In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 488 Demon Refining True Monarch: You beast! I'll kill you! (3K views, please subscribe!)

“Noye, for the future of our Blue League, I believe I should shoulder this heavy responsibility.”

Su Yuan replied in a similarly earnest tone.

"Besides... only those who fail are war criminals, while those who win are heroes!"

Chen Nuoyi shook her head.

Having said all that, she couldn't persuade him any further. See you on the execution platform in the future.

Su Yuan approached Zhu Tianqing, snatched the Dream Grass from her hand, and wiped the sticky juice off her face with a tissue.

Having lost the stimulation of the Demon Dream Grass's scent, the holy and intelligent Heavenly Hunting Saintess gradually regained her senses.

She scrambled to her feet from the grass, her eyes still unfocused, and looked around with some confusion.

"Where am I?"

"You're high on drugs. It's my fault. I shouldn't have handed over such dangerous strategic materials to you."

Su Yuan waved the herbs in his hand and said apologetically.

The moment Zhu Tianqing saw the Demon Dream Grass, her eyes sharpened instantly, like a cat fixated on a cat toy, unable to look away.

Upon seeing this, Su Yuan's heart began to pound.

Wasn't it said that the Youmu Grass wasn't addictive? Could it have evolved?
Wouldn't he be killed by Zhu Tianqing's parents?!
Fortunately, Su Yuan's worst fears did not come true. After staring at the Dreamweaver for a while, Zhu Tianqing used her strong willpower to look away.

"This thing is too dangerous."

She seemed to recall the fear she had felt earlier, when she was dominated by her demonic instincts, and said with lingering fear:

"Although it is not addictive, I think most demons, after experiencing the feeling of the Dream Grass, will become addicted to it in order to experience it again."

"And it is clear that the demon race has never been able to control its nature."

Su Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that it's not addictive.

With Zhu Tianqing's example, he gained a precise understanding of the Demon Dream Grass.

The evolved Demon Dream Grass is still like catnip; it does not harm the demon race's body when eaten, and there is no withdrawal reaction if they do not touch it again after eating it.

However, if the demons see the Demon Dream Grass again, they will most likely take it on their own.

Just like the needlework that boys secretly do at night, not doing it won't have any impact, but doing it can bring a moment of peace of mind.

The effect of this medicine can be said to be just right.

A little more and they'd be war criminals; a little less and they'd have no appeal to the demon race.

"In any case, we still need to test the efficacy of the medicine with the demons from the University of Ten Thousand Beasts. I will personally escort the Demon Dream Grass there."

Su Yuan gathered the scattered Dream Grass and said.

He glanced at Zhu Tianqing, whose clothes were covered in grass and whose cheeks were still damp with dried juice, and coughed lightly, saying:

"But before that, you should take a shower first."

Zhu Tianqing glanced at her clothes, now disheveled from rolling around, and blushed slightly. She nodded silently and went to take a bath in the bathhouse at Su Yuan Manor.

Half an hour later, Zhu Tianqing, Su Yuan, and Chen Nuoyi, having changed into new clothes and regained their sanctity, set off together and arrived at the University of Ten Thousand Beasts.

The University of Ten Thousand Beasts is a small world dedicated to raising spirit beasts.

The Demon Refining True Lord was slightly surprised to see his daughter leading Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi over together.

What is Su Yuan doing here?
Then, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

When my daughter went to Su Yuan's house, she didn't seem to be wearing this outfit, and she also came back much later than expected.

This……

As a father, the Demon Refining True Monarch immediately became alert! His gaze toward Su Yuan turned somewhat hostile!
However, upon further reflection, the Demon Refining True Monarch felt that this was unlikely.

Chen Nuoyi is still here, how could Su Yuan possibly find the time to do anything for his daughter? Perhaps he was just overthinking it and remembered the color of his daughter's clothes wrong.

As he comforted himself with this thought, the old father was about to turn off the warning radar when he noticed that his daughter's expression was a little strange.

At this moment, Zhu Tianqing's pretty face flushed slightly, and she would occasionally steal a glance in Su Yuan's direction.

She seemed to want to get closer to Su Yuan, but forcibly suppressed her own feelings due to some kind of concern.

My daughter wasn't like this before!
The Demon Refining True Monarch realized that he could no longer deceive himself.

"Senior Zhu, let Nuoyi help you suppress those unruly monsters first. I have something to tell you after I'm done."

Su Yuan did not notice the fascinating inner journey of the Demon Refining True Monarch, and his tone was more polite than usual.

After all, he needed someone's help to test the efficacy of the herbal medicine, so he naturally wouldn't put on airs.

"You need to tell me something?"

Alarm bells rang in the mind of the Demon Refining True Monarch.

Why do you have to tell me this in person, and why are you being so polite?

Is it...

A terrifying image suddenly flashed through the old father's mind.

Su Huangmao threw a hospital lab report at him, put his other arm around his daughter, and said to him arrogantly.

"Deng, I've taken Tianqing away. After I take your daughter away, she won't be able to enjoy a single day of happiness. She'll be exploited by me every day, working overtime without sleep."

"I won't bring her back to see you during holidays. You'll just have to grow old alone! Hehehe!"

