“Second Brother, it’s really not because she’s beautiful,” Mi Ziwen said awkwardly. After all, it was a little embarrassing for him to comment on a woman’s beauty in front of his sworn brother.
“Second Brother, think about it. This place looks completely deserted. Why would a weak-looking woman suddenly appear?” Mi Ziwen said solemnly. “I think we should wait until she wakes up and question her properly.”
“Yes, Your Highness. I really don’t think she’s a demonic beast,” Wang Xin chimed in. “Look, she’s even carrying a short sword. Demonic beasts don’t use weapons.”
Wang Xin pointed at the woman’s waist. Sure enough, there was a foot-long short sword hanging from her waist.
“Who told you that demonic beasts don’t use weapons?” Zhou Shu said in annoyance.
Yao Qing only knew how to use weapons.
He wondered if Yao Qing had left the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space yet, and Yao Buqi as well.
Speaking of which, Zhou Shu was still a little reluctant to leave Yao Buqi. It was difficult to find such an obedient demonic beast.
But when he left the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space, Zhou Shu had left them there. As for whether they could leave before the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space collapsed, that would depend on their luck.
No matter how ambitious Zhou Shu was, he didn’t dare to bring Yao Buqi and his group with him to the Demon Realm.
If they did anything, the Ten Nations Alliance couldn’t afford to take any risk.
“This is the Demon Realm. If she’s not a demonic beast, could she be a human?” Zhou Shu said angrily. “Wang Xin, Wang Xin, have you been single for too long that your brain doesn’t work well when you see a beauty?”
“I’m not—” Wang Xin blushed and straightened his neck.
“No need to explain,” Zhou Shu interrupted. “When a man grows up, he should get married. It’s normal for you to be like this. I’ll tell General Wang later that it’s time to find you a wife. There are also some female generals in our Ten Nations Alliance, and I think a few of them are quite compatible with you.”
Back then, at the start of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, Lu Wenshuang had led an army of women, and there were still hundreds of them who survived.
No matter how thick-skinned Wang Xin was, his face turned red from Zhou Shu’s words, and he was at a loss.
“Since neither of you feel we should kill her, let’s take her back first.” Zhou Shu waved his hand.
Before he could finish, he heard a moan, and the person on the ground opened her eyes.
There was a hint of confusion in her big eyes, making her look a little cute.
Zhou Shu frowned slightly. This person’s eyes weren’t red!
In the Demon Realm, the descendants of Great Demons could transform into human form after reaching the first rank, just like Yao Qing and Yao Buqi. From their appearance, they were basically no different from humans.
The only difference was that their eyes were red.
This was also how Zhou Shu and the others had distinguished between humans and humanoid demonic beasts.
The woman in front of him had clear, bright eyes, no different from human eyes.
Could she really be human and not a demonic beast?
Wang Xin excitedly said to Zhou Shu, “Your Highness, her eyes!”
The woman appeared startled. She parted her red lips and spoke. “Are you… humans?”
Her voice matched her appearance perfectly. It was crisp and pleasant to the ear.
“That’s right,” Wang Xin said. “Miss, you’re also a human? Why are you in the Demon Realm?”
“I should be asking you this. Why are you in the Demon Realm?” The woman looked vigilant. Her hand was already on the hilt of the short sword at her waist. Her body lit up slightly, revealing the aura of a first-rank martial artist.
“It’s a long story. We came from the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space,” Wang Xin blurted out before Zhou Shu could stop him.
Zhou Shu’s face darkened. In the past, he had felt that Wang Xin was a very reliable worker. Was he bewitched now?
This woman’s identity was unknown. Why was he telling her so much?
“Identify yourself, or don’t blame me for being merciless!” Zhou Shu snorted coldly and unsheathed the earth-grade Great Destroyer Sword with a clang. He leaned on the sword with his hand, his aura contained.
Like a startled rabbit, the woman floated up and retreated several meters. Her face was wary, her eyes filled with panic.
Her pitiful look made Wang Xin’s and Mi Ziwen’s hearts tighten.
“Wang—” Wang Xin wanted to say something, but Zhou Shu glared at him, and he shrank back in embarrassment.
The woman stared straight at Zhou Shu and suddenly said, “You cultivate the Emperor Xuan Jade Book?”
Zhou Shu frowned slightly. Emperor Xuan Jade Book?
It took him a moment to react. That’s right. He had indeed cultivated the Emperor Xuan Jade Book!
Speaking of which, Zhou Shu’s spiritual essence cultivation base was based on the Emperor Xuan Jade Book he had obtained from the imperial family of Great Xia.
But his Martial Dao foundation was mostly based on the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique, the Golden Bell Shield Technique, and the God of War Catalog. And now, he had the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, so he had never taken the Emperor Xuan Jade Book seriously.
He didn’t expect this woman to be able to see through the source of his spiritual essence.
Before Zhou Shu could answer, a golden light suddenly lit up on the woman’s body.
Zhou Shu’s pupils constricted. “You also know the Emperor Xuan Jade Book?”
Although he had never paid much attention to the Emperor Xuan Jade Book, it was still the foundation of his spiritual essence. The aura emitted by this woman showed that she actually cultivated the Emperor Xuan Jade Book. Zhou Shu would never mistake this!
