"Human hearts are unpredictable. If they use my abilities to do evil, I will inevitably suffer enormous consequences, which is not what I want."
“I am also a human being, and I also have human desires. Why did you choose me?” Liu Qingmei raised her head and looked at Huang Wenxing.
“Miss Liu is naturally different from them.” Huang Wenxing smiled: “I can tell that Miss Liu is a kind-hearted person and would never use my abilities to do evil.”
“I am just a person now, without any foundation.” Liu Qingmei slowly lowered her head: “With your current strength, you can go to the Huang family. After all, the Liu family is a large family. As long as you join, you will be regarded as the ancestor of the Huang family.”
“These are not what I want.” Huang Wenxing shook his head: “Since I spoke these words to Miss Liu, it was after careful consideration.”
"If Miss Er does not agree, then I will have no choice but to continue living alone."
Liu Qingmei remained silent for a long time, unable to recover, before gently nodding: "Alright, I agree."
Huang Wenxing spat out a golden pill and held it in his hand.
He held the golden core in both hands and presented it to Liu Qingmei: "Miss Liu, this is a demon core that I have formed after hundreds of years of cultivation. It contains a layer of my consciousness."
"Once you control the demon core, it's the same as controlling my life. If I make any unusual moves, you can take my life at any time."
“This…” Liu Qingmei stared blankly at the demon core in his hand, falling silent for a moment.
“Miss Liu, please do not doubt my loyalty.” Huang Wenxing bowed respectfully again: “Since we are cooperating, we should have the sincerity to cooperate.”
"For the next few decades, we will rely on each other."
“Shouldn’t we have more trust between us?” Liu Qingmei looked up at him.
“I am a demon spirit. Only in this way can you accept me with peace of mind. Cooperation is not just my business. Please accept it.” Huang Wenxing lowered his body again.
Liu Qingmei was silent for a moment, then reached out and took the demon core from his hand, placing it in her palm.
As a burst of golden light surged forth, the demon core slowly disappeared into Liu Qingmei's palm. A wisp of golden light flashed across her body, and she returned to normal.
However, a crimson mark had appeared on her forehead, indicating that she had accepted Huang Wenxing's demon core, which meant that she possessed half of Huang Wenxing's power.
“Miss Liu,” Huang Wenxing smiled slightly and then extended his hand.
Liu Qingmei reached out her hand and gently shook his.
In the darkness, Ye Xingchen clearly saw everything that was happening before his eyes. He withdrew his gaze and left the scene with Zhang Shihao.
"What do you think?" Zhang Shih-hao couldn't help but glance at Ye Xing-chen.
"What do you mean?" Ye Xingchen and Zhang Shihao exchanged a glance. In fact, he understood what Zhang Shihao meant.
"Stop pretending, don't you understand what I mean?" Zhang Shihao rolled his eyes at Ye Xingchen. "I'm asking what you think of Huang Wenxing, this demon spirit?"
"What do you think?" Ye Xingchen asked in return.
"He has a very enigmatic feel to him." Zhang Shih-hao shook his head and said, "This guy has kept a very humble attitude from the very beginning."
"Moreover, having just taken human form, he is very humble and is diligently learning everything about the human world."
"More importantly, he is very sensible."
"You could attribute all of this to his strong will to survive," Ye Xingchen said calmly.
"Yes, yes, he has a strong will to survive. He seems to know that he has just taken human form and has no foundation, so he cannot gain anyone's trust."
"The humility this guy displays is truly unbelievable. If other demon spirits were like him, who knows where they would have gone." Zhang Shih-hao nodded in deep agreement.
“He’s a smart man,” Ye Xingchen said with a slight smile. “Because he knows he has no foundation in this world.”
"He also knew that Liu Qingmei was different from others, so he took the initiative to hand over his demon core. This would have been almost impossible for others."
“Yes, but this person gives the impression of being too smart and too pragmatic, which is a bit of a downside,” Zhang Shih-hao said, shaking his head.
“Yes, things tend to go to extremes. His attitude was too humble,” Ye Xingchen said. “Sometimes it’s a bit too deliberate to please others, so over time, problems arise.”
"What should we do then?" Zhang Shihao turned to look at Ye Xingchen.
“Find an opportunity to talk to him,” Ye Xingchen said calmly. “After all, he was someone I personally mentored. If we let him continue down this path, he is very likely to go astray.”
“But you can’t just keep watching him like that, you still have to come back to Qiwu Mountain with me.” Zhang Shihao couldn’t help but roll his eyes at Ye Xingchen.
"Hehe, don't worry, I'll go back to Qiwu Mountain with you, but it won't conflict with what I'm doing," Ye Xingchen said with a chuckle.
"Moreover, Liu Qingmei is no ordinary person; she knows how to guide Huang Wenxing."
"Alright, you seem to have everything under control." Zhang Shihao nodded slightly. He felt that Ye Xingchen was indeed extraordinary.
Just then, a shadow drifted over; it was Jess. He exclaimed in surprise, "Ye, I think I smell something unusual."
"What's that unusual smell?" Ye Xingchen glanced at Jess.
"The scent of August," Jess said seriously. "Is it the two girls with extremely pure bloodlines you mentioned who have arrived?"
"It really is them, they're here." Ye Xingchen suddenly realized, and he turned to look to the side. Sure enough, Jiu Li and Weina had already entered.
"Ye Xingchen." As soon as she saw Ye Xingchen, Jiu Li rushed over enthusiastically and gave him a hug with open arms.
"You're here? How have you been these past few days? Nothing major has happened over there, right?" Ye Xingchen asked with a smile.
"It's nothing." Jiu Li shook her head, then said, "After Weina and I dealt with things over there, we rushed over. You said you found someone who might be related to our past?"
“Yes, Ye, where is that person you’re talking about? I have so many questions to ask him,” Vena rushed over and asked anxiously.
"Look, it's right here." Ye Xingchen pointed to Jess on the side.
"Ah, is that you?" Both of them were slightly taken aback when their gazes fell on Jess.
Because Jess is currently in a spirit form, he is wearing a robe from the early 20th century, making him look like an antique.
"Hi, hello. You... have a peculiar aura about you. That's right, it's August's aura. You are his disciples who were trained by him."
