Chapter 69 The Queen's 36 Palaces (24)

The woman was backlit, so her expression was obscured.

But Li Yunxiao felt her tone was too flat...

This is absolutely not the reaction one should have after killing so many people.

Looking at the spotless, slender hand extended in front of him, Li Yunxiao felt a slight sense of fear.

Seeing Li Yunxiao's somewhat hesitant appearance, Yi Yi naturally knew what was going on.

After all, besides being ruthless killers, she also subtly exerted some mental pressure on Li Yunxiao.

It wasn't much, but it was enough to affect him, who was currently experiencing intense emotional turmoil.

Li Yunxiao lowered his head, swallowed hard, took a few deep breaths, and then said with some difficulty, "Let's untie the others first."

Yi Yi didn't answer, but nodded and said "Don't move." Everyone felt their hands and feet lighten as they were freed from their restraints.

Yi Yi subtly released her oppressive aura, then reached out again, signaling to Li Yunxiao that it was time to hurry on their way.

Li Yunxiao still didn't reach out, but the caravan captain smiled and came closer—

"Heroine, may I have a word with you in private?"

Being approached by a caravan was unexpected.

Yi Yi turned her head and carefully examined the caravan captain. Seeing that his expression was obsequious yet tinged with a strange sense of self-righteousness, Yi Yi thought she probably knew what he wanted to do.

It just so happens that my script needs a spark, and since you've come along, I'll have to trouble you.

As expected, just as Yi Yi had predicted, the caravan leader spoke with apparent difficulty: "It's like this, since the lady is alright, but our goods are completely unusable, we can't have made a wasted trip..."

He rubbed his hands together, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes, and then said in a seemingly bitter tone, "Could you please, heroine, consider that we have escorted you all this way and grant us some small compensation?"

Shameless.

Thinking this to herself, Yi Yi remained silent, simply gazing calmly at the caravan leader.

The man seemed to be getting angry and embarrassed because he couldn't get a response from Yi Yi, and then he began to blame her:

"Heroine, you knew the water was drugged, yet you didn't warn us, leaving us in this predicament. It's all your fault! You must compensate us!"

"Yes, yes, you have to compensate us!"

"And Brother Dali's death! It's all your fault too!"

Led by their captain, the caravan members began to jeer and denounce Yi Yi.

Seeing this, Li Yunxiao struggled to his feet, supporting himself against a pillar, and tried to calm the agitated emotions of these mortals.

Before any attempt to appease her could be made, the captain, who had gained the support of the entire merchant guild, seemed to have suddenly found himself on a moral high ground. He brazenly reached out to grab Yi Yi's hand, laughing wildly.

Then, that arrogant smile froze on his face...

The clamor of the crowd subsided, followed by the sound of something rolling to the ground, and then a sharp, explosive sound:

"Murder...murder!!!"

Li Yunxiao watched as the captain's head flew off and landed on the ground, with some of the gushing blood even splashing onto his face.

As blood gushed out, he suddenly felt all his strength drain away, and his vision went blank.

"next."

In the silence, he heard the Demon King's soft voice, as if he had uttered those three words without a trace of emotion.

It was like the King of Hell calling in the roll call.

Li Yunxiao shook his head violently and lunged at Yi Yi.

But Yi Yi, who was prepared, grabbed him by the neck and slammed him onto the table behind him.

"It's not your turn, go stand aside." It was that same indifferent voice, even though she had done something so outrageous!

Thinking this, Li Yunxiao roared, "He was just a mortal! Why did you kill him outright!?"

The cerebral congestion caused by being choked resulted in a ringing sound in Li Yunxiao's ears.

Amidst the cacophony of ringing in his ears, he clearly heard the Demon King chuckle softly and then say, "He's trying to bully others by abusing his power, and I'm just doing the same thing."

Seeing Li Yunxiao's face turn increasingly red, and his inability to speak for a long time despite his gasping for breath, he noticed that Li Yunxiao's face was turning even redder.

Yi Yi released Li Yunxiao's neck, threw him onto a supporting pillar, and then used magic to tie him up again with a rope.

After struggling to no avail, Li Yunxiao could only roar angrily at Yi Yi while struggling.

His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Yi Yi, the veins on his neck bulging with emotion: "But he's just a mortal. We should have just given him a warning and let him off the hook!"

"That's your sect's rule, not mine." Compared to Li Yunxiao's excitement, Yi Yi was as calm as a robot.

She tilted her head slightly and glanced at the caravan without any emotion.

A casual glance made those people shrink back as if they had seen some kind of demon, afraid to make a sound, trying to minimize their presence.

Seeing the scene that satisfied her, Yi Yi turned to Li Yunxiao and asked, "What, does his weakness give him the right to be right?"

"The strong should help the weak to bring peace to the world!"

In response to Li Yunxiao's viewpoint, Yi Yi directly refuted him: "I accept this viewpoint, but that doesn't mean I need to tolerate him just because he is the weaker party."

"But his crime doesn't warrant death!"

Yi Yi knew, of course, that the captain's crime did not warrant death, but for now, she still needed to play the role of someone with a blatantly distorted view of rules: "I set my own rules, and I've lived by them since I was born."

How could you do this...

What is this? Li Yunxiao couldn't explain it either.

After a long silence, he suddenly brought up another matter: "For the past few days, I thought the rumors I heard about the cruel and ruthless Demon King of the Demon Realm were all false, but now tell me, are the rumors true or not?"

Yi Yi blinked and replied expressionlessly, "If you're talking about things like destroying a sect or killing people to steal treasures, that's true, but everything else is just embellishment."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunxiao fell silent.

The upright and law-abiding major felt powerless when faced with a demon king whose very being was embodying the "law of the jungle."

He was not good at debating, nor could he change Yi Yi's mind with words.

After spending so many days together, he realized that the Demon Queen was not inherently evil; it was just that perhaps due to her upbringing or some other reason, she had developed a simplistic and crude way of thinking.

But this is wrong, and if it is not restrained, given the Demon King's unfathomable power...

It will cause a disaster!

Perhaps he should return to the sect with the Demon King. If he could change the Demon King's mind along the way and make her understand that it is best to be forgiving, that would be the best outcome.

If it's truly impossible to correct her thinking...

Perhaps our initial plan will come in handy!

Having figured all this out, Li Yunxiao raised his head. The young man, who only knew how to cultivate, didn't know how to hide his emotions, and Yi Yi could tell what he was thinking at a glance.

That's an arrogant idea. It seems this young hero hasn't learned not to interfere in other people's paths.

Ignoring Li Yunxiao's resolute expression, Yi Yi spoke again, her tone still ruthless and urging: "So, are you calm now? Can we set off?"
