Are you kidding me? This woman is indeed very beautiful, but she's even more terrifying than the tiger in the back mountain. Are you trying to make him suffer enough by letting him stay by her side?

Originally intending to refuse Miao Xingzhe, Zhen Hong, seeing the little monk's disgusted expression, raised an eyebrow and uttered a cold voice.

"Little thing, what's with that reluctant look on your face? Do you feel like you're being treated unfairly by following me? Let me tell you, you only have two choices now: either stay by my side and be my errand boy, and I'll let you go whenever I'm in a good mood, or,"

A blood-stained, lonely smile stretched from the corner of his mouth, and his small body exuded a terrifying aura.

"I'll take care of that old bastard first, then I'll take care of you. I'd like to test the strength of this veteran great demon."

Staring at him with Zhen Hong's gaze, the little monk felt as if a giant python was lurking behind him, its foul-smelling mouth wide open, ready to swallow him whole at any moment.

Shivering, the little monk, without needing Miao Xingzhe's guidance, quickly forced a fawning smile.

"Of course I want to stay by your side. You are so beautiful, it's my good fortune to be by your side."

"Then hurry up and come over here."

Pointing to her side, Shinku gave the little monk a mocking smile. When she saw the little monk shrink back in fear, her smile became even more pronounced.

Gritting his teeth, the little monk hesitated for a moment, then stepped out from behind Miao Xingzhe and walked to Zhen Hong's side.

"He's got the guts; he's barely qualified to be a menial worker."

Seeing that the young monk had the courage to approach her, Zhenhong lost interest in making things difficult for him. She glanced at him and then ignored him, continuing her conversation with Miao Xingzhe.

"Old man, I'll give you face this time and help you take care of this little thing, but the favor you did for guiding me back then is now wiped clean."

Miao Xingzhe nodded with a wry smile. If it weren't for the little monk's special status and how useful he would be to him in the future, he really wouldn't want to sever this invaluable mentorship now.

"In that case, let's hurry up and leave,"

Grabbing the little monk by the collar, lifting him up—a boy much taller than herself—Zhen Hong didn't even bother with the main gate. Instead, she soared into the sky, crashed through the roof, and burst out.

"My patience is almost completely worn out."

A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes. Miao Xingzhe looked up at the large hole Zhen Hong had created, shook his head, and quickly followed, leaving only a soft whisper floating in the air.

"Yuan Yuan, if you don't give me a ton of benefits when we get to hell, I'll never forgive you."

Chapter Forty-Four Brothers and Sisters

"This must be Third Sister. I am the fourth, and my obsession is Compassion. My name is Lehei, Le as in music and Hei as in pitch black. This name came to me as soon as I was born; it must have been given to me by Father. Anyway, Third Sister, please take care of me."

Looking at the man in front of her with his long, brilliant blond hair, gentle smile, and at least 1.9 meters tall, who was half-squatting down to shake her hand, Zhen Hong's eyebrows twitched, feeling a surge of displeasure. Although he kept calling her "Third Sister," his attitude made it seem like he was coaxing a child.

Considering that she was, after all, the older sister and should have the magnanimity of one, Shinku suppressed the urge to throw a punch and instead grasped the hand in front of her.

"I am the third among my brothers. My madness is anger, and my name is Crimson. It was also given to me by my father. Please take care of me."

"Ah, it really is Third Sister."

Lehei nodded vigorously, as if he had confirmed something satisfactory. Then, he did something no one expected.

"Hahaha, this setting of being small but the older sister is just amazing! It seems Dad is quite an interesting person. Lift her up high, lift her up high."

Its eyes widened and turned pure black, its fangs grew longer and protruded from its lips, and Crimson's right hand formed a claw, viciously clawing down at Lehei's face, leaving a jet-black afterimage in the air.

"die!!"

Lehei's smile remained unchanged. Even though Zhenhong had completely released the weight of her giant python form, her small body was heavier than a mountain, he still easily lifted her into the air.

A piercing metallic clang rang out, and a hand as white as jade appeared in front of Le Hei, firmly blocking the right hand shrouded in black mist.

"Fourth Brother, Third Sister, you've gone too far. We are all Father's bloodline, we are family, and we shouldn't attack each other."

Staring intently at Rakuhei's face, Shinku snorted coldly and withdrew her right hand, which Rakuhei tactfully put down.

"The rest of the family members have arrived. Third Sister, you are the last one. Please come with me, and I will introduce you to everyone."

