Chapter 449: Succubus (19)
So Wen Wan took Qi Feng, Li Sha, Senior Sister Qi Ling, and Senior Brother Chu Feng down the mountain. The reason was not what Wen Wan was going to do, but that she had accepted a disciple mission from the Mingyuan Sect. This was the official reason, while the matter Wen Wan was going to do was a secret one. It has to be said that her two masters were very thoughtful.
Chu Feng: "Our mission this time is to go to Qiling Town. A wealthy family there said that there are demons causing trouble, and they even brought a notice to Mingyuan Sect and paid them 30,000 spirit stones as a reward."
When Wen Wan heard this, she realized that 30,000 spirit stones was no small sum!
This money must be earned.
"And the hometown of the Apocalypse Elder that you are looking for, Junior Sister, is Qiling Town. So if we go there, we might be able to get some clues about his descendants."
Wen Wan: "Then let's go to Qiling Town."
...
The group hurried along and finally arrived at Qiling Town half a month later.
It was a very bustling town. Chu Feng held the invitation and then asked a passerby, "Where does Chen Fu live?"
Clearly, the Chen family was no ordinary people. "You're from out of town? Sword cultivators?" A passerby noticed the swords carried on their backs. "You've come to resolve the strange affairs of the Chen family, haven't you? The Chen family is... go that way..."
Soon, passersby pointed out the direction, and the group hurried over. The jade pendant on Wen Wan's wrist, given to her by Master Tianqi, seemed to be moving and getting warm, which was obviously due to this place.
Looks like we've come to the right place.
We arrived at the Chen family's residence.
Wen Wan discovered that these were not only cultivators from their Mingyuan Sect, but also other cultivators from other sects, but none of them were the familiar direct disciples or anything like that; they were all junior disciples.
Wen Wan and the others naturally wouldn't reveal their identities as inner disciples, but instead entered as outer disciples.
The steward said, "Please have some tea, monks."
Tea was poured for Wen Wan and the others.
Senior Sister Qiling asked, "What exactly happened? Could you tell us in detail?"
The butler said, "My master is a medicine merchant who often supplies spiritual plant seeds and various medicinal herbs to various sects and schools. His business is very extensive, and he has always been kind to people. However, he has never had an heir. Our lady went to see a doctor, who said there was no problem. Later, a black-robed cultivator came to our mansion and said that he could help our lady conceive. So our master treated him as an honored guest. Moreover, that cultivator was also very capable. I don't know what he did, but in less than half a month, our lady really became pregnant. When she went to see a doctor, the doctor also said that the fetus was very healthy."
"Later, the man in black left. After that, the lady's belly grew bigger and bigger. It's normal for pregnant women to like spicy and sour foods, since sour foods are for boys and spicy foods are for girls. But the lady was different. She liked to eat raw meat and drink raw blood."
Hearing this, Wen Wan felt a chill run down her spine, as if she were listening to a horror story.
"And then what?" Wen Wan asked.
"Moreover, the lady's belly grew bigger and bigger, much bigger than that of an ordinary pregnant woman, but the doctor's examination showed no problems. After ten months, the lady gave birth and indeed gave birth to a healthy son. When the young master was born, he was different from other children. He was fair-skinned and tender, and he did not cry. Therefore, the master and lady were very happy and named him Chen Guangyuan, hoping that he would grow up healthy and make many good connections throughout his life."
"As young master Guangyuan grew older and more handsome, he looked less and less like the master and the madam."
Wen Yan: "???"
"What's the meaning?"
"Later, it was discovered that not only was Young Master Guangyuan not related to the Master by blood, but he was also not related to the wife who gave birth to him. However, the Master still loved the young master very much. He regarded the young master as a son given to him by God, not something that a mortal like himself could have. Moreover, the young master was much smarter than his peers. He was a genius from a young age and also had spiritual roots. This made the Master even more certain that Young Master Guangyuan was definitely a good seed for cultivating immortality. So he doted on Young Master Guangyuan even more and hired countless cultivators to be his teachers."
Wen Wan: "Isn't this a good thing? What happened later?"
The butler sighed, "Suddenly one day, Young Master Guangyuan changed. His temperament became extremely gloomy, but then he would suddenly become better again. This cycle repeated itself. And when he became gloomy, he was cruel, his eyes were cold, and you could even see a faint red light in them. He once scared a maid to death."
Wen Yan: "..."
He looked at Senior Brother Chu Feng and asked, "Senior Brother Chu Feng, what seems to be the reason for this?"
Chu Feng: "I don't know for now, but I have heard that some people are born with two souls, one good and one evil. Such people are very rare."
Qi Feng: "I have a different idea. This situation seems more like being possessed by a demon, doesn't it? Haven't you heard of demon seeds?"
Everyone stared wide-eyed.
Wen Wan looked at Qi Feng, "What do you mean? What demonic seed?"
Qi Feng: "I saw the description in a book in the library. The demon seed is a born demon fetus. However, it is extremely difficult for a demon fetus to grow and survive. So the demons came up with a method, which is to transplant the demon fetus into the womb of a cultivator with spiritual roots. Compared with ordinary people or demons, cultivators are more favored by the Heavenly Dao, so they can provide protection for the demon seed. After the demon seed is born, it will also be born of a cultivator and have karma, so it will not be detected and destroyed by the Heavenly Dao."
Wen Yan: "!!!"
"Is it really that heinous?"
Qi Feng looked at his young master with mixed feelings. Please, young master, we are all demons, so you can't say that, right? Isn't that insulting yourself?
"Is he a demon or a human?" Senior Sister Qiling asked curiously.
Wen Wan replied subconsciously, "They must be mixed-race."
I never expected that these would be hybrids; they're a bunch of perverts.
Senior Sister Qiling: "..." That makes some sense, since human-demon hybrids have existed before.
The butler stared wide-eyed, utterly incredulous. This was simply too far-fetched, even unacceptable to him. "The cultivator means that Young Master Guangyuan is... a demon? No, that can't be right. Although Young Master Guangyuan is unwell when he has an episode, he is kind to everyone when he is normal. How could he be a demon?"
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."
