I have the best bloodline

"Holy shit."

Su Yan didn't know what this thing was, but when he saw the jade pendant in his hand crack, he realized that Su Yan was about to crack as well.

The jade pendant that Su's mother had repeatedly instructed her to activate cracked immediately after activation. How could Su Yan remain calm about this?

A moment later, a strange noise came from the windowsill as the wooden window sash was pushed open.

"call out--"

As Su Yan stared blankly at the jade pendant, a guest appeared outside the window on the second floor of the inn. She appeared to be about fourteen or fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a low-cut ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) in light pink with numerous white embellishments. She appeared on Su Yan's windowsill with a shimmering light and whistled at him.

"Little darling, what do you want from your older sister?"

The girl shook the broken jade pendant in her hand and explained to Su Yan, "This is a magical artifact from the Southern Demonic Path, called the Divine Consciousness Soul-Chasing Jade. Each of the two jade pendants contains a wisp of my divine consciousness and your mother's. Once activated, as long as it is within the effective range of the jade, it can transmit messages regardless of space, time, or even arrays."

"I came as soon as I received your message. Is this how you treat your elders?"

The girl disregarded etiquette, using one hand to prop herself up on the windowsill as she flipped into the room. Looking at Su Yan with a beaming smile, she gestured with her hand, saying, "I remember the last time I saw you, you were just a fox-patterned egg. In the blink of an eye, you've become a little fox!"

“Life is truly wondrous. Chong Qiong, your mother’s Daoist partner originated from the proud insect race of strange beasts.”

After marveling at the wonder of time, the girl briefly introduced herself and her race to Su Yan.

In the world of demons, they can be roughly divided into three categories from highest to lowest: divine beasts, exotic beasts, and demonic beasts.

Mythical beasts are born with a noble and healthy nature, possessing innate talents and supernatural abilities that are unimaginable to ordinary people.

The mythical beasts are slightly less powerful, but they still possess divine power.

Monsters are the most common; ordinary beasts that cultivate to a certain level and gain rationality become monsters.

Bloodline does not represent cultivation strength, but it represents the starting point of a demon race. The nobler the bloodline, the fewer detours one needs to take in cultivation. Divine beasts and exotic beasts are born with intelligence and powerful supernatural abilities, while ordinary demon beasts need hundreds of years of arduous cultivation to obtain them.

"Su Qing is really willing to give up her hundreds of years of cultivation to create a physical body for you."

Chong Qiong looked at Su Yan with a face full of amazement, reaching out to poke, touch, and pinch his body. After determining Su Yan's current cultivation level by feeling his bones, which was roughly equivalent to the Qi Refining stage in humans, and still a short distance away from the Foundation Establishment stage, she exclaimed in amazement again.

This is because it is unreasonable. For demons, childbirth means the arrival of a period of weakness, and the fetus in the womb will consume a lot of the female demon's spiritual energy during its development.

Instead, the fetus in the womb will have cultivation at birth and will not lack the ability to take care of itself even if it leaves the mother beast's care.

Given the Nine-Tailed Fox bloodline, Su Yan should have possessed the power of a Golden Core cultivator at birth, but his current cultivation level is only at the Qi Refining stage, which is unreasonable and contrary to common sense.

However, this is not inexplicable!

Judging from Su Yan's flawless human form, Chong Qiong probably knew where the spiritual energy went when Su's mother was pregnant with the fetus.

Nine-tailed foxes are born into nobility, but they are still foxes and do not possess the ability to transform into human form at birth.

In this world, humanity is thriving and favored by Heaven. Humanity's fortune is ever-growing, and any creature that can take human form can receive this blessing in this way.

It's likely that Su's mother used all the spiritual energy she had when she conceived him to shape Su Yan into human form. In this way, even the demon race, whose cultivation speed was originally extremely slow, could receive the favor of the Heavenly Dao and gain a boost in their cultivation speed.

Demons need to reach the Nascent Soul stage of cultivation to transform into human form.

Humans cultivate quickly, but at the cost of a short lifespan. Demons, on the other hand, are born long-lived and possess powerful physiques, so it's understandable that their cultivation is slower.

