Chapter 729: Chapter 243: Don’t Regret it [Additional chapter for The Dawn Alliance Leader] Chapter 729: Chapter 243: Don’t Regret it [Additional chapter for The Dawn Alliance Leader] “So, all I could do was flee, even though it was unjust to , I have no sha before the Jiao Clan.”
“Consider it as my final payback to the group that nurtured and valued since my childhood.”
Jiao Sansheng revealed a mocking look in his eyes, saying lightly, “If one day, the entire Jiao clan knew the truth…hehe…”
He suddenly stopped laughing and didn’t say anything more.
The Cat Emperor sighed lightly.
“In reality, after I began to flee, Jiao Jiuxiao sought out a dozen tis.”
Jiao Sansheng said, “He asked … if I wanted to co back.”
The Cat Emperor’s gaze stiffened, she never thought there were such hidden sorrows.
“I can’t go back, don’t want to go back, and of course, there’s a part of that is afraid to go back. I’m not sure if Jiao Jiuxiao, after ascending to the throne, would set a killing trap for . After all, only the dead can truly keep secrets. Thus when Jiao Jiuxiao had a chance to help , like when I needed to go to the Nine Gods Mountain Range but couldn’t go myself, Jiao Jiuxiao personally arrived and said, ‘Take this waste, and throw him into the Nine Gods Mountain Range!'”
“After such coincidences occurred several tis, I began to reject Jiao Jiuxiao’s kindness.”
“On one hand it was too obvious, on the other hand, I was afraid. I feared that putting too much faith in him might lead to a dead end. I didn’t want to bet on it, let alone dare to.”
“In the years I spent alone, I wandered through many human territories, saw many dynastic changes, fathers killing sons, sons killing fathers, all for the supre position, what wouldn’t they do?”
“But because of him, I indeed acquired many resources and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.”
Jiao Sansheng said, “You asked if I hate Jiao Jiuxiao. I don’t hate him. We are both the sa, lost and alone. Although I am desolate and miserable, isn’t he also living in fear, unable to sleep at night?”
The Cat Emperor gently nodded her head.
“But still, the most detestable of the Jiao Clan are us two!”
“Jiao Jiuxiao and !”
“Yes, I don’t hate him, I just feel disgusted, find him annoying, repulsive!”
“But yet I have to try my best to maintain it.”
Jiao Sansheng said, “I always knew one thing and believed in one thing, that I wouldn’t just end this life like this! I will have an opportunity, to rise again!”
“Or perhaps, this is my obsession, the source of my drive to persist till this day!”
“Even if I completely lose hope and live out my life and have my body buried sowhere unknown, I am still the most outstanding genius of the entire Jiao Clan! This has never changed! Just like my pride, it has never wavered!”
Jiao Sansheng laughed lightly and said, “That’s why over these years, it’s rare for anyone to see my eyes, and even rarer for to reveal my gaze in front of others.”
“Because I have never been defeated!”
“Just now, the Cat Emperor asked about my future plans.”
Jiao Sansheng took a deep breath, exhaled, and said, “I don’t plan on making any changes and will continue to maintain my current state. Even if I get dical treatnt from the Divine Doctor, even if my life source is fully restored, I will still tell others that although I’m healed, the delay was too long, and I can no longer make any progress, and my lifespan has only slightly increased.”
“Let Jiao Jiuxiao continue to deal with those disgusting clansn.”
“I will continue to live a carefree life among humans, perhaps soday, when I can ascend to the realm of the Demon Saint, I will appear in the world in a new form. But before that day cos, I am just a dying old demon, that’s all!”
Jiao Sansheng said, “This is my complete plan.”
The Cat Emperor furrowed her eyebrows.
Jiao Sansheng’s words had secrets, shocks, friendship, calculations, cunning sches, and also his journey of growth.
It seed like everything was true.
But as the Emperor of the Demon Clan, the Cat Emperor knew deep down that while Jiao Sansheng’s words were indeed true, they were only partially true, because within them, there were still many hidden mysteries and secrets.
In other words, if this matter had ten parts of the plot, then Jiao Sansheng at most just revealed one or two parts.
But the remaining parts, Jiao Sansheng, would not reveal.
The most taboo thing in the exchange between strong individuals is to delve too deep. What he revealed was already enough, at least for the Cat Emperor, it was enough.
Especially the fact that he revealed a very important piece of news – Emperor Jiao Jiuxiao would also co for treatnt!
When the ti cos to that point, many secrets would not be kept hidden anymore!
Just this secret alone provides the Cat Emperor with vast room to maneuver, and with her wisdom, she can gain imnse benefits from it.
But it was also because of this that Jiao Sansheng revealed this bit of information.
Because Jiao Jiuxiao will co sooner or later!
As long as he cos, everything said today will be exposed.
“If, Old Jiao has nowhere good to go next, I do have a place to recomnd.”
The Cat Emperor said lightly.
A mocking look flashed through Jiao Sansheng’s lowered eyes.
But because his head was bowed at this mont, the Cat Emperor did not see his mockery.
