Chapter 12, First Demon

Fang Nian sat cross-legged again and closed her eyes.

Two dark stars appeared overhead.

Ren Qiushui immediately focused her attention on the two dark stars.

Fang Nian's demonic star used to be dim because he hadn't cultivated and hadn't transformed his inner demons into demonic entities.

Fang Nian is now a two-star demon, and his second demonic form has already taken shape.

It's still Dark Star?

The two dark stars above Fang Nian's head emitted light as they rose and fell.

The second one also emitted a bluish light.

The first one, however, emitted a yellow light.

Qiuchi also noticed this: "His star is dim; it only shines when it is used."

Fang Nian opened her eyes: "Okay..."

Ren Qiushui, who had never seen what Zaizai looked like, was very curious about what Zaizai actually looked like.

The First Demon Star cast its light, and the swaddled infant appeared in its glow.

The baby is adorable.

very cute.

Fang Nian was a little surprised: "Huh?"

"I can sense her power!"

Ordinary cultivators can never figure out what kind of abilities or special talents their demonic entities possess in their entire lives.

It's one thing that Qingqing's abilities were discovered as soon as she appeared, but Zaizai's abilities were immediately sensed as soon as she appeared?

Fang Nian: "She actually..."

Ren Qiushui interrupted, "Alright, you can leave now."

Upon hearing this, Fang Nian was stunned for a moment, and even Qiu Shui was taken aback.

Fang Nian: "Leave?"

Ren Qiushui turned and walked to the chair under the eaves. She turned around, spread out the sleeves of her red robe, and sat down, then leaned back comfortably in the chair.

"You came to me to learn cultivation. The demonic transformation has been successful. From now on, you only need to absorb demonic energy into the demonic realm every day to cultivate."

"Now that the problem is solved, you can leave."

Okay, okay, you're playing a ruthless queen, right?

Fang Nian: "Theoretically, you are my wife."

Ren Qiushui's expression turned calm, even icy: "We said goodbye half a day ago."

"We have nothing to do with each other anymore."

"I left you here to transform into a demon, just to see what the little one really looks like."

"After all, I took care of her for seven years... Now that I've seen her, I have no more lingering feelings."

"Let's go."

Fang Nian looked at Ren Qiushui and began to ponder.

Today's visit went too smoothly, so smoothly that Fang Nian thought Ren Qiushui would be as obedient to her as she remembered.

Now it seems that once Ren Qiushui made her decision, there was no turning back.

This plot seems familiar; I remember seeing it in a promotional video for a female-oriented novel while browsing short videos in my past life.

Isn't this... a classic "domineering CEO chasing after his wife" scenario?

Who says they wrote this nonsense? It's simply a case of art originating from life.

Fang Nian thought about whether she had any trump cards to play, but found that she didn't have a single card.

He turned to look at Zaizai: "Zizai, she's going to abandon us and run away. We need to stop her quickly!"

"Call me Mom."

The little one looked at Fang Nian, tilted his head, and didn't quite understand: ?

It seems like you're making things difficult for me? Do you think I can talk? You unreliable old man.

Qingqing looked at Fang Nian, even more furious: ?

Whom are you calling "Mom"?

Ren Qiushui: "Out of consideration for our past relationship, I'll tell you another piece of news for free."

She pointed outside the courtyard: "Baihua is looking for you outside; she will kill you."

After saying that, Ren Qiushui, who was sitting in the chair, looked at Fang Nian and said, "Don't look at me, I'm not going to help you."

"It's getting closer!"

Fang Nian knew that Ren Qiushui would never lie to her. If she said that Baihua was close, then she really was close. She estimated that there might be less than two hundred meters left.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Nian picked up the baby and rushed to Ren Qiushui's side, passing by Ren Qiushui and entering the house.

Ren Qiushui remained expressionless, as if she hadn't seen anything.

Qiu Chi: "What's going on here?"

At this moment, Baihua had already arrived at the courtyard gate.

She waited patiently beneath the stone archway of the male succubus's peak, hoping to ambush her.

After waiting for a long time, someone she knew finally came to deliver the news.

It was only then that she realized that Fang Nian was actually able to enter the Succubus Peak!

Of course, the fact that someone familiar with the situation came to inform them also meant that the news of Fang Nian killing Baihua's younger brother, Li Tiandou, had already spread throughout the entire Succubus Peak.

Now, Fang Nian has no choice but to be killed.

Even if Ren Qiushui wanted to protect her, she would have to try.

"Da da da~"

Baihua walked to the courtyard gate and knocked on the door.

Qiu Chi looked at Ren Qiu Shui: "What should we do?"

Ren Qiushui did not react.

"Da da da~"

The knocking became more urgent.

Qiu Chi's mind raced, and he shouted, "Who is it?"

Baihua's voice came from behind the door: "Is that Qiuchi, my sister? I'm Baihua. Is your sister, Ren Qiushui, here?"

Qiu Chi: "Why are you looking for my sister?"

Baihua smiled and said, "I'm not looking for Ren Qiushui, I'm looking for Fang Nian."

Qiu Chi looked anxiously at Ren Qiu Shui.

Ren Qiushui showed no reaction, as if the moment had nothing to do with her.

Qiu Chi thought to herself, "Even if we're going to sever ties, this isn't the way to do it, is it? You'll regret this for the rest of your life."

