Chapter 397: Hualing's Past
Other people might think that Hua Ling had ulterior motives, but Zhao Mu could clearly see her favorability level.
She had just said that she would marry him, and her favorability level had already exceeded 95. Zhao Mu estimated that she would only need a little help to reach 100.
With this favorability level, Zhao Mu could already completely trust Hua Ling.
She was grateful to Zhao Mu from the bottom of her heart. There was no mistake about that.
Zhao Mu smiled slightly and reached out to touch Hua Ling's head. "I will consider it, but now is not the time to talk about marriage. Hurry up and calm down. Don't let the little demons see you as a joke."
After being reminded by Zhao Mu, Hua Ling also realized that this was not the right time.
She quickly stood up and glanced around. Indeed, she found that many little demons were avoiding her gaze.
Obviously, they had seen her lose her composure just now.
Hua Ling was not a kind person.
If it were not for Zhao Mu, and she was worried that it would damage her image, none of these little demons would have survived today.
As a half-human, half-demon, she had fought her way up to her current status in the Demon Clan. Strength and talent alone were not enough. She also had to be ruthless enough. Over the years, Hua Ling had killed countless demons along the way.
Especially when she was promoted to the position of the Elephant Clan's Saintess. Even with her master's support, she was still bullied and threatened.
However, Hua Ling did not retreat because of that. In those few years, she killed until the sky darkened. It was also after that that Hua Ling's reputation spread completely within the Demon Clan. She was labeled as someone not to be trifled with by many demon cultivators.
How could she, who had always been arrogant and conceited, allow news of her losing her composure to spread?
Hua Ling had already secretly made up her mind.
The best ending for these little demons was to stay in this dangerous place forever.
Of course, she could not let Brother Hu Mu see it.
At least in front of him, she could not reveal even a trace of her brutality. Otherwise, if she scared him away, where would she find him?
After greeting the big demons with her eyes, Hua Ling put on an obedient and gentle smile and intimately held Zhao Mu's arm.
"Brother Hu Mu, let's go together. Hua Ling wants to know more about Brother Hu Mu."
Feeling the girl's broad chest squeezing him, Zhao Mu smiled and nodded. "Then let's talk while we walk."
Just like that, Zhao Mu and Hua Ling walked at the front of the group, chatting and laughing along the way. The atmosphere was getting warmer and warmer.
Perhaps it was because she was facing someone she liked, Hua Ling was very proactive throughout the whole process. She was almost defenseless against Zhao Mu. In just a short while, Zhao Mu had almost completely investigated her life experience.
The girl's childhood could only be described as tragic.
Her father was an ordinary cultivator, and her mother was a flower demon in the depths of the Thousand Demons Forest. Due to an accident, she had wandered into the human race and was saved by Hua Ling's father. The two of them fell in love and gave birth to Hua Ling.
But after that, Hua Ling's mother was taken back by her clansmen. Her father had been in the dark for many years because of that. But because Little Hua Ling's half-human half-demon identity was exposed, she was ostracized by the clan. The father and daughter were banished.
After that, Hua Ling's father brought her all the way to the Demon Forest to search for Hua Ling's birth mother.
But the Demon Forest was very dangerous for a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He did not make it through the outer area and was eaten by the wolves.
Although Hua Ling was not eaten by the wolves because of her half-demon identity, she was a little girl of two or three years old who wandered alone in the Demon Forest. What good things could happen to her?
She had spent her childhood in countless dangerous and hopeless situations.
Walking on the line of life and death countless times, Hua Ling had a strong will to survive and fighting instinct.
In addition, her talent was outstanding and her comprehension was superb. When she was young, she made a name for herself in the Thousand Demon Forest and gathered many demon cultivators as her underlings. In the end, she was in the limelight in the trial organized by the Elephant Ancestor and was taken in as an exception by the Elephant Ancestor as his last disciple. She truly embarked on the path of a powerhouse.
Today, Hua Ling was already a peak powerhouse in the Ninth Heaven of the Tribulation Stage. In the entire Thousand Demon Forest, she was second only to the Heavenly Supremes. She could be said to be successful and had a bright future.
However, as a half-human half-demon, Hua Ling did not dare to slack off. She had never stopped cultivating and honing her skills in battle.
She had to rely on herself for everything. Only strength would not betray her.
This was Hua Ling's truest thought.
In fact, Hua Ling did not have any sense of belonging to the demon race because of certain things.
However, Hua Ling had always hidden this deep in her heart. Even her Supreme Elephant Ancestor did not know.
However, Hua Ling told Zhao Mu these secrets without holding back. This meant that she had completely trusted Zhao Mu.
At first glance, this Saintess Hua Ling seemed to be a little love-struck. Once she liked someone, she would unconditionally give up everything she had.
However, Zhao Mu did not think that she was really stupid.
On the contrary, she was actually more shrewd than Zhao Mu expected.
She was very smart and knew how to judge the situation. She also had a very sharp eye for people.
Therefore, she knew very well that Zhao Mu was not an ordinary person. He could easily kill a Divine Skeleton. This was something that many Heavenly Supremes could not do.
This was the prerequisite for her to unconditionally fall in love with Zhao Mu.
Without this prerequisite, no matter how outstanding Zhao Mu's looks were or how extraordinary his temperament was, she would never be completely devoted to him.
Although he knew that Hua Ling had a motive for getting close to him, Zhao Mu did not mind.
People could not escape the word 'benefit' when interacting with each other.
Moreover, the Favorability was real and could not be faked.
On the contrary, Zhao Mu preferred this kind of straightforward feeling.
'If you want something from me, I don't mind raising another loyal woman. Why not?'
This kind of simple but reliable network was most suitable for Zhao Mu.
"After talking so much, I still don't know about you, Brother Mu. I heard that most of the Fox Clan has surrendered to the Saint Prime Devil Sect. Did Brother Mu come from the Devil Sect?"
Zhao Mu smiled and said, "You're right. The God Ancestor of the Fox Clan is in the Devil's Doctrine. If we want to strengthen our clan, joining the Devil's Doctrine is the best choice."
"I heard that the Devil Sect's humans and demons coexist peacefully and harmoniously. I wonder if that's true?"
"Of course, I feel that with your status, Hua Ling, it would be quite suitable for you to join the Devil Sect. Are you interested? I can recommend you."
Hua Ling's eyes flickered. She was obviously tempted.
A sect where both the human and demon races could coexist was the most suitable for her.
However, Hua Ling was not in a hurry to agree.
"I'm still the Saintess of the Elephant Clan at the moment. Master has cultivated me, so I can't betray him. But I think there will be a chance soon. When the time comes, I will go to the Devil's Sect and ask Brother Mu to recommend me," Hua Ling said longingly.
Zhao Mu nodded and did not continue to delve into this topic.
The most important thing right now was to find the Divine Temple and obtain the golden divine bone, lest others beat him to it.
