96 What Should I Do If I’m Born a Demon?

“…”

Song Shi was just making up an excuse. Was there really someone looking for the missing silver?

He pursed his lips, “I don’t know. Someone probably picked it up already.”

The latter looked regretful, but he did not believe it, “Young master, you’re not lying to me, are you? You’re really so rich that you don’t care about the little bit you lost?”

!!

“Piss off!”

Song Shi was not interested in explaining anything to this person.

“The wealthy are heartless!”

As he cursed, the refugee retreated awkwardly.

The goateed butler smiled mockingly. “Mortals are all like this. If they don’t have enough food, warmth, or women to satisfy their lust, they will spend their entire lives pursuing wealth and glory. In fact, even if most people run around and work hard all their lives they probably will never get what they want. What do you think, Young Master?”

“Such are men.”

Seeing that the old man had revealed the true face of the Huangs, Song Shi walked into the village.

As he admired the surrounding scenery, he shrugged and asked, “Is there anything the butler wants to achieve?”

“There is. To become an immortal.”

The butler knew that Song Shi had discovered their identities and did not pretend anymore. He walked side by side with Song Shi and revealed a yearning expression, “Only by becoming an immortal can one truly live forever.”

“It’s just that this path to becoming an immortal is too difficult. I don’t know who else in the world can do it.”

Song Shi was curious, “Can demons become immortals too?”

The goateed man looked deeply at Song Shi and said with a smile, “Why not? That’s just a realm after all. It’s just like how mortals think we’re immortals, but in fact, we’re just cultivators.”

“That makes sense. We think that immortals are very far away, but in fact, immortals are only cultivators who are many realms higher than us.”

Song Shi agreed with this concept.

“That’s the logic. Unfortunately, how many of us can do it? I have to say that it’s easier for you humans to become immortals in this world. As such, I’m very envious.”

“So, you came to a human village and pretended to be humans to do things. Aren’t you afraid of being killed and getting your demon cores taken?”

Song Shi’s words made the butler’s beard tremble. A fierce look appeared in his eyes, “You shouldn’t say such things.”

“Anyway, since I can’t run away now, why can’t I say it?”

Song Shi shrugged and looked at the butler from head to toe. He looked like a human. But with the help of his Great Yin Form Observation, he had already seen through this fellow’s true form.

This person was actually an old ram demon spirit. His entire body emitted a dense murderous aura like a black cloud. His cultivation should be very powerful.

“So you’re a demon too. In that case, the slutty aura I sensed just now was Huang Heyu’s demonic aura?”

Song Shi sighed in his heart. These people who were in front of him were not evil spirits.

In reality, evil spirits wouldn’t dare to be so bold in broad daylight.

After all, they came out in broad daylight to do good deeds. Although in reality they were actually demons and not humans!

In the past, he did not have much knowledge regarding the concept of demons. Now that he did, and he had seen a few with his own eyes, he could not tell with the naked eye that this guy was not human.

“Hehe, you know your place. But now that you know our identities, how are you not afraid?”

The Ram demon sneered coldly.

“Will being afraid make me feel safer? Besides, I’ll give you a sense of accomplishment if I show that afraid. So I don’t feel like being too afraid of you all. At most, I’ll just die in your hands.”

Song Shi had a proud expression on his face. With his hands behind his back, he snorted and said, “Regardless if man is born in heaven or earth. He is destined to die. What matters is if he died with a heart heavier than a mountain or lighter than a feather.”

The Ram demon was stunned by Song Shi’s words and felt enlightened. He could not help but reveal a thoughtful expression as he carefully savored the logic behind it.

“He’s shocked by that?”

Song Shi was originally only acting deliberately to be unafraid of death and keeping a cool composure. He did not expect this tactic to be able to shock this great demon.

“Looks like he’s uncultured…”

He could vaguely guess some of their motives already.

“Young Master is indeed different from those refugees. You have knowledge and talent.”

Huang Heyu appeared with a smile. It looked as if there were water ripples in her beautiful eyes as gentleness overflowed, as if she wanted to drown Song Shi in them.

