"Yes, because the innate energy within you is very special," Ye Xingchen explained. "That's why the offspring born during the gestation of the snake fetus will be of excellent quality."
"Liu Sanqing has no concept of human ethics, let alone the concept of carrying on the family line. After the snake fetus is conceived, he will most likely refine it for his own cultivation."
Upon hearing Ye Xingchen's words, Liu Qingmei was somewhat taken aback. She stood there, speechless for a long time.
I am nothing more than a vessel; sometimes, a woman's fate is just so tragic.
"Don't feel pressured," Ye Xingchen said with a smile. "Now that I'm here, I'll definitely find a way to break this curse. Don't worry."
Liu Qingmei nodded gently and said softly, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. We're quite destined to meet," Ye Xingchen said with a smile.
"Liu Sanqing will use me as a furnace, so what about you?" Liu Qingmei looked up at Ye Xingchen: "What will you use me for?"
"Treat you like a woman, don't compare me to monsters." Ye Xingchen said with a wry smile, "They have no humanity, but I do."
"This is also the biggest difference between humans and animals. So now you know why humans are the most intelligent of all creatures, right? Because humans have humanity, while animals do not."
Liu Qingmei stared at Ye Xingchen for a while, but didn't notice anything unusual. Then she slowly turned her head and said, "Okay, I believe you."
Just then, a figure flashed in the courtyard, followed by a sudden expansion of demonic power, which then quickly retreated towards the back mountain.
"There's a demonic aura." Ye Xingchen frowned, sensing the chill in the air—a chill that only demons could emit.
"Has Liu Sanqing arrived?" Liu Qingmei was surprised. "He's asleep, it's impossible for him to be here so quickly."
"No, that's not it." Ye Xingchen shook his head: "The other immortal deliberately let us discover him. Let's go and take a look."
Ye Xingchen led Liu Qingmei towards the back mountain, chasing the wisp of demonic energy in the air until it disappeared in a grove of trees.
The demonic aura disappeared in this forest, so the other party must have stopped here.
Ye Xingchen suddenly stopped. He sensed the demonic energy in the surrounding forest, and his expression gradually turned cold.
“It’s that Second Master Huang.” Liu Qingmei followed, her brows furrowing slightly as she smelled the faint scent in the air.
"The one worshipped by the Huang family? Didn't they say that apart from your Liu family, the other four immortal families haven't manifested their divine power for decades?" Ye Xingchen frowned slightly.
“Yes, but this scent definitely belongs to Master Huang, no doubt about it. Perhaps it’s a little spirit who has just achieved some success in cultivation. The immortals here don’t refer to just one person, but many, but only one is ranked in the Palace.” Liu Qingmei said softly.
"Why are there so many monsters here?" Ye Xingchen asked, both amused and exasperated.
"Deep in the mountains and forests, where human footprints are rare, what's so strange about monsters?" Liu Qingmei couldn't help but glare at him.
"That's true, what you said makes some sense." Ye Xingchen nodded slightly; Liu Qingmei was absolutely right.
"Since you've lured me here, you must have something to say, right?" Ye Xingchen said with a smile, "Stop hiding and just show yourself."
Ye Xingchen's words carried far and wide, but the surrounding area remained silent, without any response. Even the demonic energy that the two had followed had vanished without a trace.
"Second Master Huang, please show yourself." Liu Qingmei walked to a large tree. "Is there something you can't resolve that you need us to solve?"
Compared to Ye Xingchen, Liu Qingmei's words sounded rather gentle.
As soon as she finished speaking, under their gazes, a grayish-yellow shadow flashed behind a large tree, and a furry little creature emerged.
This furry little thing was actually a standing weasel, only it was larger than a typical weasel.
Moreover, it learns to walk like a human, and even the expressions on its face are lifelike, almost identical to those on a human face.
"What the hell, is this a title?" Ye Xingchen looked at Liu Qingmei.
This thing possesses demonic power, but its cultivation level isn't very high. Based on Ye Xingchen's experience, it can't yet solidify into human form.
However, the way it imitates a person standing and walking, and even the expressions on its face, is very close to a human. If this guy takes another step forward, it might be able to speak.
“There’s no such thing as asking for an official title.” Liu Qingmei said, half-laughing and half-crying, “Don’t be fooled by those movies and novels. There’s no such thing as asking for an official title in our three provinces.”
"Okay, I also think the acting is a bit unrealistic, but it's too realistic." Ye Xingchen smiled awkwardly, then looked at the little thing in front of him.
"Second Master Huang, I am Liu Qingmei from the Liu family. We have a deep connection with the immortals we worship. Is there anything I can do for you here today?" Liu Qingmei gave a slight curtsy.
Huang Sanye nodded slightly to Liu Qingmei in response, then looked at Ye Xingchen, and raised one of its front paws, pointing at Ye Xingchen.
"Is he looking for me?" Even though Ye Xingchen had no mental communication with this guy, the other party's actions had already made him understand something.
“That’s right, they’re looking for you.” Liu Qingmei nodded, then turned to look at Ye Xingchen and said with a smile, “Second Master, your cultivation has reached a certain level, and you should be able to speak human language now.”
"How about this, why don't you just tell him what's on your mind?"
The weasel hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded.
Then, he covered his throat with one hand and cleared it forcefully.
At first, he made animalistic growls, but after uttering a few indistinct phrases, he was actually able to speak like a human.
"Greetings, Immortal. I am a spirit cultivating in Wild Buffalo Ridge. I am fortunate to possess spiritual consciousness, but my cultivation is weak, and I am still a long way from being able to transform into human form."
The weasel, mimicking a human, clasped its hands in a fist and palm salute: "My fellow cultivators and I have learned that the Immortal is no ordinary being, so we have dared to come and pay our respects..."
At first, his pronunciation was unclear, but as he spoke, his pronunciation became clearer and clearer.
Moreover, he imitated the mannerisms of a respectful person, clasping his hands in a fist and bowing gesture, appearing extremely humble and deferential to Ye Xingchen.
"You want me to help you transform into human form?" Ye Xingchen looked at the weasel. This creature was quite intelligent. Among the Five Immortals, the fox and the weasel were the most human-like because they were clever and knew how to take shortcuts.
