The only beast master in the world of immortality.

Chapter 273 Don’t blame yourself, blame others

"Immortal, I can't do it, I really can't do it, I'm just an incompetent waste!"

In the hall of the mansion with carved beams and painted rafters, which was magnificent and luxurious everywhere, Cheng Ping, who had changed into brocade clothes, had no words or deeds to match the clothes. He knelt on the ground and begged desperately to a young man in white clothes with an indifferent face.

"So, what do you want to tell me?"

Feng Qing'an looked down at the young man who was kneeling at his feet, with no aura of a king at all.

"Immortal, can you please let me go back? I really can't do it. I can't protect everyone. I'm useless. I'm a waste."

The young man Cheng Ping raised his head, his expression filled with panic, fear, and a bit of anticipation.

In just half a month, he, who had originally had nothing to do and felt that his life was losing its meaning, now felt like he was suffocating due to the heavy burdens he was carrying.

When he first returned to the human world, he transformed himself into a demon under the instructions of the immortals and rescued the people who were held captive by the snake demon. These people were originally very afraid of him, but when he traveled through mountains and rivers and brought them back to the town, these mortals worshipped him as a god.

When people who have nearly died at the hands of demons return to their familiar environment, what they fear is naturally encountering similar things again. As for any existence that can protect them, no matter what it looks like, they will worship it as a god.

You should know that many city gods are sitting on green-faced, fang-toothed, hideous and ferocious yakshas who obey their orders. But even yakshas with such appearance have statues in city god temples and are worshipped by the people.

Cheng Ping turned into a demon, which was more terrifying than a yaksha, but not ugly. He had a sense of might and tyranny, and a majesty that could intimidate demons. When such a being stood in front of one, one would naturally feel a sense of security.

Therefore, under the earnest pleas of hundreds of people, Cheng Ping agreed to their request and stayed in the town with them. What happened next was naturally simple and natural.

In the end of humanity, demons are rampant, especially in towns with small populations, which are more vulnerable to attacks by demons. In just a few short days, the young man naturally stood out in the strange town, just as Feng Qingan expected.

There is always such a passion in the hearts of young people. If they are of low status and weak, they can only rely on words, which is meaningless in reality. However, the young Cheng Ping has awakened an extremely powerful alien bloodline.

When he saw with his own eyes the demons committing crimes and slaughtering humans wantonly, the boy's passion was enough to make him forget all his worries, and he was even willing to burn his own life to activate the power he had gained.

However, there is one thing the young man does not know. If he uses the power of Yama's bloodline to fight, what will be consumed is his life force, that is, his lifespan.

If he could win the fight with the demon and devour the demon's soul before his strength was exhausted, then not only would he not have to worry about the loss of his lifespan, but his bloodline would also be further strengthened and grow gradually under the nourishment of the demon's soul.

This is a bloodline that can grow rapidly in the fight with demons. Of course, this not only requires ensuring that there are enough gains in the fight with demons before the lifespan is exhausted, but also requires ensuring that one's will can control the wildly growing power.

At the beginning of their practice, those who practice Taoism need to recite scriptures to nourish their spirits. As their realm gradually rises, they will be at risk of going astray, not to mention this kind of power that relies on bloodline power and can grow unreasonably.

Using the immature mentality of a young man to control this naturally demonic power that radiates evil from the inside out, under normal circumstances, even if he does not die, he will fall into the path of demons and become a human-shaped disaster in the world of cholera.

However, the existence of Feng Qing'an, or more precisely, the existence of the Qilin beast Sen Miao, can protect the boy's mind and keep him from being disturbed by the evil blood and evil spirits.

It's just that the boy didn't have much life experience, so he didn't realize the horror of his own bloodline, nor did he realize how well protected he was.

He just relied on his passion to fight against demons in a strange town for a group of humans who looked similar to him before.

