Eternal Life: I Can Sell Everything

Chapter 304 - 297: The Bottomless Abyss Behind the Second Young Master

In the world of the Heart Demon, Song Ciwan saw many more fragmented images.

The protagonist of most of these images was the young Second Young Master. And the content, without exception, all depicted scenes of the Second Young Master being tormented and "tamed" by his "Mother Consort."

At first, Song Ciwan was naturally shocked. But later, after seeing so many, the shock vanished, leaving only a sense of detached lament.

She gradually began to possess an almost otherworldly calm. In her Sea of Consciousness, the stagnant deity within seemed to have finally broken free from the ice.

The deity sat enthroned, looking down upon the transformations of the Demon Seed.

More broken images flooded in. Then, at a certain moment, the Second Young Master was grown!

And then, amidst these fragmented scenes, Song Ciwan suddenly saw a sight that was seared deep into her memory.

The scene featured pavilions and terraces, steaming pools, lush flowers and trees, Dancing Girls weaving through the crowd, and the tinkling of jade pendants...

Everything appeared so lavish and magnificent—a land of gentle splendor, a world of soft, worldly pleasures.

Soon, however, a horrifying change began to unfold in this opulent, sensual scene.

From among the flowers and trees, a debauched, bare-chested human man suddenly grabbed a beautiful maiden dancing in the pools, yanking her over, ripping her clothes, and engaging in a primitive struggle.

Amidst the fleeing screams of singers and Dancing Girls, a sinister-looking man at the head of the party suddenly raised his hand, pulling a Beautiful Maid toward him. With a single palm strike, he shattered her skull. As he held his palm over her, a pillar of blood like a long dragon gushed from the top of the Beautiful Maid’s ruined head.

The man at the head opened his mouth and rapturously drank the column of blood.

The Beautiful Maid under his palm convulsed until she collapsed to the ground, reduced to a dry skeleton.

’How is a scene like this any different from outright cannibalism?’

This scene was almost identical to one Song Ciwan had once remotely glimpsed in Su Yang City while cleansing a certain Mouse Demon corpse!

Back then, Song Ciwan’s remote viewing had triggered the man’s sense of danger. In an instant, he had abruptly looked up and launched a counterattack across the distance, following the path of her scrying!

If not for the immense distance between them at the time, and the timely appearance of the Heaven and Earth Scale, which absorbed his remote probe, Song Ciwan likely would have met her end right then and there.

Even so, Song Ciwan had paid a heavy price, suffering severe injuries just to survive.

Fortunately, the Heaven and Earth Scale had intercepted a [Probe from a Divinity Transformation Expert]. Song Ciwan later sold it and obtained the First Layer of Fetal Transformation and Shape-shifting. To this day, this Celestial Spirit Dao Skill remained one of her most useful.

With such a history, how could Song Ciwan not have a deep impression of this scene?

But last time, for some unknown reason, Song Ciwan had not been able to see the man’s face clearly.

She only knew of such a person, of that sinister silhouette, and a clear call of a single word: "Erlang!"

’Which Erlang?’

Logically, this Erlang had to be the Second Prince of Giant Deer Country—the true culprit who had dispatched the so-called "Flower God" to abduct young girls during the mouse infestation in Su Yang City.

The detestable Erlang, the Second Prince, had always been at the very top of Song Ciwan’s enemy list!

For a long time, Song Ciwan had not sought revenge, not because she had forgotten this grudge, but because the Second Prince was too mysterious. She had no way to find him.

Only now, within the Second Young Master’s Heart Demon, did she glimpse that familiar scene again—and this time, it was clearer and more complete. It dawned on Song Ciwan: ’So they are one and the same—the Second Young Master is the Second Prince!’

She didn’t know how, but it was as if she had been suffering from a mental block before, completely failing to connect the two.

Thinking about it now, there was a reason she had never made the connection.

After all, there was a huge paradox between them. First, the Second Prince was the Second Prince of the Mouse Demon Realm, Giant Deer Country. Therefore, this Second Prince should be a demon, not a human.

Second, the Second Young Master was a Celestial Pride and honored guest, acknowledged by all the high-level Cultivators in Pinglan City. He came from "above"...

’From where "above"? Without a doubt, this "above" must be connected to the Central State, to Shangjing, or even to the Great Zhou Imperial Family!’

’A noble from the Central State, from Shangjing, or possibly even from the Great Zhou Imperial Family... He... could be involved with the Demon Race? He might not even be human, but a demon, or... a Half-Demon?’

It was a possibility Song Ciwan had never dared to even consider before!

It wasn’t that her thinking wasn’t bold enough. It was simply that the Great Zhou Court’s rule had always been powerful.

For over seven hundred years, this sole nation of the Human Race in the Nine Provinces Land had become the most sacred and indestructible faith in the hearts of the people.

Even living within it, the common folk still inevitably faced birth, aging, sickness, death, and countless hardships. But no matter what, this was a world ruled by the Human Race. Within Great Zhou, a person could still be called a person, still have a glimmer of hope, a reason to live.

But in the Outer Demon Countries, a human was not necessarily a human anymore.

Just as the Human Race views beasts as food, the Demon Race views the Human Race as food!

One could only imagine... if certain figures in the Great Zhou Court, or rather, the Great Zhou Imperial Family, appeared human but were not... if they might even be a Half-Demon, or worse, a demon and not a human at all... how terrifying would that be?

Before this was confirmed, had Song Ciwan dared to think it?

She hadn’t dared.

And now that it was confirmed, Song Ciwan dared not think about it any deeper.

She suddenly realized that by making an enemy of the Second Young Master, she had plunged headfirst into a bottomless abyss!

’This abyss must hide endless undercurrents and infinite terror. The waters run too deep for the current me to wade into.’

Today, right now, she had to be here, and she had to kill the Second Young Master utterly and completely!

She couldn’t leave a single trace behind. She had to end all her grievances here in the Demon Realm.

At this moment, Song Ciwan’s killing intent flared intensely, like the star Ying Huo trembling in the night sky, its fall unleashing a torrent of fire from the earth.

Never before had her will been so clear and resolute.

In her Sea of Consciousness, the Heart Sutra Fire and the Bright God Fire surged. The two fires alternated, burning the faintly floating Heart Demon Seed until it was a brilliant, lustrous green, like a gemstone.

A minuscule wisp of black energy drifted out from above the Heart Demon Seed, and the dark spot that had originally clung to the Demon Seed vanished completely.

Song Ciwan opened her eyes. For an instant, her gaze was like a bolt of lightning.

She saw the giant mouse across from her throw its head back and roar, "SQUEAK—"

The giant mouse went berserk, charging wildly in Song Ciwan’s direction.

As it ran, the dark green sap from the small pools splashed everywhere. Some of it landed on Song Ciwan, bringing a refreshing coolness.

Song Ciwan immediately gathered her energy and focused her mind, raising one hand.

The giant mouse’s charge was like a shaking mountain. Overwhelming, shattered demonic thoughts and a terrifying pressure, as if the heavens were falling and the earth splitting asunder, all crashed down on Song Ciwan in that moment.

In an instant, they made contact.

The giant mouse spoke in a human voice, "You cur, you deserve to die!"

BAM!

It brought its foot down on Song Ciwan as if to crush an ant.

But Song Ciwan’s palm shot out like an electric snake. Parting the giant mouse’s long white fur, it struck squarely in the center of its chest!
