Chapter 297: Chapter Two Hundred Ninety-Three: Respect

Upon hearing Tang Luo’s response, the two girls were so scared that their faces contorted, looking as if they had just seen someone deliberately jumping into a trap. Their conflict between wanting to say something but being too afraid to speak left them at a loss.

The Demon King’s reaction was even stranger. As he continually weaved his lies, he realized that even he didn’t believe them. But to his surprise, this human in front of him agreed so easily, which made him feel somewhat heavy-hearted.

From the moment they met, this human had addressed him respectfully as “Demon King” and not insulted him despite him being just a remnant spirit. This respect was a long forgotten feeling for him, reminiscent of the deference shown by the younger members of the Demon Race.

Yet he was lying to this human, which made the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon feel a twinge of guilt.

“Are you not afraid I am lying to you?” the aged voice asked faintly.

Tang Luo, with his hands behind his back, chuckled and responded, “A thousand years ago, you fell into a trap because of your blood descendants; a thousand years later, you are self-destructing to protect your companions. Although humans and demons are different, I see these actions as heroic. I don’t see why I should reject such a small request from the ancient Demon King.”

His words were not entirely flattery. Although Tang Luo didn’t admire the Demon King’s cunning, he admired his choices and actions greatly. Every race has its heroes during moments of crisis. These heroes are born in response to the circumstances, all aiming to prevent the collapse of their kind and reverse the tide of calamity.

Some are extraordinarily lucky, and they succeed; but the fates of most heroes, like that of the Nine-Tailed Fox King, end in wrongful death.

Racial conflicts have no distinctions of dirty or clean tactics. When the ancient demons used humans as their food, they didn’t consult the Human Race for their willingness. The eventual defeat was only because the Human Race birthed many, many heroes. These heroes established the dominant place of the Human Race on the continent.

The Demon Race ultimately exited the stage of history. Looking at the present Demon King, now only a remnant spirit, he seems pitiful and weak. But in his prime, this was a formidable being capable of rivaling the two saints of the Human Race.
