Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

He paid fifty mid-grade spirit stones to the proprietress.

Su Li then realized that during the time he was unconscious, He Miaomiao had been paying for her food and lodging at the inn on credit...

Su Li walked on the streets of Beast Blood City.

Having regained his freedom, Su Li wasn't in a hurry to return to the World of Laws at this moment.

Perhaps that's just how people are; the more readily available something is, the less they know how to cherish it.

When Su Li felt that she could go back at any time, everything seemed less urgent.

However, it wasn't that Su Li didn't want to go back; rather, before leaving, Su Li felt that she might leave something behind.

Moreover, as he walked down the street, for no apparent reason, Su Li began to ponder the relationship between humans and demons.

So many years have passed, how has the hatred between humans and demons been perpetuated so well?

Could it be that they all harbor direct hatred?

As Su Li walked, she saw several demon children playing football on the street.

A human child stood nearby, biting his finger and watching with envy.

Su Li didn't know what she was thinking at the time.

Su Li stepped forward, gently patted the human child on the back, and then they walked together towards the beastmen children:

"Hey guys, could we join you for the game?"

Su Li smiled at the group of demon children.

"do not want!"

A demon child picked up the ball.

"We don't want to play with humans!"

"why?"

“Because humans are our enemies! We hate humans!” Another demon child stepped forward.

"A grudge? Did any of your family members get hurt by humans?" Su Li asked cautiously.

The orc children thought for a moment, then shook their heads: "No, but we just don't want to play with humans!"

Su Li smiled and said, "If you can let us join in and play together, I'll give you candy."

Su Li took out a lollipop and waved it in front of them.

Looking at the colorful candy, which was bigger than their own faces, the children swallowed hard, but still shook their heads firmly.

"Fine, then we don't want it! There's not a single good human! We won't associate with humans!"

A beastman child left with the ball, and the others followed.

"I...I don't want to play with the demon race either!"

The little boy next to Su Li ran away with red eyes.

Watching the human and demon boys run further and further away, Su Li casually plopped down on the steps, looking at the once lively open space, lost in thought.

After a long while, Su Li got up.

Holding the immortal sword Qingcang, Su Li cleaved through the void with a single strike.

Traveling through the void is a unique technique of cultivators in the Immortal Realm, which can shorten a distance considerably.

Su Li did not go directly to Longyuan Continent, which borders this city, but instead went to Crocodile City.

From Crocodile City, head north to reach Hundred Herbs Island.

If you walk north from Baicaozhou, you can return to Qianlingzhou.

Traveling like this will likely take an extra half month.

But it doesn't matter.

It's only half a month; it won't delay anything.

Su Li wanted to go somewhere.

Taking advantage of the fact that he is still protected by the fortune of the Demon Kingdom and the fact that the Celestial Surveillance Bureau cannot locate him, Su Li wants to go to that place to take a look and see his "old friends".

Otherwise, there might not be another chance in the future.

Four days later, Su Li broke through the void and arrived in Crocodile City.

Three years later, returning to this place, I surprisingly felt a sense of familiarity.

Walking in Crocodile City.

Crocodile City was no different from three years ago, but it was much more prosperous than it had been three years ago.

All of this is thanks to Shiraba Ye.

Of course, the chieftain of the Canglang clan did not disappoint Bai Yeye's expectations and made a great contribution by managing the city well.

The chieftain of the Canglang clan knew that one day he would be summoned by the Fifth Princess and given an important position.

The clan chief was right; Shiraba Ye did indeed have such an idea.

One day, Bai Yeye will take her away and make her one of his most capable assistants in his conquest of the world.

"Pass the ball! Pass it to me!"

"Come here! Tell me!"

"No, pass it on here!"

Before even reaching the entrance of the city lord's mansion, Su Li heard various shouts.

Turning the corner, Su Li saw six or seven children playing football in front of the city lord's mansion.

The area in front of the Crocodile City Lord's Mansion is indeed a good place. There are no other residential buildings, and it's a small open space, perfect for kids to play.

These children kicking a ball are the same children who delivered the letter to Su Li back then.

Three years have passed, and they have grown taller than before, but they still look so young.

Unlike three years ago, there are now two more human children among them.

The two human children played football with them and had a lot of fun.

