I Knew You Weren't Human at First Sight

"What a terrible little brother!"

Zi Yuan watched from the side, utterly speechless, wondering what Lin San had done to offend him.

Soon--

News of Lin San obtaining a peerless treasure spread throughout the ruins. All cultivators were searching for Lin San's whereabouts, making Lin San curse profusely. Who on earth had spoken such a truthful thing?

"Achoo!!"

Qin Feng couldn't help but sneeze, suspecting someone was badmouthing him behind his back.

But his attention was quickly drawn to the Blood Bodhi. He had obtained a total of 32, and after swallowing one, a massive surge of energy immediately erupted within him.

The effect of solidifying the foundation and cultivating the origin immediately made his somewhat unstable foundation, after just breaking through to the third level of the Transcendent Realm, become even more solid and powerful.

"As expected of a rare Heavenly grade, truly powerful!"

Zi Yuan was also astonished by the effect after consuming one.

Just then--

A woman in ancient white clothing appeared, looking at the Blood Bodhi in Qin Feng's hand with a complex expression.

"Sister, what is it?" Zi Yuan asked curiously.

"What sister!"

Qin Feng grabbed Zi Yuan, his face cold as he shouted, "Demonic beast, I can tell at a glance that you are not human!!"

"Not human? Then you're a demon!!"

Zi Yuan was greatly startled and quickly hid behind Qin Feng.

Unlike the Tooth Tiger Demon Beast they had encountered last time, this kind of demon beast that could transform into human form was definitely a great demon among demon beasts, its strength could only be described as terrifying.

"That's right, she is a demon!"

Since learning the Great Mighty Dragon technique, Qin Feng had gained the ability to distinguish between humans and demons. He was very certain that the white-clothed woman before him was a transformed great demon.

"Don't misunderstand, I mean no harm!"

The white-clothed woman was extremely surprised that Qin Feng could see she was a demon at a glance.

"Do you think we'd believe you!?"

Qin Feng dared not relax for a moment, forming the hand seals for the Great Mighty Dragon technique.

He had long heard from Tenth Ancestor that in the Archaic Era, myriad races coexisted, and among them, the human race and the Demon Race fought the fiercest. "No ill intentions" was definitely not enough to sit down and share drinks with.

The white-clothed woman hesitated before speaking, "Actually, I entered the ruins to find rare treasures for my newborn child. However, I am very weak after just giving birth and cannot compete with those people for the Blood Bodhi. I don't need much, just ten will do."

After speaking, the white-clothed woman looked at Qin Feng with pleading eyes.

As a transformed great demon, revealing that she had just given birth was a very dangerous act.

Great demons were treasures all over. Once outsiders knew, they would definitely take advantage of her weakness to capture her, skin her alive, and dismember her, either to refine magic treasures or pills.

If she encountered beast tamers, it would be even worse; she would be fitted with a beast-taming collar and lose her freedom.

Therefore, she was gambling, gambling that Qin Feng was not that kind of person.

Looking at the white-clothed woman's pleading eyes, Qin Feng seemed to see his mother in a daze.

For the past eight years, Yun Xiyue's care for him had been meticulous. Now that he had chosen this path, his mother would likely be the most hurt.

"For the sake of great maternal love, I can give you ten out of humanitarianism!"

Qin Feng changed the subject, "But I think as a mother, you wouldn't want your child to develop a sense of getting something for nothing in the future. Let's just do a symbolic exchange. I'll charge you one hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones per Blood Bodhi!"

"Pfft!!"

Zi Yuan almost spat out a mouthful of blood, realizing how truly wicked Qin Feng was.

He spoke of humanitarianism, but his heart was full of business!

"I, I don't have any spirit stones!" The white-clothed woman looked troubled; she was genuinely penniless.

"It's okay if you don't have money, we can talk about resources!"

Qin Feng smiled and took out his little notebook, believing that a great demon that could transform must have some possessions.

For example, where heavenly treasures grew, where powerful ancient ruins were located, and who had shameful secrets...

"This..."

The white-clothed woman still looked very distressed, having no resources to speak of as Qin Feng mentioned.

"Good heavens, I've seen poor people, but I've never seen a great demon as poor as you!"

Qin Feng was completely convinced, not knowing how she had managed to transform into a great demon.

Just then--

A startled cry echoed from the distance, "We've found Lin San! And they've discovered an incredibly powerful treasure!!"

"Found so quickly!"

Qin Feng's eyes lit up, and he quickly pulled Zi Yuan along.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but glance back at the woman in white. Seeing the confusion in her eyes about the future and the self-blame of a mother, he ultimately couldn't resist and tossed her a small parcel.

It wasn't his "villainous soul" awakening; it was his villainous intuition telling him there was profit to be made.

"This is..."

The woman in white opened the small parcel, her face filled with surprise. Inside were numerous Blood Bodhi, not the ten she had mentioned. Qin Feng had given her fifteen.

The extra five would allow her to recover her vitality much faster.

"Thank you!"

The woman in white thanked Qin Feng in the direction he had left, then happily turned and quickly departed the ruins.

"You just gave it to her like that!?" Zi Yuan asked, a little confused.

"Consider it building good karma!"

Qin Feng didn't offer much explanation. Even if a transformed Great Demon was poor, his terrifying strength remained. Rather than adding flowers to an already blooming bouquet, it was better to offer charcoal in the snow.

Perhaps, one day in the future, this good deed might save his life.

Not long after--

Qin Feng followed the crowd and found Lin San.

He was currently surrounded by a group of people. Not far behind him was a stone platform with a barrier, upon which rested an exquisitely carved jade box.

It was obvious at a glance that the treasure inside was the most valuable in the ruins and Lin San's ultimate goal for coming here.

"Looks like I can't take it out!"

Qin Feng tried using his remote retrieval skill, but his cultivation was too low to penetrate the barrier and retrieve the jade box.

"Damn it!!"

Seeing the growing crowd, Lin San was incredibly frustrated.

Originally, with the advantage of the map, he had easily plundered all the treasures in the ruins. All he needed to do was break this barrier, obtain the final treasure, and then he could retreat with his spoils.

But someone, likely out of sheer malice, had spread the word, mobilizing the entire ruin to search for him. Just as he was about to break the barrier, he was discovered. Now, taking it all for himself was clearly impossible.

Even if he used all his trump cards, he couldn't defeat so many cultivators at the Spirit Martial Realm and Dao Entry Realm. He could only rely on strategy.

"Lin San, this treasure is not meant for you!"

Dozens of Dao Entry cultivators, noticing that no one from Heavenly Heart City was present, descended on their flying swords and arrogantly told Lin San to leave wisely.

"Then you all can do as you please!"

Lin San said no more, silently stepping aside.

Something's not right!

When did the Son of Destiny become so agreeable!?

Based on his ten years of reading webnovels, when the Son of Destiny has his prize snatched away, if he doesn't react strongly, it usually means someone is about to have a very bad day.

Qin Feng frowned, sensing that this was no simple matter. He pulled Zi Yuan and quietly retreated behind the crowd...
