38: Our child

Chen Qingxuan's face darkened.

As a member of the Human Race, he truly couldn't find it in him to smile at this moment.

“Qian You, why do you want to kill all humans... You've never even had contact with the Human Race, have you?” Chen Qingxuan crouched down and asked, forcing himself to stay calm as he held the Little Girl's shoulders.

“Mother said that the Human Race is insidious and cunning, always calculating and plotting against my Yao Race. So, Qian You must Cultivate hard. One day, I will wipe out the Human Race and make a name for myself!”

Ji Qianyou's small face showed an indisputable determination.

“...”

Chen Qingxuan opened his mouth but hesitated.

As expected, even though the Little Girl had never been to the Human Domain, she harbored deep resentment toward humans... It was inevitably influenced by those around her.

After glancing at Ji Li in the distance, Chen Qingxuan didn't say much more and took out the spiritual items he had obtained yesterday. “Come, Qian You, take these spiritual items and refine them first.”

Now that he had contracted Ji Qianyou, any talent improvement she made would be fed back to him;

Therefore, rather than refining the spiritual items himself, which would be time-consuming and laborious, it was better to give them to the Little Girl. Not only could he lie back and enjoy the gains, but it would also strengthen their bond.

“Thank you, Revered Master~”

Ji Qianyou smiled sweetly and happily accepted her Revered Master's feeding. “Qian You will Cultivate hard. In the future, when I go to kill the Human Race... I'll let Revered Master watch from the side.”

“...Cough!”

Chen Qingxuan shuddered in fright. He could only hold the Little Girl's shoulders and say, “Let's not talk about that for now... You go Cultivate first!”

“Mm-hmm~”

Ji Qianyou obediently turned and left.

At this moment, although Ji Li had not come over, she was watching every move of the master and disciple pair.

The image of Chen Qingxuan holding the Little Girl and talking, along with the smile on her daughter's face, felt inexplicably warm to her.

Or rather, she had never seen her daughter so close to an outsider.

Furthermore, seeing Chen Qingxuan unhesitatingly bring out the spiritual items she had given him last night for her daughter to use moved her;

It also gave her a sense of relief!

If he didn't truly love his disciple, what Revered Master would go to such lengths?

Therefore, even though Chen Qingxuan had made her belly burst with anger last night, her original hostility was now gone.

When Chen Qingxuan walked over to ask what she was doing, she told him truthfully, “Setting up a Barrier to prevent the Qi from Qian You's cultivation from leaking out, lest someone discovers the appearance of the Demon Emperor Bloodline.”

“Good, planning ahead!”

Chen Qingxuan nodded in agreement.

Looking at Ji Li, who wouldn't look him in the eye, he cleared his throat. “Um... you seem to hate the Human Race very much?”

Hearing this, Ji Li looked back calmly. “Don't you hate them?”

“I... I hate them too... I hate them to death.”

Chen Qingxuan immediately became politically correct.

After all, he was pretending to be a member of the Yao Race. If he said he didn't hate the Human Race... wouldn't he be seen as a traitor to the Yao?

When in a different place, one must have a different political stance.

“Then that's that.” Ji Li had heard the conversation between the Revered Master and disciple and said calmly, “The Cangyun Continent is so vast, yet when our Yao Race ancestors were besieged by the Human Race, they were eventually forced to live in misery in the Western Region. Even so... the Human Race always tries to interfere in the Western Region for various reasons, while the Yao Race cannot interfere in the Human Domain at all... Who wouldn't want the Human Race to perish?”

“...”

Chen Qingxuan felt his hair stand on end;

Who could understand the pressure of being a human who had infiltrated Yao territory, facing a Yao powerhouse, and listening to their grand ambition to destroy the Human Race... that unspeakable pressure... nothing could describe it.

“Why are your legs shaking?” Ji Li noticed with her sharp eyes.

Chen Qingxuan quickly found a rock to sit on. “It's nothing... I did too much 'furnace' work last night.”

“Furnace... what does that mean?”

