When both Lin Zisheng and the fox fell into silence, Lin Zisheng, who had been lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes. His slightly squinted eyes showed a hint of scrutiny. Evidently, he had noticed the “thing” beside Luzi Yang.
That “thing” seemed to be a demon spirit, with demonic energy boiling all over its body. However, it didn’t harm the people around it, and it even seemed to lack much power. This was rather strange. But in an instant, Lin Zisheng seemed to have seen a mark on the figure, and he immediately understood what it was.
This fox appeared to be a demon spirit sealed by an alchemist. Although it had no demonic power, its imposing aura was still present. While it couldn’t harm anyone, it served as a significant deterrent to those mischievous demons. At the very least, it could protect Luzi Yang’s safety. Regardless of who did this, it was for his protection.
However, Lin Zisheng couldn’t help but be concerned about that demon spirit. Would such a seething grudge pose any danger?
[Host, that demon spirit won’t have any impact on the male lead,] said 001 firmly.
The demon spirit had been mentioned in the plot before, and it had a special affection for Luzi Yang. [This demon spirit is a friend, not an enemy.]
“Currently, that’s true. But if it’s grudge intensifies, I’m not so sure,” Lin Zisheng replied. The grudge and killing intent emanating from the demon spirit were almost solidifying. If Luzi Yang weren’t a demon catcher, he would probably have been consumed by that grudge, turning into a monster only driven by killing!
[You don’t need to worry; it will never harm the male lead] 001 reassured, swinging its small tail and yawning. Apparently, it paid no attention to the newly emerged grudge from the demon spirit.
Since 001 said there was no problem, Lin Zisheng became less concerned. He closed his eyes again and focused on absorbing the effects of the Emperor’s Fluid. Only when it was time for dinner did he gradually regain consciousness.
After stretching his body, Lin Zisheng looked satisfied. After these two supplements, his body had already recovered quite a bit. Though he still felt some pain, it wouldn’t have much impact anymore.
“It’s time for dinner. I wonder what we’ll be having tonight?” Lin Zisheng didn’t consider himself a pet; instead, he acted like someone waiting to be served.
[Host, if you continue like this, you’ll soon lose your ability to take care of yourself!] 001 looked at Lin Zisheng, who was about to cheerfully leave, with deep disdain. The host had indeed been spoiled by the male lead. How could they complete the mission happily if things kept going like this?
“Don’t worry, no matter what I become, it won’t affect the mission.” Lin Zisheng yawned slightly. It was evident he hadn’t fully rested, but he forced himself to get up, probably because he remembered there might be something delicious to eat in the evening.
At this moment, 001 realized belatedly that it had unintentionally spoken its thoughts out loud.
Pushing the door open with its small paw, Lin Zisheng walked out slowly. To his surprise, there was only Bai Yan in the living room. Had Luzi Yang left?
“Hey, Xiao Bai, you’re awake? Are you hungry? Don’t worry; Ah Yang’s preparing dinner, and we’ll eat soon.” Thinking of how Luzi Yang volunteered to make dinner just now, Bai Yan deeply despised him , don’t think she doesn’t know what’s going on!
Ah… Ah Yang?
Could it be that Luzi Yang was cooking dinner? That was simply horrifying!
However, when he caught a whiff of the aroma, Lin Zisheng suddenly felt that maybe there was no need to worry so much. Perhaps what Luzi Yang prepared would still be edible.
“Alright, everything’s ready. Let’s eat.” There were quite a few dishes on the table, but there was only one plate of stir-fried tomatoes and eggs in front of Bai Yan. It was a simple dish, making her feel quite resentful!
“Luzi Yang, you have to show some restraint when bullying people. I want to eat those dishes too!” Bai Yan looked at the exquisite dishes in front of Lin Zisheng, full of envy and jealousy. Why did she have to eat such a tasteless thing!
Luzi Yang raised an eyebrow and didn’t refuse. “Sure, but I’ve added something special to these dishes. If you can handle it, go ahead and eat.”
He had prepared this table of food specifically for the little fellow’s health. It wasn’t something just anyone could eat. Even he wouldn’t dare to take a bite.
At this moment, 001 started its explanation, [Host, these are all excellent things. The male lead this time is simply too considerate,]
001 walked to a plate of food and pointed to the purplish-green leaves, similar to kale, with excitement. [This thing is the fruit of the Demonization Fruit. It’s said that the Demonization Fruit bears fruit only once every five hundred years, and the fruit becomes edible after another thousand years.]
