It turns out I'm a second-generation demon.

Chapter 105 Something That Will Overturn the World

"The company's support team arrived the next morning. Only Sanwu survived. She was sitting on the grass, her body covered in blood, holding the heads of her teammates. Above her was blue sky and white clouds, and around her were unattended cattle and sheep. We don't know why the God of War didn't kill her. Maybe he thought she was doomed. When the rescue team found her, she was already on her last legs, but she survived thanks to her strong will."

"After Sanwu awoke, the mission to hunt down the Ancient God Cult was over. After that battle, she returned to her original self: aloof, unsociable, training alone, eating alone, and silently lost in thought. This was perhaps her normal life. She gained her first precious friendship during the training camp. In the blink of an eye, the Ancient God Cult deprived her of the right to be a normal girl."

"At her most reclusive, she wouldn't be seen for more than half a month. When you were with her, you would find that she was a doll without any emotions. You would say something, and she would do it, but there would be no extra communication. She herself probably realized that this couldn't go on, and in recent years she has started to try to communicate with people and try to integrate herself into the big family. It's not that no employees were willing to accept her. In fact, everyone was quite pitiful to her. But she herself did not expect that she could no longer accept anyone's friendship. Once someone tried to enter her life, she would ruthlessly close that door."

"So all these years, everyone has kept their distance from her, a distance that makes her feel at ease," Thunder War Maiden said with a soft sigh.

The crowd was slightly moved, and a feeling of pity arose spontaneously in their hearts.

This senior S-rank employee in the company has a truly tragic life. Trained as an assassin by the Ancient God Cult from a young age, perhaps weary of being a weapon, she betrayed the cult and joined the Baoze Group. Just when she finally had some allies, they all died.

Li Xianyu gazed at the girl lying quietly on the hospital bed. The so-called safe distance meant that we knew each other, but we couldn't be friends. If we weren't friends, I wouldn't suffer because of your death.

I know you, so I don't feel lonely.

This distance is perfect.

Li Xianyu scratched his head. If that's the case, even if they were killed by the God of War that night, Sanwu shouldn't have been so traumatized that he hasn't woken up yet.

Suddenly, he remembered something and found Sanwu's wallet in the wardrobe in the corner. He opened it, and a group photo came into view. In the center was an apple-faced girl with pigtails, flanked by twin siblings, and behind them stood a tall, thin young man. All four of them had smiles on their faces, but to the side, separated from them by a seat, Sanwu stared blankly at the camera. She seemed a little nervous, her facial muscles tense, and a glint of light secretly flashing in her fixed eyes.

Li Xianyu thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

The younger twin is a delicate-looking, effeminate man, and belongs to the same type of handsome guy as him.

No wonder Sanwu reacted so strongly back then; seeing her own delicate face probably reminded her of that night many years ago that she didn't want to recall.

No wonder she treated him a little differently; it seems that his face has a special appeal to Sanwu.

You Mengyu leaned closer to look, "Wow, is this the same Team 21 from back then?"

Thunder Warrior glanced at it: "Hmm."

"Alright, alright, go back." Li Xianyu shooed them out of the ward, stuffed his wallet back into his pocket, and stood in the quiet ward. Sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating half of the girl's face. She was sleeping peacefully, but you couldn't judge her mood by her expression, because the girl never showed any emotion.

She used to be the sword of the Ancient God Cult, now she is the sword of Baoze.

The only difference is that she now has the freedom to make friends, but she has developed a psychological shadow over friendship.

Li Xianyu recalled that back in the virtual world, Thunder War Maiden had unintentionally mentioned that Sanwu also had a knot in his heart. He hadn't paid attention then, but now he understood what Sanwu's knot was.

"Get a good night's sleep." He turned and left the ward.

You Mengyu and Xia Xiaoxue strongly recommended that Liu Kongchao join Baoze's Chongqing branch, reasoning that they felt Liu Kongchao was capable and talented, and should join Baoze to protect world peace together.

But Li Xianyu knew that recommending rogue cultivators or newly awakened bloodlines to join Baoze would earn the recommender ten points.

