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

Chapter 108 My Cousin

Li Xianyu's first impression of Hunan: the hometown of Chairman Mao.

Second impression: Mango.

Third impression: Mountains.

My last impression came from Sister Bingzha. Li Xianyu had never been to Hunan and didn't like traveling, but her sister loved to travel. After graduating, she never worked a day in her life, and would pack her bags and go on a trip whenever she wanted. She rarely used chat software, but would regularly post some of her travel photos to let her family know that she was doing well.

One of the stops was Hunan. In the travel photos posted by Bingzhazi, it seemed like all the attractions were related to mountains. Some were rugged, others majestic, making even someone like Li Xianyu, who doesn't like traveling, feel the urge to book a beautiful young woman online and explore the vast landscapes of China. But alas, he was too poor!

My parents' salaries are only enough for one person to live off them. If another one comes along, my adoptive father will commit seppuku at any moment.

Bingzhazi is very pretty and photogenic, but her aloof demeanor and lack of lively smiles make her travel photos lack sunshine and energy. Every time Li Xianyu sees Bingzhazi's selfies at tourist attractions, he thinks it would be perfectly natural to Photoshop the words "I've been here, I conquered" onto the photos.

He hadn't seen Bingzhazi for half a year. He wondered where she had gone off to this time. Judging from her current trend, she would have traveled all over China sooner or later, and then she might be traveling around the world.

Her adoptive parents' wealth certainly can't support her continued extravagant lifestyle. Maybe after she's traveled all over the country, she'll marry a rich man to support her hobby of traveling the world.

Bingzhazi and her great-grandmother are both spendthrift women.

Upon arriving at the airport, the Baoze Vanguard Team exited through a special passage and boarded a private car arranged by the Changsha branch, heading towards their destination.

Since the Changsha branch did not have an S-level employee on-site, this mission was led by the Chongqing branch, while the Changsha branch was responsible for logistics and crisis support.

Xucun is an ordinary rural village, so ordinary that it couldn't be more so. Most of the residential buildings are old Western-style houses with exposed red bricks, scattered haphazardly. The widest road in the village can only accommodate two cars side by side. It was only because the government built a provincial highway a few years ago that Xucun happened to be on the route, which is why there is a decent road outside the village.

This place is close to the mountains but far from the town, lacks local specialties and unique resources, and has little development value.

A few years ago, the town attracted investment to develop an industrial zone. Several villages near the town took advantage of this opportunity and quickly became rich. However, Xu Village, being far away and located near the mountains, did not receive any of the benefits.

Since yesterday, many strange people have come to Xucun, and all sorts of nice cars have been driving along the main road outside the village. The villagers are curiously discussing it, wondering if a neighboring village is putting on a show. Whenever a nearby village puts on a show, people flock there to see what's going on, and private cars come from the town and other villages.

Baoze Group's luxury business vehicles passed through Xucun. Outside the village, there was a sandy road leading directly into the deep mountains. At this time, it was full of all kinds of vehicles. Not to mention that cars could not drive in, it was difficult for people to walk through.

In just one day, so many descendants of the bloodline have gathered here.

The van dropped off the vanguard team by the roadside and sped away. It was already late; the setting sun was just a golden-red outline, and night would soon fall.

"Salted Fish, put this on." Grandma took out a matching tracksuit and a black T-shirt from her wallet.

Li Xianyu accepted the clothes blankly, thinking to himself, "This is so embarrassing! My great-grandmother actually wants me to wear matching outfits. Oh dear, I'm just too charming."

He unfolded the black T-shirt, and it was indeed the same style as his great-grandmother's fitted T-shirt, except that his great-grandmother's T-shirt had big white characters printed on it: "You scoundrel!"

And the big white lettering on his shirt reads: Call me Dad!

Li Xianyu: "..."

Where did my great-grandmother get all these fancy things?

Sure, sure, she's a whole generation higher now. From now on, we won't call her Great-Grandma, we'll call her Mom.

Li Xianyu put on his T-shirt, the three large characters on his chest particularly eye-catching. Everyone, including the Ape God, looked at him with complicated expressions.

Oh no, I've stirred up trouble with my own people! Li Xianyu quickly put on his tracksuit.

The convoy stretched all the way to the end of the road, with most of the cars empty. Occasionally, a few people would sit inside listening to music or smoking with the windows open, and they would immediately become very alert and watch people closely as they passed by.

"Tch, Baoze's people are joining in the fun too."

"Damn, is this the Peerless Battle Soul? It seems the news was true, the demonic cultivator's treasure really is here."

"The leader is the Ape God, and the Peerless Battle Soul is also there. Baoze is determined to get the Demonic Treasure."

"Hey, there are quite a few monsters and demons here this time, each showing off their unique abilities. Baoze might not be able to gain any advantage."

"Let's just join in the fun outside."

