Otherworldly-Cultivator

"Phew!" Mayumi Keiko breathed a sigh of relief after they closed their restaurant. "Even though we only sell sandwiches, the results are quite impressive, and we even have to make a lot of extras to meet their needs."

"Fortunately, Sister Mingzhi has brought several employees to assist us, as the number of buyers would undoubtedly overwhelm us." Shiori Aya said as she nodded.

Tang Wan then asked them. "Do you think we should add another food to our menu? Since they enjoy sandwiches so much, I think we could add something similar, like a burger or something else."

Both women thought for a moment before Mayumi Keiko gave the answer. "I think we could add a burger and hot dog to our menu, but we'd have to go back to earth to make the patties and meat, or else we'd be hard-pressed to make them without modern equipment."

"I'll go back there after we meet our guests, and I'll ask my people to prepare them." Tang Wan then checked the beast meat in her storage ring. "We still have quite a lot of beast meat in stock, and we can ask our husband to add more if we run short."

After that, they went to meet Yi Qingcheng and Bing Luo, who had been waiting for them, but Akira didn't join them because she was uncomfortable with the presence of their guests.

"We're sorry to have kept you two waiting so long, seniors."

"You don't need to be so formal with us, especially since my granddaughter, Xueyan, is Long Wang's wife now, so you can say we are family." Yi Qingcheng then turned to Tang Wan and inquired. "How can a demon like you be with them?"

"Eh?"

Seeing that they were afraid of her, Yi Qingcheng immediately spoke to them. "I have met demons many times, so I can recognize her identity easily, but I also know that she is an ordinary demon without profound veins. Besides, I can't smell blood from her body, which means she's never killed a human before, so you don't need to be afraid of me because I won't do anything to her."

"What kind of demon are you, really?" Bing Luo suddenly asked Tang Wan.

"I am an icy snow spider demon." Tang Wan then revealed her demon form. "In fact, I used to be an ordinary human, but my husband said that I only had ten years of lifespan left, so he helped me to transform into a demon, and it gave him plenty of time to find profound veins for me."

"Hmm?" Both women raised their eyebrows for a moment before Yi Qingcheng spoke to her. "I know that humans can transform into demons for one reason or another, and I've met some of them before, but I don't know about the process of their transformation."

"There are two ways for humans to become demons, senior."

lightsnοvεl "Please tell me."

Tang Wan shuddered at the thought of that time, but she then explained the process to them. "First, we have to spend a lot of time in the demon realm, and the situation there will gradually transform us into demons, but our demon form will be random. Second, we can directly consume demon beast meat like I did before, and we will turn into demons like the demon beasts we eat."

"Does that mean Long Wang has access to the demon realm?"

"Yes." Mayumi Keiko answered Bing Luo. "I don't know about other realms, but our home realm is connected to two other realms. One is the demon realm, and the other one is the angel realm, but they are not cultivators because of the absence of Qi there."

Yi Qingcheng nodded in understanding after hearing that. "I've heard from Lan'er about your home realm, and Long Wang deliberately brought you all here to cultivate. However, I've never met a cultivator who can move from one realm to another freely, but my daughter has explained more or less about his identity, so I wasn't too surprised by his abilities. Actually, I was curious to meet him, but he still seems busy right now."

Mayumi Keiko nodded before informing her. "Our husband is currently in the eastern region to resolve some problems, but he will come to this region soon, and you can meet him later."

"It's okay; I'm not in a hurry either, and I'll wait for him." Yi Qingcheng then asked Tang Wan again. "What do you mean by Long Wang looking for profound veins for you?"

"Senior, I can become a cultivator if my husband implants someone else's profound veins into my body, but finding a suitable one is very difficult."

After hearing that, both women's expressions changed to shock, and it was Bing Luo who asked the question. "Is something like that really possible? That would require Long Wang to kill many people in order to obtain one that fits your body, right?lightsnovel

Before they could answer her question, Xiao Hei suddenly appeared in front of them, causing Yi Qingcheng and Bing Luo to become even more shocked by her presence, and they had thoughts on their minds. 'This woman is too powerful! We couldn't feel her aura in the slightest, even though she was standing right in front of us!'

"Hehe." Xiao Hei chuckled at their reactions. "Tang Wan didn't lie to you, and we can indeed use other people's profound veins to turn her into a cultivator, but it will take a long time. As for my master, he did have to kill a lot of people for that, but he will only kill those who are his enemies."

'Master? How could a woman as strong as her acknowledge Long Wang as her master?' Bing Luo inwardly wondered in shock.

Unlike her, Yi Qingcheng wasn't surprised to hear that, especially since Xue Lan had already told her some things about Chen Li's past, and she cupped her hands towards Xiao Hei. "Are you a cultivator from that realm, Senior?"

"It must have been Xue Lan who told you about us, right?"

"Yes, but Lan'er didn't give me too much detail."

Xiao Hei nodded in understanding. "In that case, I won't talk about it, especially since it would be dangerous for my master. Even though you guys are Xue Lan's family, my master won't just trust you. Anyway, it would be better if you established a good relationship with him, which will be beneficial for you."

"I know." After all, Yi Qingcheng was already very experienced as a cultivator, and she naturally realized that being on Chen Li's side was the most correct choice.

After they had practiced for a long time, Feng Xian'er asked Lin Qingzhu to send her twins into the Tianyi Realm, and she then brought them back to her room.

Meanwhile, Chen Li and Huo Qingya walked hand in hand to meet her parents, especially since he wanted to take her to the eastern region, and she was truly eager for that because she wanted to practice swordsmanship under Xiao Jianyi's guidance, but she wasn't sure that her parents would allow her to go there.

Chen Li then spoke to reassure her. "Hey, you don't need to be tense; I will help you convince them, and they should let you go with me if they care about you."

"They always care and love me, especially my mother." Huo Qingya released a soft sigh before continuing. "However, my father is different, and he is too protective of us, so he is never willing for us to leave his side, as he is always afraid that something bad will happen to us."

"Your father's attitude is reasonable, and I will probably also be the same as him when my children grow up." Huo Qingya turned to Chen Li with a raised eyebrow. "The world of cultivation is harsh and cruel, so I will continue to protect them even when they grow up, especially my daughter."

"Doesn't that mean you have favoritism towards them?"

Instead, Chen Li smiled at Huo Qingya. "You may be right about that, but you know that my daughter is special, and bad people will target her if they know about her. As for my son, he is a man, so he must be able to take responsibility for his own life, or else he will not be able to protect himself or the people close to him."

"You're weird, you know?" Huo Qingya spoke with a shake of her head. "Xian'er told me many things before you became a cultivator, and you were too weak at that time; even she and the others had to continue to protect you, but you wanted to treat your son like that."

Chen Li immediately stopped walking and faced Huo Qingya. "You're right, I was indeed too weak in the past, and I couldn't even protect myself. That's why I don't want my son to be as weak as I was in the past, especially since miracles won't happen twice, and I don't want him to experience the suffering I went through in the past."

After he said that, Chen Li led Huo Qingya towards her parents' place again, but his eyes kept glancing at other areas after he sensed that someone's killing intent was locking onto him, and that person was none other than Huang Xiaohai, who was watching them from a distance.
