In ancient times, they secretly became gods in the deep mountains.

Chapter 107 We beg Your Majesty to do us justice!

Gu Yuexi looked at the water mirror. Outside, the toad demon was crying bitterly, and the tiger demon was lying motionless on the ground with a face full of fear.

"You two are the only two demons in Yunmi Mountain?"

A female voice, ethereal and melodious, came from an unknown direction. The mere sound contained a powerful spiritual force that sent a chill down the toad demon's spine. He deeply felt the vast difference between himself and the Golden Saintess.

The toad demon, with a mournful face, kept begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, spare my life! This lowly demon was blind and offended you. Please have mercy and let me go like a fart."

Gu Yuexi's tone was indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger: "A few days ago, this Empress descended with her divine power to save all living beings here. Did you destroy this Empress's divine power?"

If he told the truth, would he have any chance of survival?

Instantly, the toad demon realized he couldn't speak!
His eyes darted around a few times, and he explained anxiously, "It's not a little demon, Your Majesty, you've got the wrong demon. I've been diligently cultivating, and after I was born half a year ago, I saw the suffering of the people, so I've been helping them ever since. I use my meager magic to get food and clean water from outside and share it with them."

"This little demon is wholeheartedly good. Your Majesty is saving all living beings on Yunmi Mountain. If the spiritual energy in the mountain recovers, it will also benefit this little demon. This little demon is not stupid. To destroy Your Majesty's divine powers would be to cut off my own path to survival!"

The toad was clever and flattering, showing no trace of his past arrogance in oppressing the people.

The people kneeling behind them grew anxious.

With the support of the Golden Saintess, they mustered their courage and began to fight the toad demon one by one.

Li Xiuhe kowtowed repeatedly and spoke first: "Your Majesty, please be aware that this toad spirit is not as kind as he claims. Every time we trade with him, we have to cut off our own or our relatives' flesh and blood. One pound of flesh and blood can only be exchanged for three days' worth of food at most. After three days, we have to cut off another pound of flesh and blood to trade with him again."

"If they don't go to trade, he will have the tigers around him remind the people to go up the mountain."

"When we went up the mountain to worship the goddess, he took us to Toad Ridge on our way down. If the fairy boy hadn't appeared in time, we would have been forced into a transaction."

Other people also complained.

"Yes, yes, the toad demon just treats us as food. He's not a kind monster at all."

“Last time I exchanged grain, I cut off my own flesh and blood. He still complained that my flesh was too old and tough, and asked us to cut off my grandson's flesh for him. When I refused, he made an outrageous demand and forced me to cut off two pounds of flesh and blood, saying that my flesh was of poor quality and taste, and that two pounds of flesh could only be exchanged for one pound of grain.”

"Your Majesty, please do justice for us. The toad demon is wicked and vicious. He previously stipulated that we must exchange grain every three to seven days, or he would have his tiger devour our entire family. We had no choice but to continue exchanging with him."

"Your Majesty, please grant us justice!"

"Your Majesty, please save us from suffering and bring salvation to all living beings. Please do not release the toad demon, or he will devour our entire town of Xiahe."

"The town now has less than three thousand people, but tens of thousands have died. Of these tens of thousands, half died during the three-year drought, and the other half were eaten by toad demons within six months."

"Uuuuuu——"

The people knelt on the ground, wailing and crying.

The toad spirit was furious. These cunning and foolish mortals called him the Great Toad Immortal when they were trading with him, but now that they have other backers, they call him the Toad Spirit. What an ungrateful bunch of opportunists!

He angrily cursed, "You heartless mortals! It wasn't easy for me to get those grains and water. This Yunmi Mountain is even wider and more expansive than the Ten Thousand Mountains to the south. After the drought, it's full of poisonous creatures and miasma, with treacherous peaks and cliffs everywhere, fraught with danger. What's wrong with me eating some of your flesh and blood? Am I wronging you?"

The toad demon's eyes gleamed with malevolent energy, causing the people to cower in fear.

