Chapter 1424: Chapter 1315: A Demon
"Betrayed by her own family, betrayed by the whole world... this Lan Ji is just too pitiful." Du Bingxin couldn’t help her eyes turning red as well.
Originally she and Lan Ji were supposed to be mortal enemies, both being the eldest young ladies of their families, but Lan Ji’s fate was just too tragic, making her feel bad in her heart too.
Ye Qingfeng couldn’t be bothered with this woman; she came to find trouble with him all day long and he was already fed up. Now that the Kong Family was wiped out, maybe her personality would change drastically.
Ye Qingfeng turned around and found Rui Xiaoqiao standing there in a daze, her eyes vacant.
"Rui Xiaoqiao, what’s wrong with you?"
Ye Qingfeng reached out, wanting to shake her.
"Don’t touch me!"
Suddenly, Rui Xiaoqiao snapped back to herself and screamed.
Her eyes fixed on Ye Qingfeng, those bright, sparkling pupils trembling nonstop.
"Why? Why?" Rui Xiaoqiao stared rigidly at Ye Qingfeng.
"Why what?" Ye Qingfeng’s brows furrowed.
This girl had always listened to him; now what kind of tantrum was she going to throw?
"Why did you kill everyone in the Kong Family? Even if that girl’s father and grandfather were bad people, even if they had evil intentions, you could have just killed them. Why did you have to kill everyone in the Kong Family?"
Rui Xiaoqiao retreated a few steps, shouting loudly.
Ye Qingfeng kept his mouth shut, as calm as a block of Cold Ice.
He was the dignified Nine Tribulations Immortal Venerable—he killed because he killed; did he need to explain himself to anyone?
Although he had tricked ten Spirit Stones out of Rui Xiaoqiao and Ye Qingfeng was indeed grateful, a few low-grade Spirit Stones were far from enough to make him lower his head.
"Say something, why won’t you explain? So many innocent people—why did you have to kill them all!" Seeing Ye Qingfeng remain silent, Rui Xiaoqiao grew even more agitated.
She rushed forward, her petite, fair hand curling into a fist, hammering against Ye Qingfeng’s chest.
But she didn’t use Spiritual Power.
To a simple girl like her, Ye Qingfeng coldly slaughtering so many people was something she really couldn’t accept.
"You killed so many people—what’s the difference between you and that girl who just called you a Demon?" Rui Xiaoqiao shouted sharply, still pounding on Ye Qingfeng’s chest.
Finally, Ye Qingfeng moved; he grabbed Rui Xiaoqiao’s wrist in one go, his expression incomparably calm, his eyes like an ancient well, without the slightest ripple.
"She was right. I was a Demon to begin with."
That voice, cold as thousand-year Cold Ice, floated lightly out of Ye Qingfeng’s mouth.
Lan Ji had been kept in the dark all along, knowing nothing, like some kind of fool.
But there was one thing she had said right: Ye Qingfeng really was a Demon.
An even more ruthless Demon than they had imagined.
Rui Xiaoqiao raised her head, her eyes trembling slightly, unable to believe it.
In her heart, Ye Qingfeng had always been a very kind existence, the one who saved her when she was in greatest danger.
He helped her kill Kong Rong and even helped her modify the Taixu Scripture so she could directly absorb the Spiritual Power within Spirit Stones.
Every single one of these things held extraordinary meaning to Rui Xiaoqiao, so she had always felt grateful and full of admiration for Ye Qingfeng, following behind him and affectionately calling him Brother Feng.
She never could have imagined that the kind Brother Feng in her heart would, in a fit of rage, slaughter so many people.
Although the people of the Kong Family were indeed very bad, which made Rui Xiaoqiao herself furious, when so many people died right before her eyes, she really couldn’t accept it in her heart.
On Ye Qingfeng’s pure white shirt, there were still bloodstains; he was a bloodthirsty Demon.
Rui Xiaoqiao was hoping Ye Qingfeng could give her an explanation. Even if he just bluntly denounced the Kong Family for being too wicked, she’d be able to accept it a little more.
But she never thought Ye Qingfeng would just say something like that outright.
"Ye Qingfeng, I don’t ever want to see you again."
Rui Xiaoqiao suddenly yanked her hand free from Ye Qingfeng’s grip, then turned and ran off, just like Lan Ji, running out of the Kong Family estate.
She couldn’t accept being together with a cold-blooded killer of a Demon.
Ye Qingfeng just stood there where he was, not going after Rui Xiaoqiao. When he grabbed her just now, he had already left a Divine Sense mark on her body.
Anyway, Ye Qingfeng was in it for her senior sister’s Mid Grade Spirit Stone; he could just go find her when the time came.
"This—"
Everyone from the Du Family was stunned; they hadn’t expected that the girl who had come with Ye Qingfeng would suddenly fall out with him.
"Don’t worry about her." Ye Qingfeng waved his hand, not caring.
Ye Qingfeng walked over to Luo Jiuya. He had taken a kick from Fu Xiao and was injured at this moment. The injury wasn’t serious, but he was sitting cross-legged on the ground Cultivating.
"Done?" Ye Qingfeng asked directly.
"Mm, more or less."
Luo Jiuya opened his eyes and immediately stood up.
"Here, take this and use it later. It’ll completely clear up your injuries."
Ye Qingfeng directly took out a bottle of Healing Pills from his Space Ring and tossed it to Luo Jiuya.
After doing that, he walked over and searched Pang Chenxi and Fu Xiao, and sure enough, both of them had Spirit Stones on them.
Pang Chenxi had two Spirit Stones on him, Fu Xiao had three. Looked like this Immortal Heart Sect really was a big Sect; Rui Xiaoqiao, a mere Primary War General, already had ten low-grade Spirit Stones.
Yet Pang Chenxi and Fu Xiao—one a Peak War General and the other a Junior War King—together only had five low-grade Spirit Stones.
Rui Xiaoqiao was practically a little rich lady.
Seeing Ye Qingfeng put away the low-grade Spirit Stones, a trace of longing flashed in Luo Jiuya’s eyes. If he had these Spirit Stones, he could break through to the War King Realm.
The War King Realm—those were top-tier experts.
Looking across the whole of Huaxia, there were only a handful of people who had reached the War King Realm.
But in front of this Demon Ye Qingfeng, Luo Jiuya didn’t dare reveal the slightest hint of greed.
Aside from that, Pang Chenxi and Fu Xiao also had some Elixirs on them: some for healing and some for Cultivation, but to Ye Qingfeng they were all garbage.
"All of these are yours."
Ye Qingfeng casually tossed the Elixirs to Luo Jiuya. Instantly, the originally despondent Luo Jiuya’s face lit up with joy.
These Elixirs might be garbage to Ye Qingfeng, but to him they were rare treasures.
Elixirs produced in the Ancient Martial World were absolutely top-notch!
Though their value couldn’t compare to Spirit Stones, they were still precious enough. With the help of Elixirs, plus his hard work in Cultivation, he still had a chance to break through to the War King Realm.
Ye Qingfeng searched Fu Xiao’s body again and fished out an ancient-looking thread-bound book—it was a Cultivation Method.
Ye Qingfeng flipped through it casually. No surprise, it was trash again, not even as good as Rui Xiaoqiao’s Taixu Scripture, completely useless to him.
"This is yours too."
Ye Qingfeng casually tossed it to Luo Jiuya again.
