Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 381 - 317: Purple Gold Dragon Venerable! Do You Really Love Humans That Much?
Long Bai’s tone was filled with disbelief.
"A thousand years ago, humans and demons were still at odds. Humans, apart from giving some respect to my biological dad... ahem, giving some deference to the Dragon Palace, always slaughtered other demon races..."
"Now you’re telling me about human-demon equality, do you think I would believe that?"
"Or do you think just because some demon pets captured by humans get decent treatment, that’s the equality you speak of?"
Su Yuan shook his head and said:
"Too narrow! Miss Long Bai, your perspective is too narrow! What I want is true human-demon harmony!"
"Do you know? I have a Dharma Guardian King under my command who has been consistently striving for the idea of human-demon equality."
"Under her governance, the status of humans and demons is rapidly changing."
"There, demons can freely work human jobs and enjoy the same working hours and various benefits as humans."
"There, many humans resisted, believing demons shouldn’t do their jobs or share their working hours, but they were all suppressed by that Dharma Guardian King!"
"I believe it won’t be long before such human-demon equality will spread throughout the modern Cultivation Realm."
The expression of the ice-haired girl got out of control after hearing these words, her mouth agape. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Her inner thoughts echoed with astonishment along with Su Yuan’s words.
’What! Demons can actually experience the same life as humans?’
’What! Demons’ working hours can actually be the same as humans?’
’What! If humans don’t want demons to challenge their status, they might even be suppressed?’
’Has the outside world changed this much?’
However, Long Bai, after all, who had the mind of a ten-year-old and legally considered a hundred-year-old Lolita, wouldn’t just believe whatever Su Yuan said.
She turned to look at Chen Nuoyi:
"Is what the Guardian said true?"
Chen Nuoyi: "..."
Thinking of the hellish scenes witnessed at the Myriad Beasts University’s Beast Taming Department, Chen Nuoyi almost laughed.
The ice-haired Lolita thought spirit pets doing human work and having human working hours were a blessing.
"Yes, that’s correct!"
Yet, while thinking this, Chen Nuoyi quickly gave a very affirmative response.
Besides, she wasn’t exactly lying, as everything Su Yuan said was absolutely true.
If Long Bai misunderstood, that would be her problem.
[Long Bai’s Affection Level (60/200)]
Watching the rapid increase in favorability on the ice-haired Lolita’s face, Su Yuan sneered a sinister smile (pretentious) at the corner of his mouth.
The naive Dragon Race princess was unknowingly slipping into an abyss.
Of course, even though she already considered Su Yuan as a special pure-blood male, Long Bai’s little face did not reveal a bit, and she professionally moved on to the second question.
On the stone tablet, a new line of text appeared.
Question: A Nascent Soul Cultivator’s son from the Human Race has a shattered heart, urgently needing a transplant, thus he goes to the Qingqiu Fox Ancestral Land to seek the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart of the Demon Emperor’s son. If you were the Demon Emperor, would you choose to save him?
Note: With your strength and power, you could forcibly slay the Nascent Soul Cultivator!
As soon as the question appeared, a new illusion appeared in front of Su Yuan.
It was a Human Race Cultivator holding his son, half-kneeling in front of him and Chen Nuoyi.
Exchanging the heart of the Demon Emperor’s son for the heart of the Human Race Nascent Soul’s son, yet another classic life-for-life dilemma.
Su Yuan keenly realized this question seemed similar to the last, but on careful thought, was different.
In the previous question, the Human Race Cultivator and Snake Demon were both injured, indicating a mutual fight, where both were responsible and deserving punishment according to modern criminal law.
However, this question is simply an incident of a patient seeking organ donation through moral coercion.
The Qingqiu Fox Race is utterly innocent; helping the Human Race Cultivator is a favor, not helping is duty.
But the moment the question appeared, Su Yuan made a sweeping motion!
Ancient Corpse Refining executed instantly!
Chen Nuoyi happened to be familiar with all the techniques of Ancient Corpse Refining. After Su Yuan laid out the solution, the young girl got to work, turning the Nascent Soul’s son into a Walking Corpse in no time.
