Ning Shu felt that the spiritual energy in this house was pretty dense. She sat cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate.

  The surrounding spiritual energy rushed towards Ning Shu.

  She didn’t know how long she had cultivated, but when she opened her eyes again and inspected the inside of her dantian, she found that the spiritual energy had formed a golden coiling dragon.

  Vivid and lifelike, it looked just like a real dragon. When it sensed Ning Shu’s spirit consciousness, it even went up to bump against her consciousness.

  Ning Shu was a little surprised. Did this thing have its own consciousness?”


  There was a knock on the door. Ning Shu got down from the bed and opened the door to see Qing Yue standing there.

  “Are you done cultivating? It’s time to eat dinner,” said Qing Yue.

  Ning Shu followed Qing Yue to the main hall. There was a table full of dishes, all meat.

  Ning Shu: →_→


  Ning Shu sat down and started eating from the dishes on the table. Qing Yue raised his brow. “Aren’t you cultivators supposed to abstain from eating?”


  “Cultivators, cultivators. Cultivators are also people.” Don’t people live for food?

  Qing Yue drank his seawater and nodded. “That makes sense.”


  Every time Ning Shu saw Qing Yue drink seawater, she felt more and more disillusioned. “Are you a demonic beast from the sea?”


  “Yes.”


  “What were you originally?” asked Ning Shu.

  Qing Yue tilted his head. “Guess.”


  Ning Shu: …


  Ning Shu couldn’t be bothered to ask anymore. If he didn’t want to say it, then it was fine.

  Suddenly, Ning Shu’s body stiffened, due to the seal in her dantian slowly activating.

  The seal activated, making her body suddenly explode with pain.

  Ning Shu promptly sat down cross-legged on the ground, enduring the pain. Her body started to emit demonic energy.

  Qing Yue created a barrier that covered the whole house to prevent others from discovering the demonic energy on Ning Shu’s body.

  Ning Shu furiously cursed the bastard that placed the seal on her in her heart. Just you wait!

  The seal gradually receded into her dantian and disappeared. It had been so painful that her entire body was covered with cold sweat.

  Ning Shu grabbed a cup of water from the table and gulped it down in one go.

  “Are you a demon?” Qing Yue looked at Ning Shu and then shook his head. “Mixed.”


  “You have a demonic seal on you,” said Qing Yue.

  Ning Shu looked at him. “You even know about the demonic seal.”


  Qing Yue smiled. “When I first gained my human form, the demon race didn’t exist in this world yet. The demon race appeared later.”


  Ning Shu: (⊙０⊙)

  Old monster.

  In Xiao Susu’s memories, the demon race had existed for who knows how long, but now Qing Yue was saying that the demon race didn’t exist before.

  “Do you remember how old you are?” asked Ning Shu, the corner of her mouth twitching.

  Qing Yue shook his head. “I don’t remember.”


  “My current form has gone through countless years of learning. Learning from the human race, and learning from the demon race.”


  “The Heavenly Dao gave the demonic beasts powerful bodies, but it didn’t give them intelligence.”


  Ning Shu said admiringly, “You’re very powerful.”


  Qing Yue smiled. “It’s just a lucky coincidence that I got to awaken my intelligence.”


  “The Heavenly Dao is formless, bringing into being the heavens and earth. The Heavenly Dao is emotionless, revolving the sun and the moon. The Heavenly Dao is nameless, nourishing all things. This world has humans, but it also has demonic beasts and demons appear in order to keep the humans in check. Only with balance, can stability be maintained.”


  Ning Shu listened to those incomprehensible words and asked, “Then, is there a way to undo the seal on my body?”


  Qing Yue nodded. “There is a way.”


  “How do I undo it?” Ning Shu asked excitedly. If she could undo the seal, then her life would no longer be like a plaything trapped in her demon father’s hands.

  Qing Yue looked at Ning Shu and said, “This seal requires the fresh blood of a demon. According to what I’ve learnt before, as long as I have the fresh blood of a demon, I can help you undo it.”


  F*ck, she still had to f*cking go back to the demon race to find that father of hers.

  “Let’s spar.” Ning Shu wanted to see how powerful she was right now. She wanted to check whether she would end up being sucked dry like in the original storyline if she went back to the demon race.

  “You can’t beat me.” Qing Yue shook his head.

  “I know I can’t beat you. I just want to know how strong I am now,” said Ning Shu, feeling a little speechless.
