The whole world thinks I'm inscrutable

This is a butterfly demon.

If it becomes a prototype in the human world, Ke Shaoan believes that it must be a goddess of light butterfly, also known as the blue Danube butterfly, which is the most beautiful butterfly in the world.

Ke Shaoan once went to a butterfly exhibition by chance. At that time, the main purpose was to get close to a target person, so he failed to carefully observe the species and appearance of butterflies.

Only this glimpse of the "world's most beautiful" rare ornamental butterfly left a deep impression on Ke Shao'an's mind.

And the monster in front of him is obviously more dazzling than the little butterfly dancing in the glass display case.

The two pairs of wings with a strong sense of existence behind them swayed slightly, and the wings were generally blue, like a string of bright halos inlaid in the blue sky, or like white waves surging in the blue sea.More beautiful than jewelry, more dreamy than starry sky.It radiates sapphire blue light, dazzling and charming.

And carrying the pair of wings is a graceful woman.Slender, tall, with light blue hair with faint stars shining, a pair of hammer-shaped tentacles on the head, pure black eyes, and a layer of bright scales on both sides of the face, the overall appearance can be seen at a glance By no means human.

pity……

Compared with this noble and eye-catching body, the dish demon's shabby and shabby clothes really formed a regrettable contrast with her.It seems that because he is used to living in the wild, his temperament is a bit rough, without much intellectual breath.

If you put on a pure white robe, and then wear exquisite gem decorations, organize your elegant appearance.

It will definitely amaze most of the human beings in the world.

There is no distinction between men and women.

Ke Shaochen looked down at the butterfly demon from a high position, blocked Wuyouhua with his body, looked at her quietly, and observed her actions and expressions.

Butterfly Demon seemed a little anxious.

Her expression was a little timid, as if she was not very good at dealing with outside creatures, or she had encountered too many obstacles and had formed a conditioned shrinking.

Although Ke Shao'an is bold and confident, even if he meets a monster for the first time, he can retreat unscathed, but he still inevitably raises his vigilance and closely observes the opponent's every move.

——This is the demon world, a place familiar to monsters. Every plant, tree, flower, and tree here is unfamiliar to Ke Shao’an. In case of any unexpected accident, Ke Shao’an will not be capsized in the gutter , is it extremely unlucky?

Butterfly Demon is also observing Ke Shaochen.

Her voice is very soft and pleasant, like a clear spring flowing, but also faintly affectionate: "Are you human...?"

Ke Shaoan glanced at the hand on the handle of the knife. Apart from the face, the skin of this hand was exposed, which could make people see something wrong.

He didn't say yes or no, he just said, "What's the matter with you?"

Butterfly Demon's tone was a little anxious, pleading with a trace.

"I want that worry-free flower... If it's not urgent, can you give it to me? I've been guarding it for three months, and it's about to mature." The butterfly demon flapped its wings uneasily, lowered its head and begged : "My grandpa, he is dying, only this can save him... Please, please..."

"..."

Ke Shaochen didn't quite understand the reason why this monster was so humble.

Could it be that he smelled the scent of a big monster from Yin Sijin on him?

But just now, didn't the other party reveal Ke Shaochen's identity as a "human being" in one word?

That was something that many monsters in the company couldn't see through. How could the other party understand it at a glance?

Could it be that he was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger in an attempt to deliberately show weakness so that he could relax his vigilance?

Ke Shao said angrily, "Why should I give it to you?"

Butterfly Yao became anxious when she heard that, she didn't say anything about "first come, first served" or "it's ours to grow up in our territory", but she just knelt down on her knees and begged: "Please, my lord, this is my grandfather who survived!" The only hope for..."

"..."

Ke Shaochen was a little helpless.

"How much do you want?"

The butterfly demon raised her head in surprise, and quickly said, "All you need is its nectar and three petals!"

Ke Shaochen: "Three petals can be given to you, but I must leave part of the nectar."

