Starting with Fireflies, Speedrun the World

Although the journey was extremely dangerous, for some reason she didn't care at all and just wanted to see him as soon as possible.

A young girl experiencing her first love is always like this...

"Come in quickly, there shouldn't be any outsiders seeing us, right?"

Jin Renfeng didn't act too proactively; she just looked around cautiously and, only when she didn't see anyone else, she quickly let her in.

Although he now has a certain degree of influence in Shenhuo Mountain Manor, the relationship between humans and demons is currently strained, and Jin Renfeng does not want outsiders to know about the existence of Cuiyu Xiaotan, so they only meet in private.

Besides, he didn't want anyone to know that he had contact with the leech demon, and that his relationship with Cuiyu Xiaotan was simply to use her.

It's just a monster...

The women he truly cared about were Dongfang Huaizhu and her sister.

"No, I'm very careful."

Cuiyu Xiaotan entered the courtyard and quickly replied. She understood the situation between humans and demons and agreed that their affairs should not be known to others.

So she only approached after confirming that there were no people around.

However, even though the agreement was made, she still felt a little sad. It felt secretive and clandestine, not quite what she had imagined…

"That's good. Xiao Tan, you understand the current situation between humans and demons. Unless I become the master of Shenhuo Mountain Manor, we have no right to have an open and aboveboard relationship..."

Leading Cuiyu Xiaotan into the courtyard, Jin Renfeng also expressed his helplessness. If it were just him, he naturally wouldn't care about Cuiyu Xiaotan's demon race identity.

However, once exposed, and lacking the strength to resist, they will be targeted by the Dao Alliance, and their fate will not be good.

"Aren't you already the eldest disciple of Shenhuo Mountain Manor? The current master of Shenhuo Mountain Manor only has two daughters, so you'll definitely be able to inherit the manor and become its master in the future..."

Hearing Jin Renfeng's words, the innocent and naive Cuiyu Xiaotan didn't think too much about it.

Although she didn't have much contact with Jin Renfeng, he "sincerely" told her many things, so she naturally knew these things.

Jin Renfeng, as the eldest disciple of Shenhuo Mountain Manor, is more talented than the other disciples. In the eyes of others, he can be considered the best successor of Shenhuo Mountain Manor.

"Although that's what they say, Master has never made a statement, not even to Junior Sister..."

"Furthermore, without mastering the Demon-Slaying Divine Fire and without sufficient strength, any interaction between humans and demons... is just empty talk. And to obtain the Divine Fire, one must possess the corresponding bloodline. Alas."

Jin Renfeng deliberately steered the conversation in this direction, instilling in Cuiyu Xiaotan the idea that only if he obtained enough power could he stop having to secretly date her.

The way to obtain power is to acquire the bloodline of the Eastern Spirit Clan and completely master the divine fire.

"...bloodline."

Jade Xiaotan blinked her big eyes, saying that obtaining someone else's bloodline was extremely difficult for others.

But it's not a difficult task for the leech demon.

If Jin Renfeng truly wanted to obtain the bloodline of the Eastern Spirit Clan for her sake, in order to have a legitimate relationship, then perhaps she could help him.

Although the secret technique of blood transfusion is not to be passed on to outsiders, even male leech demons have little contact with it.

"Never mind, let's not talk about that now. Xiao Tan, this is a gift I prepared for you."

Seeing that Cuiyu Xiaotan clearly listened and was deep in thought, Jin Renfeng knew that too much was too much. Saying too much would make it seem like his relationship with her was solely for the leech demon's blood-changing secret technique.

Although that was indeed his purpose...

But it can't be too obvious.

At the same time, Jin Renfeng took out the gift he had carefully prepared and handed it to Cuiyu Xiaotan.

A gift! For me?

When Cuiyu Xiaotan, who was contemplating the matter of blood transfusion, saw the exquisite gift that Jin Renfeng had taken out, she immediately stopped thinking about it and looked at the wooden box in front of her with great joy.

“I saw a jade hairpin before and felt it would suit you perfectly, so I bought it. I hope you will like it.”

Jin Renfeng opened the exquisite wooden box, revealing a very beautiful jade hairpin inside.

"It's so beautiful, it looks so expensive! It must cost a lot of money!"

The jade hairpin in front of her captivated Cuiyu Xiaotan.

This jade hairpin looks extraordinary...

"Price doesn't matter, as long as you like it."

A cold glint flashed in Jin Renfeng's eyes. He had originally bought the jade hairpin to give to Dongfang Huaizhu, but it had been rejected.

"I love so much."

Although she felt she didn't need the jade hairpin, she was very happy to see such a thoughtful gift from Jin Renfeng.

The slight unhappiness caused by the secretive behavior immediately disappeared.

"..."

Seeing how easily satisfied Cuiyu and Xiaotan were, Jin Renfeng couldn't help but sigh, "If only Dongfang Huaizhu and the others were like that..."

