So I Am A Demon Descendent! - Chapter 379

“God of War has died, and Li Peiyun ran away. I didn’t think San Wu could kill him. The original plan was to deal with Li Peiyun quickly, and then cooperate with her to kill God of War.”

 “I don’t know if you have realized this. Besides Baoze, there are people who are hunting for demon descendants that have entered the Great Deities Palace. Baoze and the major forces in the demon descendants’ community have been fighting openly and secretly at the same time for many years. We all want to weaken each other. We are hunting for them, and they may be hunting for us as well.”

 “It’s good to bump into you now. I dare not stop for a moment. It would be very dangerous if I met an opponent of the same level, given that she’s with me.”

 On the spread out picnic cloth, Equal was eating a can of codfish and telling him about what happened.

 “Why hasn’t she woken up?” Li Xianyu had examined San Wu’s physical condition. She had suffered serious injuries. Her internal organs and bones had experienced trauma to different extents. Before she met Li Xianyu, San Wu was seriously injured and comatose.

 Li Xianyu gave her a blood transfusion instantly. It had been more than half an hour. With her physical constitution, she would have woken up by now.

 Ordinary employees had one tube of blood each, while Baoze’s ten gods had two tubes each. This huge amount of the blood was the limit of what Li Xianyu could supply. Even though he was as strong as an ox, it still took several days for the employees involved in the mission of the Great Deities Palace to have one tube each.

 However, his blood had a very short shelf life. After one day, the self-healing effect was halved. After two days, it was halved again. After three days, it was the same as ordinary blood.

 It had been five days since they left Baoze for Mount Niu’s scenic area. The blood owned by the company’s employees had probably expired.

 “I don’t know. She’s in a bizarre situation.” Equal swallowed his food and thought for a moment, trying to describe San Wu’s situation at that time. “She gives me the feeling that she’s like a machine without feelings, which is different from the dullness she usually shows. I think it was related to her sudden outburst of potential to kill God of War.”

 They didn’t know what happened to her. The others changed their topic of conversation. Li Xianyu said, “I should be the one you guys are talking about. The one that’s hunting demon descendants.”

 Equal was stunned.

 “Revenge. There are many of them outside, but I have Great-Grandma. Everyone can’t touch each other. Here, there is no better time to take revenge. I’ve also helped you guys complete your mission,” Li Xianyu calmly said.

 It dawned on Equal. It was a good chance to get revenge. It was normal for Li Xianyu to strike now based on what happened to his father back then. He was not a monk, nor a philosopher who was an advocate of peace.

 “However, your murderous aura has deepened.” Equal looked at Li Xianyu’s eyebrows and asked, “How many people did you kill to assemble this aura?”

 It had only been a few days. Li Xianyu’s aura had changed a lot. He now possessed a thick sinister aura. Those with blood on their hands could scare and make children cry just by staring at them. Of course, Li Xianyu was not at that state, but compared with the boy a few days ago, Li Xianyu now gave off a threatening air.

 “He didn’t kill many people, but the ancient demon slough in his left hand was affecting him.” Hua Yang explained on behalf of her godson.

 Equal was surprised and admonished. “You should control your emotions then.”

 Equal, an S-class, had killed many people himself. However, he had never possessed an aura of hostility as heavy as that of Li Xianyu. It could be seen how terrifying the ancient demon slough was. Of course, in Equal’s case, his outstanding mental cultivation played a part in neutralising the sinister aura.

 “It’s okay. I’m not a murderer. After this time, I’ll pay attention to my mood. There was a prayer bead given to me by Buddha Head. There won’t be any problem,” Li Xianyu said.

 Thinking about it, it seemed like Buddha Head had anticipated his current situation.

 “In addition to me, there’s another force that’s hunting for demon descendants.”

 “There’s someone else?”

 “Well, there’s Thailand’s Holy Infant and another foreign power. Collectively, they are very powerful. They have about five peak S-classes. The most terrifying thing is that they also have over ten S-classes.”

 Upon hearing this, Equal sighed. “Describe the situation.”

 Li Xianyu told Equal what he knew.

 “You guessed it. Holy Infant is indeed the result of the misdeeds of Thailand’s official demon descendant organisation. America’s Association of Superpowered Beings is also involved in it,” Equal replied.

 “The Association of Superpowered Beings is involved too?” Li Xianyu was surprised.

 He didn’t expect this. He thought that it was the sole doing of Thailand’s official demon descendant organisation. However, after knowing the inside story and thinking about it again, he thought that it was purely it. In Thailand, which was such a small place, there were only that amount of demon descendants. If one wanted to secretly study the Holy Infant, human and material resources were the most realistic problems.

 “I don’t believe that the Association of Superpowered Beings doesn’t know that the Holy Infant had sneaked into the Great Deities Palace,” Equal declared in an experienced manner. “It’s very difficult to refine the Holy Infant. It needs to devour primordial spirits to grow. You say that the Holy Infant has reached Half-Step Gokudo Path. Let alone ordinary people, the primordial spirits of ordinary demon descendants are also insignificant. Where would they find such a high quality primordial spirit?”

