Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System

Chapter 569 - 490: Demon Refining True Monarch: You Beast! I’ll Kill You!

"Nuoyi, why do I believe I should bear the heavy responsibility for the future of our Blue Alliance?"

Su Yuan replied in a similarly earnest tone.

"Besides... if we fail, we’re war criminals, but if we win, we’re heroes!"

Chen Nuoyi shook her head.

The words had already reached this point; she couldn’t persuade further. They would meet again in the future on the Immortal Execution Platform.

Su Yuan went to Zhu Tianqing, snatched the Demon Dream Grass from her hands, and wiped the sticky juice off her face with a tissue.

Without the stimulation of the Demon Dream Grass’s scent, the sacred and intelligent Celestial Hunting Saintess gradually regained consciousness.

She climbed up from the grass, still somewhat dazed, and observed her surroundings with bewilderment.

"Where am I?"

"You overindulged; this is my fault. I shouldn’t have entrusted such dangerous strategic material to you."

Su Yuan said apologetically, waving the herb in his hand.

At the sight of the Demon Dream Grass, Zhu Tianqing’s eyes instantly sharpened, like a cat fixated on a cat teaser, unable to look away.

Seeing this, Su Yuan couldn’t help but feel a pang of worry.

Wasn’t it said that the Demon Dream Grass wasn’t addictive? Has it evolved?

Otherwise, wouldn’t he be chopped to pieces by Zhu Tianqing’s parents?!

Fortunately, the thing Su Yuan feared most didn’t happen. After staring at the Demon Dream Grass for a while, Zhu Tianqing managed to look away with her strong willpower.

"This thing is too dangerous."

She seemed to recall the fear of being dominated by her Demon Race instincts, and said with lingering fear:

"Although it’s not addictive, I believe that most Demon Race members, after experiencing the feeling it brings, would indulge in it again for another experience."

"And evidently, the Demon Race has always been unable to control their nature."

Su Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s good that it’s not addictive.

With Zhu Tianqing’s example, he had an accurate understanding of Demon Dream Grass.

The evolved Demon Dream Grass is still like catnip; it doesn’t harm the body when consumed by the Demon Race, and after using it, there are no withdrawal symptoms if not consumed again.

However, if they encounter Demon Dream Grass again, Demon Race members will likely use it voluntarily.

It’s like the needlework boys secretly do at night; not doing it has no effect, but doing it brings a fleeting peace of mind.

This kind of effect is just right.

Adding more would make them war criminals; reducing any would lose its appeal to the Demon Race.

"In any case, testing the drug’s efficacy on Myriad Beasts University’s Demon Race still needs to be done. I’ll personally escort the Demon Dream Grass there."

Su Yuan said as he gathered the scattered Demon Dream Grass.

He looked at Zhu Tianqing, who was covered in leaves and had dried juice still on her cheeks, and cleared his throat:

"But before that, you’d better take a bath first."

Zhu Tianqing glanced at her clothes, which had become disheveled from rolling on the ground. Her face reddened slightly, and she nodded silently before going to bathe in Su Yuan’s estate.

Half an hour later, Zhu Tianqing, having changed into new clothes and recovered her sanctity, left together with Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi, heading to Myriad Beasts University.

In a small world within Myriad Beasts University, dedicated to breeding Spirit Beasts.

Demon Refining True Monarch was somewhat surprised to see his daughter bringing Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi along.

What’s Su Yuan doing here?

Immediately, he realized something wasn’t quite right.

Wasn’t his daughter wearing a different outfit when she went to Su Yuan’s house? And she was also much later than expected in coming back?

This...

As an old father, Demon Refining True Monarch suddenly became vigilant! His gaze towards Su Yuan turned a bit hostile!

However, on second thought, Demon Refining True Monarch realized it seemed unlikely.

Chen Nuoyi was present, so how could Su Yuan have time to do anything to his daughter? Maybe he misremembered the color of her clothing.

Comforting himself with this thought, the old father was about to deactivate his alert radar when he noticed his daughter’s expression seemed strange.

At this moment, Zhu Tianqing’s pretty face was slightly red, and she occasionally stole a glance at Su Yuan.

She seemed to want to be close to Su Yuan, but due to some concerns, she forcibly restrained her emotions.

His daughter was never like this before!

Demon Refining True Monarch realized he couldn’t keep lying to himself.

"Senior Zhu, let Nuoyi help you suppress those disobedient Demon Beasts first; after we’re done, I have something to discuss with you."

Su Yuan, not aware of Demon Refining True Monarch’s intricate thoughts, spoke more politely than usual.

After all, regarding the testing of the Demon Dream Grass’s efficacy, he had a request of the other party and naturally wouldn’t put on airs.

"Something to discuss with me?"

Demon Refining True Monarch’s heart rang with alarm.

What could possibly have to be discussed face to face and with such a polite attitude?

Could it be...

A terrible image suddenly appeared in the old father’s mind.

Huang Mao, with a hospital report in one hand and an arm around his daughter, loftily declared to him.

"Deng, I’m taking Tianqing away. After taking your daughter, she’ll never enjoy a day’s blessing; she’ll be exhausted by me, working overtime day and night, without rest."

"During holidays, I won’t bring her back to see you either. You’ll just die alone! Keh keh keh!"

Thinking about such a scene, the Demon Refining True Monarch felt his anger flare up.

