Of course, this doesn't mean there are no nobles in the real world. Real-world nobles have donned the cloak of royalty, exploiting ordinary people with low-paying and high-intensity work hours. In reality, the two are not that different.

Chapter 1. The Two's Predicament

Li Wei remembered that in the original story, Bai Yin faced execution due to the issue of collective punishment, but she was lucky enough to meet Sajas. Sajas felt that it was a pity for Bai Yin to be executed for her strength, so he saved her. From that moment on, Bai Yin became Rias's familiar.

The Nabelius branch family wanted to execute Shiroine, but the Demon King had spoken, and no one dared to disobey the Demon King's authority. Thus, Shiroine, the sister of a sinner who was originally to be executed, survived.

If Baiyin had died at that time in the original storyline, then Heika would most likely have become completely corrupted and turned into a terrorist similar to the Calamity Group. Moreover, given her abilities, if she were determined to cause damage to the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm would indeed suffer considerable losses. An assassin specializing in assassination and escape, once her abilities stabilize, could cause enormous destruction.

If such a timeline were to occur, then before Black Song self-destructs, he would be able to give the Demon Realm a taste of what suffering truly means.

Their experiences illustrate the problems with the laws of the Demon Realm. In other words, the laws of the Demon Realm are only used to restrain ordinary demons, and are just a piece of paper for nobles. The current Demon Realm is still somewhat similar to the situation in ancient Chong Kingdom where "the law does not apply to high-ranking officials".

The number of nobles is already quite small. Even including the families of nobles, their respective branches, and even oddities like the Felix family with their large populations, the total number of nobles is less than 20,000.

These fewer than 20,000 people occupy the top of the pyramid of the entire demon society's hierarchy. They can kill or take the lives of ordinary demons. No matter how ordinary demons rely on their own strength or the laws of the demon realm, they cannot fight against the members of the noble class.

It's like whether Baiyin is dead or alive is just a matter of a high-ranking nobleman opening his mouth.

Li Wei said, "If you're wanted, you won't be able to hide for long. If you don't escape capture for an extended period, it will inevitably attract the attention of the noble faction. They will then send even more powerful top-tier demons to deal with you, and at that point, your situation will become increasingly difficult."

Hei Ge nodded. She naturally knew about this. Initially, it was only a branch of the Nabelius family that issued the warrant for their arrest. Such a branch was equivalent to a minor noble family and did not have much influence. Therefore, not many people would pay attention to insignificant people like them.

However, as their time on the run lengthens, more and more people will take notice of them, because their crime is not an ordinary offense, but the most taboo: the murder of a noble. This is a provocation to the entire noble class, and as long as they live, they will be a disgrace to the nobility.

Therefore, the forces hunting them down will become stronger and stronger. If things really escalate, even the Demon King might personally come to capture them.

Hei Ge said, "I know about this, but do we have a choice? We killed a nobleman. A nobleman's life is not comparable to our worthless lives. If we are caught, there will definitely be no good outcome. In fact, even if we turn ourselves in, it will be useless. In the end, we will all die."

Hei Ge was very unwilling. The laws of the Demon Realm included provisions for commoners who harmed nobles, and there was a system of collective punishment. Even if she surrendered herself, Bai Yin would still be unable to escape death. So why should she surrender herself?

If Bai Yin could be guaranteed to remain uninvolved, she could turn herself in now without any problem. However, the absurd terms of the Demon Realm's laws mean she has no way out. Therefore, even if it's a desperate struggle, she wants to live and escape from the Demon Realm with her sister.

Li Wei looked towards the entrance of the cave. Because the entrance was well-made, rain wouldn't flow in through the opening.

"I wonder when this rain will stop. It looks like it won't stop anytime soon." Li Wei clapped his hands, and a soft mattress appeared inside the cave, along with matching quilts and pillows. The simple yet charming bedding contrasted sharply with the humble cave.

Li Wei lay down on the bed and said, "I'll stay here for the night. Just wake me up if you need anything. Oh, and you can use that tablecloth as you like."

Li Wei pulled the covers over himself, whispered "Goodnight," and then turned over, his back to the two of them.

··· ·Requesting flowers···· ··

Seeing this, Hei Ge and Bai Yin were both a little stunned. Li Wei really didn't treat them like outsiders, daring to sleep in such a situation. His audacity was truly boundless.

The two girls started using sign language quickly. Even though Li Wei was asleep, they were still worried and continued to communicate using sign language.

However, what they didn't know was that Li Wei had used his perception ability to clearly see their sign language. However, the sign language they used was a unique language system. Apart from a few common gestures, only the two sisters understood the rest. Therefore, without using mind reading, Li Wei didn't know what the two were communicating in sign language.

