Chapter 203 The Red-Clothed Youth

Luo Mingyue looked at the portrait and said, "I've seen this person before."

As soon as she said this, everyone focused their attention on her. Kong Quelan asked hurriedly, "Really? Where is it?"

Luo Mingyue looked at him and replied, "Master Xuanxing once told me that one of his disciples was tortured to death by a demon cultivator. He also showed me the appearance of that demon cultivator, which was the same as the portrait you showed me now."

In fact, there is some difference. The portrait that the sect leader took out did not contain any essence or blood, so the portrait just looked like a handsome boy. There was nothing special about it, and it was not as attractive as this painting.

Kong Han asked: "Then...what next?"

Luo Mingyue said: "The sect leader ran to chase and kill this demon cultivator, but he escaped."

Kong Quelan asked, "Didn't they continue the pursuit?"

Luo Mingyue said: "No, I can't find him."

Kong Que Lan said disappointedly: "Even the leader of Xuanxing Sect can't find him. It seems that it will be difficult to take revenge..."

The voice paused for a moment, and Kong Quelan suddenly realized another problem. His face turned pale, and he said, "Could it be that because I asked that Xuanxing Sect disciple to help me with the calculation... the demon cultivator noticed this disciple, captured him, and tortured him to death?"

Kong Han said, "That's impossible. Didn't you just say, Patriarch, that he didn't figure out anything? And you looked for many Xuanxing Sect disciples. Are the others all right? Or are they all missing?"

Kong Que Lan said: "I stayed on the island for a while, and he was the only one missing. The other disciples were fine."

Kong Han comforted him: "Maybe it's just a coincidence. It has nothing to do with you."

Luo Mingyue also felt that it was irrelevant, because the incident with the Peacock Clan happened a long time ago, and Kong Han was not yet born at that time. As for the tragic death of the Xuanxing Sect disciples... it shouldn't have been that long ago, right?

Luo Mingyue was also unsure. She said, "It's a pity that I don't know how to deduce the secrets of the universe. If I could find this demon cultivator, I would definitely kill him."

Kong Quelan said: "Thank you in advance, Master."

Luo Mingyue said: "You're welcome. I remember the Sect Master said that some people are lucky and can get what they want... Maybe I will really meet him by chance in the future."

Next, everyone's attention returned to the little man in the cardboard box.

……

In a distant palace.

A young man with delicate eyebrows and charming looks was reclining on a soft couch. He was wearing a blood-red robe and holding a book with his bony fingers. His skin was whiter than snow and his appearance was extraordinary. Anyone who saw him would involuntarily fall in love with his beauty.

The young man in red flipped through the book in his hand, smiling, "As long as I can deceive the true heart of one more person of the opposite sex, I can advance to the Golden Core Stage... By then, who in the world can resist my charm?"

The young man in red is exactly the demon cultivator in the scroll. The magic skills he practices are quite special. He must deceive the sincerity or original power of one thousand people of the opposite sex of different races. Cheating is actually quite simple, because with the charm of the young man in red, any person of the opposite sex who spends some time with him will gradually fall in love with him. However, his realm has remained in the great perfection of the foundation building stage for many years. Because to advance, he needs to find one thousand "opposite sex" of "different races", and the difficulty lies in these "different races".

Over the years, the boy in red has searched for the opposite sex including chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, cats, dogs, rabbits, etc. The so-called "sincerity" is not necessarily love, it can also be family affection and friendship. Anyway, as long as someone is willing to give his or her life for the boy in red, it is enough.

For example, the young man in red has a dog. The dog is loyal and willing to die for him. Then, this dog meets the requirements of magic. If the dog can speak, it means that it has "awakened its intelligence". All intelligent monsters have the power of origin in their bodies. What the young man in red needs is the origin. But if the dog cannot speak, it is just an ordinary animal without the origin. In that case, the young man in red needs to take out the heart of the animal to replace the origin.

For example, the boy in red once bewitched a peacock, but if the peacock and an owl mate and give birth to a hybrid monster, then this hybrid monster represents a completely new race, and the boy in red can then bewitch this hybrid.

