Chapter 294: Chapter 292: The Demon Race Appears, Swords Drawn

「Several days later.」

Su Qing was feeling quite content.

His recent luck had been good, allowing him to synthesize more than twenty Standardizations that increased his aptitude.

It was an incredibly comfortable feeling.

At this rate, it would take less than a month for Su Qing to raise his aptitude back to its previous level.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK~

Someone was knocking on the courtyard gate.

The next moment, it was kicked open.

"Bai Qing, what in the world did you do?!" The more Li Qingsha thought about it, the angrier she became. She had been abruptly reassigned.

Furthermore, the lecher case she had been working on was suddenly taken from her.

In the past few days, it seemed the only person Li Qingsha had offended was this Bai Qing standing before her.

At this moment, Su Qing was lounging on a wicker chair, not moving a muscle.

"First, fix the gate."

"Second, let this be a lesson to you. You can’t just slander anyone you please."

Su Qing’s tone was icy, his eyes perfectly calm. He had already used Inference to predict that Li Qingsha would act this way.

She was an impulsive girl, only eighteen years old, just barely an adult.

In the Mortal Realms, one was generally considered an adult around the age of sixteen.

But Su Qing judged by a standard of eighteen.

Li Qingsha immediately swallowed her anger. Gazing at the young yet utterly unfamiliar man before her, she felt an indescribable pressure.

When they first met, he had been a very gentle person.

But now, he had become incomparably cold.

"Third, get out of my sight. Chief Li, you’ve trespassed on private property. I wonder what would happen if I were to report you again?" Su Qing said slowly, his tone still just as frigid.

Su Qing had already run his Inferences.

After this encounter, Li Qingsha wouldn’t come looking for trouble with him again.

His life would become much more peaceful.

Su Qing’s words forced Li Qingsha to stare at him, wide-eyed.

It was as if she were witnessing the complexity of human nature for the first time.

"You..." Li Qingsha didn’t know what to say.

After all, she was the one who had slandered him first.

"I’ll have the gate fixed." In the end, Li Qingsha relented. This man before her had no need to be a lecher; she had simply been judging everyone through a lens that painted all men as villains.

This time, she had truly learned her lesson.

...

Su Qing’s courtyard gate was repaired in less than half a day.

Su Qing felt very comfortable again.

Peace and quiet.

Finally, peace and quiet. As long as nothing unexpected happened, Su Qing could use this limited time to successfully raise his Nascent Soul Technique to the Perfection Realm.

...

「That night.」

Within Chunshui Country, on a small boat with a rain canopy, a Seventh Realm existence stood at the prow, her captivating eyes gazing at the surroundings.

Beside her, a Sixth Realm existence accompanied her, looking just as relaxed.

Both were wearing the Black Cloaks essential in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

The cloaks concealed most of their bodies and faces; even their faces were covered by masks that obscured their entire countenances.

"How beautiful," the Seventh Realm Cultivator sighed in admiration.

Even at night, the atmosphere and scenery were unique.

The Sixth Realm Cultivator also quietly admired the surrounding scenery.

"Your Majesty, the living beings of the Spirit Realm seem to have even stronger desires than those of the Demon Realm."

"Don’t say such things to spoil the mood."

"We are only here to look at the scenery."

"Yes."

The Demonic Qi on both of their bodies was completely retracted. Su Qing had no idea that, by pure coincidence, he was so close to a Seventh Realm and a Sixth Realm expert from the Demon Realm.

If Su Qing knew, he would have definitely made a run for it.

"Your Majesty, where shall we go next?"

"We’ll absorb some more Spiritual Qi and try to expand this Pocket World a bit. I want to turn my Pocket World into a Little Spirit Realm!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"We will sightsee here for a few days, then leave for Qingsu Island to have a look."

...

「The next day.」

Su Qing felt extremely uncomfortable.

He had a sense of unease.

But he just couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong.

Staying in his courtyard didn’t seem to alleviate this feeling of unease either.

It even made him lose all interest in synthesizing Spirit Fruits.

Putting away the Array Plate, Su Qing slowly walked out of his courtyard.