The butterfly demon was grateful: "Of course, of course, thank you sir!"

Ke Shao'an didn't quite understand why the other party put on such a humble posture, stepped aside a few steps, revealed the flower that the other party had kept for several months, and said, "In your opinion, when will it fully mature."

The butterfly demon took two steps forward, observed the leaves that were about to fall, and said: "If there is no accident, it will be midnight tonight."

Ke Shaochen: "You still come out in the middle of the night?"

The vast majority of butterflies only come out during the day and evening when the sun is obliquely shining.At night, it will completely go into a dormant state.

Butterfly Yao looked at Ke Shao'an in fear, as if he didn't expect Ke Shao'an to know their racial habits clearly, and said: "For grandpa...of course."

Ke Shaochen didn't say anything more.

As a result, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and the butterfly demon didn't dare to get too close to Ke Shao'an, but stood cautiously beside Ke Shao'an and waited.

But Ke Shaochen took the initiative to ask.

"You live in a nearby tribe?"

Butterfly Demon nodded quickly: "Yes."

Ke Shaochen: "How did you see my human identity?"

Butterfly Demon: "My lord's scent camouflage is naturally perfect, but our family has always had eyes that can see through the truth, so..."

She cautiously glanced at the position of the back of Ke Shao'an's left hand, and suddenly there was a burst of panic in her eyes, and she quickly withdrew her gaze like a lick of fire.

This is an existence that must not be provoked. The strength on the back of her hand is enough to easily destroy her village, so she must not be easily offended.

Do all human beings have such a powerful force?Fortunately, not long ago...

Ke Shaochen asked, interrupting the butterfly demon's thinking.

"You recognized my human identity at a glance. Could it be that you have seen human beings before?"

It's like when a normal human being sees a monster standing in front of him, he will first doubt whether he is wrong, and then guess whether the other party is wearing makeup. It is impossible to be sure that this person is a legendary monster.

How did the Butterfly Demon easily reveal his specific identity and confirm that he is the "legendary" human?

Unless, she had seen someone like Ke Shao'an before.

Where did you see it?

In all likelihood, it was the dozen or so people who were missing.

Butterfly Demon replied: "I have heard of it before, my lord."

Ke Shaochen: "Who did you listen to?"

"My people."

Ke Shaoan raised his attention and asked carefully: "Where did you see it? How are they doing now?"

Butterfly demon said: "I didn't ask in detail. Originally, our butterfly demon clan has deep grievances with human beings."

Ke Shao raised his eyebrows angrily: "Grudges?"

Butterfly Demon said: "Aren't you from the world, my lord?"

Ke Shao'an didn't know where he had leaked, or he had inevitably leaked since the time he was recognized as a human being, so he simply admitted it openly: "That's right."

"This is actually a well-known thing in the demon world." Butterfly Yao said: "Thousands of years ago, our family offended the current king because of a human reason. One of the Great Monster Clan has been reduced to the situation it is today."

"A human being?" Ke Shaochen asked curiously, "Thousands of years ago, the demon world had already communicated with the human world?"

If this is the case, the history of the world should never be like it is now, without mentioning anything about the demon world.The monsters are not so unfamiliar with the human world, as if they just came into contact with it, they don't know anything.

Butterfly Demon said: "This is how the ancestors in the clan have been passed down. But in fact, I have never witnessed the existence of human beings, and I have never heard of the fact that they live in the demon world. It's just what the elders said, so we That's how it sounds. Whether it's true or not, I'm not sure. Until not long ago, I thought that human beings were just creatures made up by youkai, and they didn't actually exist."

Ke Shaochen thought to himself, could this have the same meaning as all kinds of monster legends in the world.

I've heard of it, but I'm not sure, I just think it's a saying passed down from my ancestors, and I can't know whether it's true or not.Because there is no basis, it is mistaken for a story, a fabricated creature.

Ke Shao said angrily: "The 'grievance' you mentioned just now is because of that incident thousands of years ago?"