"I heard that the leader of Mingyue Sect is the most powerful in the entire cultivation world. I heard that she has killed many sea beasts of the same level. I don't know if it is true or not... After all, many rumors in this world are false. Many things change as they are passed on. What you hear is not true..."

The young man in red was flipping through the book while talking to himself. He added, "Some people say that Sect Master Mingyue is the most beautiful woman in the entire cultivation world... Tsk, I am clearly the most beautiful in this world. When I reach the Golden Core Stage, I will definitely compete with her."

"It would be best if Sect Master Mingyue fell in love with me. It would be a great sense of accomplishment to conquer such a powerful and beautiful woman..."

The young man in red narrowed his eyes slightly, and his smile was like thousands of flowers blooming, dazzling.

He has already chosen the last "woman", who is a hybrid of a cloud fox and a divine deer. This hybrid monster has the appearance of a fox but has deer antlers on its head. Her name is Cloud Deer. Cloud Deer lives in a group of foxes. Because of its different appearance from other foxes, it has been ostracized since childhood and has an inferiority complex in its bones. In addition, both its parents have passed away and it has no one to rely on. Its life is miserable, it is hungry one day and full the next, and is much thinner than foxes of the same age.

The cloud deer has not yet transformed into a human form. A few days ago, it was caught in a hunter's trap. A young man in red passed by and rescued it and brought it back to his palace.

"Brother~"

At this moment, Yunlu was in a cheerful tone. It pushed open the door of the palace with great effort, spread its four legs, and ran in.

The young man in red put down the book in his hand and remained in a reclining position, one of his hands supporting his head. His wide sleeves naturally drooped, revealing a white wrist. He looked at the little fox with antlers with a half-smile and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yunlu jumped onto the bed, threw herself into the arms of the young man in red, and said aggrievedly: "Brother, none of my tribesmen came to see me..."

The young man in red asked, "Do you want to go back?"

"Do not want to."

Yunlu shook his head and said, "But after I disappeared, they didn't care about me or come to look for me... Although I knew this ending a long time ago, I still feel sad."

The young man in red reached out and stroked its fur. His voice was extremely pleasant and charming. He said in a charming voice: "Those foxes don't even treat you as their family. You don't have to care about them... Isn't it good for you to live here with me?"

"Of course! Since my parents died, my brother is the only person in the world who has cared about me..." Yunlu nestled in the arms of the young man in red, and said nostalgically, "Why is the palace so big, but there are only two of us?"

"Because my brother is not in good health..." As he said this, the young man in red suddenly began to cough violently. He sat up and covered his mouth with a handkerchief. After coughing several times, he finally stopped.

The handkerchief was half stained red, shocking. The young man in red was pale, with a trace of blood on the corner of his lips. The bright red color made him look even more beautiful. With red eyes, he said, "Because of my poor health, I was abandoned by the tribe a long time ago..."

Yunlu said distressedly: "Brother, I will accompany you from now on. I was also abandoned by the tribe. From now on, we will depend on each other and never separate."

The young man in red smiled, he stroked Yunlu's back and said, "Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, I will protect you from harm by outsiders, but if I'm dead..."

Yunlu said: "Don't say such depressing words! My brother is a great demon and can live for a long time!"

The young man in red frowned slightly, thinking that the little thing actually thought he was a big demon? However, he did have a little bit of demon blood in his body, so small that it was almost negligible. It seemed that the little thing's perception was quite sharp. He sighed and said, "But I am already terminally ill and I really don't have many years left to live. When the time comes, I will give this palace to you..."

Yunlu said, "Brother, I will take you to see a doctor and I will definitely cure you."

The young man in red shook his head. "It's useless. My essence has been drained away. Ordinary means cannot heal me at all."

Yunlu asked: "What should we do then?"

The young man in red said, "Don't ask. This has nothing to do with you. I hope you can grow up quickly, healthy and safe."

"No, brother, please tell me, otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight..." Yunlu asked relentlessly.

The young man in red sighed softly.

He said: "It's useless for you to know. It will only cause more trouble, because what I need is the essence in the monster's body..."

Yunlu clenched his fists and asked, "Which monster do you want? I will definitely get its origin for you, brother!"

