Demons may claim they can become immortals, but people generally despise them, believing they should be human mounts. However, demons can transform into humans, bewitch them, and indiscriminately kill innocents.
For years, they have been the target of cultivators, and the children born from the union of demons and humans are hated by both the human and demon realms.
She was used to being ostracized and beaten since childhood, but all she wanted was to live. She wanted to cultivate immortality, to prove the Dao, and to show that none of this was her fault.
"Pour me a cup of tea first, so I can moisten my throat."
Jingyao felt uncomfortable, as if her spellcasting had been interrupted. Frustrated, she poured Mingyue a cup of tea and waited for Mingyue's instructions.
After drinking tea, which finally cleansed her palate from the greasiness of the mutton, Mingyue spoke softly, "Is there anything else?"
Jing Yao shook her head. "No."
"Then go back and cultivate."
Jing Yao exclaimed, "But I'm half-human and half-demon, I'll embarrass you..."
"My abilities don't depend on you to make me proud. Do you want to embarrass me?"
Jing Yao was speechless. Well, her master's strength was indeed beyond anyone's reach. She wanted to learn from her master!
As soon as Jing Yao left, A Yue jumped out and asked, "Why does she also have good fortune?"
"Discern for yourself."
The attitude towards A-Yue clearly cooled down, as if the spring breeze of March had suddenly turned into a cold winter.
A-Yue: ……
Why don't you like me?
"No."
I hate you!
A-Yue glared angrily with her big eyes.
Mingyue hummed indifferently, "Okay, go play."
That naughty kid, all he does is hang around in front of me all day, ruining my appetite.
A-Yue stomped her foot and ran out.
Mingyue sighed and had no choice but to follow. If the brat caused trouble, she would be the one to clean up the mess.
A-Yue, who had run away, stopped Jing Yao after a few steps. She circled around Jing Yao and then returned to face her. "What's your name?"
Jing Yao ignored the child in front of her and took out a nougat candy from her pocket. "Little kid, where are your parents?"
"You're the child! I'm your ancestor, you know that?!"
A-Yue immediately exploded. How could she be a child? She's the ancestor! Does the ancestor even know that?
Jing Yao silently withdrew her hand. What a brat. Oh well, she decided not to stoop to his level.
"Wait, where are you going? You haven't told me your name yet."
A-Yue stopped Jing-Yao again, her relentless attitude finally pushing Jing-Yao to her limit. After calmly glancing around to make sure no one else was there, she bent down and met A-Yue's gaze. "Kid, didn't your family teach you to speak politely?"
"What do you want to do? Do you want to hit your ancestors again? I'm warning you, if you dare to hit me, I won't let you off the hook."
A-Yue kept a wary distance from Jing Yao; that look was so familiar—she'd seen it on that stinky guardian before.
"ah--"
"You hit me! You actually hit your ancestor! Waaaaah..."
Jing Yao's lips twitched. This brat wouldn't admit defeat until he was faced with the truth. "Still calling yourself my ancestor? Call me 'sister'!"
The sound of slapping was crisp and pleasant.
Mingyue decided to wait a while before going out.
Sobbing, A-Yue refused to compromise, "You wait, my guardian is Mingyue, you're finished!"
Jing Yao's hand trembled and she let go of A Yue. Looking closely, the child's eyebrows and eyes did resemble her master's, but she didn't know that her master had a partner and a child.
"Now you know fear, huh? Let me tell you, I'll show you what the majesty of our ancestors really means!"
A-Yue gritted her teeth, covering her swollen bottom. She didn't like this chosen one!