When a female beast transforms her unborn child, it usually only takes the form of a beastman, so that the unborn child will have some cultivation power at birth. It is rare for the fetus to be completely transformed into a human form.

This means that the mother animal needs to care for her cubs until they are able to protect themselves.

Judging from Su Yan's current situation, Su's mother intends to take care of him until he reaches adulthood.

However, they encountered an elder from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan coming to their door.

For Su Yan's physical and mental health and for the sake of Lingdang, Su's mother had no choice but to send Su Yan to live with a friend.

Chong Qiong should be able to take good care of Su Yan, right?

It should be fine, right?

Ah Chong, you won't let me down, will you?

Sorry, I'm not feeling well and updates have been slow.

I have a slight fever, but I already mentioned that I would be releasing a new book within three days, so I wouldn't dare to make a false promise.

Because I couldn't buy the self-testing kit.

I don't know what's wrong with me right now. My lungs feel like they're being stabbed with knives. I also have occasional low-grade fever, cough, and high pressure in my eyes.

Chapter 3: People listen to music in brothels, so why am I singing?

In the primordial continent, "Daoist companion" refers to a like-minded partner on the path of cultivation, someone who shares life and death experiences and maintains a close relationship. Only such a person is qualified to be called a "Daoist companion".

Daoist partners can be said to be the most trustworthy fellow Daoists, second only to blood relatives like parents.

Chong Qiong was Su's mother's Daoist partner, and in terms of seniority, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for Su Yan to call her "Auntie".

Su Yan initially thought the same way, since he would have to rely on Chong Qiong a lot for his future life in the Xia Yu Dynasty.

However, plans can change faster than reality.

"I've heard... I've heard it too. True dragon-type demons are actually two-headed, just like snake demons. Could you please broaden my horizons?"

After examining Su Yan's body and confirming that he hadn't been injured or suffered any incurable injuries during his escape, Chong Qiong leaned close to Su Yan's ear with a sly grin and asked him about some rumors in the cultivation world:

"I asked your mother before, but she always kept it a secret and told me it was a confidential matter, refusing to say anything about it."

The four great seas are the territories of the four great dragon clans, but the number of true dragons can be counted on one hand. Even if the true dragons eat fertility pills every day and work hard, the number of true dragons is still so small that they cannot be found even if you want to search for them.

Therefore, although dragons are not seen in the martial arts world, legends of the true dragon clan are everywhere.

Among them, what Chong Qiong was most curious about was how Heilong had managed to seduce Su Qing. She simply couldn't believe that there wasn't some kind of supernatural ability involved.

The nine-tailed foxes of the Su clan are the most alluring. Their bewitching talents can be so captivating that a smile can topple a city, or so powerfully that a smile can steal a person's soul and cause them to vanish without a trace.

For the Su family, allure is a deadly weapon; lecherous men can hardly even get close, and they all die. Yet, Su Qing ended up with the Black Dragon, which left Chong Qiong completely baffled. How could the lecherous worm get close to Su Qing and reproduce with her?

"."

Upon hearing Chong Qiong's question, Su Yan opened his mouth wide and after a long while, he replied blankly, "I may have inherited more of the Nine-Tailed Fox bloodline power. At least for me, my body should be no different from that of a normal Nine-Tailed Fox."

Chong Qiong's question shocked Su Yan, and the image of the great senior of the demon race in his mind gradually cracked.

"That's a pity. I thought you could answer my long-standing question. I've never understood why your mother chose such a lecherous worm. Actually, I've always thought highly of the innocent young man from the Tengu family."

Chong Qiong shook her head with a look of disappointment, sighed about her youthful days, and said:

"Since there's nothing else, I'll take you out for a walk to familiarize yourself with Xia Yu's main city before we go home!"

"My dad might not be that lewd; it's more accurate to say that my parents' way of getting along was quite strange."

In Su Yan's memory, there was actually no deep impression of her father, because he was always a person who came and went in a hurry, returning one night and running away the next, or returning and immediately setting up an array to hide.

But one thing Su Yan was certain of was that when he and his father stood side by side, they looked like brothers, which showed that his mother had a fondness for young men.