In his early years, Jin Renfeng learned about the Eastern Spirit Clan.

The Eastern race, born with spiritual power, is renowned throughout the world for its pure Yang Flame, the divine fire that extinguishes demons, and is thus known as the Spirit Race.

Women of the Eastern Spirit Clan can pass on their spiritual power to their children if they so choose.

If a man from another race marries a woman from the Eastern Spirit Clan, he can directly pass on his cultivation achievements to the next generation, which is equivalent to having the foundation for establishing a powerful family.

Although Jin Renfeng was young at that time, he was already very shrewd. He pretended to be chased by his enemies and was successfully rescued by the head of the Dongfang clan, thus becoming a disciple of the clan.

After he joined the family, he pestered Dongfang Qinlan and Dongfang Huaizhu all day long, wanting to become the son-in-law of the Dongfang family and steal the bloodline spiritual power of the Dongfang clan.

However, the Dongfang Huaizhu sisters didn't like him at all and rejected him repeatedly...

That's why he thought of using the leech demon's blood-changing secret technique to obtain spiritual blood and control the divine fire through other means.

At the same time, he not only wanted to obtain the divine fire for himself, but also wanted his children to gain even greater power. Therefore, even if he obtained the spiritual blood, he would not let go of the Dongfang sisters.

In his eyes, the Dongfang Huaizhu sisters could only be his possessions.

Just as Jin Renfeng's rendezvous with Cuiyu Xiaotan was progressing rapidly, and something was about to happen, a bright light suddenly fell on the outer edge of the courtyard.

A sudden earthquake shook the ground, turning the courtyard into ruins.

This also broke the ambiguous atmosphere between the two...

"Oh no! There's danger!"

Sensing danger, Jin Renfeng's expression changed instantly. He immediately drew his weapon and held it in front of him. As for Cuiyu and Xiaotan beside him...

In a dangerous situation, he wouldn't care whether the monster lived or died.

If it were a deliberate arrangement, he wouldn't mind staging a hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scene, but this wasn't it. However, at this moment, Cuiyu Xiaotan wasn't thinking about these things; she was feeling rather flustered.

However, the sudden attack did not actually harm them; it was as if it were an accident, and things quickly calmed down.

The once beautiful courtyard is gone...

"What exactly happened? What's going on?!"

Pushing aside the ruins of the courtyard, Jin Renfeng emerged, dusted himself off, and looked around with a grim expression.

Little Jade Lotus also crawled out, looking at the surrounding ruins with a sense of déjà vu...

Then, not long after, she noticed figures not far away, and her face changed instantly. Two familiar figures appeared in front of her.

Following the location of Cuiyu Xiaotan, Cuiyu Mingluan and Feixiao arrived...

"Fox demons...and leech demons..."

Jin Renfeng also noticed their presence.

Clearly, the commotion here is because of them.

But they really have a lot of nerve. This is near Shenhuo Mountain Manor. Apart from Cuiyu Xiaotan, who arranged this place, there are other demons who dare to approach.

Are you really not afraid of death?

Just as Jin Renfeng was about to say something, Cuiyu Xiaotan's uneasy voice rang out from the side, making him freeze.

"Master...Master? What are you doing here?"

Cuiyu Xiaotan never expected that her master and Feixiao would come looking for her and appear here.

For a moment, I didn't know what to do.

"..."

Is that leech demon Cuiyu Xiaotan's master?

Trouble.

Upon hearing Cuiyu Xiaotan's words, Jin Renfeng's face darkened even more. This situation was completely unexpected and had disrupted his original plans.

She felt resentment towards the male leech demon, who couldn't even handle such a simple matter.

"Xiao Tan, you've disappointed me so much! What did I tell you? Humans aren't trustworthy..."

"Look what you're doing right now?"

Even Cui Yumingluan seemed angry upon seeing the student in front of her. She had been worried about her all the way here and had rushed over in a hurry.

If it had been any later, who knows what might have happened.

As for humans, Cuiyu Mingluan doesn't condemn them all outright. After all, there are people who truly love demons, and those who go to Tushan to continue their love are a prime example.

But such cases are ultimately a minority...

Most of them are hostile to the demon race or have ill intentions.

Jin Renfeng, standing before us, is one of them. He colluded with traitors and specifically plotted against Cuiyu Xiaotan...

"me……"

Cuiyu Xiaotan hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and looked at Cuiyu Mingluan with courage.

“Master, you don’t understand him. Jin Renfeng is different from other humans.”

Cuiyu Xiaotan spoke with conviction. In her heart, Jin Renfeng was different from those who would kill or run away from demons and Taoist priests. He was not as sinister and cunning as they described.

"you!!"

Seeing Cuiyu Xiaotan standing in front of Jin Renfeng and speaking on his behalf, Cuiyu Mingluan almost fainted from anger.

Is he different from other humans?
