Indestructible God King - Chapter 76.2
Chapter 76.2 What Is A Demon? (2/2)
“He used to save people. But now, he consumes them! Humans! Do you understand that?” She Qingqing said. Her body trembled.
“He consumes humans? He can choose not to!” Wang Ke said in confusion.
“Ha! Hahahaha! This is the biggest joke I’ve heard lately! All demons consume humans!” She Qingqing laughed bitterly.
“Why do they need to consume them?” Wang Ke asked, still unable to wrap his mind around it.
“It’s not that we want to do it. It’s an instinct from the deepest part of a demon’s soul. It’s beyond our control. Just like now, I have the urge to drink your blood when I see you. My body heats up and I becomes restless. I want to consume humans. I want to drink your blood! Roar!” She Qingqing flashed her fangs at Wang Ke.
Her roar, together with her ferocious face and crimson fangs, gave Wang Ke the chills. He stepped backward while instinctively readying his flying sword, vigilantly looking at She Qingqing in shock.
Her eyes were red with tears as she tried to suppress her urge, forcing her fangs back into her mouth.
“Do you see? This is the demonic nature. Demons consume human blood by nature. They eat their flesh and drink their blood! This is the basic instinct of creatures like us. Hahaha, hahaha! I never expected to also become a demon myself! And I also can’t help but want to eat humans!” She Qingqing said. Tears welled up in her reddened eyes.
“Eat humans? Can’t help but eat humans?” Wang Ke asked, looking worried.
“Right. I’ve been suppressing myself for a very long time. Soon there will be a full moon, and I’m losing grip on this powerful instinct. Once my demonic nature is in full effect, the only thought in my mind will be to consume humans! I only regain my sanity after consuming a human. This is an inevitable process for anyone who becomes a demon. My sanity remains for a long time after eating someone, but the urge returns as time goes on. This craving becomes the strongest whenever there’s a full moon! Iniquity comes from eating humans. A demon’s essence Qi is black because it’s wrapped in iniquities. That is what a demon is: an anti-human existence; a new kind of being that feeds off humans. This is a demon! A demon!” She Qingqing cried in despair.
Wang Ke had an awkward look on his face as he heard She Qingqing’s description. Why do demons sound like the drug addicts on TV?Addiction drives them crazy once in a while; only by taking more drugs can they recover.Demons are similar. Actually, no; they are crueler because they eat humans.
“Eating humans? It’s to suck blood essence dry from a victim. Once the demon sucks the victim’s blood until they die, he will regain consciousness, and his cultivation will improve rapidly. That’s how a demon works! And demons will increasingly love the feeling. Even more so if they can consume righteous cultivators! They on the other hand want to kill demons for virtue merit! That’s why the two factions will never coexist, and neither will they relent! Do you think I can return to the Heavenly Wolf Sect?” She Qingqing’s laughter was filled with sorrow.
Wang Ke frowned while in deep thought.
She Qingqing posed another question, “Do you think Zhu Hongyi and I are humans?”
After a short silence, Wang Ke shook his head and replied, “I think the only reason preventing the righteous and the demonic sects from coexisting peacefully is that demons want to eat humans! If demons stopped eating humans, there would be a strong reason to keep a divide between the two factions! After all, there are also bad people in the righteous sects, while good people like you exist in the demonic sect!”
“How can demons not eat humans?” She Qingqing said as she shook her head.
“Consuming humans is just like an addiction, right? If you can overcome the addiction, that will do!” Wang Ke suggested.
“Overcome? How can we do that? We lose control of ourselves! That’s the demonic nature! Do you think I wanted to become a demon?” She Qingqing said with reddened eyes.
“I have an idea. I’m not sure if you are willing to try…” Wang Ke asked, looking at She Qingqing.
“You?” She Qingqing asked in disbelief.
“Let’s try it. I’ve seen it on television!” Wang Ke said.
“Television?” She Qingqing had no clue.
“Uhh, forget about that. There is a way. Tell me if you’re willing to try it!” Wang Ke asked again.
She Qingqing found it difficult to believe him. Weren’t you even ignorant about demons just a moment ago? And now you’re shamelessly bragging about helping me overcome the addiction of consuming humans?You must be joking!
But no matter what, She Qingqing was willing to grab onto even a sliver of hope!
“Tell me. What do I need to do?” She Qingqing said while frowning.
Wang Ke explained his plan, “Just when your addiction starts to take effect, tie yourself up so that you won’t go around eating humans! And then, try eating something similar and mold your addiction to crave the substitute!”
“Impossible. That’s impossible!” She Qingqing exclaimed in disbelief.
“How would you know if you haven’t tried it?” Wang Ke tried to convince her.
She Qingqing looked at Wang Ke with dubious eyes but nodded in the end.
“How about asking Zhu Hongyi to chain you up? I have some blood essence. Although these packs are from the righteous disciples, none of them died! This should be barely acceptable by your demonic nature, right?” Wang Ke said.
“You’re asking me to drink human blood?” She Qingqing asked with a stare, and was reluctant to do that.
“Compared to consuming a human until you suc them dry, I would consider this a mere blood transfusion!” Wang Ke said to persuade her.
She Qingqing was still reluctant; she could not get over the fact. But compared to eating a human, that was more acceptable.
Soon, Wang Ke asked Zhu Hongyi to return.
Zhu Hongyi’s eyes also widened in disbelief upon hearing that She Qingqing was going to only drink blood essence to eliminate her human-eating addiction. However, he could only concede, given her determination.
Soon after, Zhu Hongyi chained She Qingqing up.
“Qing’er, you don’t have to torture yourself like this!” Zhu Hongyi felt sorry for his lover.
“Save your breath, Zhu Hongyi. Listen to me very carefully: do as Wang Ke says later. I will kill myself the moment I regain consciousness if you dare to let me go and eat someone. I swear!” She Qingqing roared at Zhu Hongyi.
Zhu Hongyi could only yield to her. Darn it. Who asked me to love her this much?I’m a Parlor Lord of the demonic sect, but I have to submit to a woman!Sigh!
“Wang Ke. What kind of rubbish idea did you spout! Humph!” Zhu Hongyi could only vent his anger on Wang Ke.
“Please forgive me, Parlor Lord. It took me a great deal of effort to convince her not to kill herself!” Wang Ke explained himself.
Zhu Hongyi immediately lost his only avenue to vent.
“Good, Parlor Lord She. You no longer need to suppress yourself thanks to Parlor Lord Zhu who chained you up. Unleash your demonic nature!” Wang Ke said to She Qingqing.
She then relaxed. Next, her eyes turned crimson, and two blood-colored fangs extended from her mouth. Two massive wings grew on her back.
“Roar~~~~~~~~~!”
Following She Qingqing’s roar, everyone in the island thought they had heard a ferocious beast. All of them looked toward She Qingqing’s residence in shock.
“I want to eat humans. I want to eat humans. Roar!” She Qingqing roared ferociously.
