Chapter 1349: The Truth

The witch Chi Li, with a delicate anger on her face, exuded an innate arrogance, like a queen who was sacred and inviolable. Coupled with her stunning icy beauty and perfect figure, she was truly captivating.

What a pity.

Such a high-quality girl, yet she didn't seem to care for him.

As a cosmic-level handsome guy, Lou Benwei immediately felt displeased. Being a gentleman, he couldn't vent his frustration on a girl, so he had to direct his irritation elsewhere.

He stomped his foot hard, and the poor White-Eyed Ugly Demon suffered the brunt of it.

The demon grimaced in pain, filled with grievances but too afraid to protest. He felt both aggrieved and resentful.

"Ouch..."

"Ah!"

"Stop stomping, stop stomping! This has nothing to do with me!"

He was genuinely aggrieved. He hadn't provoked anyone and had been obediently silent the whole time, yet he was being used as a punching bag for no reason. All he could do was beg for mercy and take the blame for this sudden misfortune, tears of委屈 nearly welling up in his eyes.

The more he howled, the more委屈 he felt.

Hearing the pitiful pleas, Chi Li's cold eyes stiffened, and her previous arrogance unconsciously softened a bit.

That voice... it sounded familiar...

She turned her gaze toward the source.

Under the small skeleton chair, there was a spatial rift, and a foot was stepping on the face of the White-Eyed Demon, which was peeking out from the crack!

As soon as she saw those white eyes with black pupils, Chi Li was shocked, her beautiful face turning pale.

She stood there dumbfounded, unable to utter a word.

"T-Totem Lord?!"

In that instant.

It was as if she had been struck by lightning, her face turning deathly pale, her mind buzzing. Even though she saw the truth with her own eyes, her expression was filled with disbelief and shock!

That was the Totem Lord, the very信仰 of the entire demon race!

No matter how many years passed, no matter how many rulers changed, the Totem Lord had always been the foundation of the demon race, the very source of their魔力!

And now, he was being trampled underfoot like a servant?

How could this be?!

Chi Li's clear eyes trembled, her delicate body shivering uncontrollably.

Following the Totem Lord's gaze upward, she once again noticed the small skeleton lying on the chair. The arrogance in her eyes vanished, replaced only by indescribable shock and fear.

When she spoke again, her voice was cautious and careful!

"You..."

"Just what kind of existence are you, to have even the Totem Lord reduced to such a state?!"

"Our demon race has stood proudly for eons, fearless even in the face of true gods. The Totem Lord is a supreme being beyond all creation. How could you possibly trample him underfoot..."

The more she spoke, the more her voice trembled, and fear began to show in her eyes.

Seeing the girl so tense, Lou Benwei finally felt a bit of satisfaction.

He elegantly crossed his hands, propping his chin as he sat up.

"Girl."

"Now you finally understand just how powerful this handsome guy is, right? But don't worry, you're much better than this loser. I won't give you a hard time. As long as you're sensible, this big brother will definitely take care of you. There are plenty of benefits to be had!"

Hearing his domineering words, Chi Li could only murmur in a trembling voice, still half in disbelief, as if she were in a dream, her eyes filled with doubt.

"This can't be..."

"This absolutely can't be!"

"I refuse to believe this! It's all an illusion! Our demon race has always stood above all creation. The Totem Lord would never be in such a pitiful state!"

Since birth, Chi Li had always been a高高在上的存在. Suddenly seeing her信仰 being crushed, she felt her entire worldview collapsing. She couldn't accept it, no matter what.

Seeing her still living in a dream, completely unaware of the vastness of the world.

Lou Benwei simply smiled.

"Girl."

"It's not that I want to be harsh, but the truth is, your demon race might seem impressive, but in the grand scheme of things, you're just垃圾玩意儿, not even qualified to be pawns."

"We only hunt demons occasionally when we need materials. Otherwise, who would even bother with you? Don't think that just because others ignore you, you're something special. If we weren't so busy, your demon race would have been wiped out long ago."

Chi Li's eyes widened in shock, and she shook her head repeatedly, gritting her teeth.

"No way..."

"Our demon race can't possibly be that weak! You're just insulting us!"

Lou Benwei sighed helplessly, glancing down at his feet.

"Insulting?"

"If you don't believe me, ask this ugly guy. See if he can refute anything?"

"Your demon race is just surviving in the cracks, serving as lackeys to a couple of bigger垃圾, and you think you have the right to dominate the heavens? It's just that I, this渣男, don't care enough. Otherwise, I could wipe you out in minutes."

"But even if I don't bother, your demon race's days are numbered."

"As soon as the last little friend under my master's command appears, you'll be nothing but stepping stones, at best some practice material. Your destruction is already set in stone."

Whoosh!

Chi Li felt as if she had been doused in icy water, her entire body freezing cold!

She couldn't believe that the demon race, which she had always been so proud of, was actually such a weak existence. Had all her previous优越感 been nothing but ignorance?

Thinking this, she anxiously looked down.

The Totem Lord under the chair had quietly closed his eyes, not daring to make a sound, as if silently accepting everything, or perhaps filled with fear, too afraid to speak.

This卑微的模样 left Chi Li utterly stunned.

In that moment.

An unprecedented冲击, like a tidal wave, surged through her heart, wave after wave. All her previous knowledge and experiences were drowned out in an instant!

Her worldview had collapsed!

The higher she had once been, the harder she fell now!

Chi Li felt as if all the strength had been drained from her body, and she collapsed to the ground...

Lou Benwei didn't bother saying more, just casually added.

"This is the truth of the world. Believe it or not, it's up to you."

"If you still think the demon race is so powerful, then keep dreaming. But if you come to your senses, I, this渣男, might give you a chance."

Chi Li's heart trembled, her entire body weighed down by immense pressure.

Stealing a glance at the Totem Lord, now hiding underfoot, her自尊 felt as if it were being scorched by flames, every moment filled with unbearable pain. As she recalled his words, she felt even more纠结, her mindset beginning to动摇.

After a few moments of艰难紧握着玉手沉吟, she finally gritted her teeth and knelt down.

"I... I am willing to seize this opportunity!"

"Please, great one, tell me what price I must pay to secure a chance at survival in the future!"

Only then did Lou Benwei nod in satisfaction, smiling as he propped his chin.

"Hmm, now that's what I call a smart move. It's not a waste of such a great figure and face."

"Come on, dance the 'Black Peach A' for me first!"

Chi Li's eyes widened in confusion, not understanding the deeper meaning behind the skeleton lord's words.

Fortunately, Lou Benwei was considerate and, after a few绅士教导, she finally understood. Not daring to hesitate any longer, Chi Li began to dance,尽管娇羞, her movements full of风情万千媚态, a stark contrast to her usual icy demeanor, yet possessing a unique charm.

Lou Benwei lay back on the chair, enjoying the dance, a wine glass in hand, his smile growing wider.

"Hahaha."

"Don't stop, keep dancing!"

For a moment, the small space was filled with joy. What should have been a dull and monotonous guarding duty had turned into something incredibly entertaining, with the most beautiful scenery in the world right before his eyes.

As he enjoyed this brief moment of pleasure, Lou Benwei's usual放纵 seemed to fade. His gaze drifted toward the endless starry sky, a glimmer of expectation flashing in his eyes.