The two girls were there for the points.

Liu Kongchao was initially unwilling, especially after the battle with the Ancient God Cult, which completely extinguished the remaining passion of the young man.

Seeing that her gentle approach wasn't working, Xia Xiaoxue resorted to force, grabbing the virgin's collar and saying, "You're twenty-three and still a virgin, don't you feel ashamed? Eating preservatives, wearing cheap clothes from street vendors, don't you feel ashamed? Your salary account balance is always in the four figures, and even a beautiful woman wouldn't be your girlfriend, don't you feel ashamed?"

You Mengyu added: "The Bloodline Department of Baoze Group pays 50,000 yuan a month for interns."

Sure enough, they managed to get rid of Liu Kongchao.

When Li Xianyu returned to the ward that evening, she heard Liu Chunan wiping away tears with a heavy heart...

.......

Chengdu!

The influence of the Bloodline is widespread throughout the world, with their money-making tentacles reaching into every industry. It's quite possible that a company you're familiar with has the backing of the Bloodline. Perhaps you've walked past a club where alluring and cute young women are frantically soliciting customers; they have long tails, playful animal ears, and pupils of various colors.

The fragrance of rosewater filled the private room, where several fox spirits stood in the shimmering pool, splashing and playing, their silvery laughter echoing through the air.

They were wrapped in thin gauze, their voluptuous and graceful figures partially obscured, each with firm breasts and slender waists, exuding allure, while pool water flowed down their milky smooth skin.

On two massage beds by the pool, Li Peiyun lay face down, eyes closed, enjoying the fox woman's soft hands applying essential oil to her back and the gentle massage from behind.

"The Aoki family from the island nation contacted me not long ago," said the man on the other massage bed.

He possessed an incomparably handsome face, the kind that would make any man's heart flutter. His ever-smiling eyes gave off an impression of kindness, gentleness, and approachability. If he had been born in ancient times, he would undoubtedly have been a renowned courtesan.

"So?" Li Peiyun didn't even open her eyes.

"They said they want to cooperate with you. The Aoki family has some history with the demonic path, so they're not strangers. During World War II, their family spent a lot of money and manpower searching for the Pantheon. I'd like to know what they're looking for." The man said with a smile, his voice gentle and warm. Despite being a man, he had a natural charm.

Li Peiyun didn't answer, and the man wasn't in a hurry either, just watching with a smile.

"Although I inherited the Three Talents Sword Technique of the Demonic Path, I do not know anything about the Pantheon Palace." Li Peiyun opened her eyes.

The man with squinty eyes said softly, "You can pretend you know."

"Alright, offer sacrifices to one hundred flower girls from the Aoki family," Li Peiyun said.

"Tsk, you want women? I have plenty here."

"No, I want a woman from the island nation."

"You have such an obsession with Japanese beauties?" the man asked, puzzled.

"My great-grandfather had a childhood sweetheart when he was young, but she was violated by the Japanese soldiers," Li Peiyun said. "I have to avenge him."

The squinty-eyed man smiled and dismissed it, then said seriously, "We're talking about serious business."

Li Peiyun also said seriously, "The important matter is: Pigeon House Engun."

Seeing his decisiveness, the squinty-eyed man stopped talking and let the matter drop, saying, "Are you feeling better? If my intelligence is correct, the Li family heir has indeed just awakened. How could he possibly defeat you?"

Li Peiyun rolled her eyes and said, "That kid is incredibly cunning. I still can't figure out how he knows my weakness."

"How is he?"

"His resentment isn't deep-seated. If you try to lure him in with his father's hatred, it'll be difficult," Li Peiyun said. "I'm different. I've received favors, and I'm here to clear people's names. You can use me as you please."

"As long as you follow my plan, everything will go smoothly," the man said.

"Ah~ It's so good to have a cunning strategist. You guessed right, we were chased by the Ape God on our way back, but luckily we were prepared and lured him to Chuncheng." Li Peiyun suddenly remembered something: "There's something else, the current generation of the Li family's successor is a bit strange."

