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

A heavy rain fell in the afternoon. The originally clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, and the wind whipped the green trees in the community to shake violently. Then, the ink-like rain poured down, accompanied by rumbling thunder, and the whole world was blurred in the rain.

Two hours later, the wind stopped and the rain ceased, bringing a touch of coolness to the sweltering summer.

Grandma thought today was a good day for outdoor activities and wanted to test her great-grandson's stamina, so she changed her short pajamas, which were too short for her thighs, into athletic pants and took her great-grandson and Sanwu out together.

The three of them ran a lap around the neighborhood, then ran and ran along the main road...

Five kilometers later, Li Xianyu was panting, her voice soft and weak, her legs trembling as she slumped: "Yamete, yamete, slow down and wait for me..."

Ever since a young and beautiful great-grandmother moved into his house, his health has been deteriorating, and sometimes he even sees double when looking at his phone.

Grandma and Sanwu ran forward expressionlessly. When Li Xianyu saw that they ignored him, he simply stopped walking. Grandma frowned, turned back, and made a threatening gesture of pouting and sucking in her breath.

Li Xianyu's face paled instantly. She gritted her teeth and strode after him.

After ten kilometers, Li Xianyu was not only exhausted, but also pale and squatted on the roadside green belt, almost vomiting bile.

"You're so useless, you can't even move a few times." The great-grandmother looked at her great-grandson with disdain.

"If you hadn't drained my body, would I be like this?" Li Xianyu replied breathlessly.

He can't be said to be in great physical condition, but he's at the age where he has the most energy, and he can still manage to walk ten kilometers. It's just that he's been feeling really weak these past few days.

"I told you not to practice your internal energy properly, I told you not to train your body properly," Grandma scolded.

"Is it too late for me to start practicing Qi now?" Li Xianyu said. "Ever since the Black Water Spirit Pearl parasitized my body, I've felt weak and lacking energy every day. My ancestors for generations were ruined by you."

These words seemed to have touched a nerve with the great-grandmother, who angrily kicked Li Xianyu's buttocks hard: "Believe it or not, I'll beat you to death, you unfilial descendant."

The three remained expressionless throughout the entire process.

My great-grandmother once said that if a child misbehaves, a beating is enough; beating him to death is going too far.

She doesn't care as long as the person doesn't die.

Li Xianyu may boast with words, but he can only talk. He can't beat his great-grandmother in a fight, and he's not as senior as her. He can only maintain his dignity by talking.

"Take it slow." Li Xianyu stood up, supporting his back. "Too much of a good thing is bad. I can't become an expert in just a few days. Even the most exaggerated author couldn't write such a plot."

The way of the kidneys is to reduce excess and supplement deficiency. Therefore, deficiency overcomes excess, and insufficiency overcomes excess.

This statement tells us that kidney deficiency is the right way for men to achieve their goals.

Cultivating Qi and physical strength are not things that can be accomplished overnight. For now, the only way for him to get rid of his current weak state is to wait until he awakens.

They found a park; it had just rained and there weren't many people. The great-grandmother decided to teach her great-grandson a few self-defense moves. But the results weren't ideal. Li Xianyu, a weak young man who could break his back just by bending over to touch his toes, was clearly past the age for martial arts. He had to learn simple moves several times, his posture was stiff, his punches were weak, and sometimes he would even pull on his arm muscles.

"It's still no use. You didn't lay a solid foundation from a young age, and now it's too late. We can only wait for you to awaken," Grandma said, frowning.

After awakening, the dormant enlightenment within the body is revived, and every cell is transformed, just like the marrow cleansing in martial arts novels.

"I feel like I'd rather just get a monthly pass at a yoga studio and then come back to learn martial arts from you, Great-Grandma," Li Xianyu said, shaking his arm.

"Yoga..." The great-grandmother was stunned for a moment: "Ancient Indian yoga for body cultivation? That's not something you can just learn whenever you want."

