Chapter 663: 633_2
“You just went up to the hill to make out in your car, right? Too embarrassed to admit it? If you’re bold enough to do it, what’s there to fear?” Xiaoqian spoke casually.
Li Tianjiao’s face turned red.
“Alright, it’s fine. You’re not so kind of monster.” Ye Tian laughed heartily, continuing with a serious tone to comfort Li Tianjiao.
“But why…”
“There is no why. Li, do you know there are many things in this world that we just can’t explain? What you’re experiencing is one of those things, so don’t worry. It’s just a perk given to you by the old man upstairs when he created you.”
“But, I don’t want this kind of perk.” Li Tianjiao just wanted to be an ordinary person, living under his father’s halo.
“Even if you have it now, you’re still an ordinary person. Isn’t it good to be unhard?” asked Ye Tian.
“I just want to be the most ordinary kind of person.”
“You can’t give it up, and maybe the heavens intend for you to achieve great things. You need to figure this out on your own.” Ye Tian said no more, knowing it was futile to go on.
Li Tianjiao looked at Ye Tian, then at Xiaoqian, and said carefully,
“Is it possible that you two also have such abilities?”
“We don’t, but we know so people do. Of course, among them are both good and bad. If you can keep yourself well-hidden, that’s enough. But if one day you are indeed exploited by the bad ones, I’m afraid that won’t end well.”
Ye Tian worried about this the most. A person who can’t be injured is much better off than soone like Ling Rong, who was artificially altered. If exploited, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Xiaoqian had an indifferent attitude; she had seen too much. People always dream about being extraordinary, but when they truly beco different, it might terrify them.
Blindly following others is probably how it is. Public opinion can easily kill soone!
Regardless of the process, for now, Li Tianjiao was learning from Ye Tian.
Li Tianjiao’s physical fitness was not up to par. Just thinking about sparring with himself for five minutes, and it wasn’t even a match, but him rely just beating himself up, and already gasping for breath, how can this be alright.
Ye Tian pondered how he could thoroughly transform Li Tianjiao in the shortest amount of ti.
Fortunately, the Sixth Group didn’t have much going on recently, only Qin Chuan and Fatty Xu would sotis bother Ye Tian. Actually, Qin Chuan wasn’t even a bother; he would just occasionally give Ye Tian a condescending look.
Ye Tian was very strict with Li Tianjiao; if a move was unsatisfactory or if ti was over, he would be punished to do it ten tis more. The high-intensity training turned Li Tianjiao’s pale skin to a healthy wheat color.
Xiaoqian usually just watched from the side as if deep in thought, her brows sotis deeply furrowed, which made Ye Tian uncomfortable.
Life was calm now, Ye Tian went to work as usual and after work would train Li Tianjiao intensively, with Xiaoqian obediently by their side.
Sotis Ye Tian would wonder if he would have lived such a peaceful life if that incident had never happened.
People always say that even the heavens can’t stand such a life.
Indeed, a disturbing event occurred in Suhe City in the south. In the past week, several human skulls with bloodstains, as if gnawed on by sothing, were found in garbage bins.
This kind of news flooded the television channels.
“Again with this, can’t I just enjoy my cartoons in peace?” Xiaoqian frowned.
“People nowadays are sowhat twisted, how can they consu human flesh? Although in ancient tis of war, there was cannibalism, the situation isn’t nearly as dire now, is it?” Ye Tian watched the pixelated image on the television, but it still exuded a sinister vibe.
“What kind of person is twisted? It wasn’t done by a person, but eaten by animals.” Xiaoqian continued flipping channels coolly, trying to find a program she liked.
“What did you say?” Ye Tian was startled.
“What’s wrong?” Xiaoqian turned her head, not understanding why Ye Tian was so surprised, “Actually, it’s not accurate to say animals. It should be so kind of demon, I guess.”
“Demons?” Ye Tian echoed Xiaoqian’s words like a parrot.
“Yeah. You don’t believe ? Even if I can’t catch demons or anything, I’ve seen them, okay?” Xiaoqian earnestly tried to convince Ye Tian that she was not mistaken.
Ye Tian had a different point of view than Xiaoqian. Whether it was immortals or demons, he believed in them, but why were so many strange things happening now? Demons? They used to never appear. Or is soone now indulging these peculiar beings?
“Xiaoqian, would ordinary demons just show up randomly?”
“They wouldn’t just co out wilfully. Demons have high standards for where they live. Look at the pollution where we are now; they hate it and prefer deep mountains and old forests. But…” Xiaoqian’s eyes shifted and then stopped.
“But what?” Ye Tian pressed.
“There’s always sothing they like in this world.”
“What is it that they like?”
“What they like is us.”
“Us?” Ye Tian was puzzled.
“They like to eat our flesh. Aren’t humans supposed to be the wisest of all creatures? Of course, demons like to eat us, otherwise why do you think so many bones appear?”
Xiaoqian stopped talking as she found a TV show she liked, and Ye Tian started to space out.
The next day, Zhang Liang notified Ye Tian and Fatty Xu to head to Suhe City.
“Captain Ye, this ti we work together,” Fatty Xu said warmly, wrapping an arm around Ye Tian’s shoulder.
To Ye Tian, it felt like a mass of greasy fat was coming at him—just the thought seed slimy.
“Of course, I’m with you. You are Heavenly Master Zhang’s distinguished disciple. For catching demons, naturally, you should take the lead.” Ye Tian didn’t hold back on the flattery.
Nonsense, what had he faced before? At least he knew sothing about that, but he knew absolutely nothing about demons. Is it possible that he needed a Peach Wood Sword or sothing similar for protection?
“Don’t worry, I wouldn’t let you charge into battle!” Fatty Xu said with righteousness.
“Speaking of which, Fatty Xu, shouldn’t you give a Spirit Talisman or sothing? Like the one you used to kill Liu Zhiming. Hook up,” Ye Tian cajoled with a flattering smile.
“You wish, you’re acting all innocent. Xiaoqian by your side is stronger than any Spirit Talisman!”
“Xiaoqian?” Ye Tian murmured to himself.
Soon, Fatty Xu, Ye Tian, and Xiaoqian set off for Suhe City.
Suhe City is a typical southern city, clearly much hotter than Huaizhou City in sumr, and practically everyone was living nocturnally.
During the day, the streets were deserted, with people only visible in the shade.
Although horrible murders had occurred frequently, Ye Tian thought people would be fearful to so extent, but upon actually arriving, it seed no one cared at all.
Suhe City was a newly erging city with its industry relatively developed, but on par with its industrial fa was its sex industry—a grey area, but the revenue it brought in was indeed substantial.
Because of this, even if a few people died, no one truly cared. The high number of transients made it impossible to find information, leaving those in charge of the law clueless about how to start their investigation.
“Should we co out at night?” Ye Tian asked Fatty Xu.
“Why do you think we should co out at night?” Fatty Xu inquired.
“Aren’t demons supposed to be afraid of sunlight?”
“You’ve really watched too many TV shows. Why would demons fear sunlight? They’re normal too. In their eyes, we might as well be demons. Ye Tian, you can’t discriminate against demons!” Fatty Xu said seriously.