However, it was precisely because of his recklessness and fighting spirit that he was not afraid of a tiger that he not only won victory after victory in the battles with monsters - no matter how ferocious the monsters were, they could not withstand someone suppressing them in secret - but also made the young man gain the recognition of the townspeople.

The blood power of Yama grew stronger day by day in the battle with demons, and the boy was even deified by the townspeople. At first, the boy was intoxicated in the great vanity and cheers of being worshipped.

However, everything became different after he was pushed onto the altar amid the cheers, shouts, and requests of the people and became the patron saint of a town with a population of less than a thousand households.

At first, as long as the boy killed the monsters, he would be welcomed by the people with cheers and admiring looks. However, when he promised to protect the town, it was taken for granted that he risked his life to fight the monsters and kill them.

The voices of cheering and worship gradually decreased, and instead the voices of complaints, accusations and scolding increased day by day. The people in this town were no longer grateful to him for killing the demons, but instead blamed him for not coming earlier, causing their families and relatives to die at the hands of the demons.

Even if he protected everyone and no one was killed or lost their life, there would still be people who came out to blame and complain, asking why they couldn't be more careful during the fight, destroying houses, knocking down walls, and so on.

"You are indeed useless. I have seen everything you have been through these days."

Feng Qing'an's cold eyes changed. He looked at the young man in front of him. Even though he didn't have much expectations for him at the beginning, after seeing what he had experienced during this period of time, he still felt pity for his misfortune and annoyed at the unreality of his life.

Feng Qing'an naturally knew how despicable human nature was. It was almost instinctive for them to take advantage of others. If they could gain something good for a long time, they would take it for granted.

Just like the young man in front of us who protected the town, he would be thanked at first, but it only took a month. Even he was still risking his life to fight against the demons.

But everything he did would be taken for granted. The people he protected would see it as normal, and would even make a variety of absurd demands that were so harsh that people could not help but laugh.

"Immortal, do you also think that I haven't done well enough?"

Hearing Feng Qingan's voice, the light in the boy's eyes turned dim. He had tried his best to do his best, but he didn't expect that even the immortal who asked him to save the world did not recognize him.

"Do you know what you did wrong?"

"I……"

The young man looked thoughtful, but just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Feng Qingan. The immortal he had identified pointed at him.
"See, that's your biggest problem."

“My biggest problem?”

There was confusion in the boy's eyes, and he still hasn't reacted.

"You always reflect on yourself and never blame others!"

Feng Qing'an's words were so powerful that they exploded in Cheng Ping's ears like a bolt from the blue.

"Your biggest mistake is to indulge those mortals who are always asking for more. Have you ever thought about whether there is anything wrong with what they are doing?"

Hearing Feng Qingan's question, the young man was stunned.
"Human desires are endless and insatiable. If you want to be the Holy King I mentioned, you must not only govern with virtue, but also establish your authority. Only by combining kindness and authority, and emphasizing both authority and virtue, can you achieve what I asked. Now you have only kindness and kindness but no authority towards the mortals there, so they are getting more and more demanding, making all kinds of inappropriate demands, and even denying everything you have done before. You should punish these mortals with thunder and lightning, and use severe punishments in troubled times!"

Feng Qing'an's words were like a loud bell, resounding in the young man's mind. He recalled the many grievances and pains he had suffered in the past.

He was clearly fighting a bloody battle with the demon, but after he killed the demon, a woman chased him out and scolded him for damaging the roof of her house.

As a child born in a poor family, Cheng Ping always thought that he was to blame, because he also knew how hard it was to earn every brick and tile of a poor family.

But now, under Feng Qing'an's scolding, he suddenly realized why he should reflect on whether he had done something wrong. He was clearly trying to save people. Compared with human lives, what were those bricks, tiles, and mud walls?
"Immortal, I understand!"

The boy, who had a dejected look on his face and even wanted to escape, got up from the ground.

"What did you realize?"

"Don't blame yourself, learn to blame others!"

