Lan Ge replied sorrowfully, "That's right, she was murdered by humans! She had unwittingly let her identity as a demibeast human slip. In the end, a group of self-righteous humans had murdered her with the excuse of killing off traitorous demons! She had been innocent. Why is the union between human and spiritual beast so intolerable? Should all demibeast humans be damned?"
Demibeast humans do exist on this mainland but their numbers were few and far in between. After all, it was rare for humans and spiritual beasts to fall in love. However, Gu Ruoyun never expected that there would be another reason behind the rare number of demibeast humans.
It was due to the existence of self-righteous men!
They always held the mindset that with all of the benefits a demihuman beast would receive from a union between human and spiritual beast, they would have terrifying power upon adulthood! Besides, demibeast humans were known to have explosive tempers. If left alone, they would bring calamity upon mankind!
"You had still fought today."

Lan Ge shook as he said, "Perhaps I believe that you have the power to help me."
"No." Gu Ruoyun shook her head. "The one with the power to help you isn't me, it's only you!"
Only I have the power to change myself?
Lan Ge stared at Gu Ruoyun in confusion, unable to comprehend the meaning behind her words.
"Being righteous? What exactly constitutes as being righteous?" Gu Ruoyun laughed icily as she continued, "Righteousness is determined by the victors! Do you think that those people had attacked demibeast humans purely because they wanted to stop demibeast humans from hurting humans? No! They were only doing it for themselves! Their ostensible purpose in hunting them is really to force demibeast humans into servitude. If the demibeast humans refuses, they would then kill them!"
Lan Ge shook and he lowered his head.
He knew that Gu Ruoyun was speaking the truth. After the young woman and revealed her identity as a demibeast human, people had come to look for her and asked her to vow her loyalty and devotion to them. It was because of her rejections that brought about her death in the end!
Unfortunately, at that time, he had not been by her side and was unable to protect her! By the time he had managed to rush over, he was met with her extremely cruel death...
Her body had been completely cleaned out!
Even her beasts had been taken away by the humans.
Every drop of blood from her body had been drained. Her eyes, fingers, internal organs, everything else had been cut out and taken away...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCould you imagine how horrifying her death was? To top it off, it was those self-righteous humans who had committed this act!
"Lan Ge, I'll only ask you this — do you want to be a coward or a formidable force, acknowledged by all?"
A coward? Or to be formidable?
Lan Ge's eyes displayed absolute determination, "I want to become formidable, I want to avenge her as well!"
"Alright, I'll give you the chance!" Gu Ruoyun smiled calmly, "However, you'd still need to work on it yourself! Next, I will give you your second assignment! I want you to build an organization in the shortest time possible. There's no need for you to give me a report on the progress but I want to see the results. During this period of time, I can supply you with medicine and spiritual weapons. I can even conceal your demibeast human aura!"
Medicine and spiritual weapons?
Lan Ge's eyes displayed a sense of shock. He then asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'd betray you after supplying me with these things?"
"Then why had you revealed your identity as a demibeast human to me? Aren't you afraid that I'd sell you out?" Gu Ruoyun calmly replied.
Hearing this, Lan Ge laughed in spite of his solemn air.
That's right. Since as I had the courage to tell her about my identity as a demibeast human, her reasons for granting me medicines and spiritual weapons are self-explanatory!
