Chapter 724: Chapter 723: What Does it Mean that the Plague was Deliberately Caused by the Benefactor?

Liu Xi’s attitude left Mianmian feeling disappointed.

Could it be that demons and humans truly couldn’t live together in peace, and a battle to the death was necessary? Even when offered water by a demon, this person dared not drink.

As Mianmian felt disheartened, she heard Liu Xi say, "Right, I’m sorry, my saviors, I saw your ears and got a bit, a bit scared."

Liu Xi added, swallowing, "Could you, could you pour the water into my mouth? I haven’t washed my, my mouth, and it’s dirty. I am so thirsty, thank you, my saviors."

Hearing Liu Xi’s words, Mianmian’s eyes brightened instantly.

Jiang Yao did as Liu Xi said, pouring water into his mouth.

Liu Xi’s cracked lips became moist, and he felt much more comfortable. He said it was enough, gathered his strength to stand up from the ground, and knelt down to kowtow to Mianmian’s family.

"My saviors, I am Liu Xi, and I bow to you. Thank you for saving my life. From now on, I will work like an ox or a horse to repay you."

"Aren’t you afraid of us? We’re demons." Mianmian asked directly.

Su Senqi cooperated with his daughter and turned himself into a fox.

A beautiful woman turning into a large white fox as tall as a person—who wouldn’t find that terrifying?

Despite being afraid, Liu Xi did not shrink back, continuing to kowtow: "You may be demons, but you are also Liu Xi’s saviors, and I, Liu Xi, keep to my principles." freewēbnoveℓ.com

Mianmian chuckled, "Alright, we understand your intentions. Stop kowtowing. Mianmian is going to save others, so you should hurry back home."

But Liu Xi shook his head: "No, I want to follow my saviors and lend a hand...mainly because I have nowhere else to go. Everyone in my village has already died from the plague..."

Mianmian didn’t send Liu Xi away.

She continued to treat the sick in the streets, saving one person and allowing them to see that it was a demon who had saved them before moving on to the next one.

Some people had already died, and Mianmian let Liu Xi help by gathering the bodies together.

"These people can’t just die here; they need to be cremated."

Liu Xi understood this and, while he was helping, seeing that some people were still terrified by the demons, he said sternly, "What are you afraid of? If it weren’t for our saviors, we’d all be dead. They’re saving your friends and family, so come and help instead of just waiting around!"

"What about demons? Demons are our saviors too; if it weren’t for them, we’d all be dead by now."

Liu Xi’s scolding was effective, and those who had been saved began to act, following Mianmian’s directions to save others.

Seeing how Mianmian was running around on her tiny arms and legs, Liu Xi organized everyone to gather the sick in one place, using boards to move the patients in front of Mianmian.

Indeed, this was much more efficient, and the entire town came to life. The county magistrate’s family in the town was also infected, but after being rescued, they, along with the officials, helped out too.

Mianmian was busy for three straight days, and in the meantime, she had Su Ji go back to inform Yunshang that they were saving people.

Unexpectedly, Yunshang also came with Demon Soldiers, offering to help.

The town’s folk had gotten used to seeing Su Senqi and Jiang Yao, so when more demons arrived, it didn’t cause much panic. Instead, they cooperatively got along with the demons and worked with them harmoniously.

With the help of the demons, the county magistrate discussed having Mianmian go to treat people in nearby villages.

The plague started in Liu Xi’s village, while it was just spreading in other villages, with some people still alive.

Mianmian didn’t refuse; her Demon Soldiers were quick to act.

Everyone started treating people village by village, and since the townspeople couldn’t help, they didn’t go. They gathered together, grieved for their loved ones, and then tried to move on.

Once people were well-rested and had energy, they couldn’t help but gossip about the households here and there. The only recent big event in the town was the outbreak of the plague and demons coming to help.

Everyone was talking, asking questions.

"What’s the deal with these demons? Why suddenly do good deeds, and even save us?"

"Don’t know, I heard from my distant relatives that just last year, demons even clashed with the emperor, wanting to rule over the Human Realm."

"Which relative of yours even knows about the demons? We just live our lives, unaware of such matters."

The little old man, who happened to know a bit about the Former Demon Emperor attacking the Human Realm, started to recount everything he knew with vivid detail. Passers-by halted to listen, and when they heard that the Demon Emperor had originally fought with the human cultivators but was defeated by a little girl, someone slapped his thigh, "Isn’t the one saving us a little girl?"

"Hey, right, you’re onto something. Our savior is a little girl."

"She’s surrounded by demons, but she seems to be a little girl from the Human Race."

"That’s true; if she previously defeated the Demon Emperor attacking us, doesn’t that mean she is still on our side?"

"I don’t think you’re right about that; the little girl has a good relationship with the demons. Don’t they all obey her commands? Maybe she’s just benevolent."

"By God, you’ve hit the nail on the head; I also think the little girl is very kind."

When everyone was speaking of Mianmian’s kindness, suddenly, a man with sly eyes slammed the table and bellowed, "I think we’ve been deceived! This plague is mysterious, and they’re saving people in the guise of demons. Maybe they want us to feel indebted to demons so that when there’s another war, we’ll help them?"

No sooner had the man finished speaking than Liu Xi also slapped the table and stood up, "Who are you to talk like that? Did you forget who saved you when you were lying half-dead on the ground? What do you mean the plague was deliberately caused by our saviors? Did they cause it and then rescue us because they’ve got nothing better to do?"

The two started to argue in the street, rolling up their sleeves, ready to fight.

People around them began to murmur as they watched the imminent brawl.

We’re Humans; we’re supposed to listen to the Human Emperor," they reasoned.

Although Liu Xi won the fight, hearing the whispers around him that were no longer filled with gratitude for Mianmian, he felt indignant.

He had thought people in the town would be more insightful, but how could they be worse than a country bumpkin like him?

He knew the principle that one should repay a lifesaving grace, yet these people were speculating whether their lifesavers were up to no good—had they eaten too well?

Liu Xi believed that people shouldn’t act like this. Whenever he saw people discussing the matter, he would speak up for Mianmian.

But once the seed of doubt was sown, it couldn’t be dispelled by mere words. The discussion grew more intense, and some even suggested that the corpses of the deceased shouldn’t be cremated; they were evidence of the Demon Clan’s tampering.

They didn’t burn the bodies, but come nightfall, the corpses suddenly came back to life.
