Chapter 262: Chapter 251: Since We’re Here

But Wang Wu still had no intention of letting go.

What about General Xuelang?

I’m afraid he and Wolf Bu’er are birds of a feather—

“Stop, I’m not a Spirit Beast, nor have I betrayed the West Wilderness Demon Race, I just want to rescue my daughter. Xiong Wu, it’s you, right? Besides you, no other Bear Demon would have the ability to infiltrate Human Territory.”

General Xuelang continued quickly: “I mean you no harm. If I were a Spirit Beast of the Human Race, with just a shout I could make you run. I am a Peak Third-Grade Great Demon, even if I am injured and my Physical Strength is lacking, do you think I lack other Divine Power Secret Techniques to defeat you? I simply don’t want to cause too much commotion.”

“Xiong Wu, calm down. I’m sorry for what happened back then, but times have changed. The West Wilderness Demon Race has become the Human Race’s lapdog. I don’t want to be a lapdog, so I planned to lead my clan in a secret migration to the South Wilderness, but we were betrayed. After a fierce ambush, many of my clan’s children were killed or captured, and even my daughter, Bu Er, was taken and forced to become a Spirit Beast.”

“I barely escaped with severe injuries. My only goal now is to rescue my daughter. What I’ve said is the truth. Xiong Wu, I know your situation is dire too. So how about this: we can cooperate. We could jointly travel to the Northern Wilderness to seek refuge with the Northern Wilderness Demon Race. This Human Territory is riddled with danger and traps; the Human Race is deceitful beyond defense, and we truly cannot afford to provoke them.”

Upon hearing these words from General Xuelang, Wang Wu immediately believed twenty percent.

Because earlier when he arrived at Jade Mountain Manor, that Nanny Xu really used a Snow Wolf as a sacrifice to revive Master Mu.

If it were an ordinary Snow Wolf, it would be another story, but that Snow Wolf was indeed Wolf Bu’er’s cousin, the core of the Snow Wolf Clan.

This was enough to prove that what General Xuelang said was true.

Most importantly, if General Xuelang had truly become a Spirit Beast, why waste words here? A single shout would suffice.

Just then, Wang Wu finally slowly released his bite, leaving General Xuelang’s neck, but still firmly locked its hands and feet, just in case.

It was only now he noticed how truly white General Xuelang’s neck was, whiter than frost and snow, with a different charm.

Hmm, some parts are not behaving.

They’re becoming increasingly disobedient.

“Let go of me!”

General Xuelang seemed to sense something and angrily glared at Wang Wu, reprimanding him in a low voice.

If it were before, Wang Wu might have awkwardly laughed and jumped up, but now he’s a bear, with a thick skin. Mainly, he hasn’t gotten the information he wants yet.

“Sorry, my offense. I want to know what you’re doing here. Is Wolf Bu’er just ahead?”

Wang Wu asked in a deep voice, trying to control himself, “Please, brother, be rational, don’t be so vulgar, it’s embarrassing.”

Brother: “Wuwu, I’m sorry, General Xuelang is too beautiful, I can’t control myself!”

The next second, General Xuelang directly transformed into wolf form. Indeed, old ginger is still spicier; this move worked, but why does it somehow feel exciting to me…

Oh gosh!

Wang Wu felt like he was going crazy. He didn’t want to be so vulgar; he’s human, at least at his core.

Faced with a wolf, you can—brothers, we can’t, at least we shouldn’t!

General Xuelang was silent, and the next second it transformed back to human form. Maybe it thought turning into a wolf made Wang Wu—the Bear Demon—even more excited.

But sorry, don’t do this to me, you’re flirting with me.

In the next second, its face indeed turned red, its gaze towards Wang Wu practically devouring him.

“Get out!”

“Sorry, I can’t do that, and I don’t want to. Also, please don’t turn back into human form, being a wolf might be better.”

“You wish!”

“Damn!”

Wang Wu was speechless, you’re ruthless. In human form, my brother can’t take it anymore.

“Why not turn uglier?”

General Xuelang remained silent, seemingly seeing through his essence.

Wang Wu felt ashamed; his essence isn’t like this, he’s simple, but now he’s become vulgar, filthy, despicable—oh, it’s delightful.

Besides,

Since I’m already here, I’ll just…

Wang Wu’s expression suddenly changed, holding General Xuelang as he burrowed underground, and at the same time the Companion Demon Vine quickly restored the area, silently following.

Just a few seconds later, a faint wave swept over and then vanished.

But this time Wang Wu could truly confirm, Wolf Bu’er was using Wolf Gaze Divine Techniques, but it was still a bit short compared to its mother, General Xuelang.

Half a day later, Wang Wu returned to the ground holding General Xuelang. By this time, he had also reverted to his human form, feeling slightly awkward.

General Xuelang, however, calmly tidied up his torn clothing, and for a moment, both of them fell silent.

“Do you believe me now?”

After a long while, General Xuelang spoke lightly, with a face as cold as frost, still giving off an aura of distance, unless one noticed the barely discernible blush.

