Chang Pu had thought Ji Fengyan was just putting up a brave front. But after being dragged along for one day and one night…
Chang Pu totally felt like dying.
“Let me down. I won’t have them follow us anymore.” Chang Pu was looking extremely ill. He was not a flying-type demon and could not withstand the torture of being in the air day after day. Ji Fengyan may not be hungry but he was famished…
Ji Fengyan raised her eyebrows at the peaky-looking Chang Pu. She gradually reduced her flying speed.
Chang Pu’s expression took a slight turn for the better, but still looked very sick.
Ji Fengyan found a high spot to land. The moment they touched ground, Chang Pu knelt on the floor and puked.
“…” Ji Fengyan watched Chang Pu in astonishment.
“Are you afraid of heights?” Ji Fengyan suddenly asked.
Chang Pu’s face hardened. “That’s not it!”
Who could withstand that crazy flying for a whole day and night?
During that period, Ji Fengyan had nearly traveled across half of the Plain of Corpses. Worse of all, she had constantly questioned Chang Pu about the area’s geography as they were flying.
Chang Pu would not have answered her honestly under usual circumstances.
But as Ji Fengyan would only stop her flying when she had a query, Chang Pu was too glad to take that chance to regain his breath.
His brain had been nearly blown to mush by the wind. He answered whatever Ji Fengyan asked…
Chang Pu’s sorry state amused Ji Fengyan.
After vomiting for some time, Chang Pu finally recovered a bit. He turned to look at Ji Fengyan. “Your soldiers should have already made it back to camp. When are you planning to release me?”
“Did I say I will release you?” Ji Fengyan raised her brows.
Chang Pu’s face darkened. “Are you planning to kill me? You can try, but if I die, every villager in the Plain of Corpses will die along with me.”
Ji Fengyan narrowed her eyes.
Chang Pu was like a hot potato. She couldn’t release him, but also couldn’t kill him.
If she killed him, even if the demon army couldn’t retaliate against the three-army alliance—the commoners in the Plain of Corpses would end up bearing the brunt of the demons’ bloody revenge.
“I am very curious as to your identity. Are you a scarlet monkey?” Ji Fengyan looked over Chang Pu. He had yet to reveal his demon face.
There were not many demons who could take the human form. A special spell had been used to disguise those demons as humans at Ping City, it was not by their own powers. But Chang Pu could take on the appearance of a human so perfectly. If not for his demon aura, there was no difference at all between him and a real human.
“Scarlet monkey?” Chang Pu snorted. “How could I be something like that?”
Chang Pu’s tone was extremely disdainful of scarlet monkeys.
Ji Fengyan wanted to say something more but Chang Pu said tightly, “I am hungry. If you wish for your prisoner to die of hunger here, you may continue your questions.”
Ji Fengyan was stunned. Chang Pu’s manner had shifted since the start. It must be said that he was a truly intelligent demon.
“There’s no human here for you to eat,” Ji Fengyan replied.
Chang Pu frowned slightly. “I can also eat animals.”
Ji Fengyan shrugged and surveyed the barren surroundings. She raised the heavy sword and chopped it down at the ground!
A lizard which was hiding beneath the sand… was impaled through and through by the sword.
“Here.” Ji Fengyan lifted up the palm-sized lizard at the tip of the sword before Chang Pu.

Chang Pu: =_=…this fellow looks so scary, can he be eaten?
Liu Huo: Come here and try.
Mou Bei: What a complicated matter, can’t even spare a demon. Come beg for votes!
