"You just went up to the hill to make out in your car, right? Too embarrassed to admit it? If you're bold enough to do it, what's there to fear?" Xiaoqian spoke casually.

Li Tianjiao's face turned red.

"Alright, it's fine. You're not some kind of monster." Ye Tian laughed heartily, continuing with a serious tone to comfort Li Tianjiao.

"But why..."

"There is no why. Li, do you know there are many things in this world that we just can't explain? What you're experiencing is one of those things, so don't worry. It's just a perk given to you by the old man upstairs when he created you."

"But, I don't want this kind of perk." Li Tianjiao just wanted to be an ordinary person, living under his father's halo.

"Even if you have it now, you're still an ordinary person. Isn't it good to be unharmed?" asked Ye Tian.

"I just want to be the most ordinary kind of person."

"You can't give it up, and maybe the heavens intend for you to achieve great things. You need to figure this out on your own." Ye Tian said no more, knowing it was futile to go on.

Li Tianjiao looked at Ye Tian, then at Xiaoqian, and said carefully,

"Is it possible that you two also have such abilities?"

"We don't, but we know some people do. Of course, among them are both good and bad. If you can keep yourself well-hidden, that's enough. But if one day you are indeed exploited by the bad ones, I'm afraid that won't end well."

Ye Tian worried about this the most. A person who can't be injured is much better off than someone like Ling Rong, who was artificially altered. If exploited, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Xiaoqian had an indifferent attitude; she had seen too much. People always dream about being extraordinary, but when they truly become different, it might terrify them.

Blindly following others is probably how it is. Public opinion can easily kill someone!

Regardless of the process, for now, Li Tianjiao was learning from Ye Tian.

Li Tianjiao's physical fitness was not up to par. Just thinking about sparring with himself for five minutes, and it wasn't even a match, but him merely just beating himself up, and already gasping for breath, how can this be alright.

Ye Tian pondered how he could thoroughly transform Li Tianjiao in the shortest amount of time.

Fortunately, the Sixth Group didn't have much going on recently, only Qin Chuan and Fatty Xu would sometimes bother Ye Tian. Actually, Qin Chuan wasn't even a bother; he would just occasionally give Ye Tian a condescending look.

Ye Tian was very strict with Li Tianjiao; if a move was unsatisfactory or if time was over, he would be punished to do it ten times more. The high-intensity training turned Li Tianjiao's pale skin to a healthy wheat color.

Xiaoqian usually just watched from the side as if deep in thought, her brows sometimes deeply furrowed, which made Ye Tian uncomfortable.

Life was calm now, Ye Tian went to work as usual and after work would train Li Tianjiao intensively, with Xiaoqian obediently by their side.

Sometimes Ye Tian would wonder if he would have lived such a peaceful life if that incident had never happened.

People always say that even the heavens can't stand such a life.

Indeed, a disturbing event occurred in Suhe City in the south. In the past week, several human skulls with bloodstains, as if gnawed on by something, were found in garbage bins.

This kind of news flooded the television channels.

"Again with this, can't I just enjoy my cartoons in peace?" Xiaoqian frowned.

"People nowadays are somewhat twisted, how can they consume human flesh? Although in ancient times of war, there was cannibalism, the situation isn't nearly as dire now, is it?" Ye Tian watched the pixelated image on the television, but it still exuded a sinister vibe.

"What kind of person is twisted? It wasn't done by a person, but eaten by animals." Xiaoqian continued flipping channels coolly, trying to find a program she liked.

"What did you say?" Ye Tian was startled.

"What's wrong?" Xiaoqian turned her head, not understanding why Ye Tian was so surprised, "Actually, it's not accurate to say animals. It should be some kind of demon, I guess."

"Demons?" Ye Tian echoed Xiaoqian's words like a parrot.

"Yeah. You don't believe me? Even if I can't catch demons or anything, I've seen them, okay?" Xiaoqian earnestly tried to convince Ye Tian that she was not mistaken.

Ye Tian had a different point of view than Xiaoqian. Whether it was immortals or demons, he believed in them, but why were so many strange things happening now? Demons? They used to never appear. Or is someone now indulging these peculiar beings?

"Xiaoqian, would ordinary demons just show up randomly?"

"They wouldn't just come out wilfully. Demons have high standards for where they live. Look at the pollution where we are now; they hate it and prefer deep mountains and old forests. But..." Xiaoqian's eyes shifted and then stopped.

"But what?" Ye Tian pressed.

"There's always something they like in this world."

"What is it that they like?"

"What they like is us."

"Us?" Ye Tian was puzzled.

"They like to eat our flesh. Aren't humans supposed to be the wisest of all creatures? Of course, demons like to eat us, otherwise why do you think so many bones appear?"

Xiaoqian stopped talking as she found a TV show she liked, and Ye Tian started to space out.

The next day, Zhang Liang notified Ye Tian and Fatty Xu to head to Suhe City.

"Captain Ye, this time we work together," Fatty Xu said warmly, wrapping an arm around Ye Tian's shoulder.

To Ye Tian, it felt like a mass of greasy fat was coming at him—just the thought seemed slimy.

"Of course, I'm with you. You are Heavenly Master Zhang's distinguished disciple. For catching demons, naturally, you should take the lead." Ye Tian didn't hold back on the flattery.

Nonsense, what had he faced before? At least he knew something about that, but he knew absolutely nothing about demons. Is it possible that he needed a Peach Wood Sword or something similar for protection?

"Don't worry, I wouldn't let you charge into battle!" Fatty Xu said with righteousness.

"Speaking of which, Fatty Xu, shouldn't you give me a Spirit Talisman or something? Like the one you used to kill Liu Zhiming. Hook me up," Ye Tian cajoled with a flattering smile.

"You wish, you're acting all innocent. Xiaoqian by your side is stronger than any Spirit Talisman!"

"Xiaoqian?" Ye Tian murmured to himself.

Soon, Fatty Xu, Ye Tian, and Xiaoqian set off for Suhe City.

Suhe City is a typical southern city, clearly much hotter than Huaizhou City in summer, and practically everyone was living nocturnally.

During the day, the streets were deserted, with people only visible in the shade.

Although horrible murders had occurred frequently, Ye Tian thought people would be fearful to some extent, but upon actually arriving, it seemed no one cared at all.

Suhe City was a newly emerging city with its industry relatively developed, but on par with its industrial fame was its sex industry—a grey area, but the revenue it brought in was indeed substantial.

Because of this, even if a few people died, no one truly cared. The high number of transients made it impossible to find information, leaving those in charge of the law clueless about how to start their investigation.

"Should we come out at night?" Ye Tian asked Fatty Xu.

"Why do you think we should come out at night?" Fatty Xu inquired.

"Aren't demons supposed to be afraid of sunlight?"

"You've really watched too many TV shows. Why would demons fear sunlight? They're normal too. In their eyes, we might as well be demons. Ye Tian, you can't discriminate against demons!" Fatty Xu said seriously.
