Chapter 170: You Should Also Show Some Filial Respect to Your Master, Right?

Of course this isn't Yin Shenli's first time witnessing the openness of demon society; she had already, long before her mortal body arrived here, thoroughly experienced the city's beautiful scenery through Wang Wu's body.

But one has to admit, some things, even when viewed with immersive VR tools, still can't compare to coming here in person and feeling it with one's own body and eyes.

Of course, Yin Shenli has no intention of seeking pleasure with demons; she enjoys watching, but remains relatively conservative when it comes to actual practice.

Relatively conservative.

Even if she truly wanted to indulge, it would be better than looking for an unfamiliar demon to let her disciple… er, never mind.

In short, Yin Shenli increasingly feels that having her disciple come here to supervise his cultivation is a very wise choice.

Not for any other reason, but because she, as a master, is sufficiently responsible.

After all, this kid actually wastes so much time on such matters every day? How can that be acceptable?

So as a master, Yin Shenli is definitely going to strictly supervise and educate this damned lazy fool.

"Here you go, master."

Today is the disciple's filial offering segment; while strolling through this massive city with his master, he saw Yin Shenli seemed interested in the street‑side barbecue, so Wang Wu went forward, bought dozens of skewered grilled meats, and handed a portion to his master.

"I never said I wanted to eat."

Although she said that, Yin Shenli still took the skewer Wang Wu handed her, took a bite, and her eyes instantly widened.

After all, the solar system where Earth resides is a wasteland; you can't find many natural creatures.

Although some are kept by humans in their cities, the New Humans are a manufactured super‑natural race, so that world naturally has no super‑natural beings.

And after arriving in this world, Yin Shenli experienced the taste of a super‑natural creature for the first time.

I must say, it's truly far tastier than the meat back home.

The texture, the energy, and the grill master's secret sauce…

Seeing his eyes brighten, the master who devoured a skewer longer than his own arm in a couple of bites, Wang Wu smiled and handed over another skewer.

"What kind of flattery are you offering here?" Yin Shenli turned to her disciple, "What? Do you think I'm some innocent maiden? Your tricks won't work on me; they won't increase my favor for you, they'll only make me feel disgusted."

With a cold expression she took the skewer the disciple handed over, spat once, and while gnawing the large skewer, Yin Shenli said coldly to Wang Wu.

Wang Wu said nothing, merely smiling brightly as he handed over another.

He bought a total of eighty skewers; Yin Shenli ate seventy, and he himself ate only ten.

After finishing, paired with milk from the Niu Sisters, Yin Shenli let out a very satisfied sigh.

"Want some more?" Wang Wu handed over a napkin; seeing Yin Shenli not respond for a while, he proactively wiped his master's mouth.

After finishing the wipe, Yin Shenli finally said slowly:

"I'm a bit full now."

"Then let's keep strolling, master. I know a human restaurant; its dishes are quite good. Would you like to try it?" Wang Wu asked.

"Whatever."

Heavenly Python City, as a gathering place for demons, has many demons, and even more demon beasts.

In this world, the number of demons is small compared to humans, but demon beasts are extremely numerous.

After all, not all demon beasts can successfully shapeshift; it's actually a very low‑probability event, especially for ordinary, non‑innate demon beasts.

Besides demon beasts cultivated later, there exists a type born with super‑natural power yet distinct from those innate demon beasts.

Since demons themselves aren't interested in academic research, there's naturally no corresponding term.

Using human terminology, this kind of creature would be called a 'demon beast'; such demon beasts cannot shapeshift, are smarter than ordinary animals, but only to a limited extent.

Those 'innate demon beasts' that can cultivate into humanoid forms are called 'spirit beasts' in the human world.

Of course, that's the more formal terminology; in practice, people don't usually make such fine distinctions.

Anyway, humans even eat demons, so they naturally don't care whether the demon beasts they eat can shapeshift into humans.

Conversely, demon cities heavily raise this kind of creature that can never shapeshift and remains a demon beast for life.

Demons, of course, want to enlarge their own kind, so they try to avoid eating demon beasts that could become demons.

But demons need demon beasts for nutrition; therefore, those that can never shapeshift and are innately demon beasts become the best breeding choice.

Ten‑Thousand Great Mountains maintains close ties with human society; each year, besides many demons working abroad in the human world, it also exports large quantities of demon‑beast meat.

Although humans also have such demon‑beast farms, they certainly won't complain about a shortage of demon beasts.

The tavern Wang Wu often visits isn't far from their current location, but since it wasn't noon yet, after consulting his master, Wang Wu chose not to take his master there immediately.

Heavenly Python City, spanning eight hundred square kilometers, is already a huge city for Wang Wu, as all eight hundred square kilometers are urban area.

However, for Yin Shenli, who hails from Cloud Light City, this city is clearly not that big, so while on the road she occasionally makes lofty remarks about this 'tiny' city.