With that, the man who had blocked Zhenhong's attack turned and walked away. Zhenhong snorted coldly and followed him. Lehei shrugged at Miao Xingzhe, who had been ignored for a long time, and said seemingly helplessly...

"My brothers and sisters are all a bit arrogant, please don't mind them, senior."

Without waiting for Miao Xingzhe's reply, Le Hei turned around and chased after Zhen Hong.

Miao Xingzhe looked helplessly to his side, where the figure of Bao Xian Gui had quietly appeared.

"Are all these little guys this arrogant? This is clearly Touya's territory, but they all act like it's their own home."

Glancing at Miao Xingzhe, Bao Xian Gui spoke with a strange expression.

"You can't even handle this? What will you do when you see that little brat that King Qian brought?"

Although they discovered Bao Xian Gui, Zhen Hong and the others who were walking ahead did not seem to want to greet him.

“I am the fifth child, my obsession is salvation, and my name is Yu Bai.”

After introducing himself, Yu Bai fell silent and led the way without saying a word. Zhen Hong, on the other hand, clearly had lost interest in speaking and followed behind Yu Bai with a sullen face.

Before long, Yu Bai stopped in front of a side hall.

"This is it, please come in."

With that, Yu Bai pushed open the door and went in first.

"Xiaobai, you shouldn't have intervened just now. This is Douya Wang's territory after all. Letting the third and fourth brothers fight and show their strength can help us solve a lot of trouble."

As soon as Zhenhong entered the room, she heard a gentle voice. It seemed that she had witnessed the conflict between her and Lehei at the city gate from this side hall. Slightly surprised, Zhenhong turned her head to look at the source of the voice. She saw a young man with an ordinary appearance sitting on a chair, but he exuded an aura that made people unconsciously trust him.

Noticing Shinku's gaze, the man chuckled and nodded at her.

"I am my father's second son, my personality is firm, and my name is Bailan."

"Alright, enough of this useless nonsense. He's just a piece of trash who was the last one to break through to the Great Demon level. One meeting is enough. What's with all the fuss? Hurry up and find out about Father's matter, then we'll go our separate ways."

Just as Shinku was about to introduce herself, an impatient voice interrupted her. A woman with long gray hair and two long swords hanging at her waist stood up and was about to walk out.

The already gloomy-faced woman's expression turned even uglier. As the gray-haired woman walked past her, her right hand, shrouded in black energy, suddenly lengthened and reached out to grab the other woman's neck.

Although the gray-haired woman noticed Shinku's movements, when she tried to dodge, she realized that she couldn't keep up with Shinku's speed and could only watch helplessly as Shinku's right hand grabbed her neck.

With a loud bang, the gray-haired woman was slammed into the ground. The moment her body hit the ground, several cold blades emerged from beneath her. Amplified by the swirling black energy, they easily broke through her powerful defenses and pierced her body.

Blood mixed with fragments of internal organs spurted from the gray-haired woman's mouth, staining the air a bloody color. Yu Bai narrowed his eyes, about to step forward to stop Zhen Hong, but was stopped by Bai Lan who appeared in front of him.

"Trash, weren't you so arrogant! Keep going! You're just a piece of trash with a strong obsession personality, yet you dare to provoke me, with my madness personality. Do you really think my tolerance is cowardice, huh!?"

The gray-haired woman seemed to have some kind of ability to use a Stand to take the damage in place of her own body. After her body, which was being tightly gripped by Shinku, blurred for a moment, all the injuries on her body disappeared, and a corpse that looked exactly like her appeared on the ground.

Enraged, Shinku ignored these changes and, lifting the now fully recovered gray-haired woman, slammed her down again. Shinku, fueled by her madness, unleashed a terrifying force, smashing the gray-haired woman onto the newly appeared corpse on the ground, easily turning it into a bloody mess. The woman, who had already recovered, was once again severely injured by this blow.

Although the gray-haired woman quickly created another clone to heal her injuries, Crimson once again slammed her into the pile of flesh and blood. After several repetitions, the gray-haired woman's face turned deathly pale, and her previously vigorous struggles became somewhat weak.

"Alright, that's enough. Little Grey, you should be convinced now. Introduce yourself."

Bai Lan instantly appeared behind Zhen Hong, smiling as she extended her right hand and grasped her raised arm, easily stopping her movement.

