The very idea that Yun'er wasn't human... Utter such a thing carelessly, and it could be a death sentence.
Dong Qi looked at Chu Hao and said, "This matter is highly confidential. I, Dong Qi, once swore a blood oath never to reveal it to outsiders. If necessary, I would only tell Yun'er. So please, My Lord, would you step aside for a mont?"
A blood oath, especially for soone from the Yin and Yang Realm, was extrely serious. Breaking it could lead to torture by the oath itself.
Chu Hao watched him; Dong Qi appeared a bit nervous. Qiu Yun'er stuck out her tongue and said, "Brother Chu Hao, please step aside for a mont. Yun'er will tell you afterwards."
"Okay," Chu Hao agreed and left.
In the room, only Dong Qi and Yun'er remained. After about half a Shichen, Yun'er finally erged, looking puzzled and somber.
Seeing her state, Chu Hao asked, "Yun'er, what's going on?"
Qiu Yun'er said incredulously, "Uncle Dong Qi said that I... I am a descendant of the Demon Emperor."
A descendant of the Demon Emperor! Chu Hao looked at Dong Qi, who nodded slightly.
No way! Chu Hao thought. Yun'er isn't a demon, so how could she possibly be a descendant of the Demon Emperor? This revelation is more explosive than , Brother Hao, losing my virginity. If Qiu Yun'er is a descendant of the Demon Emperor, then her searching for the Demon Emperor Scripture makes sense. But how could this be possible?
Chu Hao examined Yun'er and said, "How could Yun'er possibly be a demon? If she were, I would have noticed long ago."
Qiu Yun'er, looking lost, said, "Uncle Dong Qi said that the blood of the Demon Emperor flows within . I must find the Demon Emperor Scripture; it is my life's mission."
Dong Qi said, "A long ti ago, my master brought back a child. That child was Yun'er. Later... my master entrusted the child to Junior Sister Zhong Minyue to care for."
Undoubtedly, that child was Yun'er.
Dong Qi continued, "At that ti, we were also puzzled. When Master revealed Yun'er's origins, we found it unbelievable at first. Actually, even now, I can hardly believe it, but that's what my master said."
Dong Qi sighed and went on, "Actually, my master didn't want to tell us this secret. But he was terminally ill and didn't have much ti left, so he told and my junior sister, and made us take a blood oath not to disclose this matter to outsiders."
Qiu Yun'er looked sowhat excited. So, she had been brought back by her Grand Martial Uncle.
Dong Qi said seriously, "Currently, besides myself and Junior Sister Zhong, you, My Lord, are the only other person who knows Yun'er is a descendant of the Demon Emperor. There is one more person: Temple Master Mushan of Mount Taiding. He arranged for Yun'er to beco the Daoist Saintess, likely with so ulterior motive."
Hearing this, Chu Hao was puzzled. "Aren't Taoism and demons opposed to each other? Why would they want Yun'er to beco the Saintess?"
Exactly, especially since Yun'er is a descendant of the Demon Emperor.
Dong Qi explained, "The Demon Emperor is not the emperor of ordinary demons. The legendary Demon Emperor was the Demon Emperor of the Ancient Heavenly Court. Not many people know this nowadays; I only learned of it from my master."
The Demon Emperor of the Ancient Heavenly Court! Such lineage absolutely belonged to a major figure.
Chu Hao walked over and pinched Qiu Yun'er's jean-clad calf. Qiu Yun'er let out an "EEK!" and quickly stepped back, blushing as she said, "Brother Chu Hao, why are you pinching my leg?"
Chu Hao laughed. "I wanted to see if your leg was a tail."
Qiu Yun'er pouted, looking aggrieved. "I'm not a descendant of Nüwa, I'm a descendant of the Demon Emperor."
Chu Hao smiled, his expression growing solemn. The Demon Emperor of the Ancient Heavenly Court—that's an incredibly significant background. Yun'er is a descendant of the Demon Emperor, and she needs to find the Demon Emperor Scripture.
Chu Hao said, "Don't worry, Yun'er. Your brother will help you."
Qiu Yun'er was touched. Her cheeks flushed, looking pure and lovely, and her large, crescent-shaped eyes made one want to gently pinch her cheeks.
"Thank you, Brother Chu Hao."
Chu Hao said, "Yun'er, you can go out first."
Qiu Yun'er nodded and glanced worriedly at Dong Qi; she now understood his relationship with Chu Hao.
Dong Qi tensed slightly.
"Tell everything you know about the Demon Emperor Scripture," Chu Hao said.
Dong Qi nodded. Since Chu Hao had learned about this from Yun'er, it wouldn't violate the blood oath. "The Demon Emperor Scripture was once acquired by Laozi, the founder of Taoism. However, after Laozi erged from his seclusion, he vanished, and the whereabouts of the Demon Emperor Scripture beca unknown."
Chu Hao asked, "Then how can we use the Tai Ding Seal to find the Demon Emperor Scripture?"
"The Tai Ding Seal was one of Laozi's tokens. If we can find the final place Laozi went to, we can use the Tai Ding Seal to sense it."
So that was it. The Demon Emperor Scripture would be incredibly difficult to find. Heaven knows where Laozi went after his seclusion. According to Bai Ling, the Human World is much larger than it appears. Could Laozi have gone to the Shanhai Secret Realm?
Dong Qi said, "My Lord, the fact that Yun'er is a descendant of the Demon Emperor must absolutely not be leaked. Otherwise, it will bring great disaster. Taoist cultivators, ghosts, and demons alike will take action."
Chu Hao nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. If Yun'er is a descendant of the Demon Emperor, her existence cannot be known. Whether it's Taoist cultivators, ghosts, demons, or perhaps even the Underworld, they would all make a move if they found out, wouldn't they?
Chu Hao said solemnly, "From now on, you and Liang Qian must protect Yun'er at all tis."
"Yes," Dong Qi responded.
After Dong Qi left, Chu Hao opened his attribute interface. This trip to Mount Taiding has been quite rewarding, although I let Taoist Min Ran escape, which is a nuisance. But with my current strength, I'm no longer afraid of him. It was my first ti getting a Green Diamond Treasure Chest, and I wondered what good things it might contain.

Chu Hao was startled and looked at its attributes.

The rarity of these three Copper Coin Swords isn't high, but fusing them is quite expensive. Still, 10,000 Pretentiousness Points aren't much for anymore. He said, "Fuse them."
