The Yandere Male Lead Chases Me-Chapter 755: The Demon King Is Turning Dark 18
But Su Yan’s cultivation was still being suppressed.
It would take a month to release it.
Hua Qing showed no signs of impatience.
The two set out on the road on the third day she was able to walk.
Along the way out of the city, Hua Qing’s gaze swept over Su Yan now and then.
After a long time, he smiled lightly and said,
"My benefactor follows me so obediently without even asking where we’re headed. Are you not afraid I’ll abduct you and sell you off?"
Su Yan blinked and looked at him with a retort,
"Would you?"
Hua Qing’s smile deepened,
"My benefactor has saved me; how could I bear to lay a hand on you?"
His tender demeanor made it utterly unthinkable that the Hua Family massacre just days ago was by his hand.
A while later, Hua Qing began to explain proactively,
"We’re going to Human-snake Village to find a Holy Artifact."
Su Yan nodded, not asking further.
She had heard most of this story from Xiao Hua.
Originally, humans and the Demon Clan did not bother each other.
This was a well-known unspoken rule to everyone.
Furthermore, the Demon Clan never thought highly of humans.
So bonds formed between humans and demons were scarce in this mystical land, almost nonexistent.
But the Snake Demon was different.
Human-snake Village.
Half-human Half-snake, the entire village was exactly that.
It is rumored to descend from the offspring of a Snake Demon and a human.
Snakes are inherently lascivious, and Snake Demons are no different.
They act without concern for consequences.
Both male and female Snake Demons seek only transient pleasure.
This left behind the seeds of promiscuity.
Producing offspring neither human nor demon, despised by all and thus, abandoned.
Slowly, the abandoned Half-human Half-snakes became more numerous, and gradually they formed their own village.
They belonged neither to humans nor to demons.
They drew their own boundaries, living their own lives.
It is said that Human-snake Village has existed for thousands of years, and even as Demon Kings changed, they have not been eradicated.
The Holy Artifact that Hua Qing seeks is there.
Leaving the city, they began to move further away from the city gates.
Hua Qing stopped and inquired,
"My benefactor, are you tired from the journey?"
Su Yan wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Having her cultivation sealed, she couldn’t use Spiritual Power to hasten their travel, which made their progress very slow.
She licked her lips,
"I’m alright."
Hua Qing looked at her and suddenly stretched out his hand, wrapping it around her in an embrace.
Su Yan was startled, not having the chance to speak.
They had already taken off into the air.
She was stunned.
Looking down, she noticed that at some point, Hua Qing had transformed into sporting a snake’s tail.
He held her by the waist.
Lowering his head to look at Su Yan,
"Hold on tight, be careful not to fall off later."
Su Yan obediently extended her arms, encircling his neck.
Pressing closely against him, she closed her eyes.
Seeing how cooperatively she behaved, Hua Qing couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
The snake’s tail moved quickly.
With the addition of his enhanced cultivation,
the city gates were out of sight in just a few breaths.
After two hours had passed,
Hua Qing gradually came to a stop.
Winding his tail, he moved more slowly and continued forward.
After a while, Su Yan finally opened her eyes.
Watching him heading westward.
She looked up at him and said,
"I remember the books mentioned that Snake-man Village lives where the sun sets."
’The village of Half-human Half-snakes, a merciful gift from the gods, meant not for this world, and so the gods arranged for them to live where the sun sets. If you wish to reach there, head west—-----------"Demon King Descending"’
This is a passage from the book.
Describing Snake-man Village.
Hua Qing lowered his head, gazing at her beautiful face.
Perhaps the speed of his travel had been too rapid; the wind and sand had irritated her eyes.
Causing her to blink, her cheeks spotted with sand, her eyes rimmed with red.
Su Yan looked somewhat disheveled.
But to Hua Qing, she seemed so vulnerable and solely dependent on him, which was truly lovely.
