Ning Shu caught a rabbit, then skinned it and roasted it over a fire. She even sprinkled some spices on it, making the oil that dripped from it incredibly fragrant.

  Her hand spun the stick that the rabbit was on.

  She had just sparred with the boss of this territory, a monster with power equivalent to the tribulation stage. In the end, they reached a tie.

  Ning Shu had suffered some injuries, but that demonic beast was beaten by her until it was just as miserable.

  Suddenly, Ning Shu’s ears twitched. She noticed that people were approaching.

  She saw that the rabbit was ready, so she grabbed it and gnawed on it and she set off to see what was going on.

  Ning Shu crouched down on a tree branch and saw that a group of people were currently chasing a young boy who looked about fifteen.

  There were bloodstains on his body. He was clearly injured, but he still continued running desperately.

  Ning Shu saw only a tiny bit of spiritual fluctuation on the boy’s body. He clearly hadn’t started cultivating yet.

  The people who were chasing him were most likely some low-level cultivators. They probably hadn’t built their foundations yet.

  The boy in front was quickly overtaken and surrounded by the cultivators.

  The boy’s expression was dark as he faced them warily. The loose hair at his forehead covered his eyes.

  “Evil creature of the demon race, surrender your life!” shouted a cultivator as he rushed towards the boy with a compass-like weapon.

  Ning Shu, who was squatting on the tree and gnawing on the rabbit at the moment, was taken aback. She sized up the boy carefully. Demon race?

  The boy pursed his lips tightly and glared at the person who was rushing towards him with the intent to kill. His eyes were dark, looking as if the whole world had wronged him, so he wanted to destroy the whole world like a chuunibyou.

  One of the cultivators holding a sword chanted a spell and his sword danced in the air as it shot towards the boy. The boy wanted to dodge, but he was held down by the other cultivators.

  A look of despair flashed across his face. His whole body started to emit demonic energy. It seemed like he was hoping that he could attack these people with it.

  But compared with real demons, the demonic energy in his body was like the glow of a firefly versus the bright, luminescent moon.

  Ning Shu threw out the bone that she had gnawed clean, and it hit the sword that was going to pierce the boy. The sword was directly sent flying, and it got stuck deep in a tree trunk.

  This sudden situation shocked everyone below. The cultivators looked everywhere, shouting, “Who’s there? Show yourself!”


  The boy released a deep breath and started to look around too.

  Ning Shu was on the tree branch, wiping off the grease from her fingers. After she finished, she hopped down from the tree.

  When the cultivators saw that Ning Shu was a girl, they immediately sneered. “Mind your own business! Otherwise, we’ll kill you along with him.”


  The boy felt despair when he saw Ning Shu. He had thought that it was some expert, but it was actually just a girl who wasn’t even as tall as him.

  “Why do you guys want to kill him?” asked Ning Shu.

  “Scram! That isn’t something you need to know. If you still don’t leave, don’t blame us for not being polite and making you our cultivation furnace.” One of the cultivators eyed Ning Shu’s body lecherously.

  Ning Shu expressionlessly released her spiritual energy and slapped that cultivator in the face with it. That cultivator was sent crashing into a tree. As he slid down the ground, he had to spit out a few teeth from his mouth.

  The other cultivators’ expression changed upon seeing that Ning Shu was this powerful.

  “Senior cultivator, this person is a bastard of the demon race. Every single demon is a criminal that should be punished to death. Please forgive us for disturbing you.” Ning Shu had just defeated one of their most powerful people effortlessly.

  They realized that Ning Shu couldn’t be provoked, so they softened their attitude.

  Ning Shu looked at the boy. When the boy met Ning Shu’s gaze, he pursed his lips tightly and his expression was extremely gloomy. He looked just like a troublemaking teenager.

  When one of the cultivators saw Ning Shu looking at the boy, he immediately said, “Senior, this person is a half-demon, half-human. His mother was raped by a low-level demon and she actually chose to give birth to him secretly. This person has committed all the misdeeds possible. He causes unimaginable chaos everywhere he goes, so the villagers asked us to get rid of this disaster.”
