Kevin Peter's demise started from a tiny pendant that he found in their attic that turned his whole life upside down. He frequently hears scratching on the walls, footsteps that keeps him up all night and whispers that he cannot decipher their meanings. Until one day, he and his twin brother gathered all the courage to face this problem of his.

(Note: This is a Chinese translate novel)

When Lu Mingfei was applying for a foreign university, he received an invitation letter from Cassel College, a private university in the outer suburbs of Chicago. Under the call of mystery, under the choice of love and dream, he resolutely chose the unknown future. Black helicopters flew across the sky, the gate of a strange country was slowly opened to him: The door of becoming a dragon slayer.

Another name for this novel is:
Dragon's Raja

"Let me get another savory tofu pudding!"
"I'll get another sweet tofu pudding!"
One voice erupted after another, all filled with excitement and anticipation.
"I… I'll also get another savory tofu pudding…" Before Dracula knew it, he had licked his bowl clean, and he raised his arm in a sheepish manner to ask for more.
"Bring me another sweet tofu pudding!" Jinx had also devoured his tofu pudding, but he wasn't ashamed in the slightest to ask for seconds.
"Please wait for a moment." Yabemiya answered everyone's requests while clearing away the bowls on the tables with Sally's help.
"Uncle Bat, didn't you say that you wouldn't eat food cooked by a human even if you were to starve to death here?" Amy turned to Dracula with a curious expression.
Everyone also turned to him with mockery in their eyes. After all, he and Jinx were the ones who had protested against eating the dish the most vehemently.
"Um… That's… because as a vampire, it's imperative for us to adapt to different environments and foods for survival." Dracula coughed with an awkward expression. He turned to look at Mag, and his eyes lit up. A confident smile appeared on his face as he continued, "Also, for us vampires, blood and brains are all foods that can replenish our energy. This tofu pudding is made from brains, so it suits my tastes. I would never eat any vegetables."
"My apologies, but the tofu pudding isn't actually made from brains. Instead, it's made from soybean, so it's still vegetable-based." Mag returned Dracula's confident smile with a smile of his own.
"H… How is that possible?! It clearly feels like brains, and it's even more delicious than brains! How can it be made from vegetables?!"
Dracula's smile stiffened, and he glared at Mag as he sprang up from his seat. He felt as if his intelligence were being insulted.
"Exactly! This tofu pudding tastes even softer and smoother than the brains I've had in the past. How can this possibly have been made from soybean? You're not messing with us, are you?" Gustav was also in disbelief.
"The tofu pudding is most definitely made from soybean, with no added meat or brains. We are an honest establishment, and we never lie to our customers," Mag replied with a calm smile. Chinese dish names were extremely diverse, so not all names could be interpreted based on their literal meanings.
"It's over! I've eaten vegetables again!" Dracula slumped back into his seat, and stared at the bowl in front of him that had been licked clean as he murmured to himself, "I didn't even notice; I thought it tasted great, and wanted a second bowl… Am I no longer a pure vampire?"
"I don't care what it's made from; as long as it tastes good, it's fine. Hurry up and get me another sweet tofu pudding; this is absolutely delicious!" Tauros slapped his leg with a nonchalant expression.
Dracula abruptly raised his head and turned to Tauros. "Even though this vegetable-based dish has severely dented my confidence, I must say something. Shouldn't tofu pudding be eaten as a savory dish? How can you add sugar to something so soft and smooth? That's unimaginable!" 
"Bullsh*t! Tofu pudding should be sweet! Otherwise, it's not real tofu pudding. The sweet flavor coupled with its exquisite texture makes an irresistible combo! Dracula, even though we're both demons, what you said just now is going too far!" Gustav glowered at Dracula with an enraged expression.
"This tofu pudding is slightly sweet in itself, so the savory juices and other ingredients complement it perfectly. Only by combining those flavors can the consumer experience the true taste of the tofu pudding. If you scoop sweet syrup mindlessly over the tofu pudding, then it'll mask the pudding's flavor, making it a lot less delicious." Fox put down his spoon, and looked at Gustav and Tauros with a serious expression as he said, "Tofu pudding should be eaten as a savory dish!"
"Fox, you're still as ugly as ever, but I suddenly don't mind looking at you now. Indeed, I must agree with your opinion on savory tofu pudding." Dracula looked at Fox and nodded in approval.
"Sweet tofu pudding is the best!" Jinx yelled. He then turned to Havid, and asked, "What do you think, Havid?"
Havid looked down into his bowl, and he was just about to give a reply.
"Remember that I'm paying for the table and chair that you destroyed," Jinx added.
Havid's eyes widened with rage. He didn't think that Jinx could be so shameless.
"Don't worry, Havid, tell us what you really think. I'll lend you the money!" Dracula came to his rescue.
"Of course the savory tofu pudding is the best!" Havid immediately offered his opinion on the matter. He turned to Dracula, and nodded as he said, "I'll be sure to repay you, Dracula."
"Sweet…"
"Savory…"
The two parties were instantly split into sweet and savory factions. The giant dragons and demons were no longer fighting for their respective races. Instead, they had found allies in former enemies, and were fighting over tofu pudding instead.
Could it be that this was Mag's plan to break the impasse? Michael glanced at the arguing representatives before turning to Mag with a perplexed look.
He had hosted many conferences of this nature, and from his previous experience, no definitive result could be reached without at least 10 days of negotiations. That was why he had chosen Mamy Restaurant as the conference venue. He wanted to see if Mag's delicious food could act as a catalyst to speed up this process.
Now, the negotiations had been completely derailed, and everyone was fighting over tofu pudding instead. If the old guys from their respective races were to hear about this, they would probably be fuming with rage.
Mag merely looked on with a smile as if everything was going according to plan. He was well aware of Michael's intentions. As such, if he wanted to secure the plot of land in front of the restaurant as an outdoor dining area, he had to resolve the conference as quickly as possible.
The dragon and demon species were quite comparable in power, so under normal circumstances, the conference could drag on for days on end. As such, he had to think of some special tactics to avoid such a lengthy process.
"Uncle Bat, you were just arguing with the dragons not long ago, but now, you're arguing with your own teammates; whose side are you on anyway?" Amy asked with a curious expression.
Everyone suddenly fell silent upon hearing that. They looked at the people sitting across them, then at their own brethren, and peculiar expressions appeared on their faces.
Yabemiya emerged from the kitchen with a platter of tofu pudding and placed the bowls in front of everyone, but no one dug in right away.
"We've been united by this tofu pudding, so it shows that we are capable of agreeing on some matters. As such, I think we should make this conference more straightforward, and cut straight to the chase. All of the other nonsense can be skipped, so we can discuss the matter about the island in question rather than continue to hurl insults at one another." Dracula broke the silence first, and he picked up his spoon as he said, "Of course, all that will have to wait until I finish this bowl of savory tofu pudding."