He needed to clear his head for a bit.

It was just too strange.

Shuiyang Villa.

This was a courtyard built by the water, which also served as a chic establishment, because the surrounding waterscape was quite lovely.

There were also many willows swaying in the breeze.

Needless to say, the scenery was exquisite.

Su Qing finally understood why it was called Chunshui Country.

The scene truly felt like springtime; a spring breeze blew with a trace of warmth, making one feel much more relaxed.

Su Qing sat down, ordered some morning tea and a few pastries, and slowly took in the atmosphere.

"Your Majesty."

The voice was a telepathic message.

The Sixth Realm Cultivator sat nearby. She could clearly sense that Su Qing was different, strange.

Moreover, the emotional aura he exuded in response to the scenery had actually reached the level of the Fifth Realm.

The Seventh Realm Demon Race member also sensed this. She narrowed her eyes, looking in Su Qing’s direction.

"Too strange."

"Yiduo, have you seen through his Cultivation?" the Seventh Realm Cultivator asked, finding it very odd.

An emotional aura comparable to the Fifth Realm could not possibly be emitted by this ordinary Human Race member before them.

Even someone reincarnated with their Cultivation wouldn’t possess this level of power.

"Your Majesty, I can’t see through it either. All I know is that he is an ordinary member of the Human Race, with no distinguishing features."

"I suspect he is a hidden Cultivator."

"So what if he’s a Cultivator? Even if he’s in the Fifth Realm, we can’t start a conflict. He hasn’t noticed us, either."

"Your Majesty, should I go and try to entice him?"

"It seems... you can give it a try."

While the two women communicated telepathically, Su Qing was watching the scenery, calming his mind.

For some reason, however, the feeling of unease seemed to be growing stronger.

A woman approached from Su Qing’s right. He only noticed her when she entered his peripheral vision.

He was stunned for a moment. ’What kind of woman can evade my spiritual sense?’

He looked up and saw an incomparably beautiful woman. A beauty mark near the corner of her lips accentuated her endless charm, and the proud peaks on her chest hung before her like pendants.

Her every move seemed to bewitch the hearts of men, as if in perfect harmony with the will of heaven.

Su Qing’s God Demon Devouring Universe Map instantly and frantically manifested.

In a flash, Su Qing’s Spirit Platform cleared, and his reason returned.

He immediately took a large step to his left.

’There’s something wrong with this woman.’

"Your Majesty, my seductive arts have no effect," Yiduo sent via telepathy.

The Seventh Realm Demon Race member instantly tensed. ’A Sixth Realm’s seductive arts were useless?’

’Could it be a hidden Cultivator of the same Seventh Realm, warning the two of them?’

"I don’t believe we’ve met, miss from an Exotic Realm?" Su Qing asked, looking strangely at her face.

She was beautiful, but she possessed a natural charm, like a Desire Demon of the Demon Race.

However, she had no Demonic Qi on her body, leaving Su Qing unable to make a judgment.

"No, we have never met before."

"Then why are you standing so close to me?"

Su Qing didn’t know why, but his right eyelid was twitching uncontrollably, and the unease in his heart kept flaring up.

God Demon-breaking Immortal Pupil.

A legendary golden glow~

Two legendary golden glows~

The moment Su Qing’s eyes began to glow, both women tensed up. A trace of Demonic Qi was triggered, because they both sensed Su Qing’s Magical Power.

A golden legendary glow—that was a level of destiny that only a Cultivator at the Fifth Realm or above could possess.

But when Su Qing noticed their Demonic Qi, he took another large step back.

"Demon Race!"

The atmosphere between the three of them grew tense and heavy, like drawn swords and taut crossbows.

The Array Plate on Su Qing’s person had already been activated.

"Cultivator of the Human Race, the two of us are merely here to sightsee. We will not make a move."

"Do not break the pact between us."

The woman’s voice was tactful and pleasant, as lovely as the sound of light water droplets.

That was right, there was a pact. Su Qing remembered hearing Daoist Qing Yang’s announcement from the sky. If one were to attack a being of a lower Realm than oneself, they would certainly be punished.
