Chapter 612: Negotiation (1)
The demons could not understand that in this world, apart from the contract, there was something else that the mythical beasts would answer to, and that was ties of friends.h.i.+p.
The three mythical beasts conquered the sky. The two advanced demons did not have to think with their brains to know they had no advantage at all.
“Well, lady, I think there is some misunderstanding between us. We were just making a joke as a way to welcome you. We are all demons with good manners. We haven’t eaten any humans for hundreds of years. How can we do something so demeaning as to eat humans?” The two demons abandoned their arrogance at once. They put on a smile and spoke to Shen Yanxiao with a kind and pleasant att.i.tude.
Advanced demons were highly intelligent. They were not animals driven by primal urges. They knew that a wise man must submit to fate!
Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrows and sized the two demons that went back on their words so quickly.
“I have told you that the demons here are a bunch of hillbillies.” Freud laughed heartlessly. He found it very funny to see how his fellow demons could act so differently from just a moment ago.
Shen Yanxiao glanced at Freud; he was not a kind character himself!
Du Lang and the others were still in shock over the change demonstrated by the two advanced demons. Du Lang knew that many people would cave under pressure, but he did not realize that demons could be this shameless as well.
A joke? That was not a joke!
If it were not for Shen Yanxiao, they would have become food for those demons!
“Oh? You were making a joke, right?” Shen Yanxiao smirked wickedly.
The two demons knew that they were out of luck that day. They thought that someone had delivered fresh food to their doorstep. How could they antic.i.p.ate that they would encounter that freaky human punk!
Had humans evolved that much during the hundreds of years when the demons stayed in the Forsaken Land?
“Yes! That was just a joke, for sure!” The two demons were worried that the three mythical beasts above their heads would trample them to their deaths. They nodded quickly, fearing that one second late would mean their tragic deaths.
Food was precious, and dignity had value, but both could be forsaken for the sake of their lives…
Shen Yanxiao giggled. The demons were an interesting race.
“Don’t worry. I will not do anything to you. I just have something I want to discuss with you,” Shen Yanxiao said with a smile.
“Discuss with us?” The two demons looked at each other. They had never heard of any human being willing to sit down and talk to the demons calmly.
Demons and humans were born to be enemies. When demons were more powerful, humans were their food. When humans gained the advantage, demons would become the subjects that they must eliminate.
However, that human defied all the conventions. It was already impressive that she would negotiate with the demons in their habitat, not to emotion how unbelievable it was for her to bring an advanced demon with her.
All the doubts and suspicion aside, they were not as stupid as to bargain with Shen Yanxiao.
“Sure! Talk as you like!” The two demons said with one voice.
So, Shen Yanxiao dragged Freud with her, stepped forward, and huddled with the two demons for a conversation.
They kept their voice down, so Du Lang and the others could not hear it.
They just stared at the back of Shen Yanxiao with horror in their eyes…
How did she dare to bring an advanced demon with her? How could she talk cheerfully and humorously while surrounded by three advanced demons?
Would any normal person be capable of such doings?
