I have the best bloodline

Fearing they would starve to death if they ate too slowly, they wanted to reach the state of short-term fasting, which required the Golden Core realm.

"Hello, could you tell me where Coast Tea House is?"

Su Yan followed the example of other cultivators, flying at low altitudes to the coast. After landing, he deliberately sought out a female cultivator and used his handsome and cute appearance to ask her for the address of the coastal teahouse.

Are you here in the seaside city for sightseeing?

The female cultivator, with darker skin, wearing shorts and something resembling a sports bra, noticed the unusually fair-skinned cultivator by the sea and immediately inquired with interest, "So young, I didn't expect you to enjoy participating in gambling!"

"Betting odds?"

Su Yan looked at the female cultivator, puzzled. "Didn't the dean say it was a teahouse? How did it turn into a casino?"

"I'm not sure, I'm just looking for someone."

"Looking for a gambling elder? Sure, come with me, I just came up from the sea and was ready to gamble a bit."

"Seeking truth by the sea, what about you?"

"Just call me Xiaobai."

Chapter 248 Strange Tales from the Coast

"Why don't you change your clothes too? Your current attire looks rather strange here."

The hermit seeking truth led Su Yan to an area located in the southwest corner outside the coastal city, about two miles from the actual coastline. There were no luxurious or tall buildings here, only a pavilion.

The Coastal Tea House occupies about three acres of land. The ground is just ordinary hardened sand, which can be seen as being sculpted by an earth element cultivator in three minutes. Furthermore, the sunshade is made of dilapidated wood. Su Yan even noticed that there were holes in the roof. The shopkeeper also used a few coconut leaves as a perfunctory shade.

If it weren't for the large number of coconut trees planted outside the Coastal Tea House, Su Yan felt that a typhoon would have smashed the Coastal Tea House in front of him to pieces.

Is there something wrong with my clothes?

Su Yan glanced down at her clothes. They were all white with blue accents on the cuffs and hem, and there was a layer of gauze over them for protection against stains. There was nothing particularly strange about them; they were just ordinary clothes.

"There's no problem, it's just that it's very different from what we have here. When you go to the teahouse, you might get mocked by some old scoundrels."

Seeking Truth in the Sea led Su Yan deeper into the forest. As they passed through the coconut grove, Su Yan raised his hand and punched a coconut tree trunk, causing the tree to shake violently until two old coconuts fell from the tree.

Mihai Sanren caught the two coconuts and squeezed them, using her power to blend the coconut meat and juice into a very rich, sweet, white coconut milk. She handed one to Su Yan, broke one open herself, and drank it to quench her thirst.

Su Yan thought for a moment, then took out a decorative oiled paper umbrella from his storage ring, tore off a piece of the umbrella paper, rolled it into a straw, inserted it into the brown old coconut, and started drinking.

Unlike young coconuts, mature coconuts have a layer of very prickly hairs on their surface. While you won't get hurt if you kiss one, you'll inevitably end up with a mouthful of these hairs when you're sucking out the coconut milk.

"He really is a refined young master from a wealthy family," Mi Hai Sanren exclaimed, his face a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

Su Yan's clothes and appearance looked expensive, and his words and actions made him look like a nobleman, a master, or a cultivator from an academy.

It's only because I, your sister, don't lack spirit stones. Otherwise, a rich kid like you in our coastal city would need to be kidnapped and extorted from your family first, then sent to a brothel to work illegally, and finally sold to the Demon Sect after we receive the ransom.

Su Yan's overly luxurious attire, coupled with his youthful appearance, perfectly suited the tastes of those older women.

Some desperately poor cultivators from the coastal city would also earn some extra money while fishing at sea, and these cultivators usually targeted cultivators from other places to fleece.

As for the local impoverished and crazy cultivators, they would not touch them, for fear of provoking retaliation from the local clan forces.

"Ton ton ton—"

The Coastal Tea House doesn't have a proper door. Under the eaves, besides the load-bearing pillars, there are rows of railings surrounding the tea house. The gaps are the doors, and regular customers usually climb over the railings to enter.

