Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 191 Don't you want my cassock?

The evil wind gradually subsided.

Liu Sheng stopped at the top of the sword grass, with the four demons below him, including the Black Wind King, in a subtle position.

No one spoke.

The air gradually solidified.

The three demons, including the Frost Wolf Demon, were no longer as arrogant as before. They dared not meet the Bear Demon's gaze and looked up at Liu Sheng with pleading eyes.

They were afraid that Liu Sheng would reveal their secret plot to deal with the bear demon.

This is a powerful demon!
Under normal circumstances, you can crush them with just your little finger.

"Even these three idiots have their moments of fear... Where did their previous arrogance go?"

Liu Sheng chuckled to himself, but did not intend to expose him now.

After all, revealing this now wouldn't maximize his interests.

The goal is to make the Black Wind King fight the demons to a standstill, even dragging in their respective allies, the Prince of Jin's Mansion, and the imperial court, creating a massive melee...

He can then take advantage of the chaos and profit from it.

"Humph……"

At this moment, Abbess Jingyue, who was under Liu Sheng's claws, woke up. She spat out a mouthful of blood, her gaze sharpened, and she was about to speak—

"Snapped!"

A huge eagle's beak fell from the sky and pecked at her forehead, making her fall asleep again.

It didn't kill him; the force was controlled perfectly.

Hehe, serves you right for nagging me back then, ruining my plans, and even chasing me with a sword all night!
This time, you'll have to pay it back, principal and interest!

With Abbess Jingyue's interruption, the atmosphere eased slightly, becoming less tense than before.

Liu Sheng didn't intend to overturn the table on the spot, but he wouldn't miss this opportunity to make things difficult for Liu Sheng.

So, after glancing at the three demons, he spoke:

"It's not going to be a fight, but... those three will be dividing my spoils."

As he spoke, he shook the nun Jingyue beneath his claws:
"I wanted to keep a pet to study and experiment with some ideas, but they wanted to devour it as food..."

As he spoke, he gave a brief account of the previous dispute.

The story particularly emphasizes that when the three demons were in danger, it was he who intervened at the last moment, making the final decision and saving them.

After being rescued, the three demons not only showed no gratitude, but also demanded blood food from him. When he refused, they even prepared to forcibly take it from him.

In short, when the same thing is told by people with different perspectives, it becomes two completely different stories.

Liu Sheng made full use of this point; in his words, the three demons became ungrateful villains.

Ironically, the Frostwolf demons had nothing to say, because it seemed that this was indeed the case.

These three foolish demons are used to brute force, deciding victories and defeats based on their claws and teeth. They never knew that in the human world, words and arguments can also lead to death.

Today, we're just letting them see what it means to distort the truth and present a narrative based on biased perspectives.

"This is outrageous! How could you do this? Brother Bai kindly saved you, and you're ungrateful and want a share of the spoils? You're a disgrace to our demon race!"

The Black Wind King unleashed a torrent of abuse on the three demons, slapping the Frost Wolf Demon's face twice, leaving it swollen.

"Get out of here! If you ever do such disgusting things again, I'll slap you into mincemeat."

Even if these monsters harbor ulterior motives, they are nominally its subordinates.

Daring to bear the name "Black Wind," it firmly holds the top position among the demons of Black Wind Mountain.

Beating and scolding are the most common things.

As for the rabbit demon and the snake demon, they were swept away by a gust of black wind he blew, and no one knows where they fell.

After the Frost Wolf Demon retreated in a disheveled state, the Black Wind King turned his head and looked at Liu Sheng:

"Is Brother Bai trying to figure out a way for abnormal beings to become adults?"

It had been searching for answers on this path, and upon hearing Liu Sheng's previous words, it immediately understood his purpose and naturally sided with Liu Sheng.

After all, they are on the same path! And if Liu Sheng gains anything, it can provide it with reference and help.

Therefore, it didn't give the three demons any chance to argue.

In this world, we've only ever heard the slogan "treat everyone equally," but there's never a fool who actually does it.

If such a person existed, they would have died a mysterious death long ago.

"Yes, I have some ideas recently that need to be tested by Qi cultivators. I've been struggling to find a suitable one, but this time I've finally succeeded."

Liu Sheng landed on the sword grass, transformed back into human form, and, supporting Abbess Jingyue, explained to King Black Wind.

“This nun… is an elder of Shuiyue Nunnery, and she is quite powerful. After you’re done using her, you can give her to the Prince of Jin’s heir and exchange her for more benefits.”

Black Wind King glanced at Abbess Jingyue and nodded.

Even the dignified elder of Shuiyue Temple, who had achieved great enlightenment, was only described as "not weak" in its own words.

It's somewhat absurd, but also perfectly logical.

"By the way, how come you and the three Frostwolf came out hunting together?"

At this moment, the Black Wind King rolled his small eyes and seemingly casually mentioned:
"I remember you and those three didn't seem to get along?"

Hmm, there are a few pitfalls in this question!

That was a very skillful question. No wonder you're on the path of an unorthodox adult; you're much smarter than the Frostwolf brothers.

Liu Sheng felt a sense of unease, and a perfectly timed expression of annoyance appeared on his face.

"The three of them said that an injured Qi Refiner was on the run, and I wanted some material, so I followed them out..."

Liu Sheng glanced at Abbess Jingyue and added:
"The food in the cave is too meaty; I don't like it."

"Hey……"

The bear demon nodded in agreement and sighed.

It was also extremely troubled by this situation, but unfortunately, even as the king of the mountain, it was powerless to solve it.

Eating raw meat and drinking blood is the nature of the demon race.

For most demons who follow the path of the Mountain and Sea Demon, it is a matter of course.

Only by embarking on the path of becoming an alien adult, influenced by the human race, will they become weary and unable to accept it.

"You need to be careful of those few..."

At this moment, the Black Wind King suddenly spoke, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, like two searchlights, staring directly at Liu Sheng, blinding him:

"They're colluding with the Great Yu court and want to join forces against me. I bet they'll try to get you on their side, hehe..."

As it spoke, it let out two strange laughs, seemingly without meaning, with a profound undertone.

Gan!
So this bear demon knew everything, but had been pretending to be stupid all along!

I knew it! A mighty demon, walking the path of an unorthodox human, how could he possibly be outmaneuvered by a bunch of demons under his command, even if he's not in the right state?
Frostwolf demons and the like are all idiots with muscles in their heads.

Who knows, while they were secretly colluding, the Black Wind King might have been watching the show while munching on melon seeds.

The key now is how to distance oneself from the situation, or at least make it believable.

We can't fool this bear demon like we did with the previous three demons.

Otherwise, if he fails, a bear's swooping claws could turn him into mincemeat.

So, Liu Sheng sold the Frostwolf Demons without hesitation:
"They did try to recruit me to fight you, and said they would join forces with Xie Bao..."

However, in his account, it became that he used a clever plan to infiltrate the area, gather information, and then inform the bear demon.

Finally, he even mentioned the "Thousand Poisons United Heart Pill".

The Black Wind King nodded, his expression unchanged, though it was unclear how much he believed him.

"Sure enough, they were all influenced by the robe, their greed stirred, their inner demons growing rampant, and they were unable to extricate themselves..."

It reached out and stroked the robe on its body, its eyes flickered a few times, and suddenly spoke:
"But Brother Bai, don't you... want my cassock?"
