Chapter 300: If I Don’t Go, Who Will?

Seven days later.

Chen Chen was lying at the head of Wufeng City, looking at the sky with a mellow expression on his face.

He had to admit that dual cultivation was indeed quite an effective method. In Chen Chen’s eyes, it was probably second only to the cultivation method of swallowing treasures.

However, the prerequisite was that both cultivators had to have complete trust in each other and the attributes of their cultivation method also had to match.

That was certainly not a problem for Chen Chen and Xia Xishuang.

In fact, two male cultivators can also practice dual cultivation but that would feel a little awkward and they would easily go off the rails.

“Hehe…”

Chen Chen couldn’t help but giggle when he thought about some interesting things.

In just seven days, he had already raised his cultivation level to the peak of the early Essence Soul realm with the help of dual cultivation and treasures. Now, he was just one step away from the middle-stage of the Essence Soul realm.

However, Xia Xishuang was still a long way behind the others since she had only stepped into the Essence Soul realm not long ago.

“What are you giggling about?”

When Chen Chen head the faint voice by his ears, he suddenly sat up and looked at Xia Xishuang who looked cold and aloof, though her eyes were full of bliss.

“Nothing, I’m just thinking about what kind of a genius our future child will be. I’m afraid he won’t be too inferior to me. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”

Chen Chen smiled and said nonchalantly.

Xia Xishuang had long gotten used to it. She rolled her eyes at Chen Chen and said, “It’s extremely difficult for cultivators like us to have a child and it won’t be strange if we take a few years to have a child. Now that there’s a war going on between the two clans, I don’t have time to…”

At this point, Xia Xishuang blushed and chose not to continue speaking.

Chen Chen grinned and said, “Hey, we’ll also be contributing greatly to the human race if we give birth to an elite. How can it be less than the contribution of killing an enemy on the battlefield?”

‘Psht!’

Xia Xishuang checked the surroundings and heaved a sigh of relief only when she noticed that there was no one nearby.

‘Chen Chen is getting more and more shameless with his words now. Did he use to be like this in the past too?’

After criticizing, Xia Xishuang looked at the silly Chen Chen and suddenly couldn’t bear to chide him. She took the initiative to inch closer and asked softly, “Chen Chen, do you really want to have children?”

Seeing Xia Xishuang’s serious expression and the way her eyelashes were trembling because of her nervousness, Chen Chen gently stroked her hair with a warm smile on his face.

“I’m just saying, I don’t want you to fly around the battlefield with a baby bump, nor do I want my child to be born in the middle of a war.”

“But… when will this war end? And with our level of cultivation… It doesn’t really matter if you’re pregnant or not. Chen Chen, if you really want a child, I think I can bear with it.”

Xia Xishuang had a serious expression, which made Chen Chen incredibly distracted.

Even though he had been seeing Xia Xishuang everyday, he was still stunned by her beauty.

‘Heh, she’s my woman.’

Chen Chen was secretly smug but a moment later, his expression became serious too. He said seriously, “I will not let my woman suffer at all.”

After saying that, Chen Chen took out a magic treasure from his storage ring and placed it in Xia Xishuang’s hand.

“Chen Chen, what’s this…”

Looking at the protective treasure in her hand, Xia Xishuang was a bit stunned.

Chen Chen explained calmly, “This is a treasure that my Grandmaster gave me. Under full power, it can allow a Void Refinement realm powerhouse to be invincible.”

The treasure was one of the three items that the clan master of the Jade Tripod Alchemy Clan had given him.

“Void Refinement realm powerhouses will be invincible for a short period of time… What’s going to happen to you if you give it to me?”

Xia Xishuang was shocked. She could imagine how and why this treasure was so precious. Even in the entire human race, it would still be considered an elite treasure.

Even her master didn’t have such a treasure. She reckoned that the clan master of the Jade Tripod Alchemy Clan must have give it to Chen Chen after he defeated the eighteen Demon Emperors of the demon race back the.

“Just take it. I have to be busy all the time and if you don’t have such a treasure with you, I won’t feel safe or comfortable about going anywhere.”

Chen Chen stuffed the protective treasure in Xia Xishuang’s hand with a firm gaze in his eyes.

“But…”

“Stop. If I become almighty one day, I’ll fly up to the sky to bring a star back for you.”

Chen Chen said with a smile.

Xia Xishuang looked at the protective treasure in her hand, feeling extremely touched and at a momentary loss for words.

