I'm the villain in the book

Qing Xian was taken aback by such an unexpected answer.

But she quickly shook her head and asked again: "Since it doesn't matter, why did the king help you?"

"Of course not the white gang."

Wei Changtian leaned forward slightly: "Master Demon King, I know that each of these three items is very important."

"So the price I can pay for this is naturally not ordinary."

"Hehe, I can't think of anything you can have that is equivalent to these three."

With a chuckle, Qingxian obviously scoffed at Wei Changtian's statement.

Indeed, judging from the value of these three conditions alone, I am afraid that if the entire Shu Prefecture is given to Qing Xian, the latter may not necessarily agree.

What's more, it is impossible for Wei Changtian to send Shuzhou out.

but......

"Master Demon King."

There was a hint of a smile on his face, but Wei Changtian's expression didn't change much.

He just looked at Qingxian, and then slowly said sentence by sentence:

"I have never understood why the monster race always loves to run into the human city, knowing that their lives are in danger."

"But I've understood since I met Liu Shi."

"It turns out that demons are just like people, and they also want to experience all kinds of things in this world."

"It's a pity that people and demons are not of the same kind after all, so most people still can't tolerate demons living beside them... In our words, this is called the side of the couch, how can we allow others to snore and sleep."

"But I'm different. I always feel that there is no difference between a human and a demon."

"Also, I can make hundreds of millions of people in Shuzhou think the same as me."

"so......"

After a pause, Wei Changtian smiled and gently completed the conditions he offered under Qing Xian's shocked gaze.

"Master Demon King, if you help me save Shuzhou."

"In the future, Shuzhou will be the first place in the world where humans and monsters can coexist peacefully."

"I can even help you build a new city in the territory of Shuzhou, a new city that doesn't have to be frightened, but still has all kinds of things in this world."

"how?"

Chapter 387 That's it

The first land where humans and demons can coexist peacefully...

A new city full of monsters...

There was no movement in the quiet room for a long time, only the flickering candlelight illuminated the faces of the two of them.

His eyes were filled with incomparably complicated emotions, and his face, which was as holy and pure as a fairy, was filled with shock.

Undoubtedly, Wei Changtian's conditions were something that Qing Xian had never thought of before.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

This is the principle that human beings have always adhered to for tens of thousands of years, and it is also a bottom line that no one has ever dared to cross.

Yes.

Maybe there are many people in this world who also don't agree with the concept of "the same must be punished", and they will even get along with the monster day and night, becoming partners, friends, relatives...

However, no one has ever dared to speak out their thoughts...even an emperor like Li Qi, or a second-rank master like Wu Tianqing.

Because they know it will cost them everything they have.

People under heaven will not accept their point of view.

Even if it does, it will take a long, long time.

Before that, they will become the target of public criticism and the enemy of ten thousand people.

and so.

If you think about it from this angle, Wei Changtian's current behavior looks more like... betraying the entire human race.

Provided that what he said is true...

"Young Master Wei..."

After an unknown amount of time, Qingxian finally took a deep breath and asked a question in a deep voice.

"How does this king trust you? Believe that you will not go back on your word?"

"..."

Contrary to Qing Xian's performance, Wei Changtian was slightly relieved when he heard this question.

Asking this way, it means that this condition is enough to make Qingxian's heart flutter.

As for how to prove that I am not just talking...

"Master Demon King."

"Ten days at the latest, a thousand miles south of Shuzhou City, you will see a new city break through the ground."

"In less than half a year, this city will be completed."

"Of course, if Shuzhou is no longer in my hands at that time, it will be a different matter."

"..."

After ten days, the city will be broken and built, and a new city will be built in half a year.

Wei Changtian's statement is not completely whimsical, after all, the speed of "infrastructure" in the cultivation world is far from what the previous life and ancient times could compare.

And the promise of "starting construction in ten days" is obviously a sign of sincerity.

However, this still couldn't make Qing Xian make up his mind.

800 years since birth, 300 years since ascending to the position of Demon King.

This is probably the most difficult choice she has faced in these long years.

Because this choice is not just about her alone.

It will undoubtedly affect, even rewrite the fate of the entire Yaozu.

What should we do?

Slowly lowering her head, Qingxian fell into long thoughts in the moonlight that has not changed for thousands of years.