In Chaos City on the Norland Continent, there is a strange restaurant.

Here, elves and dwarves share tables. Beastmen are prohibited from making a din, and giant dragons can only seat around the tiny square in front of the restaurant. Even demons have to bring their own stools…

But it is such a strange restaurant that has long lines outside every day.

Elves are stuffing kebabs, paying no mind to their manners; giant dragons are sitting around a hot pot, strainers in their hands; demons are eating nice-looking dango…

"There's no other place on this continent where you can find food like that! The boss here is a genius!" a customer provides such a review. Then, he gives a furtive look at the door. "Also, don't you think of kidnapping the boss away or dine-and-dashing, or you will suffer a tragic death."

"Eat, pay, or you will be beaten to death." says a cute little girl in her childish voice as she trots forward. A five-meter tall dragon shivers when it meets her eyes.

Whether or not 52 Hertz really did feel lonely was something that had always been argued over. A large proportion of people were more inclined to believe that it could feel loneliness; after all, whales had a certain level of intelligence and were considered social animals.
Scientists and oceanic enthusiasts had also tried to find 52 Hertz, wanting to see it in real life by playing sounds with a frequency around 52 Hertz in the water it often appeared in. The hope was to attract it to them.
Their effort was not successful; after all, the Pacific Ocean was really vast, and 52 Hertz was too mysterious. How easy was it to wait in the grass for the rabbit? When the limited funds were used up, they had to go home and give up for the time being.
Despite that, the method they were using was likely correct. When 52 Hertz, who was born to be single, heard a similar voice to its own, it was likely to approach it out of curiosity even if it did not understand the content of the voice.
52 Hertz had actually appeared in the open sea in Binhai City, and Sihwa could communicate with whales… The opportunity was hard to come by. As long as Sihwa learned its language, she could reply to its call.
Since Sihwa wanted to know how to help it, Zhang Zian explained his idea in detail.
"But this is just an artificial response. The truth is that another mixed-blood whale like it does not exist. Even if Sihwa could communicate with the whale, she still wasn't a whale." Fina exposed the gaps in Zhang Zian's words without mercy. "It is just like you agreeing to a promise that would never come true. Without a doubt, this is tricking the whale."
Fina's pride made it accustomed to confronting everything directly. It disdained deception, which was not in line with its normal style.
Sihwa was originally ready to agree, but after she heard what Fina said, she could not help but hesitate. 52 Hertz was already very pitiful… It should not be hurt anymore.
"I don't agree with that. Truth is not always needed. Sometimes white lies are needed instead," Zhang Zian retorted, "Now 52 Hertz needs hope. If a lie can bring hope to it, then a lie may not be a bad thing… And who can confirm that in a few years or more, there won't be no other whale like it? In that case, a lie will no longer be a lie."
Old Time Tea, who lived a more rounded and flexible way of life, agreed. "Zian's words are logical. I deeply agree with him. Consoling oneself on false hopes might be derogatory, but it is not necessarily a bad thing to hope that a plum will quench your thirst or that drawing a cake will ease your hunger. No matter what happens in the future, at least it really managed to stop your thirst and ease your hunger at that moment. 52 Hertz has been thirsty and hungry for 30 years… Perhaps our lie would be able to ignite a sense of hope for it. It could keep it going for another 30 years."
Fina hmphed, but did not say anything to disagree with their opinions.
"Pi, what do you think?" Zhang Zian asked.
"Zhi zhi." Pi also nodded and agreed. It pointed at itself, then pointed at the computer keyboard outside, meaning to say, "If it could know earlier that it would one day be able to finish typing the whole Shakespearean series, it would definitely continue to type. It would be even more hopeful."
Sihwa saw that everyone was no longer objecting. She nodded and said, "All right, I know now… It's just that, can I learn its language?"
It was no wonder that she lacked the confidence. Before, she could understand the languages of other whales because she had been born in their world. Her ears had been full of whale songs, and a white whale had accompanied her around, so unconsciously she had managed to learn their language. This time, she had to deliberately go and learn it, and she did not have a lot of confidence that she could do it.
Ever since birth, it had been unable to communicate with the other whales. 52 Hertz was like a wild child that grew up in the mountains; no one taught it how to talk, so its whale song could be said to be something entirely of its own. Whether it was the way of speaking or the pronunciation, it was all very different from other whales, so learning its language would be very difficult.
"Don't worry," Zhang Zian encouraged her, picking up the fairy tale book that was placed to the side. "You have even learned what is said to be the world's most difficult language to learn: Chinese. What is 52 Hertz's language in comparison?"
Sihwa was shocked after hearing that. "Is Chinese really that hard to learn?"
"Of course, Chinese has been said to be the most difficult language to learn by UNESCO. Did you realize that? A single Chinese word has a lot of different meanings; a single tone has a lot of different meanings; a word has a lot of different meanings; and a sound has many words. It is just like a piece of paper––you can write on it, use it to wipe your buttocks, and fold a paper plane with it. It has many uses!" Zhang Zian's face was brimming with honeyed pride. "For example, if you hear someone saying a word 'gou,' you never know whether he saw a dog or wanted to recite a poem until you've seen which word it is."
Sihwa's facial expressions showed confusion while she listened to him.
For foreigners, Chinese was probably as unique and hard to understand as 52 Hertz's song.
"Ga ga! I have specifically come to inform you that you've gotten onto the shot list for next year. Please check and accept it!" Richard saw that everyone was staying on the second floor. They hadn't come down for a long time, so it flew up to join in on the excitement. It just so happened to hear Zhang Zian's pretentious words, so it instantly cracked down on them.
Zhang Zian gave a dry cough, then brought the topic back. "Ke! Anyway, just be at ease and learn. If you need any help, like needing more recordings, all you need to do is open your mouth. It's no big deal. I'll just go record more sounds."
"When it comes to learning a language, no one is better at that than me. I'm willing to provide you with all the tricks from the numerous language that I have accumulated free of charge––as long as after you have learned the whale's language, you teach it to me," Richard flapped its wings and called out.
Not being able to learn Pi's sign language was one thing, but it had always been dissatisfied that it could not understand whale language, so it took the opportunity to make the request.
"What kind of know-how? Say it out for us to hear." Zhang Zian, upon hearing that, was quite curious; after all, it was not bad to have more abilities. If he could learn some useful tricks, if the pet shop collapsed one day, then he could still go to New Oriental to be a teacher…
Richard jauntily called out, "Ga ga! The trick is––if you can't die while you are learning, then you must learn until you die!"
Zhang Zian, "…Are you sure this is not some closed high school slogan of a closed Militarization Organization?"
Fina looked across them, then coldly spit out, "Noisy!"
Zhang Zian and Richard shut their mouths at the same time, both not willing to admit defeat as they glared at each other. They wished they could use their glares to kill the other.
"All right, I will try my best to learn," Sihwa nodded and said. Her voice was not loud, but it was more firm than normal.
It was the first time that she had a strong determination not for herself, but for other lives besides her own. She did not bargain with Zhang Zian; she was purely selfless. She could not get anything in return from 52 Hertz, and she had to use time that she could spend playing on her phone to learn a new whale language. That was something that would have been unthinkable to her before now.
She seemed to see a shadow of herself from 52 Hertz: They were both so lonely, and both so misunderstood.
She wanted to help it, just like she hoped that someone would help her.

