feel that Cai'er's body temperature seemed to have dropped considerably.
Just as everyone was at a loss for words, Lin Feng followed Cai'er in.
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Lin Feng.
Seeing this, Lin Feng didn't bother to explain. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "The road ahead may be treacherous. Don't reveal yourselves unless absolutely necessary. This is, after all, the Demon Realm. Although we are guards of the Moonlit Merchant Guild, it will bring unnecessary trouble if we are discovered to be from the Six Great Temples."
After saying this, Lin Feng looked at Cai'er, who had been sitting silently in the carriage since entering, and began to meditate. It was not a wise choice to disturb Cai'er now.
As for Cai'er, she had already sat down cross-legged in a corner of the carriage and started meditating by herself when Lin Feng started speaking.
He was clearly still angry.
Seeing this, Lin Feng also found a place to sit cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate.
It would be unwise to harass Cai'er now, who is still angry.
The others looked at Lin Feng and Cai'er, exchanged glances, and then sat down silently to meditate and cultivate.
Nobody wanted to upset Cai'er at this time.
After all, when Cai Ji is angry, the chilling killing intent he exudes is enough to make one tremble just thinking about it.
At the same time, they all understood that Cai'er's current expression clearly indicated that she was jealous.
For a moment, the entire carriage fell into an unprecedented silence.
at the same time.
Inside the carriage where Yueye and Leng Xiao were.
Moonlight told Leng Xiao about the imprints she knew and about the existence of Alicia.
After learning about the effects of the imprint, Leng Xiao lay on Yue Ye's lap, her eyes full of curiosity like a curious child, and asked, "Sister Yue, since inheriting the imprint can grant a corresponding legacy, what is your legacy?"
"Compared to the legacy of the Moon Demon Clan, which is stronger?"
"Aren't you curious why I agreed to Lin Feng's request?"
Leng Xiao playfully stuck out her tongue and said with a grin, "Sister Yue, you know I don't want to think about these messy things."
"I think you're just running away. But don't worry, the only reason I agreed to Lin Feng's request was for personal gain. If Lin Feng does anything that is detrimental to the Demon Clan, I certainly won't help him."
"By the way, Xiaoxiao, what are your thoughts on your relationship with Lin Feng?"
The moonlit night's words were half true and half false.
She said this for two reasons: first, to reassure Leng Xiao and dispel any possibility that she might have betrayed the Demon Clan; and second, to let Leng Xiao know that her relationship with Lin Feng was purely transactional, based solely on mutual benefit. This also aligned with her businesswoman-like nature.
At the same time, she also wanted to see how Leng Xiao would react.
Upon hearing Yueye's words, Leng Xiao's playful expression was instantly replaced by disappointment and confusion.
For a long while, she didn't know how to answer Yueye's question.
Half a day later, Leng Xiao laughed carefree and said, "Sister Yue, what are you saying? I just find Lin Feng more pleasing to the eye. As a demon girl of the demon race, I can do whatever I want."
After saying this, Leng Xiao suddenly climbed off Yueye's lap, clenched her fist, and waved it wildly, saying, "If Lin Feng really does anything to harm the Demon Clan that day, I'll definitely beat him up with my fists the size of sandbags!"
Looking at Leng Xiao after she finished speaking, a sense of unease was hidden deep in her eyes.
Yueye smiled but didn't say anything more. Just as she had thought, Leng Xiao's thinking was emotional.
She lacks rational thinking.
But that's exactly what Yueye wanted.
Given the right opportunity and an intense emotional impact, Leng Xiao will make the decision to guide Lin Feng.
A barely perceptible smile appeared on Yueye's lips.
In Leng Xiao's eyes, Yueye was perhaps her best friend with whom she could confide everything.
But Yueye was different; from the very first day she met Leng Xiao, she had her own purpose.
Perhaps due to their years of companionship, Leng Xiao holds a significant place in her heart.
However, when it comes to weighing the pros and cons, as long as there are enough bargaining chips, Leng Xiao and Lin Feng can also be discarded.
At this moment, seemingly to conceal her deep-seated worries, Leng Xiao subconsciously changed the subject, saying, "Sister Yue, you still haven't told me what your inheritance is?"
Upon hearing Leng Xiao's question, Yueye stopped probing her.
"As for your abilities, you'll find out when we encounter the demons who try to rob us on the road."
"Ugh, Sister Yue is going too far. You're always keeping me in suspense like this."
Hearing Leng Xiao's complaint, Yue Ye smiled but didn't offer any further explanation.
However, Leng Xiao asked with a hint of confusion, "Sister Yue, the Moonlit Merchant Guild is a caravan approved by Agares and Father. How could some blind demons attack the caravan?"
"Aren't they afraid of dying?"
"Death?" Yueye chuckled lightly, a hint of disdain in her eyes. "Sometimes, death isn't what they fear most!"
Looking into Leng Xiao's clear eyes, Yueye patted her head and said, "Xiao Xiao, this world is far more cruel than you imagine."
"You grew up in Heart City, where you enjoyed the food and lodging that only high-ranking demons could afford. Our food, clothing, housing, and transportation were almost identical to those of humans. But the low-ranking demons are different. They reproduce at an astonishing rate, and the demon lands cannot grow crops. The grain purchased by caravans is only enough to support the supply of high-ranking demons. So every winter is like a famine for those low-ranking demons."
"They'll even devour their own kind to fill their stomachs; hunger is far more terrifying than you can imagine!"
"Furthermore, lower-level demons lack intelligence; they only act on their instinct to eat."
"This is also why His Majesty the Demon Emperor has allowed some low-level demons to wage war against the demon race for many years."
"The deaths of a large number of low-level demons serve two purposes: first, it curbs the reproduction of the demon race; second, it allows these demons to become food for the lower-level demons, thus making it easier to manage the entire demon race."
Hearing Yueye's words, Leng Xiao was stunned for a moment. She had never thought about these things, nor had she ever imagined that the difference between low-level and high-level demons was so great.
What Leng Xiao didn't notice was the struggle deep in Yue Ye's eyes as she spoke.
If low-ranking demons can only become cannon fodder for the demon race, then human-demon hybrids are nothing more than playthings and slaves in the eyes of the demon race.
If she hadn't single-handedly established the Moonlit Merchant Guild and improved the living conditions of high-ranking demons, she might not have fared much better.
After all, even her own father treated her coldly because of her bloodline.
Not to mention the other demons.
All she did was try to survive.
Just as the two were talking, the previously calm ground suddenly trembled slightly.
For a moment, both Leng Xiao and Yue Ye's expressions turned somewhat unpleasant.
A
