There was no time to mourn for the humorous jailer, Xue; next to take the stage was—Shrek's Spring and Autumn!
"Myriad Demon King, I have something to assign to you!" Lin Yun revealed a highly, even ninety percent, twisted smile, turning to look meaningfully at the Myriad Demon King.
"If this plan succeeds, the human world will be plunged into endless turmoil and war!"
The bugle call for the Fierce Beasts' counterattack against the soul masters—
Has sounded!
The Myriad Demon King was immediately excited. He took three steps as one, knelt before Lin Yun, and said with fervent enthusiasm, "Please give your command, Honored One! This subordinate will perfectly complete your mission!"
Not only the Myriad Demon King, but Di Tian was also excited.
Ever since the first Angel God fought on behalf of humans against Fierce Beasts, elevating humans from being Fierce Beast food to their current status of competing as equals, or even suppressing Fierce Beasts, Di Tian had been looking forward to this day for a long time!
If not for waiting for the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena's revival, Di Tian would have long led the Fierce Beasts to counterattack humans and made Fierce Beasts the rulers of the Douluo Continent again after the Angel God left!
Now that Lin Yun had decided to counterattack humans, Di Tian felt his entire being ignite!
"Honored One, this subordinate is also willing to go through any lengths to contribute to your plan!" Di Tian also knelt on one knee, his expression very excited.
"Jailer Di, I'm very happy to see your dedication, but it's not your time to act yet." Lin Yun patted Di Tian's shoulder and said with a smile, "My plan needs the Myriad Demon King to start!"
Although Di Tian was a little disappointed, he nodded in agreement.
As long as Lin Yun decided to counterattack humans, it didn't matter if he wasn't needed for the time being. He would always await Lin Yun's summons, ready at any moment.
I, Di Tian, private first class—
Loyalty!
"Please instruct, Honored One!" The Myriad Demon King looked at Lin Yun seriously.
"Come, come here..." Lin Yun beckoned to the Myriad Demon King, who understandingly leaned in to listen.
"First, do this... then this... and finally this! Understand?"
"Understand, understand..." The Myriad Demon King nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking rice.
The two cunning individuals exchanged smiles, simultaneously letting out extremely twisted laughter.
"Hehehehehe..."
Beast Control Sect?
No!
It's the Douluo Continent's Spirit Hall branch!
Lin Yun and the Myriad Demon King's owl-like terrifying laughter finally pulled Xue Qingci, who was in a state of mental explosion, back to reality. Earlier, she had been emotionally breaking down over the news that her life wouldn't last long, but now she remembered...
She didn't seem to be safe anywhere right now!
Xue Qingci was on the verge of tears.
Not to mention the distant future, right now there was... cough...
The great demon Lin Yun, ostensibly a Shrek genius student, was actually a ten-thousand-year (?) Fierce Beast in human form, and even held a very high status among Fierce Beasts, an out-and-out double agent and high-level mole.
The unknown elderly ghost named Electrolux, mysterious in origin, was treated equally even by the great demon Lin Yun.
'Myriad Demon King' and 'Di Tian'...
Aren't these the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, ranked first among the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, and the Demon Eye Evil Tree, ranked fifth?!
Only able to live up to twenty years old?
No, she didn't even know if she would see tomorrow's sun!
And now, listening to the evil laughter coming from Lin Yun and the Myriad Demon King, Xue Qingci's soft long hair almost bristled into a hedgehog, and goosebumps rose all over her body.
'Oh my God... Why does a cute princess like me have to go through so much suffering in the human world...' Xue Qingci cried mournfully, huddling in a corner, trembling.
And at this moment, the 'great demon' Lin Yun suppressed his laughter and turned his seemingly man-eating eyes towards her.
"?!"
"Uh... B-big brother, is something wrong?" Xue Qingci forced an awkward yet polite smile, maintaining composure with strong survival instincts.
She knew that if she screamed in fear or cried a snotty, tearful mess at this moment, it would only make Lin Yun feel disgusted and more likely make him swiftly cut her down.
She didn't believe that Lin Yun, as a 'ten-thousand-year Fierce Beast in human form,' would have human compassion. The human tactic of pouting for sympathy would likely be useless.
The closer one gets to death, the more one understands the true meaning of survival!
It must be said that Xue Qingci's reaction greatly satisfied both Lin Yun and Electrolux, especially Electrolux, who was preparing to take Xue Qingci as his successor; his evaluation of her rose significantly.
'Calm and composed in the face of trouble, maintaining composure even when facing unknown threats, very good...' Electrolux secretly nodded.
Of course, he wouldn't take her as a disciple merely because of Xue Qingci's talent; necessary tests were still required. Having once caused boundless slaughter, he no longer wished for his successor to follow his old path.
Clearly, Xue Qingci had passed his first test.
Her character... was acceptable.
Lin Yun also didn't beat around the bush and directly told Xue Qingci his and Electrolux's complete conjecture.
After listening to Lin Yun's words, she fell silent.
To be honest, she wasn't stupid.
Before, she didn't want to, nor dared to, guess her own existence in that direction. But now that this last illusion was mercilessly torn apart by Lin Yun, this girl, who should have been innocent and romantic, was forced to accept her true fate.
Immense grief almost tore her heart apart.
At this moment, she no longer wanted to think about living or dying; she was now thinking...
Did her life truly have meaning?
'Girl who struggles against fate... I hope you make the right choice.' Lin Yun took a deep look at Xue Qingci, then turned and left with Di Tian.
The Myriad Demon King had already departed earlier to execute Lin Yun's plan, and now, he needed to take Di Tian to do something else. Electrolux was left behind, as Lin Yun wasn't the one taking a disciple; let Electrolux handle Xue Qingci himself.
Anyway, after a long period of nourishment from the Gold of Life, Electrolux would suffer no harm even if he left Lin Yun's spiritual sea for a while.
As for whether there was anything here that could harm them?
Don't underestimate Electrolux too much.
Lin Yun flapped his dragon wings, hovering in the air. Di Tian respectfully stood behind him, waiting for another person's arrival.
Not long after, a verdant green light streaked across the sky, stopping in front of Lin Yun.
"Honored One!"
A respectful, melodious voice quietly sounded. The verdant green light gradually faded, revealing Bijie, dressed in a green gown with black stockings wrapped around her legs.
Lin Yun nodded gently and said, "Bijie, you once treated a Golden Tortoise with strange symptoms, didn't you?"
"Its vitality was mysteriously draining, and it couldn't be replenished. Even you couldn't cure it. I believe you remember it."
"Now... take me to it!"