  Accessing Lore Selecting  Origins of the Fire-Breathing Beast by Ian Harvey]

+ From ancient Greek myths to Game of Thrones, the legend of the dragon is one of the most enduring and romanticized throughout history. It has been traced back as far as 4000 BC and exists in all parts of the world. In and around Europe dragons are viewed mostly as monsters of evil intent. In ancient Rome, the army used dragons as symbols of strength. During the Renaissance, fear of sea monsters kept sailors from venturing too far from known waters, and the edges of their maps would read "Here be dragons."


+ The etymology of the word dragon, which it says entered the English lexicon in around 1220 and was used in English versions of the Bible from the early 14th century. Dragon derives from Old French, the language used by nobles and law courts following the Norman conquest of 1066. This, in turn, stems from the Latin draconem or Draco meaning "big serpent," which was derived from ancient Greek δράκων (drakon).


+ In Greek mythology, the Hesperian Dragon named Ladon was a hundred-headed serpent that guarded the golden apples in the garden of the Hesperides. Historically, European dragons were viewed as being evil, jealous, and greedy hoarders of treasure. In the stories, they were generally treated as violent monsters who must be slain by heroes and saints. European dragons could have four legs, two legs, or none, and often had wings.


+ In Asia, and especially China, the view of these creatures was very different. Dragons were thought to live under the ocean in the winter, arising in the spring with a clap of thunder to bring the rain needed for their crops, according to the American Museum of Natural History. They breathed clouds and moved the seasons. The dragon was the symbol of the Chinese Emperor, and the Imperial throne was called the Dragon Throne. Known as the Dragon, the emperor ruled in harmony and brought peace and prosperity to all.


+ Chinese dragons are depicted as being more serpent-like, with long, snaking bodies and usually had four legs. They are generally seen as wingless. How people view them and what they believe about them varies widely, but the idea is too widespread not to think there are some common roots.


+ Ancient Origins discusses a number of potential roots. The first one is crocodiles. Saltwater and Nile crocodiles are the two largest living reptiles on earth today. Currently, saltwater crocodiles live in the eastern Indian Ocean region, and Nile crocs in the rivers, marshes, and lakes of Sub-Saharan Africa. But 1,000 years they had a much larger habitat range and could have been encountered by people living in Greece, Spain, and Southern Italy.

 Back to Lore Selecting The Dragon in Ancient China by Mark Cartwright]

+ Dragons appear in the mythology of many ancient cultures but nowhere else in the world was the creature quite so revered as in China. There, in marked contrast to other world mythologies, the dragon was almost always seen in a positive light and particularly associated with life-giving rains and water sources. Considered the most auspicious year sign, worn on the robes of emperors, depicted in the most precious materials from gold jewelry to jade figurines, and with countless references in literature and the performing arts, the dragon was everywhere in ancient China and looms as large today in the Chinese psyche as ever.


+ One of the earliest creatures to appear in the tales and legends of ancient China, the dragon is most often depicted as a giant and lithe beast which dwells in either water sources or clouds.


+ The Chinese dragon is extraordinarily powerful, and when it flies, it is usually accompanied by lightning and thunder. When, by whom, and on what reality the dragon was first invented is not known, although some historians suggest a link with rainbows and a 'serpent of the sky' which is seen after rain showers or at waterfalls. Carved jade dragons have been excavated at sites of the Hongshan culture, which can be dated to 4500-3000 BCE, far before any written records of the creature appeared. The historian R. Dawson gives the following description of the Chinese dragon's physical attributes.


+ Alternative descriptions give similar attributes but sometimes with the body of a snake, the eyes of a rabbit, the belly of a frog, and the antlers of a deer. Other qualities of the dragon were that it could change its shape and size at will and disappear or reappear wherever it wished.


+ The Chinese scholar Wen Yiduo suggested that this fantastic collection of beastly parts was actually based on the political union of several different tribes, each with a different animal as their totem. The dragon was, therefore, a symbolic representation of the assimilation of these tribes into a single nation. An interesting hypothesis, it does not, however, explain the appearance of dragons long before any such political associations existed in early Chinese communities.


+ Despite the dragon's fearsome aspect it was not usually seen as the bad-intentioned monster that inhabits the myths of other cultures around the world where it is typically slain by a brave hero figure. Indeed, in China, the dragon was and is regarded as being a just and benevolent creature.


+ It is for this reason they became associated with rulership and especially the emperors of China who, in their capacity as the holders of the Mandate of Heaven and as God's representative on earth, must always rule in a just and impartial manner for the good of all their subjects.

  Accessing Myths Selecting Dragons And Dragon Kings In Ancient Mythology]


+ We encounter dragons in almost every ancient culture of the world. Dragons played an important role in the beliefs of our ancestors and these creatures were depicted in a variety of ways.


+ Dragons can be placed in two groups- East and West dragons, and they were regarded as either good or very fearsome and evil creatures. In ancient China, the dragon was a highly significant creature that became a symbol of the Emperor and his throne was sometimes called the Dragon Throne.  Ancient Chinese believed dragons were in control the weather and water. These creatures were said to be able to manipulate oceans, floods, tornadoes, and storms.


+ There are nine distinctive Chinese dragons and some of them are serpent-like creatures with large bodies and long heads. The dragon in China is believed to be a benign creature that is said to bring wisdom, power, and luck. They are famous for their goodness and to ward off evil, protect the innocent and bring safety to all. Tradition and celebration of New Year in China can be traced to a dragon named Nien (or "year").