The boy's eyes were clear, without any trace of dejection, and what he said made Feng Qing'an burst into laughter.

"Not bad, not bad, this young man is teachable!"

"You know what to do now, don't you?"

"know."

The young man stood up straight with a determined look in his eyes. At this moment, a panicked voice came from outside the house.
"It's bad, Cheng Ping. A weasel has broken into the town and carried a baby up to the roof. You need to hurry up. If you go too late, the monster will eat the baby until not even a bone is left."

"You said you understood, then go and prove how much you have understood from my words. Go ahead!"

Feng Qing'an waved his hand, and for the first time, expectation showed in his eyes. No matter how crooked the boy would be, he was confident that he could correct it and make it what he wanted.

"I will definitely not disappoint the Immortal!"

The young man stood up and walked, fire ignited under his feet, and dazzling spiritual patterns shone like lava, gradually climbing up his entire cheeks. The boy, who was less than six feet tall, was transformed into a dark demon about ten feet tall, with flames burning all over his body, under the entanglement of the flames.

"Where is the goblin?"

When the demon walked out of the hall, he saw a strong man in tight clothes and holding a water and fire stick. The man was not panicked when he saw the demon. He just turned around and walked out to lead the way for the demon.

"follow me."

The man's tone did not have much respect, even though he knew that this demon could just reach out and crush him to death like a chicken, because in his understanding, this seemingly majestic and ferocious demon would not do that.

"Tell me where I am, you're too slow!"

The demon was not the same as before. At this moment, he no longer had many concerns in his heart, and felt a sense of sudden enlightenment. He felt that everything in front of him was different from before.

The pressure that had been piling up on him, making him feel like he was suffocating, had disappeared and no longer existed.

"In Lime Mill!"

The man took a look at the demon who did not catch up with him and was stunned for a moment. Although he felt a little strange, saving people was important, so he did not dare to delay. He pointed in a direction and saw the demon jumping up from the ground with a string of flames.

"This……"

When the man saw the demon blasting a shallow pit on the ground as it flew into the air, he realized something was wrong.

In recent times, this demon has been fighting with monsters and has been particularly concerned about everything in the town. Why is he so unscrupulous today?
boom--

There was a dull sound of landing, accompanied by an explosion of fire, and then the sound of livestock screaming in panic. When the owner rushed out of the house in a panic, he saw a terrifying figure leaping up from the ground again and soaring low in the air.

"Damn you Cheng Ping, did you take the wrong medicine? Is this the path you can walk on?"

The woman, still holding a shovel in her hand, saw the traces of flames and explosions on the ground, and looked at the figure of the demon with no fear at all, and started shouting and cursing.

Wow~
Flames rose and fell from the sky. The demon standing on the eaves of a house turned around suddenly, and stared at the woman who was speaking foul language with eyes like molten metal.

The powerful evil spirit's pressure suddenly made the woman stagnate. Fear appeared in her eyes involuntarily, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

When weak creatures face an existence that is powerful enough to kill them, no matter what they think in their minds, the body's instinctive reaction is the most real.

"Cheng... Cheng Ping, what do you want to do?"

The woman took a step back and fell to the ground, her face turning pale with fear.

But the demon just glanced at him, turned around and rushed towards the place where he sensed the evil spirit. This time, he had no scruples at all, rushing forward recklessly, ramming into walls when he met them, tearing down houses when he saw them, acting recklessly and heading straight for the demons.

Compared to the dolls whose lives might be taken away by demons, what is the loss of these dead things?
The boy already understood everything.

So, accompanied by bursts of scolding and cursing, the demon, whose body was wrapped in flames, finally found a weasel as big as a calf.

"Put the child down!"

Looking at the child held in the monster's mouth, the devil's eyes widened, his tongue spitted thunder, he clenched his claws, swung his fist, and punched out. The raging flames of evil energy roared like an angry dragon.
