Chapter 1718 772: Divergence

Being taken away, Qiu Xiaoping naturally also heard about Lu Qiaochun's sudden chance of survival.

She was just stunned for a moment, then immediately directed a hoarse voice toward Lu Qiaochun.

"Lu Qiaochun!"

Lu Qiaochun raised her head blankly, tormented repeatedly by the post-survival luck and the unbearable guilt and pain of not being able to accept Qiu Xiaoping's death. Her brain was still a little dull and sluggish.

At this moment, Qiu Xiaoping's face was already contorted, displaying the most twisted and maddened state of her life.

"Live! Live on!"

"No matter what happens, you must live on!"

"Then find a way to tell Diao Deyi how I died! Tell him! Tell him!!"

"If it's him, with his potential, he will eventually avenge me one day!!"

"Ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years! I can wait! I'll wait for all the demons in the Demon Capital to come down to accompany me one day!!!"

With death approaching, Qiu Xiaoping was completely frenzied, tears streaming down as she let out the last roar and curse of her life!!

Such curses, such words, the demons at this slaughterhouse had already heard them hundreds of times.

This species of humans tends to break down mentally, screaming and shouting, if not for ensuring freshness of the food, they would want to kill the humans before dragging them to the slaughterhouse to avoid the loud and shrill noises.

The butcher responsible for slaughtering had already raised the large knife in his hand, ready to slash down on Qiu Xiaoping's neck.

But at this moment...

Pa.

The large knife he raised was suddenly grabbed firmly by someone!

The butcher was about to get angry but was almost startled to the point of kneeling when he looked up and saw who it was.

"Gr-Green, Green, Green Demon King!!"

Only then did the other demons realize the arrival of the Green Demon and hurriedly knelt to pay respects, with the Long-haired Fire Stepping Demon quickly stepping forward.

But the Green Demon merely waved a hand, then glanced at the grotesquely exposed Qiu Xiaoping and Lu Qiaochun.

"Take these two back to the Demon Capital, receive them well, and don't let them die."

What?

The demons at the slaughterhouse were stunned on the spot, they thought they had heard wrong.

Taking human captives back to the Demon Capital, they could understand, after all, it wasn't the first time Lord Green Demon King had given such an order.

But... to receive them well, this was unprecedented.

Those human slaves, weren't they all treated like livestock, tossed aside in captivity and ignored, no different from raising stray dogs, only providing minimal food and drink.

But now these two were ordered by Lord Green Demon King to be well-cared for, what level of care, what extent counted as receiving them well... honestly, the demons couldn't help but feel a bit confused, and even... puzzled.

Because they really couldn't see what was so special about these two female humans that warranted the Green Demon King's specific instructions for care.

Although puzzled, they still hastily responded in unison.

"Yes!"

"Following Lord's arrangements!"

The Long-haired Fire Stepping Demon reacted the fastest, first pushing away the demon grabbing Qiu Xiaoping's hair, revealing a toothy grin, lifting the dust-covered Qiu Xiaoping, gently patting off the dust.

"This young lady is not hurt, is she? The subordinates are ignorant, causing you to be scared, men! Send these two young ladies to my tent, I will entertain them personally!"

The smart reaction of the Long-haired Fire Stepping Demon naturally made Green Demon very satisfied, causing a slight approving nod.

Thus earning the label of understanding.

Suddenly escaping death, Qiu Xiaoping and Lu Qiaochun, equally confused in their hearts.

They too didn't understand what happened, and even less understood why the Demon King commander spared them.

Could it be... a plan to humiliate them to the fullest, and then...

At the thought of such things, such disgusting scenes, Qiu Xiaoping's face instantly whitened, her whole body trembling.

But between life and dignity, she suddenly couldn't decide whether she feared death more, or the dread of being sullied by demons.

The great terror just experienced between life and death left her temporarily without courage, even deep in her heart pathetically relieved at the chance to live by being eligible to be the Demon King's plaything.

With a complex expression, she turned to look back, gazing at the Green Demon King still standing in place watching them leave.

Her look was complex and pained, with a hint of inescapable fear.

Yet the Green Demon merely smiled watching them, and seeing Qiu Xiaoping turning back to look at him, the Green Demon winked at her, as if with some hint. The act only scared Qiu Xiaoping into quickly averting her gaze.

The Green Demon was momentarily puzzled, then lightly laughed.

If these two knew Diao Deyi, then we would surely have many topics to discuss.

Thinking of hearing news, information from someone else's mouth about Diao Deyi, the Green Demon's mood lifted significantly.

Though these days, he heard some news occasionally through various rumors, the feeling was very different from hearing specific details and whereabouts from someone directly.

"Thunder City, huh... how long did you stay there, what did you do, and what is your relationship with those two women... I really want to know!"

"But what I want more is, for you to stand before me and personally recount those adventures."

The Green Demon's gaze darkened.

For a long time, he may not be able to leave the Demon Capital, let alone escape Lan Yuhe's control, meeting that person again seemed... out of reach.
