804: Chapter 522 804: Chapter 522 Jiang Tang watched the Wolf Demon drooling, feeling a bit disgusted, but he just watched; neither the items nor the food required him to pick them up with his own hands, as he could control them with a spell.
A bowl of water and a large piece of mutton floated in front of the Demon Wolf, who looked eager to eat and drink yet could not, which was quite satisfying to witness.
“Spit it out quickly, and then you can eat and drink.
If you don’t tell, you get nothing!” Jiang Tang said.
The Wolf Demon tried to struggle to eat the meat with its head but couldn’t move an inch; it could only watch the bowl of water and the mutton while salivating continuously.
“Do I really get to eat if I talk?”
The Wolf Demon, willing to betray its ancestors for food and water, was exactly the result they wanted.
“Yes, as long as you answer the question I just asked, you can eat meat and drink water.
Otherwise, you’ll get nothing, and all that awaits you is death,” Jiang Tang said.
This tactic of Jiang Tang’s had some effect, truly tempting the Wolf Demon.
“Give me a piece of meat to taste, and a sip of water, and I’ll tell you.
After I’ve told you, you must let me eat and drink!” The Wolf Demon feared being deceived after speaking and receiving nothing in return.
“Fine, I agree to your terms!” With a gesture from Jiang Tang, a slice of meat cut itself from the piece in the air, and then a bit of water also separated from the bowl, both floating towards the Demon Wolf’s mouth.
The Demon Wolf got a bite of the meat, found it delicious, much tastier than human flesh.
They didn’t eat human flesh; they had evolved.
They ate chickens, ducks, and geese raised by humans, especially in the east of the Cultivation World there were lots of Demonic Beasts it craved to eat.
Even in the north’s winter, there was plenty of food available.
But they would hunt for food at night; they had not expected humans to come to their village by daylight.
The ordinary humans who came before were dealt with by them, but they had not expected such a powerful character to pursue the matter.
The village too had people from the Cultivation World.
They had not carefully extracted this information from the memories of each person.
Cai Xiangxiang hadn’t returned for over a decade, and apart from her family, the villagers had all but forgotten her.
Her family hadn’t seen Cai Xiangxiang for more than a decade; they only knew an Immortal had taken her away, whether she was dead or alive they didn’t know, her image deeply buried in their hearts.
Despite their longing day and night, Cai Xiangxiang had not returned, never did they expect that when she met misfortune, they would too.
When Cai Xiangxiang was in peril, she followed to the North City Immortal Sect.
For the past few months, she had been powerless, hiding all along.
After the Wolf Demon had drunk a sip of water and eaten a piece of meat, it felt its strength returning.
The meat was too delicious, and looking at the large piece still in front of it, the water in the bowl had hardly diminished.
Thinking of the humans’ offer, it decided to risk it all for food and drink.
“How about I answer one question for each bite of meat and sip of water?”
The Demon Wolf was bargaining again, and Jiang Tang nodded in agreement since he would otherwise throw away the meat and pour out the water.
“We are Demon Wolves from the west,” said the Demon Wolf, then it fell silent, eagerly eyeing the meat.
Jiang Tang sliced another piece of meat and brought it to its mouth.
After the Demon Wolf savored the delicious meat and had another sip of water, it said, “We are from the Demon Realm in the west, brought out by our Demon King.
I don’t know if other demons have come out.
We took on human forms, consumed their souls, and then imprisoned them.
If they held no value, they just kept them living in that place.”
The Demon Wolf stopped after saying so much, waiting for more food and water.
Jiang Tang gave it another piece of meat and a sip of water.
Then, leisurely chewing the tasty meat and savoring another sip of water, the Demon Wolf continued, “We created this village; one of our families lives here.
As for the original humans, we consumed them, their souls are locked in a basement and have been for several months now.
I don’t know whether they are dead or alive.”
Hearing this, Cai Xiangxiang anxiously asked, “Where is the basement with my relatives?”
Cai Xiangxiang was genuinely worried about whether her relatives were dead or alive, as per the Wolf Demon’s declaration.
The Demon Wolf didn’t answer Cai Xiangxiang’s question and kept longing for the meat, looking at Jiang Tang.
“Hurry up and tell, you monster!” Cai Xiangxiang cried impatiently.
“Cai Xiangxiang, wait until I’ve finished asking.
It’s not too late to save them afterward.
Don’t worry, even if they’re dead, as long as their souls exist, they can be cultivated,” Jiang Tang said, soothing Cai Xiangxiang while giving the Demon Wolf another piece of meat and sip of water.
Having consumed another mouthful of meat and water, the Demon Wolf finally answered Cai Xiangxiang’s question: “The basement is in a cave on that big mountain.”
Cai Xiangxiang wanted to rush out upon hearing the Demon Wolf’s words but was stopped by Jiang Tang.
Not knowing the situation there, and with Cai Xiangxiang’s lack of ability, it was uncertain if she would be harmed.
“Don’t rush; let me finish asking first!” Jiang Tang restrained her.
“How can I not be anxious?
Those are my family,” said Cai Xiangxiang, her tears starting to flow again.
Cai Xiangxiang’s tears softened Jiang Tang’s heart again.
It’s not too late to ask the other questions after the rescue.
“Alright, let’s go save them first!”
With a thought from Jiang Tang, the door of his Flying Artifact opened, and he instructed Yan Weiwei to look after the family and the other women present.
He then called over Ye Tian, took Cai Xiangxiang with him, and headed towards the snowy mountain indicated by the Demon Wolf.
“Don’t leave; I haven’t finished eating the meat!” The Wolf Demon watched the meat in front of it, unable to eat it any longer.
Having tasted such deliciousness, it was a test of willpower to only be able to look, not eat.