"..."

"啾啾~啾啾~"

The autumn wind is quiet, and the night birds sing slightly.

Time passed in silence, and the bright moon slowly moved from the front of Weiyang Palace to the night sky above the quiet room.

Just when the last corner of the crescent moon outside the window was covered by the window sill and disappeared from sight, a calm voice finally sounded again.

"Master Demon King, I know this is a difficult choice."

"It's the same for me, actually."

"You don't have to worry about me going back on my word at all, because the moment the monster from the Hundred Thousand Mountains appears on the battlefield, it is destined that you and I are already on the same boat."

"And if this boat capsizes, I'll be in a much harder place than you."

"At worst, you can take the Yaozu back to the Hundred Thousand Mountains, but I have no way to retreat, and I will only be completely reduced to a human traitor who everyone can kill..."

"Then why do you still do it?"

Qingxian suddenly raised her head and interrupted Wei Changtian's words: "Why do you risk the world's shame by doing something that is destined to be cast aside by everyone?"

"Because this is the only way I can think of to keep Shuzhou."

Smiling, Wei Changtian's expression remained unchanged: "As for being spurned... I've long been used to being scolded, so it doesn't matter anymore."

"What's more, it is guaranteed that after thousands of years, people in future generations will erect a monument for me because of it."

"monument......"

Qingxian was taken aback for a moment, as if she understood Wei Changtian's meaning.

If humans and demons can really coexist peacefully from now on, then future generations may re-examine what Wei Changtian is doing today, and give them two "putting things right".

It's just that all this is too far away after all, at least when Wei Changtian is alive, he won't be able to see it.

So in Qingxian's view, Wei Changtian's motive is actually only one...

"Shuzhou, is it really so important..."

He muttered something to himself, and his embroidered eyebrows were slightly raised.

Qingxian's current appearance is enough to make all men willingly answer all her questions, but Wei Changtian didn't answer any more.

He just paused for a moment, then slowly stood up.

"Master Demon King, I have said everything that needs to be said."

"I know you haven't made up your mind yet, and I can wait a few more days."

"However, the imperial army will move out of Shu Prefecture in the near future, so I hope you make a decision as soon as possible."

"The Yaozu have spent too many years wasted in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, they should come out and have a look."

"That's all..."

After saying the last sentence, and taking another deep look at the motionless Qingxian, Wei Changtian turned around and prepared to leave.

But just when he was about to push open the wooden door of the quiet room, Qing Xian suddenly called out to stop him.

"Young Master Wei, there is no need to wait any longer."

"Everything is as you said...you and I make a deal."

......

......

Walking out of the quiet room, Yang Liushi, who had been guarding outside the whole time, had already guessed the result of this negotiation from Wei Changtian's expression.

The tense mood relaxed a little, she hurried forward and asked in a low voice: "My lord, has the matter been settled?"

"Ah."

Nodding his head, Wei Changtian took the lantern from Yang Liushi and asked with a smile, "Where's Chu Xianping?"

"Master Chu is waiting outside."

Yang Liushi felt distressed on her face: "It's so late, do you want to go somewhere else?"

"Yes, I have to see someone again."

Wei Changtian walked out of the mansion while persuading him in a low voice: "Okay, I can go out by myself, you can go and rest, you will be busy for a while."

"okay."

Yang Liushi didn't ask what she was busy with, and she didn't insist on sending Wei Changtian out.

She just whispered "then you slow down" and then stopped, standing still and watching Wei Changtian slowly walk out of the house.

Perhaps, she has already guessed what Wei Changtian's conditions are for Qingxian.

"This Shuzhou...is it really so important?"

The same question as Qing Xian came to Yang Liushi's mind, and after a quarter of an hour it turned into a real question, which was asked again through Chu Xianping's mouth.

"My lord, why do you value Shuzhou so much?"

On the galloping carriage, Chu Xianping, who had just heard Wei Changtian finish the transaction, frowned.

Indeed, with the help of the monster race, the chances of defeating the imperial army will undoubtedly increase a lot.

But the price behind this is too great.

Building a new city and the like are trivial matters, the most important thing is that Wei Changtian or Ning Yuke will inevitably become the "sinner" that everyone refers to.
