Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

As soon as Yu Chan said that, she regretted it a little, because she remembered that her senior brother was still kneeling in the backyard listening to the teachings of socialism.

It might not be appropriate for me to barge in at this time.

Yunping, quite coincidentally, waved his hand and said, "No need, just leave it there. Pigeons attract each other. When Lao San has time later, the pigeon will go find it on its own."

Ye Yuchan: "What kind of amazing theory is this...?"

"Speaking of which..."

Yunping immediately changed the subject with a single sentence: "Have you seen Xiao Jiang? That kid's cultivation was about to break through, but now we don't know where he's gone."

"Senior Brother Jiang?"

Ye Yuchan gasped, trying hard to recall Jiang Yuetian's whereabouts.

If she remembered correctly, Jiang Yuetian was quite different from her own junior sister Luo Kui, who was always busy and plotting against her senior brother. He had absorbed the Wildfire Flower that Yun Ping had left him earlier very well.

His Lava Body is a derivative of the Great Wilderness Flame, and this Wilderness Flame Flower is an excellent material for him to improve his physique and cultivation.

During the months that everyone spent traveling to the Kuntian Domain, he extracted all the essence from the Desolate Flame Flower. Not only did the purity of the Lava Body improve further, but his cultivation also reached the peak of the Transformation God stage, which can be considered as half a step into the Origin Realm.

To be honest, the old rogue had already prepared the materials for his promotion, but these past two days, since Jiang Yuetian went to Jinglin City, he hasn't returned for a while.

A hint of nervousness appeared on Lin Yuan's face. "Senior Brother Jiang... could something have happened to him? I haven't seen Senior Brother Jiang lately..."

"Something happened?" Yunping frowned, then shook his head. "It shouldn't be. If something really happened to him, I should have noticed immediately."

Ye Yuchan felt this deeply.

Back in that underground fighting arena, I really owed a lot to that old rogue. Although the feeling of having my body invaded wasn't pleasant, the sense of security that arose from it was...

It really makes me feel at ease.

That's why she unconditionally believed Yunping's words.

I also believe that Jiang Yuetian will be fine.

however--

crunch.

The gate of the courtyard of Yuntian Academy was slowly pushed open.

tick... tick...

Like raindrops... no, dark red liquid dripped from the tall, slender figure in front of them.

"I'm back……"

With an extremely strong fishy smell, her originally bright purple hair was dyed dark purple, and although the white and red Taoist robe she wore was still smooth and clean, her originally fair and tender skin was now covered by an unknown pitch black and scarlet color.

The stunningly beautiful woman named Jiang Yuetian had a face that was both captivating and exquisite, yet it was filled with exhaustion and pain.

If that were all, it wouldn't have caused the three people in the distance to change their expressions so drastically.

Thump—thump—

Two consecutive sounds, like heavy objects falling to the ground.

Ye Yuchan looked in the direction of the sound and found two fleshy, humanoid figures curled up on the cold floor of the courtyard, riddled with countless bloody holes. Their blood seemed to have dried up, but some unknown dark red crystals had peeled off their bodies.

"Hey, hey... what is this...?"

Ye Yuchan swallowed hard, her cheeks growing paler as she looked at Jiang Yuetian, who seemed to have been through a sea of ​​blood.

Xiao Lin Yuan was also quite frightened. She quickly put away her guqin, then jumped off Yun Ping and rushed towards Jiang Yuetian with a tense and worried expression.

"Second Senior Brother, what...what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Lin Yuan seemed to want to hug her senior brother, but the strong smell of blood and stench emanating from him, along with the sticky, dark red fluid covering his body, made her momentarily unable to find a place to embrace him.

Faced with Lin Yuan's anxious expression, Jiang Yuetian's eyes seemed to narrow wearily. He took a few deep breaths and subconsciously reached out to stroke Lin Yuan's head, but his sticky hand stopped in mid-air.

He gave a wry smile, then looked at Yunping, whose face was full of solemnity.

"teacher……"

The old rogue naturally understood his meaning and casually cast several magic arrays, enveloping Jiang Yuetian entirely.

Accompanied by a dazzling white light, the dark red slime covering Jiang Yuetian's body was instantly swallowed by the white light, which seemed to be able to cleanse all the filth.

After the light and spiritual energy of the magic array disappeared, Jiang Yuetian's stunningly beautiful appearance, as if she had descended to earth, returned to everyone's sight.

At that moment, Xiao Lin Yuan suddenly hugged her senior brother's slender waist.

"Good girl... good girl... senior brother is alright."

Jiang Yuetian patted Lin Yuan's head, and a smile finally appeared on his exhausted and somewhat deathly pale face.

"Senior Brother Jiang..."

Ye Yuchan took a deep breath, finally recovering from her shock. Her gaze fell on the two strange lumps of flesh lying beside him: "Where...where did you go?"

"Actually, I just strolled around Jinglin City."

"Near Jinglin City..." Ye Yuchan's lips twitched twice: "These two... things don't look like magical beasts at all..."

"I'm also very curious about this matter."

Jiang Yuetian's gaze lingered on Yun Ping, while the old rogue put his cola aside and sat up from his reclining position, staring at Jiang Yuetian with a serious expression.