"That's right." The Butterfly Demon nodded and said, "The tribesmen discovered the existence of human beings and wanted to bring them back. They asked me if I could do it. I was worried that I would repeat the mistakes of the past and anger the king again. So restrict the actions of the tribe, and dare not let them approach."

"Why did you bring it back?" Ke Shao said angrily, "Catch it back to vent your anger?"

"How dare you." Butterfly Demon shook his head and said, "Dedicate them to the king, hoping to get his tolerance and forgiveness."

"Your king has kept grievances for 1000 years, but you still haven't been able to forgive your ancestors' mistakes?" Ke Shao said angrily, "Could it be that you are thinking too much, in fact, people have long forgotten this matter."

Butterfly Demon couldn't help showing a wry smile: "Of course the king remembers. He imprisoned us here, just waiting for the day when our family will be completely extinct."

She looked at the nearby flowers and plants, and said with a serious tone: "The king restricted our actions and trapped us in this place, so we can't take half a step easily-he has never been able to forget what happened back then."

Ke Shaoan frowned slightly, and said, "Then you are willing to wait here silently to die?"

"Of course I'm not reconciled." Butterfly Yao said: "But what if I'm not reconciled? If I stay, I can continue to exchange for at least a hundred years of peace, but if I go out, I'm doomed to die. What's more, our patriarch, who is also my Grandpa, he is almost..."

After finishing speaking, I couldn't help sobbing softly, feeling so sad that I didn't want to continue talking.

Ke Shaochen thought for a while and said, "If I can take you out—"

The butterfly demon raised his head and glanced at Ke Shaohan, making sure that the look in his eyes was not fake, and said gratefully but regretfully: "Thank you for your kindness, but our family has the curse of the king on us, so we can't leave the territory at will, otherwise we will be killed." Rapidly grow old and die."

"What about going to the human world?" Ke Shao said angrily, "Will you be affected by the curse if you go to the human world?"

Butterfly Demon thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head regretfully: "It's not a question of where to go, but 'can't go anywhere'."

When Ke Shao heard the words, he had no choice: "It seems that you can only find your king to solve this problem."

Butterfly Demon smiled wryly: "That's not easy."

It is just a matter of one sentence to say, but it is more difficult than climbing to the sky in practice.

Thousands of years ago, their clan was so prosperous, but it was because of a word and a decision of the king that it fell to this point.Now that thousands of years have passed, the number of clansmen has shrunk by at least ten thousand times. Regardless of life, old age, sickness or death, they can only be trapped in this land quietly waiting for death for the rest of their lives.

Now there are only more than [-] people left in the family, even if they struggle with all their strength, so what?

I am afraid that even a word could not reach the king's ears, and he died of exhaustion.

Ke Shaoan asked again: "Where are those humans?"

The butterfly demon looked a little hesitant.

Ke Shaochen asked, "Is there something unspeakable?"

Butterfly Demon hesitated for a while, and finally said: "It's not a secret at all, it's okay to tell you - I saw it in the territory of the Crow Clan next door."

Ke Shaochen was surprised and said, "Didn't you say you can't leave...?"

"It is impossible to leave, but the curse after leaving is aging rather than instant death, so in order to protect our homeland, guard the safety of the border, and inquire about the news of the outside world, we can only use our lifespan to exchange information." The butterfly demon said in a low voice: "Since ancient times It has always been that way.”

Ke Shaoan suddenly remembered something, and asked: "You can't go out, can outsiders come in?"

Butterfly Demon: "Of course it is possible."

Ke Shaochen said bluntly, "Isn't that just sitting and waiting to die?"

The butterfly demon looked at Ke Shaochen helplessly, and said frankly, "That's right."

All the races in the demon world hate the Butterfly Clan and wish they would be extinct as soon as possible to please the king, so naturally they will not have any scruples.

Destroy their food, occupy their land, kill their people, trap them in this land and not let them go out.But they can't do anything, they can only stay in this area, barely resist, barely survive, until the day when they can't live anymore.

