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

Chapter 107 The Reappearance of Emojis

The so-called "Bloodline Management Regulations" are essentially the laws of the bloodline community. After the Baoze Group was established, it customized and improved this set of laws based on the original rules of the bloodline community. In the era when the Taoist and Buddhist Association acted as the enforcers, everyone acted entirely based on "morality." For example, if you saw that someone's cabbage was growing beautifully, you could forcibly plant it in their womb. This was definitely unethical, and the Taoist and Buddhist Association would send disciples down the mountain to arrest you.

However, there are many things that cannot be clearly explained by morality. Therefore, during the years when the Taoist and Buddhist Associations acted as law enforcers, the bloodline community was not exactly rife with bloodshed, but it was very chaotic. You can't expect monks to make laws either, after all, their expertise is not relevant.

After Baoze Group took over the Bloodline World, it established a strict and standardized legal system. Under the premise of not affecting social stability and the normal lives of ordinary people, Baoze Group cannot deploy troops on a large scale; this was the result of negotiations between the Bloodline World and Baoze.

The demonic treasure is a matter for the bloodline world and does not affect ordinary people.

Based on his memory, Li Xianyu copied the treasure map and checked it several times. He was sure it was correct. Liu Kongchao came over to take a look. At first, he thought the map looked familiar. After a moment of surprise, he immediately widened his eyes.

Isn't this my family heirloom map?

How did he know...?

Before he could voice his doubts, Li Xianyu tapped the table: "I have a map here."

The managers, whose heated discussion had gradually escalated into an argument, stopped and all looked at Li Xianyu. One manager frowned: "What did you say?"

Li Xianyu closed the notebook, pushed it forcefully outwards, from the end of the table to the head of the table, slid it across the long table, and slid it to the front of the Ape God.

The Ape God opened the notebook, stared intently, and exclaimed in astonishment, "A treatise on twelve methods of discipline?"

Li Xianyu: "Huh?"

Suddenly, You Mengyu screamed, her face turning bright red, and she trembled, "Minister, Minister... don't speak, I have my pride too."

Li Xianyu glanced at her trembling legs and bright eyes, wondering what she was so excited about.

The Ape God flipped through the notebook, finally reaching the page with the map. He tore it out and pushed it in front of You Mengyu. He turned to look at the Thunder King, who nodded.

The assistant took the paper and left.

The people in the conference room looked at each other, confused and unsure of what was going on.

A descendant of the Li family suddenly popped up claiming to have a map, and the head of headquarters actually believed him? They even sent someone to verify it?

The crowd remained puzzled for five minutes until the assistant came in with the paper and whispered a few words to the Monkey God.

The Ape God nodded and said loudly, "Based on the scan results, the treasure location is correct. Just as Li Peiyun said, the demonic treasure is most likely in Hu Nan..."

"Boss," a manager asked, frowning, "can you talk about the accuracy of the map's source?"

Several managers glanced at Li Xianyu, intentionally or unintentionally.

"I can only tell you that the map is accurate. Don't ask anything else." Before the Ape God could speak, the Thunder King spoke first, and then gestured for the Ape God to continue.

"Assuming the address given by the demonic cultivator is correct, we contacted the Hunan branch, and they provided their investigation results," said Ape God. "Poison Eye, you tell everyone."

A middle-aged man with grayish-white pupils nodded and took over the conversation: "The mountain itself is quite ordinary, but there's a village ten kilometers away. The village once organized an anti-Japanese team and fought guerrilla warfare against the Japanese in the mountains. That's the only useful information. The area has always been poor and underdeveloped. The village once tried to develop tourism using the name of the anti-Japanese hero's former site, but they couldn't find the original site left by the anti-Japanese team, and in the end, it all fell through."

Thunder King: "Liu Kongchao, your mission report states that your ancestors participated in the War of Resistance against Japan, right?"

Liu Kongchao nodded: "My grandfather told me all of this."

Li Xianyu's heart skipped a beat: "Was your ancestor, the anti-Japanese hero, named Liu Ming?"

Liu Kongchao looked at him, dumbfounded again: "How the hell do you know everything?"

The Thunder King stared at Li Xianyu: "What are you trying to say?"

