My Demon Queen

Ye An’s eyes were almost rolling up to the sky.

"I don't even know where the human race is. What kind of spy am I? Also, since I... since I can remember, I have been in the demon tribe. As for the human race in the demon tribe, I really don't know. No one told me."

Ye An was just about to say that it was since he was captured, but he changed it to since he could remember. There was no other way. He couldn't really say that he knew this world only when he was captured and used as a blood cow.

The old man obviously hesitated.

"Is this true?"

"Seriously, you should retire right away. No one can stand your stubbornness."

Ye An looked at the old man sitting on the ground helplessly.

"No, if I retreat, what will happen to the people in the city? The demons gave us a place to live and guaranteed our safety. I can't retreat."

The old man shook his head vigorously and would never agree to Ye An's proposal.

Ye An also keenly discovered the problem: So, the demons gave these ordinary people a living environment? And protected them? Why?

"Old man, can you tell me why this time? Why did the demons provide you with a living environment and protect you?"

"Of course it's you humans. Our ancestors have lived on this land for generations. When humans were still in charge of this place, we were on the fringes of the human race. We should have lived a carefree life. However, the cultivators of the human race saw that we lived very close to the demons. Because they didn't dare to go into the demons to kill them, they thought we would be infected by the demons and that we were demons, so they slaughtered us and treated us as slaves and animals. Did you know that there used to be a country on this land, but now there is only a city left?"

As the old man spoke, tears began to flow.

When Ye An heard this, he suddenly thought of a phrase he had heard in his previous life, "Killing innocent people to gain credit". He instantly felt uncomfortable.

Ye An didn't know what to say at the moment, so he could only sit quietly in the chair, waiting for the old man to continue.

After a while, the old man wiped his tears with his sleeves and continued.

"During that dark period, the once glorious dynasty fell into endless suffering. Facing misunderstanding and persecution from the monks, the emperor kept explaining to them, trying to prove that the people here were not demons. According to the legends of the older generation, this benevolent emperor, in order to save the people, did not hesitate to put down his dignity and kneel down to beg for mercy from those monks. However, these hateful monks were not moved at all, but instead mocked and insulted the emperor.

What was even more outrageous was that they actually played with the emperor's concubines and princesses in front of him. The righteous monks could not stand such cruel behavior and stood up to persuade and stop them, but they were eventually killed by their fellow monks and falsely accused of the murder of our ancestors. As a result, a larger-scale disaster came - some sects sent more disciples to participate in this war to destroy the country. This bloody massacre lasted for a full ten years. During this period, the mountains and rivers were stained with blood, the land was full of grief, and people fled everywhere to survive..."

Ye An walked out of the tent and looked at the people coming and going at the city gate in the distance.

Finally, Mo Qingcheng and Mo Ruxue successfully overthrew the former cruel and merciless ruler of the demon clan, and led the demon clan army to march towards the human race. When they marched to a certain place, they unexpectedly found a group of surviving mortals. Since Mo Qingcheng herself was also a human, she still had sympathy for her fellow humans, so she decisively ordered the demon clan to forbid these mortals, and even asked them to do their best to protect them when necessary.

However, the demons did not have the seven emotions and six desires that normal humans have, so they were naturally very indifferent to these powerless mortals. At first, these mortals thought that they would suffer even more terrible tortures if they fell into the hands of the demons, and that their lives would be worse than death. But unexpectedly, the demons did not harm them, but protected them properly. Although they were still afraid of the demons in their hearts, these mortals realized that they had miraculously survived.

As time went by, Mo Qingcheng continued to conquer large tracts of territory and established a vast demon territory. At this time, she issued an order: All mortals living in the demon territory must not be bullied or killed by demon members. Those emotionless and ruthless demon people obeyed the command and silently carried out the order. In this way, time passed quickly, and hundreds of years had passed in the blink of an eye.

As for the mortals captured for blood sacrifice, the old man said that they were all extremely vicious people, as well as some dying beggars and children.

Ye An walked on the streets of the city, looking at these mortals with smiles on their faces that came from the heart, but his heart was a little bitter. The people of the demon clan had no lust and would not harbor any malice. Even if they saw children surrounding them, singing and dancing, they were indifferent, with no sadness or joy on their faces, as if they were used to it, and as if these things did not arouse the slightest emotion in their hearts.

However, people without lust are demons, and their lives are peaceful. People with lust are humans, and their lives are colorful.

“Is it really as what was said on the Internet in my previous life, that hell is empty and the devils are on earth?”

Ye An stood on the street, looking at all kinds of people, thinking deeply.

After a long time, a little girl holding a string of candied haws bumped into Ye An's legs.

"Oops!" The little girl dropped the candied haws in her hand to the ground. She looked very aggrieved, but she looked up at Ye An and said, "Brother, I'm sorry."

Ye An looked at the little girl who was obviously very aggrieved and was apologizing to him, and the sadness on his face completely disappeared.

"Brother, I'm fine. It's just that your candied haws are gone. Otherwise, call me brother a few more times and I'll buy you another bunch."

Ye An squatted down with a smile, gently stroked the little girl's head, and looked at the rosy-faced girl in front of him with a gentle face.

"No, Mom said we can't just take other people's things."

The little girl obviously wanted it very much, but she shook her head and lowered her head to pick up the string of candied haws.

Ye An smiled and shook his head, then picked up the string of candied haws covered in dirt.

"This string belongs to me. I'll trade it with you. I'll buy you another string and it will be considered as an exchange between us."

Ye An patted the little girl's head gently, took a bite of the candied haws covered in dirt, and then waved to the old man who was selling candied haws not far away.

"Brother, brother, spit it out quickly, it's dirty."

The little girl became anxious and immediately grabbed Ye An's mouth.

Ye An looked at the little girl who was hurriedly pulling at him with both hands. The cloud of worry in his heart completely dissipated, and then he burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha"

The little girl was also confused and stared at Ye An blankly. The old man selling candied haws came over and looked at Ye An who was laughing, not knowing whether to go forward or backward.

After laughing for a long time, Ye An felt his tears falling. Then he wiped his tears, stood up and bought a string of candied haws. As for the money, it was given by the demon soldiers. Their leader had seen the paper fan in Ye An's hand, so he gave it to him without saying anything.

Ye An gave the candied haws to the little girl, touched her head, and left, biting the candied haws as he walked.

"This brother is so weird!"

The little girl stared blankly at Ye An's back and murmured softly.

Ye An walked briskly at this time, the heavy haze in his heart had long disappeared, and he walked towards this colorful world.
