I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 389 That's it
The first land where humans and demons can coexist peacefully.
A new city full of monsters.
There was no movement in the quiet room for a long time, only the flickering candlelight illuminated the faces of the two of them.

His eyes were filled with incomparably complicated emotions, and his face, which was as holy and pure as a fairy, was filled with shock.

Undoubtedly, Wei Changtian's conditions were something that Qing Xian had never thought of before.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

This is the principle that human beings have always adhered to for tens of thousands of years, and it is also a bottom line that no one has ever dared to cross.

Yes.

Perhaps there are many people in this world who do not agree with the concept of "if you are not the same, you must be punished", they will even get along with the demon day and night and become partners, friends, and relatives.
However, no one has ever dared to speak out their thoughts, even an emperor like Li Qi and a second-rank master like Wu Tianqing.

Because they know it will cost them everything they have.

People under heaven will not accept their point of view.

Even if it does, it will take a long, long time.

Before that, they will become the target of public criticism and the enemy of ten thousand people.

and so.

If you think about it from this angle, Wei Changtian's current behavior looks more like betraying the entire human race.

Provided that what he said is true
"Mr. Wei"

After an unknown amount of time, Qingxian finally took a deep breath and asked a question in a deep voice.

"How does this king trust you? Believe that you will not go back on your word?"

"."

Contrary to Qing Xian's performance, Wei Changtian was slightly relieved when he heard this question.

Asking this way, it means that this condition is enough to make Qingxian's heart flutter.

As for how to prove that he is not just talking about it.
"Master Demon King."

"Ten days at the latest, a thousand miles south of Shuzhou City, you will see a new city break through the ground."

"In less than half a year, this city will be completed."

"Of course, if Shuzhou is no longer in my hands at that time, it will be a different matter."

"."

After ten days, the city will be broken and built, and a new city will be built in half a year.

Wei Changtian's statement is not completely whimsical, after all, the speed of "infrastructure" in the cultivation world is far from what the previous life and ancient times could compare.

And the promise of "starting construction in ten days" is obviously a sign of sincerity.

However, this still couldn't make Qing Xian make up his mind.

Eight hundred years since he was born, and three hundred years since he ascended to the position of Demon King.

This is probably the most difficult choice she has faced in these long years.

Because this choice is not just about her alone.

It will undoubtedly affect, even rewrite the fate of the entire Yaozu.

What should we do?
Slowly lowering her head, Qingxian fell into long thoughts in the moonlight that has not changed for thousands of years.

"."

"啾啾~啾啾~"

The autumn wind is quiet, and the night birds sing slightly.

Time passed in silence, and the bright moon slowly moved from the front of Weiyang Palace to the night sky above the quiet room.

Just when the last corner of the crescent moon outside the window was covered by the window sill and disappeared from sight, a calm voice finally sounded again.

"Master Demon King, I know this is a difficult choice."

"It's the same for me, actually."

"You don't have to worry about me going back on my word at all, because the moment the monster from the Hundred Thousand Mountains appears on the battlefield, it is destined that you and I are already on the same boat."

"And if this boat capsizes, I'll be in a much harder place than you."

"At worst, you can take the Yaozu back to the Hundred Thousand Mountains, but I have no way to retreat, and I will only be completely reduced to a traitor of the human race who can be punished by everyone."

"Then why do you still do it?"

Qingxian suddenly raised her head and interrupted Wei Changtian's words: "Why do you risk the world's shame by doing something that is destined to be cast aside by everyone?"

"Because this is the only way I can think of to keep Shuzhou."

Smiling, Wei Changtian's expression remained unchanged: "As for being spurned by others. I've long been used to being scolded, so it doesn't matter anymore."

"What's more, it is guaranteed that after thousands of years, people in future generations will erect a monument for me because of it."

"monument."

Qingxian was taken aback for a moment, as if she understood Wei Changtian's meaning.

If humans and demons can really coexist peacefully from now on, then future generations may re-examine what Wei Changtian is doing today, and give them two "putting things right".

It's just that all this is too far away after all, at least when Wei Changtian is alive, he won't be able to see it.

So in Qing Xian's view, Wei Changtian actually has only one motive.
"Shuzhou, is it really so important?"

He muttered something to himself, and his embroidered eyebrows were slightly raised.

Qingxian's current appearance is enough to make all men willingly answer all her questions, but Wei Changtian didn't answer any more.

He just paused for a moment, then slowly stood up.

"Master Demon King, I have said everything that needs to be said."

"I know you haven't made up your mind yet, and I can wait a few more days."

"However, the imperial army will move out of Shu Prefecture in the near future, so I hope you make a decision as soon as possible."

"The Yaozu have spent too many years wasted in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, they should come out and have a look."

"That's all."

After saying the last sentence, and taking another deep look at the motionless Qingxian, Wei Changtian turned around and prepared to leave.

But just when he was about to push open the wooden door of the quiet room, Qing Xian suddenly called out to stop him.

"Young Master Wei, there is no need to wait any longer."

"Everything will be done as you said."

Walking out of the quiet room, Yang Liushi, who had been guarding outside the whole time, had already guessed the result of this negotiation from Wei Changtian's expression.

The tense mood relaxed a little, she hurried forward and asked in a low voice: "My lord, has the matter been settled?"

"Ah."

Nodding his head, Wei Changtian took the lantern from Yang Liushi and asked with a smile, "Where's Chu Xianping?"

"Master Chu is waiting outside."

Yang Liushi felt distressed on her face: "It's so late, do you want to go somewhere else?"

"Yes, I have to see someone again."

Wei Changtian walked out of the mansion while persuading him in a low voice: "Okay, I can go out by myself, you can go and rest, you will be busy for a while."

"okay."

Yang Liushi didn't ask what she was busy with, and she didn't insist on sending Wei Changtian out.

She just whispered "then you slow down" and then stopped, standing still and watching Wei Changtian slowly walk out of the house.

Perhaps, she has already guessed what Wei Changtian's conditions are for Qingxian.

"Is this Shuzhou really so important?"

The same question as Qing Xian came to Yang Liushi's mind, and after a quarter of an hour it turned into a real question, which was asked again through Chu Xianping's mouth.

"My lord, why do you value Shuzhou so much?"

On the galloping carriage, Chu Xianping, who had just heard Wei Changtian finish the transaction, frowned.

Indeed, with the help of the monster race, the chances of defeating the imperial army will undoubtedly increase a lot.

But the price behind this is too great.

Building a new city and the like are trivial matters, the most important thing is that Wei Changtian or Ning Yuke will inevitably become the "sinner" that everyone refers to.

Even if Wei Changtian could change the views of the people in Shuzhou, what about other people in the world?
Is it really worth it?
There are so many ways to rebel, why do you have to choose the most extreme one?

In fact, Chu Xianping had always disapproved of Wei Changtian being so anxious to set up a king to rebel, but because the latter was very determined, he could only follow suit.

But now he really can't figure out what is so special about Shuzhou that makes Wei Changtian give up so much for it.

"Grumpy"

The wheels ran over the road, and the black carriage drove quickly through the bustling and lively Shuzhou City in the daytime, but now it is also peaceful and serene.

After hearing this question for the second time, Wei Changtian was silent for more than ten breaths.

But this time, he gave the answer.

"Brother Chu, if it's just to change the emperor, it really doesn't need to be so troublesome."

"There's really nothing special about Shuzhou."

"However, I always have a place to tell everyone in the world, whether they are people or demons, they can actually live in a different way."

"They could actually be better off."

"."

"That's all."
