After teasing the nun enough, the young man made sure to dress properly and behave appropriately when talking to the opposite sex.

"Well, someone actually took the initiative to come see me. This is the first time. What do you have to say, silly woman?"

The nun found a chair, wiped off some dust with her hand, and nervously sat down.

She asked, "Didn't Sister explain my purpose to you?"

"Sister? Oh, you mean Xiao Ying? I urged her to be concise, so she didn't say much except that a girl wanted to see me."

The nun had anticipated that she would be able to get straight to the point after meeting the leader of the demon clan, but now she realized that she had to start from scratch.

In order to make the other person patiently listen, she summarized the cause and purpose in one sentence:

"Please spare the nearby village. As a token of gratitude to you, I am willing to do anything for you!"

She didn't mention the people of the village, but it was the home where she had lived for many years, filled with her earliest memories with her family.

Based on her sentimental attachment, she didn't want the village to be devastated and become a wasteland for the demon clan.

On the other hand, as soon as the young man heard the crucial word "village," he immediately understood.

The young man knew that in the nearby area, there was only one small village, and it seemed that the girl in front of him had come from there and wanted to plead for her home.

How interesting!

The men and the other subordinates had never intended any harm to the village; otherwise, why would they wait for the other side to react? They would have attacked under the cover of darkness last night.

To tell the truth, this group of demons happened to be passing through this desolate place during their migration, without any malicious intent.

However, the paranoid people in the village acted as if a knife was at their throats and panicked on their own, even sending such a foolish and naive sacrificial lamb.

If the young man spoke honestly, the misunderstanding could be resolved on the spot, and the nun's anxious heart could be put at ease.

But the young man didn't intend to do so.

Was he foolish?

How could he let go of the opportunity to deceive such a naive and unsuspecting girl who didn't know the truth? How could he not take advantage of the wickedness brewing in his heart?

"A silly woman willing to do anything... seriously?"

The young man approached the nun, placed his hand on her head, and ran his fingers from her forehead to her face, gently tickling her with his short nails.

"If you're willing to do anything, does that mean you won't resist if I touch you right now?"

"No, please don't! I'm just a country girl, not worthy of your time, my hero."

In addition to the "good person card," "brother card," and "friend card" that existed in the world, this nun had developed a new type of card - the "hero card"!

Just like the encounters many chivalrous people face:

For example, a famous swordsman, seeing an injustice on his way, lends a helping hand to a family.

The swordsman also sees that the family's daughter is attractive and is about to say something, only to receive the response:

"A hero like you will find someone better one day..."

This was a kind of indirect warfare!

The nun's praise just now had a similar meaning.

The young man exposed her little scheme:

"To put it less politely, you're actually rejecting me, aren't you?"

The nun did not refute, but her action of wrapping her hands around her body became undoubtedly more firm than before. She said, "I am a clergy, I must maintain myself for the heavens, I cannot marry, let alone engage in such activities with the opposite sex."

"A clergy? No problem, I am your heaven! Keeping yourself for me, isn't that the reason?" The young man continued to joke, even until now.

But the nun didn't know that he was just teasing her and she earnestly grasped the cross.

What are the benefits of the cross?

Besides increasing one's sense of security, it could also serve as a blunt dagger, offering some protection.

Of course, if she were to encounter somebody unreasonable, this little trick would be of no use. It would be better to bare her teeth and bite.

Upon seeing the resolute stance of "swear to death not to yield", the young man laughed and his laughter made the nun even more puzzled.

"It seems like I was too eager. How about we both compromise? You, foolish woman, should seriously consider my proposal."

"Please continue."

There was no problem in having a conversation.

However, the nun's sense of vigilance remained evident.

With the lesson of her "exposed chest" in mind, she maintained a state of alertness, ready to defend against any potential surprise attacks.

Especially after the young man finished his sentence, the nun's defensive actions became even more intense.

"Foolish woman, do you want to stay with me for a few days? The meals and accommodations can be arranged according to your preferences."

"I came here to negotiate, I don't want to disturb you for too long at your home."

"Hmph, do you think negotiation and accommodation are two separate matters? Let me tell you: they are one and the same!"

According to the young man's proposal:

Starting from today, for a period of five days, the nun must stay on the mountain until the required duration is fulfilled.

After the five days, the young man would no longer disturb the village, and the nun could go anywhere without anyone stopping her.

