God of Pets-Chapter 694: A Truly Good Man

Chen Guan watched as Fu Tianji approached step by step, feeling a mix of emotions.

This Fu Tianji, who had transformed into the Demon King, seemed a bit different from the Fu Tianji of the past, but Chen Guan couldn't quite say what the difference was.

Chen Guan was somewhat worried. Since Fu Tianji hadn't become the outcast he imagined him to be, could it be that he had already remembered the past?

If he had remembered the past, he might be here to kill him now.

"In my current form, can he recognize me?" Chen Guan's mind was in turmoil, unsure if this was fortune or misfortune.

Both of his Secret Collections had already been used, and against Fu Tianji's strength, of what remained, only Empty Leaf might be able to fight.

If luck wasn't on his side and Empty Leaf failed, whether he could defeat Fu Tianji would be up to fate.

Fortunately, with Jin Taohua present, the two of them against one should provide an advantage.

As Chen Guan was pondering, Fu Tianji had already walked up close, seemingly without the intention to attack, just staring at him.

Jin Taohua gripped the Peach Blossom Sword tightly. She had seen Fu Tianji's combat abilities and didn't have full confidence in defeating him. If it came to a fight, the outcome was uncertain.

The people below were all watching the Demon King, feeling extremely tense. If the Demon King and Zi Donglai fought again, another bloody storm would follow.

Particularly Mo Qingtian and his group, who were especially fearful, afraid of the fight starting again, and afraid Zi Donglai wouldn't let them leave.

"Do you recognize me?" The Demon King looked at Chen Guan and uttered these words, leaving everyone in a state of confusion.

At this moment, what was the meaning of these words from the Demon King? Who wouldn't recognize the infamous Great Demon King?

But the Night King and others suddenly remembered that before it all started, Zi Donglai seemed to have mentioned feeling the Demon King resembled an old acquaintance, or something along those lines—though they couldn't recall the exact words, the general idea seemed to be it.

"Yes, I recognize you." Hearing these words from Zi Donglai, Chen Guan felt much of his tension dissipate.

As long as Zi Donglai hadn't recalled the past, it didn't matter.

However, seeing him now, with his restored human-like reasoning abilities, Chen Guan was amazed, wondering how he had achieved it.

He had never heard of someone using the Undying Ghost and being able to recover.

"Who am I?" Fu Tianji continued to ask.

Though he had become the Demon King of Demon King City, he still couldn't remember who he was. Yet, the moment he saw Zi Donglai, something deep within his soul told him this person was important, and he couldn't let anyone kill him.

But why this was so, he couldn't understand or remember.

"You are my comrade," Chen Guan said sincerely. "We fought together, experienced life-and-death battles. You even sacrificed yourself to save me. You are my most reliable comrade and my most important partner."

Those words left everyone in a daze.

Especially those from the Celestial Void Palace, whose faces turned pale.

Only now did they realize why the Demon King Army turned against them; that Zi Donglai had such a connection with the Demon King.

Gong Xuancheng hiring the Demon King to kill Zi Donglai was beyond reckless—it was the height of stupidity.

But who could have imagined the Demon King had such a connection with Zi Donglai?

"Is that so?" The Demon King continued to ask, looking into Chen Guan's eyes.

He felt it might be true, yet something seemed amiss. However, Chen Guan's sincere gaze convinced him it wasn't a lie.

It certainly wasn't a lie. Fu Tianji indeed fought alongside him, protecting him at the cost of his own life.

As for the reasons behind it, you didn't ask, and I didn't tell. If you choose to believe we were that close, that's your perspective, but I wasn't lying.

Chen Guan's face was full of sincerity as he continued, "Old friend, can you stay?"

Fu Tianji didn't answer, just looked at Chen Guan and continued to ask, "What is my name?"

Chen Guan didn't answer either. He drifted over to Fu Tianji, took his hand, and within his palm, he wrote the characters for Fu Tianji.

Fu Tianji, in his quest to discover his true identity, had searched through much human history and knew who Fu Tianji was.

He never imagined he could actually be Fu Tianji.

"So...I was never a good person…" A look of disappointment flashed in Fu Tianji's eyes.

By chance, he entered Demon King City and became its City Lord, but he always believed he should be human.

And the reason he became Demon King City Lord was that he wanted to use his abilities to restrain the Demons. Though he couldn't change their nature, he could use power and rules to bind them, channeling their power for good deeds.

So Fu Tianji always believed he must have been a good person.

But now, discovering he wasn't a good person in the past and was actually a thief, a sense of loss hit him.

Fu Tianji had no doubt about what Chen Guan said. He had an inexplicable feeling he was indeed Fu Tianji.

This feeling hadn't emerged before meeting Chen Guan.

Previously, even when he saw records about Fu Tianji, he felt nothing.

"Am I a good person?" Fu Tianji asked Chen Guan, clinging to a last hope.

The scene and dialogue seemed peculiarly strange to everyone else.

The Great Demon King of Demon King City, asking someone if he was a good person—was that a question anyone would ever ask?

The Night King and others feared that if Zi Donglai answered no, the Demon King might get angry and start another battle.

"Don't speak the truth, for heaven's sake, don't speak the truth," the Night King and fellow Demon Generals inwardly prayed.

They themselves didn't believe there could be a good person among the Demons, especially such a brutal Demon King. His methods in Demon King City were ruthlessly decisive.

"Of course, you're a good person, and a great one at that," Chen Guan stated as if it were obvious.

The Night King and his counterparts heaved a sigh of relief, feeling a weight lifted off their chests.

"Really?" Fu Tianji could hardly believe it—how could Fu Tianji be a great good person?

"Of course it's true. If you weren't a great good person, how could you sacrifice yourself to save others? Most people wouldn't care about others, and even an ordinary good person wouldn't sacrifice themselves for others. You could sacrifice yourself to save me. If that doesn't make you a great good person, then there are truly no good people in the world," Chen Guan confidently told Fu Tianji. "You are a great good person, just misunderstood by some. But anyone who truly understands you knows you're truly a great good person."

To others, Chen Guan's words seemed utterly nonsensical.

Yet, light gradually filled Fu Tianji's eyes.
