"Vivienne, why don't we send a message to our senior brother and ask him to take us back?"
After the shopkeeper left, Illusion Cat also had an idea.
Feng Ming nodded in agreement, "Yes, we shouldn't waste any more time here."
"I don't want to rely on our senior brother every time something happens. This way, it won't achieve the effect of tempering at all," Chu Lingwei sighed. Half a year it is, anyway, she could still cultivate here.
"Then are we going back?" Feng Ming blinked her eyes. Those demon cultivators outside looked very scary.
"We'll go back after half a year," Chu Lingwei thought for a moment. It was better to wait for half a year. She could plant spirit herbs here, which wouldn't delay her cultivation.
Illusion Cat looked confused, but as long as Vivienne said not to go back, then they wouldn't.
After eating the spirit food, Chu Lingwei informed the shopkeeper and left the restaurant directly.
"Let's go have a look around here." Chu Lingwei, accompanied by the two small beasts, walked slowly along the street. Now that she knew how to leave, she could take her time to explore this demon realm.
"Who are you? Let go of me!"
Not long after they walked out, a beautiful woman was stopped by a demon cultivator. The woman kept trying to leave but couldn't escape the demon cultivator's encirclement.
"Little girl, you look nice. Why don't you come home with me?" The demon cultivator stared at the woman with greed in his eyes.
"Hmph, you smelly dog, you dare to block my way? Hurry up and get out of the way, or don't blame me for being impolite." The woman was clearly furious, glaring at the demon cultivator blocking her path, her face turning pale and then red.
Chu Lingwei walked alongside the crowd, observing the unfolding scene. She couldn't sense any spiritual or demonic energy from the woman, who seemed to be an ordinary person.
"You, a person without any demonic energy, how do you plan to be impolite to me?" The demon cultivator clearly thought the same and burst into laughter after the woman's threat.
The woman's expression grew uglier. She looked around for help, knowing that fighting was not an option here. She just needed to scare off the demon cultivator in front of her.
However, the woman was destined to be disappointed. As an ordinary person without any demonic energy, no one would help her.
"Do you know who my parents are? If you dare to block my way today, you won't have a good outcome tomorrow." The woman's eyes were sharp, trying to intimidate the demon cultivator.
"No matter who your parents are, they are nothing more than a demon and a human cultivator. The offspring of demon and human cultivators are the lowest of the low." The demon cultivator's eyes were filled with disdain. Their demon race allowed human cultivators to cultivate here, but they strongly disliked the union of human and demon cultivators.
"You..."
"Let's go, come home with me. I promise I won't treat you badly." The demon cultivator laughed heartily, stepped forward, and reached out to grab the woman's arm.
A person without any demonic energy was easily restrained by the demon cultivator, unable to resist.
"Let go of me! How dare you treat me like this!" The woman was on the verge of tears. She could imagine what her fate would be if she were taken away by this demon cultivator.
In that moment, Shui Qin deeply regretted not listening to her mother's words and sneaking out.
The demon cultivator didn't want to waste any more words with Shui Qin. He pulled her arm and was about to leave.
Chu Lingwei frowned. Were the demon cultivators here so indifferent, just watching a demon cultivator forcibly abduct a woman?
"Wait a moment." Chu Lingwei blocked their path. "Please release my sister."
The demon cultivator looked at Chu Lingwei, who had appeared before him, and was displeased. "You are a human cultivator, how could you have a half-demon, half-human sister? Get out of my way."
"That's none of your business. Let my sister go." Chu Lingwei chuckled, her hand already gripping the Ice Jade Frost Sword. "If you're not going to, then I'll have to take her by force."
"Fighting is not allowed here. If you fight, you should know the consequences." The demon cultivator's demonic energy emanated from him, nearly causing Shui Qin to fall to the ground.
"My family is being bullied, and I am defending myself." Chu Lingwei slowly approached the demon cultivator. "You, a grown man, forcibly abducting a woman here. Isn't anyone going to manage this? You are truly a disgrace to your demon realm."
These words caused the surrounding demon cultivators' expressions to change.
"What did you say?" The demon cultivator was even more enraged. When did a human cultivator dare to speak to him like this?
"I said, you should die for forcibly abducting a maiden here." Chu Lingwei's eyes were filled with disgust. "You are truly a scum among your demon cultivators."
The demon cultivator was furious. He let out a roar, and his body began to swell, transforming into a large wolfdog in front of Chu Lingwei.
"Roar."
Feng Ming flew into the air, her body growing several times larger. She could handle this stinky dog by herself.
At this moment, a more potent demonic energy swept through, sending the stinky dog flying.
"Who is causing trouble here?"
The demon cultivator, sent flying several meters, stood up with a shake, and quickly ran away.
Chu Lingwei was speechless. So useless.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for saving me." Seeing the demon cultivator flee, Shui Qin stepped forward and gratefully bowed to Chu Lingwei.
"You are human?" Chu Lingwei scrutinized Shui Qin. She had no spiritual or demonic energy, so she must be an ordinary person.
A flicker of disappointment crossed Shui Qin's eyes as she nodded. "Yes, I've been an ordinary person since birth."
"You should hurry home. It's very dangerous for someone without spiritual energy to be walking around here." Knowing she had no spiritual energy but still daring to come to a place full of cultivators and demon cultivators was rather bold.
After what she had just experienced, Shui Qin was already terrified.
"Fellow Daoist, could I borrow a communication talisman? I want to send a message to my parents to pick me up and take me home."
"You probably can't use mine." Chu Lingwei's communication talismans only worked on the Profound Sky Continent. She didn't have any demon realm communication talismans yet. "I just arrived too and don't have one."
Shui Qin let out a soft "ah," looking lost.
"Let's go, I'll buy you one." Chu Lingwei looked at Shui Qin, who had no spiritual energy at all, and her heart softened slightly.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist." Shui Qin's face lit up with joy, and she quickly followed Chu Lingwei. "Fellow Daoist, are you a cultivator who accidentally entered here?"
"Yes."
"My father is also a cultivator who accidentally entered here. He has been in the demon realm for three hundred years." Shui Qin, being lively, started telling Chu Lingwei about her parents.
Chu Lingwei led Shui Qin into a shop selling magical artifacts and bought a communication talisman for her. "Do you know how to use it?"
"I do." Shui Qin took the communication talisman, bit her finger, and quickly wrote on it. The talisman disappeared, and the message was sent.
"You wait here, I'm leaving now." Chu Lingwei had intentionally brought Shui Qin to this larger shop, where she should be safe.
"You're leaving?" Shui Qin looked panicked when Chu Lingwei said she was leaving.
