Compared to the Human Clan and Demon Race, the status of half-demons is truly awkward, like a lone boat in the vast ocean.
Usually, when the sea is calm, the boat can survive.
But when the storm rises and amidst the furious waves, the small boat carrying the fate of half-demons can be overturned by a wave at any mont, vanishing without a trace in the River of Ti.
The young man with fox ears let out a long sigh, feeling that the path ahead was unclear, not knowing where to go.
He just looked at the floating remains in the Chaotic Demon Sea, and heavily sighed.
"Maybe in a few years, I'll beco one of them."
He does not fear death, he just doesn't want to die like this.
"If only we could cross this Chaotic Demon Sea and reach the territory of the Human Clan, it would be great. I believe the Human Clan will surely accept us. After all, compared to the Demon Race, the Human Clan is more moral."
"Even if nothing else works out, we can continue to serve them. No matter how the Human Clan strongn look down on us, at least they won't eat us when they're hungry, and they might even offer so comntary."
Seeing the fox-eared one's low spirits, the sturdy man with bull horns approached and spoke softly.
If such words were overheard by others, it could implicate their kin.
But the fox-eared one, filled with worry, just glanced around and found no one paying attention to their conversation, shook his head, and said quietly, "Whether the Human Clan will accept us is another matter, but tell , how can we cross the Chaotic Demon Sea?"
With their cultivation at the Furnace Fire Realm, they would die at the hands of sea beasts in the Demon Sea before even seeing the Realm Barrier.
The bull-horned man chuckled and spoke again, "Even if we can't cross, at least it's a thought."
"Co on, young master, our lives were never in our own hands. We live each day as it cos. Why worry? Let's have a drink first."
Upon hearing this, the young man with fox ears punched the sturdy man's chest jokingly, "You rascal, always thinking about drinking. Aren't you afraid of ssing things up?"
"Now is a ti of many troubles. Let's take care of our responsibilities first."
"Once ashore, I'll treat you to good food and drink."
The bull-horned man, being simple-minded, agreed cheerfully.
The young man with fox ears buried his thoughts deep within himself, glanced in the direction of the vast continent, then turned and walked towards his room.
This ship is quite ordinary, without any luxurious decorations, barely able to fend off sea beasts. Even being called the young master, he only has a small room where one can see the end at a glance.
The room isn't big, situated within the ship's cabin, and it's pitch-black upon entry.
The young man with fox ears pointed his fingers to light the sea beast oil candle in the room, turned around, and found a hazy shadow of a young man sitting on the chair, his features unclear, as if he was seated there yet also distant in space.
He rubbed his eyes suddenly, his heart filled with panic, and hurriedly knelt down.
"This humble one, Hu Yi... greets the lord!"
Hu Yi hadn't sensed any presence in his room.
Seeing the youth's form, already humanoid, at least a Transformation Realm Demon.
Soone whom a half-demon like him could not provoke.
His voice trembled, his heart raced to its limits with extre fear, Divine Skills of the Transformation Realm Demon, could they have overheard everything on the deck word for word?
"You seem to have a favorable view of the Human Clan?"
Sure enough, the young man in front opened his mouth slowly, even though his face was indistinct, Hu Yi felt his entire being watched thoroughly by the youth.
His ntal defenses were almost shattered, nearly collapsing on the ground.
Though the young man just sat there and uttered a simple sentence, he felt that one glance from this lord could take his life.
Like watching an insect from above, easily crushable.
"Lord, please understand!"
Terrified, Hu Yi knelt and repeatedly kowtowed.
"My words favoring the Human Clan, uttered by , deserve death, but we have no, nor have ever had, the chance to interact with the Human Clan, this matter concerns no others."
"Please, lord, spare their lives for their dedicated service to the Demon Race!"
Looking at the kneeling Hu Yi before him, Jiang Shu's expression remained unchanged. Around the room, he had long set up barriers, so no one could hear or see anything here.
He spoke, "You know, if not for your words, you would already be dead."
Hu Yi, hearing these words, stood motionless, his lips quivering but unable to speak.
What does this an?
In Hu Yi's view, the words deserving death spoken earlier were overheard by these esteed figures. Not to ntion safeguarding others on the ship, he couldn't even be sure about preserving his own kin. So why did this lord not only spare him but now wore a faint smile?
"I ask, since you have never seen the Human Clan, how do you know they will accept you?"
"The Human Clan has a saying — 'Not of my kind, their heart is surely different.' Half-demons only bear the blood of the Human Clan, still retaining the appearance of the Demon Race."
"How many gifted strongn of the Human Clan have died at the hands of the Demon Race, such is a sea of blood feud, and the strongest half-demon reaching rely the Primordial Pill Realm, is of useless value to the Human Clan."
"The realm you aspire to, is it truly the Human Clan, or is it your dreamland of suffering endlessly where you found solace and wove a kingdom of aspirations within?"
