Chapter 56: Dongfang Xue's Request

  "Computer?" I was speechless, never expecting to hear such a modern term from the mouth of a human in the demon realm.

  "What's so surprising about that?" The green substance sneered: "All the demons are under our control, every year there are so many new demons entering the demon world, what kind of talent haven't we seen? Not to mention computers, now the demon world and the mortal world aren't much different. Our great elder's mount has long since been replaced with an SSS-level Mercedes-Benz. How about it? Are you interested in going to the demon world with me for a stroll? Maybe you'll fall in love with it and won't want to leave."

  The person in front of me, who is a green humanoid substance and my tour guide, enthusiastically recommends various scenic spots in the demon world to me, as if he can't wait to take me back there immediately.

  "No, no, I'd better not go. I hastily shook my head and refused, joking that going to the demon army for a trip was no joke, who knows if we can even come back? It's hard enough to cultivate to the spiritual realm, so it's better not to look for trouble again. If Qing'er achieves great success in the future, then maybe I'll consider it."

  "I'm not done with you yet, I still need to go catch that demon and bring it back to the demon realm." The green substance seemed to receive an order, listened attentively for a moment, then said seriously: "If you have any information about that demon, please inform our people. I don't think I need to tell you how much harm it can cause in the human world, do I?"

  I'm well aware of the harm that the demon tribe brings to ordinary humans. In the past, humans slaughtered demons, and demonic creatures carry demonic energy on their bodies. If a mortal interacts with a demonic creature, even if the creature doesn't intend to harm anyone, its demonic energy will unknowingly invade the mortal's body and devour their yang energy. As a result, the mortal will become physically weak. If they spend too much time interacting with demons, they'll eventually meet their demise. I suppose some demon must harbor deep hatred towards humans to sneak into the mortal realm.

  Actually, yin and yang are not about who is more powerful. The reason why monsters and humans together, the monster's yin energy will devour the human's yang energy, is because ordinary people's yang energy is generally not strong enough. So when they encounter a monster that is completely composed of yin energy, they naturally fall short. If one's yang energy is strong enough, then when encountering a monster, they won't be harmed by it, and may even counterattack and devour the monster's yin energy.

  I watched the demon clan's messenger leave and suddenly felt a bit of interest in the true nature of this demon clan. This was still my first time seeing a real person from the demon clan after all.

  Because I know that the true face of the demon clan is not like this, it was because of the strange appearance before, it's because the demon also has a shield on his body. This is because demons are a kind of demon after all, so when they come to the human world to do things, they need to add a special shield to prevent the scattered demon energy from hurting ordinary humans.

  I stood there for a while, staring in the direction that the demon clan member had left, before turning to leave as well. It was only then that I remembered the small, dark mark on Xiao Nan's brow. I wondered if the demon that had possessed Zi Yun was related to the escaped demon that the demon clan messenger had spoken of, but unfortunately it was now too late to ask.

  I shook my head, and I didn't take this matter to heart. After all, no matter where the demon attached to Xiaonan came from, it would be easy for me to eliminate that demon with my strength. Now the only thing to worry about is...

  "That silly girl, why doesn't she ever believe me? Do I have a deceitful face or something?" I exclaimed in frustration, gazing up at the sky.

  Early in the morning, I woke up from my sleep. In fact, I don't need to eat or sleep now. Every day, I only need to practice for a while and I can recover my lost vitality and physical strength. The reason why I still eat and sleep like ordinary people is that I want to try out the life of an ordinary person. Because the God of War has entrusted me to temper myself in the mortal world. To learn the knowledge of the mortal world.

  Thanks to the protection of my primordial energy, dust can't settle on me at all, which saves me the trouble of brushing and washing. After simply eating some fruit, I saw that it was already late, so I hurriedly activated my Wu Wei Heart Method, applied an invisibility technique to myself, and flew towards school.

  I landed in a secluded corner of the school and slowly dispersed my stealth technique, and after seeing that no one around me had noticed myself, I slowly walked towards my classroom.

  There are only a few minutes before class starts, and the classroom is still very lively. Classmates are gathered in twos and threes, whispering to each other, but I notice that several girls have obvious worried expressions on their faces. Moreover, I also notice that Xiaonan, who usually arrives at the classroom first, is not in the classroom.

  "What's going on?" Just as I was about to ask the classmate next to me, Dongfang Xue suddenly appeared out of nowhere and pulled me out of the classroom.

  "Xiao Nan suddenly fainted just now and has been sent to the hospital, should we go take a look?" Dongfang Xue said to me outside the classroom.

  "Has Xiaonan fainted?" I unconsciously repeated the words, and immediately understood that her demon possession symptoms were beginning to appear.

