: There’s a Demon in the Heart of Every Loli

Since he couldn’t figure it out for now, Bei Feng decided to stop thinking about it for the moment. Instead, he resumed his attempts to modify Minor Illumination Breathing Technique into a Martial Technique.
However, he was crushed to the ground by the enormous pressure without fail every single time. It was not that Bei Feng was a masochist who enjoyed hurting himself for no reason. Rather, he found that the control he had over his newfound strength was improving rapidly with every attempt.
At the same time, his body’s potential was being refined by the pressure. Bei Feng’s cells’ alignment became even more compact and perfect.
‘Well dmn, I didn’t manage to create a Martial Technique, but somehow managed to come up with a body tempering technique…’
Bei Feng lay on the ground, his entire body soaked in perspiration.
After catching his breath for a few moments, he slowly got up and washed himself with two bucketfuls of water from the Ancient Well.
‘Hmm, I’ll send Mystic Two and Three to buy a solar-powered water heater tomorrow. This method of bathing is really a bit too inconvenient,’ Bei Feng thought as he dumped another bucket of water over his head.
Bei Feng walked over to the well and, with a thought, a long fishing rod made entirely out of untainted white jade appeared in his hands.
‘Tsk tsk, this fishing rod must be worth several cities now!’
Bei Feng clicked his tongue in appreciation as he casted the line into the well.

O Merciful Gods and Deities, please watch over me and help me to catch a Martial Technique; any kind of Martial Technique is fine!

Bei Feng mumbled in a deranged manner. It was clear that he was almost going crazy due to his obsession about Martial Techniques.

Deep in the wild and unforgiving mountain range of a strange world.
Bai Wuxie led a group of junior apprentice brothers and sisters as they walked through the thick forest. From their leisurely manner, this group looked more like they were taking a walk in their own backyard instead of crossing a dangerous forest.

Senior Brother Bai, are there really savages living here?
An adorable loli in the middle of the group asked curiously as she looked at her surroundings with interest.
The other junior disciples also looked at Bai Wuxie expectantly.

Of course! But their numbers are exceptionally few. These savages have powerful bodies and are all capable of slaying a Grade 1 Demonic Beast when they reach adulthood! If we come across any, senior brother will catch one for you to bring back as a slave,
Bai Wuxie ruffled her hair and said with some affection.
This little girl was actually the Sect Leader’s precious daughter. Although she was only 12 years old, she had been nourished with large amounts of valuable spirit medicines even while she was still in her mother’s womb. After her birth, she was also given all kinds of resources, even soaking in all kinds medicinal baths every day!
From a young age, she already possessed a pretty decent cultivation. The mission this time was handed out by the Sect and had very low danger levels. That was the reason Xia Lianyan was brought along to broaden her horizons.
Looking at the worshipful expression on Xia Lianyan’s face, Bai Wuxie beamed with complacency.
‘En, she’s a little young right now, but her figure is already quite nice and slim. In the future, she’ll definitely be a peerless beauty!
Hehe, it’s fine if you’re a bit younger than me. I’ll wait for you to blossom, and marry you when you’re older. As long as we’re husband and wife, wouldn’t I be the next Sect Leader?!’
The look in Bai Wuxie’s eyes turned even warmer as that thought flashed through his mind.

Senior Brother Bai, I’m hungry…

Xia Lianyan put a hand on her slim belly and pouted pitifully.
‘Stupid fck, why don’t you take a piss on the ground and take a look at yourself through your own reflection? Daring to have designs on me? Did you really take your Granny I to be a naive, frail and helpless girl?’ [1]
Xia Lianyan sneered coldly in her heart. On the surface, however, she was all smiles and looked completely innocent.

Ok, what do you want to eat? I’ll make whatever you want for you,
Bai Wuxie did not know what Xia Lianyan was thinking in her heart, and was still smiling amiably at her.

I want a crystal pork knuckle in jelly!

A sliver of saliva appeared on the corner of Xia Lianyan’s mouth, and her throat moved as she gulped in anticipation.

Little Junior Sister, we’re not in Cangwu Town, there’s no crystal pork knuckle here… I’ll make you some roasted meat, how about that?

The corner of Bai Wuxie’s mouth twitched fiercely. This little lady was really quite something!
Don’t mention the fact that they were in this desolate mountain range, with nary a crystal pork knuckle in jelly in sight, even if it was available for sale, Bai Wuxie’s heart would overflow with pain if he were to purchase such a luxurious food item. A single crystal pork knuckle in jelly was the equivalent of 10 days worth of cultivation resources!