If Su Yan hadn't known that his father was a great demon from the North Sea, he felt that if he had taken the case to the authorities and held a trial without outsiders knowing the situation, his elderly mother would have faced three to five years in prison.

"Wait a moment, I'll leave a letter."

Seeing Chong Qiong beckoning to her, Su Yan roughly knew that she was probably planning to lead her out through the window instead of the main entrance. Su Yan quickly went to the table, picked up a brush, and left a letter on the pages of a book on the table:

I'm off to get rich and powerful, don't worry about me.

Su Yan's handwriting was concise and powerful. When he signed his name, Su Yan deliberately transformed back into the form of a white fox and forcefully slapped a palm print on it, as if to sweep away all the resentment he had encountered on the road.

Yu Yanning is the most perverted blond girl Su Yan has encountered in Xia Yu territory since she broke out of the eggshell!

Although there is a saying in Xia Yu territory that no village is complete without a fox spirit, the other young men and women in the caravan could at most pet the fox's belly, which was already the most outrageous thing they could do.

But Yu Yanning insisted on holding the fox family's heirloom bell in one hand.

She proudly told her companions that this was the most effective way to pray for marriage in her hometown!

This pure white and adorable little white fox must be the legendary nine-tailed fox incarnate!

Touch him more, and your perfect match will naturally come to you.

"Go touch your own thigh!"

Su Yan snorted and, still looking annoyed, wiped his front paws on the tablecloth. Using his dragon talent, he condensed a ball of water and washed the ink off his hands.

………………

After leaving a letter for Yu Yanning, Su Yan jumped to Chong Qiong's side and manifested human form.

Chong Qiong glanced at Su Yan's original form, nodded thoughtfully, and then, a second later, she put her hand on Su Yan's shoulder, grabbed his clothes strap, and Su Yan jumped out of the window and began to walk in the sky.

"Although I don't think it's necessary, I still have to tell you that Xia Yu's main city is a no-fly zone. Flying on a sword or soaring through the air within the main city will result in severe penalties, potentially leading to financial ruin."

Chong Qiong conjured spiritual energy bricks in front of her and carried Su Yan through the crowded streets: "Visiting brothels or entertainment venues is legal here, but seducing someone's husband or wife is illegal. At the very least, you'll be paraded through the streets from noon until night."

"Well, widows aren't a big problem, but you absolutely can't force them. Emperor Yu of Xia knew about your audacity and the allure of widows, so he specially created a comprehensive law to castrate those daring madmen. After being castrated, they will have to perform hard labor in the palace."

When Xia Yu founded the country, he received strong support from his empress. Within Xia Yu's territory, even ordinary women possessed a certain social status, and it was not necessary to be a cultivator to obtain the social status that was rightfully theirs.

Women were present in all walks of life, from powerful officials to merchants, and rumors of their wives visiting brothels were commonplace.

Chong Qiong felt that she might need to explain these things to the little fox. Xia Yu's shrew was the kind of woman who could catch her husband in a brothel and smash his head with a stool.

With the little fox's looks, once he gets home, he'll probably attract a lot of jealousy and rivalry among the ladies.

"?"

Chong Qiong led Su Yan on a stroll through the sky. Although their movements seemed slow, each step covered a distance of several meters, allowing them to explore the bustling city of Xia Yu.

But as they descended from the sky, Su Yan saw Chong Qiong fall towards a brothel, which stunned Su Yan: "Auntie, isn't it inappropriate for you to bring me to a brothel in broad daylight?"

Su Yan had been to the brothel before. When Su's mother had free time, she would take Su Yan, who was in his fox form, there to eat pastries.

Goulan was essentially a theater, except that the workers there were mostly women who performed operas and dances on stage in slightly revealing clothing.

In modern terms, it's like a pixelated foot massage parlor.

"What do you mean by brothels? From now on, this place is your home!"

"?"

"Don't you know that I run a brothel?"

Su Yan: "???"

My mother never mentioned this to me; she only said that she had a reliable old friend in Xia Yu and that I should come and seek refuge with him.