 “The Great Deities Palace is the best opportunity, so they are also hunting the Holy Infant.” Li Xianyu realized instantly. “Fortunately, there are not many experts here this time. Wald Jones has been killed by Great-Grandma, and his student Eric has also been killed by me.”

 Including Victoria and her brother, the Association of Superpowered Beings’ forces numbered ten.

 “The question now is how those foreign powers got involved with the Holy Infant.” Equal frowned.

 “Very simply, if we talked about high-quality primordial spirits, Baoze’s will be the strongest amongst those in the Great Deities Palace,” Hua Yang said in a deep voice.

 “We’re not afraid of them,” Equal sneered.

 Li Xianyu smelt boasting there.

 Li Xianyu thought the same way. Although Baoze had no S-classes, all the senior employees were ruthless and had various abilities. They must have had special cooperation skills with each other and thus, wouldn’t be too afraid of those foreign S-classes.

 In terms of high-end combat power, the foreign peak S-classes were no match for Baoze’s ten gods. Great-Grandma could deal with the Holy Infant as well. Now, he was also a peak S-class. Great-Grandma would probably be a Half-Step Gokudo Path.

 Hua Yang had a different view. “You guys are in danger. According to your conjecture, the ten gods of Baoze have been dispersed. If they meet them, they would only die.”

 “The plan now is to bring everyone together. No matter whether the hunting mission is completed or not, it must be put on hold temporarily. Let’s deal with the Holy Infant first.” Equal made the right decision instantly.

 “What about it?” Li Xianyu pointed to the palace at the top of his finger.

 “It’s hanging there. It can’t run away,” Equal replied. “It’s embarrassing to say that we have no bird-like demon descendants in our entourage.”

 “It’s simple. Let’s just act like we’re very good.”

 “What did you say?” Equal thought that his words had a deep meaning.

 “Once we do this, we will be rocs.”

 “Say… Say it clearly.”

 “I’ll rise with the wind, and it will support me all the way up,” Li Xianyu said, flapping his arms to vividly express the meaning of his words.

 Equal pushed up his spectacles that were resting on the bridge of his nose, showing an awkward and polite smile. In his heart, he thought, What a fucking retard.

 At this time, San Wu snorted softly, frowned slightly and woke up from her coma.

 Li Xianyu was overjoyed. He grabbed her tiny waist and helped San Wu up. “You’re awake…”

 San Wu was not fully awake. Her body was stiff and she subconsciously struck Li Xianyu. He did not expect that she would attack. His face was hit by her arm, and his neck snapped.

 What a strong sense of wariness… Li Xianyu was stunned, but he was very happy when San Wu was able to wake up. At the same time, he was relieved. He was afraid that she would sleep for over ten days just like last time.

 The last time they met God of War in Sanliban Village, San Wu was seriously injured. In fact, her injuries were long gone. With him, as long as she didn’t die, it was alright. However, his self-healing ability could not heal her psychological injuries.

 Fortunately, she succeeded in killing the enemy. Otherwise, he feared she would be in a coma for a long time. The girl looked dull and stupid. She felt like a heartless person, but in fact, her psychological issues were deep-rooted.

 “It’s good that she has woken up,” Equal remarked, relieved.

 “Aiyo, I’m really…” Li Xianyu held his neck, clicked it back into place and complained. “If I didn’t have a self-healing ability, the whole village would come and find me.”

 He felt a little strange inside. San Wu used to be different. He didn’t know how she used to be. Anyway, when she was with him, she was obedient and didn’t have such a strong sense of wariness.

 Lowering his head, Li Xianyu’s mood sank when he looked at San Wu’s hollow, lifeless pair of eyes.

 “What’s the matter with you?”

 “I’m fine,” San Wu answered.

 “No, you have something that’s bothering you.”

 San Wu didn’t answer him again.

 Seeing that he was perturbed, Equal asked, “What’s the matter? What’s with San Wu?”

 Li Xianyu’s expression was indeed perturbed. “She… She is more…” He thought for a while, before coming up with an appropriate word to describe the current San Wu.

 “Empty.”

 Empty? Equal did not feel any difference. “Hasn’t she always been like this?”

 Hua Yang and Cui Hua nodded.

 “No, she, she…” Li Xianyu waved a few times, tried to explain to them, and helplessly put his hands down. “She was not like this before.”

 When he saw her for the first time, he only thought that San Wu was a girl with no intelligence. She was dull, stupid and emotionally lacking. However, when he got along with her, he realized that she was actually “alive” and that those emotions were just suppressed in her heart.

 It was like adding a layer of shackles to her emotions. She also felt the same way, as she tried hard to break free of those shackles.

 He couldn’t explain it to Equal and the others. Even if he managed to, they wouldn’t understand.

 No one in the world was more familiar with San Wu than Li Xianyu, except her teammates who were no longer alive. He firmly believed that he was the one who understood her the most and knew her the most.