“I can only trust you thirty percent.”

“I understand, the kind of things you Xiong Family people are taught by your twisted Snake Guard!” General Xuelang seemed to be mocking, while intentionally or unintentionally glancing at a certain defiant part of Wang Wu.

Then he sighed, and said solemnly:

“Xiong Wu, the cultivation of the Demon Race is fundamentally different from that of the Human Race.”

“Before gaining intelligence, our demons are just beasts, acting solely on instinct; when hungry, we eat; when thirsty, we drink; during mating season, we naturally reproduce.”

“But after gaining intelligence and embarking on the path of cultivation, the further we go, the more we understand the importance of restraint.”

“Do not think that Human Race cultivators pursue the way of ’all things natural’ because from birth, everything they see, think, and learn gradually forms mountains of rules in their minds. To break through preconceived notions, they pursue ’all things natural,’ but they can’t afford to be too rigid.”

“We demons cannot mimic the Human Race; therefore, we need to adhere to rules meticulously, without being overly flexible. Do you understand what I mean?”

“The Human Race practices acquired cultivation, drawing power from the natural world, allowing them more freedom. Coupled with their inherent biases, the pursuit of ’all things natural’ complements them well.”

“However, the Demon Race relies on innate bloodlines, drawing power from them. If you let lust blind you, indulging in wanton pleasures, do you think your bloodline power, no matter how abundant, can last?”

“Unless you think you’ll never have the chance to break through to the third grade, in which case you can indulge as you please! But look at the entire Demon Race including the Sea Race, how many above the third grade truly revel in debauchery night after night?”

“On the contrary, Human Race cultivators are the ones who love using methods like dual cultivation and Hehuan techniques. In this aspect, no one is nobler or filthier than the other. Moreover, reproduction is fundamental; there is no superiority or inferiority, only advantages and disadvantages.”

“Xiong Wu, I think something is off with you. Have you encountered a disciple of the Hehuan Sect? You’ve already proven yourself a true descendant of the Bear Demon Emperor’s bloodline, with talent above mine. You have the potential to become the Great Wilderness Demon Emperor. Why do you indulge yourself so?”

General Xuelang’s words made Wang Wu ponder deeply, as the theories presented were indeed novel.

The Human Race cultivators can pursue ’all things natural.’

But demons must adhere to rules?

This is quite irritating!

Wait, that’s not right.

Wang Wu suddenly realized, it was his Human Race core causing mischief. Originally being human, from a human’s perspective, more beauties and shared pleasures are the ideal.

But from the perspective of a true demon, and not those eliminated ones unfit for cultivation, but those with high aptitude, it would seem that all mother demons, including women, are poison to the body, tempting him to squander his hard-earned vitality…

However, this couldn’t be explained to General Xuelang, nor could it be acknowledged.

Because he possessed human thoughts, human understanding.

Primarily, he was indeed striving for acquired cultivation, ensuring he could make full use of his strengths without restrictions.

“Ahem!”

Wang Wu tugged at his clothes, changing the topic, “I sensed Wolf Bu’er releasing his Wolf Gaze Divine Techniques earlier. What was he doing? And though he’s become a Spirit Beast, even if you rescue him, he will still be lost in illusion.”

“I don’t know. For the past decade, I’ve actually been on the run. Despite being a third-grade great demon, I can barely survive here in the Human Race Territory. Nearly captured a dozen times, only narrowly escaping thanks to my Snow Wolf Race talents. Worse, it seems my daughter may have exposed all my secrets.”

General Xuelang sighed, “In truth, I am at the end of my tether; the Human Race’s pursuit is gradually closing in. I feel like I’m being toyed with like a cat and mouse, terribly so. I’ve tried every tactic I could think of, using past experiences, but each time I was discovered, forced into combat, and then had to flee. I feel like I’ve become a mere plaything.”

The more it spoke, the more alarmed it seemed.

Wang Wu looked at it, contemplating a possibility, “Do you know who took your daughter as a Lifebound Spirit Beast?”

“I don’t know. Over the past ten years, hiding from place to place, sustained only by the belief that I must save my daughter, I couldn’t have lasted this long otherwise.”

Wang Wu nodded, thinking of that lazy man, realizing this was a deliberate act of wearing down, intending to exhaust General Xuelang’s spirit, to crush it at the critical moment and take both it and Wolf Bu’er as his Lifebound Spirit Beasts.

Impressive!

Yes, very impressive!

From a Human Race perspective, Wang Wu had to admit, my brother, you are a model for our kind.

But as it stands now, it’s not up to you.

Wang Wu said nothing further but swiftly took out ten Eighth-Grade Ginseng Vitality Pills and ten Eighth-Grade Spiritual Qi Practice Pills, handing them to General Xuelang. What it needed most now was to restore its primordial qi and vitality.

Though after transforming into human form, it merely appeared somewhat haggard, this didn’t reflect its physical status. Rather, once reverted to wolf form, the extent of its plight became evident.
