"With such harsh conditions, why should we risk death to obtain a hope that's so faint?"
Ming Yue flatly retorted to Hu Sanniang, really thinking they were fools or something, doomed if they fail, and if successful, they'd just end up as someone's lapdogs.
As for the supposedly righteous and noble Demon Race? Ha, if that were even possible, how could Hu Sanniang have come to assassinate Emperor Xuan and try to con these two rookies... no, youngsters who haven't even set out yet?
Hu Sanniang was momentarily stunned, wanting to say it was because her father is the Nine-tailed Demon Emperor, but the words got stuck in her throat.
She also realized that even if she went to her father for help, he would rather swallow Qing Feng and Ming Yue whole than genuinely help, and besides, her father is just a Demon Emperor, not the Demon Emperor, there's someone else above him.