After the brief sign language exchange, Hei Ge and Bai Yin were even more puzzled. The mysterious Li Wei made no defenses when facing them.

. .......

This means that Li Wei has absolute confidence in his own strength, and that even without any defense, the two of them cannot harm him in the slightest.

This gave Hei Ge and Bai Yin Xin hope. Such a powerful human must know the secret passage between the human world and the demon world. If they could build a good relationship with this mysterious powerhouse, they might be able to get him to take them away from the demon world.

With this in mind, Kuroka and Shiroto decided to use their advantage as women to find a way to cling to each other.

Just as Li Wei was half-asleep, he felt a soft "object" in his arms. He was deliberately controlling himself to stay in a half-asleep state, so his reaction to the outside world was relatively slow. This feeling, like being drunk, was a very peculiar enjoyment for him, who had completely broken free from sleep.

Li Wei knew that what he was holding was not a pillow, but a petite girl, or rather, a loli.

Li Wei hadn't expected the other party to use this tactic, but he figured he wouldn't lose out either way, so he tightened his grip on the "pillow" and started to get restless.

At this moment, Baiyin already regretted it. Looking at Heige who had given her advice, her eyes were filled with murderous intent, as if she wanted to kill him.

Hei Ge, on the other hand, clasped his hands together and wore a fawning smile.

Chapter.

When Li Wei regained consciousness, the visibility inside the cave was extremely low. It was nighttime in the Demon Realm, but if calculated in the same way as in the human world, it was equivalent to dawn. He also heard two soft snores.

The petite girl in the arms has short, snow-white hair. The smooth hair has a metallic sheen, unlike the artificially dyed silver in the real world. Baiyin's silver is very natural and healthy. It is a vibrant silver, like a snowfield in winter, where lush green life is hidden under the white snow.

Compared to his tall stature, Bai Yin was far too petite. To him, she was like a life-sized doll, and he could hardly feel her weight.

Looking at Bai Yin's adorable sleeping face, Li Wei smiled and gently stroked Bai Yin's delicate nose with his fingers. Bai Yin was sleeping soundly and did not respond to any external stimuli.

Li Wei sat up and began to cast spells on the cave. The demons in this world did not have much fine control over their own power, so using magic to process simple things was no problem. This cave, for example, was dug out using magic and a small shovel, and it was quite rough and simple.

For Li Wei, who is almost like a mantra in a certain sense, changing the rudimentary environment inside the cave is just a matter of saying a few words; he can use language or words to cast spells.

In fact, using words to cast spells is not a high-level skill. For example, the talismans used by Taoist priests are a type of spell casting using words.

Li Wei got out of bed, stood up, and gently covered Bai Yin with the blanket. At the same time, he took out a cotton quilt from his own sea of ​​consciousness and covered Hei Ge, who was lying on the floor next to him.

The two of them were already very easily frightened, and any slight movement could wake them up instantly. But now, because of his arrival, they were able to get a good night's sleep, so they both slept very soundly. Even though there was a blanket on them, Hei Ge didn't notice anything amiss.

Li Wei said in a low voice, "I said, the environment here is simple yet cozy."

With just a few words, the environment inside the cave began to change as if from a dream. Li Wei's immense magical power made the change as natural as flowing water. In just a few seconds, the simple cave had become like a themed hotel, with a minimalist aesthetic.

The room that the cave has transformed into has a much wider interior space, no longer as cramped as before, and is no longer as dark as before due to the ample light.

Since Hei Ge and Bai Yin are resorting to underhanded tactics, it means they've been driven to a corner and have no choice but to turn to the outside world, which is him. So as long as he doesn't do anything reckless, he won't incur the sisters' resentment, and he's not foolish enough to do something like that.

In a sense, Li Wei is now a ruler who reigns supreme over the Demon Realm. With just a word, he can spare Hei Ge and Bai Yin from the death penalty. However, this makes him, at best, their protector. While they will be grateful, their relationship will only go so far. To progress further, they will need more time to work together and develop a stronger bond.

Therefore, Li Wei does not intend to reveal his true identity at present, and at the same time pretends not to know about Hei Ge and Bai Yinsheng's affairs. He will cultivate feelings for Hei Ge and Bai Yinsheng while spending time together on the run, and then reveal his identity at the right time.

This approach, while not perfect, allows both parties to build a strong bond, making it more suitable than the second approach.

With both girls fast asleep, Li Wei, having nothing else to do, took a pill from the Soul-Sweeping Bell, put it in his mouth, and began to refine its medicinal power. The Soul-Sweeping Bell had already digested some of the gods, and these digested gods, along with their equipment, had been refined into pills. Each pill could provide Li Wei with a considerable amount of cultivation power, making his cultivation path smoother.

