The protagonist committed numerous evil deeds.

Chapter 230 You are demons, you deserve to die?

I am a demon, I deserve to die; you are demons, you also deserve to die.

Wen Li repeated the sentence to herself, then asked, "What does this sentence mean? Does she not want to be human anymore?"

"Anle, do you want to be a human?"

Anle felt somewhat ashamed. Sometimes she would act superior and manipulate people, while at other times she would envy them.

She answered truthfully: "When I first took human form, the cultivation world was far too powerful. We demons had to hide, otherwise we would easily be killed by cultivators. After the demon world was destroyed, the demons lived in constant fear."

"Our prevailing belief among demons is that the strong prey on the weak and only the fittest survive. Only by constantly cultivating and becoming stronger can one live a long and good life. But as humans, if you have the ability, you can cultivate and ascend to immortality. Even if you are weak, someone will protect you. Cultivation itself is a long and lonely process. When you see those who have family and friends with them, you can't help but envy them."

"Before I cultivated into a demon, I was too weak and could only be manipulated by others. At that time, I envied humans the most and only wanted to cultivate and transform into human form as soon as possible. After I cultivated into a demon, I also felt that humans were good. They did not have to worry about being killed by cultivators, nor did they have to worry about their cultivation progressing to a standstill."

Wen Li listened attentively. Back when she was the Demon Lord, she loved to believe in the survival of the fittest, thinking that humans were too weak and unworthy of living in the Three Realms. Slightly more powerful demons would injure them if they lost control of their power, sometimes without even intending to harm them.

If they want to coexist peacefully, then the demons have to back down a bit and control their power and temper. In fact, she felt that this was also a kind of injustice.

It now seems that the rabbit demon wanted to integrate into the human race. She wanted to be human, and instead of continuing her cultivation after transforming into human form, she married a human man.

She might not even identify with her demon identity. Does she even consider herself a demon?

Wen Li suddenly changed her tone and repeated the sentence: "Am I a demon? I deserve to die? You are demons? You deserve to die too?"

Am I a demon? Have I ever hurt you? Do I deserve to die? You are demons? You've harmed me like this, aren't you demons too? Don't you deserve to die?

Hearing Wen Li's words, An Le pondered for a moment and said, "I am a demon, so I deserve to die? You are demons, so you also deserve to die?"

I'm a demon, so I deserve to die? Then if you're demons, do you deserve to die too?

Wen Li: "I'm a demon? I deserve to die. You're demons? You deserve to die too."

Am I a demon? Have I hurt you? I deserve to die. You've harmed me like this, aren't you demons? You deserve to die too.

Anle: "I am a demon, I deserve to die. You are demons, you also deserve to die?"

I am a demon, therefore I deserve to die. If you are demons, do you also deserve to die?

The two looked at each other, their minds somewhat confused.

What's the meaning of that rabbit demon?

What does "rabbit demon" mean?

"Who? Who deserves to die?" Jiuying suddenly asked.

Wen Li: "It's definitely not her own fault that she deserved to die. She must have been filled with resentment before she died. This sentence sounds like a curse."

Before Jiuying could say anything, Anle replied, "Yes, it's a curse. This rabbit demon is not to be underestimated. She only cultivated for two hundred years before successfully transforming into human form, and that was in an era with such scarce spiritual energy."

Wen Li: "If it's a curse, could the way to break it be related to this sentence?"

As Jiuying watched the two of them talking back and forth in a language she couldn't understand at all, she looked at Anle with some annoyance. How dare a mere little demon steal the Venerable One's attention in front of her?

Jiuying spoke up, "Your Majesty, what does this have to do with rabbit disease?"

As soon as she asked the question, Wen Li told her to shut up, and then she realized she couldn't speak anymore.

"Have you found out how those people who suffered from rabbit disease back then recovered?"

Anle shook his head and said, "I'm afraid only those who participated in the rescue back then know what happened. Even those who survived the rabbit disease don't know how they recovered."

"The people from back then?"

“Shen Yingsi should know, since he won the hearts of the people during this disaster when he was very young. So those old ministers, like Xie Wanzhou and Wen Zhien, should also know.”

Wen Li crossed her legs. "Since you know about it but don't use it, it can only mean that this method does more harm than good. It can be used when there are few patients, but it's probably not an option for such a large-scale infection as it is now."

"You are demons, you deserve to die too?"

Who can decide whether they should die—those who weren't infected, or the demon hunters?

Wen Li then asked, "Have any demon hunters been infected?"

"It wasn't there back then, but now it seems that even some demon hunters with low cultivation levels are starting to get infected."

Wen Li's mind cleared up a bit. Whether those who contracted the disease back then should die depended on those who didn't get the disease.

What now?

How's Wen Zhi'en doing?

“He went to Yueban for several days in a row, acting very mysteriously. In recent years, almost no one has been able to get into Yueban; Liang Qi has been very strict in guarding it.”

"Has anyone contracted rabbit disease during the middle of the month?"

"I! I know!" Jiuying answered hastily.

Finally, Wen Li's gaze fell upon her.

She sounded somewhat aggrieved, "That time you left me behind and came back by yourself, I thought you had gone to the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I went inside to look for you."

"If you utter another word, I'll rip out all nine of your tongues."

"Yes! It seems there are some inside, but compared to other places, there are very few infected people. However, it has already spread throughout the city."

Even though no one went in during the middle of the month, some people still got infected. Is this rabbit disease somehow connected to the heavens?

No, recently, some demons in the celestial realm have also started to be inexplicably infected.

"I understand, Anle, you may leave."

"Yes."

As soon as Anle left, Jiuying transformed into a nine-headed serpent, its nine heads rhythmically patting Wenli's shoulders and rubbing her head.

Wen Li's agitated heart was soothed; she had to admit that the pet snake was well cared for.

"Your Excellency, please don't think about these things. Let's see how the human race handles this first. Once they've healed him, we'll force them to heal us. He may be stupid, but he's not dead yet."

Yes, why did so many people die from this disease back then, but now not a single one has died?

The person who created this disease didn't intend to kill people, but simply to make them stupid?

Who, who likes fools so much? Who's gone mad and wants everyone in the world to become a fool?

Wen Li's unease resurfaced.

Impossible, but...

"What do you say, Your Excellency?"

Wen Li was lost in her own thoughts, completely oblivious to what Jiu Ying was whispering in her ear.

Wen Li casually replied, "It's fine."

"Then, Your Excellency, I'll arrange it for you right now! I'm the most experienced in this kind of thing!"

"Okay, then go ahead." Wen Li didn't know what she was talking about, but she thought it was good to get rid of her. It was a bit of a nuisance to have someone so brainless around.

Having received Wen Li's affirmation, Jiu Ying happily went out.

It seems she guessed right! His Majesty is indeed bored and wants to find a few handsome male concubines to play with.

Since the Venerable One has entrusted her with such an important task, she must search the entire Three Realms no matter what. Whether they are demons or humans, as long as they are handsome men, she will not let any of them go!

Wen Li was completely unaware of Jiu Ying's thoughts, and she descended to the mortal realm again.
