Chapter 211 Eat first and put other things aside
Upon hearing this, Shen Yue couldn't help but feel surprised and helpless.
She stared at the Demon Lord with eyes wide open in disbelief, as if she wanted to find a hint of joking in his eyes, but she only saw endless seriousness and determination.
She thought to herself, "This demon king's train of thought is really strange. He has been searching for so long but has not found anything. How can he be sure that we can help? This is obviously nonsense!"
However, Shen Yue soon realized that now was not the time to dwell on these issues.
She secretly glanced at He Zhiyao beside her, only to see that he was also shocked and was obviously caught off guard by the Demon Lord's decision.
"Master Demon,"
Shen Yue forced a smile and tried to make his voice sound more sincere. "We are just disciples of Qingyun Sect and know very little about the affairs of the demon world. We are honored that you trust us so much, but we are also worried that we are not capable enough and will disappoint your expectations."
The Demon Lord seemed unmoved. He glanced at Shen Yue coldly, then took out two small porcelain bottles from his arms and handed them to Shen Yue and He Zhiyao respectively.
"This is the antidote to the life-threatening poison. Take it once every 15 days and it will keep you safe. But remember, once you leave my sight or try to betray me, the consequences will be disastrous."
Shen Yue took the porcelain bottle, his fingertips trembling slightly, and mixed feelings in his heart.
She understood that this was not just an antidote, but also a shackle that tightly bound them to the Demon Lord.
She glanced at Sangsang, whose eyes were also filled with helplessness and determination.
"Master Demon, we..."
Shen Yue was about to say something when he was interrupted by the Demon Lord.
"No need to say more,"
The Demon Lord stood up, turned his back to them, and said without a trace of emotion, "You have two choices: one is to stay here and find my sister's whereabouts for me; the other is to leave now, but I will immediately activate the life Gu and let you die in pain."
Shen Yue and Sangsang looked at each other and saw determination and unwillingness in each other's eyes.
They knew that they had no way out at this moment and could only save their lives first and then look for a chance to escape.
"We...are willing to stay."
Shen Yue finally compromised. She uttered these words slowly with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.
Upon hearing this, the Demon Lord nodded slightly, then turned around, his deep eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.
"Very good, I look forward to your good news. However, before that, you need to learn how to survive in the demon world."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, signaling the guards to take them downstairs to arrange accommodation.
Shen Yue and Sangsang followed the demon guards through the winding and deep corridors, and every step seemed particularly heavy.
Their hearts were filled with complex emotions, including fear of an unknown fate and concern for their fellow Qingyun Sect members.
"Sister, how did we become like this?"
Shen Yue finally couldn't help it and asked He Zhiyao in a low voice.
There was a slight tremor in her voice, and she was obviously very uneasy about her current situation.
Sangsang gently patted the back of Shen Yue's hand, giving her a little comfort.
"Yuer, now that things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time. But you must remember that we are always disciples of the Qingyun Sect. No matter where we are, we must not forget our identity and mission."
Just as the two were immersed in their own thoughts, the guard stopped and pointed to two adjacent rooms in front.
"This is where you will live from now on. Please follow me."
Shen Yue looked up at the two simple rooms and felt uneasy.