Cultivation is a process of accumulating knowledge and skills, a process of continuous accumulation leading to qualitative change. Apart from a few lucky, drug-addicted powerhouses, the vast majority of cultivators cannot bypass this step.

However, when Li Wei read the original *Journey to the West*, he noticed a detail: both the eldest and junior brothers were powerful figures who relied on elixirs. The eldest brother, needless to say, possessed an incredibly potent elixir from Laozi's gourd. He was then refined by the furnace fire within the elixir furnace—a favor Laozi did, allowing him to absorb the elixir's power. Thus, the "mischievous monkey" who emerged from the furnace possessed the strength to wreak havoc in Heaven...

As for the senior brother, in the original story, he mostly went through the motions without putting in much effort, but when he really got serious, he could always shine. The senior brother's cultivation experience was also quite interesting. In his previous life before he was banished to the mortal realm, that is, the life of Marshal Tianpeng, he became an immortal on the spot and ascended to the Heavenly Court with the help of a celestial pill bestowed by a mysterious immortal.

It can be said that powerful pills can significantly shorten cultivation time, allowing those who take the pills to reach their predetermined cultivation level in a shorter period of time. If the quality of the pills themselves is good enough, there may not even be any side effects, and even the most basic drug toxicity can be avoided.

Li Wei's approach was not a specific path; rather, it was characterized by a shameless, opportunistic style of "borrowing" whatever was beneficial to him. He considered anything that was advantageous to him good, regardless of the means by which such self-interest was achieved. As long as the goal was achieved and his own foundation was not at risk, then it was a good method or a good approach.

Li Wei has used all sorts of underhanded methods on his journey of cultivation, but these methods are limited to acquisition. In terms of cultivation itself, Li Wei has always been patient and steady, without seeking quick results.

As the medicinal power gradually seeped into his body and transformed into his own magical power, Li Wei thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of becoming stronger little by little. This feeling of progressing every moment was like playing a leveling-up game. Watching his stats gradually expand gave him a sense of accomplishment.

"Although I have surpassed humanity, I am still a member of the human race, and in terms of physical structure, I am no different from a normal human. However, every internal organ and even every cell in my body has been endowed with extraordinary characteristics, which is why I am able to possess such immense power." Li Wei thought to himself, it was fortunate that he could obtain such power without having to "become inhuman."

Chapter 1. After the Extraordinary

After embarking on the path of cultivation, Li Wei realized that the human body, which he had always found unreasonable when he was still an ordinary person, was actually a "perfect state" of cultivation. In other words, everyone has an "innate Dao body," which is the true meaning of everyone being like a dragon.

Why do demons and monsters need to cultivate into human form before they can cultivate themselves, transforming their physical structure into that of a human, while their original demonic or monster appearance is merely a hidden essence?

This is because the human body is an innate body that conforms to the ultimate truth. If one wants to go further on the path of cultivation, one must first have a human body.

Li Wei, who started with an "innate Dao body," didn't need to learn how to be a human being like those demons and monsters. Starting at full speed, the more he cultivated, the clearer he became about the advantages of the human body.

Just like when he is refining the medicinal power in the pill, after the medicinal power enters his throat, it goes down the esophagus into his stomach. His spleen begins to work quickly, transforming all of this medicinal power into his "three qi", namely nutritive qi, ancestral qi and defensive qi. The innate primordial qi rising from the kidneys combines with the three qi to form the "qi of the human body". This special power transforms into a huge magical power, filling the organs and nourishing the viscera.

The powerful magic was propelled into the blood vessels by the heart and flowed through the blood vessels. The liver, as the first hub for the smooth flow of Qi in the body, further pressurized this magic, transporting this enormous power to every part of the body. Even the very tips of the capillaries were infused and nourished by the immense magic.

This immense magical power then began to nourish the internal organs, making the heart stronger and ensuring its blood circulation, while also making the blood vessels stronger and more resilient.

Li Wei's lungs have also broken through the limits of the mortal world. Now, his breathing is no longer just breathing air, but breathing the omnipresent "primordial energy of heaven and earth". For Li Wei, breathing has become a cycle of cultivation. For orthodox Qi cultivators, there is no such thing as the "end of the Dharma era" because the primordial energy of heaven and earth is the foundation of the universe. This thing is inexhaustible.

Li Wei's spleen has reached the conceptual level of "central spleen earth," meaning that anything edible can be broken down and transformed into nutrients. Refining enemies into pills was merely for better digestion, but now, with his spleen combined with his monstrous stomach, Li Wei's digestive ability surpasses even the magical artifacts he currently uses. The reason he doesn't directly devour living people is simply because he has a psychological aversion to such things.

