Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

"War?" Su Yang was taken aback, then asked in confusion, "When I passed through Luowen County, wasn't the front line already stabilized?"

Huang Lewei shook his head: "The Demon Kingdom has reinforced its troops. Luowen County is surrounded, and the frontline armies are divided and besieged. On the way to retreat to Luowen County, we were attacked from both sides and suffered a great defeat. Luowen County was subsequently captured. I followed the 39th Army to retreat south. I thought the enemy would march north towards Huaijing. I wanted to rest in the south and then go north to support them, and also launch a pincer attack. I didn't expect the Demon Kingdom to change direction and sweep towards the southern part of the Empire."

"Clean up the rear, I suppose." Su Yang felt that there was nothing wrong with the Demon Kingdom's deployment. At least for someone like him who values ​​stability, even when playing a real-time strategy game, he had to secure the rear first, let alone when it came to military operations.

“No, the south is poor and sparsely populated. Even if they wanted to secure the rear, this is not the way to do it. They marched swiftly and quickly wiped out the remnants of our army left in the south, forcing us to flee into the Lingluo Great Forest.” Huang Lewei disagreed with Su Yang’s statement.

"So that's why you appeared in the Lingluo Great Forest. Then why did those Demon Kingdom soldiers still chase after you even though you had already escaped into the forest?" Su Yang roughly understood why Huang Lewei appeared in the Lingluo Forest, but he still didn't understand why he was still being hunted down.

"To be honest, I also find it strange. Everyone knows that the Lingluo Great Forest is full of dangers, and we are already a defeated army. We could have been left alone, but the Demon Kingdom's target seems to be this Great Forest. A large number of troops are pouring into the Great Forest. We have nowhere to hide, so we have no choice but to fight to the death. Later, we met you."

After listening to Huang Lewei's explanation, Su Yang finally understood. Although he didn't know why the Demon Kingdom did this, there must be something in the Spiritfall Forest that attracted them, or perhaps this was their strategy. However, none of this mattered to Su Yang. He just wanted to learn about dual elements from Huang Lewei as soon as possible.

However, given that their relationship wasn't that deep yet, Su Yang didn't want to speak directly. But he had a sudden inspiration and asked Huang Lewei about his plans from the side: "So what are your plans now?"

Huang Lewei lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "I plan to return to China and continue my military service."

"Going again?" Su Yang was genuinely surprised: "Your injuries haven't fully healed yet, are you going back to join the army again?"

“Yes.” Huang Lewei looked at Su Yang and said firmly, “I have to go.”

"Why?" The moment the question left his mouth, Su Yang inexplicably thought of Lin Anlan, and a guess immediately popped into his mind. So he continued, "Do you also bear some deep-seated hatred?"

Huang Lewei remained silent upon hearing this, only looking up at the sky, his mind conflicted about whether to confide in this person he had only recently met. After a long while, he seemed to have made up his mind, and then slowly said, "That's right..."

"Oh."

After Su Yang responded, there was no further sound. He turned to look at the lake. Huang Lewei noticed that Su Yang hadn't asked any further questions for a while, so he turned to look and saw Su Yang staring blankly at the lake. After waiting for a while, he finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Why didn't you ask any more questions?"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Su Yang asked in return.

"..." Huang Lewei said with some helplessness, "He didn't ask me about my blood feud."

"Oh, I thought that since it's a blood feud, you'll naturally say what you want to say. If you don't want to say, wouldn't it be a bit coercive of me to press you? That's why..."

This was indeed what Su Yang was thinking. Just like Lin Anlan's blood feud, he had never forced Lin Anlan to tell him. In his heart, the so-called blood feud was nothing more than an emotional problem. As a college student who seemed to have reached the realm of returning to truth, he knew all too well that matters of the heart could only be resolved by himself, and confiding in others would be of no use.

After hearing Su Yang's explanation, Huang Lewei stopped dwelling on it and continued to recount his deep-seated hatred. However, his words shocked Su Yang once again: "I was not originally a citizen of the Heavenly Fortune Empire, but a citizen of the Demon Kingdom."

This truth caused Su Yang to immediately engage in a battle of wits, completely unable to comprehend Huang Lewei's words. Although he knew there must be some hidden story, countless questions still arose in his mind: Why were the people of the Demon Kingdom accepted by the Heavenly Fortune Empire? Why did they join the Heavenly Fortune army to fight against the Demon Kingdom? Did the Demon Kingdom also kill his parents?

Huang Lewei had no idea what Su Yang was thinking, and continued, "I am a pure-blooded demon, but not quite pure."

"Wait, wait." Su Yang couldn't hold back any longer, because Huang Lewei's second sentence made his left and right brains fight each other again: "What do you mean by both pure and impure?"

Seeing the puzzled look on Su Yang's face, Huang Lewei asked with a smile, "What kind of demon do you think is a pure-blooded demon?"

Without hesitation, Su Yang replied, "Then naturally they are demons with two horns on their heads, born with dual elemental powers."

“You’re right, but that’s just your judgment from a human perspective,” Huang Lewei said. “In the Demon Kingdom, purebred demons must reach the third rank in dual elemental rank by the age of six. If they don’t, their bloodline is impure.”

"That strict?"

Huang Lewei nodded and continued, "Although my parents are pure demons, their rank only reached the fourth level, which is considered ordinary demon. Perhaps it was my fault, but by the time I was six years old, my elemental rank had not broken through to the third level, so I was classified as one of those with impure blood."

"Because of me, my parents also suffered contempt. However, my mother often told me that as long as I grew up healthy, I should not care about other people's opinions. Under my parents' care, I never felt the malice around me until I was ten years old."

"There are no academies in the Demon Kingdom. All children must participate in a coming-of-age ceremony when they turn ten. They must fight and kill a D-level ferocious beast alone. Such a coming-of-age ceremony is not difficult for normal children at all, because as long as both elemental powers reach the third level, they can easily pass the test. But for children like me, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky."

"Moreover, the laws of the Demon Kingdom stipulate that all children who have not passed the coming-of-age ceremony will be sent to the army to receive training and serve as the vanguard. In times of war, they will be the ones sent to their deaths; if there is no war, they will be the army's laborers. My father told me the day before the ceremony that I should not worry about anything and that he would help me. At that time, I didn't quite understand and agreed without really knowing what he was doing."

"Later, on the day of the ceremony, just when I was no match for that D-level ferocious beast and was about to be killed by it, it suddenly fell dead in front of me. Because my father never showed up, I thought I had killed the beast with my own strength. With this joy, I went to the examiner and was about to report when I suddenly saw my father being locked up by several soldiers."

"When the examiner saw me appear, he didn't say anything and just ordered the soldiers next to him to take me down. Just as they were about to do it, my mother rushed out from the crowd, grabbed me, and fled the scene. I didn't understand what was happening. I only knew that my mother was carrying me and we kept running and running, passing through one unfamiliar village and town after another, until we saw an old man with no horns on his head."
