Chapter 32: Face As A Yao Cultivator?

Just as everyone thought that the questioning was coming to an end, Zhuang Qing abruptly fixed his gaze on the Suanyu. "You're lying."

The Suanyu's entire body stiffened. His gaze was a little evasive. "I-I'm not lying."

"What you said might be true, but you left out some of the facts," Zhuang Qing walked over and stood beside the Suanyu. He reached out a hand and tapped the table in front of the Suanyu. The table was made out of real wood, yet it emitted a dull sound upon the rapping of Zhuang Qing's fingers.

The Suanyu stared at Zhuang Qing's slender fingers, his head dipping even further.

"There's murderous qi on you. Even if you didn't eat any humans in your earlier years, there is a possibility that you've killed other yao," Zhuang Qing circled the Suanyu. The Suanyu unconsciously drew his arms towards his ribs.

"But all this occurred several thousand years ago, there's no benefit in pursuing it any further," Zhuang Qing watched the Suanyu secretly heave a sigh of relief before changing the topic. "But a fiend who was worshiped by humans and even recorded in the humans' ancient texts would not endure human noise underground for so long. What are you apprehensive about?"

Only then did the bureau's people see the light. They had been fooled by the Suanyu's simple and honest appearance. This was a famous fiend who had even been worshiped by humans, how could it have tolerated the humans' unbridled behavior? Unless, he had misgivings.

Were the yaoguai now... all so scary? Subjected to the stares of so many pairs of eyes, the Suanyu shook his head unceasingly. "I can't say it."

"En?" Zhuang Qing stretched out a hand, divine sword already in hand.

"Speak nicely if you have something to say, how can you break out into violence the moment there's a disagreement? The Suanyu was already aware that he wasn't a match for Zhuang Qing. "I can still consider it."

Fifteen minutes later, the Suanyu who said he would 'consider it' honestly voiced the truth he had concealed.

"Heavenly law doesn't tolerate the existence of great yao in this world," The Suanyu swallowed. "I once saw with my own eyes a Feiyi suddenly melting under strong sunlight, as well as a great yao who suddenly contracted an incurable disease, causing it to rot. In the end, that great yao suffered till its death. What fiend? What auspicious beast? When the time comes, we are merely sacrificial victims of heavenly law."

"Isn't it said that a Feiyi would bring about terrible drought? Why would such a great yao fear strong sunlight?" A chill wracked Chu Yu's entire body. Suddenly, he recalled the yao-beating whip Fu Li had lent to the management bureau. According to senior Fu Li, the yao-beating whip had landed in his hands because two great yao had died from thunderbolts in the midst of their fight.

"I thought of a creature," There was a slight tremble to Xu Yuan's voice. "Dinosaurs."

During the Jurassic period, dinosaurs were the hegemons of the whole world, just like the humans today. Yet now, other than a few fossils that served as proof of their existence, who had ever seen their true appearance?

If the ancient yao race ended up as such, then what about them humans...

Would they one day tread the same path as the dinosaurs and ancient yao race, vanishing within the long river of history?

"What are dinosaurs?" The Suanyu looked at Zhuang Qing in confusion. "Relatives of your dragon clan?"

"Our boss doesn't have such old relatives," Chu Yu patted the records in his hands. "Tell us about the great yao in the past. Are there any great yao who had a pair of wings on its back, a body of golden fur, eyes as big as the moon, a nose like that of a divine ox, feet like red clouds, a body as huge as a mountain, and a hiss that can shake mountains and rivers?"