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
[The fruit of the Demonization Fruit can increase a demon’s demonic power and even enhance their bloodline. So, every moment, the Demonization Fruit has powerful demons guarding it. Now, it seems like the male lead has spared no expense.]

However, Luzi Yang saw the little one twist his face, clearly showing an “I don’t like it, I don’t want to eat it” expression, leaving Luzi Yang amused and exasperated.
On the other hand, Bai Yan found it extremely amusing. To see Luzi Yang being denied dinner twice in one day, could anything be more enjoyable than this?
“It’s good for your body. Even if you don’t like it, you have to eat it.” Although Luzi Yang’s tone was somewhat firm, his voice remained gentle. However, Lin Zisheng still refused. Just when Luzi Yang was puzzled, he saw Lin Zisheng extending a small paw, and suddenly, he understood.
Then Luzi Yang found a towel and gently wiped his small paw clean before the joyful feeding time began. No matter what Luzi Yang fed him, Lin Zisheng ate it without hesitation. After all, it was all good stuff, and eating more of it wouldn’t hurt.
Luzi Yang was extremely pleased to see his little one being so obedient, and his face was full of tenderness.
In Bai Yan’s eyes, this was a “perverted training game,” and the pitiful one being raised was her Xiao Bai. She couldn’t bear it!
But she had to bear it. Luzi Yang makes no distinction between male and female, and even before, he probably didn’t think of himself as a human. But now, Xiao Bai was the only one who was different in his heart.
However, Luzi Yang was increasingly looking like a pervert, and it was truly pitiful to witness.
“Are you done eating? Do you want some more?” Seeing Lin Zisheng no longer opening his mouth, Luzi Yang asked gently. Considering the amount he had just eaten, it seemed like it should be enough. Lin Zisheng nodded, and Luzi Yang said, “Wait a moment, there’s something else for you. After eating this, you can rest.”
After a few minutes, Luzi Yang came back with a small bowl containing five or six small particles. The particles were a brilliant golden color, making people eager to try them, especially when Luzi Yang placed the bowl on the table, and the small particles bounced in the bowl without making any sound, showing that these particles had good elasticity.
“Oh? What is this? It’s adorable. Can I have one to try?” After saying that, Bai Yan extended her hand to take one, but Luzi Yang stopped her.
“This is a dessert for my little one after the meal. Why do you want to join in the fun? Do you also want to eat it?” Luzi Yang spoke with a smile while looking at Bai Yan. There was a touch of unpredictable color in his eyes, making Bai Yan immediately not dare to say anything, just standing there honestly.
Joking aside, the thing in Luzi Yang’s hand was something that could be eaten casually, but if one ate the wrong thing, it could probably cost half their life!
Lin Zisheng paid no attention to the two people and instead extended his small paw, pressing it on the round bead. “Is this the pure Emperor’s Fluid?” Although he knew what the Emperor’s Fluid was, seeing it for the first time was still astonishing.
[It shouldn’t be called pure but rather concentrated. Based on the amount you’ve consumed so far, you could probably become a demon in less than half a month and achieve human form in half a year. I’m just not sure if the quantity in Luzi Yang’s hand is enough.] This thing might be of no use to humans, but it was a great tonic for demons. If he could absorb the Emperor’s Fluid for one night, it was said to be equivalent to a thousand years of cultivation.
[The male lead is so generous, it’s really frightening!] If it were just ordinary, it would be fine, but now the male lead is so generous that it feels somewhat unbelievable!
“There’s nothing to be afraid of. It’s not for you to eat.” With that said, Lin Zisheng didn’t hesitate and rolled his tongue to swallow the Emperor’s Fluid, which had a sweet taste and made his whole body feel warm. Indeed, this stuff was not bad at all.
Because everything he ate today contained rich energy, Lin Zisheng now felt a bit dazed. He needed more time to absorb the medicinal power. Maybe tomorrow morning, he would find that he had turned into a demon.
[Host, you don’t need to secretly guess. Although your injuries have healed, the power of Heavenly Tribulation left in your body is still slowly damaging it. Moreover, your meridians need repairing too. So, if you want to transform into a demon, it will probably take some time.] 001 shattered Lin Zisheng’s dreams without hesitation.
