I am Guhuoniao, not an umbrella demon, please do not disturb me.

"I saw it in the wolf demon group I mentioned yesterday, hmm... very young, maybe even younger than me,"

"Young?" Bai Qingyu's eyes lit up. "Tell me more about it."

"He was a little boy, not much different from humans except for his ears and eyes. However, I didn't have much contact with him. Besides that, he also had a gourd, which was like a magic weapon of human cultivators and was always with him and could obey his commands."

Bai Qingyu began to look forward to the existence of a demon without a physical form.

Hearing what Zhen said, it seems to be a cub. We'll see how it goes first, and if we get the chance, we'll kidnap it.

As long as he's not inherently bad, she can raise him. After all, a child who isn't inherently bad is like a blank sheet of paper; how he becomes depends on how she teaches him.

Bai Qingyu felt that this trip was worthwhile; even before arriving, she sensed that this fishing village was bound to be interesting.

·

As darkness fell, Bai Qingyu didn't let Zhen continue flying. Seeing that she had exhausted a lot of energy, he simply let her transform back into human form. He and Zhen Tian Xiaodie climbed onto Zhen's back, and after getting a general direction, they flew at full speed. Before it was completely dark, they could see the location of the small fishing village in the distance.

The small fishing village is located by the sea, at most a few hundred meters away from the sea. It is not large in scale, with only two or three hundred households. The total number of people in the village may just be a little over a thousand.

Life here is significantly more comfortable than on the plains.

Far from the world, free from war, drought, and floods, natural and man-made disasters rarely affect this place. However, once a disaster does occur here, it is devastating.

Especially tsunamis and typhoons.

I heard that a child of the gods has been invited to this village. At first, Bai Qingyu thought it was just a talented child. But after hearing Zhen talk about the monster without a physical form, he wondered if this was a monster.

According to Tingzhen, this child was a gift from the sea god and was not born of any human.

If it's also a demon, then that's normal. After all, mythical beasts can sense natural disasters and man-made calamities, just like she could know a drought was coming months in advance.

However, she dared not say for sure what the specifics would be; it was all just speculation at the moment.

The fact that demons had no physical form and did not need to transform was really beyond her comprehension. She had never seen or heard of them before, and Bai Qingyu wondered if they might also be a type of "strange beast".

The term "mythical beast" was given by humans, emphasizing the "mythical" rather than the "beast."

Above the small fishing village, Bai Qingyu circled once before slowly descending.

"This is it..." Zhen gazed at the small fishing village with a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, deep emotion).

A gentle sea breeze caressed her, and the sound of waves crashing reached her ears. Bai Qingyu transformed back into human form, facing the sea. She never imagined that a bird born and raised in the mountains would one day come to the seaside.

She was relatively fortunate, as she still had fragments of memories of the sea buried deep within her heart. But for Zhen Tian and Xiao Die, it was their first real encounter with the ocean and the beach, and their eyes were filled with nothing but awe.

Where will we stay tonight?

Bai Qingyu looked at Zhen; she was familiar with this place and should know.

"Come with me." Zhen walked on the beach, heading towards a part of the fishing village. She was going to find the grandfather who raised her.

It wasn't completely dark yet, and many villagers could still be seen walking around in the fishing village.

The return of Zhen did not cause much of an impact. She was not yet able to transform into a human, and the villagers did not recognize her. It was so dark that they could not see her appearance clearly.

After driving non-stop until they reached three old houses on the edge of the fishing village, Zhen spotted the old man tidying up his fishing nets from afar.

She hurried forward and said, "Grandpa, I'm back."

Upon hearing Zhen's voice, the old man paused, turned around, and upon seeing Zhen, dared not recognize her. "Child, who are you looking for?"

"I am a bird, and this is the form I take when I transform into human form."

"Birds?"

Having lost his fishing net, he quickly picked up the oil lamp from the ground and hung it on the eaves, where the dim light finally allowed him to see clearly.

"It's good that you're back. These are the gentlemen."

"I am her... I am her mother." Bai Qingyu wanted to say that she was her aunt, but then changed her mind.