+ Nien was a legendary wild beast that attacked people at the end of the old year. Villagers would use loud noises and bright lights to scare the creature away, a practice that slowly morphed into the Chinese New Year festivities. Today the dragon has its own year on the Chinese calendar. On the British Isles and in Scandinavia, dragons were often depicted as wingless creatures. In this part of the world, the dragon was depicted as a more malevolent creature that was very difficult to kill. The West dragon was wingless and lived in dark places or wells where he was guarding hoard treasures. Approaching the dragon was almost impossible because of its poisonous fire breath. Dragons in British and Scandinavian mythology often appear in stories when a prince tries to save a young maiden from being abducted by the fearsome animal. 


+ If he can slay the dragon, he can become the new King and win the girl as his bride.n ancient Chinese mythology we encounter five enormous dragon kings who were rainmakers and rulers of the waters. Four of them were stationed at the cardinal points and ruled the seas. Their chief had his abode in the middle. The five dragon kings were named Lung Wang. The dragon kings of China lived in crystal palaces under the sea. 


+It was believed these underwater dwellings were part of the mysterious Underworld that could only be reached through underground mountain caves and special secret entrances. When the Water Dragons rose to the surface the caused typhoons and when they flew through the air caused heavy raining and hurricanes. The Dragon Kings are among the deified forces of nature of the Taoist religion. A dragon's head was one of the most famous symbols of the Vikings. 


+The Viking dragon was in many ways a representation of the Midgard Serpent, a mythical sea creature who fought with the Norse god, Thor. The reason why Vikings built ships with huge dragonheads was that they wanted to appear as frightening as possible from a long distance. Vikings called their longships "Drakkar" or dragon ships and the dragon was a powerful and fearsome symbol of war.


+ Many have seen the Welsh flag features a red dragon and that the Prince of Wales uses rampant dragons on his banner. The old British word "draig," meant leader, and the word, "pen," meant head. The two words combined to form Pendragon or Pen Draig, a noble surname in early Britain as early as the fifth century. The dragon symbol continued to be used by the last native Welsh princes of Wales, Llewelyn ap Gruffydd, and Owain Glyndwr, during their struggles against English occupation in the 14th and 15th centuries.


+ The Pendragon name in Welsh literature includes Uther Pendragon, father of the legendary King Arthur.

Computer interpreting mythological creatures. After that creates or tells small stories on them. This is mostly for fun I hope you can forgive me I do not think this would be interesting to most people but please give it a try.

Old Yan was a typical representative of the people who liked watching the fun. If Old Gu still worried if Yang Shuxin was well prepared, Old Yan became happier when he got to know Yang Shuxin and Yuan Zhou would sculpt their own Nine Dragon Sculpture respectively in a competing way. 
"There'll be a good show to enjoy," Old Yan muttered in a low voice. 
Anyway, the ice sculpting started. 
Yang Shuxin had a complete range of carving knives in various models and even the rasps used for polishing. All the tools were placed in a row, which gave people a sense of professionalism. 
On the contrary, Yuan Zhou had only one ordinary kitchen knife in his hand. On the aspect of professionalism, he was a little inferior, but actually, he wasn't defeated at all. His confident demeanor was as if to say "With the kitchen knife in my hand, I can take control of the whole world." 
The carving knife emitted a sound of "Ca Ca" when it flashed across the ice block. Yang Shuxin had started. It was a good-sized carving knife in his hand. He was going to sculpt out the rough contour of the dragons first. 
He got started quickly and boldly. Not long after that, the square ice block turned into an odd irregular polygonal shape.
Of course, it was of odd shape now as Yang Shuxin hadn't started to sculpt the details. With a slight movement of his hand, Yang Shuxin had replaced the good-sized carving knife with a medium-sized carving knife swiftly. The whole course of actions looked as natural and smooth as the floating clouds and flowing water. 
Even the surrounding customers who supported Yuan Zhou couldn't help highly praising the swift action of changing knives. God knows how many years he had practiced to make it appear so smooth and natural. 
Yang Shuxin gradually entered a concentrated state. And naturally, Yuan Zhou was unlikely to stare blankly at him. He also started to sculpt. 
The distinction between an experienced person and an inexperienced one was greater than that between an academic person and an ordinary person, just like Yuan Zhou and Yang Shuxin. 
Yang Shuxin first started with the rough contour of the entire sculpture while Yuan Zhou just began to sculpt the dragons one by one. 
The kitchen knife in his hand was like a silver butterfly that gleamed with a cold light. With its wings flapping for a few times in the air, a long body of the Chinese dragon gradually took shape. 
Everything was going well for both sides, especially with Yang Shuxin. The start was even better than ever. 
"My teacher might actually be able to complete the Nine Dragon Sculpture alone this time." Little Feng was longing for this result at the side. 
"But what exactly is Master Yuan sculpting?" Little Feng looked at Yuan Zhou's ice block and felt he could no longer understand him. If there had been a contour of the dragon, the body of the dragon looked as if it had been cut off now. 
Although the Nine Dragon Sculpture could be nine Chinese dragons in various forms, a broken one was hardly justifiable, as it was way too inauspicious. 
Little Feng was an assistant in name, but he had also learned under Yang Shuxin for many years. Even so, however, he had never seen anybody sculpt in this way. 
That was really a mystery.