"No, no, please continue." Li Xianyu waved his hand. He thought to himself that it was true. Liu Kongchao was a descendant of Liu Ming. Liu Ming was one of the men who split the map in two and took it with him as a family heirloom. The other man was named Chen Ye. His descendants changed their surname to Lu. A few years ago, the Blood Demon wiped out his family and took the map.

How could that sorcerer be involved with those two? Isn't he a Japanese collaborator?

Moreover, based on fragments of memory, the two were clearly henchmen of the evil Taoist priest.

Based on the intelligence currently available to the company, it is not difficult to guess that the cave he saw in the fragments of his memory was the former site of the anti-Japanese team.

That place seals the demonic sword of qi—no, it should be said that the demonic sword of qi seals something terrifying.

That was the demon's lifelong enemy, something he racked his brains to get rid of.

The Taoist priest later helped the islanders; was it because of that thing?

Li Xianyu's expression shifted uncertainly; he dared not reveal the matter in public. He couldn't speak of it, not even to those of Baoze; he had to keep it a secret.

He didn't dare gamble his life on his reputation; at worst, he would just improvise. Anyway, now was not the time to release the information publicly.

......

After the meeting, the company only gave them half an hour to prepare. Ape God led the vanguard team straight to Chongqing Airport and boarded a Gulfstream aircraft under Baoze's name to fly to Changsha. The entire team that had encountered the Ancient God Cult's ambush in Sanliban Village was with the vanguard team. Sanwu was still unconscious and was temporarily left at the Chongqing branch.

Li Xianyu could understand the others, after all, although You Mengyu's strength was only so-so, her sadistic older sister was incredibly fierce, Xia Xiaoxue's superpower was suitable for stealth and reconnaissance, and Thunder War Maiden's strength was overwhelming. But why was Liu Kongchao, such a weakling, in the team? It seems that the Chongqing branch really intended to cultivate him.

Li Xianyu has become arrogant. In reality, if he were to fight Liu Kongchao, he would be the one to lose. Liu Kongchao's Qi cultivation level is considerable, and his supernatural ability is a perfect counter to Li Xianyu's. If he simply turns into a rubber man and binds Li Xianyu, Li Xianyu would be helpless.

But when it comes to the battlefield of life-or-death struggle, Li Xianyu is much fiercer than Liu Kongchao. Xianyu's special ability is very suitable for a life-or-death battle.

Inside the spacious and luxurious Gulfstream, the Monkey God sat in his private spot, closing his eyes to rest.

You Mengyu and Xia Xiaoxue were scrolling through their phones out of boredom. Thunder War Maiden curled up her long legs, wearing headphones and watching a movie. The light from the phone shone in her eyes like sparkling pearls.

Liu Kongchao was also watching a movie, furtively pressing his hand down on it while wearing headphones. It was a Hong Kong-style movie copy that Li Xianyu had given him. Most of the Hong Kong goddesses familiar to those born in the 90s could be found on Li Xianyu's treasured USB drive. Liu Kongchao was overjoyed, wishing he could immediately swear allegiance to Li Xianyu as his elder brother.

Li Xianyu's films are out of print and cannot be found online. The reason he has them is because his adoptive father used to be a pirate CD dealer. His adoptive father was a rough and uncouth man and did not have any artsy tendencies. He just had a collecting quirk. He would keep a copy of the pirated CDs he handled back then that he thought were good, and he would hide them in the storage room at home.

During his adolescence, Li Xianyu secretly broke into his adoptive father's forbidden area and would steal some DVDs from there every few days to watch at his friends' houses.

The teenagers' sexual awakening began at that time. Back then, the innocent children were not yet proficient in the Five Dragons Embracing the Pillar Technique, and their erections were hard and they couldn't release their pent-up desires, making them feel uncomfortable all over.

Later, when discs disappeared from the scene, Li Xianyu asked a senior student majoring in computer science to transfer all the discs in his house to a USB drive, which he has treasured ever since.

He plans to pass down the contents of the USB drive as a family heirloom. His adoptive father will give it to him, and he will pass it on to his son, and so on, generation after generation. If he has a daughter in the future, he will pass it on to his grandson.

"What are you looking at?" Li Xianyu moved closer to Thunder War Maiden.