The son of God sent Zhen to find his mother, but instead, his aunt returned. If the villagers knew this, they would probably think that the curse had not yet been lifted.

Upon hearing this, the old man knew that Bai Qingyu was a demon. He didn't say much and quickly invited Bai Qingyu into the house to sit for a while. He had raised the poisonous bird for so many years and knew everything in his heart.

After some polite conversation, the old man didn't ask any further questions once inside the house.

Zhen went out and briefly explained the situation to the old woman, then went over and cleaned up the small house she used to live in, so that she would have a place to stay.

At night, Bai Qingyu and Zhen were talking about the wolf demon organization when they suddenly heard wolf howls outside, followed by waves of demonic energy rushing towards the small fishing village.

Bai Qingyu's eyes narrowed and she rushed out of the house.

We were just talking about the wolf demon and his underlings, and I didn't expect these guys to arrive so quickly.

I wonder what those little monsters wanted to do when they raided the fishing village at night.

Please vote for me! I'm doing the splits!

Volume 1: Chapter 85 The Wilderness

The night was deep, and the starry sky was dazzling. Bai Qingyu looked around and finally determined the direction from which the demonic power was coming. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly. "There is demonic power. If I'm not mistaken, it's the wolf demon you mentioned."

"Zhen Tian, ​​you stay and look after Xiao Die. Get some rest. I'll go check on them first. Don't worry, they're just weak little monsters. I'll be back soon." Bai Qingyu quickly said, beckoning over the wooden umbrella. "Zhen, let's go!"

As soon as Zhen came out, Bai Qingyu swept her up in a princess carry, and her figure disappeared from the spot.

In the sky, Bai Qingyu shifted his form and arrived above the fishing village.

The entire fishing village was arranged in a straight line, extending east and west like a city wall, but very narrow at both ends. The direction from which these demons were attacking was the rear of the fishing village, that is, the south. Bai Qingyu could see this clearly from the sky; at a glance, there were about thirty demons.

More than thirty is not a small number. The demon races are all different, and various races do not submit to each other. It is difficult for them to unite except for those of the same race. For example, it is difficult for a tiger demon to unite with a rabbit demon.

The demon team below is not of the same race; it's a mixed bag, including wolves, snakes, tigers, leopards, rabbits, deer, and even a carp spirit.

Despite their diverse races, these demons shared a common trait: their strength was relatively low. Bai Qingyu glanced around and noticed that the leader, a black wolf demon with a wolf's head and a human body carrying a long sword, was only at the Golden Core stage, roughly comparable to the Demon Subduing Sect disciple she had chopped up that day.

"That guy is the Black Wolf Demon you mentioned, right?" Bai Qingyu pointed at the leading demon in the sky.

Zhen recounted that she had mentioned in the past that the old man had taken in a wolf demon in addition to her. This wolf demon often went out to fight and had gathered a group of little demons as his subordinates.

"It's him."

"Didn't this guy grow up in a fishing village? How come he's bringing monsters to wreak havoc in the village?"

Judging from Zhen's description of this wolf demon, it seems to be the kind of ungrateful demon. Although this guy is wholeheartedly for the demon race, there is no need for him to compete with a group of ordinary people.

Not knowing the situation yet, Bai Qingyu did not rush down to intervene, but instead continued to observe from the sky.

There is a god in this village; I wonder if he will intervene.

Just as Bai Qingyu had this thought, more than a hundred torches lit up in the fishing village. They were all strong and healthy young men, each holding a torch and either a harpoon or a stick in their other hand.

The roars of monsters and the angry curses of villagers filled the air. Neither side immediately attacked; instead, they maintained a distance and stood in a standoff.

Seeing this, Bai Qingyu touched his smooth chin, finding it quite interesting. A group of fishermen were not afraid of the monsters and dared to attack them directly, even though there were dozens of monsters on the other side.

The style of these monsters is also terrifying. Some have tiger heads, some have human heads and snake bodies, and there's one that's probably an old turtle that has become a spirit, carrying a turtle shell on its back.

