Daughter of the Dao and Devil Venerables

CHAPTER TWENTY (PART II)

Chapter 20 Part 2 – The Demon Merchants (II)

Lu Yaoyao listened intently to their conversation. She seemed to only partially understand, however, and thus was made confused by what she heard. Because she was listening so intently, she didn’t even realize when she had finished eating the spiritual egg custard.
Lu Qingyu took out a medium-grade spirit stone and placed it on the table, “Do you have a guest room open?”

“Yes. Fellow Daoist, please come with me.” Seeing the spirit stone, the buffalo demon’s eyes brightened, and his attitude became even more enthusiastic. He politely led the way for the father and daughter, taking them to the best room in the inn.

Lu Qingyu picked up his daughter and walked up the stairs to the second floor.

Lu Yaoyao was listening with gusto when her line of sight suddenly changed, and her body was lifted. She turned her head and saw that Beautiful Daddy was carrying her and leaving the lobby. Lu Yaoyao reached out her chubby hands and hugged Beautiful Daddy’s neck. She looked over Daddy’s shoulder at the lobby below, only to meet with a pair of greedy eyes full of malicious intent.

What a tender little cub…

Lu Yaoyao quickly shrank into Lu Qingyu’s arms in fear. Lu Qingyu patted her back softly before turning his head. His eyes were calm with no emotion, but there was deep darkness within those pupils. When the demons met his eyes, they felt an inexplicable chill rising on their back, which made them wanted to run away in fear.

When Lu Qingyu retracted his gaze, the mysterious fear also disappeared. Thinking of how they were actually frightened by a mere gaze, the demons were unwilling, so one of them exclaimed: “Big brother, they are good preys!”

“Yes, ah. Big brother, we shouldn’t waste it.” The snake demon didn’t hide her greed and lust. “After we capture them, let me play with the man first.” A forked bright red tongue came out of her mouth as she hissed.

“Big sister cannot enjoy it alone. Don’t forget your little sister when you get such a good man.” The fox demon pursed her lips coquettishly.

The snake demon smiled. Her expression was full of lust: “Have this big sister of yours ever forget to share?”

“Isn’t it just a handsome face?” When other demons in the group saw how much interest the two female demons showed towards the man who had just left, they snorted in dissatisfaction.

The snake demon smiled meaningfully, “It’s more than just a handsome face.”

The fox demon followed suit: “Even if we cannot sell him, it’s good enough to have him stay with us for the winter. It’s freezing now. He can warm us sisters.”

“That cub smells delicious…hehe!”

The leader of this group was an ugly-looking male demon. As he listened to his subordinates’ urge, he also became moved, but still didn’t forget to be cautious: “I cannot see that man’s cultivation base.”

“Big brother is too cautious. Maybe he conceals it with a tool or spell.”

“There are so many people in the Demon Core stage here. What is to afraid of?”

“Right, right.”

All their group members were in the Demon Core stage. They also had special pills that could conceal the demon aura in their body, which was the only way for demons to go to the Human Realm openly. Coupled with a lot of powerful magic weapons in their hands, they had even sold demons in the Demon Soul stage before. This made them not afraid of demons whose strength was a level higher than themselves. That male demon’s cultivation base couldn’t be at the Soul Projection stage, right? With such strength, he would be strong enough to be a demon general in the capital city, and there was no way that such a figure would appear alone in this middle of nowhere.
