The Eight Empresses Betrayed Me, Only to Deeply Regret It After Being Reborn-Chapter 41: Blind
Feng Wuxie rolled on the ground, his body covered in blood, in a terribly wretched state.
A group of powerful demons surrounded him, watching him closely, their eyes full of hunger.
As the demon race grew weaker and their ambition to dominate the ancient battlefield of Tianjiao gradually faded, the order of the Demon King of All Spirits reappeared in the minds of the demons.
"Collect the blood of all spirits and offer it to the Demon King, in exchange for the supreme secret inheritance."
Naturally, Feng Wuxie, a demon with part of the Phoenix bloodline, caught the attention of the Little Dragon King.
Capturing Feng Wuxie was incredibly easy. One could simply send a small Demon King or a pure-blood demon to take him.
As they were about to strike, Feng Wuxie, already terrified to the point of breaking, suddenly shouted that he knew Yue Hongling—not only that, but they had an extremely good relationship.
This caused the demons to freeze in confusion.
The name "Yue Hongling" had nearly caused them to develop calluses in their ears.
She was a human woman so powerful that she made demons tremble.
But now, this half-blood phoenix, whose body was covered only in its precious blood, claimed to know Yue Hongling?
"Do you know, Tianwu, Tianwu tried to kill me once. It was Yue Hongling who saved me. It was Yue Hongling who killed Tianwu," Feng Wuxie hurriedly explained, trying to prove he knew Yue Hongling.
"Tianwu was also killed by Yue Hongling?"
The use of the word "also" was well-placed, fully proving that the powerful demons Yue Hongling had slain were not just one or two.
"Yes, yes, it was her who killed him."
And so, Feng Wuxie was brought before the Little Dragon King.
When the Little Dragon King heard this, his face darkened to the point of resembling coal.
Although he and Yue Hongling were enemies, that was due to their different races, naturally at odds.
But setting race ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ aside, he greatly admired Yue Hongling. She was an incredibly rare genius, a once-in-a-millennium prodigy.
Yet this garbage—saying that Yue Hongling had feelings for him—was something the Little Dragon King would never believe, and he immediately began to mercilessly beat Feng Wuxie.
Feng Wuxie felt like he was about to be beaten to death.
He had to prove himself, he had to prove it.
So, he took out the treasure, the conch.
The demons waited for Feng Wuxie to contact Yue Hongling. If there was no reply within five minutes, he would be beaten.
If no reply came after a quarter of an hour, Feng Wuxie would die.
As the quarter of an hour passed, Feng Wuxie sank into despair because he knew Yue Hongling rarely replied to him.
"Alright, time's up."
The Little Dragon King clapped his hands, a smile spreading across his face.
There was no voice coming from the conch, and honestly, the Little Dragon King breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought to himself, such a stunning woman like Yue Hongling, how could she possibly be interested in a coward like this?
If she really did, the Little Dragon King would be disappointed.
He approached Feng Wuxie, ready to take his blood.
Just as Feng Wuxie was completely desperate, the Little Dragon King's claws had already risen when suddenly, the conch trembled twice.
"Wait!"
Feng Wuxie suddenly screamed.
"She replied! She sent me a message!" Feng Wuxie cried out, nearly losing his mind in the face of death.
The Little Dragon King's claws stopped.
His eyes became deep, his pupils shrinking. If you looked closely, you could see the murderous intent contained in those narrowing pupils.
"Kneel!"
The Little Dragon King spoke coldly.
Feng Wuxie knelt before him, his body trembling uncontrollably.
"Listen!"
Feng Wuxie activated the conch, and Yue Hongling's voice came from within.
"Train well. You have the Phoenix bloodline. As long as you're willing to work hard, we can walk side by side, fighting against the world. I believe in you!"
Yue Hongling's gentle, clear voice echoed from the conch.
The Little Dragon King froze.
The demons around him widened their eyes, their faces full of disbelief.
Every single demon present doubted their ears.
Because they had truly heard Yue Hongling’s voice.
Yue Hongling’s voice toward them was always like this:
"Kill!" [Shouted in anger]
"Your fate is sealed!" [Said with disdain]
"This place belongs to the human race. Get out now, or there will be no mercy!" [Cold and ruthless]
"I’ll smash you with one punch!"
...
But now, her voice was calm, with even a hint of tenderness.
Yet, the words she spoke were still explosive.
What did it mean to walk side by side? What did it mean to fight the world? What did it mean by "I believe in you"?
What the hell!!!
Is this really Yue Hongling?
"Really, it’s Yue Hongling. I’m not lying, really..."
The Little Dragon King roared in fury, lifting his foot and kicking Feng Wuxie’s face hard.
"Boom!"
Feng Wuxie was sent flying, crashing into two large trees and vomiting blood, his body stiffening and bending from the excruciating pain.
"What exactly is your relationship with Yue Hongling?" The Little Dragon King grabbed Feng Wuxie by the hair, his eyes filled with cruelty as he asked.
"Good... good friends..."
"Have you done anything else?"
"No... nothing..."
The Little Dragon King slapped Feng Wuxie’s face again, causing him to spit blood nonstop.
At that moment, Feng Wuxie had only one thought: to survive. He would do anything to survive.
He had the Phoenix bloodline, and he would eventually become the strongest of the strong.
"I... I can help you. Yue... Yue Hongling is our demon race’s... our enemy. As long as you don’t kill me, I... I can help you lure her out..."
Feng Wuxie spoke first.
Hatred had already taken root in his heart. If it weren’t for his repeated requests to follow Yue Hongling, she would never have agreed.
How did he end up in such a miserable state?
It was all Yue Hongling’s fault!
It was all her fault!
The Little Dragon King paused, raising his head to look at the powerful demons.
All the demons were stunned.
Then, they grinned, revealing wicked smiles.
What a great idea!
What a brilliant idea!
The Little Dragon King couldn’t help but laugh. Yue Hongling, this is the kind of person you like?
Hahaha...
A woman like her, how blind could she be?
The Little Dragon King laughed dramatically, his entire body shaking.
Tears were falling from his eyes as he laughed.
But the next moment, his expression turned incredibly cold.
"Immediately contact the demon race, the ghost race, the divine race, and the spirit race. Do not contact the bald monk. Tell them the hunt for the human race has begun!"
"Yes!"
The Little Dragon King looked up at the sky.
Raindrops began falling through the clouds, drenching everything with a steady downpour.
Boom!
A thunderclap split the sky.

Lu Ye suddenly opened his eyes.
It was raining.
He remembered that in his past life, it was also in this rain that he lost his first life, killed by the siege of countless enemies.
In this life, it would be Yue Hongling’s turn.
