The secret realm is filled with the smell of blood.

The demon strode through the frost-covered forest and finally stopped in front of a cold pool shrouded in mist.

He seemed to swallow, then lowered his head, his youthful voice as clear as spring water:

"Little half-demon, you are going to die."

In the field of vision, Yu Xi was sitting against an ancient tree, holding a fox tail soaked in blood in his arms, staring blankly at the tiny spots of light falling between the shadows of the trees.

She was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and her face had not yet completely lost its childishness, but her stunning and charming beauty could already be vaguely seen.

Contrary to her appearance, there was no trace of innocence or vitality around her, only a heavy air of death. Her long eyelashes were covered with frost, her round eyes were empty, and her bloodless lips hardly exhaled mist.

Hearing the voice, she subconsciously moved her stiff fingers, but quickly remembered that her sword spirit had abandoned her long ago.

She no longer had the strength to get rid of the demon guards.

Disdaining to talk to the demons, she closed her eyes and felt that her luck was terrible and she couldn't even die peacefully.

Who knew that the demon would become even more interested after being ignored by her? He lifted his robe and sat beside her. He tutted twice, looked at the shattered sound transmission stone beside her and said gently:

"I heard it from a distance just now. It seems your fellow disciples don't plan to come and rescue you?"

Not only did he not intend to rescue her, the words coming from the sound stone were full of contempt and malice. He laughed and suspected that the dying half-demon in front of him was just trying to get sympathy, and told her that if she wanted to die, she should die quickly.

Seeing that Yu Xi still ignored him, he suddenly smiled and continued to look at Yu Xi, saying jokingly:

"There are three holes in his body, and his dantian is completely shattered. He's definitely beyond saving. How tragic! He's still so young, younger than me... They say good deeds are rewarded, but it seems like a bad guy like me will live longer."

Seeing that the visitor was here to mock her, Yu Xi secretly thought that the demons were indeed heretical. Finally, she raised her chin slightly, glanced sideways, and also revealed a slight mockery:

"No matter what, it's not as miserable as you demons. I heard that your demon king was surrounded by tens of thousands of people and his soul was destroyed. He didn't even have the qualifications to enter the reincarnation cycle. How pitiful."

She spoke very slowly and her voice was very special. Her soft and ethereal voice sounded so cold to her that it seemed like ice covered in frost and snow.

Although he was extremely weak, he still showed no fear.

Who wants to hear this? The demon was not angry at all. Instead, he laughed and patted Yu Xi on the shoulder. "You little half-demon are really good at talking. I love to listen. Talk more!"

Yu Xi was already heartbroken, and after being hit like that, he vomited blood.

Seeing this, the demon was frightened. He quickly used his sleeve to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, not caring at all about the blood staining his white clothes.

While wiping him, he complained softly: "I didn't use much strength just now..."

Yu Xi closed his eyes, feeling annoyed and confused about the demons' intentions, so he simply turned a blind eye.

The immortals and the demons are old enemies. Although she is a half-demon, she has already entered the immortals and is unwilling to have anything to do with the demons who have blood on their hands and take human lives lightly.

The demon noticed Yu Xi's hostility, but didn't care. Seeing that she still ignored him, he shamelessly approached him and suddenly shouted as if he had discovered something: "Little half-demon, where are your ears?"

The place where a pair of fox ears should have grown was empty, and a long scar was faintly visible among the black hair.

It was cut off.

Yu Xi didn't reply, but just murmured in his heart.

A half-demon couldn't hide her fox ears and tail, but the Immortal Clan loathed anything related to demons, believing their blood to be of the lowest order. To avoid losing face, she had her fox ears chopped off after being adopted into the Clan at the age of three.

Although Yu Xi did not reply, the demons seemed to have understood something.

He pulled up Yu Xi's left sleeve and saw the ambergris hidden inside.

"No wonder you came to a place like this... Do you want to get rid of the demon blood?"

It is said that by taking ambergris, a half-demon can remove the demon blood in its body and completely transform into a human.

but--

"Ambergris is a poisonous herb. If you take it, you'll be living a life worse than death. You'll never see the light again, you won't be able to practice cultivation, your body will become distorted, and you'll become a useless person, half-human, half-ghost. You'll only have one year left to live. What are you trying to achieve?"

