Demon King's Bather

Except for Ye Shuanghua who was secretly delighted by the mastery of the monsters in the Great Barren Mountain, all the other sects complained of headaches.

That's right, compared with monsters, mortals value love and righteousness more. Of course, this love and righteousness are for their relatives and friends, or at least gay friends, but with such a little affection, there is absolutely no way To support them, especially some sects with many factions, their wallets are dry in order to redeem a disciple who was captured by a monster.

Therefore, except for a very small number of kidnapped disciples who had to be redeemed due to their importance, most of them were hesitant, and everyone was very hesitant for a while, and even their favorite hunting in previous years was no longer interested.

Besides them, those casual cultivators were also hesitating, and some even immediately decided to withdraw from this year's hunting.

There is no other reason, if someone from a sect is arrested, even if he bargains, someone will redeem him anyway, but what about them?There is no family or sect, not even a body collector. In previous years, you would fight to the death, and it would be fun no matter whether you win or lose, but what about this year?If he was caught by those monsters, what would happen if no one ransom him?

Ordinary people are not good at this point, they like to think too much about things, conspiracy theories, thinking of the miserable appearance of those monster cubs that fell into the mortal world when they were domesticated, these casual cultivators couldn't help but feel a chill from the end The vertebrae go straight to the skull, in that case, life is really worse than death...

For ordinary people, "ghosts" are more terrifying than "seeing ghosts". Because they can't see or touch, they vilify evil spirits ten thousand times in their imagination, and they can all crawl out of toilets, computers, and walls. Harmful, in terms of persecution paranoia, human beings are definitely the pinnacle of everything!

Frightened by the scene in his imagination, more and more casual practitioners quit this year's hunting.

The family members of the hostages waiting for the ransom exchange are gradually arriving.

When Ye Lanyi's mother heard that her daughter was taken away by a monster, her sickly body immediately collapsed. She settled down with her wife, and Ye Jilan, the patriarch of the Xuantian Sect, took people with her to escort the kidnappers' requested property, etc. Came to the Great Barren Mountain.

Of course, unlike his wife, when he saw the blackmail letter, he knew that his daughter would be fine. Not only that, those kidnappers would take good care of Lan Yi.

Just as the saying goes, a person becomes a master when he is old, just seeing the handwriting on the blackmail letter, he was sure that there should be a military advisor behind those monsters, and this military advisor was not interested in hurting people but asking for money. There is no murderous look, but a sense of gentleness and elegance. A few other characters reveal that the writer is not very knowledgeable and clumsy, and there is also a trace of nervousness and uncertainty as a kidnapper for the first time. If it weren't for this group of people Ye Jilan almost wanted to laugh at the words of kidnapping his precious daughter.

Of course, he still couldn't laugh until his daughter came back safely.

"Master, shall I go with you? I am also responsible for the kidnapping of my junior sister. I did not take good care of her." Ye Shuanghua lowered his head with a guilty expression on his face.

"This matter has nothing to do with you. Those monsters have plans for a long time ago. If they are mentally calculating or not, you are hard to guard against." Ye Jilan gave him a reassuring look.

As for the disciples who "protected the Lord and died in the line of duty", neither the master nor the apprentice mentioned it again, as if those few people were really just eaten by monsters.

Of course, those corpses had indeed disappeared. As for how they disappeared, only Ye Shuanghua himself knew.

Because he was responsible for negotiating and determining the exact amount of the ransom, Yu Chunlai, as the best demon in the entire Great Barren Mountain, had to go back to the cave where he lived, and together with His Royal Highness the Demon King, received representatives from various sects who came to redeem people.

The first ones to come were naturally Ye Jilan and the others.

Xuantianzong is worthy of being the world's largest sect of self-cultivation. Before you get close, the high-end custom-made robes blind the dog eyes of the bumpkins in Dahuangshan. Look at what you are wearing, hand-stitched by Yu Chunlai An improved version of the trousers T-shirt, tsk tsk!

how to say?It's like a group of senior executives from Fortune [-] companies collectively going to the grassroots to experience life.

However, in Dahuangshan, the temper of the "basic people" is not very good.

Probably this year, because of the new "captives for gold and silver" policy, so when everyone meets each other, it's not like fighting cocks, right?

Thinking of this episode, Ye Jilan couldn't help feeling short of breath.

Obviously, the "military adviser" who suddenly appeared from the monster clan this time is indeed a character not to be trifled with, especially knowing the disadvantages of mortals and monsters.For monsters, especially those wild little monsters, even if they were caught, no one would come to redeem them.

But what about ordinary people?

As long as there is a sect and a family, and the children of the family come out to practice, and are captured by monsters and held for ransom, do you dare to ransom them?

It will make you famous on the street in minutes!