Judging from their tone, even those blood descendants who were just there to watch seemed to be full of resentment and hostility towards Baoze's involvement in the matter.

After walking for a while, the number of cars decreased, the road narrowed, and the rolling mountains came into view. Passing through a forest, a loud buzzing sound suddenly rang out, and a green cloud burst out from the forest, sweeping over everyone.

Li Xianyu looked closely and saw that it was a group of flying insects, shaped like mosquitoes, with ferocious mouthparts.

Liu Kongchao was startled. Without saying a word, he unzipped Xia Xiaoxue's backpack, curled himself into a ball, and shrunk inside. He even pulled the zipper back on with a "rip".

One of the vanguard team members stepped forward, took a deep breath, and the next moment, his mouth was like a flamethrower, the scorching heat sweeping over the swarm of insects and burning the green cloud into charcoal.

This person's superpower is the same as the fire-breathing child. Li Xianyu pulled Liu Kongchao out of Xia Xiaoxue's backpack, and he actually turned into a "basketball". Of course, the mass would not change, but the tentacles were very elastic. Li Xianyu stabbed two fingers hard into Liu Kongchao's body, leaving two deep pits, which bounced flat a few seconds later.

Li Xianyu said in a low voice, "Old Liu, actually there are many aspects of your special ability that are worth exploring."

Liu Kongchao sprang back to his original position, landed, and asked, "How do we develop it?"

Li Xianyu didn't answer, but gestured for him to use his supernatural ability. He forcefully grabbed a piece of flesh from his stomach and poked a hole in it. "As a man, you should understand."

Liu Kongchao stared at him blankly: "Suddenly I can't look at my family's special ability the same way anymore."

Xia Xiaoxue's eyes lit up: "You're an expert! After what Salty Fish said, I also have a bold idea."

Liu Kongchao's face turned pale: "I don't want to hear it, please don't say it."

Xia Xiaoxue: "Every man would want to hear this, you'll regret it."

"Then tell me about it?"

"Your superpower is like Play-Doh," Xia Xiaoxue whispered. "You have absolutely no need to envy him. If you're not born with it, you can make up for it later."

She gestured towards Li Xianyu with her lips.

Liu Kongchao was deathly pale: "You, are you all devils?"

How can I face my superpowers and my family's bloodline in the future?

With just a few words, they ruined me.

Thunder War Maiden discreetly observed Ape God and discovered that this S-rank master's face was twitching the entire time. This extraordinary master, who had attained enlightenment through unorthodox means, had probably never led a team with such an unpredictable style before.

They might already be internally furious and ready to flip the table.

During their half-hour journey, they encountered six attacks, none of them particularly fierce, and none of the attackers showed themselves. They saw several corpses along the way, indicating the traps weren't aimed at them. It seemed more like a test left by those who had arrived earlier; if you passed, you were qualified to compete with them for the treasure; if you failed, you'd better leave your life here.

It also implies eliminating competitors; those who have already entered the mountains are probably happy to leave some tricks along the way to trap those who come later.

Several of the attacks were dealt with by Li Xianyu. As they were crossing a cliff, crossbow bolts hidden in the cliff face suddenly shot out, their trigger clicks particularly penetrating. Li Xianyu had to spit twelve times to knock them down.

"You Mengyu took out her phone, looked at the map, pointed to the low hill in front of her, and said crisply, "We'll reach our destination after we turn over that hill."

The group successfully rounded the low hill without encountering any further attacks, but what they saw next was quite unexpected.

Ahead lay a valley, bisected by a winding stream. No fewer than two hundred Bloodline members had gathered within the valley, while on the steep slopes and cliffs on either side, many more Bloodline members stood scattered about, looking down upon the newcomers entering the valley.

These are still the visible bloodlines. Night has fallen, and the shadows in the mountains and forests are looming. No one knows how many masters are hidden in the surrounding woods.

"As we expected, we won't be able to get into the demon's treasure trove anytime soon," one of the team members said.

"Is this why the sorcerer made the address public?" another team member said.

Upon realizing that the newcomer was from Baoze, the blood descendants in the valley reacted with varying expressions, most of them looking disgusted.

"Tsk, these bastards are here too."

"They're already so rich, with countless magical artifacts and treasures, yet they still come to steal our things."

"Are you trying to kill any independent cultivators? This is outrageous!"

"Holy crap... the Peerless Warrior has arrived too."

"Interesting, it seems quite a few experts have come this time."

In a small group, someone suddenly said, "Young Master Lun, look who's that?"

The young man, referred to as Young Master Lun, turned his head and caught sight of the leading Ape God. He frowned warily, and when he saw the petite and charming young women registered with various families, his pupils constricted slightly. But when he saw the long-legged beauty beside Li Xianyu, a frivolous and strange smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Tsk tsk, cousin."