As the minutes ticked by, the onlookers were much quieter. However, the number of people didn't become less, but instead, tended to become more and more. 
Some onlookers left, but more joined, just like the mischievous kid who hadn't filmed anything valuable last time. And because of the strict regulations of the Education Bureau, teachers give less homework now than before, which resulted in a lower turnover in the homework business and the tottering of the secondary market. 
It was a competition of sculpting skills today. He could shoot a long film and then split it up before posting it to his live stream, episode by episode. This way, he could get donations from his audiences and earn some money. 
"Teachers are giving less homework, the market is shrinking and the demand is decreasing. So I must film the video very well this time so I can earn some money. When I withdraw the donated money out of my account, I'm going to open up the market to Grade 1 and Grade 3 of the middle schools. Based on the homework that doesn't require thinking but only writing and writing, I will try to open up the third market. In this way, there will be no slow-moving resources and I can build a simulation that completely avoids the NET system." The mischievous kid muttered some technical terms excitedly. 
One hour passed very soon while the mischievous kid was filming the video and the onlookers were watching the fun. By then, the two ice blocks had already taken on the quality of artworks. 
Speaking of Yang Shuxin's sculpture, the bodies of the nine Chinese dragons had all appeared in the eyes of the onlookers. And the sculpting work of the dragon scales had also been finished on four of the nine Chinese dragons. The progress was really gratifying. 
"Shuxin has really exerted himself to sculpt today." Old Gu couldn't help sighing. 
Old Yan nodded his head, "Flying Dragon, Ascending Dragon, In-Cloud Dragon, Coiling Dragon, Curling Dragon, Crouching Dragon, Combating Dragon, Soaring Dragon and finally, the River-Stirring Dragon. None of them is identical. Such a Nine Dragon Sculpture is really of true value." 
From the perspective of the dragon shapes sculpted by Yang Shuxin, the sculpture was simply a dazzling light in most people's eyes, just as mentioned before. Fundamentally speaking, there were only five basic dragon shapes and others were all derived from them. 
Just like the River-Stirring Dragon. On the bottom of the sculpture was a river. The dragon hid its tail in the river and flew up with its head exposed to the air. It was actually the combination of both the Ascending Dragon and Soaring Dragon. 
Most people could understand the difficulties even just by thinking about it. The Nine Dragon Sculpture originally wasn't easy to sculpt, let alone nine dragons in different forms. On Yang Shuxin's Nine Dragon Sculpture, the bottom part was the river while the upper part was the sky and Longpan Mountain. The contents were abundant but not messy. 
"Little Boss Yuan's sculpture is a little difficult to understand," said Old Yan, "But I have to say the head of the Chinese dragon is really nice. It really requires genuine capabilities to be able to sculpt such a complicated and vivid head of Chinese dragon." 
As an inexperienced sculptor, Yuan Zhou started to sculpt the dragon head after he finished the dragon body halfway. 
There were many varieties of dragons in the Chinese legend, like Ying Dragon, Wang Dragon or even Pan Dragon. But actually, the dragons in the Nine Dragon Sculpture were all Xing Dragons. Like the old saying, "The snake evolves into Jiao[1] after it lives for one thousand years; Jiao evolves into Dragons after one thousand years; and Dragons evolves into Xing Dragons after another one thousand years. 
Neither Yang Shuxin or Yuan Zhou spent time and energy on the varieties of the Chinese dragons. So it was also a difficult job to sculpt out the differences between the nine dragons. 
Yang Shuxin used a very ordinary method, which had been used in almost all multi-dragon sculptures. The dragons were differentiated by the eyes, dragon horns and, sizes. For example, the double dragons on the ornamental pillars in the Imperial Palace. They were different in their eyes and sizes. 
When Yuan Zhou thought about this matter yesterday, he felt people seemed to be unable to tell the differences if they didn't observe it carefully. Therefore, Yuan Zhou decided to change another way. 
That was through emotions, including happiness, anger, sorrow, delight, anxiety, longing, sadness, terror, and astonishment. 
Nine emotions. That was right. Of the nine Chinese dragons sculpted by Yuan Zhou, their eyes, dragon horns or sizes were all the same. The only difference was the emotions of the dragons. 
The most common emotion evoked by Chinese dragons was majestic. Nothing else. But Yuan Zhou just wanted to add emotions in the eyes of the dragons. 
So Yuan Zhou's Nine Dragon Sculpture could be considered as Nine Cloud Dragon Lines, or more specifically, A Dragon In The Clouds That Turned Into Nine Dragons. 
Just because they were far from the sculpture and couldn't see it clearly, Old Gu, Old Yan, and other onlookers found it hard to understand. If they stayed closer, they could nevertheless see the emotions in the eyes of the three dragons that were being sculpted. 
For example, one of the dragons had extraordinarily protruding brow ridges; the eyes were big and vigorous; the teeth were slightly open; and the dragon's whiskers moving by itself. That was anger. 
And for the next one, the mouth was a little more curved. That was happiness. 
It had to be admitted that all the nine emotions of the dragons were very hard to tell if they were true or not. The Chinese dragon itself was a fiction, no one had ever seen any. Nor could they imagine what it looked like when it smiled. 
The only disadvantage was that he must imagine all of them alone without any reference. However, everything had two sides. 
If nobody had ever imagined that, Yuan Zhou could do whatever he wanted to create one. 
Nine forms of dragons. Anyhow, Yuan Zhou stayed up all night yesterday once in a blue moon and did nothing but watch Animal World. 
All in all, Yuan Zhou did his utmost today in order to defeat Yang Shuxin.