Lin Zisheng smiled faintly without explaining too much, letting Luzi Yang carry him back to his room to rest.
As soon as he was placed on the cushion this time, Lin Zisheng immediately fell into a drowsy state, allowing his body to better absorb the energy.
When he woke up again, Lin Zisheng found that it was already daylight. The time displayed on the opposite wall was 10:45. It was really not early. This was the first time he had slept in this late.
“Are you awake? Come and have breakfast.”
Breakfast… already?
Had it come to this time already?
Lin Zisheng looked at his small body with some worry. Now that he had eaten to his heart’s content and slept well, he felt like he was turning a little chubby. No, he had to go out today and exercise his body!
Just like yesterday, even breakfast was a joyful feeding time. Despite the pitiful eyes that Bai Yan gave, Luzi Yang’s hand remained steady.
“Little one, how about we go for a walk after breakfast?”
Without the plan to go for a walk, the little one might start sticking to Bai Yan, and he didn’t like that. He wanted the little one to stick to only him.
“Hey, Luzi Yang, what do you mean? Aren’t you going to take me out too?” Watching the interaction between the two, no, between the man and the beast, Bai Yan couldn’t understand why they had no intention of taking her along. It was truly unfair!
“Well, I’m not planning on taking you out. I’m taking the little one to a place that’s not suitable for you.” Luzi Yang’s words left Bai Yan feeling downcast. She knew Luzi Yang wouldn’t lie about such trivial matters, so she didn’t bother lying either.
However, this only made her more curious about where the two of them were going.
In the end, Luzi Yang didn’t reveal where they were going but directly took Lin Zisheng away.
“Little one, we’re going to the Demon Realm next. Although you can become a demon like this, demons who haven’t been bathed in the aura of the Demon Realm won’t become strong. I don’t want you to be weak.”
Luzi Yang’s emotions were complicated now. On one hand, he wanted to create the most perfect, beautiful, and powerful demon, but on the other hand, he feared that his current actions were wrong.
After hearing Luzi Yang’s words, Lin Zisheng was simply dumbfounded. The male lead was actually taking him to the Demon Realm. What was wrong with the plot now? Why didn’t it match his script?
On the side, the red fox listened to Luzi Yang’s words with a complex expression in his eyes. At this moment, that little one was still so important in Luzi Yang’s heart. If he had been equally important to Lin Xiao back then, perhaps all the tragic events could have been avoided.
Now, looking at Luzi Yang, the red fox felt that his hatred was gradually diminishing.
What the red fox didn’t know was that while he was lost in thought, Lin Zisheng, who had been in Luzi Yang’s arms all this time, suddenly raised his head and looked in his direction. Then, he turned his gaze away, as if he didn’t notice anything.
Luzi Yang continued walking slowly until a faint demonic aura filled the air. He stopped his steps, as he couldn’t go any further; the place beyond was not where he could go. Even if he forced his way in, it might not be a good thing for the little one.
“Little one, you’ll have to go on your own from here. But don’t worry, I won’t leave. I’ll wait here for you, okay?” Saying this, Luzi Yang placed Lin Zisheng on the ground, signaling for him to leave quickly.
Lin Zisheng didn’t hesitate upon seeing his gesture and turned to leave. Since this man said he would wait here, he would come back quickly!
After walking for a while, with the help of 001, Lin Zisheng finally arrived at the true demon realm. There stood the Demon Torrent Tree, rumored to have formed from the remains of a powerful demon.
Originally, there was no Demon Realm in this world, and demons were constantly hunted by humans. One day, a great demon tried to save the dwindling demon race. He used his power to open up a realm and placed his skeletal remains at its center to support the new realm, which later became the Demon Realm.
“What exactly is here that you insisted on me coming here?”
Yes, Lin Zisheng’s reason for coming here was not only because Luzi Yang wanted to bring him, but there was another important reason: 001 had said that there was something he needed here, and he had to get it.
[Host, don’t you know how the Demon Realm was formed? Now, I’ll tell you something that people don’t know, such as what lies beneath this Demon Torrent Tree.] Yes, the Demon Torrent Tree was indeed formed from the remains of that powerful demon, but there was something even more important below it.
“What is that thing you’re talking about? You’re acting all mysterious.”
001’s manner made Lin Zisheng feel curious. What could be so important here that 001 was so concerned about?