“They’re about to starve to death. How can they still have the mood or energy to think about or say such things?”

Song Shi did not feel that he had any talent. What he said was just certain things he had memorized from his studies in his past life.

“Young Master is so considerate. All the Elementary Scholars I met in the past despised these refugees in the mountains.”

Huang Heyu sashayed over with admiration in her eyes.

Sensing that this woman’s attitude towards him had improved by a lot, Song Shi suddenly understood what kind of person appealed to these demons.

He opened his fan and continued, “Everyone has their own fate. Some are born to be Marquis, some are born to be bandits, some are born to be free, and some are born to be rich… Every life in the world falls into the six divided paths. What they look down on are just the other party’s lowly status.”

“Young Master is really knowledgeable.”

Huang Heyu suddenly felt that Song Shi’s straightforwardness was also a kind of personality trait. She humbly asked, “What if someone was born a demon?”

Song Shi was speechless. He was not a life coach. Why did he have to answer such a deep question?

However, he still had to maintain his pretense. He coughed and said, “You have to be strong if you are born a demon.”

“Seek self-improvement.”

Huang Heyu was stunned for a moment and felt that what he said made sense. However, she still looked into the distance and asked, “Actually, I want to ask, should I be good or evil if I am a demon?”

“This has nothing to do with being a demon or a human. It depends on what you want to do. If you believe that good is greater than evil in this world, then do more good and don’t provoke evil.”

...

Song Shi’s words were also testing if Huang Heyu was biased towards evil or good.

Huang Heyu looked like she was in deep thought. She thought of something and smiled brightly. “Alright!”

“Young Madam, the world is dangerous. I think it’s better to be evil.”

The Ram demon retorted.

“Why can’t we treat good with kindness and suppress evil with evil?”

Song Shi found it strange.

Both of their bodies trembled, and their eyes lit up. As if something had changed within them.

Huang Heyu’s eyes became clearer and her flirtatious aura faded. The murderous aura on the Ram demon also decreased greatly.

“Are these two cultivating right now?”

Song Shi fell into deep thought. But why did demons come here to cultivate? Wasn’t it very dangerous for them?

The demonic sects in the Thousand Poisons Mountain Range and the official cultivators of Great Qian were engaged in a fierce battle. If they discovered demonic beasts here, they would not mind refining elixirs with demon cores by killing demons like them.

...

“Thank you for your guidance, Young Master. Listening to your words has been better than being in the mortal world for ten years.”

Huang Heyu bowed elegantly. It was obvious that she was sincerely thanking him.

“I admire Young Master’s talent and knowledge.”

The Ram demon also bowed.

Song Shi was dumbfounded. Was a few random words worth a heavy praise?

Seeing the confusion on Song Shi’s face, Huang Heyu pursed his lips and smiled, “Young Master, please follow me.”

Song Shi followed him to the backyard. There was an ancestral hall here, and coffins were placed inside.

Huang Heyu walked to an open coffin. There was a young man lying inside and he was no longer breathing.

“These are the real members of the Huang Family?”

Song Shi was speechless.

“Yes, the people of the Huang Family have already died from the plague a long time ago. Sigh, I was a little too late and didn’t manage to save my benefactor.”

Huang Heyu felt regretful.

“Benefactor?”

Song Shi could not help but look at the young man whose face was covered in a faint blush. He felt a little strange.

“That’s him.”

Huang Heyu walked over and touched the coffin, “Ten years ago, this Young Master Huang entered the prefecture to take the Imperial examination.”

“He saved you on a thundering night?”

Song Shi instantly imagined many things.

“How did you know?”

Huang Heyu was surprised.

“Strange novels always have such plots. For example, a certain scholar saved an injured vixen, siren and then a demon will come to repay his kindness. I didn’t expect this to really happen…”

Song Shi did not take it seriously.

“More or less. At that time, I was in the midst of my transformation into a human in the mountain and I was at the most crucial moment. This young master’s book on morality and sageness helped me successfully step into the spirit path instead of the beast path where I would have been dogged by bad luck.”

Huang Heyu explained the reason.
