"Do cultivation techniques for half-demons really exist?"

"Do humans and demons also know how to cultivate from birth? Aren't all cultivation techniques created later? Even if Uncle Qing doesn't have them, I believe you can create your own."

"Can I do it?" Song Luo couldn't help but doubt herself.

The main reason is that from the time he was old enough to understand things, he has always been belittled and ridiculed, and has never received affirmation, so he finds it difficult to be confident.

"Mother believes in you. Look at me, I'm just an ordinary vine spirit, but I still managed to rescue you from your genius father's clutches. Where there's a will, there's a way. Mother will always be by your side."

Song Luo clenched her fist, realizing for the first time that she had such a clear goal.

After half a month, the mother and son finally reached their destination from the outskirts of Sunset Forest. Looking at the towering trees, Song Luo exclaimed that this was truly breathtaking.

"Uncle Qing, we're back."

"It's good that you're back." A human face suddenly appeared on the tree trunk, startling Song Luo.

"You're Xiao Song's son? That's right."

Song Luo nodded and greeted him with an unusually obedient demeanor: "Hello, Grandpa Qing, my name is Song Luo."

"Hmm, the name is alright. Here, take this. As long as I don't cause trouble in the forest, they'll usually give me some face."

Song Xia smiled and thanked him, "Uncle Qing, I was just thinking about how to trick you into giving me another one, but I didn't expect you to give it to me yourself."

Do you think I'm such a petty person?

"Uncle Qing, how about we build a house here?"

"It's up to you. Fix it well; cubs need to be cared for."

"Um."

Watching the two talk so naturally, Song Luo felt a pang of sadness. Was he a cub too? Could he be genuinely loved?

"Let's eat first, then we'll go cut down some trees. Xiao Luo, what do you want to eat today?"

"It will be all right."

Song Xia nodded: "Uncle Qing, what would you like to eat?"

"Get some mushrooms, the freshest ones."

“Okay.” Song Xia turned to Song Luo and said, “Do you want to come with me to pick mushrooms?”

With nothing to do, Song Luo got up, but he didn't expect that the freshest thing Grandpa Qing mentioned was actually a poisonous mushroom.

Looking at the colorful array of colors, he couldn't help but ask, "Are these really safe to eat?"

“We certainly can’t eat them, but it’s no problem for Uncle Qing. Let’s go catch some small silver fish over there. We can grill them or make soup later. Let’s eat those.”

Song Luo still had many questions: "But aren't you a vine? Can plants eat animals?"

"There are plenty of plants in the forest that can eat animals. Besides, Mother has already become a demon, so it's no big deal for her to eat a little. There's also a family of Queen Dowager flowers to the west. They specialize in eating cultivators, especially those that are good-looking. Remember not to go that way."

Song Luo found it unbelievable; how could such a race exist?

"How about these trees? They're sturdy enough, and the patterns are beautiful too."

Song Luo was stunned. If he wasn't mistaken, this should be the Spirit-Nourishing Wood that everyone in the cultivation world pursues. Even a small section of it can cause a fight. Wearing it on your body for a long time can nourish your spirit and gather spiritual energy. It can also help you concentrate your mind and calm your breath during cultivation. His mother wanted to cut down a few pieces to build a house.

"If you don't like it, there's still Thunderwood and Water Spirit Robe further ahead..."

"This is great." Song Luo was increasingly shocked as he listened. Things that he used to think he could only look up to were now within his reach?

"Don't be so surprised. There are many treasures in the forest. You'll find out as you explore. Although we demons also use rare and precious materials for cultivation, we don't plunder them like humans do. Besides, most of them are useless to us, so the amount in the forest keeps increasing."

Song Xia patiently explained to him: "There are also some companion herbs and minerals of demon beasts. In fact, many of them are not very useful to us. It's just that people can't stand the humans taking them, so they don't allow them to take them. If you want them, once you get to know them, no one will be stingy with their money."

At this moment, Song Luo felt as if a huge treasure was placed in front of him. He used to envy Qin Xiuyang for having countless cultivation resources, but now he was no longer envious. Qin Taiming was good to Qin Xiuyang, but he had a better mother!

"I'm a half-demon, won't they reject me?"

Song Xia blinked: "So you have to use your charm to win them over."

Song Luo was puzzled. What charm did he have to conquer people? Even his strength was probably the lowest here.

"You must cultivate diligently. There are many cultivators who covet Sunset Forest. Now that you are a part of the forest, protecting it will be your responsibility in the future."

Song Luo nodded seriously; he knew better than anyone the greed of the human race.

Just like how everyone was wary of Qin Taiming at first, but after they realized that Qin Taiming really didn't care about them, they started to bully him and steal his things without any regard for the consequences.

It's ridiculous. Knowing that Qin Taiming doesn't care about him, why would he give him cultivation resources? These people are just hoping for the best. They think that bullying him won't hurt them, but what if they manage to steal something?

The cultivators are unaware of the many treasures hidden deep within Sunset Forest. If they were to find out one day, they would certainly launch a full-scale attack.

After all, the human race's cultivation resources are decreasing year by year. In order to ascend to immortality and to seize territory, they have engaged in rampant killing and exploitation, leaving the human race's territory in ruins.

The human and demon races have always been at odds. If one day they find out that the demon race is guarding the resources and not letting them go, they'll go crazy.

"I will try my best." Song Luo cut off a few branches of the Nurturing Tree. They had grown so big with great difficulty, so it was better not to cut off the main trunk. Anyway, these side branches together were enough to build two small houses.

Song Xia sighed. What a good child. Even after suffering so much injustice, he still maintains a kind heart. Qin Taiming and the people of Tianyuan Sect are truly inhuman. They will definitely regret it.

Back in the open space, Song Xia cooked, while Song Luo began building the wooden house. This was his own home, which he was building himself, so he was taking it very seriously.

Aren't you afraid of fire?

Song Xia skillfully set up the pot: "Mother has become a demon, so ordinary fire can't burn her."

Song Luo stopped worrying and focused on pruning the branches. Soon, he had prepared several main beams. He didn't waste the branches he pruned. After all, these were all sacred wood. So, wooden chopsticks, wooden spoons, and wooden hairpins were all taken shape in his hands.

"My son is so amazing!" Song Xia praised him with a proud look, as if Song Luo had done something extraordinary.

Song Luo blushed with embarrassment: "It's not that difficult to do."

"Mother won't have to live like that. From now on, I'll enjoy a comfortable life with you and won't have to live those rough days anymore."

Song Xia really liked it and immediately put the wooden hairpin in her hair. Song Luo saw this and immediately carved a few more with different patterns. The corners of her mouth slowly turned up with a smile.