Su Yan followed the Hermit Seeking the Sea as he climbed over the wall. Inside, three or five tables of cultivators sat at square tables, and the teahouse was filled with demonic energy. Su Yan glanced back at the outer railings of the teahouse and immediately understood their purpose.

At one of the tables, a female sea creature dressed in extremely revealing humanoid clothing was holding a large jar that emitted a chill, gulping down ice water.

"That table over there is full of big fish; don't mess with them unless you want to."

Seeing Su Yan standing motionless, her gaze fixed on a female cultivator sitting at a table, clad only in a few pieces of starfish for covering her modesty, drinking water to quench her thirst, the Hermit of Seeking the Sea looked at Su Yan with a comical smile and nudged her, asking:

"Have you never seen anything this big before?"

"It's not that I'm unworldly, I'm just curious."

Su Yan looked around for a while before turning his gaze away. The table was mostly filled with female sea beast demons. They must have come ashore in groups of three or five. However, Su Yan had never actually seen any sea beasts come ashore to drink water.

"What's so strange about that?"

The Hermit of the Sea casually raised his hand, patted his chest, and said, "All the sea beasts and demons that use this place to raise their offspring will come ashore to find a teahouse to drink water and quench their thirst."

Fish such as big fish, lazy fish, sea turtles, and seals are all frequent visitors to the coastal teahouses.

The "big fish" that Mi Hai Sanren mentioned, in Su Yan's words, refers to whales, including beluga whales, killer whales, and blue whales.

The group of giant whale demons were chugging ice water to quench their thirst.

Unlike other sea creatures, the demon race among sea creatures possesses mammalian characteristics. They can only obtain very little fresh water through hunting and body transformation. If they had no way to obtain fresh water from the sea in the past, that would be one thing, but they could only increase their hunting to obtain more fresh water.

However, since the demon race can now transform into human form and go ashore, a few copper coins can buy them a full meal, and even ice water. Naturally, they are unwilling to chase schools of fish for several kilometers in the sea for a little fresh water.

It's just a matter of a few copper coins, why make such a fuss?

Therefore, in seaside teahouses, those dressed as starfish or not dressed at all are basically mammals that have come ashore to drink fresh water when they are thirsty in the sea.

"There is no milk to drink."

Su Yan's gaze caught the attention of the big fish. The big fish realized that Su Yan also recognized his demon race identity and even knew that Su Yan should be a land demon beast cub. Therefore, it resolutely rejected the strange look he was giving.

"I've quit."

Three black lines appeared on Su Yan's forehead. He hesitated for a long time before slowly uttering two words.

The demon race's sharp words still hold a significant advantage.

Although the demon cultivators complained that she had just stopped breastfeeding and was already working to support her family, Su Yan retorted that she had really been weaned for over ten years and that she ate meat and rice regularly and didn't need to drink milk.

"Never mind them, come and see if your gambling elders are here."

Mi Hai Sanren pulled Su Yan from the edge of the teahouse to the inside, and they arrived at a long table. Under the watchful eye of the waiter, Mi Hai Sanren placed three jin of spirit stones on a betting table with the words "Undersea Qilin" written on it.

Corresponding to the underwater Qilin is a cultivator known as the underwater Fierce Rabbit.

"They must be cultivators, right?" Su Yan wasn't quite sure, but he could still tell that a battle or game was taking place here.

The hermit of the sea believes the sea monster will win, but Su Yan thinks the sea rabbit will win big.

"Look, that group of cultivators are watching the battle. See if your elders are among them?"

The hermit of the sea raised his hand and pointed to a group of people on the beach outside the teahouse. They were watching two humanoid creatures wielding weapons duel.

"That's a sea hare?"

Su Yan walked closer and realized that the two sea beasts preparing to fight were not holding any divine weapons at all.

They are holding their "weapons," ready to stab their opponents. Once the "weapons" are inserted, the loser will become a female beast and "bear children"!

"Sea hare? The name is quite fitting. Its two long, upright ears do resemble those of a rabbit. However, their species is called Sea Hare, a hermaphroditic sea creature. They are currently engaged in a spring breeding duel."

