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 pond 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 old 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 and 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 remove the demon guard.

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

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

Not only did he not intend to rescue her, the words coming from the sound transmission stone were full of contempt and malice. He giggled and suspected that the dying half-demon in front of him was just trying to gain 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 on his body, and his Dantian is shattered. He is definitely beyond help. It's so pitiful. He is still so young, younger than me... They say good deeds will be rewarded, but it seems that I, a bad guy, will live longer."

Seeing that the person was here to laugh at her, Yu Xi thought that the demons were indeed heretical. She finally raised her chin slightly, glanced sideways, and also showed 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. 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. He laughed and patted Yu Xi on the shoulder. "You little half-demon are really good at talking. I love to listen. Speak more!"

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

The demon was frightened by this and 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, she complained and muttered, "I didn't use much strength just now..."

Yu Xi closed his eyes, feeling annoyed. He didn't understand the demons' intentions, so he simply turned a blind eye.

The immortals and the demons are old enemies. Although she is half-demon, she has already entered the immortal sect and is unwilling to have anything to do with the demons who are bloody and take human lives.

The demon noticed Yu Xi's hostility, but didn't care. Seeing that she still ignored him, he shamelessly came over 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 cannot hide her fox ears and tail, but the Immortal Sect hates anything related to the demon race, and believes that the blood of the demon race is the lowest. In order to save face, she was adopted by the Immortal Sect at the age of three, and her fox ears were cut off.

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 his body and completely transform into a human.

but--

"Ambergris is a poisonous herb. Once you take it, you will be living a life worse than death. You will never be able to see the light again, and you will be unable to practice. Your body will be distorted, and you will become a useless person who is neither human nor ghost. You will only have one year left to live. What do you want?"

"…Poisonous weeds?"

Yu Xi was stunned and looked over suddenly.

"Yeah, you don't know?" The demon was quite enthusiastic and rummaged through the storage bag, and found a book called Shennong Herbal Record. He skillfully turned to a certain page and pointed it to Yu Xi, saying, "Look, it's a poisonous weed."

Yu Xi stared at the clear words in front of him. After a brief pause, he let out a bitter laugh.

"Haha."

Poisonous weeds.

Taking ambergris was the 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 a chance 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 he treated her like a livestock and watched coldly as she was bullied by others.

The younger 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. It only formed a bond with her for the spiritual energy of the immortal sect, and immediately abandoned her when it realized that her life was in danger.

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 he is just like everyone else.

No wonder the master asked her to get the ambergris, even though coming here would mean death with her level of cultivation.

No wonder none of the fellow disciples who were supposed to pick her up showed up. If the master had spoken, they would not have dared not come even if they hated her.

Everyone hated her and wanted her dead.

But what did she do wrong?

From the moment she was adopted, she was grateful, observed people's words and expressions, and spent every day carefully.

If others don't want to see her, she won't show up. If others are unwilling 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?"

You are hated, not recognized, and treated as a dirty thing wherever you 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 it was those bastards from the Immortal Sect who asked you to use ambergris?"

He understood: "You don't have to believe a word those bastards say. What's wrong with being half-demons? We demons like half-demons. When we see a half-demons, we treasure them like treasures!"

Seeing Yu Xi's skeptical look, he quickly explained, "Really! Demonic practitioners are most likely to lose their minds, but half-demons are naturally suitable for demonic practice. How can they practice without going crazy? They are born with good talent!"

Still saying this?

Yu Xi had never heard of this before.

Perhaps it was because Yu Xi did not conceal her suspicion. Seeing that she did not believe him, the demon thought angrily for a long time, and finally muttered childishly: "Believe it or not, anyway, you have a furry tail to hug in winter, but I don't 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 animals.

This is the comment she keeps 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 Gate and kill all the guys who bullied you? Kill their entire family!"