Although Cloud Light City isn't large either, its ground area is only thirty thousand square kilometers.

But Cloud Light City is the kind of three‑dimensional city found in sci‑fi novels; despite its modest ground footprint, its population is sizable, and the actual usable space far exceeds thirty thousand square kilometers.

Thirty thousand square kilometers of area houses five hundred million people. Though it sounds crowded, each person actually enjoys a fairly generous share of living space.

After all, it's a sci‑fi world; besides the city's verticality, with people living from sky to underground, one must not forget the famed 'hyper‑space' technology there.

Here, although such technology exists, its exorbitant cost means it's rarely used in urban development.

Moreover, spatial tech is tied to the True Dao power system, so demon cities rarely see many such products.

In Heavenly Python City, the most common spatial gear is likely the spatial rings worn by demons, as that gadget is truly ubiquitous here.

"Young master, young master! Want to buy some rouge and powder? They're all imported from the big human cities!"

While Wang Wu was wandering this bustling demon city with his master, a female demon selling cosmetics suddenly called out to him.

Wang Wu turned his head, glanced at her, his gaze sliding from head to toe.

The female demon noticed Wang Wu's stare, deliberately puffed her chest, and in a sugary tone said, "How about it? Young master, want to buy a bit? If you'd like to purchase, I can…"

Wang Wu originally intended to accept her duel challenge, but upon hearing that he must buy something to duel, he immediately prepared to shake his head.

But before his mind could even turn, his master's voice rang in his ear:

"Go ahead, go buy it."

"Huh?" Wang Wu turned his head toward his master, looking at her clear, unadorned face without any makeup.

"Alright, master." He nodded.

Yin Shenli does not have that cold‑glamorous look; instead she shares the same type of clear, heroic aura as Yao Qing, only her temperament is colder and sharper than Yao Qing's.

Speaking of it, among the women Wang Wu currently knows, the only ones with a glamorous appearance seem to be Zhu San Niang and Wu Er Niang.

Zhu San Niang is a fairly typical cold‑glamorous older‑sister type, while Wu Er Niang is less cold, more gentle, yet still belongs to the glamorous style.

As for the others, Shu Niang is lively and graceful, Yao Qing is sharp and cool, Wang Lan is sturdy and heroic, and Zhao Xingyue and Zi Yuan are exquisitely beautiful with a strong noble aura.

Of course, Zi Yuan also belongs to that cold‑type beauty, but her actual personality is quite lively and cute.

Zhao Xingyue, because of her age, is rather more mature.

Speaking of it, these few hardly ever use makeup; only Zhu San Niang received some rouge and powder from Wang Wu, which he gave her when he first returned from the human world He Dong Xian.

However, Zhu San Niang hasn't used it up yet, and it's probably close to expiring now.

Monsters don't wear makeup, because makeup holds no meaning for monsters.

Transcendents likewise don't wear makeup; the reasoning is the same as for monsters.

"After you buy it, harshly humiliate that damned creature for me; I want to see her stripped of all dignity, kneeling like a dog on the ground, begging you for mercy."

"But you must never let her go; keep humiliating her until she completely collapses, until she foams at the mouth!"

"Um, that's a bit exaggerated... master..." Wang Wu was about to say that, but when he saw his master's blood‑red eyes, he swallowed the words back down.

No choice; a master's command cannot be defied.

After receiving his master's instruction, Wang Wu walked toward the woman before him and asked:

"How much are you selling these rouge and powder for?"

"Hehe, young master, why not follow me first and let me test your quality?" When Wang Wu inquired, the female demon didn't quote a price right away, but smiled brightly at Wang Wu and said.

"Hmph, I think you're courting death?" Wang Wu snorted coldly, flicked his sleeve, "Lead the way!"

Forty minutes later.

It didn't even take much time, because with Wang Wu's current combat power, the demoness named Yang Xu had already completely collapsed just twenty minutes after the start.

As his strength grew, Wang Wu's attack power kept increasing.

After all, warriors of the Supreme Heaven Vajra Gate are multi‑facet fighters, with astonishing defense, extreme speed, great stamina, and explosive attack power.

Throughout this battle, Wang Wu acted entirely according to his master's orders.

Though the front isn't connected to the stomach, the back certainly is.

Yin Shenli wasn't actually interested in buying any rouge and powder, so after Wang Wu harshly humiliated Yang Xu, he left the collapsed Yang Xu—abdomen swollen, eyes rolled white, foaming at the mouth—dead on the spot, and walked straight out of her house.

As for the rouge and powder, Wang Wu did indeed purchase them.

Because Yang Xu, at that moment, let Wang Wu take them for free in order to be spared.

However, Wang Wu isn't the type who likes zero‑price purchases, so he left a few taels of silver on the table in the other party's bedroom.