Ye Jilan was very sure that if these captured hostages dared not come to redeem them, the military adviser would not tear up their votes immediately, but would send people down the mountain to spread rumors everywhere, forcing their relatives to be forced by public opinion. Coming to redeem people, not only that, but the price may be raised at that time... This kind of thing, if you think about it, you will know, if it is him, he will do the same!

and many more!

What about the monster beast strategist with deep thoughts and insidious means?

Could it be the half-demon in front of him?

Ye Jilan was welcomed into the door, and beside the familiar demon king Ye Zhan, there was a boy who looked about [-] years old. The blood of the monster on his body was not pure, he was a half-demon, and he looked good, but , is this really the same model as the sinister and cunning military division he imagined?

Soon, Ye Jilan knew that this little thing was really a chicken thief!

Ten thousand taels of gold and a storage bag are easy to talk about. The two hilltops with water sources and forests requested in the ransom can only be said to be a drop in the bucket given Xuantianzong's wealth.

However, what Ye Jilan never expected was that the bad guy Yu Chunlai actually asked to make a note on the contract for the transfer of the hills, stating that since the hills used to redeem people belonged to the territory of the Yaozu, they must also abide by it. The agreement to open the mountain gate once every three years, that is to say, once these mountain tops are given to the monster clan, mortal monks will not be able to enter the mountain to hunt at will within the time stipulated in the contract. responsible for casualties.

Yes, this little bastard is indeed that cheating military adviser!

Compared to Ye Jilan's suffocation, Ye Shuanghua's expression has never been normal since the first time he came in and saw Yu Chunlai.

He is like an art candidate who is taking part in pre-examination acting training. The expressions on his face can produce a set of emoticons in minutes, first surprise, then disbelief, then mixed feelings, and then sadness, then The eyes that have experienced vicissitudes of life are fixed on Yu Chunlai, as if they want to suck him into the eyes with a whoosh and run away.

Yu Chunlai's hairs almost stand on end when he sees it!

"Isn't this person sick?" Yu Chunlai muttered, of course he wouldn't narcissistically think that this middle-aged handsome man had taken a fancy to him, and in good conscience, Ye Shuanghua's appearance is not bad even in the realm of comprehension Otherwise, Yu Lianhua, the Fairy of Yaochi back then, would not have refused to go back to the Immortal Realm because of him.

It's a pity that Yu Chunlai is a patient with emotional deficiency, or it may be due to congenital deficiencies. He was cut out before he developed well. He lacks an emotional line in his brain. When others pay too much attention to him, he usually only has two reactions: First, this person wants to make friends with himself; second, this person wants to retaliate against himself.

Cough cough, besides the lack of emotion, Yu Chunlai, the snake spirit, seems to be suffering from mild persecution paranoia.

Although he was not very willing, Ye Jilan, who was eager to rescue his precious daughter from the monster, finally agreed to Yu Chunlai's request, and the two parties signed a blood contract on the spot, exchanging ransom and hostages.

Ye Lanyi was still in a coma.

Ahem, in order to prevent the hostages from struggling or escaping in a conscious state, mainly to prevent the hostages from being accidentally killed by thick-skinned monsters during the escape process, Yu Chunlai took over one hostage and force-fed each of them. A bowl of soup made from gray grass. The biggest advantage of this soup is that it has no after-effects, and you can wake up quickly after being stimulated with cold water.

"Please don't worry, in order to get the full amount of ransom, we will definitely protect the hostages with all our heart, and we won't harm the hostages even a single hair in our custody!" Yu Chunlai seriously explained to Ye Jilan, "Please go back and promote it for us , our monsters in the Great Barren Mountain will never harm hostages, but you also know that monsters also have to eat, so..."

"so?"

"So we just talked about it. Starting today, we will send out a second ransom letter. Starting tomorrow, we will postpone it by one day to exchange the ransom, and we will need to add an additional 100 taels of food and protection money."

"Food expenses?"

"Ahem! If you stay in a coma for a long time without eating, the hostage's health will also be damaged. We are all humanized monsters. For the health of the hostage, after three days of coma, we must wake up once a day to feed water and food. Now, this is a very dangerous job, I think everyone knows it, so I can't let them risk their work for nothing!" Yu Chunlai patiently explained.

"Because you are the first batch to redeem people, so we won't charge late fees this time. It's the first order discount, so take care of our business next time~" Yu Chunlai stretched out his hand with a smile, ready to see off the guests.

During the whole process, His Highness the Demon King kept a straight face and pretended to be serious. In fact, he didn't understand the profound meaning of Yu Chunlai's actions at all.

He didn't understand, but Ye Jilan understood.

This is implying to them that Xuantianzong still has several hostages in their hands. Ahem, although they are all disciples of other elders, if they don’t redeem them after the expiration date, the monsters will not harm the hostages, but Is there any difference between starve to death and bite to death?