So he said, "Who is Fang Nian? I don't know her."

Baihua: "Of course he's your brother-in-law, oh no, I should say ex-brother-in-law. Your sister is no longer his Daoist partner, so you have no need to protect him, right?"

Qiu Chi: "Oh, you mean him? I don't know where he is."

At this moment, Fang Nian was looking for a way out inside the house, and put his daughter on the table to look around.

The moment the little guy's bottom touched the ground, he strained with all his might: "Wow!!!!!"

The baby's extremely loud crying that came from inside the room caught everyone off guard.

Fang Nian immediately hugged the baby: "Shh~ Baby, don't cry, don't cry..."

Anyone who has never taken care of a child would think of covering their mouth at this moment, but Fang Nian, who has actually taken care of a child, simply picked up her daughter and started walking around the house.

The baby stopped crying as soon as they started walking.

Baihua, standing outside the door, also realized what was happening: "A baby? Fang Nian!"

Qiu Chi: "Fang Nian isn't with me!"

Baihua didn't care about any of that. She raised her right hand, bent her middle finger and pressed it down with her thumb, then flicked her finger.

"Boom!"

The wooden door was blasted into dust and exploded with a loud bang.

A stream of air composed of a hundred different flower petals dispersed the wood dust, and the hundred flowers stepped into the courtyard.

Of course, she also saw Ren Qiushui immediately.

Upon seeing Ren Qiushui, Baihua hesitated.

Ren Qiushui is a four-star demon, and it is rumored that she is extremely powerful, much stronger than an ordinary four-star demon, and far stronger than her.

Even the strongest three-star demon has no chance of winning against the weakest four-star demon.

Moreover, it was Ren Qiushui.

If she were to take action herself, there would be no chance of victory. What she was considering was not winning, but rather the chances of escaping alive after taking action.

No matter how well she had planned her journey, she panicked the moment she saw Ren Qiushui.

Ren Qiushui sat motionless in the chair.

Qiu Chi: "How did you break in?! Who gave you permission to come in?"

Inside the house, Fang Nian had already found the back door of Qiu Chi's house and ran towards it with her daughter in her arms.

The shattered door in the front yard and the blowing wind were both caused by Baihua herself.

These things, on the contrary, clouded her five senses, and she did not feel anyone running.

She looked at Ren Qiushui and finally spoke: "I heard that you and Fang Nian are no longer husband and wife. If I were to kill him, would you help me?"

Ren Qiushui said indifferently, "I won't help him."

"But I might kill you in a fit of rage, so I suggest you pay for my sister's door and then get out of here."

Baihua laughed: "You still say you won't help him? Perhaps your fifth inner demon will resemble him."

Ren Qiushui didn't refute or argue, but said, "He might have been here just now, but he's probably not here now."

Upon hearing this, Baihua immediately realized that what she said was true.

By focusing all five senses, I immediately sensed someone nearby fleeing westward at an extremely fast speed.

This person has a strong, powerful heartbeat, but a slow heart rate; it's clearly a man's, not a woman's.

Baihua took a herb from her ring and threw it at Qiuchi: "I'll compensate you for your door."

After saying that, he turned around and chased after her.

Qiu Chi asked anxiously, "Sister, why are you still helping her?"

Ren Qiushui: "Let's go see what's going on."

Qiu Chi: "You need to go see Baihua chasing Fang Nian."

Ren Qiushui looked at Qiuchi: "Do you think Baihua can kill Fang Nian? If she could, then Fang Nian wouldn't be Fang Nian anymore."

Qiu Chi: "What do you mean?"

Ren Qiushui: "Don't you also know who the destined one is? Do you still think Fang Nian is that genius of the Demonic Sect? Or the destined one of the Succubus Palace?"

Qiu Chi did not understand what Ren Qiu Shui meant.

Ren Qiushui had already gotten up and walked towards the door: "If Fang Nian wants to live, there is only one way: go through the Succubus Palace and escape to the Male Succubus Peak."

Qiu Chi suddenly realized: "When countless people witness him pass on the message, they will know that he is the one destined for this!"

"Sister, do you want him to return to the elders' and even the temple lord's sights?"

Ren Qiushui: "You're overthinking it. I just want to see a good show."

"Let's go."

At this moment, Fang Nian hugged her daughter and ran wildly.

For the first seven years, Fang Nian was embracing nothing but thin air; today, she's finally embracing something real.

However, they were on the run.

Fang Nian looked down and saw that the baby was already asleep.

They've only been out for less than a minute.

"The design of human genes is truly ingenious."

I just put it down for a moment, and it burst into tears. The sound of its crying could be heard for miles around.

When I picked her up and ran away, she didn't cry at all and just went to sleep.

While running, Fang Nian turned her head to look.

A trail formed by petals appears from afar and approaches.

A hundred flowers descend from the sky!

Fang Nian looked down and saw that the baby was flashing with light, and he himself was moving like the wind, his speed increasing by about seven times!

Fang Nian was just about to reveal the abilities of the First Demon.

But Ren Qiushui stopped her.

I don't know if she genuinely didn't want to know, or if she wanted to keep a secret and not let others know.

At this moment, Fang Nian used the power of the First Magical Artifact.

The First Demon also has two states: one is called "Making a Scene" and the other is called "Quiet".
