“Eat…eaten?!!”
Gu Qingze's eyes were full of disbelief, and he almost doubted whether there was something wrong with his hearing.
"You...your father actually ate...ate your mother?!!" His voice trembled, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from his throat.
Murong Jin was already accustomed to his shock. He let out a light breath, as if paving the way for his next words:
"In our demon world, especially among our demon clan, loving someone means wanting to integrate them into one's life. It's an impulse to devour the other person."
"If someone can arouse the appetite of the demons, making them feel that they are delicious and want to devour them, then that is proof of love."
His tone was calm, yet revealed a strange kind of affection. "This is just our unique way of expressing love."
Murong Jin's eyes gently passed over Gu Qingze: "My father's love for my mother is deep and passionate."
"He was also a leader among the demons. He held fast to his love for his mother until the very last moment of her life. Only then did he finally release his long-suppressed appetite and lust, integrating his mother's remains into his own."
"All of this was allowed by my mother. It was the last gift she gave to my father." Murong Jin's words revealed a barely perceptible yearning.
Murong Jin noticed that Gu Qingze was still confused, so he tried to explain it in a more understandable way:
"Think about it: when two hearts are tightly connected by love, a transcendental understanding and longing quietly grows between them. This is not just a feast for the taste buds, but also a fusion and destination of the soul."
"'Eat,' in the demonic world, is endowed with the most romantic and sacred meaning. It is no longer a simple act of devouring and annihilating, but rather the eternal union sought by two hearts under the impact of extreme emotions."
"Imagine, as night falls and the stars twinkle, a pair of demon lovers stand in the boundless wilderness, their eyes filled with longing and deep affection for each other."
"At that moment, time seemed to stand still, everything around them became blurred, and only their heartbeats and breathing echoed in the night sky."
"They slowly approached, as if two planets met at the end of the universe. Their lips gently touched, and at that moment, it seemed as if countless sparks bloomed in the night sky, illuminating the entire demon world."
Then, he "eats" his beloved in a gentle fusion. Their bodies gradually become transparent in contact, as if two forces are penetrating and merging with each other. Their heartbeats begin to synchronize, their breathing becomes consistent, and their souls achieve perfect unity in that moment.
"This was a 'consumption' without pain, only joy. They shared the power of life and each other's souls. In this wonderful fusion, they found the true meaning of life and their eternal destination."
"When everything is over, the perfect fusion of their souls and bodies transcends life and death, becoming an eternal love. Isn't this a very romantic thing?"
Gu Qingze muttered to himself: I don't understand it at all! Where's the romance in this? This is worse than hell!
But he pretended to be calm on the surface, as an inexplicable doubt welled up in his heart: "Senior Murong, what if two demons fell in love with each other?"
"Then it depends on who turns this love into action first." Murong Jin's eyes flickered with a complex expression. "Whoever takes that step first will have a deeper love. And the demon who is eaten will feel incomparable happiness and satisfaction."
Gu Qingze muttered to himself: This logic is really hard to understand... However, if falling in love at first sight means being eaten, then wouldn't the number of demons decrease dramatically?
Countless strange questions popped up in his mind, but he just nodded slightly, pretending to have suddenly understood.
Seeing that he was silent, Murong Jin continued, "I am considered lucky because I am a half-human, half-demon hybrid. Although I will have an appetite for someone I like, I can still barely control it and will not lose control like a pure-blooded demon."
Gu Qingze forced a smile: "Then Senior Murong really combines the best of both worlds."
However, these words did not seem to make Murong Jin happy.
He sighed, "Actually, I'd rather be a pure-blooded demon. That way, my innate abilities would be even stronger, and in the demon world, pure-blooded demons always stand at the top of the discrimination chain."
Innate ability...Gu Qingze's heart moved, which made him think of Ling Xiao. Could it be like the mysterious eyes that Ling Xiao had after his bloodline awakened, which could see through the emotions of all things in the world and obtain information?
He nodded thoughtfully, pretending to be puzzled on the surface: "Discrimination chain?"
"That's right," Murong Jin explained. "Pure-blooded demons are at the top of the discrimination chain. Their abilities and talents are unparalleled. Mixed-blooded demons are in the middle, and at the bottom are those cultivators who have become demons for various reasons."
"Those cultivators who have been possessed by demons are not considered true demons in the eyes of the demons. They do not have demon blood, so naturally they cannot possess the demon's innate abilities."
Murong Jin's tone revealed a hint of disdain. "Moreover, most of them fell into the devil's way because of the devilish thoughts they developed during their cultivation and were unable to extricate themselves. Their minds are even more brutal than those of the demons, cruel and bloodthirsty, and their mental states are extremely unstable."
"There are numerous cultivators who have become possessed by demons, committing crimes everywhere and tarnishing the reputation of the demon race. Although the demon race doesn't care about this, they are unwilling to take the blame for something they didn't do."
