Chapter 346 - 346 THE LEADER OF THE FISH DEMON
That was indeed the reason he kept saying if anyone asked him why he kept messing around with the demons. However, the real reason was, of course, his hatred towards them after he was poisoned by the fish demon many years ago. He absolutely did not want the demon blood flowing within his body, and that was why he wanted to exterminate all the demons in this world.
That was why it was no wonder the snake demon was one of his targets. Most demons were disastrous. Yes, he had to use the word “most” instead of “all” because Yu Ming always glared at him when he carelessly said that all demons were bad. So, now he could only say that most demons were bad, and the snake demon was one of the worst.
The snake demon frequently disturbed the peace in Wu Li. They could hide underground, and that was why they would often launch sneak attacks on defenseless humans. Many humans fell victim, and that was why Wu Jinhai had once gone looking for their nest before destroying one of them.
It was certain that tonight was not the first time he had encountered the snake demon, but it was the first time he had met its leader, and he felt no fear at all. Instead, he chose to provoke the leader when he knew that the leader was angry because of what he did to his subordinates in the past.
“His Highness the Eldest Prince of Wu Li hates demons so much even if he is part of the fish demon. How ironic,” the leader of the snake demons haughtily responded to Wu Jinhai, and Wu Jinhai’s expression turned dark after hearing that.
Maybe his secret was still hidden in Wu Li and Dong Lang, but there was no guarantee that the other demons didn’t know about it. After all, demons were known for their evil character, and that was why the leader of the fish demons proudly announced to his people that he had succeeded in poisoning the eldest Prince of Wu Li.
Some of the rumors about him that spread within Wu Li related to the reason why he continued to wear the mask might have been caused by that demon’s mouth, but since there was no proof, most people only saw those rumors as rumors.
Now that Wu Jinhai knew that the demons were cooperating with the Black Werewolf Clan, he was somehow certain that the werewolves must know about his secret as well.
.....
“It’s just poison in my body, but I don’t have any actual demon blood in my body, and that’s why you can’t say that I’m part of your kind. It almost makes me want to vomit,” coldly, Wu Jinhai responded to the snake demon leader.
The poison in his body had ruined his life. His mother was killed because of that, and even his position as the Crown Prince of his empire was also snatched from his hands because of that. Hence, Wu Jinhai would never admit that he was part of the evil demon.
His golden eyes glared at the snake demon, but the demon didn’t look frightened as it could even grin at him.
“Speaking of poison, someone wishes to discuss it with you, Your Highness,” the snake demon leader spoke again, and Wu Jinhai frowned beneath his mask upon hearing that sentence.
“Someone wants to talk to me? Who is it?” Wu Jinhai asked, and right after he finished asking, a golden light suddenly traveled so fast from afar and stopped on another unused tree branch, and the light gradually materialized into a person.
Wu Jinhai’s body tensed as he finally saw the person’s full form.
At first glance, the person did not look like a normal human. He had long, dark green hair, and his eyes were golden like his, and there were even scales resembling the ones on his forehead on that person’s face. Even the back of that person’s hand was covered in scales, and in an instant, Wu Jinhai could guess the person’s identity.
“Are you the leader of the fish demon?” Wu Jinhai looked like he couldn’t believe it, but he finally managed to utter the question.
He had encountered many demons in the past few years, but never once had he met a fish demon other than Yu Ming. It could be said that the fish demons were quite lowkey, and that was why he had never seen any fish demon other than Yu Ming.
But the person who had just arrived on the scene somehow looked similar to Yu Ming, and that was why Wu Jinhai couldn’t help but think that he might be Yu Ming’s father.
“Long time no see, Your Highness. The first and last time I saw you was when you were only as big as my fist,” the fish demon calmly replied as he even raised his hand and clenched his fist.
Hearing the arrogance, Wu Jinhai clenched his fists to contain his anger. The first and last time he met the fish demon must have been when he was a baby, and that was when the demon poisoned him.
Suddenly, Wu Jinhai felt how his blood was boiling as he confirmed that he was indeed facing the demon that had destroyed his life all those years ago.
“You have ruined my life, and you even caused my mother’s death. I will kill you tonight!” Wu Jinhai was indeed angry that he had even forgotten his purpose in coming to Dong Lang, and he would have attacked the fish demon if the demon had not suddenly said something sufficient to stop his movements.
“Are you sure you want to kill me, Your Highness? After all, now I’m the only person who knows how to get rid of the poison inside your body. Are you sure you don’t want to know the way, Your Highness?”