"Also, Little Purple, Big Sister, please introduce yourselves. After that, we'll go find Touya-o."

P.S., my classmate dragged me out to experience a holiday job. I was exhausted, but the pay was good, so I'm fairly satisfied.

Chapter Forty-Five: Eldest Sister

"You didn't say anything when she was disrespectful to me, but now you're jumping in. Are you trying to take her side?"

Turning her head to stare intently at Bai Lan, the blackness in Zhen Hong's eyes intensified, and a large amount of black energy suddenly surged from the arm that was still gripping the gray-haired woman's neck, rushing madly towards Yu Bai.

With his smile remaining calm, Bai Lan suddenly released a large amount of golden light from his right hand, which collided with the surging black energy, producing a dull sound like a sharp blade striking ironwood.

"It's just a small test. It's true that you have the madness attribute, but it's also true that you were the last to arrive. We naturally need to test you to confirm whether you have truly awakened your madness."

Bai Lan's eyes narrowed slightly, and although the smile on her face remained unchanged, a dangerous glint appeared in her eyes.

"After all, we don't want someone who isn't qualified around us right now."

Sensing the dangerous atmosphere in the air, Shinku snorted coldly, released her right hand, and let the gray-haired woman fall to the ground.

"Has it been confirmed now?"

Seemingly oblivious to the dissatisfaction in Shinku's tone, after seeing her withdraw her black energy, the dangerous aura emanating from Hyakuran also vanished, as if the sense of danger Shinku had just felt was an illusion.

"Of course it's confirmed."

With a gentle smile, Bai Lan looked down at the pale-faced, gray-haired woman who was trying to get up but kept falling due to her weak limbs. Two golden beams of light shot from his eyes and shone on her.

"Little Grey, that was punishment for your rudeness to your sister. Now, stand up and introduce yourself. Don't be rude again."

The gray-haired woman, who had just been pale and weak, regained her rosy complexion within a few breaths after being bathed in golden light, seemingly having fully recovered.

The gray-haired girl got up, her head bowed, and spoke in a somber voice.

"The sixth son's obsession is loneliness, and his name is Ashes of Fate."

At this point, the two girls who had been sitting quietly to the side finally reacted.

One of the girls, pale-faced with long black hair reaching her waist and exuding a gloomy aura, spoke first.

"I am the seventh child, my obsession is despair, and my name is Luo Zi. Please give me your guidance, Third Sister."

Among the group, the girl named Luo Zi seemed to be the most polite.

Another girl with black hair and golden eyes, expressionless and with a cold gaze, exuding an air of arrogance, put down her book and glanced at Shinku. Even though Shinku had roared loudly and created a bloody scene, it seemed that it had not disturbed her at all.

"The first son, with a wild and arrogant personality, has the name Snake Heart."

Shinku, who had been expressionless because of what had just happened, couldn't help but show a look of surprise mixed with confusion. You see, the rest of them had names that were single characters paired with a color, but their eldest sister's name didn't follow that rule at all.

Seeing her confusion, Bai Lan smiled slightly, ignoring Zhen Hong's expression, which instantly turned ugly upon seeing his smile, and began to explain.

"It seems that your period of awakening your madness was indeed not long ago. This is recorded in the inherited memories. Among the seven of us, each of us has an innate inherited emotion, which is divided into madness type and obsession type according to the strength. Although you, me, and eldest sister are all madness type, the madness that eldest sister inherited is exactly the same arrogance as Father. Therefore, Father naturally made a distinction when he named me."

After hearing Bai Lan's explanation, Zhen Hong's expression became even uglier, and her gaze towards Hexountain turned hostile.

This feeling was as if they were all inferior to Snake Heart, which made Crimson feel genuinely unhappy. In fact, it wasn't just Crimson; the other little snakes also felt dissatisfied. Having inherited Yuan Yuan's bloodline, they were born with a kind of arrogance, so how could they be willing to admit that they were inferior to others, especially since it was an innate inferiority?

"I will definitely defeat you and make Father understand that I am the best."

Staring at Snake Heart, Shinku's expression was grim, and she spoke in a firm tone, her unwavering resolve evident to anyone who heard it.

However, Snake Heart didn't even glance at Shinku. She put the book in her pocket, stood up with elegant yet decisive movements, and spoke in a cold and indifferent tone.

"Let's go find Touya-oh."

Whether by coincidence or not, Snakeheart, just like Ash from before, walked past Crimson without any suspicion.