The man raised an eyebrow: "What is it?"

"Self-healing, his superpower is self-healing. During our fight, I didn't sense any enhancement from him; instead, I noticed a terrifying self-healing ability. I've encountered other bloodlines of the same type, and none of them could do what he does." Li Peiyun said, slapping the back of the bed. "And there's something even stranger."

"Say it all at once."

"The God of War's arm has been restored."

"Um?"

......

An hour earlier, in a private room at the club, the God of War sat cross-legged on the bed, his dark and rugged face showing obvious paleness.

Blood Demon Chu Hanliang pushed open the door to the private room and rushed in excitedly.

"Why aren't you staying where you are? What are you doing here?" The God of War opened his weary eyes. If he had known that there was a descendant of the Li family in Baoze's team, he would have definitely canceled the ambush, or at least acted quickly, grabbed the treasure map, and left. There are always unexpected events in the world, and no one can control them.

They lost both their wife and their army; although they obtained the treasure map, they lost an arm in the process.

"Boss, I have a way to restore your severed arm," Blood Demon said bluntly.

"What did you say?" Two sharp glints shot from the God of War's pupils.

"Didn't you ask me before why I didn't die?" Blood Demon grinned. "At first I wasn't sure either, but now I understand. After the Peerless Battle Soul snapped my neck, I thought I was going to die, but just when I was in despair, I suddenly felt a heat all over my body, and a rejuvenating power surged out of my body, repairing it."

"The power of repair?" Overcoming confusion.

"Yes," the Blood Demon stretched out his right arm, his left index finger's sharp nail slicing through his skin, leaving a bloody wound that healed visibly within seconds.

The God of War was shocked and moved: "You possess self-healing power? What happened?"

The Blood Demon said regretfully, "It doesn't possess self-healing power. This power is constantly weakening, and I think it will disappear soon. Boss, do you remember who among the people we fought possessed self-healing abilities?"

"The descendant of the Li family..."

"That's right, and I devoured a large amount of his blood. Normal self-healing abilities only affect the user, but he can restore the wounded." The Blood Demon's expression twisted with excitement: "I suspect he is immortal."

The God of War's eyes flickered slightly. He raised his arm, grabbed the Blood Demon's neck, bit through his throat, and swallowed the thick, warm blood that filled his mouth.

......

"The God of War's arm has regenerated, a severed limb has regenerated... Isn't that strange? I've never heard of such a superpower before," Li Peiyun said, recalling her recent visit to the weakened Blood Demon. He lay on the bed, a blood-stained rag covering his face, the exposed half of his face contorted in a mad expression, muttering: "A rare treasure, a rare treasure..."

"This is very interesting information, and also an important clue," the squinty-eyed man said with a smile.

"It seems I guessed right. What Li Wuxiang brought out from the Pantheon back then was an immortal body!" Li Peiyun pondered.

"Tsk, I'm almost embarrassed to call you stupid." The squinty-eyed man shook his head. "It's not that simple. Don't you think about it? If he were immortal, why did Li Wuxiang die back then? There's another important piece of information you've overlooked: the Li family's ancestral ability is enhancement, while that successor's ability is self-healing. Abilities are imprinted in genes, and genes can't be changed. So how do you explain the Li family successor's self-healing ability?"

"What do you want to say?" Li Peiyun asked, startled.

"There's a chilling theory," the squinty-eyed man said in a low voice, "wasn't it rumored back then that what Li Wuxiang brought out from the Pantheon was enough to overturn the world?"

Li Peiyun frowned in deep thought.

"The most troublesome thing about the Li family is that they always have the Peerless Battle Spirit with them. That thing is too terrifying. We don't need to provoke them, after all, there are too many people who want to provoke the Li family." The squinty-eyed man said, "Let's not talk about that. You should be thinking about another question. The Three Talents Sword Technique is the reliance of the demonic path to dominate the bloodline world, but according to the older generation, he only rose to prominence after entering the Pantheon. So what was his initial reliance? And what did he bring with him?"