Jiao Sansheng spoke lightly, “Does this Divine Doctor happen to need a bodyguard?”
The Cat Emperor couldn’t help but frown.
With a single phrase, Jiao Sansheng revealed his colors of a seasoned old ranger.
He had managed to uncover his true intentions just by a simple question.
Both were cantankerous folk, the Cat Emperor decided there was no need to beat around the bush anymore and asked, “Would you be willing, Elder Jiao?”
Jiao Sansheng said indifferently, “Being by the divine physician’s side is indeed a good place, but it goes against my original intention. If the price to repair my origin is to lower myself and beco just a minion, I’d rather not treat this injury and won’t dean myself because of it.”
The Cat Emperor nodded his head, “So things are hard to predict, and it could be fate forging ahead, who knows. Anyway, Elder Jiao, your na has already been registered. You’re first on my list and when the Demon Clan can be treated, I will notify you first.”
Jiao Sansheng responded, “Thank you, Your Majesty.”
The Cat Emperor asked, “One last question, how did you guess my intention?”
“Because Your Majesty will eventually leave to find your husband.”
Jiao Sansheng calmly stated, “And when Your Majesty departs, that will be when the divine physician is at his most vulnerable. Despite the current good tis, as soon as Your Majesty departs, the divine physician will be manipulated by others, no longer free.”
“How could tiny Yuezhou City hide a great physician like him?”
Jiao Sansheng sighed, “The pond is too shallow.”
The Cat Emperor raised her eyebrows slightly and said, “Oh?”
“One of the reasons why I am unwilling to accept Your Majesty’s favor is precisely this. When that ti cos, the visitors will be powerful forces from Cloud Top, Nine Colors powerhouses, even the Demon Clan Emperor, all coming for him. I won’t be surprised; the heights they occupy are beyond my reach. At that ti, even if I want to stay, it would be futile. I would lose one more life in vain.”
Jiao Sansheng was frank, “I can’t protect him. I’m not qualified to be his bodyguard.”
“I understand, Elder Jiao. Your words have been upfront and honest. Many could add flowers to brocade, but few would send coal in snowy weather.”
The Cat Emperor waved her hand. Jiao Sansheng bowed his head and stooped his waist respectfully before leaving.
However, at this mont the Cat Emperor understood. Although the respectful Jiao in front of her lowered his gaze, his eyes were perhaps already filled with indescribable mockery and derision.
“I originally wanted to give you a broad path to Heaven considering your situation, but your preservation of your integrity has lost you this opportunity. Don’t regret your choice today in the future.”
“I promise you, you will regret it.”
The Cat Emperor murmured to herself before commanding authoritatively, “Next!”
The second demon clan mber ca in tremblingly.
“Greetings, Your Majesty!”
“What have you prepared?”
“…”
“Not enough for the consumption.”
The Cat Emperor was very straightforward, “What you have offered is unable to supply the life source needed for your recovery.”
The Demon Clan mber was dejected, “Your Majesty…”
“Here’s a piece of advice for you. There won’t be many among the Demon Clan who can et the requirents, and there are not many who have been severely injured and reached this level either. Go back and prepare well and you can find to register again in ten days.”
The Cat Emperor kindly advised, “Since you have travelled a long way to co to Yuezhou City, you should not want to make things difficult for . You must know that for those of your rank, as long as the divine physician opens his mouth, you have countless more opportunities than those of lower cultivation.”
“Even if we step back ten thousand steps, your lifespan can still support you for three to five years and the divine physician’s clinic won’t be just for today.”
The Cat Emperor sighed, “You’re not far off. Go and prepare.”
“Yes, thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty. I shall take my leave.”
Although the demon clan mber was disappointed, he also knew that what the Cat Emperor had said was reasonable. Staying here reluctantly would only be a waste of ti. It would be better to quickly gather resources while he was still alive.
What was crucial was that the Cat Emperor did not act high and mighty but gave guidance, which was quite admirable.
When the demon clan mber left, his posture was much straighter. Although he was rejected due to insufficient resources, he didn’t leave disheartened. Instead, he already felt like he had been put on the list.
The third, fourth…
The Cat Emperor continued until the evening, only including six individuals on the list.
The majority of them, shockingly, didn’t have enough Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures!
The Cat Emperor carefully looked everything over and couldn’t help but sigh. The Demon Clan’s ability to find Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures far surpassed that of humans.
But what they gained was far less than humans!
This was truly puzzling to the point of incredulity.
When another inadequate demon appeared in front of her, the Cat Emperor’s curiosity could not be curbed, she asked, “I have a question that I don’t understand. Given the talents of our Demon Clan and the abundance of resources where we live, along with our exceptional ability to travel across mountains and fly through high altitudes from a young age, when it cos to looking for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, we should be much more efficient than humans, right?”
“Why is it that all of your Spiritual Pearls and the like are more than sufficient, even much more than needed, but the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are inadequate? What’s the reason for this? Is it that you’ve found fewer Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in your life than most humans?”
The Cat Emperor beca more and more puzzled. What was going on with these demons?
They clearly had the advantage but often fell short and rarely had enough resources!