  When a person possessed by an evil spirit faints, it means that the yang energy in their body is too weak and can no longer support their physical form. Generally speaking, from the first time a possessed person faints to the time of death is not long, depending on their physical condition, about two to four days. In other words, within these few days, he must get the cooperation of Xiaonan, otherwise he can only watch as she disappears.

  It's actually quite simple to drive out the possessed demon, all I need to do is inject my vital energy into Xiaonan's body and expel all the demonic energy. However, this would cause a conflict between the vital energy and the demonic energy, plus Xiaonan's physical instincts would resist, which could result in her body being injured and leaving behind aftereffects. That's why I've been bothering Ziyun, hoping she can believe that she's really possessed by a demon, and cooperate with me fully to minimize the damage.

  "Hey, what are you thinking? I'm asking if you want to go see Xiaonan?" Dongfang Xue stretched out her finger and poked Chu Bai's nose, scolding him. And at this time, I had originally planned to go, but seeing Dongfang Xue being coy with me, I also got the urge to tease her.

  "She's your student, not mine, what am I supposed to do? And you're a cultivator too, can't you even handle one little demon?" I said indifferently.

  "You? How can you be like this? Didn't you promise me earlier that you would help me take a look?" Dongfang Xue said angrily.

  "Fine, I agreed, but I only agreed to take a look, didn't say I'd help with anything else." I retorted back, at this point our argument had already caught the attention of the students.

  "You... you..." Looking at Dongfang Xue, this beautiful teacher was already so angry that she couldn't speak, and I had also avenged her previous prank on me.

  "Alright, I'll go if you want me to, but you have to promise me one thing." I said after pretending to think for a moment.

  "Really? Tell me!" Dongfang Xue hastily asked upon hearing that there was a turn of events.

  "That's it... you're not allowed to fool me again in the future... and you have to convince Xiao Nan to cooperate with me." I said with a smile.

  "Are you kidding me?" Dongfang Xue heard what I said and obviously understood that I was kidding her.

  I sensed something was off in her tone and hastily said.

  "Alright, alright, I was just kidding earlier. I'll go with you after my class this afternoon." After saying that, she quickly slipped away, leaving Dongfang Xue standing there alone, thinking about what methods to use to persuade Xiao Nan, and it would be troublesome if she still remained stubborn.

  The afternoon class finally ended amidst the eager anticipation of everyone. When the professor announced the end of the class, the students in the class cheered and dispersed in a hurry. I then rushed to the supermarket near the school with Dongfang Xue, wanting to buy some fruit and snacks to take to the hospital as a token of our concern.

  After the craziest shopping spree ever, Dongfang Xue and I hugged our big and small bags and took a taxi straight to the hospital.

  The hospital where Xiaonan is located is not far from school, and it takes a taxi ride of fifteen minutes to get there.

  Because I only had a card that Xue Er gave me, I had to let Dong Fang Xue pay for the taxi fare. After getting off the taxi, I followed closely behind Dong Fang Xue and walked into the hospital with her.

  Dongfang Xue seemed to have already found out which ward Xiaonan was in, so as soon as we entered the hospital, she took me straight to the private intensive care unit on the third floor without any hesitation.

  He walked to room 301 and knocked gently on the door. A slightly aged male voice immediately responded, "Come in."

  Dongfang Xue didn't hesitate either, pushing open the door and walking in. I had no choice but to follow closely behind her.

  "Uncle Wang, Auntie Wang."

  Dongfang Xue put down the things in her hand on the side table, nodded to greet the man and woman sitting beside the hospital bed, and I also took the opportunity to take a closer look at these two people.

  The man was about fifty years old, slightly chubby, with a prosperous belly that indicated his owner lived a life of luxury and leisure. He wore gold-rimmed glasses, which added to his scholarly air. Sitting next to him was a middle-aged woman in her forties, who seemed well-maintained despite having entered middle age, still maintaining a good figure, and between her eyebrows, one could vaguely see the appearance of her youth.

  "They are Wang Nan's parents." Dongfang Xue introduced to me, then turned to Wang Nan's father and said: "Uncle Wang, this is our class's new student Ao Tian, he is also Xiao Nan's good friend."

  Wang Nan's father looked me up and down with a scrutinizing gaze, I hastily bowed to show respect.

  After a while, Wang Nan's father nodded and smiled: "The young man is quite spirited, please sit down."

  They sat down awkwardly, while Dongfang Xue went to chat with Wang Nan's mother and asked about Wang Nan's condition. However, it seemed that the hospital said that Xiaonan was fine.

  When I heard this, I secretly thought to myself that it's normal for the hospital to say there's no illness. This is something that medicine can't explain. If the hospital could diagnose an illness, that would be strange.
