Chapter 3102: It's about time

A bunch of worthless trash, you're simply betraying your teacher and destroying your ancestors.

The Tiger Ancestor, originally already disheartened and too weary to say anything more, upon hearing these damned creatures deny even their ancestors, still couldn't help but angrily shout.

As for that, the innate demon race paid it no heed, and everyone had already grown accustomed to it.

You're already captives, yet you're putting on airs, speaking as if you could get out.

Being outright ignored, he got a face full of dust, and the Tiger Ancestor felt bitter.

When it gets out, those spineless weaklings, it won't leave a single one; and that Deer Ancestor, munching away and shaking its head, is utterly unworthy to be the ancestor of the innate demon race.

Then, joining forces with the other demon ancestors, they will abolish it together.

In the Tiger Ancestor's heart, there has always been hope of rescue; it believes the other demon ancestors will not abandon it.

They will surely come to save it.

Thus the Tiger Ancestor has held onto this breath, waiting for the day it can regain freedom.

However, while the Tiger Ancestor waits for the demon race's rescue, the Human Race's Immortal City Beyond the Heavens is also waiting.

From the end of the great war until now, the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens has remained under city-wide martial law, with no slackening at all.

If not for that, the city's strong cultivators would likely have been running to the Dao One Immortal Sect every few days.

Who wouldn't want a hot meal?

But they fear retaliation from the demon race should it return, so they dare not relax in the slightest.

However, after waiting and waiting, they saw no trace of the demon race; even after sending out several clever scouting parties, they found no sign.

On the city walls, Yue Linxian, who conducts the daily routine patrol, frowned and said to Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe beside him.

"Where do you think the demon race went? Could they have just run away?"

"That shouldn't be; ordinary demon race aside, we still have two demon ancestors in our hands—would the demon ancestors not rescue them?"

"A few days ago, Zhao Tianqing still firmly believed these innate demon race could not just let it go, after all the Tiger Ancestor and Deer Ancestor were still around."

"It's impossible they'd ignore their own ancestor, right?"

"But now, so much time has passed, still no trace of the innate demon race can be found, leaving Zhao Tianqing uncertain."

"By rights, it shouldn't be; even their own ancestor could abandon them?"

"But the facts are before us, and Zhao Tianqing can't help but think more."

"If they truly intended to rescue, they should have acted long ago."

"I always feel these innate demon race are off, different from the demon race beyond the heavens."

The Immortal City Beyond the Heavens dares not be careless for now; despite doubts, it remains strictly guarded, giving the innate demon race no opening.

The strong cultivators in the whole city have these days been living on dry rations.

However, each day at mealtime they can have dry rations to eat, which for many is already quite luxurious.

After all, in normal times you'd hardly get even this bit of dry rations.

If you wanted to buy from the canteen, you wouldn't even know how long the line would be.

Thus the people haven't had too many complaints.

Every few days, disciples of the Dao One Immortal Sect transport dry rations to the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, ensuring no one runs out of food; this is already a blessing hard to come by.

As for those inside the Dao One Immortal Sect, they haven't been idle either; a few days ago they solved the food problem for those innate demon race.

After this period of observation, these innate demon race have begun eating normally, with good appetites.

It seems they completely accept the food given by the Dao One Immortal Sect; this is all thanks to Ye Zhangqing.

Since the food problem is settled, next we should get down to business.

Inside the Pill Hall, Qin Shou and Mu You, having just finished dinner, began to plot this matter.

Regarding the rearing of the innate demon race, it's mainly these two Shī xiōng/shidi responsible.

After all, one is a beast tamer, the other a pill master; they're professionally matched, letting others handle it probably wouldn't be as effective.

"Shidi, isn't it about time?"

Looking at the calm Mu You, Qin Shou spoke; upon hearing, Mu You whispered.

"What are you panicking about? Wait till I fix it."

"What are you going to fix? A new medicine?"

"No, I'm chatting with Chen Xiang; I'll wait till I coax her into cultivating."

"Who is Chen Xiang? Do you need to coax someone to cultivate?"

"She's a top-tier courtesan I just met; her figure, her looks—tsk tsk, simply superb."

"By the way, Xiang'er also has a dao friend who's quite good; I'll introduce you tomorrow."

"What the heck?"

Upon hearing, Qin Shou froze a moment, then snapped back, his eyes wide open, and he slapped the table with a 'pa' sound.

The white jade stone table before him instantly shattered into pieces, turning into a pile of powder.

At the same time, the slender one widened his eyes in anger and shouted.

"I'm trying to talk serious business with you, and you're chatting with a courtesan?"

"Shī xiōng, Xiang'er is different."

"Bullshit different; from the lower realm to now, which of the courtesans you've known are the same?"

"Shī xiōng, Xiang'er truly is different; she has a hard life—her father loves gambling, lost the family fortune; her mother fell gravely ill and died early; she still has a younger brother, whom she raised single-handedly; to support her brother, she had no choice but to enter the red dust..."

