Chapter 56 She is Simply Not Human

Cornered by Feng Xi on the high ground of morality, Elder Liu had to pinch his nose and express his willingness to fork out twenty thousand spiritual stones to reward the garrison soldiers.

Originally he wanted to say ten thousand, but Feng Xi kept emphasizing that there were fifteen hundred garrison soldiers present.

So he had no choice but to say twenty thousand.

Feng Xi smiled and said, "Elder Liu is truly worthy of being an elder of the Mixed Essence Sect; you are so generous upon your first move, displaying a true sect demeanor!

In addition, let Lord City Lord Hu interrogate these captives. After all, we still have to guard against a demon counterattack, and we don't have the energy for this."

Elder Liu had no objections to this point.

Thus, Feng Xi led the garrison soldiers to escort the demon captives back to Sector D, planning to escort them back to Stability City after dawn.

Even the corpses of those demons were brought back to Sector D together.

On the way, Xing Wu curiously asked Feng Xi, "I haven't had the chance to ask, where did the garrison soldiers come from?"

Feng Xi immediately said, "Didn't a golden-eyed bloody sea elephant emerge from the sea during the day? I figured that whenever something is out of the ordinary, there must be a demon behind it, so I went to find Lord City Lord Hu.

You have to hand it to him, how else could he be a city lord? He is far-sighted and thinks ahead. Sensing that trouble might happen, he sent garrison soldiers over to reinforce us."

She spoke in a very loud voice, and the garrison soldiers heard every word clearly.

Their reverence for their own city lord had reached an unprecedented height!

Several close confidants immediately sent messages to City Lord Hu, on one hand reporting the situation here, and on the other hand expressing their admiration.

Upon receiving the news, City Lord Hu finally let go of the heart that had been hanging in suspense.

He hadn't dared to leave Stability City to provide reinforcements, not because he was afraid of death, but because he was afraid the demons would seize the opportunity to cause chaos within the city.

City Lord Hu's favorable impression of Feng Xi was simply off the charts right now!

If not for her suggestion, a major disaster definitely would have happened today!

What he never expected even more was that Feng Xi had actually placed the halo of achievement right upon his head.

This child Feng Xi was truly someone worth associating with!

When Feng Xi returned to Sector D, she saw Elder Duanmu craning his neck and looking out from afar.

Although he had already received the news that the human race had won a great victory and Feng Xi was safe and sound, he still wouldn't feel completely at ease until he laid eyes on her.

Seeing Feng Xi and Jun Wen return safe and sound now, he finally felt completely relieved.

Feng Xi briefly recounted the turn of events to Elder Duanmu, and then sent people to... loot the storage demon rings of those demon captives and corpses.

Jun Wen: "..."

He had assumed that the reason Feng Xi didn't escort the captives directly back to Stability City was out of safety considerations, never imagining that this fellow simply wanted to make a small fortune.

Elder Duanmu felt that doing this was somewhat inappropriate, but Feng Xi let out a chuckle:

"These are our captives, what's wrong with the spoils belonging to us? If the Mixed Essence Sect has the nerve to come and ask for them, I'll hand them over!"

Elder Duanmu fell silent.

Because he felt that Elder Liu, as long as he had a shred of face left, would never come to ask for them.

After gathering up the storage demon rings, Feng Xi said to Elder Duanmu:

"You rest for a bit first; I'm going to go interrogate those captives!"

Elder Duanmu certainly wouldn't agree to that and followed her to the so-called hall.

Feng Xi first had the leading demon commander, Shi Wuchen, brought before her.

Before speaking, Feng Xi laughed twice, making Shi Wuchen inexplicably feel a chill.

"Are you feeling very unconvinced in your heart about being captured by us?

I am a kind-hearted person, and I hate seeing anyone suffer an injustice.

How about this, I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself.

Elder Duanmu, please seal a portion of his cultivation; I want to spar with him."

Although Elder Duanmu felt she was just messing around blindly, Feng Xi's performance today had been far too outstanding, so he decided to indulge her.

Besides, with him standing right beside them, Shi Wuchen wouldn't be able to hurt Feng Xi.

He sealed seventy percent of Shi Wuchen's cultivation and then untied the spirit-binding rope on him.