"It seems that you have a deep hatred with your king because of that human being."

Butterfly Demon smiled bitterly: "Human beings are just a pretext, an introduction. The king wants to rule the entire demon world, and our six races naturally become his obstacles."

Ke Shaochen asked, "Six clans?"

"As far as I know, more than half of the current six major clans have been completely extinct, and the remaining races are all the same as our butterfly clan, just lingering and barely alive." Butterfly Yao said: "The demon world has existed for tens of thousands of years, and there has never been a monster like us. The current king is the same as the demon emperor who dominates the whole world with his own power. He is the strongest and most unshakable existence in the history of our demon world."

Ke Shaochen felt a little strange: "Don't you hate your king very much? Why can't you hear your hatred for your king from your words."

The butterfly demon turned pale with shock, or looked at Ke Shaochen in disbelief, and said, "How dare you!"

Ke Shaochen: "?"

Butterfly Demon: "As a demon clan, how can you have such disrespectful thoughts towards the king!"

Seeing that the butterfly demon said something so solemnly, Ke Shaoan actually had the intention of persuading Ke Shaoan not to do so, and couldn't help being a little puzzled: "But you are trapped here because of the king's curse, and you can't get out for half a step. , don't you blame him, don't you hate your unfair fate?"

The butterfly demon couldn't understand: "He is our king, he wants us to die and we have to die, how can we question the king's decision in turn?"

Not reconciled to returning, but it is absolutely impossible to blame the king.

Ke Shaochen: "..."

After all, they are intelligent creatures living in two different worlds, receiving completely different ideological education. Maybe there is an absolutely irreversible social structure like ants in the world of monsters.

Just like human beings also had emperors and kings in ancient times, so there is a unified centralized power.The emperor would not feel that it was too much for him to control the life and death of his family, and his subjects and people would not question why the king's decision was wrong.This kind of concept is integrated into the bone marrow and even the soul. Ke Shaohan, who has always valued freedom and equality, naturally cannot understand it.

Moreover, for an emperor to stand on the supreme peak for thousands of years, this is not so much an emperor as a "god" who is believed in forever.

The entire monster clan doesn't know how many times it has been updated, but the king has always existed.

Speaking of this, Ke Shao'an suddenly asked: "Is it safe for humans to be in the Crow Clan's territory?"

Butterfly Demon asked strangely: "How can human beings be afraid of mere Crow Clan?"

Ke Shaochen: "..."

In human terms, this sentence should be "how can monsters be afraid of mere humans".Although I don't know that the human beings in the legends of the demon world are superhuman beings with supernatural powers, but we must not talk casually here, and the butterfly demon can see that something is wrong.

Ke Shao said angrily: "In the middle of the night, when you take off Wangyou and send it back to your clan, I will go there with you."

At that time, most of the monsters of the Butterfly Clan fell asleep, as long as they were cautious, there shouldn't be any problems.

He lowered his head and took another look at the paper hidden in his pocket, and was completely relieved to make sure that the content on it had not changed.

Butterfly Demon panicked and said: "You..."

Ke Shaochen: "Is it not possible?"

The butterfly demon looked at Ke Shaoan uneasily, and said, "Why do you want to go to such a messy place like ours..."

Ke Shaochen thought for a while, understood, and said, "You are afraid that you will be attacked by external enemies, so you hid the tribe?"

Butterfly Demon nodded cautiously: "Yes."

No wonder.

Ke Shao said angrily, "Anxin, I just want to go there and see the healing effect of Wangyou with my own eyes, and I don't want to do anything to your people."

He raised his finger and pointed directly to the direction of the Butterfly Tribe on the map, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, your tribe is over there. Even if you don't lead the way, I can find the location by myself."

Butterfly Demon: "..."

Butterfly Demon could only bite her lower lip tightly, and reluctantly said: "I see."

