We ran and hid along the way, and when we reached a corner, I pushed open a dilapidated wooden door and pulled Su Yan and Xiao Hei Mao inside.
"Hey, you little rascal, how did you get in through the back door?"
Old Li's voice came from behind the stove. He glanced at me and then frowned at Su Yan and Xiao Hei Mao. "Tsk, what's going on with these two?"
"Don't ask questions now, just get inside!"
Old Li's place was always protected by a barrier that could conceal Su Yan and Xiao Hei Mao's demonic aura.
"Xiaoman, what’s going on?"
I wiped the sweat from my forehead and poured myself and Su Yan some water. "It's Jiang Haotian; he wants to capture Su Yan and intends to use her to activate the Refining Demon Technique!"
Old Li's expression changed dramatically as he slammed his hand on the table. "That bastard! How dare he?!"
The three of us sat in a row against the wall, watching Old Li pace around the room while cursing.
"This can't happen! If he succeeds, the demon clan will retaliate. Once a war breaks out, the balance of the Three Races will be shattered, and chaos will ensue in the realms of humans, immortals, and demons!"
"Exactly!" I quickly agreed.
Old Li gritted his teeth. "Even if it costs me my life, I can't let Jiang Haotian drag the entire Jiang family down with him!"
"As members of the demon clan, we won't stand by either. Xiao Hei will set off soon to inform the clan leader and alert the demon clan to be on high alert," Su Yan said as she gently rubbed Xiao Hei Mao's head. "But how do we stop Jiang Haotian?"
"Well..." I made a calming gesture, "I’ve already thought of a plan. In a month, it will be the Jiang family's annual family meeting when all the Elder Jiangs gather. We’ll expose Jiang Haotian right there in front of our ancestors and all the elders at the Jiang Family Ancestral Hall, forcing them to expel him from the Jiang family!"
My idea received unanimous support, and the two demons officially formed a temporary alliance with me.
However, just as the atmosphere was heating up, a bucket of cold water was thrown over us—
Old Li rubbed his chin, looking at me disdainfully. "Wait a minute! Kid! With your current level... don’t even think about exposing conspiracies; you might not even make it into the ancestral hall! You need to train harder!"
Su Yan chuckled elegantly. "You really are too weak."
Xiao Hei Mao chimed in with a jab, "You're as useless as can be."
I: ... Wasn't this supposed to be a loving family?
From that day on, Su Yan and Xiao Hei Mao officially moved into the small courtyard behind my barbecue stall for temporary lodging.
The daily routine went something like this: I was responsible for grilling skewers while she took care of eating them. Each skewer represented Su Yan's "unsealing," and every bite was a "replenishment" of my power.
Old Li held a wine jug in one hand and a small whip in the other.
"Xiaoman, steady your left hand! Don’t shake it like you can’t hold the pen!"
"You little brat, your blade is weak! With that little strength, you couldn't even chop through a piece of pork belly!"
...
Soon, a month had passed.
Su Yan gained ten pounds, I lost ten pounds, and Old Li's whip had slimmed down a notch.
However, this method of "eating, drinking, and taking hits" proved to be visibly effective.
Now, my internal spiritual energy had merged seamlessly with the demonic power, and my cultivation had made remarkable progress.
"At your current level!" Old Li said with satisfaction as he pinched my arm, "You could probably hold your own against Jiang Haotian."
I raised an eyebrow, "Probably? Are we talking about a definite match or not?"