"Cut the crap, let her brother come out so I can see him."

"Her brother has been taken into my sect; that's the one you saw this morning."

Huh???

"Morning? Upon hearing that, Qin Shou slightly recalled—this morning he had indeed seen a sect disciple, seemingly from his Beast Taming Hall; what was his name again?"

Yes, Chen Yang, it seems he just joined the Sect not long ago, and he was introduced by Mu You.

Translation: "Yes, Chen Yang, it seems he just joined the Sect not long ago, and he was introduced by Mu You."

Note: "Yes," can be "Yes," or "Right,". We'll keep "Yes,". "Chen Yang," is "Chen Yang,". "It seems he just joined the Sect not long ago," means "it seems he just joined the Sect not long ago,". "And he was introduced by Mu You." means "and he was introduced by Mu You." Could also be "it was Mu You who introduced him." We'll keep as above.

Huh???

Translation: "Huh???" (or "Eh???"). We'll output "Huh???".

At this thought, Qin Shou blurted out a curse.

Translation: "Thinking of this, Qin Shou opened his mouth and cursed." Or "Upon thinking this, Qin Shou blurted out a curse." We'll keep simple: "Thinking of this, Qin Shou blurted out a curse."

"You're fucking sick. What the hell are you doing bringing the courtesan's brother to my Beast Taming Hall?"

Translation: "\"You're fucking sick, what the hell are you doing bringing the courtesan's brother to my Beast Taming Hall? \""

"You're fucking sick. What the hell are you doing bringing the courtesan's brother to my Beast Taming Hall?"

"What's wrong with the courtesan's brother? Xiang Er said, her brother has extraordinary talent, it's just a shame his background is bad. She begged me, how could I refuse?"

Translation: "\"What's wrong with the courtesan's brother? Xiang Er said, her brother has extraordinary talent, it's just a pity his background is bad; she begged me, how could I refuse? \""

"What's wrong with the courtesan's brother? Xiang Er said, her brother has extraordinary talent, it's just a shame his background is bad. She begged me, how could I refuse?"

"You damn it, is this how you use the nomination quota the Sect gives you each year?"

Translation: "\"You damn it, is this how you use the nomination quota the Sect gives you each year? \""

"You damn it, is this how you use the nomination quota the Sect gives you each year?"

"I haven't used it these past few years, I've only used this one."

Translation: "\"I haven't used it for years, I've only used this one. \""

"Just one, and you're stuffing him into my Beast Taming Hall?"

Translation: "\"You just shoved one into my Beast Taming Hall? \""

"Why are you in a hurry? I'm being serious, Xiang Er's brother really has good talent. Even though he came in through the back door, we're fellow Shī xiōng, how could I harm you?"

Translation: "\"Why are you in a hurry? I'm being serious, Xiang Er's brother really has good talent; even though he came in through the back door, we're fellow Shī xiōng, how could I harm you? \""

"Why are you in a hurry? I'm being serious, Xiang Er's brother really has good talent. Even though he came in through the back door, we're fellow Shī xiōng, how could I harm you?"

"Really?"

Translation: "\"Really? \""

"Absolutely true."

Translation: "\"Absolutely true. \""

Seeing Mu You's firm stance, and besides, I really don't know this Chen Yang at all. After all, he's just an ordinary outer disciple of the Beast Taming Hall, and I rarely even get a chance to see him, so how could Qin Shou possibly remember him?

Translation: "Seeing Mu You's firm stance, and also realizing I really don't know this Chen Yang—after all, he's just an ordinary Outer Door Disciple under the Beast Taming Hall, I rarely even get a chance to see him, so how could Qin Shou possibly remember him?"

We need to use "Outer Door Disciple" from glossary. Also "Beast Taming Hall". Also "Mu You". Also "Chen Yang". Also "Qin Shou". Let's translate: "Seeing Mu You's firm stance, and also realizing I really don't know this Chen Yang—after all, he's just an ordinary Outer Door Disciple under the Beast Taming Hall, I rarely even get a chance to see him, so how could Qin Shou possibly remember him?" Ensure we keep the meaning.

If he truly has talent, then we certainly shouldn't look down on him just because of his background.

Translation: "If he truly has talent, then indeed we shouldn't look down on him just because of his background."

As long as he stays honest and does his duty, I'll let this matter slide.

Translation: "As long as he stays honest and does his duty, I'll let this matter slide."

However, considering Mu You's previous actions, Qin Shou feels he should first proceed cautiously and find out more.

Translation: "However, considering Mu You's previous actions, Qin Shou feels he should first proceed cautiously and find out more."

Immediately, Qin Shou took out the Xiǎnyǐng zhèn pán, contacted the outer sect steward of the Beast Taming Hall, wanting to inquire about the situation of this Chen Yang, to see what exactly was going on.