A flash of viciousness crossed Shi Wuchen's eyes. Even if he couldn't survive today, he would drag this stinky girl down to hell with him.

Gritting his teeth, he unleashed a fierce tiger transformed from demonic energy toward Feng Xi.

The fierce tiger lunged at Feng Xi with its maw wide open.

Feng Xi merely nimbly dodged and did not retaliate.

And then... she kept dodging.

Shi Wuchen was gritting his teeth at first, but it eventually turned into heavy panting.

He was already injured, and seventy percent of his cultivation was sealed—how could he possibly withstand such torment?!

Feng Xi wore a look of utter dissatisfaction:

"Out of breath already after just this little while?

I just don't get it, how did the demon race ever pick a good-for-nothing weakling like you to lead a team?

No wonder your demon race was almost completely wiped out. As the saying goes, a weak soldier ruins a single man, and a weak general ruins a whole camp—you really are a coward!"

A mouthful of blood spewed from Shi Wuchen's mouth!

He finally understood the stinky girl's real intention!

She was humiliating him! Toying with him!

How could such scum ever appear within the human race?!

No, she wasn't even human!

Feng Xi said to Elder Duanmu, "Please unseal a bit more of his cultivation."

Elder Duanmu complied.

He figured Feng Xi was just messing around anyway, which was understandable given her young age; being a bit playful was normal.

Once a portion of his cultivation was unsealed, Shi Wuchen recovered his physical strength and began fighting Feng Xi again.

Unfortunately, he couldn't even touch a single strand of Feng Xi's hair, because Feng Xi ran faster than a rabbit.

Shi Wuchen simply couldn't comprehend how this stinky girl, who appeared to be only at the Qi Condensation stage, could have such abundant physical and spiritual strength.

Having run for so long, she didn't show the slightest sign of fatigue?

Before long, he was exhausted and collapsed to the ground again, whereupon Feng Xi had Elder Duanmu unseal yet another portion of his cultivation...

After a few repetitions of this, Shi Wuchen lay paralyzed on the ground.

"Ask whatever you want, just stop humiliating me like this."

Feng Xi: "..."

I just wanted to help the little black ball absorb more demonic energy and practice my footwork along the way, how was that humiliating you?

However, since you volunteered to say so, I won't turn you down.

Thus, Feng Xi asked:

"Whenever your demon race harassed the human race in the past, you only ever sent a few hundred people. Why did you send so many this time?"

Shi Wuchen replied weakly:

"The four major human sects came to provide reinforcements, so we wanted to teach you all a lesson, and it would be even better if we could capture a direct disciple to take back."

Feng Xi nodded. "Then why did you choose to land in Sector A instead of Sector D?"

Shi Wuchen gritted his teeth and said, "We originally wanted to land in Sector D, but halfway there, we ran into a golden-eyed bloody sea elephant that attacked us like it had gone mad.

We had no choice but to give up landing in Sector D and chose Sector A instead, preparing to launch a surprise attack."

Feng Xi: "..."

No matter what, she never expected it to be for such a reason!

She continued to ask, "Do you have any subsequent sneak attack plans?"

Shi Wuchen shook his head to indicate he didn't know.

Feng Xi figured it was normal for a low-level commander like him not to know, so she changed the subject:

"I am someone who loves hearing gossip. Tell me some fresh news about your demon race!

Whether it's about your Shadow Demon clan or any other demon clan, it's all fine!

If you tell me something good, I can put in a good word for you in front of City Lord Hu to spare your little life.

As long as the green hills remain, there's no need to worry about firewood; who knows, maybe one day you'll have a chance to escape back to the demon race!"

Elder Duanmu: "..."

He had originally wanted to stop her, but seeing that the two little hair buns on top of Feng Xi's head had come undone and her face was covered in stains of blood, his heart softened and he swallowed his words back down.

Although Shi Wuchen felt that Feng Xi seemed like a little lunatic, he still wrung his brains and shared some gossip he knew with Feng Xi.

Feng Xi listened with wide-open eyes, and whenever they touched upon content that interested her, she would even discuss it with Shi Wuchen.

The eyes of both the human and the demon radiated the brilliant light of gossip!

Jun Wen: "..."

Elder Duanmu: "..."
