100: Chapter 100 Demon Race

While the martial brothers were frolicking there, Lu Yuan, who was outside the Tower, slowly raised his eyes to look at Ling Yichen.

There was actually quite a bit of shock in his eyes.

To be able to cultivate on the Tenth Floor of the Tower for a day and a night without being exhausted, and looking at his condition, his Mental Energy seemed to still be quite full.

A monster!

Lu Yuan couldn't help but marvel at Ling Yichen's talent.

He suddenly said softly, "From now on, whenever you want to come here to cultivate, you can come find me at any time!"

Hearing this, Ling Yichen was overjoyed and immediately bowed respectfully to Lu Yuan, "Thank you, Senior Uncle!"

Long Daoyi also followed suit and bowed, "Thank you, Senior Uncle!"

Lu Yuan just smiled, said nothing more, and closed his eyes again.

Seeing this, the two did not feel comfortable disturbing him further and turned to walk outside.

After leaving the small world, Long Daoyi immediately said to Ling Yichen, "Although your Mental Energy still seems to have a surplus, don't rush to cultivate the Dragon Capturing Nine Desolations after you go back. The acceleration of the Tower will make your cultivation progress very quickly, but the more this is the case, the less you can be greedy for success and advance rashly. You must give yourself enough time to polish your foundation, consolidate your realm, and solidify your realm so that you can go further!"

"Okay!"

Ling Yichen thanked him and then parted ways with Long Daoyi.

Not long after walking, a figure suddenly emerged from a corner, blocking Ling Yichen's path.

Ling Yichen, however, was not surprised at all, because he had already discovered her.

"Teacher Yuan, are you looking for me for something?"

Ling Yichen knew she was waiting here specifically for him, which is why he asked that.

Yuan Qing raised her eyes to look at Ling Yichen, her eyes full of curiosity.

"You knew I was waiting for you?"

Ling Yichen smiled slightly without responding.

"How do you have its aura on you?"

Yuan Qing frowned slightly.

Because she felt the aura of the Immortal Deer on Ling Yichen.

There was no helping it; she had soaked in the Immortal Deer blood pool for a hundred years and was most familiar with the aura of the deer corpse. Even though it had already been stored within the spiritual sea of consciousness, she could still feel a trace of it.

Ling Yichen raised an eyebrow.

He had already learned from Long Daoyi that Yuan Qing was Lu Yuan's disciple; in other words, they could actually be considered to have a senior sister and junior brother relationship.

Precisely because of this, his awkwardness toward Yuan Qing had lessened quite a bit.

Before Ling Yichen could speak, Yuan Qing spoke again, "Forget it, it must have been Master who took you to the blood pool. I only came to remind you that you do not yet have the ability to protect Qingzhu, so I advise you to keep a certain distance from her, lest the Six Great Families act against you and cause unnecessary harm."

"Qingzhu?"

Ling Yichen looked at Yuan Qing in surprise.

Yuan Qing seemed to sense Ling Yichen's thoughts and immediately said, "Qingzhu has already taken me as her master; she is now my disciple. I have a responsibility to protect her, and since she likes you, I... also do not want you to get hurt."

"Furthermore, you are still Senior Uncle's disciple, which makes you my junior brother. I especially do not want you to repeat the old path of Senior Brother Daoyi."

Ling Yichen was immediately interested.

He knew there was a story about Long Daoyi, but he didn't know the specific details.

Listening to Yuan Qing, she seemed to know.

He couldn't help but ask, "What old path? What happened to Senior Brother?"

Yuan Qing frowned; she was somewhat surprised that Ling Yichen didn't know.

She pondered for a moment and then said, "This is Senior Brother Daoyi's past. It shouldn't be for me to tell you, but I don't want you to follow in his footsteps, so I will tell you."

"When Senior Brother Daoyi was a youth, he was also high-spirited, with strong talent, strong strength, and a strong background. But later, he fell in love with a girl from the Demon-Human Clan and became deeply trapped in it, unable to extricate himself."

"The existence of the Demon-Human Clan is equivalent to heresy for Rainbow City; discovering one means execution."

"Suddenly one day, the girl's identity was discovered, and she was beaten to death. Senior Brother Daoyi went mad instantly and went to seek revenge on those people, but as a result, his energy center was shattered, and he has been sunk in despair until now."

Hearing these words, Ling Yichen's brows furrowed deeply.

Although it was only a few words, Ling Yichen felt an extremely strong emotion.

His beloved woman was beaten to death, and when he wanted to seek revenge, his energy center was shattered, and he became a cripple.

If it were an ordinary person, they probably would have gone insane long ago.

He couldn't help but clench his fists and asked, "Are those people still alive?"

Yuan Qing nodded, "Of course, not only are they alive, but they are living very well. Several of them have now become the heads of the Six Great Families."

Ling Yichen's pupils constricted.

"Heads of the Six Great Families?"

Ling Yichen suddenly thought of the two directors of the Discipline Hall.

A wisp of baleful aura surged, but he immediately restrained his aura and asked, "Senior Sister, you just said that Senior Brother's background was not weak. What was his background? Why did the people in his family not stand up for him?"

Yuan Qing sighed and replied, "Senior Brother Daoyi comes from the Hidden Family' Long family. He is from the same family as Long Aotian, who was with you yesterday. According to seniority, Long Aotian still has to call Senior Brother Daoyi 'uncle'."