Gu Yuexi said, "Your body is brimming with blood energy; you probably ate more than just the people of Xiahe Town, didn't you?"

The toad demon's breath caught in his throat, and he broke out in a cold sweat: "Your Majesty is joking. This little demon's magic is weak. I am just a toad demon who is only six hundred years old. Although I have more than a thousand years of cultivation due to the blessings of heaven and earth, my true age is still there. It is already difficult enough for me to survive in Yunmi Mountain. How could I go outside to eat people?"

Gu Yuexi noticed his nervousness at a glance and said, "You shouldn't be a monster from Yunmi Mountain. The tiger demon beside you is also a toad in disguise. Not only have you eaten human blood, but he has also done a lot of bad things while following you."

The tiger demon hadn't expected the fire to spread to him. He whimpered and trembled as he replied, "Your Majesty, spare my life..."

“Your Majesty, the relationship between this demon and the mortals is a fair trade. Although I force them to cut off their flesh and blood to feed me, they also receive food and clean water. It’s a mutually beneficial relationship between the demon and the mortals in the town.”

The toad spirit knew he was no match for the mysterious Golden Saintess, so he begged for mercy.

However, in his heart he wished he could curse Jin Sheng Niangniang to the point of being bloodied and bruised.

That nosy bastard.

If it weren't for her, he could have eaten the mortals in the town at will. He could have increased his strength by eating their blood and refined the dragon's half of its demon core sooner, so that it could replace the dragon and become the strongest being in Yunmi Mountain!
hateful!

"Please, Your Majesty, spare my life!"

"This little demon...this little demon is willing to submit to Your Majesty, to become Your Majesty's demon slave, to obey Your Majesty's orders from now on, to do good and to atone for my sins."

"To be honest, Your Majesty, I am not a demon originally from Yunmi Mountain. During the three-year drought, I came to Yunmi Mountain in search of a way to survive and was taken in as a demon slave by an eight-thousand-year-old dragon."

"During the severe drought, the spiritual energy was scarce, causing the dragon to fail in its transformation and die. I obtained half of its demon core, which is how I gained over a thousand years of cultivation. If Your Majesty takes me in, I am willing to follow Your Majesty's lead."

The toad spirit suddenly thought of a brilliant way to save its life.

The creature before us is probably an ancient monster that has lived for countless years.

As long as you submit to her, you can not only save your life, but also learn the old monster's supernatural powers and become an even more powerful monster.

His eyes shone brightly as he looked at the Golden Sacred Gate.

Living here must be more comfortable than living in his Toad Ridge Ink Pool.

Gu Yuexi scoffed, "Toad spirit, you are not only vicious by nature, but you have also ruined my divine powers. Do you think you still have a chance to live? How many mortals will suffer if you are left in the mortal world? It is such a waste of your great fortune. If you had focused on cultivation and not eaten the flesh and blood of mortals, refining the inner core of a dragon would have made you more than twice as powerful as other demons of the same age. After cultivating for several thousand more years, you might even have a chance to become a demon immortal."

"But you have harmed the people, and your greed and willfulness have ruined your future. Everything is your own fault."

"what!"

Upon hearing her words, the toad demon realized that his death was imminent.

I was shocked in an instant.

His eyes widened: "You..."

A powerful spiritual force directly entered his dantian, and a deep purple demon core was extracted. The toad let out a shrill scream, its body twisted, and it instantly exploded into ashes.

The tiger demon gasped, a chill running down its spine. Its pupils widened, and a fear as if it had fallen into hell swept over its entire body.

The king is dead!

Its head hit the ground with a thud.

Gu Yuexi used her spiritual power to probe.

The tiger demon... no, it was a toad spirit that possessed the body of a dying tiger. Even after becoming a tiger, the toad spirit, whose cultivation was still low, was scared to death by its own demon core ruptured.

They saw that the toad demon and the tiger demon were dead.

The people were astonished by the divine power of the Golden Saint Goddess. Overjoyed, they raised their arms and cheered excitedly: "Goddess, you save us from suffering and your power is boundless! We are willing to worship you for generations to come!"