In her eyes, the strange-looking monsters were not very strong, but dealing with a group of villagers who didn't even have spiritual power was just a one-sided massacre.

As a result, the two sides actually began to confront each other.

Things started to get interesting, and Bai Qingyu soon saw the so-called Son of God.

The crowd was still cursing at the demons, using incredibly offensive language.

The demons were all tongue-tied and red-faced with anger, but when the black wolf demon took a step forward, all the restless demons quieted down.

Because the scene was so chaotic, Bai Qingyu couldn't even hear what the conflict was about.

The Son of God was just an ordinary-looking ten-year-old boy. Apart from his eyes that seemed to hold starlight and his dark blue hair, he was no different from any other human. His eyes were actually quite normal, meaning he was a human in every way.

However, while it may seem that way, Bai Qingyu's true feelings are not so.

When she comes into contact with Zhen Tian and Zhen, the book of demons in her mind will open and tell her the name of the demon.

Upon seeing the Son of God, a name appeared in Bai Qingyu's mind.

shortage.

Bai Qingyu was deeply shaken.

On the way here, Zhen had told her about demons with human-like forms, but she didn't quite believe it at the time. She always thought, could a demon without a physical form still be considered a demon?

However, the facts are clear: not only does it exist, but it is a demon that doesn't even have the characteristics of a demon.

Bai Qingyu was very confused, even somewhat bewildered. She wondered what the definition of a demon really was, and whether it was truly as she thought. No, this child of the gods named Huang was definitely not an ordinary demon; he must be from Yunru's demon book.

The "demons" recorded in that book of demons are not normal demons, but how can they be called demons if they all look like humans?

Bai Qingyu was completely baffled. She wondered if this desolate place was the form of a demon after it had transformed into human form.

Or perhaps, the Demon Book is actually a broad general term?

It's like calling people from all countries other than China "foreigners".

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure out why. She couldn't explain it away, so Bai Qing simply stopped thinking about it. Whatever, it's normal for her to not understand some things in this big world. The important thing was to enjoy the show.

As soon as the Son of God appeared, the old village chief tapped the ground with his cane, and the villagers quieted down.

"Black Wolf, the village has already given you an answer. That human immortal cannot be handed over to you, but the village will compensate you for the monster that was killed," the Son of God said, his attitude relatively mild.

He looked only ten years old, yet he showed no fear in the face of a group of monsters.

"Compensation?" Black Wolf drew the long sword from his waist. "I don't want compensation, I just want her to pay for her crime in blood!"

The black wolf was taller than a person when it stood up. It had a wolf's head and a human body, with well-developed muscles and wolf fur all over its body. It was shirtless and wore a pair of tattered trousers. Overall, it resembled a werewolf, but it was less primal and ferocious and more like a swordsman.

"You've lived in the village since you were a child, don't you have any feelings for it?"

"What a joke!" The black wolf demon's eyes were fierce. "If I didn't remember the past favors, I would have slaughtered all of you long ago. Divine Child, are you going to take their side? They were able to drive me out of the village and make the decision to sacrifice my sister. You won't fare any better in the future. Your fate will only be worse than mine and my sister's!"

"No, everyone here is a kind person." Huang shook his head, his tone firm.

"Kindness? Back when the merfolk came ashore to eat people, my sister fought valiantly to poison them, but some people said that the disaster was brought about by my sister, and even decided to sacrifice her to the sea god to appease the god's wrath. Have you forgotten about it in just three years?"

“…” Huang remained silent, for he had no words to defend himself.

In the sky, Bai Qingyu glanced at Zhen. Zhen did not answer. From her expression, it was clear that the "sister" the black wolf demon was talking about was Zhen. He hadn't expected such a thing to happen.

“Go back, Black Wolf. Don’t start any more fighting. That human immortal in the village has done us a favor. We can’t possibly hand her over to you.” The village chief stepped forward, his aged face expressionless.

"It's laughable. My sister risked her life to kill merfolk back then and you all said she was kind to you. This time, a human cultivator came and killed one of my brothers from a village that I didn't even come near, and you all say she was kind to you."