As the hermit of the sea explained to Su Yan, he casually asked:

"So, have you found your elders yet?"

Chapter 249 Fellow Daoist Peiyan

"hiss"

Compared to searching for the predecessors of the Weapon Sect, Su Yan focused most of his attention on the battle between the sea slugs.

It's not hard to find cultivators from the Weapon Sect. As long as you find a cultivator whose arm is thicker than your waist, then even if they are not from the Weapon Sect lineage, they are still related to the Weapon Sect.

The male cultivators at the coastal teahouse were all dressed in the same style: open-front, sleeveless, and bare-chested clothing. Su Yan immediately spotted a cultivator who fit the characteristics of a disciple of the Weapon Sect.

Several muscular men, each over two meters tall, ignored Su Yan beside them, their eyes glued to the two sea hares engaged in a fierce battle.

Two sea hares stood facing each other on the beach, holding weapons that grew from their palms, their rabbit ears standing up high on their foreheads, as if temporarily displaying their power.

Neither of them uttered a single word. In the duel of procreation, all words are pale and meaningless; only the unsheathed blades in their hands are worthy of trust.

The two humanoid sea hares trembled slightly, their sharp eyes fixed on each other's every move, just like two peerless sword immortals searching for the enemy's weakness, and once they found it, they would slay the invading enemy with a single sword strike.

"Chong-"

The opening in its body was fleeting, and the Deep Sea Rabbit's sword pierced straight through like a dragon, directly breaking the blade in the Deep Sea Qilin's hand. Pale blue blood splattered in the air. The Deep Sea Qilin was shocked to see this, never expecting the Deep Sea Rabbit to be so ferocious.

He tried to change tactics and counterattack from the side, but the struggle for survival and reproduction among the Hai Shu tribe was cruel and extremely deadly.

The straight sword of the Deep-Sea Rabbit transformed into a flexible sword in the instant his body shifted, following closely and stabbing straight into his chest. The Deep-Sea Qilin stared in disbelief at the cold-faced Deep-Sea Rabbit:

"you"

The sea unicorn's rough voice gradually softened, becoming gentle and high-pitched. She stammered "you" for a long time but still couldn't utter a complete sentence, seemingly still incredulous at her defeat.

"A fierce name is meaningless." The sea hare chuckled, raised its hand to embrace the child's mother, and forcefully pressed her head to its shoulder, laughing:

"The duel is over. Now tell me, what style of new house do you want? I'll build it for you."

"Ugh. How did I lose?" The sea creature looked utterly dejected.

"hiss"

The two sea creatures, now lovers, finally became husband and wife, embracing and exchanging vows for the future in public. However, the male cultivators who had been watching the battle from the edge of the coastal teahouse couldn't help but gasp in pain when they saw the sea creatures break the underwater Qilin weapon.

Before the parties involved could say anything, a sense of phantom pain lingered in the hearts of the onlookers.

"Hiss."

When Su Yan saw the blue blood flying everywhere, he subconsciously squeezed his legs together and his eyes twitched slightly. The way the sea hare reproduced made him open his eyes.

Under the watchful eyes of the group, the underwater rabbit embraced the underwater unicorn and kissed it, then went directly to the betting table in the teahouse to ask the waiter for spirit stones to start a new life.

The battle between the sea hares was originally meant to be a quiet, secluded place, not something to be openly displayed. However, the coastal teahouse was willing to share money with the sea hares that performed in public.

The Coastal Tea House coveted the entertainment value of the sea hare, while the sea hare coveted the resettlement allowance offered by the Coastal Tea House.

After receiving his share of the gambling profits from Xiao Er, the sea hare took his newlywed wife and left, planning to go to the city to do some shopping before returning to the seabed to buy a mansion and begin their shameless and blissful newlywed life.

A group of onlookers were left clutching their groins, their faces contorted in pain as they watched the two sea hares.

"Sister Mihai, why are you covering it up?"

After watching the two sea hares leave, Su Yan noticed that the Hermit of the Sea beside him also had a pained expression on his face, clutching his crotch.