Seeing that tears had welled up in Xia Xishuang’s eyes, Chen Chen held her tightly and patted her gently on her back before whispering, “Xishuang, in my eyes, the most precious thing in this world is you. You’re definitely worthy of the best things in this world.”

…

“Chen Chen, the demon race is suspected to have undergone a drastic change. Many Void Refinement realm Demon Venerables have returned to the demons’ territory and many demons have also begun retreating. Can you find out what happened through the Heavenly Diabolism?”

Half a day later, Chen Chen’s brows furrowed tightly as he looked at Yu Qiong’s message from the communication token.

He then took out the token that the Heavenly Diabolism Master had given him.

“Sect Master, is there anything I can help you with lately?”

There was no reply.

Chen Chen thought about it and took out Hu Xian’er’s communication token again.

“Xian’er, what has happened to the demon clan?”

Hu Xian’er replied quite quickly.

“Master, the four demon clans have united to attack the Demon Courts have already fallen. The emissary who came the previous time has gone missing too.”

“Then why did the demons withdraw their troops so quickly and even sent a few Void Refinement realm cultivators back?”

“My father said… that Demon God’s descendant has a large amount of Demon God’s Ancestral Returning Blood. If we find him, we can nurture more than five Void Refinement realm Demon Venerables within a short period of time. Master, in fact, there has always been a legend among the demons… They say that when the Demon God appears, the demons will dominate this world.”

Hearing Hu Xian’er’s explanation, Chen Chen’s heart immediately raced rapidly.

‘Nurture more than five Void Refinement realm Demon Venerables within a short period of time!’

‘No wonder the Demon God’s descendant can obtain the support of several major clans within a short period of time to establish the Demon Courts. I’m afraid that the use of that legend, coupled with the temptation of the Demon God’s Ancestral-Returning Blood must have been the trick.’

‘Success is so, just like defeat.’

The Demon God descendant was moving too quickly and they soon faced a backfire.

The most solid relationship in this world is the relationship of interest.

However, the least stable is also a relationship built solely based on interests. Once the parties no longer share a mutual relationship, and the Demon God descendant dies, the three great demon races that first supported the Demon Courts would probably not try to avenge the Demon God’s descendant.

In fact, they would even try to get a slice of the pie.

That was reality.

“More than five Void Refinement realm Demon Venerables… That Demon God descendant must not die so soon.”

Chen Chen looked at the sky and sighed gently.

He had once thought about assassinating the Demon God but now, it seemed that there wasn’t such a simple thing in this world.

While the Demon God descendant had the ability to change the demon race, he waned to reach the peak of the demon race and become a Demon Venerable.

The eight demon clans may serve him as their master on the surface but behind the scenes, they were just eying the Demon God’s Ancestral-Returning Blood.

Once the Demon God descendant gets greedy, the eight major demon clans would immediately let their true colors show. Even if they had to kill the Demon God descendant, they had to retain their respective authority in the demon race.

‘This world…’

‘The world is full of deceit and selfishness. How many in this world can truly be selfless?’

“Chen Chen, what’s wrong?”

Xia Xishuang couldn’t help but ask when she saw how melancholic Chen Chen seemed to be.

Chen Chen shook his head and smiled. “Xishuang, I may have to go to the demons’ territory.”

“Huh? What are you going to do at the demons’ territory?”

Xia Xishuang did not know that Chen Chen had already been to the demons’ territory and hence was shocked to hear what he said.

What good can come out of humans heading to the demons’ territory? Especially in the current situation, Void Refinement realm cultivators may not even dare to try.

Chen Chen thought about it and told Xia Xishuang exactly what had happened to the demon race.

In the end, he said, “Xishuang, I can’t let the eight demon clans find the Demon God’s descendant. Otherwise, if they gather a batch of Void Refinement realm demons in a short period of time, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Chen Chen had seen how Lao Hei restored his ancestral bloodline and Demon Venerables with restored bloodlines would really be terrifying.

Hence, the ones who had really reached the edge are the humans.

Xia Xishuang started sobbing immediately after hearing his words.

“Chen Chen… there are so many Void Refinement realm powerhouses in the human race… They didn’t mention a thing about it, why must you be the one going?”

Chen Chen looked at Xia Xishuang who was bawling her eyes out and gently wiped her tears away.

“Because I know clearly that I am the only one in the entire human race who is capable of doing so. If I don’t go, who will?”
