Humanity is Too Dangerous

The female demon entered the cave and saw that Bai Li Rong had already obediently arranged himself sitting on the stone bed. She was pleased but also somewhat surprised: "How could he move?"

Ye Xilei immediately said, "My mother once told me that during... well, during that time, men can't move, which makes it really boring, so I let him move around. Anyway, he's blind, so he can't escape."

The female demon nodded, thinking Ye Xilei had a valid point: "Then why didn't your mother teach you how to enjoy yourself?"

Ye Xilei's face showed sorrow: "My mother died a long time ago..."

The female demon showed sympathy but quickly said, "Then watch closely."

The female demon twisted her waist and sat beside Bai Li Rong. She hooked his chin with a hand that had sharp, crimson nails. Then, she glanced at Ye Xilei and in a voice as intoxicating as wine said, "Let me teach you how to 'eat' a man~~"

Ye Xilei squinted her eyes and nodded repeatedly, "Sister, please hurry."

The female demon smiled and kissed Bai Li Rong on the lips. At that moment, Ye Xilei kicked Mao Mao, who immediately stood up and shouted: "Meow——"

Suddenly, an orange-yellow beam of light shot out from Mao Mao's mouth, striking the female demon.

"Ah!" The female demon hadn't even kissed Bai Li Rong yet before being hit by the beam of light. Immediately, Ye Xilei appeared in front of her, pointing her sword at the demon's forehead: "Freeze!"

At once, the female demon couldn't move.

Bai Li Rong casually stood up, as if he were merely an observer. He listened carefully, determined the direction Ye Xilei was facing, and then stood facing her, adjusting his clothes as he spoke, "Well done."

"Of course. I am the thirteenth princess of the fox clan." Ye Xilei said proudly. She turned to look at the female demon. The demon glared at her furiously but couldn't speak because of the freezing spell.

Mao Mao jumped to Bai Li Rong's feet, bouncing around: "Meow meow meow meow!" as if protesting that Bai Li Rong had praised the wrong person. Bai Li Rong crouched down, picked up Mao Mao, and gently patted her surprisingly large head, smiling: "You did well."

"Meow~~~" Mao Mao happily rubbed against Bai Li Rong's chest.

Ye Xilei pointed at the female demon's face and loudly scolded: "It's because of demons like you that humans have such deep prejudices against us..." Ye Xilei paused. It seemed like someone had said something similar to her before. Reflecting on it, she could empathize and thought that perhaps the female demon had some untold hardships.

Seeing the female demon's hateful gaze, Ye Xilei lifted the freeze spell. The female demon immediately opened her mouth to curse, "Stinky girl. I was kind enough to share with you. You want to hog it all!"

Ye Xilei crossed her arms and asked in response: "Are you so eager to gain power? If you don't eat humans, you'd still have five hundred years of power."

"Hmph, who doesn't want to become stronger sooner?"

"Then you can't eat people!"

The female demon sneered: "What do you know? You come from the demon world. There, there are no nasty Taoist priests or gods trying to exterminate us. Here, if we don't get stronger, we are in danger of being wiped out. Those humans use us to refine pills and medicines, and the gods aim to destroy us for their achievements. If those cultivators knew about the demon world, they'd definitely find ways to enter and annihilate us, helping them ascend to immortality!"

Ye Xilei was shocked: "Is that true?"

"Hmph! You're so naive. Humanity is very dangerous. You should just return to your demon world and be the thirteenth princess!" The female demon mocked Ye Xilei, calling her naive, or rather, foolish.

The demon's words shocked Ye Xilei. In her vague memories, humanity seemed so peaceful and beautiful. She always asked her mother about it, and her mother would smile mysteriously, saying it was a colorful place.

It seemed that this colorful world also contained the darkness and pain the female demon spoke of.

"Is what she said true?" Ye Xilei asked Bai Li Rong, who had remained silent. Bai Li Rong didn't answer directly. He slightly lowered his head, and the cool breeze from the cave entrance lifted his long hair, which brushed his lips, only to be blown away by the sigh from his mouth.

