From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 366 Yao Girl Breaks the Impasse and Welcomes the Dawn; Cooperation Reveals Hope

"Okay, I promise you." I took a deep breath, met the Wind Demon King's probing gaze, and spoke with an unwavering tone.

A warm feeling welled up in my heart, but it was quickly cooled by an inexplicable unease.

The Demon King's trust is certainly a good thing, but is there also some kind of test hidden behind this trust?

I glanced at the livid-faced demon beside me. His clenched fists and cracking knuckles were a clear indication of his dissatisfaction.

This guy is definitely up to no good.

Sure enough, the next few days were not peaceful.

An undercurrent was surging where I couldn't see it.

I always feel like there's a pair of eyes watching me from behind, as cold and sinister as a viper's hiss.

This feeling made me feel uneasy, yet I couldn't grasp any substantial evidence.

I privately inquired with several demon members who were on good terms with me, and their evasive and hesitant expressions made me even more certain that something was brewing.

"Xiao Yao, the plan you proposed is utterly a pipe dream!" Demon Shadow's voice was sharp as a knife, piercing straight into my eardrums.

The campfire in the center of the cooperative camp crackled, and the firelight reflected on his distorted face, making him look particularly ferocious.

I looked around and saw that the demons who had been friendly to me were now all bowing their heads and remaining silent.

On the other side of the celestial realm, Envoy Li frowned, while Fairy Zhao wore a mocking expression.

My heart sank to the bottom.

"Shadow Demon, you can voice your opinions, but please watch your words." I tried to remain calm and speak as gently as possible, but my clenched fist betrayed my nervousness.

My fingertips dug deep into my palm, causing a sharp pain, but it also made me more alert.

"Opinions? Hmph! Your plan is full of loopholes and cannot be implemented at all! You are toying with our demon race!" The demonic figure pressed closer, his words like knives, each one piercing to the heart.

He fired off a series of sharp questions, each one hitting the core of my proposal, like sharp daggers trying to tear my efforts to shreds.

I felt like I was having trouble breathing; the air around me seemed to have solidified, making it hard for me to breathe.

I tried to organize my thoughts and refute the Shadow's questions, but his attack was too fierce, and I was momentarily overwhelmed.

I felt my cheeks getting hot, and fine beads of sweat appeared on my forehead.

The gazes around me were like searchlights, leaving me nowhere to hide.

Doubt, mockery, schadenfreude... all sorts of emotions intertwined, forming a huge net that trapped me firmly.

The Wind Demon King sat on the high platform, silent. His deep eyes were like an ancient well, making it impossible to see through his thoughts.

I know he's observing, he's waiting.

If I cannot convince the Shadow Demon, and cannot make the demons believe in my plan, then this cooperation will be a complete failure.

I feel like I'm walking on the edge of a cliff, with a bottomless abyss beneath my feet. One wrong step and I'll be smashed to pieces.

"Xiao Yao, what else do you have to say?" The demonic figure pressed forward, his tone full of provocation.

A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips, as if he could already see me defeated.

My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of my chest.

I took a deep breath and tried to keep myself calm.

“Shadow Demon, I know you have a problem with me…” I paused, looking directly at him, “but cooperation is the best option for both the immortal and demon realms right now. What are your true intentions in obstructing this?!”

"I..." The Shadow Demon was about to speak when he was interrupted by a voice.

“Yao’er,” Wen Chen’s voice was deep and powerful, like a reassuring pill that instantly soothed the anxiety in my heart, “I’ll help you.”

Wen Chen's voice was like a warm current, but it couldn't truly warm my cold heart.

He stood there, his handsome face filled with worry, yet he hesitated to make a further move.

I understood his concerns; he worried that getting involved would complicate things further. But his hesitant gaze was like a needle pricking my pride.

I need him not just to stand there anxiously, but to stand by my side and fight alongside me.

A strange sense of grievance welled up in my heart, and a sour taste lingered in my throat.

I took a deep breath and suppressed my emotions.

Now is not the time for sentimentality; I must rely on myself.

I straightened my back, my gaze sweeping over everyone present, my tone firm and powerful: "Shadow Demon, I will answer all your questions. I know you have doubts about my plan, but please believe me, I want the immortal and demon realms to coexist peacefully more than anyone else."

I began to answer the Shadow's questions one by one, each word carefully considered, each argument logically clear and well-founded.

I not only answered his questions, but also added some more comprehensive measures to address his concerns, ensuring the plan was foolproof.

I spoke eloquently, as if a powerful force within me was supporting me, allowing me to calmly deal with the demonic shadow's challenges.

The shadow demon's expression grew increasingly grim, and his initially aggressive demeanor gradually weakened.

He opened his mouth to retort, but found himself speechless.

My proposed solution, after careful consideration, is almost flawless.

His clenched fist slowly loosened.

The Wind Demon King remained silent, his sharp gaze lingering on me for a long time, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

He spoke slowly, "Xiao Yao, your plan is indeed very good, well-considered, and convincing." His voice was deep and powerful, carrying an unquestionable authority.

Special Envoy Li and Elder Sun nodded in agreement, their faces showing relieved smiles.

The people in the immortal realm, who were initially skeptical of me, are now beginning to look at me with new respect.

I felt that the gazes around me were no longer filled with doubt and ridicule, but with respect and admiration.

This feeling filled me with a sense of accomplishment.

After a heated discussion, the immortals and demons finally reached a preliminary consensus on cooperation.

Both sides decided to cooperate according to my plan to jointly address the crisis between immortals and demons.

I stood in the center of the cooperative camp, watching the interaction between the immortals and demons begin to cooperate, and my heart was filled with satisfaction.

I know this is just the beginning of the cooperation, and there are still many issues to be resolved.

As night fell, a roaring campfire was lit in the camp, its light illuminating everyone's faces.

I stood alone at the edge of the camp, looking at the rolling mountains in the distance, my mind filled with countless thoughts.

Wen Chen walked to my side and gently took my hand.

"Yao'er, you did very well." His voice was gentle and deep, but it couldn't dispel the gloom in my heart.

I withdrew my hand and said calmly, "Wen Chen, we need to talk."
