Chapter 523 A Life-Saving Grace Can Never Be Repaid Except with My Body
At the entrance to the Phoenix Domain's Demon Clan, there are twice as many soldiers guarding this place as at other race entrances; otherwise, it would be the disciples of the gods who are being checked.
When they saw a group of demons pushing a cart covered in black cloth approaching, the divine descendant in charge of the inspection frowned and raised his hand to make them stop.
The demons stopped.
The divine descendant in charge of the inspection led his soldiers forward and looked at the carriage behind them: "What's on top of that?"
"This..." The demons looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
Seeing that they remained silent, the divine descendant's expression grew even more grim. He gestured for the soldiers to pull down the black cloth, but as the soldiers approached, a demon immediately stepped forward: "No!"
After stopping the soldiers, the demon looked at the divine descendant in charge of the inspection: "This is something we bought from a human family. We want to send it to the Phoenix Domain for auction. This item is extremely valuable, and to maintain its secrecy, it cannot be shown now."
As the gatekeeper of the divine kingdom, the Phoenix Domain has dealings with various races, but it is extremely strict in its inspection of demons. Upon hearing that the items came from the human race, the divine descendants, who were already inspecting them, were even more unwilling to let them go, and said in a deep voice: "Remove the cloth."
Upon hearing this, the escorting demons protested, "No!"
The divine descendant sneered: "This is the Phoenix Domain, not your Demon Clan. You think you can enter the Phoenix Domain if you don't allow us to inspect your cultivation?"
Upon hearing this, the demons looked helpless. After huddling together to discuss, they looked at the divine descendant: "We can inspect, but could we not remove the cloth?"
"Just come closer and take a look, okay?"
The divine offspring completely ignored them, and upon approaching, ripped off the black cloth covering the carriage.
"No!" The demons tried to stop them, but it was too late. They could only watch helplessly as the black cloth was torn off, exposing their goods to the public.
The black cloth covered a cage, inside which was a woman. The woman wore a plain white dress, but her appearance was completely opposite to that of the dress. She was gorgeous and beautiful, like a flower in full bloom, with a strong impact. Once you looked at her, you could not take your eyes off her.
The divine descendant stared blankly at the woman inside the carriage. The woman looked up at him, her clear black and white eyes filled with fear. After just one glance, she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look again.
Seeing the woman avert her gaze like a startled rabbit, the divine descendant finally came to his senses and looked at the demons: "Why are you capturing people?"
The demons retorted, "We didn't capture them. A human team wandered into the demon realm and asked us to rescue them before selling them to us."
"Exactly. It's a transaction between mutual consent, so we can't just make things up. If we're arresting someone, how dare we bring them to Phoenix Domain for auction?"
Upon hearing the word 'auction,' the divine descendant in charge of the inspection looked even more grim: 'You intend to auction her off?'
“That’s right.” The leader of the demons said confidently, “Although she is beautiful, she is a human and is not suitable for living in the Demon Realm, so she was brought to the Phoenix Realm for auction.”
The divine descendant looked at them: "Why not take them to Shanghai for auction?"
"Many of you demons love beautiful women, wouldn't it be better to hold the auction in the Demon Capital?"
“No auction in Shanghai can earn as much as an auction in the Phoenix Domain.” The leader of the demonic path said, “There are often various races in the Phoenix Domain. If someone takes a liking to something, the bid will definitely be higher than in Shanghai. If the auction is held in Shanghai, not to mention the price, you might even be robbed.”
After hearing their words, the divine descendant sneered: "You think you won't be robbed if you come to the Phoenix Domain?"
Upon hearing this, the leader of the demons turned serious and coldly stared at the divine descendant: "What do you mean by this?"
"You want to steal our people?"
"Do you know that if this gets out, it will also damage your Phoenix Domain?"
"Rob?" the divine descendant said. "I'm not robbing, I'm doing this to save people."
The leader of the demons said, "I already said it was a mutually agreeable deal, why would I need you to save me?"
"that is……"
"A transaction that was consensual, do you have any proof?" the divine descendant said coldly. "You arrested no one, and you even tried to deceive me into letting you enter the country to auction them off. It's despicable! Guards, seize them!"
At the divine descendant's command, the soldiers guarding both sides immediately attacked the demons. Other demon caravans that wanted to enter the country quickly avoided them, fearing that they would be caught in the crossfire.
"You're robbing us by force!" the demons roared in fury. "You've gone too far!"
The divine descendant stood with his hands behind his back beside the carriage, coldly watching the demons being attacked by the soldiers, completely ignoring their shouts.
The soldiers guarding the entrance to the demon realm were all elite disciples of the Phoenix Domain. The demons were no match for them, and in order to avoid being captured, they had no choice but to abandon the vehicle and flee.
Seeing them flee, the soldier looked at the divine descendant: "Lord Lianjiang, shall we give chase?"
"That's enough." Lian Jiang waved his hand: "Our goal is to save people. Once we've saved them, we don't need to worry about them anymore."
"You all go back. I'll take this girl into the city to rest for a bit." After Lian Jiang finished speaking, he waved his hand and smashed the cage. Looking at the woman inside, he said, "Girl, the demon that captured you has escaped. You don't need to be afraid. Come down."
The woman glanced around cautiously before getting off the carriage.
"Thank you sir for the rescue."
Usually, after someone is rescued, there is a line that says, "I have no way to repay the kindness of saving my life except to offer myself to you." Lianjiang didn't speak immediately, waiting for the next line.
Instead of the next sentence, all I heard was silence.
Lian Jiang frowned. Why didn't this girl say anything?
Well, if the girl doesn't want to say, we can't force her to. To prevent the silence from continuing, Lian Jiang took the initiative to ask, "What's your name, miss?"
The woman glanced at him and said softly, "Luo Su."