I don’t want roasted meat~ then, just fry me an egg of a Heavenly Eagle. The last time Yan’er tried it, it was really too delicious!

Xia Lianyan looked expectantly at Bai Wuxie.
‘Fck! If you weren’t the daughter of Lord Sect Leader, your Daddy I would definitely teach you a good lesson today!’
Bai Wuxie felt a mouthful of blood gush through his throat. What was a Heavenly Eagle? That was an overlord-level Demonic Beast of the sky! Forget him, even if the Sect Leader himself were to face the Heavenly Eagle, he would only be able to serve as an additional side dish for the beast.

Junior Sister, how about this, I’ll make a nice Jinling Eagle boiled egg for you. This delicious egg coupled with my family recipe will definitely keep you wanting for more!

He must not let this spoiled little girl continue speaking. The more she said, the more exaggerated her demands became. It was really a mystery who she learned this ridiculous way of speaking from.
Bai Wuxie immediately ran off before Xia Lianyan could make another demand. The other disciples were left staring at each other speechlessly.
‘Jinling Eagle? Forget it, I’ll let you off this time.’
Xia Lianyan chuckled coldly and sat down atop a large rock where she proceeded to swing her legs back and forth nonchalantly.
An hour later, Bai Wuxie returned, his body covered in multiple long scratches. Even his hair gear was missing. His hair flowed about wildly, and he looked rather rugged.
Hugged in his arms was a faintly gold-colored egg the size of a small watermelon!

Junior Sister, I’m back! Look, this is an egg of a Grade 3 Demonic Beast!

Bai Wuxie hurried towards her with a complacent look on his face.

Wow! Senior Brother is really incredible!


Of course! This is a Grade 3 Demonic Beast after all!


Apart from Senior Brother, I think only people from the older generation like the martial uncles in the Sect are capable of doing something like this!

The other junior disciples looked at Bai Wuxie with worshipful gazes.
‘Eh? This junior apprentice sister is actually quite not bad! How come I didn’t notice her before? When we go back, I’ll have to invite her to my chambers to talk about life and ideals…’
On the surface, Bai Wuxie was telling the junior disciples to work hard, as well as other words of the sort. But his eyes were roaming freely on the curvaceous figures of the female disciples.

Clang!

A large ancient cooking cauldron with two looped handles and three legs appeared in thin air, landing heavily on the ground with a dull thud.
The cooking cauldron was smooth and round, and it was covered in numerous shapeless and twisted runes which were engraved on its body. This cauldron was different from those typically used for sacrificial ceremonies. It had a lid which sat atop the mouth of the cauldron.

This cooking cauldron is my family’s treasure, passed down from generation to generation. All food cooked in this cauldron will definitely taste incomparably delicious! Even if you put plain water into this cauldron to boil, it will still taste like cool jade water!
Bai Wuxie boasted shamelessly as he observed the looks of awe on the junior’s faces. This cooking cauldron was a family heirloom, and was capable of ensuring that the food cooked within it would turn out more delicious than if one were to use a normal wok.
Having been passed on for so many generations, by the time Bai Wuxie received it, he found that even those ordinary ingredients cooked within it would contain very strong medicinal properties!
In fact, one could say that without this cauldron, it would be impossible for Bai Wuxie to reach his current cultivation and status!

Kuang!

Bai Wuxie retrieved a bottle of specially prepared water from his spatial ring and poured it into the cooking cauldron. Then, he carefully placed the Jinling Eagle egg into the water and placed two scarlet firestones under the cauldron.

Hong!

A hearty fire burst forth from the firestones as soon as they were ignited, covering the entire exterior of the cooking cauldron.
These firestones could not be compared to regular fuel. They were the crystallization of fire essence from the deepest regions of 10,000 year old living volcanoes!
Waves of hot air spread outwards from the fire, covering the area in hazy ripples. The disciples who were closest to the fire were all forced to retreat numerous steps before they could breathe regularly.
[1] ED/N: You’ve surely seen a lot of guys going around and calling themselves ‘fathers’ or ‘grandfathers’. No, it doesn’t mean they’re sowing their
karma
and have kids everywhere. It’s kind of like ore-sama etc. in Japanese for those who watch anime–for those who don’t, the gist of it is that the Chinese care a lot about seniority so those guys are basically acting all high and mighty and looking down on others; ‘grandmother’ in this case has the same meaning (usually women would say ‘mother’ or ‘aunt’, though).