The young man in red said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "If I say that I need your origin, will you agree?"

Yunlu's heart tightened. It did not answer immediately, but fell into silence.

After all, it has only known the young man in red for a relatively short time, and the feelings between the two are not deep enough to the point where they are willing to give their lives for each other.

The young man in red smiled and said, "Don't overthink it. I'm used to being sick and don't need anyone to save me. I'm already satisfied that you can accompany me through the last period of my life."

The cloud deer raised its head. It felt that the smile of the young man in red was so beautiful and so fragile. It said, "If it only takes a little bit of the origin, I can also contribute..."

Just when it was halfway through its words, the young man in red blocked its mouth with his hand.

The young man in red made a "hush" sound and said, "Don't say such things. Even if I am seriously ill and dying, it is my own fault. You must first learn to love yourself, and then love others. And don't hurt yourself for others."

Yunlu quietly nestled in the boy's arms and said in a muffled voice: "God is so unfair. My brother is so gentle and kind, but he is seriously ill, while some monsters do a lot of evil, but they are strong and healthy..."

The young man in red did not respond, because his illness was fake and he was acting on purpose for the stupid little fox to see. He was actually very healthy and did not need any medical treatment at all.

There is still a long way to go, and sooner or later, I will be able to trick this little fox into my hands.

Yunlu said: "Brother, I have always called you brother, and I still don't know your name."

"Jun Meixing."

After the young man in red answered, he suddenly looked into the distance. His pupils seemed to be looking at another place through the air.

Yunlu said: "Brother, your name is really nice...Brother, are you distracted?"

Jun Meixing said: "I felt a drop of my own blood."

Yunlu asked: "Where is it? Should we go and get this drop of blood back?"

"No, don't look for it. It's useless even if you find it. I can't cut my chest and put the blood back into my body, right?"

Yunlu asked: "Why is my brother's blood in someone else's hands?"

"Because..." Jun Meixing dragged out his tone, because he did it on purpose. The principle he adhered to was "eradicating the roots". He was originally a young master of a wealthy family. In order to become a demon, he slaughtered his entire family, including all the servants, and even the horses in his family. After the killing, he successfully became a demon cultivator. Later, in order to cultivate the golden elixir, he continued to deceive the original power. After deceiving, he usually spared the victim's life, and occasionally left his own portrait, in which a drop of his own blood was fused, or he would mark the victim, and after he had digested the victim's original power, he would follow the blood or mark to find the victim's entire family, and then deliberately destroy the entire family in front of the victim.

At the beginning, he deceived a naive peacock and left behind a portrait of his own blood and essence. However, after he digested the peacock's original power, he found that the portrait he left behind had lost contact, because the portrait was put into the storage space by the old patriarch. In order to save his silly peacock, the old patriarch fell into a coma for many years, and the portrait had never been taken out during this period, so Jun Meixing naturally would not come to him.

The old patriarch might have done a lot of good deeds in his daily life. When he took the scroll and asked Xuanxingmen to take action, Jun Meixing happened to be in a new relationship and had no time to deal with the scroll of essence and blood, so the matter was delayed.

However, these words could not be told to Yunlu, so Jun Meixing had to make up an excuse. He looked at Yunlu steadily and said, "This is a secret. If I tell you, you can't tell anyone else. You can only know it by yourself. Is that okay?"

Yunlu nodded, "Okay."

Jun Meixing began to make up stories, "Because I have precious blood flowing in my body, taking my blood can be used to make pills..."

Yun Lu's eyes widened in surprise. "What kind of elixir is this? It actually requires blood to be refined. It feels very evil."

Jun Meixing lowered his eyes, "I don't know what kind of elixir it is. I was once locked up in a dungeon and my blood was taken all day long."

"Brother..." Yunlu originally thought that her past was miserable enough, until she heard about Jun Meixing's experience. Without comparison, there is no harm. Yunlu suddenly felt that her previous life was not bad. At least she would not have her blood taken...

Jun Meixing thought for a moment and said, "It's meaningless to stay in the palace all the time. Why don't we go find my blood essence? I have confirmed its exact location. If I fly with a sword, it will be very fast. I can reach my destination in a few days."