The mere thought of such a scene made the Demon Refining True Monarch's anger flare up. He gritted his teeth, staring intently at Su Yuan:

"Is what you want to tell me related to Tian Qing?"

Su Yuan paused slightly, then thought for a moment and said, "Uh, I guess it's related."

Demon Refining True Lord: "When Tian Qing went to your house, did you do something to her? Did you bewitch her?"

Su Yuan was greatly surprised: "Senior Zhu, how did you know? I don't think I've ever told anyone about this. But you've misunderstood. It really wasn't intentional on my part. Your daughter was quite proactive."

If she guessed so accurately, could it be that Zhu Tianqing had already informed the Demon Refining True Lord about the Demon Dream Grass via her mobile phone while on her journey?
Su Yuan thought to himself.

The Demon Refining True Monarch opened his mouth, only to feel as if he had been hit with a critical strike.

That bastard Su Yuan! How dare he use his ultimate skill right up to his face!
Suppressing the suffocating feeling of not being able to breathe, the Demon Refining True Monarch looked at Chen Nuoyi in disbelief.

"You, you should have been there too, right? Didn't you do anything about Su Yuan?"

Chen Nuoyi said shyly:

"Senior Zhu, Tian Qing's movements were too fast, I couldn't stop her."

"However, I am willing to admit my mistake. I did not keep a close eye on Su Yuan, which led to Tian Qing taking the medicine he prepared."

"Fortunately, I went to help immediately and together with Su Yuan, we expelled the effects of the medicine from Tian Qing's body. It's not a big problem."

Damn it, they even drugged them?!
You call this a minor problem?

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

This is more than just excessive! Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi are simply defying the heavens!

I originally thought that Su Yuan was the only demon, but I never expected that you, Chen Nuoyi, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also be a female demon who violates public order and good morals!
They must have been poisoned by Su Yuan!

"Su Yuan! You beast, I'll kill you!"

The Demon Refining True Monarch roared and suddenly drew a sword from his waist, slashing down at Su Yuan.

Judging from the power of this sword strike, the Demon Refining True Monarch showed no mercy and seemed to be truly prepared to cut Su Yuan in two with a single blow.

Fortunately, Su Yuan is no longer the same as before. He can even block a sword strike from a veteran Nascent Soul cultivator in a fit of rage.

Su Yuan raised his sword finger, and the extremely concentrated blood-corrupting sword energy struck first, instantly cleaving the Demon Refining True Monarch's sword in two.

As a beast tamer, the Demon Refining True Monarch's swordsmanship was only average; his swords were more for decoration and were not of high quality.

After the sword broke, the broken blade naturally failed to strike Su Yuan.

Looking at the broken sword and feeling the strong recoil from its blade, the Demon Refining True Monarch was also startled.

True Lord Shiyuan truly deserves to be recognized as the most talented among the newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivators.

But that's no excuse for you to poison my daughter!

The Demon Refining True Monarch's anger erupted like a volcano. Just as he was about to use his best skills, he heard Su Yuan say with a surprised expression.

"Senior Zhu, do you really dislike the Demon Dream Grass that much?"

"I only wanted to use it to deal with the demons in the Yuxuan World. I had no ill intentions. I think there must be some misunderstanding between us. Please let me explain the effects of the Demon Dream Grass in detail."

Demon Refining True Monarch: "???"

"Dream Grass? What is Dream Grass?"

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

"Dad, I thought Su Yuan had already told you about the Dream Grass beforehand, but you didn't know? Then why were you so angry just now?"

Zhu Tianqing asked in confusion.

The Demon Refining True Monarch was somewhat bewildered.

"Isn't what Su Yuan wanted to tell me related to you?"

"The Demon Refining True Lord asked."

Zhu Tianqing: "Yes, it's related. I accidentally fell for the Demon Dream Grass's trick, it was like I was given a bewitching potion, but I'm fine now. Is there a problem?"

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

The elderly father finally realized that he might have misunderstood something.

A moment later, after testing the effects of the Demon Dream Grass, the Demon Refining True Monarch revealed an excited smile:
"Su Yuan, you've got some skills! With this immortal herb, how could you not control all the demons in the world?"

Seeing the other person's wicked, mad scientist-like smile, Su Yuan scratched his head and said:

"Senior Zhu, don't you think the Demon Dream Grass is evil? Noi said that if I use it, I will become a war criminal."

The Demon Refining True Monarch sneered:
"Noyi has a typical saintly mindset. Demons are the kind of creatures that need to be strictly controlled! Not using mind-destroying control drugs is already the greatest mercy we can show them."

Su Yuan listened silently, a strange feeling rising in his heart.

Back in the Void World, he felt that the Demon Refining technique was a bit too harsh on the demon race, but that was an illusion after all, so he could understand it.

But in reality, the Demon Refining True Lord's attitude towards the demon race is also terrifying!

He not only doesn't advocate equality between humans and demons like Zhu Tianqing, but he also severely discriminates against the demon race.

It truly lives up to its name as a demon-refining plant.

So here's the question: where did Zhu Tianqing get her half-demon bloodline? The Demon Refining True Monarch is clearly a pure-blooded human.

It seems this old man has quite a story to tell.