In this way, the Nascent Soul’s son’s soul could be preserved for a long time, giving the Nascent Soul Cultivator plenty of time to find a way to save his son!
[Long Bai’s Affection Level (80/100)]
’This male called Su Yuan... truly speaks with actions!’
’In the last question, he turned the Demon Race into a Blood Beast. In this question, he turned the Human Race into a Walking Corpse! Both sides are truly equal now!’
’You pass! You pass!’
Long Bai waved her little hand and immediately moved on to the next question.
Question: The Human Race is rampantly plundering the shape-shifting Fox Demons of the Qingqiu Fox Race. As the leader of the Qingqiu Fox Race, how would you resolve the conflict between both sides?
Note: The Qingqiu Fox Race is already on the brink of extinction.
A new illusion appeared before Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi.
This time, the illusion was extremely vast, manifesting half of the Fox Ancestral Land.
Here, tens of thousands of Human Race Cultivators launched a massive invasion, forcefully capturing panicked Fox-eared girls, Fox-eared Lolitas, Fox-eared Shota, and Fox-eared youth.
Evidently, the fate of these shape-shifting Fox Demons would be extremely miserable once captured.
Some Human Race Cultivators even committed indescribable atrocities towards some pretty Fox Demons on the spot.
As for the old and frail Fox Race elders, they were slaughtered mercilessly.
The entire scene resembled those sinister merchants capturing innocent Elves in illegal book illustrations, selling them as slaves for profit.
As Su Yuan anticipated, in this question, the Human Race behaved more excessively, completely turning into perpetrators.
So, in this situation, should he still assist the Human Race or reverse sides to aid the Demons?
Chen Nuoyi was already immersed in distress and contemplation.
Su Yuan, on the other hand, unhesitatingly eavesdropped on Long Bai, the chatty young girl’s inner voice.
’Damn biological dad, this question is too hard. How can the male answer?’
Oh, she already hopes I can pass? Eighty points of favorability feels invigorating; the Dragon Race princess is nearing a fall from grace.
’Following the logic of the first two questions, this question seemingly demands mindlessly aiding the Human Race, but in reality, my biological dad isn’t blindly loyal."
"He would also punish those humans oppressing demons if it seemed unjust.’
Oh? Then it’s indeed a misleading question, so should I eliminate these Human demons?
’But demons killing humans is a taboo, even if aiding the demons here is right, one cannot harm the Humans’ lives, only suppress them.’
"Whether assisting in killing demons or aiding demons in killing humans is wrong."
"Only by capturing and returning the Human Race can the problem be resolved, but the male and female here both look stupid, can they indeed successfully solve the question?"
Truly, without her saying so, I’d have wrecked my brain imagining such skewed priorities of the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable.
Nevertheless, Su Yuan being human himself, wouldn’t blame the one great Draconic Divinity Transformation for countless Human Race’s benefit.
In this question, he didn’t mess around but acted as Long Bai’s inner voice suggested, suppressing and containing all the Human Race.
Of course, to ensure peace of mind, Su Yuan crushed all the Demon Pills of this group of Human demons.
This spectacle delighted Long Bai, who clapped her hands, Su Yuan’s favorability increasing again by ten points.
"Congratulations on passing the first stage of the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable’s legacy."
With a wave of Long Bai’s small hand, the scene of the Qingqiu Fox Race disappeared, and a semblance of spirit arose in her icy, pitch-black, almost corrupted eyes.
Long Bai lightly said:
"Next, you may choose your rewards for passing the first stage."
"There are three rewards in total, one of which is the incomplete Dragon King Bloodline, previously chosen by the last challenger."
As she spoke, three rows of Spiritual Runes immediately appeared on the stone tablet.
[Reward One: Incomplete Dragon King Bloodline: Enables the random awakening of different Dragon Race Talent (can complete the bloodline through subsequent pass rewards).]
[Reward Two: Dragon Saliva Pool Bathing: Can greatly enhance physical strength and significantly advance cultivation.]"
[Reward Three: Acquire partial intelligence of the next stage and gain seven days of preparation time.]
