Quick Wear: Plan to Save the Unrequited Boss

The villagers chatted with each other, their eyes sparkling as they looked at Qinian.

In this age where monsters are rampant, the weight represented by these three words "Jiangming Mountain" is absolutely incomparable.

After being warmly welcomed into a farmyard by the villagers, Qi Nian's eyes fell on Wen Ling.

Of course, Wen Ling's words could not be hidden from him. She pulled the monster to block either the torch or his attack.

Facing the young Taoist priest's gaze, which was waiting for an explanation, Wen Ling's eyes softened.

The current deterioration of relations between humans and demons is so severe that it's no exaggeration to compare them to the abyss. Thousands of years ago, there were also demon-hunting Taoists who believed that demons could be divided into good and bad.

They have gourds tied around their waists to capture demons. When they encounter demons causing trouble, they will not kill them all but put them into the gourds.

There is also a Demon-Subduing Tower on Jiangming Mountain, which is used to imprison demons.

But now, this demon-subduing tower is probably in a dilapidated state, and the Taoist priests no longer wear gourds to capture demons around their waists.

The fuse that intensified the hatred between the two tribes was the first war launched by Fu Yuan after he became the Demon King a thousand years ago. At that time, Jiangming Mountain was on the decline.

Corpses were everywhere, it was a disaster for the human race. Since Fu Yuan came to power, the persecution of the human race was truly horrific.

This has led to the current situation where humans and demons are irreconcilable. Taoist priests kill demons when they see them. In their eyes, demons are extremely evil and must be eliminated.

Thousands of years of hatred have created an abyss of hatred between the two ethnic groups.

So when she saw that the young Taoist priest was not at all anxious for her, was full of trust, and was waiting for her to explain, she felt that she must have her reasons for saving the fox demon.

Other Taoist priests would not be so patient.

"She is pregnant."

Wen Ling pointed at the nine-tailed fox demon's belly.

Qi Nian looked stunned, then murmured.

"That's no reason not to kill her."

"But she's pregnant with a human child."

Qinian was really stunned this time. A child of a human and a demon?

He had never heard of it.

He tightened his grip on the Taichu Sword, his mind in a mess for a moment.

"How do you know she's pregnant with someone else's child?"

Wen Ling rubbed her nose and started to talk nonsense.

"It was the old man who taught me the skills before. He told me not only to distinguish the aura of demons, but also to learn how to distinguish the aura of humans."

"When I first saw her, I felt that the demonic energy in her was impure, especially the demonic energy in her belly, which was the lightest and had the aura of a human."

The fox demon held her belly and knelt down to Qinian.

"I beg Taoist priest to spare my life now. I will die after the child is born."

Qinian was a little confused when he heard this, and Wen Ling did frown.

"You used a secret technique?"

"What secret technique?"

Qinian looked at Wen Ling in confusion.

Wen Ling's heart skipped a beat, thinking she had been careless. She laughed it off and continued to push the blame onto her fabricated master.

"Ah, that's right. My master was deceived by a fox demon many years ago before he learned the art of catching demons. Even so, the two of them actually spent some time together."

"My master told me that the fox demon once told her that her clan has a secret technique. If a demon becomes pregnant with a human child, the child will undoubtedly be half-demon. However, if the pregnant demon uses this secret technique, she can choose the child's bloodline. However, there is a price to pay. The moment the demon uses this secret technique and gives birth to the child, she will die."

The six-tailed fox demon responded.

"This girl is right. I have used the secret technique. The child in my belly is of human blood."

The six-tailed fox demon looked sad.

"My husband and I have always lived in this village. However, some time ago, my husband fell down the mountain while collecting herbs for me. At that time, I didn't know I was pregnant. When I heard the news of his death, I was so upset that I hurt myself. I didn't want to show my true form in front of the villagers."

"I didn't mean to hurt them, but they were giving me a hard time."

Qinian and Wen Ling believed what she said. The six-tailed fox demon was quite powerful. If it really wanted to deal with those villagers, they wouldn't even have time to interrogate them with torches.

The room suddenly became quiet.

Qinian lowered his eyes and stroked his fingers, feeling reluctant.

Wen Ling didn't say anything, but looked at Qinian quietly, wanting to see his decision. She was also a demon.

I don’t know what choice he will make when his identity as a demon is revealed.

"Master, the child is innocent. Please let me give birth to him."

The nine-tailed fox demon knelt on the ground, protecting his stomach with one hand, with a pleading look on his face.

"Does your husband know that you are a demon?"

Wen Ling was a little curious.

The six-tailed fox demon lowered his eyes, "I know."

Wen Ling nodded, but Qi Nian's eyes widened slightly in shock.

How could a human and a demon fall in love? This was a huge shock to him, overturning the teachings he had received for eighteen years.

"He found out by accident. I was already disheartened, but he didn't mind my demon identity at all. He even said he wanted to take me and the child to live in seclusion in the mountains, away from outsiders."

But man proposes, God disposes, and the six-tailed fox demon shed tears.

Qi Nian held Taichu's hand tightly and loosened it, but he could never make up his mind.

The instructions from his master and fellow disciples told him that if it was a demon, he had to get rid of it, no matter what the reason.

But if you ask him about his true feelings, he will feel dejected. He feels ashamed of his master's teachings and he cannot bear it.

She opened her lips with difficulty and said, "I can let you give birth to the child, but I will destroy all your demonic power to ensure that you will not do evil."

The six-tailed fox demon cried with joy, and Wen Ling also curled her lips and looked at Qinian.

Maybe it wasn't a dead end between him and her.

"Thank you, Taoist priest. I am willing to abolish all my demonic powers. Thank you—"

Before he finished speaking, the fox demon on the ground had transformed into its original form and lay on the ground without a breath.

"Junior brother, you are simply confused."

Yu Heng, who was wearing a black robe, took back the flute and looked at Qinian with anger on his face.

Facing his senior brother's disappointed eyes, Qinian's heart trembled, and he pursed his lips and spoke.

"Brother!"

"Junior brother, the demon race has always been insidious and cunning. How can you just listen to her one-sided words out of pity for her?"

"If she says the child in her arms is human, does that mean it's human? What if she uses her secret technique to choose a demon?"

Qi Nian's lips turned pale, and he was a little afraid to look at his senior brother's disappointed eyes.

"Junior brother, the burden you carry on your shoulders is extremely important. You must not go astray."

These words were extremely serious, and every word struck Qinian's heart hard.

He knew that if his master knew about his decision, he would probably be more heartbroken than his fellow apprentice. From childhood to adulthood, his master had always spent the most time and effort on him, providing him with the best magical instruments and the best environment for cultivation.

He didn't want to disappoint the expectations of his master and senior brothers, but he couldn't ignore his own heart.

He even suspected that his master had found the wrong person. He was not born to be a Taoist practitioner. How could he cultivate the Taoist heart to eliminate demons and defend the Tao?

"I'm sorry, brother."

The apology was so weak.

"You should say these three words to yourself: Are you worthy of the Dao heart you want to cultivate?"
