Chapter 21 - Devil Bloodline

Seth and Meiyi were walking hand in hand, approaching the entrance to the female's house district when suddenly Seth stopped. Meiyi stopped as well and looked at him.

Seth used his senses and checked for anyone that could be possible eavesdropping, but when he confirmed there was none he said: "Meiyi, now that you decided to stay with me, I have something really important to tell you."

"What is it?" He piqued her interest.

Seth let go of her hand and raised his hand with determination, this would be a crucial point on whether this relationship would go forwards or end prematurely.

A dark energy enveloped his hand dropping the temperature of the environment and giving it an eerie feeling.

"I'm half-devil." After saying this he extinguished the dark energy thoroughly.

Meiyi took a deep breath, shocked by his revelation. Humans and Demons weren't mortal enemies of each other nor would they mutually slaughter the other side upon meeting, but there would always be some disdain and reproach between them. After all, some conflicts are inevitable, be it in the past or now.

To be associated with a demon, even if it was half a demon would inevitably bring you some reproachful stares, or even worse, some fanatics would start to hate you.

The main factor that would label a person as a demon was darkness attribute energy. The human and other races couldn't handle that energy inside their bodies, but demons could.

Darkness element is the hardest to control and would often be called a double-edged sword. It could destroy a practitioner's body thoroughly if he was careless. Demons needed a medium to use darkness, be it a part of his body or any outside artifact, but ultimately it was necessary to have some compatibilities, or else cultivating it would be your doom.

Devils though, are those who can use darkness element independently and their risk of getting hurt by it was almost null. Their body was made to hold darkness, to be its host and its master! For that motive, demons would often dilute darkness with other elements to lessen the burden, but devils wouldn't.

Seth's condition was a bit special. He wasn't entirely a devil, in fact, he "acquired" that racial trait and it was in perfect synchrony inside his body. His mastery over darkness was surprisingly high, so high that he was as good as any of those considered pure devils in this continent.

Meiyi felt like she was always at a loss whenever the matter was concerning about Seth. She froze and didn't know how to answer him. Her mind was in disarray and even her eyes started to show signs of fear and uncertainty.

Seth sighed, turned around and started to slowly walk away. He knew that she would require time. It didn't matter if it was to accept or deny, she would still require time.

What he didn't know was that, he was the only person that has ever valued her other than her mother. When she saw him walking away dejectedly, her doubts suddenly vanished, she feared losing him more than the other outcomes.

Meiyi didn't give herself anytime to think it over, she then, reached out for his hands and grabbed it. Not answering anything.

Seth smile has never been any happier than now, no answer was required anymore. She overcame whatever barrier that clouded her judgement and accepted him. With time he would reveal her his other secrets. For now, that was enough.

Seth accompanied Meiyi until the entrance and then vanished to do his magic trick.

Wu Caizhi was grabbing whatever she had in the house that was still able to be used, while Lilian was wrecking her mind trying to arrange a place for her to move on to. Her only friend on the sect was Wu Caizhi. She didn't know anyone else and all houses were already occupied. It was forbidden to bring outsiders to the Royal Palace, even if it was her childhood friend.

Yuyin was watching them at the side and couldn't help but mumble: "Why don't you ask big brother Seth to let her stay on his house?"

"Huh? How could I forget? It is impossible to ask him for help as his house is on the male district, I can't allow Caizhi to live there, but he said something about a girl called Chun Meiyi. We could ask her for this favor! The houses are big enough for six people living together." Lilian has made up her mind.

"Let's go find out where she lives."

The group of top-grade beauties started to ask the female disciples in the area if they have ever heard of Chun Meiyi. After the initial moment of shock and reverence, as they were having the opportunity to talk to the little queen of the entire sect, someone they never dreamed they would have the opportunity to approach, every girl would give them a positive answer. What amazed them was that Meiyi was a hot topic and everyone has at least heard about her name.

So far everyone knew her, but didn't know where she lived. Fortunately for them, they were at the right place at the right time.

"Chun Meiyi? Isn't it the girl entering that house over there?" A female disciple that has seen her before recognized her just when she was entering her house.

They saw a purple haired delicate girl carrying two swords and a bag full of resources, trying to open the formation of the door in front of her, but the many things that she was carrying were hindering her from doing the deed.

"Damned Seth, bet he threw all this on me just to avoid carrying anything!"

When the group approached her, they could hear the girl mumbling in discontent.

"Hi there! If you're carrying anything heavy, we could help you." Lilian offered her help, trying to make a bridge between them.

"It's not heavy, just that there are many things." Chun Meiyi didn't turn to see who was offering help, as she was struggling to open the door while carrying so many stuffs.

Then Lilian came and grabbed the bag from her hands, freeing her of some trouble.

"My name is Huo Lilian, nice to meet you. I would like to talk with you inside the house, if possible."

Meiyi turned around as fast as lightning. When she saw the almighty core disciple Huo Lilian, the first princess of the sect and at the same time the strongest disciple, she almost fainted on the spot.

Lilian standings on the sect was even higher than any elder, although she wasn't as strong as one of them. So, meeting her would be the same as meeting a Vice Sect Master.

Meiyi got so stunned that she even forgot to reply. What was happening today? So many mind-boggling things happening to her.

"H-Hi. I-I'm Chun Meiyi! Please come in."

She hastily opened the door and invited the girls inside her house.

She was so anxious that she completely forgot about the most important fact. She was not living alone anymore.

When the girls got to the living room, they heard something like a water falling sound continuously coming from the bathroom of the first floor.

"Is there another girl living with you here?" Lilian turned to Meiyi asking about it.

Chun Meiyi instantly froze, her complexion quickly turning purple. How could she forget it? The beast was living in her house now, and it seemed that he was in the bathroom taking a shower.

"Uhh eehh uhmm... Yeah, I'm living together with a friend!" She was restless, fidgeting.

Fate is merciless, her lie didn't last even ten seconds before being exposed.

The door of the bathroom opened and Seth came from inside, feeling refreshed after cleaning the sweat out of his body. This time around he was dressed.

But when he saw a group of beautiful females staring at him, he started to sweat again.

"You... Why would you..." Meiyi facepalmed.

"You! What are you doing here?!" Lilian was more curious than furious.

"Big Brother! You!" Yuyin got excited.

"You!!!"

But when Wu Caizhi excitedly shouted, all girls instantly looked at her full of doubts.
