A concubine? You're more like a joke. I'd rather send you to your death.

The house was spacious and bright, with a table, four chairs, and a soft couch by the window. The whole house could be described as bare.

However, the wood used is of the highest quality and is quite valuable.

Bai Luoluo couldn't help but gasp; Jiao Wushang was truly frugal.

There was no one inside; only the sound of splashing water could be heard as Jiao Wushang instantly appeared inside.

Leng Ye was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Is this... even human?

But though he thought about it, he didn't dare ask too many questions, and instead glanced at the Grand Preceptor with his eyes turned to the side.

"Your place is a little different from what I expected."

Bai Luoluo scanned everything inside the room.

"Is it?"

The Imperial Advisor sat down and gestured for the two men to sit down as well.

"I thought it was a paradise on earth, but I didn't expect it to be so simple."

Bai Luoluo sat down and said with a smile.

Honestly, demons and immortals who cultivate all live in places filled with ethereal beauty.

“How could a fairyland be in this place?” Jiao Wushang waved his hand, and two cups of tea appeared in front of Bai Luoluo and Leng Ye. “I like nature, I like wooden houses, and I like the feeling of freedom. No guests have visited me in recent years.”

Seeing the teacup that suddenly appeared, Bai Luoluo picked it up and took a sip.

"Good tea is refreshing and invigorating; a sip of it instantly makes you feel refreshed."

Bai Luoluo praised, "This is the truth; this tea is no ordinary tea."

Leng Ye stared blankly, and upon hearing Bai Luoluo's words, he curiously picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

The aroma of the tea fills the air upon tasting, instantly washing away any fatigue.

"If you like it, I'll give you two cans when you leave."

Jiao Wushang said with a smile.

"Thank you very much."

Bai Luoluo naturally wouldn't refuse; this was a good thing.

"The disappearance of the Third Prince may be related to the Canglang Kingdom."

Jiao Wushang had gone to Canglang Kingdom a few days ago to look for spirit stones, but he did not expect that the Canglang Kingdom's palace was shrouded in a strong demonic aura.

During his investigation, he discovered that the Grand Preceptor of the Canglang Kingdom was not human either; he was more like a half-human, half-demon.

Jiao Wushang didn't care about these things; all he needed to do was find the spirit stones.

The spirit stone was in the hands of the Grand Preceptor, and the two naturally fought. The Grand Preceptor was no match for him and fled. In the end, the spirit stone was taken back by Jiao Wushang. It is said that this spirit stone is the symbol of each generation of Grand Preceptors of the Canglang Kingdom, a sacred object passed down from generation to generation.

The Imperial Preceptor used the spiritual energy on the spirit stone to absorb its essence, and even captured and devoured some intelligent little demons. Over time, he turned into a monster that was neither human nor ghost.

Jiao Wushang did not linger. After all, the royal family of Canglang Kingdom wanted to achieve immortality with the help of the national teacher. They had done many bad things and their luck had run out, so they would perish sooner or later.

What does the Canglang Kingdom want Gu Yanjin for?

Bai Luoluo frowned, wondering if she had nothing better to do.

"As expected, they wanted to absorb his luck, but they were really stupid. Gu Yanjin's luck was almost gone, so it was of little use."

After all, the fortune of the Canglang Kingdom has run out and needs to be replenished.

Perhaps they heard that Gu Yanjin was a chosen one with great fortune and wanted to possess him to achieve their own goals.

"Such a person has appeared in the Canglang Kingdom, and he can take people away without anyone noticing. He must not be human."

Bai Luoluo sneered, "A person without luck would be wasting their time trying to break someone out of prison."

Wouldn't it be great if Gu Yanjin were directly drained to death?

You don't even need to lift a finger; the trash dies on its own.

"The Grand Preceptor of the Azure Wolf Kingdom is a monster, and the Azure Wolf Emperor is obsessed with immortality, so he may no longer be human."

A demonic aura filled the sky, and the entire palace reeked of blood; there was not a trace of human life.

The dragon vein's aura was so weak it was almost undetectable, suppressed by evil energy and utterly lifeless.

If things continue like this, the country's demise is only a matter of time.

The people suffered greatly, and resentment arose everywhere.

The little demons and humans who were devoured and died, their resentment too heavy, have long been lingering outside the palace. Now that he has taken the spirit stone, the formation will soon fail and the dragon energy will be exhausted. That will be the time for them to take revenge. At that time, the Imperial Advisor and the Emperor may be torn to pieces.

The Imperial Advisor, fearing the consequences of losing spirit stones, then set his sights on Gu Yanjin.

"Wouldn't that endanger Xiling?"

Bai Luoluo was somewhat surprised. If the emperor wasn't human, then wasn't he a demon?

"Emperor Canglang is currently preoccupied with his own problems. He has exhausted the entire royal family's fortune in pursuit of immortality, and now the backlash has taken hold. He may very well suffer the consequences."

"Could Gu Yanjin just die already?"

"It's hard to say for sure. They might survive, or they might be refined and eaten by the Canglang Kingdom."

"The Grand Preceptor of the Azure Wolf Kingdom is so ruthless."

Bai Luoluo couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Gu Yanjin for three seconds. He was already dead, but to be eaten was an even bigger problem.

"He is no longer human."

"The Canglang Kingdom is truly teeming with monsters."

"Those who defy the laws of nature in pursuit of immortality must pay a price; such evil arts will ultimately only bring about their own downfall."

Humans have a destiny, and so do demons. Each time a tribulation is overcome, a demon can live for thousands or tens of thousands of years, but the price is something that humans cannot bear.

This is the rule of the universe, and also the constraint of the laws of nature.

No one—human, demon, immortal, or even god—can disobey this rule.

"So you mean we don't need to worry about Gu Yanjin. What's the best way to talk to the outside world? You need to speak to the Emperor about this matter. After all, the people and ministers of Xiling still remember the matter of the Chosen One. If something goes wrong, it could cause a huge uproar."

"You came to see me just for this?"

Jiao Wushang tilted his head and asked.

"This is a serious matter, and I want to settle things here before we leave."

Bai Luoluo said with a serious expression.

The world is foolish; the chosen one has been lost, a matter of great importance that could destabilize the very foundation of the nation.

Only Jiao Wushang's intervention can quell the situation.

"Alright, I've found the location of the Dragon Soul Wood, but whether I'll actually find it depends on fate."

"I've noticed that you're incredibly efficient."

Bai Luoluo felt like she was always picking up bargains.

She had agreed to find three treasures, but now Jiao Wushang had done it all for her, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

Tu Shanyuan was really good to her, but she didn't actually help him much.

"I want to leave as soon as possible, and I also want to help Tu Shanyuan, so I naturally have to put in a lot of effort."

He is a thousand-year-old dragon, appearing and disappearing without a trace. A trip to the Canglang Kingdom takes only the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

"Thanks to you, otherwise I might not have been able to get any treasures."

Bai Luoluo is truly grateful.

She probably never dreamed that her ordinary life would lead her to travel to the world of a book, make two monster friends, and even get married.

"No need to be polite, you are the most unique human being I have ever met."

Jiao Wushang really liked Bai Luoluo's personality, which was different from all the other humans.

Listening to their conversation, Leng Ye felt that something was off.

What human, what monster, not human.

Who isn't human, and who is a monster?

Is the Imperial Advisor not human?

Thinking of this, Leng Ye felt a cold sweat break out on his back, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

Will he be silenced?