In a remote oriental country, there is a small and odd restaurant that has refused the three-star rating by the Michelin Guide several times. 
“The price is fairly expensive over there, 288RMB for a set meal of Egg Fried Rice and a bowl of soup. Ah, and an extra small plate of pickled vegetables as well. Even so, there are still a long line of people queuing up and waiting for a taste. Reservations are not accepted there, only waiting and queuing personally is allowed. 
“Numerous people fly there on their private planes just to queue up. Furthermore, parking bays and parking spots are not provided there. The service is terrible here. Customers have to clear the tableware themselves and wipe the table as well. For god’s sake, the boss is literally crazy.”

Over at Great Qin, the rainbow-colored pillar of light gave off an enormous aura as it stood between the heavens and earth.
Countless traces of Fate continuously gathered, forming a massive vortex that covered the entire sky. From the distance, it could be seen that all of Great Qin was covered by a haze.
An extremely terrifying aura spread out from the sky, and the sense of crisis that the other Chinese people felt became even more intense. They felt as if they were about to fall off a cliff; their bodies became stiff, and their blood seemed to become cold.
At that moment, traces of Fate rose up from the ground all over China, flying towards Great Qin.
The vortex above Great Qin became larger and larger, and it began to slowly descend as if it was going to fall to the ground. An immense aura of suppression shook the surroundings, causing the scene to feel quite oppressive. The air seemed to have frozen, making people feel quite uncomfortable.
Now, the entirety of China seemed to be covered by a thick haze, and the terrifying aura could be felt everywhere as if the sky was going to fall down. The people from the other Continents looked over and could not help but feel shocked.
Back when Great Qin had refined India's Clan Armament, there had not been such terrifying abnormal signs. This was because this was China's Clan Armament, and China was currently the center of the world. It was understandable just how powerful China's Nation Armament was; it was not something India's Clan Armament could compare to.
Boom!
A shocking explosion sounded out as the Imperial Ruler's Seal within the rainbow-colored pillar of light violently shook before giving off an incredibly powerful aura. This aura was incredibly ancient and dense, and it gave off the pure aura of China.
The pillar of light gradually dissipated as the Imperial Ruler's Seal gave off boundless golden light. All of the Fate in the sky and all of the Fate on the ground formed two streams, one descending from the sky and one rising from the ground, entering the Imperial Ruler's Seal.
The Imperial Ruler's Seal absorbed a large amount of Fate, and the Fate in the surroundings started to liquify before solidifying into crystals, surrounding the Imperial Ruler's Seal and forming a crystal ball that continuously grew.
This was now the most important step of the refining, and at this moment, the Chinese factions started to act.
"Roarrrr!!" Dragon's cries sounded out throughout the sky. From other Continents, people could see different-colored pillars of light standing between the sky and the ground in China. There were also massive dragons in the sky, giving off heaven-shaking auras, creating an awe-inspiring scene.
All of the Dynasty Legatees, State Legatees and some other factions all exploded out with their Fate, trying to disrupt Great Qin and prevent it from refining the Clan Armament, or else they were doomed.
The commoners all cried out, "Great Qin is tyrannical and evil. With how villainous it is and how poorly it treats people, we will never submit to Great Qin…"
Their voices were incredibly loud and shook the heavens and the earth, sounding out throughout all of China.
Just this alone started to cause some changes. The Imperial Ruler's Seal within the crystal ball had been quite silent, but feeling every Chinese person's will, it started to tremble. A golden flame appeared as nine small golden dragons appeared around it.
Crack!!
A clear cracking sound could be heard as a crack appeared on the crystal ball in the sky, causing Zhao Fu's expression to change. He found that the Imperial Ruler's Seal was resisting, and even though it acknowledged Great Qin, it belonged to all of China.
Zhao Fu coldly harrumphed and rose to the sky, exploding out with a powerful aura. A black flame appeared around him as he pressed his hand against the crystal ball, sending his own Fate into the crystal ball.
Sensing Zhao Fu's Fate flowing in, the shaking Imperial Ruler's Seal once again quietened down and its resistance weakened. The crack on the crystal ball slowly repaired itself as well.
This caused the Chinese factions to feel quite startled. They did not hesitate and exploded out with their own Fates and invigorated their Legacies' power.
"Roarrrr!!" the countless dragons roared, giving off unyielding wills. They rushed into the sky, and the Chinese people, sensing that burning bloodline was growing cold, continued to loudly yell, saying that they would resist Great Qin to the death.
Traces of Fate rose up from the Chinese people's bodies, flying into the sky and fusing with the Legacy factions' Fates. They formed a massive will that seemed to reign over the heavens and earth, flowing towards the crystal all.
"Roarrr…." Feeling this will, the Imperial Ruler's Seal once again gave off a powerful aura, and it once again shined with blinding golden light. Cracks appeared on the crystal ball, and within it, the Imperial Ruler's Seal had become an orb of golden light with nine golden dragons circling around it.
At that moment, the Great World Refinement created by the Heaven and Earth Refining Formation started to slowly disappear. The Imperial Ruler's Seal had resisted Great Qin's refining; the Chinese people had succeeded.
Zhao Fu felt quite furious, and he took out his Great Qin Seal, which gave off a boundless black light. Nine black dragons appeared from it, and a booming voice sounded out in all of Great Qin subjects' ears, "All Great Qin subjects, gather Great Qin's Fate!"
Great Qin's subjects all reverently knelt down, and traces of Fate floated up from their bodies and fused into the Great Qin Seal. A supreme aura burst forth from the Great Qin Seal, and Zhao Fu pressed down on the crystal ball, sending this power into the Imperial Ruler's Seal.
The Imperial Ruler's Seal's resistance once again decreased, while the Chinese side continued to vigorously resist. The Dynasty Legatees went all out in trying to resist Great Qin's will, and the countless Chinese people continued to yell.
The Buddhist Sect, School of Confucianism, and School of Mohism activated their formations, gathering vital energy in the heavens and earth that fused with the will that everyone else had created, strengthening the will as it entered the Imperial Ruler's Seal.
Boom!!
The Imperial Ruler's Seal once again gave off an even greater golden light, and its aura was incredibly intense. The nine golden dragons roared at Zhao Fu, forcing Zhao Fu to take a step back. The crystal ball cracked even more, and it seemed that if it cracked a bit more, it would collapse.
If this crystal ball was destroyed, the refining would naturally fail.
At that moment, the Imperial Ruler's Seal's resistance became too intense, and the nine golden dragons roared furiously at Zhao Fu. After all, the Imperial Ruler's Seal was China's Clan Armament, and it stood with the majority of China, which was opposed to Great Qin.
Bang!
An explosion sounded out as the cracked crystal ball finally shattered, and the abnormal signs caused by the Great World Refinement slowly disappeared.
Sensing these changes, the Chinese factions and people all cheered, yelling excitedly, "We defeated Great Qin! Great Qin really isn't this great; the Imperial Ruler's Seal stands with the rest of China, not Great Qin!"


“Ding! Soulbinding has been successfully completed; you will now head to the Heaven Awaken World.” After hearing this, Zhao Fu’s vision darkened as he fell to the ground.

With bleak prospects in the real world, Zhao Fu’s life is turned around when countless crystals fell from the sky one night, which people could use to enter an alternate, game-like world. After obtaining an ancient Chinese empire’s legacy, Zhao Fu uses his intellect and resourcefulness to develop his own empire from a tiny village. However, with enemies both in the real world and in the Heaven Awaken World, he must make brilliant decisions and use creative schemes to survive.

Su Cha spent her weekend finishing embroidery. The new week began in a blink.
Before she took morning classes, she looked at her auction product on the Pet Cat shopping site.
Apparently, as a nameless new seller, her shop and her T-shirt, priced 1000 yuan (around $140), were neither asked about nor viewed at.
Pet Cat shopping site showed the number of purchases and views. Before the product was sold, it could tell how many people had viewed it.
Not only did Pet Cat shopping site make a disappointing start, but also Su Cha's video flopped quickly on Meiyin. Except for a like from a stranger, it received no comment.
The video was destined to flop as no one had watched or commented throughout the night.
Su Cha did not lose faith. She believed that good things would not come easy. It would be unrealistic if everything went well from the start.
She went to school for class. Her headmaster He Qun carried a pile of exam papers into the classroom and put them on the platform the minute the class began. Many students started to moan.
"Class!"
He Qun cleared her throat and went on, "I've told you yesterday. Today is the last test to prepare you for the national college entrance exam. We'll test the main subjects today and the rest tomorrow. The papers are based on past exams and carefully composed by your teachers. They are very similar to the real ones. If you can score high this time, you can do so in the real exam this year! Commissary of Studies, come here and hand out the papers!"
Le Anqi complained about the papers in He Qun's hands, "Tests again!"
The senior students had been either reviewing their schoolwork or taking tests each day. Since it was the last test before the official exam, the students started to answer the questions attentively after they complained.
The test was not very serious. He Qun invigilated them from the platform, but she would not notice it if students copied from others from time to time. Most students respected the rules as the test was preparing them for the real exam. Even if they cheated now, they couldn't do so in the real one.
Many students understood this and concentrated on their own papers.
The first main subject was Chinese.
Su Cha scanned the papers. She was not good at Chinese in the past, but after she spent her last life in ancient times, she now felt familiar with the bookish sentences. The passages written in classical Chinese had especially become a piece of cake for Su Cha. She could understand the meanings of their themes and words easily.
Writing required time to work on a theme, which was a little difficult.
Other than that, Su Cha did not feel stressed about the Chinese papers.
Su Cha spent one and a half hours finishing the papers and the rest one-hour double-checking.
After they handed in the papers, Le Anqi complained, "It was hard. I couldn't understand the classical Chinese passage at the end…"
Su Cha felt her phone vibrating. She took it out and saw the message sent by Pet Cat Shopping Site.
[Meow. Hello, my store owner. We have a customer consulting now~]
The message told sellers who were offline that there were customers sending messages to the store.
Su Cha's personal store was in lack of online customer service. She could not apply for intelligent customer service at the moment, as it required a certain level of the seller.
Su Cha was startled by this message. She logged on the Pet Cat shopping site's app immediately.


