Chapter 450: Succubus (20)

Qi Feng: "Although demons are born with an unchangeable nature, if a demon is placed in a kind family and raised from childhood, it will still stand on the side of humans. Therefore, this plan failed hundreds of years ago. The reason is that many demons conceived from demon seeds, although they escaped the heavenly calamity, were also very uncontrollable and were even assimilated by humans. In the end, this technique was listed as a forbidden technique for demons, and it was no longer allowed to use demon seeds for experimentation. However, some demons still rely on this to strengthen themselves. But they will kill the pregnant woman directly after the demon fetus is born and take the demon fetus away."

Wen Yan: "..."

"Then how do we solve this?" Senior Brother Chu Feng asked.

Qi Feng: "According to the traditional, righteous way of solving this problem, it is to kill them and eliminate them completely."

Wen Yan: "..."

"No—" Suddenly a woman ran in, "You can't kill my Guangyuan, he's a good boy, he's the son I carried for ten months and gave birth to with great difficulty, get out, we don't need to beg you anymore..." She pushed and shoved Wen Wan and the others, and was supported by the steward.

"Madam, what brings you here?"

"Aren't you righteous cultivators? Why did you kill my innocent child?"

Senior Sister Qiling: "But your son might be a demon."

"Even if he is a demon, he is still my child. He is kind by nature and has never hurt anyone. It was an accident."

Wen Wan quickly stopped the agitated lady and looked at Qi Feng: "Is there no other way? Is this the only way? Can we suppress his evil, demonic side and let him live as a good person?"

Chiffon: "Impossible. A demon is a demon; it can't be the same as a human."

Wen Yan: "..."

This chiffon cake is reminding me that I am also a demon, and even coming to Mingyuan Sect cannot change this fact.

She was going to leave sooner or later.

Wen Wan looked at the lady and said, "Don't worry, Madam. Eliminating him is something we only consider as a last resort. Before he commits any evil, no one can take his life. We will try our best to come up with a good way and will definitely not kill him in such a simple and brutal way."

"real?"

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, we can swear an oath. If this cultivator fails to keep his oath, he will be punished by heaven. Does that make you believe me, Madam?"

Wen Wan raised her hand and began to swear an oath.

Chu Feng and Qi Ling tried to stop her but couldn't, and after Wen Wan did this, the lady's expression instantly improved and she became much calmer.

"Thank you all. I apologize for my poor attitude earlier."

Wen Wan: "No, no, but can we see the young master?"

After thinking for a moment, the lady nodded. "Uncle Chai, go and call the young master over."

Soon, Wen Wan met the legendary young master Guangyuan. My goodness, he was so handsome! He was a cute little boy with delicate features and clear, gentle eyes. He had absolutely nothing to do with demons.

"Mother." Chen Guangyuan walked to his mother's side and looked at Wen Wan and the others.

"Guangyuan! They are our friends who are visiting. Say hello to them."

Then he greeted her politely. Not only Wen Wan couldn't stand it, but even the others, except for Qi Feng, felt that this young master didn't seem like a demon.

He looks so kind.

After chatting for a while, Qi Ling and Chu Feng coincidentally approached Chen Guangyuan, but they could not sense any demonic energy from him.

The group then settled down.

That evening, as they gathered to discuss countermeasures, Lisa said, "I don't think he's a demon. Are we mistaken?"

Chu Feng: "You can't judge a book by its cover. Besides, didn't the butler say that he can be different sometimes? We have to wait until he's different before we can make a judgment."

Wen Wan nodded.

She had already learned most of the situation from the system; Chen Guangyuan was indeed not human, but a demon seed.

However, because the mother was a pure body, kind and compassionate, and had done many good deeds in her daily life, she was favored by the heavens. Therefore, the demonic seed was conceived in her body, and a portion of the demonic energy was neutralized.

They were then pampered and thus became largely assimilated, but their demonic nature remained hidden deep within, occasionally surfacing to cause trouble.

This is why the young master went mad.

"Can it be resolved? Aside from killing him, isn't this just like schizophrenia or multiple personality disorder?"

System: [It can be solved, but it's very difficult.]

"Tell me about it."

That means removing the demonic root from his body, but that's equivalent to dying once. His blood has to be replaced bit by bit, and everything related to demons has to be eradicated. Generally, no one can endure that. Even if they do, they'll become a cripple, and any desire to cultivate will be impossible in this lifetime.

Wen Yan: "..."

"Isn't there a gentler way?"

System: [That would mean entering the Buddhist sect and suppressing the demonic energy within him. However, in that case, he might never be able to leave the Buddhist sect again, nor see his parents and relatives.]

Wen Yan: "..."

"Isn't there a more perfect solution? His parents love him so much. If he never sees them again, wouldn't that be a tragedy?"

The people had prayed for this precious son for decades. If he were to die, Wen Wan would feel like she would go crazy just imagining it.

System: [Host, do you think I'm Doraemon? This is inherently defying the heavens; his true nature is a demonic seed, not human.]

"You're wrong. If you throw a person into a pack of wolves, they'll forget they're human and turn into a howling, hunting beast. If you raise a beast from a young age in the human world, it will become a cute and cuddly national treasure. So the environment in which a person grows up is very important."

system:【……】

Li Sha looked at Wen Wan, "Wan, what are you thinking about?"

Wen Wan thought for a moment and shook her head. "I just feel sorry for him. He did nothing wrong, yet he suffered such a thing. His parents are even more likely to have accumulated good deeds throughout their lives, yet they ended up in this situation."

Li Sha looked at Wen Wan and said, "Wen Wan is so kind. If only I could have met her sooner. Many people don't care whether someone is kind or evil. As long as someone has demonic energy, they will kill them without hesitation."

Wen Yan: "..."

Why would the female lead suddenly say that? She doesn't know anything about her background.

But that's not necessarily true. After all, many of the things she's encountered since childhood have been extraordinary. She's not stupid; perhaps she knows, but she's not sure, or even unwilling to believe it.

From this perspective, Chen Guangyuan and Li Sha are the same kind of people.

Wen Wan held Li Sha's hand and comforted her, "The past cannot be changed, but the future will definitely get better and better."

"Thank you, A-Yuan."

After Wen Wan waited for Li Sha to rest, she spoke to Qi Feng alone, since Qi Feng himself was a demon and must know a lot about demons.

"In this situation, is there any way for him to shed his demonic identity and survive?"

Qi Feng looked at Wen Wan and said, "Why did you do this, Miss? He is a demon, which will not harm us. Moreover, the person who planted him in Madam Chen's belly will come sooner or later to take Chen Guangyuan back to the Demon Realm."

Wen Wan was somewhat surprised to hear this. "You mean that person will come back? Doesn't that mean the Chen family is in danger?"

Qi Feng: "Yes, the demons have always been irreconcilable enemies of humans. They have completed their mission and will likely face certain death, but this has nothing to do with us."

Wen Wan looked at Qi Feng, and Qi Feng looked at Wen Wan with suspicion. Wen Wan's heart skipped a beat. Was this person starting to doubt her? After all, the difference between her before and after was too great. She couldn't be like the original owner of the body. But she wasn't worried about being exposed. She was just worried that these people might suspect that she had possessed someone else's body and then kill her.
