Chapter 1025: She Doesn’t Belong Here

The Demon Realm was a bit shocked. How could a child say something like that? Totally not easy to fool.

This kid is interesting, knowing how to negotiate. This human’s actions are truly unexpected.

However, no matter how surprising, in the end, he’s just a child, with extremely limited considerations—but why not?

“The little girl beside you does not belong to your world. To put it simply, her body belongs here, but her soul does not. Does this theory sound difficult for you to understand?”

“Not at all. It’s that her body belongs to the human realm, and her soul belongs to you guys. So, she won’t die from inhaling the demonic aura. In reality, the original her is already dead. The current her is not the original her but has taken over this body.”

Lin Nuo rambled off a bunch of speculations. It wasn’t random; it was all from his own experiences.

Just like him, his soul crossed over, replacing the original soul. And in the Demon Realm, the original body is hard to get out, so generally, they let their souls escape and find a suitable body to inhabit.

Makes sense.

That’s also why the little girl feels it’s dangerous here—she escaped from this place!

But it seems she’s lost her original memories. Perhaps the person who helped her escape wanted her to start anew and not think about her previous world.

They might as well send her to be reincarnated; that would truly give her a fresh start.

Of course, this is just his speculation.

The Opponent was surprised, thinking this little brat wouldn’t understand, yet he could actually deduce things.

What kind of background does this kid have? He can’t be some ancient sage, right?

“Kid, how old are you?” The Opponent asked.

“Theoretically, eight years old.”

“Theoretically? What does that mean?”

“You wouldn’t understand; it’s not worth explaining more.”

Lin Nuo chuckled, this was an eye for an eye, using magic to defeat magic, showing that he’s not to be underestimated.

“Hehe, interesting little child. Most of what you said is correct; she really is inhabiting a human body. So, inhaling the demonic aura won’t kill her. But how are you still alive? You aren’t from the Demon Realm either.”

“That’s none of your business. Just say it plainly—what can she do to help you open that crack? How can we escape? Be clear, and maybe we can collaborate.”

Lin Nuo raised a chilling smile, that kind of aura was far from something an innocent child could project.

The little girl was very scared. She was starting to doubt herself. Is this big brother really a good person? Will he hand her over to them?

Though she couldn’t remember what happened before, her instincts told her that the people from the crack were the big bad guys; she must not fall into their hands!

“Hehe, child, if you grow up, you’ll definitely be an excellent negotiator. She’s just a fallen princess from some nation in the Demon Realm. But she has a unique ability that, combined with our magic tools, can completely open this crack, allowing us to enter the human realm. Of course, we don’t hold hostility toward all humans; we respect talent. Like you—you’re impressive, and we’d be happy to nurture you. In the future, power and wealth will be at your disposal.”

“Combine with magic tools? Planning to sacrifice her as an offering? To complete opening the passage?”

“As long as you understand.”

“So that’s it, didn’t expect she had that kind of use too.”

Lin Nuo chuckled, realizing there was such a remarkable figure near his birthplace.

“Yes, so now that you know, we can collaborate. Just hand her over to us, and we can complete the final ritual.” The Opponent continued.

“I’m curious, if you’re so capable, how did you let her escape?” Lin Nuo asked again.

“It was her ministers who vowed to send her out, using their unique soul walking technique. They all died, and we couldn’t succeed in our ritual. Child, since you know her origins, I suggest you stay away from her; otherwise, she’ll harm you by draining your energy until death.”

“Is that so?”

Lin Nuo turned his gaze toward the little girl, sizing her up.

The little girl was increasingly terrified and spoke in a weak voice:

“Big brother… please… please don’t hand me over to them…”

This was her desperate plea. To be honest, if it were advantageous for Lin Nuo, he might indeed hand her over.

As a villain, there was no need to be merciful to a bystander little girl.

However, there was no profit to be gained from this transaction; the adult version of him wouldn’t make a deal, let alone the child version. If they came in, how could he resist them?

It was enough; he had already gained insights; at least he knew this little girl’s origins.

With that, he possessed a bargaining chip against the Demon Realm. Who knows if she has any other strange powers that could be exploited?

Hand her over to the Demon Realm? Joke.

“Child, I think you won’t be interested in her, right? Perhaps her appearance is lovely, but she’s just a human body. If you really like her, we can keep this body. Later, we’ll let another soul inhabit it, and she’ll be devoted to you.”

“I say, do you think it’s appropriate to offer such conditions to a child? Alright, I see that this crack won’t hold for much longer. Thank you for the information; we may never meet again.”

With that, Lin Nuo turned around, ready to take the little girl away.

“Wait!”

The Opponent panicked, quickly calling out for Lin Nuo to stop,

“What conditions do you want? We can do our best to meet them! She doesn’t belong to your world; what’s the use of keeping her? Why not cooperate with us for your benefit?”

“Sorry, since you think she’s so important, then to me, she’s even more important.”

Lin Nuo smiled coldly, pulling the little girl’s hand and walking away without looking back.

“Damn brat! Played!”

The Demon Realm was furious; this was outright trickery!

But they had no way around it; now separated by that crack, they could only seethe and curse, but could do nothing.

However, Lin Nuo was mistaken; the state of the crack would last a long time—it wouldn’t disappear, only wouldn’t widen, unless they closed it, then it would vanish completely.

The demonic aura leaking from that ancient magic tool would cause irrevocable devastation to this mountain. First, people and animals would die, then trees and flowers, and ultimately, the soil would be completely eroded.

“Think of another way, quickly find the next suitable offering!”

The Opponent had no choice but to search for another offering, but if this method were feasible, they wouldn’t need Lin Nuo’s help.

“Big brother, thank you…”

The little girl was extremely grateful to Lin Nuo for not handing her over.

“Hehe.”

Lin Nuo smiled; did you really think I’m a good person? It’s just that there’s not enough interest.

As Lin Nuo was leaving, he spotted another little girl running over to their side.
