Chapter 66 Hatred
Lame cow? Scar-eyed snake?
This description is quite apt!

Jiang Yuan immediately thought of the buffalo demon and the snake demon, and quickly shook his head and said, "When they were trying to catch you, I happened to see it and followed them."

"It was you who saved me?" Jiujiu tilted her head and looked at Jiang Yuan's small body. Although she was a little unbelievable, she still asked.

Jiang Yuan shook his head again, his eyes wandering, and said with a guilty conscience: "No, I just got here."

After saying this, she said no more. Her intuition told her that the fewer demons knew about the new magic, the better.

After hearing her say this, Jiujiu did not ask any more questions but just thought in her heart, who saved her?
After thinking for a long time without any result, she stopped worrying about it. She turned her head and looked at Jiang Yuan, but frowned and said, "You..."

But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a voice coming from far away in the sky: "A Yuan!"

In mid-air, a huge white cat flew towards them, but Jiujiu's eyes bypassed the white cat and stared directly at the two familiar monsters behind it.

Jiang Yuan was relieved when she saw Big Cat coming. She quickly raised her hand, jumped up, waved at it, and said with a smile, "Big Cat, we are here."

The big cat swooped down, and after landing on all four legs, it quickly braked and stopped right in front of Jiang Yuan. It looked at Jiang Yuan carefully to make sure she was safe, then it lay down, lowered its head, rubbed it against Jiang Yuan, and said with a look of fear: "Fortunately you are okay."

Jiang Yuan noticed Da Miao's emotions, so she hugged Da Miao's neck and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm fine!"

After comforting Da Miao, she saw two demons surrounding Jiujiu and asked, "Who are they?"

Big Cat looked in the direction Jiang Yuan was looking and replied, "They are..."

But before it could finish its words, another voice came from behind it: "They are Jiujiu's parents, and the only alien demon king in Cat Country."

This voice sounds familiar!

With this thought in mind, Jiang Yuan stretched out his upper body and looked behind Da Mao. After discovering that it was a familiar demon, although he had expected it, he was still surprised.

Fei Lian walked up to Jiang Yuan, smiled gently, and said, "Yuan, thank you so much this time."

"Hey, how come you..." She remembered that she had never taken off her cloak in front of Fei Lian, so she was surprised that she recognized her at once.

As if seeing her confusion, Fei Lian smiled and said, "Although you took off your cloak and changed your appearance, your unique aura has not changed."

What she didn't say was that at that time in Meow Meow Building, when she was squatting down to massage her ankle, she saw her true face hidden under the cloak. It was also at that time that she confirmed her identity.

Jiang Yuan nodded to show that she understood. Thinking of what Fei Lian had just said, she couldn't help but wave her hand and said with a concealed look: "No need to thank me. In fact, I don't know who saved her..."

Fei Lian didn't say whether she believed it or not. She glanced at the buffalo, then looked at Jiang Yuan, smiled meaningfully, and said, "Really?"

After staring at Fei Lian for less than a breath, Jiang Yuan was the first to look away and said, "Sister Fei Lian, please stop guessing. This is all I know... By the way, what do you mean by the only strange demon king in Cat Country?"

Elder Jinchun had only told her that the Cat Kingdom was ruled by the Queen and that the current Queen had three children. This was the first time she had heard of the three words "Demon King".

Knowing that Jiang Yuan wanted to change the subject, Fei Lian did as she wished and answered, "This is not a secret. Since cats rule the Cat Kingdom, the royal family is naturally mainly cats, with the exception of the mountain sparrow clan. Hundreds of years ago, the Cat Kingdom and the Dog Kingdom were at war, and the late emperor personally led the army and was trapped in Lingshan for several months by the enemy. When food and grass were cut off, it was a skylark deputy general who followed the late emperor at the time who cut off his flesh and blood and fed himself to the emperor to keep him safe. After the Cat Kingdom won a great victory, the skylark was made king, and the throne was hereditary."

"In fact, I have wanted to ask this for a long time, do demons also need to eat?"

Since he knew that Jiang Yuan was not from this world, Fei Lian did not show any shock at her lack of common sense. He only replied, "Although the demon race can absorb demonic energy and transform it into their own cultivation, they are still not completely free from the need for food and water. They can still endure not eating for a month, but if they do not eat for several months, not only will their demonic power be lost, but they will also starve to the point of losing consciousness and even die."

Jiang Yuan felt envious after hearing this, and whispered, "That's much better than the human race. I'll be starving if I don't eat for a meal. I'll die if I don't eat or drink for ten days, not to mention a month..."

Fei Lian listened to her complaints carefully and couldn't help but smile. He then walked to her side and whispered, "King Yunque has a high status in the imperial city. It will be good for you to make friends with him."

Although Jiang Yuan didn't understand, she kept these words in mind.

When they had finished talking, the Skylark King walked up to Jiang Yuan with his wife and daughter. He raised his wings and made a "fist-holding" gesture, saying, "I am Yunteng, and I am here with my wife to thank you for saving my daughter."