"Tell me what happened."

The stunningly beautiful woman parted her cherry lips slightly, a hint of fear showing on her pale face, while her captivating, ghostly eyes were filled with apprehension about something unknown.

He took a deep breath before slowly speaking: "To be honest, I don't really know what happened. I was on my way back to the courtyard when I suddenly encountered these... unknown monsters."

"Suddenly?" Ye Yuchan seemed somewhat surprised: "These monsters... are they the demons I saw in the Kuntian Domain before?"

"Do not."

Yunping denied Ye Yuchan's guess: "They are not demons, not even demons."

Jiang Yuetian's expression changed slightly, and he continued, "These... monsters can also speak human language and said some rather strange things. They kept chasing me. Their numbers were exaggerated. I fought off many of them, but in the end, I only managed to kill these two."

In other words, he has been mainly dodging and retaliating these past two days.

Judging from the injuries on Jiang Yuetian's body, he did not suffer a fatal blow, so it is normal that Yun Ping did not sense it.

"I see……"

A look of understanding appeared on Yunping's face, but his eyes were still full of confusion as he looked at the two lumps of monster flesh.

Seeing this, Ye Yuchan asked, "Do you know what these two... things are?"

"Ah."

Yunping nodded, then pinched his chin with some confusion.

"To be honest, these things aren't exactly demons, nor are they monsters. According to classification, they should be..."

"dragon."

4. Yalong and Xin

Their flesh was covered with bloody holes pierced by the spear tip. From any angle, these two creatures, which looked like they were curled up together and whose flesh was twisted all over, did not resemble the dragons of legend who could shake the heavens and the earth with a single roar.

At least Yu Chan still remembers the Black Dragon Clan she saw in the Blackwater Abyss. They were true giant dragons, and if their enormous heads were to breathe out a dragon's breath, it would be a raging inferno capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.

Humans are as powerless as ants before dragons. If a single scale of that Black Dragon King were broken off, it could be used as a hard bed for Ye Yuchan.

And what about the two corpses placed in front of the courtyard gate?

It doesn't even resemble a dragon, let alone dragon scales. It doesn't even have a regular shape. In fact, it does resemble a demon somewhat.

"You old scoundrel... are you sure this thing really is a dragon?"

Not wanting to get too close to that unidentified lump of flesh that could easily be censored, Ye Yuchan stood at a distance, pointing at the two things her second senior brother had carried back, and whispered, "To me, it looks like a lump of flesh and blood slime..."

In response, Jiang Yuetian sided with Ye Yuchan: "Teacher, is this species... really not a demon? They don't seem to have any connection with the dragon race."

Even Lin Yuan craned her neck to look at Yun Ping's face, which was wearing sunglasses.

The old rogue waved his hand and said, "These things are indeed dragons, although they do look a bit like blobs of flesh with mosaics, but their essence... is indeed dragons."

"It's just that it's a little different from the dragons you're familiar with."

Ye Yuchan: "This is no longer at the 'slightly' level..."

“Indeed…” Jiang Yuetian recalled the scene when he encountered these monsters outside Jinglin City. The disgusting, twisted slime was unforgettable: “It was completely different from any dragon we had ever seen.”

"They are sub-dragons, and to be precise, they are the product of failed reproduction..."

"What does that mean?" Ye Yuchan was a little confused about the meaning of failed reproduction.

Yunping naturally knew that his disciples were unaware of these matters concerning the dragon race, but for him, who had once commanded the entire Black Dragon Clan, these matters were all too clear to him.

So he patiently explained to everyone: "The reproduction of dragons is a very troublesome matter. Of course, if they reproduce internally, there will be far fewer problems, but some dragons like to mess around. Today they might get a magical beast, tomorrow a sheep, and there are even examples of them turning into humans and messing around with humans. And most of the dragon offspring born under these circumstances will have some degree of deterioration..."

Hearing the old rogue's words, Ye Yuchan couldn't help but sigh, "So, for dragons, there's no such thing as reproductive isolation..."

Jiang Yuetian and Lin Yuan were both taken aback, as neither of them had ever heard of the modern theory of reproductive isolation.

However, Ye Yuchan and Yunping always came up with some strange terms, which they had long been used to, so they didn't take it to heart.

"However, these wyverns... don't seem to be the product of reproduction with humans; rather, they seem more like..."

At this point, Yunping unconsciously frowned, as if he had thought of something rather unpleasant.

Seeing Yunping suddenly fall silent, Lin Yuan, whose curiosity had been piqued, couldn't sit still any longer. She immediately ran to Yunping's side, hugged him, and asked, "Teacher, what is it?"

"Um……"

Yunping couldn't help but click his tongue and uttered a piece of information that surprised everyone.

"More like the offspring of dragons and demons."

demon?!

These words startled not only Ye Yuchan, but also Lin Yuan and Jiang Yuetian.

What is a demon?

The most vicious and ruthless being in the Abyss of Demons.

During the catastrophe a million years ago, Emperor Gu Tianren not only suppressed the Demon Slayer, but also many other evil demons, including the Heavenly Demon and the Ancient Demon, but the most numerous of them were these twisted demons.