Li Wei's liver, as the primary hub of Qi and blood within his extraordinary body, and also the head of the "detoxifying fluid" within the gallbladder, became a repository of extra magical power. His essence, if not released, returns to the liver to purify the blood. As the hub of Qi and blood, Li Wei possessed a much larger "reservoir of magical power" than other cultivators, giving him a greater advantage in endurance battles.

Li Wei's kidneys, strengthened by both his immense magical power and his own cultivation techniques, had already become "extraordinary." The kidneys are where innate essence is stored, making them a crucial internal organ for both Qi cultivators and ordinary people.

The kidneys contain innate vital energy, which enters the bones and transforms into marrow. It can also nourish the brain marrow by running up the spine. It can be said that the kidneys are the source of the body's marrow and also contain the secret to longevity.

Li Wei recalled those foolish young people who sold their kidneys to buy cell phones. To damage one's innate constitution for a mere phone was utterly foolish. Losing a kidney doesn't mean one can't live, but because one's innate vital energy is diminished, one's constitution will inevitably suffer. One will gradually become weak and sickly, facing premature aging after thirty. Not only will the aging process be far faster than normal, but one will also be prone to Alzheimer's disease and osteoporosis in old age, gradually becoming a "disabled person."

The power of his internal organs and meridians made Li Wei realize how extraordinary his physical body was. The "spirit" residing in his heart made his soul and body perfectly integrated, like interlocking gears without any sluggishness. At the same time, he was free from the injuries and illnesses he had experienced as an ordinary person. The benefits brought by the powerful body and soul were not just limited to health.

Li Weixian, the "god" of the traditional Qi cultivation path, does not have many fancy classifications, but is powerful in all aspects without any blind spots, to the point that he cannot even separate his soul from his body, because the connection between the soul and the body is too close.

However, Li Wei wasn't worried about this, because with puppet clone techniques and various medium clone techniques, he never lacked means to "get things done." On the contrary, the close connection between his body and soul also made him immune to most curse-type abilities targeting the soul, because his powerful body was an extraordinary protective layer that couldn't break through the outer defenses and couldn't harm his core at all.

With such power cultivated to a high level, even magical treasures like the "Seven Arrows of Nailhead" would have difficulty defeating him. However, Li Wei was not yet confident that he could withstand the domineering "Immortal-Slaying Blade" head-on.

After refining the medicinal power within the pills, Li Wei sensed that the two girls had entered a light sleep stage. They would wake up quickly if there were any changes in the outside world, so he didn't plan to continue refining the pills. Anyway, as long as he maintained a rhythmic breathing, he was considered to be cultivating, although the cultivation efficiency was not as fast as using pills directly. However, this method allowed him to cultivate without deliberately entering a cultivation state, so overall, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

Li Wei looked towards the cave entrance. The visibility outside was better. The Demon Realm was not a planet like the human world; it did not have its own star. Therefore, the brightness within the space was adjusted by the Demon Realm's own mechanisms.

Hei Ge was the first to wake up. After entering a light sleep, it didn't take long for her to realize that her body temperature was abnormal. She had only been covered with a thin blanket, but she felt very warm. When she opened her eyes, she didn't know when, but the thin blanket on her body had been replaced with a thick cotton quilt.

She stared at the ceiling, somewhat bewildered. The once dimly lit cave had transformed into something resembling an elegant abode. This dramatic change put her on alert. She sat up and looked around, then saw the familiar cave entrance. In the entire underground space, only the cave entrance remained unchanged.

"What...what has happened?" Hei Ge looked at Li Wei, who was sitting at the desk reading a book, and said in a low voice.

"It's just a minor modification. I'm someone who's used to enjoying life, and don't you think it's much better like this than a cave?" Li Wei looked up and said with a smile.

Chapter 1. More Than Just an Individual Dilemma

"I don't understand what you're thinking. It's just a temporary place to stay, it doesn't matter what," Hei Ge said softly.

Li Wei laughed and said, "I am genuine in every day of my life. No matter what the situation is, whether it is good or bad, I have to make the most of every day."

This is Li Wei's true inner thought. Before he obtained the cheat code, he was just an ordinary person. But even so, in addition to painting, he also exercised well. Although he was quite frugal with money, he took his three meals a day seriously. Besides often using the free tickets he got from the professors to go to art exhibitions, he also particularly liked to go to bookstores to read free comics and novels, as well as some psychology-related books.

It can be said that when he was still an ordinary person, Li Wei was a rather refined young man. After gaining superhuman powers, Li Wei elevated his lifestyle to the level of "ritual". No matter what the situation, Li Wei paid great attention to his "dignity".