After saying this, he flapped his wings and a box floated in the air. He handed the box to Jiang Yuan and said, "This is a small gift, please accept it."

Perhaps because skylarks are born with fluffy feathers, the Skylark King and Skylark Queen also look chubby, which makes people and monsters who see them easily let down their guard. The Skylark King wears a white and yellow robe, with a kind face, holding a box in his wings, as if waiting for her reply, while the Queen wears a light purple skirt, dignified and virtuous, holding Jiujiu in her arms, and both monsters have a slightly red expression.

Looking at the family of three, Jiang Yuan felt an inexplicable sourness in her heart. She quickly suppressed the envy that was rising in her heart and refused: "It wasn't me who saved her. This life-saving grace...I can't bear it."

King Skylark was undecided after hearing this. He looked at his wife and daughter beside him and said, "This..."

The princess glanced at him, then turned to Jiang Yuan and said, "Jiujiu said that she had been in a coma since she was seriously injured. When she woke up, she saw you guarding her side. Regardless of whether you saved her or not, we will remember this favor."

Jiang Yuan always felt that the princess had a look of understanding on her face, and her words were full of hidden meanings, as if she had seen through her. However, she seemed to have guessed everything, but she just went along with her wishes and did not expose her.

Meeting her eyes, Jiang Yuan no longer refused. He took the box from Skylark King with both hands, thanked him, but did not open it immediately.

After resolving the matter, Fei Lian returned the Image Stone to her and said, "When I gave this to you before, I didn't expect it to be used in this way."

After Jiang Yuan took it, he ran to Da Mao and put the box and the photo stone back into the bag. He then took out ten shells from it and handed them to Fei Lian, saying, "I still owe you ten shells, and I'll pay you today."

Seeing that Fei Lian didn't take it, she stuffed it directly into her arms. After looking up at the sky, she hurriedly said, "It's getting late. Da Miao and I have to go back quickly. Sister Fei Lian, let's get together next time."

"Slow down." Fei Lian couldn't help but remind Jiang Yuan when he saw him running so fast.

"Know it!"

Sitting on Big Cat's back, Jiang Yuan waved to them, and then let Big Cat run towards the street where they separated from Rabbit Man.

Feeling the breeze on his face, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought: I wonder how long Rabbit Man has been waiting for them on the street...

At this moment, Rabbit Man was sitting on a stone staircase beside the street. He couldn't help sneezing, and then raised his paw to rub his nose. Out of boredom, he quickly caught dozens of mosquitoes that wanted to bite him, and then let them go. After repeating this operation several times, those mosquitoes dared not approach him again.

"It's boring."

He looked around and couldn't help but sighed, muttering to himself: "Jiang Yuan, Da Miao, how long will it take for you to come back?"

Just then, familiar footsteps sounded from the corner of the street. Rabbit Man looked in the direction of the sound and saw Big Cat and Jiang Yuan sitting on its back...

……

After Jiang Yuan left, Fei Lian walked up to King Skylark and said, "Since last year, little monsters have been disappearing in Moon Bay. The Palace Master suspected that there were monster dealers and sent Yue Lan to investigate, but they were too cunning and simply gave up and hid. I thought they had fled Moon Bay a long time ago, but I didn't expect that they would continue to commit crimes and even tried to silence Jiujiu after discovering him."

Hearing this, King Skylark sighed, and the princess looked at Jiujiu in her arms with even more loving care.

Jiujiu comforted her mother and turned to look at Fei Lian. She knew her role and quickly provided clues, saying, "I encountered two demon dealers this time. They were a lame buffalo and a black snake with a scar on the corner of its eye. They put all the demons they kidnapped or robbed into black bags."

As for the rest, she didn't know either!
After she was discovered by the two monsters, she kept running for her life and later fell into a coma... Strictly speaking, she didn't know as much as Jiang Yuan.

Fei Lian obviously thought of this, so he said no more and smiled, "Forget it, I'll take you back first."

As soon as she finished speaking, the bamboo forest not far away made a sound as if blown by the wind. Fei Lian turned his head suddenly and saw a few leaves falling sparsely.

"What's wrong?" The Skylark King's demonic power was not strong, so he naturally didn't notice anything wrong. Fei Lian didn't want to scare them again, so he shook his head and said, "It's okay, just a gust of wind."

But even so, she stamped her feet imperceptibly, and thousands of cockroaches crawled towards the bamboo forest without the Skylark King and the Princess noticing...

After they had all left, the snake demon in the bamboo forest dared to slam its tail on the ground, raising countless bamboo leaves.

He couldn't figure it out, since the human race had no demonic power, what method did they use to make the old bull lose all his demonic power, break his demon pill, and even turn back to his original form!

The snake demon stared at the direction where Jiang Yuan had just left, and then looked at the buffalo demon outside the bamboo forest, which had returned to its original form and had no magical power left. Its strange red eyes burst into a light of hatred, and in the darkness, they looked like two lanterns.

"No matter what... I, Heiyao, will never be a snake again until I have my revenge!"
