Chapter 537 - 393: The One Undergoing Tribulation [4]

Inside the room.

The young woman looked at the figure before her, her tone hesitant.

"Second Brother! What are you doing here all of a sudden?"

Moonlight slanted in through the window lattice, outlining the young man’s silhouette in a silver glow.

The crimson hem of his robes hung down, like coagulated blood.

The Young Man turned. The Jade Token at his waist clinked softly, revealing a cold, stern face.

His face was covered in fine, red, snake-like scales, giving him a cold and demonic appearance.

But upon seeing the young woman, his cold expression softened slightly.

A slight smile touched his lips.

"Little Sister, you’ve been running wild outside for three months."

He clasped his hands behind his back and took a step closer.

"Now, it’s time for you to return to the Cave Abode with me and continue your Cultivation."

Hearing this, Jin Ling’Er blinked.

She grabbed the Young Man’s arm and began to swing it back and forth.

"Oh, come on, Second Brother. Just let me stay and play for a few more days! It’s so boring being cooped up at the bottom of the lake, doing nothing but Cultivation all day."

A helpless expression flashed across the Young Man’s face, but this time, he didn’t give in as he usually did.

"Little Sister, Cultivators have been flocking to Tai Lake County lately. They’re everywhere. You’re a member of the Demon Race. If you’re not careful and run into one, they might try to ’slay demons and vanquish evil.’ Even if those Cultivators are no match for you, they have Immortal Sects backing them up. It’s best not to antagonize them. Returning to the bottom of the lake to continue your Cultivation is the safest option," the Young Man said gravely.

"It’s fine, I’ll just be more careful," Jin Ling’Er pressed.

"Little Sister, don’t think I can’t see what’s on your mind. He’s human, and you’re a demon. Humans and the Demon Race can’t be together. If you force a union, he’ll be corrupted by your Demon Energy. You’d be harming him! You’ll turn him into a man destined for an early grave!" the Young Man scoffed.

Hearing this, Jin Ling’er froze.

Her face paled.

But she remained stubborn.

"I’m not! I just think he’s interesting, how could I possibly..."

However, before she could finish, she suddenly froze in place.

It wasn’t just her; the Young Man did as well.

A moment later, they both came to their senses and exchanged a look, pleasant surprise dawning on their faces.

"Big Brother is back!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, both their figures flickered and vanished from the room.

...

The night was black as ink, and a silver moon had quietly climbed into the sky.

The calm lake surface was like a vast mirror, shimmering and glinting under the moonlight.

By the lakeside, a figure stood with hands clasped behind his back, gazing at the water’s surface, lost in thought.

Just then, two dazzling rays of light, one red and one yellow, suddenly cut through the night sky like lightning.

The light swirled and gradually receded, resolving into two figures.

One was the Young Man in red robes, a Jade Token hanging from his waist and snake-like scales on his face.

The other was the lovely and charming Jin Ling’Er, dressed in a goose-yellow dress.

"Hong Yuan and Jin Ling’Er greet Big Brother!"

Upon seeing the figure, the two of them immediately knelt on one knee, their voices filled with reverence.

The figure was none other than Hu Qi, returned from the Celestial Mist Mountain Range.

He turned his head and glanced at the two.

These two were none other than his so-called "younger brother" and "younger sister."

Hong Yuan and Jin Ling’Er were the names of the two demons.

What concerned Hu Qi, however, was something else.

Both demons’ Cultivation had actually reached the Dao Foundation Realm.

Jin Ling’Er was at the Dao Foundation Seventh Layer, while Hong Yuan was even stronger, having reached the Dao Foundation Realm Ninth Layer.

Seventeen years was a considerable amount of time, neither long nor short.

However, under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for members of the Demon Race to reach such a level of Cultivation in that time.

Furthermore, compared to other members of the Demon Race, these two didn’t just possess a few human-like features like ordinary demons.

Instead, they had completely transformed into human form.

The demonic Features on their bodies were almost negligible.

This phenomenon was clearly not normal.

For an ordinary member of the Demon Race to achieve this, they would need to reach the Nascent Element Realm at a minimum to successfully complete their Transformation.

’I have a theory as to why.’

’These two are different from ordinary members of the Demon Race.’

’Ordinary demons mostly rely on instinct, Breathing the Earth’s and Heaven’s Spiritual Energy for their Cultivation. Their progress is incredibly slow.’

’It’s a long, arduous process, unless they get lucky and consume some Treasures of Heaven and Earth.’

’But these two have decent aptitude, and I taught them the Qi Refining Cultivation Technique. This Dharma Gate is far more refined and efficient.’

’Of course, that’s a secondary reason.’

’The most important factor is their origin. It’s not a simple one.’

Thinking of this, a faint, dark light glowed in his eyes.

His gaze fell upon Jin Ling’Er and Hong Yuan.

He activated his Heart Inference Divine Techniques.

In the next instant, threads of fate materialized from the void above the two demons’ heads, and lines of information appeared before him.

[Jin Ling’Er. Born on Lu Mountain. True form: Dao Foundation Realm Yellow Python. In truth, the reincarnation of the Tai Ze Lake Golden Dragon’s Spiritual Soul.

Destined to undergo a love tribulation in the mortal world with the Human King Wang Zhiyuan. In three years, she will give her all to help him complete the great feat of slaying a dragon.

Afterward, she will be reborn, undergoing Dragon Transformation to become Wang Zhiyuan’s mount and confidante...]

[Hong Yuan. Born on Lu Mountain. True form: Dao Foundation Realm Red Python. The reincarnation of the Tai Ze Lake Golden Dragon Demon Soul. Possesses a heavy killing aura, which is intrinsically linked to his Spirituality.

In three years, he will die at the hands of Wang Zhiyuan. All that he is will be devoured by Jin Ling’Er, becoming the fuel for her advancement...]

This was the fate of the two demons.

Their fate was tied to Tai Ze Lake by cause and effect.

They were the reincarnation of a Golden Dragon at the Divinity Transformation Realm Peak that had failed while Crossing the Immortal Tribulation a thousand years ago. After its death, its soul had split in two, becoming a Spiritual Soul and a Demon Soul.

After a long time, these two parts eventually coalesced and were reincarnated.
