The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

When Shen Yifei arrived, the two women were sitting on a large rock, drinking tea and discussing something in hushed tones.

"Oh, Sect Leader Shen is here." Bai Lu put down her cup, smiled at him, and said, "You fought quite well just now. You survived being hit twice by Ye Qianqiu."

Shen Yifei chuckled twice and squatted down next to the large rock. "Sisters, were you watching from the shadows while I was fighting?"

"Yeah, just watching the fun..." Leng Shanyue replied.

"Just watching the show? You two, are you just going to watch me get almost smashed into a meat patty by Ye Qianqiu and not even try to help?"

Bai Lu chuckled lightly, "You're still alive, aren't you? Besides, you have a woman in the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending realm next to you. Do you really need us to help?"

Leng Shanyue didn't waste any more words. "Both Little Long Worm and I could feel the demonic energy in your dantian. It started stirring restlessly in your dantian the first time you and Ye Qianqiu clashed. Little Long Worm told me not to make a move, saying that Ye Qianqiu would stimulate it to come out!"

Bai Lu laughed and said, "Ye Qianqiu was careless. He didn't take you seriously. He didn't expect you to have that thing."

"My two elder sisters, I've come to verify what that thing you're talking about is. It turns out I didn't have it in my body at all. Gu Yunyan's demonic energy from dual cultivation was hazy gray, and your demonic energy is green. I've never seen such a dark aura before!"

Leng Shanyue said, "Didn't Ye Qianqiu call you a remnant of the demon race? That black aura is demonic energy, extremely pure demonic energy!"

"Extremely pure demonic energy?"

Bai Lu emphasized again, "Extremely pure!"

Shen Yifei didn't feel anything was wrong. His body originally contained three kinds of energy mixed together, forming a vortex of spiritual energy.

It's perfectly normal for demonic energy to appear; it's probably because your spiritual energy has been purified through dual cultivation.

Leng Shanyue added, "This pure demonic energy wasn't acquired later; it must be innate!"

If Shen Yifei still didn't understand this sentence, he would be a fool.

"Sisters, do you mean I am... I am..."

"Hehe, yes, you are a demon, the most demonic of all. No wonder you are so exceptionally talented."

Shen Yifei glanced at Bai Lu's eyes, which seemed to be both smiling and not smiling.

"Sister Bai, what does this have to do with whether or not someone is a demon?"

Bai Lu covered her mouth and laughed, "How can it be okay? What normal person would act like that? It's just a characteristic of the demon race."

Leng Shanyue added casually from the side, "Even demons might not be able to compare to him! But the scent on you is something most people don't have; you can smell it from a great distance."

But this sounds familiar; it's like someone said something like that...

He pondered for a moment, then remembered.

The Valley of a Hundred Flowers is full of enchanting beauty!

She once said that Hundred Flowers Valley had a special skill: they could tell the length of a scent just by smelling it. She had caught up with him by smelling his unique scent.

At the time, he thought the woman was flirting, but now that he thinks about it, Hua Qianmei, that cunning old fox who has seen countless people, might have actually sensed something amiss from him.

"Sisters, you must have figured something out, right?"

Leng Shanyue nodded. "Before you came, Little Longchong and I analyzed it together!"

Bai Lu continued, "When the Tianyan Sect was destroyed, they claimed it was because they were fighting over the Heavenly Umbrella!"

Shen Yifei knew all this. Why would powerful beings at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage avoid the Heavenly Tribulation to snatch the Heavenly Evolution Sect's treasure, the Heavenly Covering Umbrella? Nobody knew where that thing was now.

"Your father, Shen Changtian, was a peerless expert in the Tianyan Sect. He must be a genuine human!" Leng Shanyue said, staring at Shen Yifei.

"I saw my father's grave in the Valley of the Underworld, and I even saw his silhouette. He was human!... What do you mean?"

Bai Lu and Leng Shan Yue both fell silent.

Shen Yifei recalled the woman in the illusion that the demon of love had shown him when he was injured!

It was an extremely beautiful face, with an indescribable allure in her eyes and brows, yet her expression was gentle; her eyes were blood red.

Now he knew that this woman was his mother.

Shen Yifei's mind kept replaying that face.

His mother was beautiful, so beautiful that she seemed otherworldly. At the time, he thought her blood-red eyes were just a deliberate effect in a dream.

Looking back now, that was probably her true color.

"You mean, my mother is a demon?" Shen Yifei looked up at Bai Lu and Leng Shanyue.

Bai Lu picked up her teacup, took a sip, and remained silent. Leng Shanyue, still expressionless, simply nodded.

In this way, everything that Shen Yifei couldn't understand before now makes perfect sense!

Why would demons be involved in the siege of the Tianyan Sect? Leng Rushuang's Xuanbing Palace must have been controlled by demons! Lu Ya's Jinwu Sect and Ye Qianqiu's Wanjian Manor are colluding with demons.

They each got what they wanted: Lu Ya and Ye Qianqiu ascended to immortality through tribulation for the Heaven-Covering Umbrella, while the Demon Clan went after their own mother!

Having figured all this out, Shen Yifei actually relaxed. A job with clear instructions is always better than feeling your way in the dark.

Seeing Shen Yifei's gradually relaxing expression, I knew he had figured it out and accepted the fact.

She continued, "After that great war ten thousand years ago, the demon race was decimated, and the surviving demons were sealed in various places. But the seals are prone to weakening. Every so often, demons escape from the seals."

"Your mother might be one of those who escaped," Leng Shanyue said. "But she's no ordinary nobody; she's probably a direct descendant of the Demon Clan's royal family, and might even be the Demon Queen."

After listening, Shen Yifei suddenly realized that Ye Qianqiu was right; he really was a little bastard.

His father was a peerless master among humans, his mother had royal blood from the demon race, and he himself was a hybrid of human and demon.

"So, I'm just some kind of thing that's neither human nor demon," Shen Yifei said self-deprecatingly.

Bai Lu laughed and said, "Oh, you look down on your own bloodline now?"

"What's wrong with my bloodline? I'm caught between the human and demon races, pleasing neither side."

"You're sitting on a mountain of gold and complaining about being poor!" Leng Shanyue rolled her eyes at him!

"That's right. With the blessing of demonic talent, your cultivation level will improve quickly when you practice human techniques. With the bloodline of the demonic royal family, bloodline suppression is more effective than anything else in the demon realm. Just by standing there and letting your scent waft out, ordinary demons will have to kneel down and kowtow to you."

Hearing this made Shen Yifei feel much better.

"My two elder sisters, today we finally understand my background," he said, taking out several bottles of pills. "These are for you. Although they won't greatly improve your cultivation, taking them is better than not taking them."

Bai Lu took the pills, smelled them, and said, "Not bad, they're good stuff, but eating a hundred of them is not as good as..."

She winked at Leng Shanyue, and the two of them grabbed Shen Yifei from either side.

"Why not repair it a few more times..."