The famous actress Su Cha was involved in a scandal! The leaked video had left the fans flabbergasted. 
Fans, "They look so cute together! Her boyfriend looks like an adorable puppy!"
However, the public, who had witnessed his muscular physique in the video clip, had a different opinion. 
"How is he a f*cking puppy! He's more like a ferocious hound!"
In Su Cha's eyes, Bo Muyi was a lovable man who was always demanding kisses and hugs. 
In the public's eyes, Bo Muyi was merely a loathsome and overbearing tyrant. 
Before her rebirth, the naive and innocent Su Cha departed that life in sorrow. 
After her rebirth, Su Cha turned into an absurdly talented, but violent and deviant woman. 
Not only that, she mollycoddled her husband dearly! 
(This is a story of a brutal and aberrant heroine who met a ruthless yet overly-affectionate hero.)
Side note: This is a story of the heroine's three, but not one, lifetimes.

If Li Shi Ying took interest in animals living in this world…
Wasn't that good? 
"Ohh so it's like that" Li Shi Ying nodded happily after knowing the species of those cute jellyfish. They were huge like a monster but somehow still adorable especially when they jumped around with those tentacles. 
"Mn" Long Ao Zhen casually responded. His attention was still on Li Shi Ying, unlike the girl who already turned around to watch the show again. This time the one performing were a bunch of sea dragon. 
They looked like a Chinese dragon but smaller in size and they live in the water. They couldn't fly but they could make a beautiful leapt with their long body. Since there were several of them, their collaboration created a beautiful view. 
The first sea dragon leapt out from the water forming a huge circle with its body and before it fell to the water, the second dragon leapt forming the same circle. It continues to the fifth dragon, creating a 'wave' of dragons. 
These dragons also had beautiful scales. The first dragon had a golden scale, the second had a red scale and the third had green scale but not as deep as Long Ao Zhen's scale colour. The fourth had purple scale and the last had a white scale. 
Whenever these five leapt, they always created a kind of illusion with their colourful scales. Their movement also followed the traditional Chinese music making the performance even better. 
Of course, each time they did attraction there would be a huge water splash coming to Li Shi Ying's direction but thanks to the barrier, Li Shi Ying didn't get wet at all. 
"These dragons are just like you, maybe the mini version* Li Shi Ying laughed as she watched the show. The girl turned around a bit to tease Long Ao Zhen and only then saw that the man was staring at her. 
"Me? I'm much cooler than them. They are also a dragon species but they can't take on a human form, unlike those citizens in our kingdom. They're pretty though that's why a lot of nobles take them as their pet" 
Long Ao Zhen harrumphed feeling embarrassed being compared to these sea dragons. Actually indeed, besides their size couldn't be compared to the real dragon, everything else these dragons had was the same as a real drag. 
No wonder Li Shi Ying said that the two of them were similar. 
"I see...I wonder if our children will be in the form of small dragons or human baby when they are born later" Li Shi Ying suddenly thought of something when she saw these dragons. If she got pregnant with Long Ao Zhen's seeds..
Then the children would possibly be a dragon, right? After all his gene should be stronger than her human gene so...what if when they were born they were in the shape of small Chinese dragons? 
Won't that...be bad for her? How the hell she took them out from her belly?! Shouldn't dragons give birth in form of eggs or something since they're literally lizards? 
"Hmmm if it was my mother, she gave birth in her dragon form so I was born in an egg form and after that, I broke the eggshell, came out as a small baby dragon until I was 3-4 years only then I'm able to take on a human form" 
Long Ao Zhen pondered over Li Shi Ying's question. This was indeed an important question as he too didn't know what their children would look like. He took on a human form when he was 4 years old and somehow his appearance was just determined from the start. 
It's weird how his mother had blonde hair and his father had black hair yet he ended up with dark green hair. Thinking again...his mother dragon form was a golden dragon while his father was a black jet dragon. 
There are a lot of black jet dragons in the kingdom but his father had distinguished scales. It would sparkle under the sunlight and would glow in silver light under the moonlight. 
That's the proof of him being a royalty. Even his grandfather also had the same trait. Just like himself also had sparkling scales under the sunlight. 
At first, he couldn't understand why he was so different from his father and mother but after knowing that this world as something based on a novel...anything impossible could be possible, right? 
At least his face was similar to his mother's beautiful face. That's how people knew he was indeed a royal family member. 
"I don't want to lay an egg!" Li Shi Ying's sudden scream made Long Ao Zhen snapped from his thought. He saw that the girl was puffing her cheeks refusing the possibility that her children might come from an egg. 
"Ughh right I can't imagine you giving birth to an egg...the egg should be big too maybe around 30 centimetres high and the diameter can be half the height" Long Ao Zhen laughed awkwardly. He didn't think of this problem before. 
What to do?? 
"Is there no way for my children to be born as human babies? Just make them born in a human dorm first and then later they can change into small dragons" 
Li Shi Ying tugged on Long Ao Zhen's sleeves with wronged expression. She didn't have the mood to watch the show anymore now. 
This problem is more important than anything! How could she give birth to a bunch of eggs? That's impossible ah!

Proofreader: Lilian

The next day after the preparations were completed, the elders invited Li Qiye to the Saint Cavern. Yu He personally became Li Qiye's chaperone to take him to the deepest location of the Nine Saint Demon Gate.

With Yu He's strength and cultivation, even in the entirety of Old Ox Country, he would be an influential powerhouse. However, he was now the chaperone of Li Qiye — no one would believe this even if rumors were to be spread.

