The Demon Slayer Order

Ye Xilei was not one to fear the world. She was not afraid that the female demon would go back on her word, because she saw through the demon's capabilities. Comparing their strengths, she was sure the demon couldn't defeat her. Otherwise, she would have already escaped, just like when she saw Poze in the Demon Realm.

At the same time, she was quite angry. Originally, encountering a fellow demon in the human world was a happy thing, but who would have thought that it would be like meeting a fellow villager and then getting stabbed in the back? The female demon not only coveted her body, but also wanted to use her appearance to seduce men. This was something Ye Xilei couldn't accept. She hated the idea of using her looks to lure men.

Once, she was upset when her father married so many beautiful concubines, thinking of creating her own harem of handsome men. However, she did not want those men to be won over by her beauty, but rather to stay willingly, just like her father's concubines. Of course, that grand wish was still far away—currently, finding her real father was more important. One couldn't forget their father just because of beauty.

When she stepped out of the cave, she saw the female demon and a young girl in white engaged in a fierce battle. The girl in white had big eyes and a small face, with sparkling black eyes full of spirit.

Ye Xilei looked at the sword in the girl's hand, which was infused with spiritual energy. She wondered if this was the rumored cultivator girl. She suddenly grew curious about the girl practicing cultivation and debated whether to intervene or just watch the show.

However, what Ye Xilei liked most was to "kick a person when they're down." In her dictionary, there was no such thing as a noble one-on-one fight. If it called for a group attack, she would go for it—and she would attack to the point of death.

It just so happened that the girl in white was no match for the demon, and while the demon wasn't paying attention, Ye Xilei jumped behind the demon and gave her a solid slap.

The demon staggered, glaring at Ye Xilei. "What's your problem? Why are you turning your elbow out?"

Ye Xilei wiggled her finger. Her fox eyes narrowed into a line. "No, no, no. I'm turning my elbow towards justice."

"Who?"

"Exactly. It's a human expression. You've been in the human world for so long and still don't know it. What kind of fool are you?"

The demon was momentarily stunned by Ye Xilei's words. She thought she had heard people from the "colored eyes" race use it. (In the Yuan Dynasty, the population was divided into four classes, with people of the "colored eyes" being second-class citizens, mainly from the western regions.)

Taking advantage of the demon's confusion, Ye Xilei jumped up again and slapped her. "Us demons have our pride! We'd rather starve than eat people!"

The demon was struck by Ye Xilei's blow, spitting out blood. Ye Xilei landed in front of the girl in white, throwing her a flirtatious glance. "Right, fairy? Eating people is wrong."

The girl in white was stunned. The silver-haired, silver-eyed demon in front of her was extremely beautiful, radiating the aura of a young man despite clearly being a demon. Especially after that one sharp glance, the girl's heartbeat inexplicably quickened.

At the same time, the demon seized the opportunity to escape. But Ye Xilei had already raised her hand, closing one eye as if aiming, and made a bow-and-arrow gesture with both hands. She smiled wickedly and let go of her right hand, causing an invisible arrow to shoot from her hand and pierce the demon's shoulder.

The demon immediately collapsed. Ye Xilei flew over, grabbed the demon by the throat, and asked, "Are you still going to eat people?"

"I won't, I won't!" the demon begged.

"Then..." Suddenly, murderous intent came from above Ye Xilei's head. She looked up in surprise to see several sharp swords falling from the sky. Ye Xilei didn't have time to save the demon and quickly retreated, watching as the demon was struck by the swords.

Blood spread from under the demon's body as spiritual light faded. The demon revealed her true form—an ugly, gray fox. At that moment, Ye Xilei felt a pang of pain in her heart. No matter how terrible the demon had been, she was still her kin.

"Why did you kill her?" Ye Xilei raised her head and glared at the girl in white, who was now holding her sword straight at Ye Xilei.

The girl's eyes sparkled with determination. "Because she's a demon!"

"Does that mean demons should be killed?" Ye Xilei didn't think it was fair.

The girl's bright eyes shone with certainty. "Yes! Haven't you heard of the Demon Slayer Order?"

"The Demon Slayer Order?"

"It means kill demons on sight!" After speaking, the girl immediately swung her sword towards Ye Xilei.

Ye Xilei quickly dodged, furious. "You're killing me after I helped you!"

The girl's sword was raised, "You helped me? Hah! You demons never have good intentions. How could a demon help me?"

"You've had enough! Humans have both good and bad. Why can't demons have good and evil too?"

The girl sneered. "Hah, look at your seductive appearance. You must be using it to charm men and rip their hearts out! Demons are inherently evil!"

Ye Xilei was fuming. This was an insult to her! She didn't understand why everyone always used her looks as a reason. Her eyes narrowed as her lips curled into a grin. "Hah, I think you're just jealous of my good looks. Fine, I'll make you a demon and let you experience the pain of being slandered!"

At the same time, Ye Xilei's feet left the ground, disappearing instantly from the girl's sight. The girl, startled, quickly looked around, shouting, "Demon, don't play tricks!"

"Who's playing tricks? Your speed is just too slow!" In an instant, Ye Xilei appeared behind the girl, grinning at her.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Xilei's right hand pressed against the girl's forehead. "Departing Soul!" Suddenly, a transparent hand emerged from Ye Xilei's palm and pressed into the girl's forehead.

The scene before the girl's eyes was unlike anything she had ever seen. She was stunned, unable to react. Her spiritual eyes saw a living soul detaching from Ye Xilei's body and moving towards her.

The next moment, she felt a strange force pushing her away from her body. In horror, she saw herself being lifted in mid-air.

The girl, stunned, didn't even manage to scream.

Ye Xilei held the girl, blinked, and spoke. "Your name is Su Su, huh?"

Su Su gasped, "You, you, how do you know?"

"Haha, little girl, you've never seen such advanced magic, huh? Honestly, if I wanted to kill you right now, I could, but your constant talk of demons being evil and seducing men really annoys me! I'm going to make you a demon and let you feel the suffering of being falsely accused!"

Su Su's eyes widened in terror. For the first time, she realized she had encountered an unimaginable, powerful demon. Her eyes reflected a human figure, and for the first time, she wanted to cry out for help.

Baili Rong had arrived early at the cave with Mao Mao. He overheard the conversation between Ye Xilei and Su Su. His face froze for a moment when he heard Ye Xilei's words.

Just as Ye Xilei was about to put Su Su's soul into her own body, turning Su Su into a demon, she suddenly stopped, her expression tense. She changed her movements, releasing Su Su's soul and returning it to her body.

At that moment, Ye Xilei fell back, her eyes rolled back as if she were playing dead.

Baili Rong's face showed a trace of doubt. He heard Su Su's voice: "Mao Mao, Poze is coming, hide quickly! Baili Rong, no matter what happens, you pretend like you don't know."

Baili Rong recognized the voice and smiled. The strange air vibrations around him signaled that something was coming.

He felt his way out of the cave and found a large tree, pausing nearby.

A violent wind suddenly rose, blowing Baili Rong's long hair and the silver-blue ribbon over his eyes.

Before him, a massive black-purple door surrounded by violet mist rose from the ground. The door slowly creaked open, releasing a strange fragrance. Inside, there was nothing but an empty, dark void.

Baili Rong stood with his hands behind his back, a calm, exploratory smile on his face, as if to say, "Today is truly a strange day."

From that void, the Wolf King Poze stepped out. His black cloak billowed in the wind, and his silver armor gleamed under the sunlight.

Following him were the Dragon King Huo Yan and the Fox Prince Ye Lan.