 Now, San Wu felt like a machine without feelings.

 “I feel it now, when you say that.” Hua Yang looked at San Wu. “She no longer has any more changes in emotion. Although it used to be scarce in the past, there were still some instances of this occasionally, such as when you patted her head.”

 Li Xianyu reacted internally, reaching out to touch San Wu’s head.

 San Wu swatted his hand aside.

 Another touch.

 Another swat.

 Another touch.

 Another swat.

 His hand was frozen in the air as Li Xianyu looked at her, dazed.

 “What’s the matter?” Equal looked serious.

 Hua Yang whispered, “Let me enter her mental space to understand the situation.”

 Li Xianyu looked at her face which resembled a delicate doll and said softly, “San Wu, let Mother Hua Yang enter your mental space, okay?”

 San Wu remained silent for a while before nodding her head.

 Hua Yang disappeared within her eyebrows. After ten seconds, she came out. Her expression was grim.

 “Well?” Li Xianyu asked.

 “I saw chaos in her sea of consciousness,” Hua Yang said.

 “Chaos?” Li Xianyu was at a loss.

 “Yes, if people’s emotions had a ready-made color, red represents passion, yellow represents brightness, black represents depression, and so on.”

 “That chaos…”

 Hua Yang didn’t say another word.

 “Chaos equates to no emotions.” Equal pounded the ground with his fist. “Fuck, how can this be?”

 Li Xianyu was stunned and stupefied. After a long time, he remarked hoarsely, “What happened?”

 Hua Yang shook her head.

 “I remember the events of the past,” Cui Hua said, looking at Li Xianyu. She realized that he was rarely so shocked. She felt a little sour and jealous. “Her situation reminds me of a Gokudo Path from the Ancient Gods’ Clan.”

 The Ancient Gods’ Clan had its era of brilliance back then. Li Xianyu hated everyone from there. That Gokudo Path expert was probably active during the period of the Beiyang government’s ruling.

 “At that time, I was young and had just awoken. I traveled around the world with my master to help the world and save the people. At that time, it was chaotic. All the provinces in the country broke away from the Qing Dynasty and were clamouring for independence. My master was entrusted to protect a governor, who was repeatedly the target of assassination attempts by the Ancient Gods’ Clan. He lived in great fear all day long.”

 At this time, Li Xianyu’s knowledge of the late Qing Dynasty history came into place. After the 1911 Revolution, all provinces in the country clamoured for independence. Countless officials of the Qing Dynasty were killed along with their whole families. The armed forces came together to form a warlord separatist regime subsequently.

 “My master was Half-Step Gokudo Path. I thought that he would be able to handle the situation. Who knew that the Ancient Gods’ Clan sent out a super killer?” Cui Hua’s right paw slapped the ground in a manner like how a gambler did when he lost money in a game of cards.

 “The guy wasn’t saved in the end. My master was also badly hurt. He said that that guy was a desperate executioner. He was born without feelings. He was born to kill. I saw him, and I hid under the table, shivering. Now, San Wu is very similar to him.”

 “Because of that injury, Master was bothered by ailments. He died within a few years.”

 “San Wu’s feelings do exist, she is just not good at expressing them.” Li Xianyu suddenly understood Cui Hua’s words and became very agitated.

 “She no longer has any more feelings.” Cui Hua looked at San Wu, then looked at him, and said in a weak voice.

 Li Xianyu’s body shivered.

 “No wonder. It’s no wonder they want to train San Wu to become like this. They want to replicate the Gokudo Path expert back then. Perhaps, San Wu is the selected Gokudo Path inheritor.” Equal came to a sudden realization.

 He felt a bit sad, as well as pity for what happened to San Wu. However, he was more surprised above all.

 The honor of being a Gokudo Path inheritor was the dream for all demon descendants even though it was ridiculous. However, based on the facts, San Wu had changed.

 Her aura had become a lot stronger.

 “San Wu,” Li Xianyu called out softly. The latter looked up at him. “Long Aotian…”

 San Wu looked at him and remained silent.

 “Long Aotian…”

 He repeated Long Aotian’s name over and over again, but he could not get a witty reply from San Wu. Cuckold, cuckold…

 “What she wants is neither the power nor the glory of being a Gokudo Path inheritor. What she wants is always something simple.” Li Xianyu came to her side and gently embraced the girl. “She just wants to live like an ordinary person that has many friends. She has saved a lot of money on her card, waiting to meet someone who she is willing to spend on.”

She was still her, but no longer her. There was no more happiness, anger and sorrow, and no more thoughts of having friends. The man who embraced her had also turned into an ordinary colleague.

 The atmosphere suddenly became depressed as Hua Yang sighed silently.

 Equal scratched his head in a frustrated manner.

 Cui Hua sprawled on the ground in a daze.

 After a long time, Li Xianyu squeezed out some words from his throat. “I had painstakingly walked into her heart…”

 Have I ever really walked into your heart?