"Foolish woman, you won't lose anything. All you need to do in these five days is to listen to my orders and act according to my will. How about it? Isn't my proposal fair?"

"Not at all fair. If you were to do something excessive to me, and then use this agreement to coerce me, wouldn't I have no choice but to let you bully me?"

"Then let's add a condition: the foolish woman must obey all my orders, except for anything related to intimacy."

As long as one delved into the depths of his mind, it was not difficult to understand that the young man wanted to find a roommate and playmate, to alleviate his own loneliness and also improve the girl's living conditions.

The young man thought the nun was too thin, other than her chest, it was impossible to see any flesh on her body, indicating long-term malnutrition. If she were to stay on the mountain and be given some flavorful food, it would surely improve her physical condition.

Why would the young man be so friendly and welcoming to a girl he met for the first time?

It was due to an inherent sense of kinship, after all:

"It's rare for me to come across a fellow countrywoman. If I don't take care of you attentively, I always feel guilty."

The young man leaned back in his chair, maintaining a delicate balance, supporting his body in mid-air.

In this posture, he crossed his legs and said a heartfelt word.

"A fellow countrywoman? Are you a person?" The nun widened her eyes in surprise, her pupils filled with endless incredulity.

Thinking that this foolish woman really didn't know how to speak, the young man lifted his arm and flicked her forehead with his finger.

Dong!

"Do you always think that I'm not human?"

"Yes, because you live with the demons and are respected as their leader by my sisters. So I assumed that you were also a demon and just looked like a human..."

"Hmph, does being the leader of the demons mean that I have to be a demon? Who made such a ridiculous rule?"

The boy raised his finger and pointed it back at himself, emphasizing the fact that he was human and revealed his background:

"The others in the team once said: during the famine in my hometown, my parents couldn't afford to raise a child, so they chose to abandon me. Due to natural disasters and man-made calamities, I was picked up and adopted by the others in the team when I was very young, and I never returned to human society since then."

Naturally, the nun was surprised by this:

"The demons are willing to adopt human children? This is the first time I've heard of such a thing."

"It's not strange. Just like how many people sometimes show kindness and bring stray animals home. I was just a joke to everyone at first, but now that I've become the leader, I lead them."

"How can a human command the demons? How did you manage to do that?"

"It's not difficult at all. My body became strong a few years ago. It was at that time when the team needed a leader. I won against all the opponents in an arm-wrestling competition, so I was elected as the leader."

Part of the demon clan emphasizes unity and knows that even in selecting a leader, they cannot fight to the death. They can only use a peaceful method. Arm-wrestling is a primitive sport that mainly relies on strength, strategy (which requires skillful use of force), and luck (a moment of extraordinary performance). Considering these three aspects, the boy eventually became the winner and gained the qualification to lead the demon clan.

After becoming the leader, the team had to undergo a major transformation:

Firstly, they couldn't rely on robbing passersby for food anymore and had to become self-sufficient.

If they wanted to eat something that runs on the ground, they would set traps to hunt rabbits and deer.

If they wanted to eat something flying in the sky, they would make slingshots to hunt birds or climb trees to get bird nests.

If they wanted to eat something swimming in the water, they would weave fishing nets for fishing.

From time to time, the boy would also teach his subordinates how to farm and plant crops including rice and corn.

Where did he acquire all this knowledge?

Have you seen those animal skins on the wall? The boy went to the human market and exchanged animal fur for various books, allowing himself to learn many survival skills. He had also read many books unrelated to survival, but he just didn't enjoy reading.

Under the boy's rule, this group of thousands of demons would migrate every few months for food, but they never caused any trouble for the people they encountered along the way.

Terms like "kind-hearted demons" and "representatives of conscience in the demon clan" describe them well.

At present, the boy looked straight at the nun and said:

"I've told you everything about my background. Are you willing to stay by my side and live on this mountain for a few days?"

For the sake of her homeland, the nun had no choice but to agree. However, compared to helplessness, the main emotion currently lingering in her heart was undoubtedly curiosity.

The nun had never seen an opposite sex individual mingling among the demon clan, and she was somewhat curious about the boy's character. She had a desire to get to know him.

This was a very dangerous signal.

Often, the most amazing results are borne out of curiosity like this.

Like the ignorant who opened Pandora's box, only they themselves know what fate awaits them.