Ye Xilei, being so clever, immediately understood the truth from Bai Li Rong's expression.

"Demons are considered outcasts in human society..." Bai Li Rong's calm voice echoed in the quiet cave. His expression was indifferent, like that of an observer: "Humans naturally feel fear toward outcasts. They hunt and slaughter us. Demons start to resist, to take revenge. And so, the hatred between humans and demons has continued until today. Night, my advice is to return to your demon world."

Bai Li Rong slightly turned his face to feel Ye Xilei's presence. Yet, after he finished speaking, Ye Xilei's expression became more determined: "I will not return. I won't give up on my dreams just because humanity is scary!"

"Hmph, that's because you don't know how terrifying humanity truly is!" The female demon sneered, glancing at Ye Xilei, "My sister, just like you, was beautiful and innocent. But do you know where she is now?"

Ye Xilei's silver eyes narrowed slightly. She felt that the female demon was about to say something terrifying. She slowly backed up, moving closer to Bai Li Rong. The calm fragrance from him helped her regain her composure.

The female demon's tears rolled down her cheeks: "She's now a pill in a bottle! That's why I need to get stronger! I need to avenge my sister!"

Ye Xilei gasped, her mouth slightly open in shock. A living, breathing kindred spirit had ended up as a pill to be consumed...

"Sister, we are of the same kind. If you take me back to the demon world, without those damned pursuers, I'll be safe, and I won't have to eat people anymore." The female demon stared at Ye Xilei, waiting for her decision.

Ye Xilei extended her hand, but was stopped by Bai Li Rong: "You can't trust her."

"Hmph, because you're human, of course, you don't believe me. Sister, please take me home. Take me back to the demon world." The female demon pleaded, and Ye Xilei looked at Bai Li Rong. Bai Li Rong frowned, but when she looked at Mao Mao, Mao Mao gazed at the female demon with pity.

Ye Xilei lowered her head in thought, then lifted the freeze spell. The female demon immediately stood up, smiling: "You really are a good sister." Suddenly, a murderous glint appeared in her eyes. With a twisted smile, she reached out to grab Ye Xilei by the throat.

Ye Xilei's silver eyes narrowed, and her long eyelashes gently fluttered in the wind.

Bai Li Rong's figure moved slightly, but as he felt Mao Mao's heartbeat was calm in his arms, he turned his attention to the female demon. Mao Mao jumped down from his arms, scratching her ears as if bored.

"Slap." The female demon lightly slapped Ye Xilei's face: "Little beauty, you're so naive. I just made up a story, and you believed it. But, you're truly beautiful. I'll take this body."

"Is that so?" Ye Xilei opened her clear, bright eyes and smiled, "Then come and try."

The female demon immediately raised her left hand, palm hovering above Ye Xilei's head, preparing to possess her soul. Suddenly, as if noticing something, she frowned and looked at the cave entrance, cursing, "That bitch, she actually followed me here!" The female demon's left hand turned into a sword finger, pointing at Ye Xilei's forehead: "Freeze!"

She then tossed Ye Xilei onto the bed, crossed her waist, and sneered, "I'll go deal with that bitch first, and then I'll come back for your body. Hehe, I'll use your body to eat men..." She turned toward Bai Li Rong, lifting her hand to hook his slightly sharp chin, "Love, you better wait for me to come back, oh, hehe~~~"

The female demon's mocking laughter echoed in the stone cave.

After she left, Bai Li Rong immediately reached out to Ye Xilei. As he stepped forward, he stumbled over the bed's edge and nearly fell onto her, but was caught by something invisible. Ye Xilei slowly sat up, and Bai Li Rong was gently lifted as well.

Bai Li Rong was surprised: "You're alright?"

"Mm." Ye Xilei seemed displeased. She had initially chosen to trust the female demon, but the demon had let her down. She sat cross-legged, letting a faint mist gather around her, the temperature dropping to icy cold.

"Who would've thought that on my first day in the human world, my kind would teach me two lessons." Ye Xilei sighed softly.

"What?" Bai Li Rong fumbled around the edge of the bed and slowly sat down.

Ye Xilei exhaled a breath,
