Chapter 777: Destructive Urges

”Why donʼt we just tell them that itʼs a medical condition he has?” Chu Liuxiang asked.

”No, that wonʼt work. I already told the Manager that there was no such thing.”

”Oh! I know! We can tell them that it was caused by one of the techniques heʼs currently cultivating!”

Meixiu stared at her in silence for a few moments before nodding, ”That will work.”

”Okay, letʼs tell them that then.”

Sometime later, the Qi Family returned.

”How is he doing?” Qi Man asked.

”Heʼs doing fine. Itʼs just the backlash of one of his techniques that heʼs currently trying to master, thatʼs all. His episode should be cleared in a few days.”

”It was caused by a technique? I have never heard of a technique that has made people sick before…” Qi Huan said in a worried tone.

”But as long as heʼs fine, I am relieved.”

”If you need anything, just let us know. Weʼve also prepared a room for you two.” Qi Man said to them.

”Itʼs alright, we will stay here with him.” Chu Liuxiang said.

”Out here? In the cold? You know we cannot have our guests live in such conditions.” They raised their eyebrows.

”Why donʼt the two of you take turns watching over him?”

The two of them exchanged looks with each other before nodding their heads.

”I can watch over him first.” Chu Liuxiang said.

”We switch out every 8 hours?” Meixiu asked.

”Okay.”

Meixiu then turned to look at Qi Man and asked him, ”While she stays here, I would like to join your Qi Familyʼs training sessions. You guys are taught to fight demons, right? I would like to learn.”

A bittersweet smile appeared on Qi Manʼs face as he spoke, ”If you want to learn, you already have the very best. I donʼt think we will be very helpful to you. In fact, I am now doubting if our training is even useful at all.”

”Even then, I would still like to learn— at least until he recovers.” Meixiu said.

”Alright. Training should be starting soon. Follow me.”

Meixiu left the Qi Man and the others while Chu Liuxiang stayed behind.

”I will be right outside if you need me, Yuan.”

She sat down in front of the door and began cultivating.

Meanwhile, Meixiu followed Qi Man to this area with a large building and a massive field in the front.

”Thereʼs a lot of people here…” She mumbled when she saw hundreds of people gathered outside the training field.

”My Qi Family has almost 2,000 people. Of course, they are not all family by blood. We take disciples from around the world and teach them how to seal demons. As for our fighting experience… We really have.”

”Have you ever fought a demon before?” Qi Man turned to ask Meixiu.

”No, I have not.” She shook her head.

”I have seen dozens of demons throughout my life, but they were all already sealed, so I have never seen their prowess… at least until yesterday.”

”When I first saw the demon unsealed for the first time, my entire body froze from shock, and my instinct was to run away as quickly as possible.”

”Even though I didnʼt personally face the demon… Even though Yuan completely dominated the demon and made it look weak… I can tell that I am no match for the demon.”

”And if someone like me is scared of demons, I cannot imagine how these young demon sealers will react before an unsealed demon— at least not with their current training.”

”Thatʼs why I asked Yuan to be our lecturer. Iʼm certain that we can all learn something from him.”

Sometime later, Qi Man brought Meixiu to the field.

When the instructors and the disciples saw Qi Man, they all stopped whatever they were doing and bowed to him.

”Greetings, Ancestor!”

”Listen up!” Qi Man spoke out loud.

”Due to some complications, our new instructor will not be here for a few more days. Therefore, you will train normally for now. My friend here will be joining your training today. Treat her well.”

Everybody there turned to look at Meixiu. Many nervous gulps resounded from people that were taken aback by her beauty, and there were so many that it sounded really weird.

Meanwhile, inside his room, Yuan was trying to suppress his urges to destroy everything in the room.

If he so much as looks at anything, his destructive urges would flare up, so he locked his divine sense.

ʼIs this what causes demonsʼ destructive nature? I only have some chaotic energy left in my body, yet the urges are still this strong. I cannot imagine what it must be like to be a demon that has to endure this for their entire life.ʼ

If he had to endure this urge for the rest of his life, there was no doubt that he would eventually stop suppressing his urges and go wild.

When he realized this, Yuan stopped blaming demons as much, and he even pitied their tragic life.

However, there was another feeling in Yuan that was very worrisome for him, and that was the feeling from last night that hasnʼt been satisfied.

ʼDamn it, I am already trying my best to deal with my destructive urges. If I also have to control my sexual urges, I wonʼt be able to cultivate at all!ʼ He cried inwardly.

After pondering for a moment, Yuan cleared his throat and spoke out loud, ”L-Lulu… Is Meixiu out there?”

”No, she went to train with the Qi Family. Do you need help?”

”Kind of… When will she come back?”

”Well, itʼs been two hours since she left, so she wonʼt return for another six hours.”

”Six hours…” Yuanʼs sighing voice could be heard from inside the building.

”If you need help, I can help you!”

”I-Itʼs a little complicated. Itʼs okay, I can just wait.”

After a moment of silence, Chu Liuxiangʼs voice resounded, ”Yuan… No matter how complicated it is, I want to help you! You have helped me so many times now, yet I have not been able to return the favor. Please, let me help you!”

The place turned dead silent after that.

Chu Liuxiang sighed in a dispirited manner, but just as she was able to give up, she heard the door behind her being unlocked.

”Come inside…” Yuan said to her.

”Coming!” Chu Liuxiang eagerly entered the building.