"Unfortunately, Senior Brother Daoyi is not a direct descendant, and the Long family is a Hidden Family. How would they fight against the Six Great Families for a collateral descendant?"

"Of course, after the Demon-Human girl died, Senior Brother Daoyi begged the Long family, praying for the Long family to help him and reclaim the corpse of the Demon-Human girl."

"The Long family did step forward and reclaimed the corpse of the Demon-Human girl."

"Now, the corpse of that Demon-Human girl is still treasured by Senior Brother Daoyi, and it has already turned into a Demon Grass."

"For decades, Senior Brother Daoyi has meticulously studied plants day and night, exploring whether plants have souls, all for the sake of wanting to see that Demon-Human girl one more time."

Ling Yichen was greatly shocked after hearing this!

"The Demon-Human girl turned into a Demon Grass after death?"

He did not know much about the Demon-Human Clan, so he found it very novel.

Yuan Qing nodded gently and replied, "Yes, the Demon-Human Clan is very peculiar. There are those who are half-human and half-beast, those who are half-human and half-plant, and those who are exactly the same as humans. The Demon-Human Clan has a long history, with many branches and a huge population. I once checked ancient books and vaguely felt that the Demon-Human Clan might actually be the ancestors of humans, or rather, we were evolved from the Demon-Human Clan."

"Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Qingzhu's identity is special, and her future is destined to be bumpy. If you get involved, it will inevitably develop into a complex and bloody story. I don't want to see a day in the future where you and Qingzhu have your hands stained with blood just to be together!"

Ling Yichen smiled knowingly and replied, "Thank you, Senior Sister, for your concern, but Qingzhu and I are already in love, and separation is impossible."

"If anyone wants to stop us from being together, then I don't mind having my hands stained with blood, and I wouldn't even hesitate to wash the Six Great Families in blood."

"In my eyes, anyone who wants to stop me is an enemy!"

"And the only means I have to face enemies is—kill!"

"I will do my best to kill everyone who wants to stop me, until I can no longer kill."

"So, unless I die, no one can stop me!"

Ling Yichen said it lightly, but the coldness in his eyes made Yuan Qing tremble slightly.

What kind of ruthless and crazy eyes were these? She sighed and said in a low voice, "Sigh, I knew you would be like this, so I will do my best to help you both and try my best to make your path go a little smoother."

After speaking, she no longer stopped Ling Yichen and turned to walk toward the Genius Student Class.

Ling Yichen looked at her back, his eyes flickering.

At this moment, in his left eye, Yuan Qing's figure began to flicker, and then she changed from a middle-aged woman into an incredibly beautiful celestial girl. The girl walked with light steps, walking slowly.

Suddenly, she seemed to sense something and slowly turned back to look at Ling Yichen.

She immediately saw Ling Yichen's left eye flickering with a faint light, as if he were an unknown monster standing in the darkness.

She frowned slightly, said nothing, and turned back to continue walking forward.

And at this moment, because of her turning back, Ling Yichen also saw her true face clearly.

His heart was shaken; a woman turning into a girl, and a girl full of celestial aura—how could this not surprise him.

Until Yuan Qing completely disappeared from his field of vision, he slowly retracted his gaze, smiling and shaking his head, still feeling somewhat unsatisfied.

He did not linger too much either, turning to walk outside the school.

Not long after, he returned to the hotel.

At this moment, the hotel still had guards protecting it, but it was not the group brought by Long Aotian; it was a new batch of people.

Regarding this, Ling Yichen just frowned and glanced at them, then immediately entered the hotel.

The three adults inside the room were immediately surprised to see him return.

"You're finally back? You must be exhausted, right?" Tang Juan said.

Tian Yingying knew that Ling Yichen had gone to the Tower to cultivate, so everyone knew that Ling Yichen had not returned all night.

"I'm okay, Auntie. I'm a bit hungry. Can you help me make some breakfast? I'm going to take a shower."

Tang Juan naturally agreed happily, put down her teaching of Ling Yixuan, and turned to walk toward the kitchen.

Ling Yichen also went back to his room to wash up.

Inside the kitchen, Tang Juan took out cucumbers and ham, intending to make two sandwiches for Ling Yichen.

When she picked up the small knife to cut the cucumber, she accidentally cut her finger. The tip of the knife was exceptionally sharp, and a bead of blood instantly welled up, dripping onto the cucumber.

She immediately gasped and quickly put her finger into her mouth to suck on it.

The next second, she saw that the bead of blood left on the cucumber had actually turned blue at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this scene, Tang Juan was immediately horrified and immediately raised her eyes to look at the living room.

Discovering that Tian Xingliang and Lu Yu were playing games with Ling Yixuan and had not noticed her, she quickly picked up the slice of cucumber with the blue blood, stuffed it into her mouth, chewed, and swallowed.

Following this action of hers, a layer of cyan-black scales could be seen slowly flickering beneath her skin, but they immediately retracted.

At the same time, the Spirit Worms that Ling Yichen had placed inside her body also reacted.

They could be seen uneasily surfacing onto her skin, wandering around.

However, Tang Juan reached out and gently stroked them, whispering, "Shh... be good, don't tell Yichen..."

With her stroking, a wisp of blue light continuously spread from her hand onto the Spirit Worms.

Those Spirit Worms instantly quieted down and obediently went into hiding.