He gritted his teeth and stared intently at Su Yuan:

"What you want to tell me, does it have something to do with Tianqing?"

Su Yuan was slightly startled and thought for a moment: "Uh, sort of related, I guess."

Demon Refining True Monarch: "When Tianqing went to your house, did you do something to her? Did you drug her with some kind of potion?"

Su Yuan was greatly surprised: "Senior Zhu, how did you know? I should have never told anyone about this, but you misunderstand, this really wasn’t intentional on my part, your daughter was quite proactive."

How could he guess so accurately, could it be that during the journey, Zhu Tianqing already used her phone to tell the Demon Refining True Monarch about the demon dream grass?

This was what Su Yuan was thinking in his heart.

The Demon Refining True Monarch opened his mouth, feeling like he had taken a critical hit worth a hundred million points.

This scoundrel Su Yuan! How dare he boast like that to my face!

Suppressing the suffocating feeling, the Demon Refining True Monarch looked incredulously at Chen Nuoyi.

"You, you were there too, weren’t you? Didn’t you do anything about Su Yuan?"

Chen Nuoyi said embarrassedly:

"Senior Zhu, Tianqing’s actions were really too fast, I couldn’t stop her."

"But I’m willing to admit my fault, I indeed didn’t watch Su Yuan properly, which led to Tianqing taking the concoction he made."

"Fortunately, I went to help immediately and, together with Su Yuan, we managed to neutralize the effects on Tianqing, so it’s not a big problem."

What the hell, there’s drugging involved too?!

You call this not a big problem?

After hearing these words, the Demon Refining True Monarch almost couldn’t catch his breath!

This is beyond excessive! Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi, these young people are simply defying the heavens!

I originally thought only Su Yuan was a demon, but I didn’t expect you, Chen Nuoyi, who seemed decent, to also be a female demon defying social norms!

It must be Su Yuan who corrupted her!

"Su Yuan! You beast, I’ll kill you!"

The Demon Refining True Monarch roared furiously, suddenly drawing a treasure sword from his waist and slashing it towards Su Yuan.

Judging from the force of this strike, the Demon Refining True Monarch didn’t hold back at all, seemingly really intending to cut Su Yuan in half with one blow.

Luckily, Su Yuan was not who he used to be, even an angry strike from an experienced Nascent Soul Cultivator was something he could withstand.

Su Yuan raised a sword point, the Blood Corruption Sword Qi, condensed to the extreme, struck first, cleaving the Demon Refining True Monarch’s treasure sword in two.

As a Beast Tamer, the Demon Refining True Monarch’s Sword Dao skills were average at best, his sword was more of a decoration, and its grade wasn’t high.

After the treasure sword broke, the broken blade naturally couldn’t hit Su Yuan.

Looking at the broken sword and feeling the strong backlash from the sword, the Demon Refining True Monarch was also surprised.

True Monarch Primordial, no wonder he is recognized as the most talented new Nascent Soul Cultivator.

But this is no excuse for you to corrupt my daughter!

The Demon Refining True Monarch’s anger erupted like a volcano, just as he was about to display his trump card, he heard Su Yuan exclaim.

"Senior Zhu, are you really so against demon dream grass?"

"I only wanted to use it against the Demon Race of the Mystic World, I have no ill intentions, I think there must be some misunderstanding between us, please allow me to explain the effects of demon dream grass in detail."

Demon Refining True Monarch: "???

"Demon dream grass? What the hell is that?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan, Chen Nuoyi, and even Zhu Tianqing were all stunned.

"Dad, I thought Su Yuan had already told you about the demon dream grass, but it turns out you didn’t know, then why were you so angry just now?"

Zhu Tianqing asked in confusion.

The Demon Refining True Monarch was a bit dazed.

"Wasn’t what Su Yuan wanted to talk to me about related to you?"

Demon Refining True Monarch asked.

Zhu Tianqing: "It is related, I accidentally fell for the demon dream grass, it was like being drugged with a spell, but it’s okay now, is there a problem?"

Demon Refining True Monarch: "... No."

The old father finally realized he might have misunderstood something.

A moment later, after testing the effects of the demon dream grass, the Demon Refining True Monarch broke into an excited smile:

"Su Yuan, you’ve got some skills, with this celestial herb, how can we not dominate all the demons under heaven?"

Seeing the other party’s wicked smile akin to a mad scientist, Su Yuan scratched his head and said:

"Senior Zhu, don’t you think the demon dream grass is quite evil? Nuoyi said using it would make me a war criminal."

The Demon Refining True Monarch sneered disdainfully:

"That girl Nuoyi has the typical saintly mindset, the Demon Race needs to be controlled harshly! Not using mind-breaking control drugs is already the greatest mercy one can show them."

After silently listening, Su Yuan couldn’t help but feel a strange sensation in his heart.

In the Taixu World, he felt that Demon Refining’s oppression of the Demon Race was a bit harsh, but that was after all an illusion realm, understandable.

But in reality, the Demon Refining True Monarch’s attitude towards the Demon Race is also terrifying!

He not only doesn’t advocate for equality like Zhu Tianqing but even severely discriminates against the Demon Race.

No wonder he is named after demon refining.

So here’s the question, where does the half-demon bloodline on Zhu Tianqing come from? Clearly, the Demon Refining True Monarch is pure human race.

It seems Old Deng also has his backstory.