She was watching an old American movie called Shutter Island.

"I don't understand..." Thunder War Maiden glanced at him gently, her tone unconsciously carrying a hint of coquetry.

"If there's anything you don't understand, I'll look at it with you and explain it to you later." Li Xianyu took the opportunity to sit next to her.

I've watched half of the movie. It's about two police officers who go to an island where mental patients are kept to investigate a case of a missing mental patient. Interspersed throughout are a lot of hallucinations and delusions of the male protagonist, which feel very chaotic and fragmented.

Thunder Warrior asked him if the male protagonist was mentally ill. Li Xianyu said he probably was. Thunder Warrior then asked him if it was brainwashing or if the male protagonist was actually mentally ill to begin with.

Li Xianyu said, "How the hell would I know? I don't understand it either."

Then he was met with a disdainful glare from the long-legged beauty.

You Mengyu said, "Let's take a group photo. I wanted to take one last time in Sanliban Village."

Li Xianyu said that this was a good idea, and that he had an even better one.

He rummaged through the freezer for champagne, poured himself a glass, and shyly asked Ape God for a cigar. Ape God, out of respect for Peerless Warrior, gave it to him.

Li Xianyu sat casually on the sofa, letting his great-grandmother and Thunder Warrior sit on either side of him. "If you can, please rest your little heads on my shoulders."

Upon hearing this, Thunder War Maiden instinctively objected, saying, "I don't care, but watch out, your great-grandmother might knock you on the head."

As soon as she finished speaking, the great-grandmother rested her head on her great-grandson's shoulder.

Thunder War Maiden thought to herself, "If even my great-grandmother doesn't mind, then I have nothing to complain about."

Li Xianyu sat in the middle, holding a champagne glass in his right hand and a cigar in his left, his legs crossed. Thunder Warrior and Grandma flanked him, looking like little birds. Behind them were two beautiful girls, Xia Xiaoxue and You Mengyu.

The image freezes on a click.

It's Liu's turn to be empty-nest. Liu, the virgin, said, "I want one too! I want one too! If possible, please keep your original pose, miss."

After he finished speaking, the four women glanced at him sideways.

He also took a group photo with the four beauties. Although he didn't have them on either side, he was very satisfied. The invincible warrior in the photo alone was enough for him to brag about.

Li Xianyu asked the team member who took the photos to send them to him, saying, "I want to show off my divine power to the bloodline group at headquarters."

I also want to show the big shots at headquarters how cool I am. Anyway, his identity as a descendant of the Li family has already been exposed, so there's no need to keep his great-grandmother's existence a secret anymore.

During the few days that Li Xianyu was recuperating at the Chongqing branch, the bloodline group at headquarters was in an uproar. The big shots never expected that Li Xianyu, this toxic newcomer, was actually a descendant of the Li family.

He edited the text on the photo: The life of a big shot.

send!

Li Xianyu was looking forward to the reactions of his colleagues in the group chat, hoping they would cheer wildly and shout "666" like they did the day before yesterday.

A moment later, the teenage heartthrob sent a picture with the caption: "Are you trying to outdo me in 'killer'?"

King Kong sent me a picture with the caption: Still showing off? This is never going to end.

The tentacle monster sent me a picture with the caption: "You think you're as good as me?"

Li Bai sent a picture with the caption: Who's afraid of who?

The popular meme, which had been dormant for a long time, suddenly went viral again.

Shit!

I forgot about this meme.

The headquarters bloodline group hasn't posted this picture in a long time; everyone's enthusiasm for using emojis has clearly waned.

Li Xianyu turned off her phone screen with a twitching at the corner of her mouth, and suddenly realized that something was wrong with her surroundings.

Thunder War Maiden looked at him speechlessly. She hadn't thought much of it before, but now she suddenly felt very uncomfortable. This slut knew he had a dark past, yet he still wouldn't keep a low profile. He kept showing off, and now he'd gotten what he deserved.

The great-grandmother looked very surprised; it was the first time she had seen the budding and blossoming second son of the Li family.

Xia Xiaoxue and You Mengyu secretly glanced at his lower body.

Liu Kongchao didn't believe it: "It's photoshopped, isn't it?"

Li Xianyu: "..."
