Poor girl is hated by everyone, villains drive her crazy

There are four regions and four cities in the Demon Realm. The geographical environments of the four regions are extreme and different. For example, Mu Lezhi lives in the Flame Region.

The Four Cities are where most demons live, divided into the east, south, west and north cities.

Zhong Xian followed Ji Zhi down the mountain and soon discovered a group of demons gathering and living on a road outside the north city.

It was the first time that Yu Xi got close to ordinary residents of the Demon Realm after coming to the Demon Realm, and there was a bit more curiosity in his eyes.

What caught my eye were several snake demons transformed into human forms, wearing brightly coloured clothes, and it was difficult to tell whether they were male or female. They were huddled together and talking gigglingly.

Several human demon cultivators stood near them, also whispering something, but their voices were much quieter and their expressions were somewhat serious.

In addition, there are some small monsters that are transforming into their original forms to make fire, dissecting ferocious beasts, and releasing the things that can be sold separately.

The demon clan is different from the immortal clan. As long as one practices magic, anyone of any race can enter the demon world.

As soon as Ji Zhi saw them, he immediately rooted to the ground and pointed at the beast lying among the crowd, saying, "It's my wild boar!"

Hearing this, Zhong Xian knew he had found the person.

When Zhong Xian appeared, the snake demons who were laughing had not yet reacted and thought he was an ordinary demon cultivator.

However, a rat demon who was chopping off the horns of an animal froze in his tracks. His gaze lingered on the side of Zhong Xian's closed eyes. He confirmed the spell several times, then suddenly pounced over with his fur standing on end and lay flat on his face, saying:

"Greetings, Young Master!"

As soon as he spoke, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to him, and they realized that it was Zhong Xian who came.

Why did Zhong Xian come?

He hasn't appeared in the Demon City for decades!

Zhong Xian then glanced at them, then looked at where they were camping. His tone was gentle and calm, without any anger in his voice:

"If I remember correctly, the road must not be occupied by foreign objects. It was a rule I made, right?"

The demons kneeling on the ground shuddered in unison. Even though Zhong Xian did not scold them, they could still feel the invisible blade hanging around their necks. No one dared to make a sound, not even to look up at Zhong Xian.

A new demon cultivator in the demon world couldn't hold on any longer. He stole a glance at Zhong Xian and saw that Zhong Xian didn't seem angry. Then he plucked up the courage to say:

"Young Master, we will immediately——"

Who would have thought that before he could finish his words, his head was separated from his body, blood gushed out, instantly dyeing the person kneeling in front of him red.

"If you know you are wrong and still dare to argue, your crime is even more serious."

The air suddenly became so quiet that even the sound of breathing could not be heard.

Zhong Xian didn't even look at the demons whose heads and bodies were separated. He just turned his head to look at Ji Zhi: "Which ones deceived you? Or all of them?"

Upon hearing this, several snake demons that were huddled together began to tremble.

[It's over, it's over, what's going on? Zhong Xian never cares about these things, why is he suddenly caring about them? ]

[Jizhi is the same. He was fine before, why did he dare to complain this time? ]

[Hasn't the relationship between the young masters always been bad? Why is Zhong Xian suddenly meddling in other people's affairs? ]

Yu Xi listened to the inner voice, leaned over to look, and immediately knew who had deceived Ji Zhi.

Just as I was waiting for Ji Zhi to speak, Ji Zhi thought for a long time in distress, and then said, "I forgot that these snake demons all look exactly the same."

Snake demons all look androgynous and have some similarities in their facial features, but they are never exactly the same.

It would be no problem for an ordinary person to recognize him, but asking Jizhi to recognize the person was extremely difficult.

Zhong Xian: “…”

He glanced at Ji Zhi with disdain, then looked at everyone again and asked, "Who among you took the lead in deceiving Ji Zhi?"

Seeing that Ji Zhi didn't recognize them, the snake demons were overjoyed. They looked at each other secretly and quickly pushed out the thinnest snake demon and said:

"Young Master, it must be him. He deceived the Second Young Master. He also lied to us and said that the beast was given to him by the Second Young Master. We really don't know anything!"

The snake demon that was pushed out trembled but dared not say a word of explanation.

[It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me, I’m going to die, I’m definitely going to die…]

Yu Xi saw that the person pushed out was just a scapegoat, so he leaned close to Zhong Xian's ear and told him, "Brother, this person should not be the one who deceived Second Brother."

Zhong Xian looked at her in surprise, his willow-leaf eyes that were always narrowed slightly curved, and he laughed happily, "I know, Xiao Xi'er is very smart."

This time he smiled sincerely, and even his next words were full of smiles:

"I didn't say it was about the ferocious beast. How did you know about it?"

The snake demon who had just spoken shook his body.

Zhong Xian looked at the snake demon that was pushed out and said, "Tell me, who is committing the crime? As long as you tell the truth, I will not pursue your fault. But if you dare to tell a lie..."

The little snake demon didn't expect that he could still save his life, so he quickly confessed everything about the snake demon that deceived Jizhi.

The snake demons that were betrayed didn't even have a chance to defend themselves before they were all crushed into meat paste by Zhong Xian's ghost energy.

There was a bloody smell in the air, and occasionally one could hear the sobs of the extremely terrified demons.

In fact, it is not Zhong Xian's job to punish criminals, but since the demons dare to commit crimes, terror and intimidation is the simplest and most convenient way.

"You will have to pay back whatever money Ji Zhi owes you. Remember, no matter how poor he is, he is still the second young master of the demon world."

Zhong Xian pushed Jizhi out to get the money, and his eyes fell on the roadblock blocking the way.

If I remember correctly, this road is an important route for transporting food. How can Beicheng just let it be blocked?

Something must have gone wrong.

……never mind.

What does it have to do with him? It is enough for him to provide the demons with an environment where they can get shelter. There is no need for him to do anything more.

This time he didn't need to say anything. The demons immediately collected money and cleared the road, as if they were afraid that they would have nothing to do.

Zhong Xian finally came back to his senses and praised Xi:

"Small groups always have conflicts of interest. The first person to be pushed out to take the blame is often not the leader, but the most transparent one. However, Xiao Xi'er can think of this at such a young age. She is indeed very smart!"

Yu Xi felt guilty and didn't dare to say that she could read minds.

However, she still carefully remembered what Zhong Xian said.

At the same time, the demons obediently removed the obstacles blocking the road and even moved their tents to the side of the road.

[I won’t be able to make any money now… I’ll block it again after Zhong Xian leaves.]

[But what if Zhong Xian comes again? ]

[It’s all because of these snake demons who always bully Jizhi. Now we are starving too! ]

Hearing the worried voices of the demons, Yu Xi pricked up his ears, and saw that the little snake demon who was pushed out to take the blame was being ostracized and had nothing to do. He was trembling in the same place helplessly. He jumped down and ran over, and asked the little snake demon softly:

"Why are you blocking the road?"

The little snake demon was startled when he saw that Yu Xi was a stranger. Then he saw that Yu Xi was held by Zhong Xian before, and he was not sure of Yu Xi's identity for a moment.

But Yu Xi and Zhong Xian were close, so the little snake demon did not dare to neglect him and only said weakly:

"This way you can earn tolls, and many people do this."