The price was certainly high, but it didn't matter; after all, Wang Wu has money now.

The master and disciple continued on their way, and along the road Yin Shenli occasionally turned her head to glance at Wang Wu, her gaze carrying a hint of oddity.

The "exaggerated style" works she had previously watched weren't truly exaggerated; they were realistic.

Although Wang Wu had already demonstrated this situation to her before, today, having come here in person and observed it with her own eyes, she felt a deeper impression.

"How does a monster spend a day?"

While strolling through the city with Wang Wu, Yin Shenli was also writing a blog post.

Though she watches her disciple's combat training daily, Yin Shenli still knows how to protect his privacy. Every video Wang Wu sends her, she deletes it immediately after watching.

As for talking about Wang Wu to others, she only describes him in words; if the listener isn't familiar with Wang Wu, she won't disclose his personal information.

However, Yin Shenli's blog doesn't get many readers, because it's a private account that only a few of her acquaintances can view.

Qin Xiang, of course, has no right to see it, since Qin Xiang isn't actually familiar with Yin Shenli.

"Young master, young master, would you like to buy a piece of jewelry for your lady?"

The two continued walking through the city, passed another stall, and a shopkeeper called out to them, enthusiastically promoting.

"Um, she's not my lady; she's my master," Wang Wu said with a smile to the shopkeeper, "but as for jewelry..."

"Master, would you like to take a look?"

Yin Shenli said nothing, merely turning her head aside.

"Then let's take a look."

After all, having spent so much time with Yin Shenli, Wang Wu naturally knows her well. Even if she says nothing, he understands what she means.

He had a perfect grasp of it.

"How about this one?"

After browsing the stall for a while, Wang Wu picked up a necklace to show Yin Shenli.

"Boring." Yin Shenli glanced at the necklace Wang Wu handed over and said coldly.

"I think it suits you, master." Looking at the blue crystal necklace in his hand, Wang Wu continued, "It matches your aura, master—cold and sharp."

Yin Shenli still said nothing.

"I'll take this one." Wang Wu looked at the shopkeeper, "How much?"

"Two taels."

Wang Wu didn't haggle and was about to pay, but Yin Shenli stepped forward and said to the shopkeeper:

"Selling it so expensive? Do you think other people's money is blown in by a great wind!?"

As she spoke, Yin Shenli's aura instantly erupted, a towering pressure bearing down on the poor shopkeeper.

"Um, then, then, then miss, could you name a price?"

The shopkeeper was nearly scared into wetting his pants, his speech becoming a stutter.

Master.

But just then, Wang Wu lightly took Yin Shenli's hand and said, "It's nothing, Master, I think it's worth it."

"After all, Master, you're so beautiful; even if this necklace isn't worth that price, on you I'm sure it's definitely worth it."

"Idiot." Yin Shenli glared at her disciple, flicked Wang Wu's hand away, and fell silent.

"I bought it, owner." Wang Wu gave the shopkeeper an apologetic smile, took out three taels of silver and handed it to the other party, not caring whether they accepted it, placed it on the stall, and then took Yin Shenli's hand and left.

Hmph.

While on the road, Yin Shenli would from time to time let out a cold hum, then mock Wang Wu with very sharp words, calling him a gullible fool, but Wang Wu didn't mind, just listening with a beaming smile.

Yin Shenli is actually quite cute, many times.

"Master, you really are cute."

At noon, after taking his master to a hearty meal at the Meimei restaurant he often visits, and after wine and food had satisfied them, Wang Wu looked at Yin Shenli and said with a smile.

"Bored."

Yin Shenli rolled her eyes.

"I'm a bit tired, let's go back."

"Alright."

He took his master back home, and Wang Wu prepared a separate room for his master, right next to his own bedroom.

After all, she comes here every day to watch the battles, so it can't be too far away.

"Then I'll go practice, Master."

After escorting his master back to the bedroom, Wang Wu prepared to leave. But just as he turned, a voice came from behind him:

"My legs are a bit sore, give me a massage."

Wang Wu's body froze, then he slowly turned and looked at his master.

"Huh?"

"What?" Yin Shenli, whose face had been indifferent, showed a hint of displeasure, "Not willing?"

"Um, Master, you…"

"Don't overthink it, it's just a massage." Yin Shenli said coldly.

"Alright, Master." Wang Wu nodded, walked to Yin Shenli's bedside, and began to take off her shoes.

Yin Shenli, of course, didn't have the troubles of ordinary mortal women; as a powerful being whose flight speed can reach 0.7 times the speed of light, her feet could not possibly emit any odor.

"Kid, your skill isn't bad, huh?"

After enjoying it for a while, Yin Shenli opened her eyes, looked at her disciple, and a strange smile spread across her face:

"From now on, remember to be more filial to me, understand?"

"Alright, alright, Master."