She was afraid that if she rejected Ke Shao'an here, Ke Shao'an would backtrack and refuse to give her the life-saving herb.I am even more afraid that Ke Shao'an will get angry because of this, and really find their residence, wantonly destroy or even torture and massacre to vent his anger.

With a gloomy expression, she found a flat place beside her and sat down. She took out a bouquet of flowers from behind and put it in front of her mouth. She picked up the flower body and drank slowly.

Ke Shaoan observed the appearance of the butterfly demon eating, and suddenly said: "You demon clan, you are not born with this appearance, are you?"

The limbs are distinct, with a head and feet, except for some racial characteristics, it seems to be not much different from humans.

But the butterfly obviously has three pairs of legs, so why did it evolve into a single pair of legs after evolution?It's not so much that it's the way it is now after birth, but it's more like it was transformed into this way by magic.

Butterfly Demon looked at his body and said, "This is our appearance after transformation."

"Transfiguration?"

"It is rumored that the king likes humans, so we transformed them into this shape based on the appearance of humans in the album, hoping to please the king." Butterfly Demon said: "However, humans do not have wings on their backs, so we can only keep them. Otherwise, you won’t even be able to fly.”

The king of the demon world loves humans.

This is very good news.

Ke Shaochen thought to himself.

If you want to communicate with the demon world in the future, you will inevitably have to deal with this king.

It is good that he is not hostile to human beings. If there is hostility, it will inevitably take a lot of effort, and if it goes wrong, it may even lead to a war.

The contradiction between the two worlds is no joke.

Ke Shaoan continued to inquire about the news: "Can you tell me about the situation in your demon world?"

The butterfly demon didn't know if it was because of fear of Ke Shao'an, or because of its simple nature.As long as it is a question that can be answered, she will answer all of them without any precautions. When Ke Shaoan asks one, she will answer one.As for the true and false, Ke Shaoan needs to analyze and interpret them one by one.

"What do you want to know?"

Ke Shaochen: "Has the demon world interacted with the human world?"

Butterfly Demon said with regret: "This level of information is not something we can know, sorry."

Ke Shaotan turned around and said, "What's your king's personality like?"

"The king is naturally high and omnipotent. As for the character..." Butterfly Yao shook his head and said, "How can I know about the king?"

Ke Shaochen asked again: "What is the attitude of other monster races in your demon world towards humans?"

"Probably 'awe is added, don't dare to be disrespectful'." The butterfly demon thought for a while and added: "However, if other human beings are covered with demonic aura like you, you probably won't be able to notice it. They are human beings now. Maybe there are already many human beings in the demon world, but the demon race can't easily distinguish the identity of human beings."

Ke Shaochen: "What are the thirteen lords?"

Butterfly Demon: "Thirteen big monsters selected by our king himself to manage thirteen domains respectively."

Speaking of this, the butterfly demon seemed to recall something, and said: "A while ago, when our clansmen who went out to investigate the situation came back and told me the news of seeing humans, they also told me another thing - it is said that A lord who was deeply loved by our king has passed away, and the king will personally attend the funeral of that lord and select the next lord."

Ke Shaoan kept this information in his heart, and asked again: "Are the lords selected based on their ability?"

Butterfly Demon: "That's not all. It's mainly decided according to the king's thoughts. The abilities of several races close to the king are not the top in the demon world, but they are candidates for the lord all the year round-this is the case of the lord who passed away this time. .”

Ke Shaochen said thoughtfully: "It's like this..."

"However, in recent years, the king seems to have made big moves frequently, and the demon world has always been very unsettled." The butterfly demon said: "In the past hundreds of years, the king has always stayed in the palace and rarely went out. The relevant news... the king seems to be planning to do something."

Ke Shaochen narrowed his eyes slightly: "Recently..."

I'm afraid it has something to do with the frequent appearance of monsters in the world recently.

"The demon world is in turmoil, and the atmosphere has become a little tense. The monster clans are in danger and live in seclusion, lest they be targeted by the king." Butterfly Yao said: "So our life has become much better than before."
