Chapter Eighteen You Are Also A Demon Clan

  She Ruwen, since returning from the hot spring, immediately regained her usual energetic and lively demeanor, which made Su Qier feel a bit annoyed, apparently she still preferred quieter surroundings.

  "Huh? Where's Yu Ruiwen? He was just in front of me, fluttering about nonstop, how did he suddenly disappear?" Could it be that Yu Ruiwen had a sudden attack of conscience and left? Su Qi wondered boldly.

  Lu Ke nodded slightly towards Su Qi Ruo, and Su Qi Ruo immediately followed the direction to look for him. As a result, she surprisingly found that Shu Rui Wen had run downstairs at some point.

  "This dead snake, how many times have I told him not to jump out the window? And yet he jumped down from the balcony! In broad daylight, what's going to happen when people see him?" Su Qi rushed downstairs and scolded Xi Ruiwen, without considering whether Xi Ruiwen could hear her or not.

  "Huh?" Su Qi furrowed her brow, making sure she wasn't seeing things wrong, and then couldn't help but shout, "This dead snake, he's too evil to be taking advantage of a little girl like that!"

  "Little girl?" Lu Ke hadn't paid attention to Su Qi's words before, but after being asked like this, he walked over and observed Xi Ruiwen for a while, calmly reminding, "Should be an adult already."

  "That's not going to work either! How old is he?" Su Qi Ruo looked like a mother hen protecting her chick, and Lu Ke gave her a stern glance. "Shi Ruwen is only 17, do you think it's normal for him to be with someone of your age?"

  "Uh..." Su Qi Ruo suddenly felt stifled, and in the past few days of interacting with Yang Ruwen, she had completely forgotten about Yang Ruwen's actual age. 17-year-old Yang Ruwen, 18-year-old Lu Ke, and herself were actually two generations apart from the two boys by her side. A strong sense of defeat attacked Su Qi Ruo, and she silently stood in place.

  Su Qi's dejected appearance made Lu Ke feel helpless. Why do humans care about age? "He's more interested in you." A comforting phrase that Lu Ke blurted out, making him suddenly feel strange - why was he comforting Su Qi? No, I wasn't comforting her, I was just stating the fact, Lu Ke explained to himself calmly.

  "Unfortunately, I'm no longer a little girl." Mentioning age, Su Qi's heart was filled with the same melancholy that every girl has.

  Lu Ke couldn't adapt to Su Qi's melancholy, leaving him unsure of how to react. He turned around and returned to the living room, lightly saying, "Does it have anything to do with a little girl? He only cares about Lingyuan."

  "Lingyuan?" Su Qi suddenly regained her spirit, and the knowledge-thirsty her immediately shook off the distraction of just now, excitedly asking, "What is Lingyuan? What's it used for?" Su Qi's inherited power had not yet fully awakened, and now she was being monitored by two demon clans. Although she didn't think Lu Ke and Xian Ruiwen would pose a threat to her, the fact that she, as one of the six ancient gods, had such a huge gap in inheritance with the demon clan made Su Qi feel defeated. She gradually became curious about the affairs of the gods and demons. Perhaps she could find a way to fully awaken her own inherited power from this knowledge of the gods and demons.

  "The source of spiritual power." Seeing Su Qi still looked confused, Lu Ke rarely explained with a good heart, "It's like some stones that can glow." As he spoke, a round stone suddenly appeared in Lu Ke's empty hand, and he weighed it while playing with it.

  Su Qi was secretly shocked, how did a stone suddenly appear? Did he still have a storage bag or an incomplete space? Why didn't he have one? Was the inheritance incomplete?

  Since it glows, it means that there is something in it that makes it glow. If we find the source of this glow and put it on other things, those things will also glow. Spiritual power is the same, there is no spiritual power that appears without a reason. Since there is spiritual power, it means that there must be a source that makes spiritual power appear, and this source is called the spiritual origin. As he spoke, the ordinary round stone in Lu Ke's hand suddenly emitted a sparkling green light, like fireflies wandering in the dark night.

  "Could this be a spiritual stone?" Su Qi's eyes were fixed on the stone in Lu Ke's hand, her gaze unwavering. This was her first time seeing a spiritual stone; she had never thought that such a thing truly existed in the world. Could the spiritual energy contained within this stone be absorbed by her, and would it help to awaken her inherited abilities?

  It seemed that Su Qi had noticed the greedy gaze, Lu Ke suddenly grasped the stone tightly, and the starry green light gradually gathered into a fine line, swirling and disappearing in Lu Ke's hand. When Lu Ke opened his hand again, the spirit stone returned to its ordinary appearance. "What's going on?"

  "The Lingyuan has been taken away by me." The stone in Lu Ke's hand disappeared instantly, just like when it appeared, quietly and without a sound. But Su Qi discovered that a green light appeared in the palm of Lu Ke's hand, with a bright and transparent green color that was exactly the same as the green light that had appeared on the stone earlier. "This is the Lingyuan, the stone was just its medium."

  "It's too amazing." Su Qi said with a sigh of amazement.

  "As for the girl Shi Ruwen is concerned about, she is also a spiritual source."

  "What? Humans can also be spiritual sources?" Ling Shi Su Qieruo could understand, it was written like this everywhere, but humans being able to automatically emit spiritual energy just like spiritual stones wasn't that strange?

  "In places where mountains and rivers converge, there are many temples and mausoleums. This is because the human tribe has long discovered that these areas are often gathering places for spiritual energy. For thousands of years, humans have lived in these areas to cultivate their spirituality and seek immortality. However, humans have never truly understood the source of this spiritual energy, or its origins. That's why they continue to live in these areas for generations. If it were the demon tribe, they would have long ago harnessed the spiritual energy for their own use." Lu Ke couldn't help but feel a hint of disdain towards the human tribe's behavior.

  "Wait, is Su Ruiwen entwining that girl like he's stealing her spiritual energy?" Su Qiye didn't even have time to listen to Lu Ke Pu explain the concept of spiritual energy, and hastily put on his shoes to rush downstairs.

  "Where are you going?" Su Qi suddenly playing hooky made Lu Ke very dissatisfied.

  Su Qi said while putting on her shoes, "Of course, we're going to stop Yang Ruiwen!"

  "What's the hurry? Even if she loses her spiritual source, she'll just become an ordinary person and won't be harmed."

  "What?" Su Qi'er stopped in her tracks, and upon hearing Lu Ke's words, she vaguely recalled that when Lu Ke had attacked her before, he seemed to have said something similar - that after taking the Spiritual Energy, she would become an ordinary person.

  Su Qi Ruo finally put her mind at ease, but as soon as she thought that Xie Ru Wen was just using the little girl, she felt a bit indignant. "How can the Demon Clan be so evil and use people like this!" Su Qi Ruo's tone of voice was like a woman who had been used and abandoned by a scoundrel man.

  After hearing Su Qi Ruo's words, a hint of ridicule flashed across Lu Ke's face as he asked seemingly unintentionally, "Do you know where the term 'demon' originated from?"

  "Monster?" Su Qi'er thought for a moment, "Evil spirits, wicked things, things that destroy people's hearts, it's roughly like that." Although the word is often used, explaining its meaning in detail isn't easy.

  Lu Ke was once again convinced by Su Qi's ignorance, "This saying originated from the Divine Clan, anything that is not of our kind is a demon. All those who are different from the Divine Clan are called demons." Lu Ke suddenly changed his tone and asked Su Qi, "Are you human?"

  "Nonsense!" This sentence would be regarded as a blatant provocation and insult whoever you ask.

  "So, you're also from the Demon Clan."
