Chapter 1317 The Mermaid: Her Beauty Shine Like the Tide (53)
"Yes, I am a mermaid, a half-demon."
“The Merfolk are rare in the Western Ash Domain. There is little water here. The Merfolk’s homeland is in the Eastern Sea. I heard from my father that the Merfolk do not like to come to the land and prefer to stay in the water to sleep. However, every Merfolk Queen must travel across the continent.”
Li Guang observed carefully. When she said she was a half-demon, Bai Heng did not show any disgust or disdain. He seemed very calm.
"You don't hate half-demon?"
"Why should we hate them? My father said that even half-demons are still demons, and we should treat every demon citizen equally."
Li Guang praised, "The old Demon King has a grand vision and is truly respectable. Are the Merfolk also under the Demon King's jurisdiction?"
"It is not under the jurisdiction of the Demon King. In fact, the Demon Realm is part of the cultivation world. Although it is relatively independent and has a large territory, the demons in it are mainly birds and beasts."
Most sea monsters live in the East Sea. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, it was under the jurisdiction of the Dragon Palace. However, now, the dragons in this world have all disappeared. No dragons have appeared for at least ten thousand years. It is estimated that they have become extinct, just like the phoenix.
Therefore, the sea monsters are currently ruled by the Merfolk. Two hundred years ago, I did accompany my father to the East Sea. The current Merfolk Queen was just a young master obsessed with cultivation, pursued by many male Merfolk cultivators two hundred years ago.
Li Guang felt that her little friend Yu Yu was too conspicuous. If she really hatched, she should disguise herself as an ordinary bird.
The title of "the last phoenix in this world" is something countless people would fight tooth and nail for, even risking their lives.
"So that's why there hasn't been a Demon Emperor who can rule over all the demon races?"
Bai Heng shook his head and laughed, "That requires absolute strength, as well as ambition and a willingness to face trouble. Unifying the demon race is not easy. Otherwise, it will be like now, because my father has passed away, I, the young master of the demon race, have disappeared, and the new demon king, Liao, cannot hold his throne because he does not have the Demon King's Seal. So he has no choice but to shift the conflict to the human race, causing the demon realm and the Western Ember Domain to fall into internal strife."
Li Guang sighed and comforted him, "I believe in you. You can definitely avenge the old demon king. But you must conserve your energy and not act impulsively."
"It's alright, don't worry about me. My cultivation level was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage before, but with your help in healing me recently, I've recovered to the early Nascent Soul stage. I'm very confident about taking revenge. It's just that this war continues unabated, causing immense suffering and death..."
Bai Heng was troubled by the current situation, wondering if he should return to the demon race as soon as possible, find an opportunity to go to the forbidden area of the demon race, avoid the trap set by Liao for him, and accept the inheritance of the demon king.
"You probably haven't been to the Merfolk's territory. If you lack the Merfolk's heritage, you might need to return to the Merfolk's territory. You and your two children can also enter the Merfolk's Cleansing Pool for a cleansing and marrow-refining process."
"Thank you for reminding me. I plan to go to the Merfolk in the future to find out about my origins and why I was born in the mortal world."
Bai Heng frowned and said, "That's complicated. Actually, when I first met you, I didn't realize you were a half-demon. Although I didn't understand what kind of demon you were, I did feel that you had pure demon blood. It seems that your mermaid bloodline is very strong. What color is your mermaid tail?"
She wasn't telling the truth.
"White. It's alright, I'll find out. How old is the current Queen of the Merfolk? Is she very strong?"
"She's over a thousand years old, maybe two hundred years ago. When I met her, I wanted to fight her, but she said we shouldn't bully cubs and turned to fight my father. My father didn't agree to fight her and sent a subordinate with early Nascent Soul cultivation. The two demons fought to a draw. She's definitely stronger now."
Li Guang was somewhat surprised. So, if the Mermaid Queen already had the cultivation level of a Nascent Soul cultivator two hundred years ago, then why was she able to be deceived by a human cultivator, according to Shen Ci? Daring to deceive her, wouldn't he be risking his life? Moreover, the human cultivator who could be favored by the Mermaid Queen must have something special about him.
Bai Heng gave her another map.
"This is the location of the Merfolk's territory in my memory, as well as a map showing the distribution of various tribes in the surrounding seas. The Merfolk have always been proud, believing that no one or no demon would dare to attack them, and they will not easily change the location of their territory."
"Thank you so much!"
Liguang happily put the map away; she could use it later.
For the next month, she continued to raise the babies and cultivate, while Bai Heng would come to see the egg babies in the spiritual spring every day, talk to them, and be very patient.
For a moment, I really felt a sense of peace and tranquility.