Ji Li blinked her long eyelashes innocently.

“Cough!” Chen Qingxuan rubbed his nose and changed the subject. “Um... I think the way you're teaching Qian You is wrong.”

“What's wrong about it?”

“It's... it's undeniable that the Yao Race and the Human Race have a long-standing grudge.” Chen Qingxuan said seriously, “But whether it's the Yao Race or the Human Race, there are villains who harm others for their own benefit and are only interested in profit. You can't judge whether someone is good or bad based on their race alone. You have to judge based on their actions and how they treat their compatriots... considering all aspects, right?”

“...”

Ji Li looked at him quietly.

After a moment of silence, she finally spoke: “This kind of thinking of yours is very dangerous.”

“Dangerous?”

“Don't say such things in the Yao Race in the future. Otherwise, people will think... your heart is with the Human Race... and you'll bring unnecessary trouble upon yourself.”

“Wait, what...?”

Chen Qingxuan was dumbfounded.

Facing Ji Li's kind warning, he didn't get angry at being refuted, but instead felt uneasy... Had he just appeared very biased toward the Human Race?

Wasn't he just discussing things as they were?

As if seeing Chen Qingxuan's confusion, Ji Li explained: “Even if what you say is right, you cannot promote it... You are a member of the Yao Race. As long as you don't hate the Human Race... in the eyes of the Yao Race, you are biased toward the Human Race.”

“...”

Chen Qingxuan was speechless.

The next moment, he said seriously: “I'm just worried about Qian You. You can't keep instilling the idea of wiping out the Human Race in her. She won't be able to do it... because there is a human Genius... in the future, when Qian You grows up, her strength will only be one-third of his. Not to mention other human powerhouses... So, to prevent Qian You from walking into the abyss, we must change her motivation for cultivation.”

“A human Genius even more powerful than Qian You, who has awakened the Demon Emperor Bloodline?” Ji Li's beautiful face changed, and she pressed, “Is this what you deduced?”

“...Um, yes!”

“Where is he?”

“What do you want to do?”

Chen Qingxuan's mouth suddenly fell open.

Ji Li's eyes narrowed slightly. “Naturally, I will kill him before he grows up!”

Pfft—

Chen Qingxuan almost choked on his own spit.

Good grief, she wants to kill me?

Meeting Ji Li's determined gaze, he hurriedly tried to soothe her: “Don't be nervous... He won't make a move against Qian You... and he has no intention of wiping out the Yao Race.”

“Who can say for sure?” Ji Li countered. “Where is his location?”

“...You just believed my deduction was accurate!” Chen Qingxuan's face was covered in black lines. “Besides, I can only deduce a general idea... I'm not an immortal. How would I know his exact location?”

“Is it that you don't know, or that you don't want to say?”

“Of course I don't know.”

Chen Qingxuan said urgently.

He was joking... he wasn't so muddled as to seek his own death, was he?

“Humph!” Ji Li crossed her arms, pushing up her full bosom. “Then you'd better deduce his exact location as soon as possible, lest Qian You falls into danger... You wouldn't want to see your own disciple in danger, would you?”

“...”

Chen Qingxuan was at a loss for words.

The next moment, he said seriously: “I naturally don't want Qian You to be in danger... So, you have to listen to me. Stop fostering Qian You's resentment toward the Human Race. That way, she won't run into that person... I'll go do some ideological work with Qian You first, to let her let go of her prejudice against the Human Race.”

“Stop, you're not allowed to go!”

Ji Li stopped him sternly.

“I must go!” As a human, Chen Qingxuan insisted. “ I've already made it so clear to you. This is all for Qian You's own good... Don't be so controlling.”

“I'm controlling?”

Ji Li laughed out of anger.

Who exactly was the controlling one?

Seeing that Chen Qingxuan was set on it, she grabbed his arm. “That is my child... not your child... I have the final say on her attitude toward the Human Race.”

“What do you mean your child? She's our child!”

Chen Qingxuan said anxiously.

“?”

Ji Li was stunned.
