The Good-for-Nothing Seventh Miss

A group of low-level demons crouched on the ground and remained frozen as they sensed the powerful aura from a high-level demon. Even though their intellect was similar to wild beasts, they still found it weird.

Why would a powerful figure of their species stand so high on the tree branch for such a long time? The human in his grip also looked very delicious. The world of demons adhere to strict divisions of levels, so the low-level demons would always have to bow to the high-level demons. Therefore, they had no choice but to worship and revere that powerful demon on the tree.

However …

Had he not finished with eating that small human?

Those low-level demons finally raised their heads, but they were stunned with what they saw.

That esteemed high-level demon had actually started a conversation with the ‘food’!

What kind of situation was that?

Their tiny brains could not process the scene that they had seen. They were curious as to why he had not devoured the food. Instead, they caught him staring at it.

If those low-level demons could understand the conversation between Shen Yanxiao and Freud, they would not have been that curious.

Unfortunately, none of the other demons understood the situation, and there were only two beings who were in a wretched conversation within the dense forest.

No one knew what Shen Yanxiao and Freud had discussed. They only knew that Freud had not devoured that delicacy, and he had even released her. Furthermore, he had chased them away as he leaped and hid in deeper parts of the forest.

As for Shen Yanxiao, she had a sly smile on her face as she watched the back of the high-level demon who had left after a defeat.

“Did you guess that I would use that method to escape?” After Freud had left, Shen Yanxiao had rudely gestured to a certain someone who had asked her to wait and observe. It looked as though he had left her to fend for herself.

Xiu declined to comment, and he did not answer her question.

If Shen Yanxiao could see his physical body, she would undoubtedly strangle his neck and asked him why he had been so unreasonable.

When she faced Freud, she had to control the entire situation by herself. She knew that if she were to make a single mistake, the demon would kill and devour her. Xiu had so much confidence in her that he allowed her to negotiate with the demon at ease.

She might have achieved a perfect conclusion, but the process was a little too much for her heart to bear.

“You don’t seem to be worried that he’ll eat me,” Shen Yanxiao snorted.

Xiu was silent for a moment before his chilly and confident voice said, “He won’t eat you. If he dared to do so, I would have snapped all of his bones.”

Shen Yanxiao stuck out her tongue discreetly and said, “Alright, I know. My death means your death, and we’re the most solid of allies.”

“Yes.” Xiu gave her the barest response.

“Even though I have discussed a collaboration with that glutton, Freud, we would still need to win that competition first.” Shen Yanxiao touched her chin. The competition was in six months, but she probably only had four to five months to prepare for it.

“When we get the Flame Grass, you will have to locate the Skeleton Flower as soon as you can. As soon as we gather all three items, I will try to undo your nest seal. If we could do that, then you would have a higher chance to win at that competition.” Xiu was always more talkative whenever they talked about the competition.
