Chapter 382 Transition Chapter (Part 2)
Yu Huo's Self-narration
Asura belongs to the upper three paths. Female Asuras are as beautiful as fairies, while male Asuras are strange in appearance.
The Shura lineage also has another nickname - the incomplete god.
They have the power of gods, but also the seven emotions and six desires of humans, including jealousy, arrogance, and bellicosity. Therefore, they cannot be absolutely fair and can only endure the baptism of karma fire year after year and be reborn in pain.
But I am an outlier. When I was born, everyone thought I was a girl at first, but when they saw the little baby below, they all dropped their jaws in shock.
That’s right, I’m the best-looking kid in the Shura lineage. I have good conditions myself, and I usually hang out with a bunch of weird-looking uncles and aunts with tentacles and eyes. You can imagine how favored I am.
But unfortunately, I did not fully inherit the power of the Shura lineage.
I heard that the year my mother gave birth to me, the emotions of the River Styx took on a physical form. Good and evil could not tolerate each other, fighting openly and secretly. In the final battle, my mother was affected by the energy of His Majesty Pluto and almost lost me.
In other words, I should be considered a 'premature baby', so when I became an adult, my slippery skin could not withstand the test of karmic fire.
But the day before I came of age, my parents came back with injuries all over their bodies. Without saying anything, they stuffed a pitch-black bead into my mouth.
The bead was only as big as the nail of my little finger. It had no taste when I put it in my mouth. It went down my throat into my stomach, and then I fell asleep.
On the day I became an adult, no miracle happened and I still turned into ashes.
But for some reason, my consciousness didn't dissipate. I clearly felt myself being 'lifted' up, and then began to drift in the reincarnation pool...
When I opened my eyes again, I had become a baby who only knew how to drink milk and was in an orphanage.
There is a very cute sister in the orphanage. She always brings supplies to visit us on weekends. She is very thin and pretty, but a little weird.
She told me that she could tell fortunes and draw talismans to exorcise ghosts.
Then she accepted me as her apprentice, and the first lesson was to open my third eye.
She was waiting to see me crying miserably because of being scared by all kinds of ghosts, but who knew that when the ceremony was over, I opened my eyes and almost scared her to tears myself.
Because after opening my third eye, my eyes...are scarlet.
After my master taught me all the skills and my performance surpassed his, she never appeared again.
Then, the dean said that my biological parents had appeared and wanted to take me home.
I was very skeptical, but I looked a lot like my mother, and with the paternity test in front of me, I had no choice but to believe it and follow them away.
My parents are very rich. They own a big hotel and they spoil me so much that they won't even punish me even if I get the last place in the exam.
They told me that not being on the list doesn’t mean I have no way out, so I shouldn’t be discouraged.
Gradually, I began to return the same affection to them, until the day of my 18th birthday, when I realized that my parents... seemed not to be human!

"Son, make a wish!"
"Yes, hurry up, it's already twelve o'clock!"
At his parents' urging, Yu Huo closed his eyes.
He made a random and unreliable wish, "I wish my whole family could live forever," and then slowly opened his eyes.
When I opened my eyelids, I saw my mother's face, which was more beautiful than the big stars on TV.
"Baby, blow out the candles."
Yu Huo nodded, puffed up his cheeks and blew hard!
The next second, the room was pitch black, with only the silvery moonlight outside the window illuminating the room.
Yu Huo looked at his parents in front of him with a smile, his eyes swept across the faint shadows imprinted on the wall, and then his expression froze and his pupils trembled.
I saw that the shadow belonging to my father on the wall suddenly began to become blurred, as if something was slowly crawling underneath.
Suddenly, a slender tentacle emerged from the blurry shadow and kept shaking, as if looking for a target.
Then, the second, third, fourth... tentacles appeared one after another. Those tentacles were soft, yet full of power, and one look at them was chilling.
Yu Huo raised his hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously. When he looked at the wall again, his father's shadow was reflected on the wall, as if everything he had just seen was an illusion.
"What are you looking at?" Mom asked softly.
Yu Huo quickly shook his head: "I didn't see anything."
"Then cut the cake quickly. It's time to go to bed after eating."
Yu Huo glanced at his father who had spoken. The moonlight fell on his profile, making his appearance look even colder.
Yu Huo breathed a sigh of relief.
How could such a handsome dad have tentacles?
It must be because their hotel is too "dirty" and his father has been infected with evil spirits!
Yu Huo shook his head, took two bites of cake, threw a peace amulet to his father and prepared to go to bed.
After returning to the room, he slept restlessly, thinking about it over and over again, afraid that some strange "thing" might be staying in the hotel today. What if the amulet couldn't calm him down?
After all, the Taoist priest his parents hired before was not very reliable. He didn't even notice the big evil spirit living in the store. He could only talk nonsense and cheat people out of money.
Yu Huo looked at the ceiling above his head, sat up suddenly, and then took a brush and drew another "thunder-inducing talisman" on the table.
After doing this, he prepared to go find his parents and give them the talisman for self-defense.
The villa was very quiet. Yu Huo walked slowly through the corridor and came to his parents' master bedroom. The door was not closed tightly. Yu Huo did not push the door open directly, but wanted to knock on the door with his fingers.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from inside the door: "You idiot, you almost got exposed just now!"
Yu Huo's hand stopped in mid-air, a look of deep thought flashed across his eyes, and he did not move any further.
The next second, his father's aggrieved voice came from the crack of the door: "I didn't do it on purpose. This skin is really uncomfortable to wear. I always want to scratch it..."
"You still dare to quibble?"
"No, no, don't get excited. Our son is already an adult. There's no need to pretend anymore, right?"
What skin? What disguise?
Yu Huo took a step back and his face turned pale.
He suddenly remembered a novel he had read before. The novel was about a city infiltrated by monsters. On the day when children there turned eighteen, they would be eaten by their 'parents' who had been replaced by the monsters.
Although this idea is unreliable, it is true that his parents are hiding something from him.
However, what troubled him even more was that... his parents loved him so much that he couldn't see any trace of pretense in their love, and he didn't want to believe it.
Yu Huo looked at the shadow on the ground through the crack in the door. Tentacles emerged from the blurry shadow, and the whole room began to be filled with a strange atmosphere. The more he looked at the shadow, the more creepy it became.
He stumbled out of the villa, feeling extremely confused.
The night wind was very cold and there were few pedestrians on the road. Yu Huo, holding a "lightning talisman", had walked to the door of the hotel run by his family without knowing when.
At this moment, a slender figure suddenly came from across the street. The man was wearing a long windbreaker and looked...
If you were in a busy city, it would be the kind of thing that would make you twist your head off when you saw it.
The other party quickly walked in front of him, then stopped strangely and handed him a thin card.
Room card?
Yu Huo asked, "Have one-night stands become so crude and simple now?"
The other party didn't say anything and continued to maintain this posture, as if he couldn't avoid the fire.
After a few seconds of stalemate, Yu Huo's eyes swept across the other person's beautiful face, and his heart was shamefully moved.
He took the room card and turned it over to see: Fengyang Hotel
Yu Huo immediately said: "This one won't do. If my mother knew about it, she would break my legs..."
But in front of him, the person's figure had long disappeared, as if he had never appeared.
The next second, a strange electronic AI voice suddenly came to my ears.
