Demon Blood, Maiden Vail

In the quiet morning, Lin Yuan opened his eyes, feeling a wave of energy circulating through his meridians. His spiritual sea pulsed with power.

> **"I broke through again…"**

> He looked inward—he was already at the **seventh layer of Qi Gathering**. His progress was astonishing.

At breakfast, Sect Leader Yuexian poured tea as she watched him with amused eyes.

**"Seventh layer already? Impressive,"** she said. **"But from here on, each step will take time. You'll need to digest more spiritual triggers."Lin yuan eat breakfast with sect leader and sect leader poured tea for him. The talk about their daily plan.

Lin yuan put the soul devouring ant in his house , give them soul fruit. Locked them with formation.

Later, he bought **10,000 meat buns** and delivered them back to his estate for the rescued slaves. He went to ask when his friend will come.when he stepped into the courtyard, the **Holy Son of Evergreen Holy Land** was already waiting.

Beside him stood a serene woman in white robes.

> **"This is Holy Maiden Yuruo,"** the Holy Son introduced.

"I've heard of your efforts," the maiden said gently. "I wish to help too. But I will require 100 high-grade spirit stones. I'll restore their physical bodies.

Lin Yuan agreed and brought her inside. Nearly **three thousand people**—not counting demon-blood survivors—waited quietly. Their eyes dim, but filled with hope.

Yuruo's expression softened. "You've done more than many great sects,"she whispered. "I once wanted to do the same, but lacked the wealth. I can't fix their cultivation yet, but I'll begin healing their bodies. Afterward, I'll attempt to remove their cultivation seals… though I must warn you, they have soul bombs inside them."**

> **"Bombs?"** Lin Yuan frowned.

Yuruo nodded. **"The tokens you received from their former owners—they can detonate. But worse, the true masters hold master tokens… capable of destroying them all at once."**

Before he could say more, she gave him a brief, heartfelt hug.

"You're brave—but too young to carry this alone. Cultivate well, or this path will consume you."

Lin Yuan enjoy the hug but he remember he should not hug girls without marriage.He blushed and gently tried to step away.

"I—uh—girls shouldn't hug carelessly…"**

"Oh?" she teased, smiling. "But aren't you a girl too? You are acting like shy little boy. "

Lin Yuan panicked and quickly excused himself.

Outside, **Lady Mingyan's voice echoed in his mind**:

> *"You seemed to enjoy the hug. Want me to take you to the Flower House next?"*

> **"What's the Flower House?"** Lin Yuan asked, confused.

> *"A place where lonely cultivators go to hug as many girls as they want—for a little money."*

> **"I'm not that kind of guy!"** Lin Yuan retorted, cheeks red.

He joined the sect leader and continued cultivation, soon breaking through to the **eighth level of Qi Gathering**.

---

That afternoon, Lady Mingyan whispered again:

> *"Bid on the **Heaven-Eating Ore**. A rare forbidden metal that devours spiritual energy to strengthen beast cores. Perfect for that armadillo cub."*

Bidding started at 10 high-grade spirit stones… and soared to 760.

Lin Yuan raised his hand.

> **"800!"**

Silence fell.

He won the ore. Another rare treasure now rested in his beast pouch.

---

After the auction, Lin Yuan returned to check on the Holy Maiden. She and the Sect Leader were now working side by side, helping remove seals from the freed slaves. Most were women, many pregnant, all frail—yet healthier than before.

> **"Can I invite the Holy Son to help?"** Lin Yuan asked.

> **"You may,"** Sect Leader Yuexian nodded.

Lin Yuan hurried to the Holy Son and bring him.He also join them.He go to market and soon he returned with supplies. Lin Yuan bought **spiritual meats**, **toys**, **swords**, **nuts**, **milk**, and even **high-grade artifact tents**—strong enough to resist demon claws.

The rescued people feasted joyfully for the first time in days.

---

That evening, Yuexian invited the Holy Son and Maiden to dinner at her residence. After the meal, she whispered to Lin Yuan:

"Take the Holy Son to the garden. Show him the armadillo cub."

There, Lin Yuan discreetly passed him **100 high-grade spirit stones** for the maiden's help. He also gave him the **Heaven-Eating Ore**, meant to nourish the cub's core.

Upon returning, Sect Leader looked amused.

"Holy Maiden Yuruo is married… and pregnant,"she said with a knowing smile.

Lin Yuan froze.

She hugged me…!

His cheeks turned crimson.

Holy maiden think Lin yue like holy son. "Don't worry,"Yuruo teased. "I'm not jealous. You can propose to my husband too if you want."

Yuexian burst into laughter.

Embarrassed, Lin Yuan fled to his cultivation chamber and activated the Moonlight Formation. Yet that night, sleep brought no peace.

---

He dreamed of Yuruo's embrace… followed by a massive sky dragon descending and swallowing him whole.

He screamed.

The sound pierced the formation—he had forgotten to seal the chamber. In a flash, Sect Leader Yuexian arrived.

"Lin Yuan! Are you okay?"

"Just a nightmare…"

Lady Mingyan's voice slipped into his thoughts.

> *"Don't open the door. "

Yuexian frowned.

"Open the door. It's normal to want company when you're scared."

"No need… I'm fine."

"You're still a child. Acting tough doesn't hide fear,"she said.

A moment later, Lady Mingyan entered quietly. She placed her hand on his forehead.

"Everything's normal,"she whispered. "What was that it feels like it was real. " "You know your father wa demon blood.Demon blood show dream where you have to fight.But your mother is actually a farrey blood.Human see wet dream where they see opposite gender. Three kind of blood mix in your body.Demon father. Fairy mother. Your grandfather was a plant spirit.What I wanna say your mix blood give you dream with lust and horror That's why you need strong soul."

"Plant fairy?"

"Your dreams… the emotions… they're from your fairy blood."

She took him to the bath and set up a formation for privacy. When she helped him remove his outer robe, Lin Yuan turned away awkwardly.

"I can do it myself!"

"Oh?" she smirked. "You think I haven't seen you naked before.
