Author’s Words:

Hu Xiaoyue felt the air more chilly and dangerous, he slowly raised up his head to see Yanzhi looking at him with dangerous eyes and if looks could kill he’d probably perish without even knowing how.
"Master that child is really inn..." he stopped in his words his eyes complicated. Yanzhi continued to stare at him but his grip on Shan Xing’s neck never loosen and neither did it tighten. It was as if he was giving Hu Xiaoyue a little time to explain himself before the child’s airway would be crushed, for the child to be left to live it seemed that it all depended on Hu Xiaoyue’s explanation.
Hu Xiaoyue noticed that too, so he quickly composed his words in his mind and relayed to him. "Master I owe him my life. He’s not the reason why I am this way, although he saved me for this purpose but I still owe him my life and this is my way of repaying him. Please master let him go, this child I owe him my gratitude and..."
"Gratitude?" Yanzhi sneered and tsked as he threw the body in his hands away. Shan Xing gasped desperately and breathing heavily. Hu Xiaoyue wanted to go over to Shan Xing and see how he was doing but he didn’t dare to, he knew that if he really took such action Yanzhi will really kill Shan Xing. "Get out of here and never look for me again!" Hu Xiaoyue said his words devoid of warmth. Shan Xing’s head was mushy and couldn’t tell reality, he desperately wanted to get away from Yanzhi. He scurried out of there in a hurry without looking back and disappeared from there.
"You’ve become unsightly." Yanzhi sneered and was disgusted. But he still took out some bottles from his space and threw them at him, looking at Hu Xiaoyue who looked like he would crumble completely at any minute he couldn’t help but be angry again and was in a little complicated mood. Yanzhi was a really cold person who wouldn’t normally bother about this, but the one in front of him was a demonic beast who should be said was half raised by him. He had heard his continuous desperate prayers to him for a while now, but he never answered because he had always believed that the strong eat the weak and that has always been how demonic beasts and cultivators lived. Even though Hu Xiaoyue wasn’t of his species but all demonic beasts revered him as their Deity. He was their god and protector and so he would sometimes offer a little help to them and those who caught his interest he kept them. But now seeing Hu Xiaoyue broken in this way in a world full of weak cultivators. In the world of cultivators the human cultivators have always been envious of demonic beasts who are naturally knowledgeable in cultivation. Demonic beasts have always been stronger than human cultivators so because of that human cultivators became greedy and started hunting demonic beasts for their beast cores which can assist in their cultivation, the skin of demonic beasts and blood aren’t even spared since those can be used as refining materials. Since then it has always been that way, the strong survive and the weak is eaten. Demonic beasts in the fight of strength were naturally stronger but when it came to schemes and wits they were weak in that aspects. Demonic beasts will only solve their problems in the fights of power and strength, they did not have that scheming senses of the humans.
For a moment Yanzhi lamented on a lot of things. Hu Xiaoyue who took all the pills thrown to him felt his body which he had thought would never heal again slowly became alive. He was a little shock, he had always revered Yanzhi as a god that could create a lot of miracles, but he couldn’t even begin to fathom Yanzhi’s strength at all. His eyes which looked to be dead had a little light in them. He wasn’t an ungrateful person who would rather blame Yanzhi for not coming early to save his clansmen. Yanzhi didn’t owe him anything, he was very aware of that, yet Yanzhi was the one who helped him to be who he was. And his fall was of his own, if he just hadn’t gotten involved with the humans then what happened wouldn’t have happened.
"You are weak to fall this way in the hands of those insignificant humans." Yanzhi’s words were like daggers cutting at his heart. But Hu Xiaoyue couldn’t refute his words. Being in the presence of Yanzhi showed his weakness and grievance which he had been holding for long were revealed as his eyes turned red and his tears fell. Hu Xiaoyue quickly told Yanzhi about the events which had took place and how he ended up like this. After listening Yanzhi sneered angrily "humans have their own lives and beasts have theirs. Why involve yourself with humans?" Hu Xiaoyue was quiet as he was scolded and listened to lessons from Yanzhi.
Yanzhi had a headache, he only came to see what was wrong with Hu Xiaoyue who prayed desperately to him. But after listening to the whole story he didn’t think it was best to leave Hu Xiaoyue on his own. The enlightened beasts here are ignorant of the teachings in the cultivation world! "Follow me." he simple that and turned around walking out of the cave.