"Ancient Yoga?" Li Xianyu asked in return.

"A secret method of cultivating physical strength in India."

"Oh, that's different from what I said. Nowadays, yoga and tai chi are the same. The former has become a shaping exercise, and the latter has become a fitness exercise," Li Xianyu said. Then he remembered a hero who practiced yoga to pursue a yoga teacher. After mastering yoga, he suddenly didn't need a girlfriend anymore.

"Speaking of exercising the kidneys, something suddenly came to mind," Sanwu said seriously.

Li Xianyu and his great-grandmother turned around at the same time: "What is it?"

Sanwu said, "The big boss has a very powerful Qi cultivation method, which is specifically for training the kidneys, and it is called 'The Times Are Calling'."

"The times are calling? Just from the name, it sounds unreliable. It's not even as good as my 'The name is so cool I've forgotten how to pronounce it' capsule." Li Xianyu was skeptical.

"The big boss said it's very powerful," Sanwu said.

Li Xianyu thought for a moment, and figured that since it was the cultivation manual of CEO Baoze, it might truly be something extraordinary, so he asked, "How do I obtain it?"

Sanwu shook his head: "I don't know. It's the boss's secret technique, and he doesn't pass it on to outsiders."

Li Xianyu said disappointedly, "It's like saying nothing at all."

If a set of Qi cultivation techniques could cure the Li family's ancestral kidney deficiency, then the ancestors wouldn't have died young.

"I just don't know when I'll be able to awaken." Li Xianyu sighed.

There is no fixed posture for the awakening of bloodline. Some people awaken when they are in the splits. Anyway, there are all sorts of postures.

I took two idiots to Pizza Hut for dinner last night. After getting home, I just lay on the bed like a corpse, overwhelmed by exhaustion and sore thigh muscles.

In a daze, he heard the sound of the computer shutting down, the chair sliding, then light footsteps leaving the living room, and finally the sound of the door closing.

Grandma went back to her room to sleep.

When you're too tired, you can't sleep well. He lay on the sofa in a daze, feeling like he was floating in the void, half-awake and half-asleep.

Oh no, I forgot to take my capsules today.

Half asleep and half awake, he remembered that he hadn't taken his medicine on time that night, and he immediately felt very anxious.

If you miss one dose of medicine, all three days' worth of medicine will be wasted.

Li Xianyu can't live without capsules now, just like an addict can't live without drugs.

......

"Li Xianyu, Li Xianyu, Li Xianyu..."

It seemed like someone was calling his name in the darkness.

Is it a dream, or a hallucination?

"No, someone is calling me," Li Xianyu thought groggily.

"Li Xianyu..."

The voice sounded anxious, its pace quickening as if it desperately wanted to find him.

That sounds so familiar... is it my sister's voice?

After this thought came to him, he felt himself sit up on the sofa, barefoot, and walk step by step out of the living room.

How come my sister's voice is here?

Li Xianyu felt a sense of doubt.

The sound seemed to possess a strange magic, drawing him to follow it.

"Click!"

In the darkness, the sound of a door lock clicking open.

The security door opened, revealing a dark red night sky. In this mixed-use building, one can see the sky and distant scenery right outside the door. The corridor is made of iron railings, making it intimidating for those with a fear of heights to approach its outer edge.

The corridor lights were dim, and Li Xianyu saw a beautiful figure standing quietly at the end of the long corridor. Just by looking at the outline of her figure, he knew she was a beauty.

elder sister?

Li Xianyu walked over in a daze.

It was late at night, and there was no one in the dimly lit corridor. There was a surveillance camera directly opposite the elevator entrance. If the property management took a look at the surveillance footage on the 18th floor, they would find that Li Xianyu was the only person in the entire corridor. He walked slowly towards the other end of the corridor with mechanical steps.

As he passed each household, the overhead light would go out, filling the entire corridor with a sinister and terrifying atmosphere.
