Uchiha Chen glanced at him and didn't speak. He just continued to eat the food on the table. For him, Qian Feng's words weren't as attractive as the food on the table.
"Chen -san, we sincerely want to invite you, please …" Qian Feng tried to persuade Uchiha Chen further, but when he saw Chen's indifferent expression, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
Although Bauhinia didn't say it, Qian Feng wasn't a fool. She was obviously weak, trying to pretend as if nothing had happened. Although Qian Feng didn't say it, he knew very well in his heart.
There wasn't much time left for the Land of Demons.
Bauhinia couldn't hold on for much longer. The Miko had always been a single descendant. Only when the first Miko died, the second Miko would be born.
Bauhinia had just passed her 18th birthday, and it was impossible for her to have children. Even if a new Miko was born, it would take time to cultivate.
But now, what the Land of Demons lacked was time.
Whether it was Bauhinia, Qian Feng, or other important figures of the Land of Demons, they all knew that if there was no new hope, the Demon was likely to be reborn.
Although this news wasn't released, the Kage of various villages knew more or less about it.
So what if they knew? They couldn't do anything about it. They could only give the Land of Demons as much as possible in terms of materials and send a few more medical ninjas to maintain the Miko's body.
They had already prepared for the worst. If the Demon broke the seal, they would force the Miko to sacrifice her life to continue sealing the Demon.
Don't say that they were cold-blooded and ruthless. The fact is, everyone has their own position. As the Daimyo of their respective countries, as the Kage of their respective villages, they must stand on their own positions and strive for the greatest benefits for their own forces. There was no way around it.
There was a saying that one had no freedom in the martial arts world.
Maybe they couldn't bear it in their hearts, but they would never be merciful. After all, didn't the Land of Demons exist to resist the Demon? Didn't the Miko exist to seal the Demon?
If sacrificing a Miko and the Land of Demons could seal the Demon, they would definitely do so.
Qian Feng knew this. He had long known how dirty those big countries were. Now that there was someone who could save their Country of Ghosts and help the Witch seal the Demon, he would do everything he could to get this person's help, regardless of the cost!
This! This was his most basic mission as a servant!
Qian Feng took a deep breath and looked at Uchiha Chen with a dignified expression, and his eyes gradually became sharp.
"What? Since the invitation failed, you intend to use force? "Shen mocked as he raised his brows.
"No, no, no!" Qian Feng shook his head again and again, although he had such an idea in his mind, he didn't have the strength.
After learning about Uchiha Chen's strength from Miko-sama's mouth, Qian Feng believed that he wouldn't be able to defeat Uchiha Chen with just a few of his subordinates, so the idea of using brute force only flashed through his mind.
''s' '''s's's's,'s......... ''s to's, if. if you's's, we....' '' '''t '''t't't't, if he, to's to help to.. to help't '' ''t''t,'t't't's, help's help '' ''s's help' '''s to help. the..... to's to help. to't to help't.'t to't ''s to help' '''s ask. help...
"'t't t '''t't??". Chen was speechless. He put down the pastries and sat down. His eyes were calm as he said indifferently, "Price? I'm afraid the price is too high for you to afford. "
"Your Excellency, as long as we can do it, we will do it at all costs!" Qian Feng was in high spirits as he waved his hand. Qian Feng was overjoyed. He wasn't afraid that Chen wouldn't make a request, but he was afraid that Chen wouldn't agree.
As long as Chen was willing to make a request, there was a possibility of success. Qian Feng was afraid that Chen wouldn't care about the Land of Demons and wouldn't make a request. If that happened, Qian Feng didn't know how to ask Chen to help.
"Conditions …" Chen thought for a while and didn't say it immediately, "I haven't thought of it yet. I'll tell you when I think of it. First, take me to your Miko."
In fact, Chen just wanted to see the Demon of the Land of Demons. He didn't expect the system to suddenly issue a quest.
'Ding! Side Quest: Solve the Demon of the Land of Demons. Help the Miko of the Land of Demons to solve the Demon that has been sealed for a long time. Quest Reward: Unknown. Quest Failure: Unknown. Note: This quest is inextricably linked to the host. If the host refuses, there may be unpredictable consequences. '
Chen agreed because of this unknown reward. As for the unpredictable consequences mentioned by the system, Chen didn't know. After silently contacting the system, he didn't get a reply. 'It seems like I have to intervene in this matter,' Chen thought.
Seeing Chen agree, Qian Feng was overjoyed. He quickly agreed and was about to leave with Chen.
"Wait!" Chen reached out to stop him, "Bring me a pot of wine."
"Don't mention a pot. When you see Achikide-sama, even ten pots won't be a problem." Qian Feng quickly asked someone to bring a pot of wine and left with Chen. Now, every minute is very urgent, and Qian Feng certainly won't care about the details with Chen.
One had to know that every minute of delay increased the chances of the demon breaking the seal. He couldn't afford to delay, and neither could the Land of Demons.
…
He brought Chen all the way to Achikide-sama's residence.
"Achikide-sama, I have brought the person. May I ask …"
"Invite the guest in." Achikide-sama's weak voice came from inside the house.
"Yes!"
Shen pushed the door open and entered. The first thing he saw was the woman kneeling before the shrine. Her frail body appeared to be on the verge of collapsing. Her purple hair extended all the way to her waist. When she turned around, Shen was finally able to see her face. It was very delicate, but also very delicate.
This was Chen's first impression of her. However, such a weak woman supported the Land of Demons and shouldered the heavy responsibility of suppressing the Demon.
"Please sit." Achikide-sama smiled sadly. Her pale face had no trace of blood. She coughed twice, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. Seeing Chen looking at her, Achikide-sama couldn't help but smile softly, "I let you see a joke. I used a secret technique and suffered a backlash. I may not be able to suppress the Demon for long."
