Chapter 166: The Demon’s True Face

Both Li Changshou and Ye Shiyuan showed looks of surprise.

Bai He himself hadn’t expected to hear such a shocking truth here.

No wonder Ye Shiyuan had secretly come to find Li Changshou.

"You took a demon from the Lingguang Sect’s Demon Cave, and now you intend to run away with her? All demons imprisoned in the Demon Cave are guilty of grave sins. If you take her away and something happens, can you take responsibility?"

"I can."

"You take responsibility? What nonsense."

Bai He said angrily.

Li Changshou was truly so arrogant that it made even him look at him in a new light, him, taking responsibility?

Bai He raised his hand and plucked the bead hanging from the woman’s neck.

Instantly, demonic energy surged into the air.

"A thousand year old demon? You really have good taste, falling for a thousand year old demon at first sight. She’s still very weak right now, but once she recovers, do you think you’ll be her match?"

Although Li Changshou and Ye Shiyuan were of the same generation of disciples, how could they possibly be a match for a thousand year old demon?

If this demon were left unchecked for another hundred years, she might even become a great demon.

"Little Elder Bai He, if you do this, the Second Elder will arrive very soon."

"We’re taking both of you in, of course my Second Senior Brother will come. Do you even know what crime the woman beside you committed to be thrown into the Demon Cave? Just because you like her, does that erase her sins?"

The woman knelt on the ground. "Elder Bai He, I won’t do bad things anymore. Li Changshou and I truly love each other. Please, give us a chance."

Bai He stepped forward a couple of steps, raising an eyebrow. "To put it bluntly, I don’t believe you. Not at all. People don’t change their nature so easily. The ones you harmed, even those who lost their lives, do they have a chance to come back to life?"

This time, Bai He’s expression was extremely serious and Ye Shiyuan naturally stood behind him.

"Master..."

"Don’t speak anymore. I’ll handle this."

He cannot let Ye Shiyuan handle it.

Li Changshou was his best friend, how could Ye Shiyuan deal with this?

It was better to leave it to him.

He could take on the role of the villain himself.

"Little Elder Bai He, I believe her. She will never do those things again, she will become kind."

"Even if that’s not the case, Li Changshou, humans and demons cannot fall in love. At the very least, not you as you are now. What do you have? Supreme authority? Unparalleled cultivation? The ability to silence the world? You have none of these, so what gives you the right to break the rules with a demon?"

If one wanted to break the rules, one must have the power to do so.

Li Changshou clearly did not possess that.

If he did, he wouldn’t be kneeling here and begging to them.

The Second Elder Dan Zhu then arrived very soon.

The moment he stepped into the room, Bai He subconsciously turned his head. "Second Senior Brother?"

Behind him, the demon who had been kneeling suddenly moved.

Her nails sharpened as she lunged forward and grabbed Bai He’s shoulder.

But it was as if something repelled her, she was instantly knocked back.

Ye Shiyuan immediately grabbed Bai He’s arm and pulled him away from the demon’s attack range.

Bai He immediately stepped out of Ye Shiyuan’s embrace and turned around.

"Li Changshou, now it proves that what I said wasn’t false. She hasn’t changed at all. As for her feelings for you, I’d say they’re mostly fake. Isn’t that right... flower demon?"

Bai He had to admit, this flower demon was incredibly beautiful. She’s the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

She was a peony flower demon, a peerless beauty in the world and naturally exuding a noble and captivating charm.

When she appeared pitiful, it made one’s heart ache for her.

Although Sister Yao Guang’s appearance was no less stunning, she likely would never appear so pitiful.

"You did it on purpose?"

"Yes. I deliberately got close to you. You should know my strength isn’t great, but if you managed to capture me, you could threaten everyone and leave safely. Don’t tell me that wasn’t what you were thinking."

Originally, Ye Shiyuan might have felt a bit reluctant out of consideration for Li Changshou.

However, when he saw the peony demon trying to kill Bai He just now, the anger in his heart surged instantly.

Now, if he were to take action and eliminate her, he would show no mercy at all.

"Second Senior Brother, hurry up and take her back. We should return and report."

"What were you doing just now? Don’t you know how dangerous that was? Your strength is lacking, yet you still put on the airs of an elder."

Bai He had made that choice because he knew he had armor protecting him.

It was not as if he truly did not value his life.

"I’m sorry, Second Senior Brother."

"Step back. Ye Shiyuan, keep an eye on him."

"Yes."

Bai He was then pulled by Ye Shiyuan to a relatively safe spot.

With Dan Zhu taking action, even if Li Changshou wanted to stop him, it was already too late.

The peony demon was easily subdued, and Li Changshou collapsed to his knees with his face full of confusion.

"Who are you putting on that act for? You want to leave with her? Do you really think she likes you? Before long, you won’t even know how you die."

"Second Elder, even if she wants to kill me in the future, I would accept it willingly."

"Foolish."

Dan Zhu glanced at Ye Shiyuan. "Take him back. I’ll leave him to you on the way. If he escapes, you’ll answer for it."

"Yes."

Li Changshou would not run.
