She became a god

Occasionally, a night breeze would blow by, and the dappled bamboo shadows cast by the moonlight on the window would dance along with it.

Tiger Ling had never heard her own heartbeat so clearly before.

why?

Why was Ye Qingzhou silent? Why did she stop asking herself questions?

With a nervous heart, Hu Ling feigned impatience, "Are you done asking?"

Ye Qingzhou said calmly, "It's late at night and the dew is heavy. It's rare for us to get together. If we can sit down and talk until dawn, that would be a wonderful thing."

A heart-to-heart talk?

Dawn?

Hu Ling was speechless. "Ye Qingzhou, there are ghosts and monsters here, don't you know that? At night, if we're not careful, we could all become their food. And you're in the mood for a long talk?"

"You want to die, but I, the princess, don't! Quickly find a way to get out of this awful place!"

Long Yi nodded in agreement. Although Hu Ling was ruthless, what she said was absolutely right.

Seeing that the two demons were determined to leave, Ye Qingzhou sighed, "Why must they leave? Sometimes..."

The words abruptly stopped, as Hu Ling had suddenly launched an attack.

Despite being seriously injured and knowing she was no match for Ye Qingzhou, Hu Ling still insisted on attacking. Why was that?

Long Yi was puzzled, but then he heard Hu Ling say anxiously, "Before Hu Yin was possessed, she asked me, 'Why do you have to leave?' The person standing in front of us may not be Ye Qingzhou!"

Upon hearing this, Long Yi's expression changed drastically, and he hesitated whether to join in the attack.

But then Ye Qingzhou dodged the attack and clapped his hands, laughing, "Hu Ling, they gave you a chance to live, but you didn't seize it."

Immediately, they bound Hu Ling.

"Now that things have come to this, why don't you understand that they are using desire as a bargaining chip in their so-called fair trade?"

"Since Hu Ling has reached a cooperation agreement with them, they should not be able to attack Hu Ling before the transaction is completed."

Hu Ling seemed to be deep in thought, and Long Yi asked, "They can reason too?"

Ye Qingzhou said calmly, "If it weren't for that, how could we have survived until now, given their abilities?"

“If Hu Ling is their partner, then you and I are the partners they are trying to win over, and the dead demons are the partners who completed the deal and paid the price.”

"The partner will not die until the deal is completed."

Hu Ling said, "My deal with them is almost complete."

The missing piece is naturally the envoys from the Dragon Clan and the Little Panda Clan.

If Ye Qingzhou's deduction is correct, then the Tiger Clan should have been killed after the Dragon Clan and the Little Panda Clan envoys were wiped out. Why did it happen so suddenly earlier?

"Because they couldn't wait, they lured your tiger clan to complete the second deal."

"A second deal?" Hu Ling murmured, "Could it be..."

Thinking about that, she felt extremely annoyed.

Ye Qingzhou spoke for her, "It tempted you, but it also gave you a chance. It asked, 'Do you really want to leave?' If I'm not mistaken, all the demons in your tiger clan said they wanted to leave."

"I just received a text message that the border of the Tiger Clan's territory is piled with the corpses of fellow Tiger Clan members."

They kept their word and did send off the tiger clan envoys, but only at the cost of their lives could they return home.

A chill ran down Long Yi's spine; these ghosts and monsters were far too terrifying.

Before you know it, you'll fall into their carefully orchestrated "deals" and gradually head towards your death.

The scariest thing is that you can't be without desires forever; this seems like a losing proposition.