At the end of the Nine Saint Demon Gate was a lone mountain, and under the mountain was a sealed cave. It was unknown how long the cave had been sealed for. This cave was covered with wild grass and mushrooms, and the front of the cave showed signs of being tested by time.

This was the forbidden zone of the Nine Saint Demon Gate, only elders and above could come here.

Legend states that although the Nine Saint Virtuous Paragon left behind his cultivation manuals for the sect, there were still certain treasures he stored in the cave. It goes on to say that because he feared that his descendants would be weak and vain, he created the Saint Cavern so that there would always be a chance for revival should the sect be destroyed.

One thing all the sect masters and elders were sure of, though, was that there existed at least one Immortal Emperor Life Treasure in there.

When Immortal Emperor Min Ren received the Heaven's Will, it was told that he gave the Nine Saint Virtuous Paragon an Immortal Emperor Life Treasure for his accomplishments as Min Ren's fate protector. However, the descendants of the Nine Saint Virtuous Paragon did not have it in their possession. This was why everyone believed that the treasure was located in the Saint Cavern.

The Immortal Emperor Life Treasure was a weapon that Min Ren personally created during his conquest of the Nine Worlds. This Life Treasure was many times stronger than even a Virtuous Paragon True Treasure.

Although this was not an Immortal Emperor True Treasure, a Life Treasure was enough to inspire greed from everyone and anyone. [1]

There were writings engraved on the side of the cave. The characters were radiant and alive in contrast to its surroundings.

Only Demon under the heavens — these words exerted a powerful and majestic atmosphere. Each vivid and vibrant word had its own spirit, highlighted by the impeccable penmanship. It was as if these heavenly words were ready to pierce the heavens at any moment like a flying dragon or dancing phoenix. Tested by the vicissitudes of time, the aura of the Virtuous Paragon remained even after many moons.

These words were left behind by the Nine Saint Virtuous Paragon himself. The descendants of the Nine Saint Demon Gate all believed that this was the key to opening the Saint Cavern.

To the left side was "Only Demon under the heavens", but the right side was left empty. That was why the descendants believed that if they could correctly match the wordplay on the left side, the cavern could be opened.

However, there were others who thought that the words "Only Demon under the heavens" was the real key. It hid untraceable mysterious truths. Each stroke involved supreme merit laws. As long as one could understand its meanings, they could open the cave by themselves.

Both of these predictions were tested by disciples throughout the ages. There was one disciple with very high innate aptitudes in the Nine Saint Demon Gate who cultivated next to these words in order to understand the true meanings. Another time, the sect master personally went to the mortal world; he found a peerless expert of literature, hoping that this person could write a matching prose to the right.

However, the cavern remained closed despite trying all of these methods throughout the years.

As for Li Qiye, after seeing the cavern and the words written to the left, he immediately knew how to open the cavern. However, because there were elders watching him, he couldn't immediately open it.

He stepped up to the wall, moving side to side. He randomly knocked on the walls, bent down to the ground, then dejectedly shook his head as if the answer was not where he thought it was. After a while, he focused on the words "Only Demon under the heavens."

Seeing Li Qiye's actions not bearing fruit made the elders restless. However, they didn't dare to say anything. They were all just holding their breaths while anxiously watching Li Qiye's every movement.

Eventually, Li Qiye sat in a meditative pose in front of the cave. Time slowly passed. From morning to noon and from noon to the fall of the sun in the west... The sun reddened the sky, but Li Qiye remained motionless.

Li Qiye meditating for a whole day made the elders lose their patience.

An elder spoke to himself: "Will he be successful?"

"Is this little devil just pretending?" Seeing that there was no connection between Li Qiye and the cave, their trust in him started to waver. Maybe his miracles with the Chaotic Heart Forest and the four Heavenly Guardians were just that — miracles.

"Hmmph, maybe he got lucky." This Elder didn't actually trust what he was saying. He knew Li Qiye had secrets, he was only voicing his dissatisfaction of having an outsider in their sacred ground.

When the elders were rambling among themselves, Li Qiye immediately stood up and said: "Pen and ink!" After having sat here for a whole day, his butt was in agonizing pain.

An elder brought him a calligraphy pen and a bottle of ink. Li Qiye then began to act mysteriously. He shook his head and lamented: "So that's how it is, that's how it is! The Nine Saint Virtuous Paragon is indeed unfathomable."

He then carefully dipped the pen into the ink while holding his sleeve gracefully and started writing on the right wall of the cave.

"Mere Chicken above the earth."

He was not an expert calligrapher, so he hastily wrote these words. They contained no aura at all in stark contrast to the words of the Virtuous Paragon.

"Only Demon under the heavens, Mere Chicken above the earth." [2]

The two lines had such conflicting meanings that they didn't mesh well together.

After Li Qiye was finished, the elders' faces went black because these words were simply dishonoring their patriarch. Li Qiye's words were not worthy to be paired with the phrase "Only Demon under the heavens."

An elder gave a deafening roar: "How bold, to shame our Nine Saint Demon Gate!"

Li Qiye glared at him and retorted: "You are only an ordinary cultivator, what do you know about the enigmatic meanings behind literature? You don't even know the thoughtfulness of your ancestor, yet you dare to stand there and scream?"

"You…" After hearing Li Qiye's response, the red-faced elder was ready to explode.

"Creak… creak… rumble..." Rumbles could be heard as the Saint Cavern started to open.

The elders rolled their eyes. They couldn't believe what they were seeing! How could the words "Mere Chicken above the earth" open the cave?

"How is this possible?"

Li Qiye perched his lips and explained: "Because your patriarch was a chicken that reached the apex to become a demon, that is why I wrote those words."

He naturally didn't tell them the real secret. The Nine Saint Virtuous Paragon didn't have this name in the beginning, he used to be known as the Nine Saint Heavenly Demon, a name of great arrogance. When the Dark Crow asked him to become a fate protector for Min Ren, he immediately refused. He praised himself as the "Only Demon under the heavens," which was why he chose not to be under anyone.

Li Qiye was angered since he dared to rudely refuse his invitation. Li Qiye beat up the Virtuous Paragon, forced him back to his original form, and plucked all of his feathers out of anger as he laughed: "Haha, Mere Chicken above the earth."

[1] This wasn't made explicitly clear before, but there are two types of treasures: True and Life. True is a much stronger version than Life because it is imbued with true energy from its master.

[2] This is a historical Chinese poetry play; each word has to either match or have an opposite meaning for their corresponding counterpart in the same order, and the two lines also need to have the same or opposite meaning as well.