“…Poisonous weeds?”

Yu Xi was stunned and looked over suddenly.

"Yeah, you don't know?" The demon enthusiastically rummaged through his storage bag, pulled out a copy of Shennong's Herbal Record, and expertly flipped to a certain page, pointing it to Yu Xi and saying, "Look, a poisonous weed."

Yu Xi stared at the clear and concise words in front of him. After a brief moment of stunned silence, he let out a bitter laugh.

"Haha."

Poisonous weeds.

Taking ambergris was a task assigned to her by her master, and she was required to complete it.

The master said that only if she used ambergris to eliminate the demon blood, would she have the opportunity to be treated as a human being by others and be truly accepted by the immortal sect.

She never knew that this was a poisonous weed that would make her life worse than death.

Her fellow disciple Guangfeng Jiyue was gentle and kind. He took her back to the Immortal Sect, but treated her like a livestock and watched coldly as she was bullied by others.

The junior fellow apprentice who was once on the verge of death and whom she picked up and took care of avoided her like the plague.

Even her sword spirit looked down on her half-demon identity, and only formed a pact with her for the spiritual energy of the immortal sect. When he realized that her life was in danger, he immediately abandoned her.

Only her master, although he also hated the demon blood in her body, did not treat her harshly. He provided her with a place to live and was willing to teach her things.

It turns out that I am just like everyone else.

No wonder her master told her to get the ambergris, even though coming here would be suicide with her level of cultivation.

No wonder none of her fellow disciples who were supposed to pick her up showed up. If the master had spoken, they wouldn't have dared not come no matter how much they hated her.

Everyone hated her and wanted her dead.

But what did she do wrong?

Since being adopted, she has been grateful, observing people's words and expressions, and spending every day carefully.

If others don't want to see her, she won't show up. If others don't want to share a class with her, she will study on her own.

While other disciples were playing, she would pick up her sword and practice martial arts before dawn. When the sect was celebrating festivals, she would be alone outside rescuing refugees and exorcising evil spirits.

She had no childhood, so she could only try to be as sensible as possible, work harder than anyone else, and strive to become a qualified disciple in the eyes of everyone.

But it's no use.

Because she is a half-demon.

She looked at the demon beside her, and all the grievances and resentment in her heart burst out at this moment:

"Half-demon, are you so hateful?"

They are hated, not recognized, and treated as dirty wherever they go.

She never looked down on herself or considered herself inferior.

But if everyone in the world thinks this way, then she really——

"Not hateful at all."

The demon spoke, interrupting her thoughts.

"It seems that those bastards from the Immortal Sect asked you to use ambergris?"

He understood: "Don't believe a word those bastards say. What's wrong with being half-demons? We demons love half-demons. We treasure them like treasures!"

Seeing Yu Xi's skeptical look, he quickly explained, "Really! Demonic cultivators are most likely to lose their minds, but half-demons are naturally suited to demonic cultivation. How can they cultivate without going crazy? They're naturally talented!"

Still saying this?

Yu Xi had never heard of this before.

Perhaps it was because Yu Xi didn't hide her suspicion, the demon saw that she didn't believe him, and thought about it for a long time, and finally muttered childishly: "Believe it or not, anyway, you have a furry tail to hug in winter, and I don't even have one. Isn't that good enough!"

it is good?

Yu Xi's thoughts were stuck for a moment.

Half-demons are hybrids that are neither human nor demon, and are lowly and ignorant birds.

This was a comment she kept hearing.

So her tail is a symbol of her lowliness in the eyes of others.

In order to protect her tail from being cut off, she would carefully tie it up and hide it under her clothes every day, for fear of being seen. She was never allowed to show up at some large occasions.

But now, some people envy her for having a tail?

Her eyes moved slightly, and she raised her head slightly. Before she could say anything, she saw the demon had already bent his long eyes upwards, supported his chin and said excitedly:

"Looking at you like this, I know you've suffered a lot. How about this? Our meeting is fate. I'll help you break into the Immortal Sect and kill all the guys who bullied you? I'll slaughter their entire family!"