Su Li didn't disturb them; she just leaned against the corner of the wall and continued watching them play football.

Half an hour later, the sun gradually set, and the evening glow filled the sky.

This is usually when it's time to go home for dinner.

"Alright, alright, let's stop here for today."

The boy with leopard ears, who was in the lead, put the ball away, giving off a boss-like vibe.

"We'll continue playing tomorrow, remember, don't let it slip again! Especially you, Little Tiger! You let it slip yesterday, and all your parents came to find me. My dad found out I was playing with humans, and I got a beating!"

In the end, I bore it all alone.

"No, I won't let it slip this time." The tiger-eared boy nodded.

"Alright, let's go back. Dismissed. See you tomorrow."

The boy with leopard ears was about to go home with the ball, and this little group of children was about to disband.

However, Su Li had already arrived beside them at this moment.

Who are you?!

The leopard-eared boy was startled by the man who suddenly appeared in front of him and quickly stepped back.

His companions also quickly stepped forward, gathered together, and faced Su Li as if facing a formidable enemy!

"Could they be human traffickers who abduct children?" the cat-eared girl named Xiaowan asked nervously.

"I don't think so," the tiger-eared boy blinked.

"Waaaaah, I don't want to be sold!" The bunny-eared girl's eyes were red.

“No, don’t be afraid, there are many of us,” a human boy said.

Faced with the children's chatter, Su Li simply smiled and took out a lollipop: "I also want to play soccer with you guys, can I join you?"

"You...you want to join us too?"

The leopard-eared boy looked at Su Li, his wariness having largely disappeared.

As a demon youth, the demon race's innate intuition and keenness far surpass those of humans.

“That’s right, I want to try it too.” Su Li took out some roast chicken, roast duck, candied fruit and pastries that she had just bought.

Upon seeing so much delicious food, the eyes of all the young men and women lit up.

"Okay, then."

The leopard-eared boy in the lead wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth.

"Come here tomorrow, and we'll play together! But remember, I'm the boss!"

"Okay, boss." Su Li smiled.

The leopard-eared boy's ears immediately perked up when an adult called him "boss."

A sense of pride and triumph filled the heart of the leopard-eared boy.

This is the first time someone has ever called me boss...

It's still an adult calling himself "boss".

Kids like Xiao Hu and Xiao Wan always called me by my name, and they wouldn't even call me "boss"...

"Xiao Bao, are you really okay?" Xiao Wan tugged at Xiao Bao's sleeve.

“Yes, yes, he’s an adult,” Xiao Hu said nervously.

"It's alright! If it were anything, we would have been kidnapped long ago."

Despite opposition, the leopard-eared boy nicknamed "Little Explosion" accepted Su Li.

Watching them greet each other and go home, Su Li went to the city lord's mansion and took a nap.

The city lord's mansion is currently empty.

Although Cang Kong was the acting city lord, he did not move into the city lord's mansion.

The next afternoon, Su Li met up with the children and played football with them.

Every day, Su Li would bring them delicious food and play with them.

Children's friendships are the easiest to obtain, and also the most precious and pure.

In just three days, Su Li had won the friendship of all of them.

And they gradually changed their way of calling Su Li from "that adult" to "big brother".

Su Li asked them why they were willing to bring human children along to play.

They, on the other hand, acted as if it were perfectly natural: "Why not? The adults hate humans, but we don't."

"Yes, yes, and the city lord also said that he wants to raise the status of the human race."

"Actually, we didn't dare to play with humans before, but three years ago, we delivered a letter to a human child and we received some delicious candied fruit and pastries. That's when we realized that humans aren't all bad."

"On the contrary, I don't understand why the demon race and the human race are fighting to the death?"

Listening to the children's words, Su Li stood there stunned.

"Big brother, what about you?" The cat-eared girl sat down next to Su Li, raising her beautiful big eyes and blinking at him. "Big brother, do you hate demons?"

"Me...?"

Su Li smiled and ruffled the cat-eared girl's hair.

The cat-eared girl shrank her neck, closed her eyes, and let the older brother stroke her head.

The cat-eared girl felt very comfortable when the older brother's hands rubbed her head.

Su Li raised her head, looked at the setting sun, and gave her answer. "The demon race and the human race are actually the same."

"right."
