"Human Race, Zhao family, Zhao Xiaolou." Ye Tianze replied in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing. "The one beside me is my daughter."
His eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of time. If not for the fifty thousand years that had passed between his previous life and the present, Ye Tianze might not even be as old as this old man.
However, even if he was not older than this old man, there was still an insurmountable gap between them. After all, Ye Tianze had once stood at the pinnacle of his previous world. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the strongest person in the history of the Human Race.
Faced with the old man's penetrating eyes, Ye Tianze did not express any fear from the bottom of his heart. However, there were still some subtle changes in his expression.
"It is said that you betrayed the Human Race and came here?" the old man continued to ask.
"That's right." Ye Tianze nodded.
"Oh, you can betray the Human Race. Then, how can you guarantee that you won't betray the Spirit Race?" the old man asked.
When Ye Tianze heard this, he was momentarily stunned. Most people would definitely ask why he had betrayed the Human Race, and not the question that followed after this question.
"Because of benefits." Ye Tianze replied. "If the Spirit Race can protect my life, I am willing to serve the Spirit Race for all eternity."
"Take him away and guard him strictly," the old man said.
Two golden-armored guards immediately walked over and took Ye Tianze away, locking him in the dungeon. He was not worried about Zhu Que.
Because she was just a child, the Spirit Race obviously would not treat her as a threat. If the Spirit Race interrogated her, with her experience, she would be able to easily avoid the key questions.
An hour later, Zhu Que returned. Seeing that she was unharmed, Ye Tianze breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you alright?" Ye Tianze asked.
"Of course I'm fine," Zhu Que replied. "Was this your plan to be locked up in this dungeon? What if the Spirit Race locks us up for the rest of our lives? "
"Hahaha, the Spirit Race would never waste food to raise two useless humans for their entire lives." Ye Tianze laughed. "What did this Spirit Race Grand Elder ask you?"
"We need to find out how we came here and how we escaped from the human race," Zhu Que said.
"Oh, that's good." Ye Tianze lay down.
"Why aren't you worried at all?" Zhu Que asked. "What if they go to the human race to seek confirmation? Wouldn't we be exposed then? "
"Don't worry, the journey is so long that they won't go to the human race for confirmation. Didn't you see the murals in the hall and the eyes of the Spirit Race?" Ye Tianze said with a smile, "These guys are just a bunch of country bumpkins who have never seen the world. Perhaps their Great Elder has seen them before, but that must have been many years ago."
"So?"
"Why have you become so dumb after your rebirth?" Ye Tianze said unhappily.
When the Vermillion Bird heard this, she was instantly enraged. However, she quickly understood what Ye Tianze was trying to say. "You mean to say that this tribe is located in the depths of the Spirit Race's territory. That's why they haven't had the opportunity to see any humans?"
"At least they retained some of their previous intelligence," Ye Tianze said.
Zhu Que wanted to give him two slaps, but when she realized that she would be the one in pain, she decided against it. "What do we do now?"
"Since we're already here, we might as well take things as they come," Ye Tianze said.
"Speak human!" Zhu Que said unhappily.
"Wait," Ye Tianze said.
"… …" Zhu Que.
They waited in the dungeon for two months, but no one came to check on them. However, they were given a lot of spirit fruits and spirit liquids every day.
Ye Tianze used the spirit liquids to recover some of his strength. The Spirit Race really didn't seem to have much contact with the human race. Although they used the vines to bind Ye Tianze, they forgot to seal his meridians.
The Vermilion Bird's growth rate had indeed exceeded Ye Tianze's expectations. In just two months' time, she was already seven or eight years old from the appearance of a three-year-old child.
Zhu Que's strength had also increased greatly, but it was still less than one ten-thousandth of her peak strength.
After two months of waiting, Zhu Que was a little impatient. "I think they're different from what you guessed. These people must have gone to a higher-level tribe to seek confirmation."
"Not everyone in the Spirit Race is a saint. They have their own selfish motives. The conditions I proposed are very tempting. If they can obtain what I want, this tribe will have done a great service to the Spirit Race. I don't believe that they would tell such a good thing to a higher-level tribe," Ye Tianze said.
"That's not necessarily true," Zhu Que said.
"What are we betting on?" Ye Tianze said.
"If you lose, we'll probably lose our lives. How can you still be in the mood to gamble?" Zhu Que said.
"Other than this, you can't think of any other way, right?" Ye Tianze said. "If that's the case, why don't you relax and wait for the results? How about this, if you lose, you have to warm my bed? "
"I'll slap you to death!" Zhu Que's face was full of anger. She didn't expect Ye Tianze to dare to go so far with her.
She couldn't do anything to Ye Tianze. Most importantly, although she was angry on the surface, her heart was beating fast. She didn't have any intention of resisting.
"Why are you so serious? I'm just joking."
Ye Tianze said. "We have the Spirit Dew and Spirit Fruit here. Our lives aren't worse than yours in Zhu Que's residence. In a few more months, my cultivation will be completely restored. Don't worry. "
Zhu Que wasn't as optimistic as him. After all, there were so many things in the Southern Territory. It wasn't her style to run here and be a captive.
However, it seemed that she was affected by Ye Tianze's emotions. Zhu Que quickly calmed down. The flow of time here was ten times faster than in the Southern Territory. Even if a few months had passed, only a few days had passed in the Southern Territory.
Three days later, the Spirit Race finally couldn't sit still.
A luxuriously dressed Spirit Race member suddenly opened the prison door for them. He also untied Ye Tianze's demonic vines and invited them into the main hall.
The current situation was completely different from when they first arrived. The Spirit Race Grand Elder was no longer as oppressive as before. He looked like an amiable old man.
"Zhao Xiaolou, you dare to lie to this seat. I've sent subordinates to the human territory to investigate. There are no records of your existence. Speak, who are you and why have you come to the Spirit Race?" The Spirit Race Grand Elder's tone was calm.
However, when his voice reached Ye Tianze and Zhu Que's ears, it was like thunder piercing their ears. Their minds shook.
"If Grand Elder doesn't believe me, there's nothing I can do. I can only let the Spirit Race slaughter me." Ye Tianze spread his hands helplessly.
The atmosphere in the main hall was so tense that it seemed as if the air had frozen. Zhu Que, however, was already prepared for battle.
"Hahahaha, as expected of a member of the Zhao family. You really have guts." At this moment, the Grand Elder suddenly smiled.
He once again turned into an amiable old man. The atmosphere in the main hall immediately relaxed. Zhu Que finally understood that Ye Tianze's guesses had all come true. This old bastard had been tricking them from the start.
"Hmm, has your daughter grown up?" The old man suddenly looked at Zhu Que.
This made Zhu Que nervous. She could explain anything, but she couldn't hide the fact that her daughter had grown up.