[When that great demon’s body became the core to suppress this realm, his demon core was also left behind.] 001’s tone was filled with excitement.
[Moreover, host, you don’t know this, but the original form of that great demon was actually a Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox. Although you and he are both fox clans, you are different. The Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox is a combat race, and their demon cores contain a violent power completely different from that of ordinary demons!] Hearing this, Lin Zisheng became interested. Although he didn’t know how 001 knew all this, if it was true, it would be of great benefit to him.
[Host, drip your blood down here, and you’ll immediately obtain that great demon’s demon core.] Although demon cores had spiritual intelligence, they couldn’t resist the attraction of their own race. Moreover, Lin Zisheng was now a powerful demon in this world, and obtaining a demon core would be as easy as falling off a log.
After hearing 001’s words, Lin Zisheng bit his paw and let his blood drip down. After about ten minutes, the entire area emitted a red light, but it disappeared in a flash. However, many demons noticed this scene.
[Host, be quick, swallow the demon core and leave here immediately. When all the demons find out, it will be too late!] Now, Lin Zisheng’s body was no longer as imposing as before. Although it didn’t affect his movements, his intimidation towards other demons had greatly diminished, even inferior to the aura around Luzi Yang’s side.
Lin Zisheng naturally knew the situation was urgent. In the instant the demon core floated up, he swallowed it and quickly ran towards the boundary between the Human Realm and the Demon Realm. By the time those demons found the Demon Torrent Tree, Lin Zisheng had already left the Demon Realm.
Luzi Yang, who had been waiting for Lin Zisheng’s return, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the little white figure. When he felt that the little one was really tainted with demonic aura, a happy smile appeared on his face.
“Little one, well done!” Saying this, Luzi Yang picked him up and lightly kissed his forehead.
[Hehe, he only kisses the forehead? The male protagonist of this world is so innocent,] a slightly mocking voice from 001 sounded in Lin Zisheng’s ears, making him feel a bit amused. Indeed, the lover in this world seemed to be quite innocent.
Meanwhile, the red fox beside Luzi Yang had all its fur standing on end and showed obvious fear in its eyes when it saw Lin Zisheng. When he left earlier, there was no demonic aura on the little one, but now the aura became so terrifying!
No, it wasn’t demonic aura, but… he had eaten something that caused the demonic aura to condense within his body, making it appear not too dense.
The red fox wanted to speak up and tell Luzi Yang how dangerous the seemingly harmless little one in his arms was!
Just at that moment, Lin Zisheng, who had been quietly lying in Luzi Yang’s arms, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the red fox with an infinite chill in his gaze. Although there was no killing intent, the plain look made the red fox feel terrified, and all the words he wanted to say were swallowed back.
He knew that if he said something he shouldn’t, he would be doomed!
Although this feeling was strange, becoming a demonic soul had weakened many of the red fox’s senses, but his sixth sense had improved. If he felt danger, then there must be real danger!
“Hurry, something is coming after us!” Suppressing the words he wanted to say, the red fox felt an even greater danger coming from behind, and it seemed to be directed at the little one in Luzi Yang’s arms!
The red fox knew that Luzi Yang would never abandon that little one now, so the only way was to escape quickly!
Upon hearing this, Luzi Yang quickened his pace. Although he didn’t understand why the demonic soul by his side said this, he believed that this demonic soul would not deceive him. After all, the red fox had been with him since the day he was born and had never harmed him. It was precisely because of this that Luzi Yang believed that humans and demons could coexist.
Finally, after five minutes, Lin Zisheng managed to shake off the powerful demonic presence behind him. He then breathed a sigh of relief. At least, for now, there was no danger.
However, Lin Zisheng didn’t let his guard down because he felt something following them. Just as they had come out earlier, that presence had followed them and quickly concealed its demonic aura, making it impossible to sense that it was still tailing them.
“Does 001 know what that thing was that just chased after us? Why does it keep pursuing me?” Lin Zisheng asked.
[Ding dong, you’ve received a mission]
[Hidden Mission 1: Investigate what chased you from the Demon Realm and reveal its true identity.]
[Rewards: Character Points 30, Skill Points 3, Equipment Points 3, Attribute Points 5.]
After hearing 001’s response, Lin Zisheng was taken aback. He never expected to receive a mission at this moment, and it seemed to be a chain of hidden missions just like in the previous world.
