How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!

Lin Tianfeng felt like he was going crazy. How was it that every realm he visited, he always ran into Chen Yu?

He hoped he was just seeing things, but reality was so cruel.

What had he done in his past life to deserve being relentlessly hounded by this harbinger of doom, Chen Yu, no matter where he went?

Seeing the horrified expression on Lin Tianfeng's face, Chen Yu wondered if he had been too harsh on him before. Otherwise, how else could he scare him like this?

"Lin Tianfeng, we're fellow disciples. Is there really a need to be so afraid of me?"

Chen Yu greeted him with a cheerful smile.

Lin Tianfeng ignored Chen Yu, his gaze stiffly shifting away from him to fall on Lin Yuxuan, filled with intense confusion.

He wanted to ask Lin Yuxuan how she managed to find Chen Yu.

"Could it be that Lin Yuxuan and Chen Yu planned to meet in the Qianyuan Realm, so they could live together uninterrupted in this secluded world?"

Lin Tianfeng suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning, frozen in place.

He thought this possibility was too high. No wonder Lin Yuxuan had been so cold and unfriendly to him all along the way.

Lin Yuxuan didn't pay attention to Lin Tianfeng; she was equally troubled.

She had come to the Qianyuan Realm to carry out a task precisely to avoid Chen Yu.

She was also disgusted with Lin Tianfeng, who insisted on clinging to her, applying for the same task, and shamelessly tagging along to the Qianyuan Realm.

However, Lin Yuxuan still had a way to deal with Lin Tianfeng.

She just hadn't expected to encounter Chen Yu here in the end.

Looking at these two people, Lin Yuxuan felt that this task was a complete mess. Should she give up the task and return to the Great Yu Realm?

"Can we leave here now?"

Chen Yu asked.

The Dragon Clan would surely be furious and was likely mobilizing their forces to search for them, so staying here was extremely dangerous.

"Yes, we must leave as soon as possible."

Lin Yuxuan replied coldly.

"Are your injuries okay?"

Chen Yu asked instinctively. Previously, Lin Yuxuan had battled fiercely with the Emperor's projection, and her injuries were not light—she had even coughed up blood.

"Let's leave here first; if I wait until I heal, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape."

Lin Yuxuan exchanged words with a cold demeanor.

But Lin Tianfeng, who was on the side, was completely unaware of what had happened. Seeing Chen Yu and Lin Yuxuan conversing, he felt more and more like a third wheel.

The three of them left and sped away.

Upon reaching the border, they alerted the Dragon Clan. After the three of them joined forces to slay more than a dozen Dragon Clan enemies, they made a successful escape.

After a day and night of rushing, Lin Yuxuan's injuries showed no improvement, so the three temporarily halted.

"Let's rest here for a while."

Chen Yu pointed to the valley ahead.

The three of them set up a temporary small cave residence, completely dark inside, which didn't bother them as Kings.

Lin Yuxuan distanced herself from Chen Yu and Lin Tianfeng, sat cross-legged, and ingested a healing pill.

Lin Tianfeng also deliberately kept his distance. He no longer dared confront Chen Yu, whose talent was astonishing—ascended the Heavenly Martial List in just a year and had clearly grown close to Lin Yuxuan, their relationship profound.

If he caused trouble again, he'd not only offend Chen Yu but also displease Lin Yuxuan.

Chen Yu saw that both Lin Yuxuan and Lin Tianfeng had distanced themselves, so he patiently sat far away as well.

A night passed in silence.

Chen Yu felt the atmosphere was incredibly strange.

"By the way, I still haven't explained my thoughts clearly to Lin Yuxuan; she might still have misconceptions about me."

Chen Yu thought to himself and planned to use this opportunity to clarify things.

Just then, Lin Yuxuan spoke up, "Lin Tianfeng, you go out first."

After enduring a long, agonizing night, Lin Tianfeng was startled for a moment before obediently leaving.

Soon, a purple barrier appeared at the entrance of the cave, isolating everything.

"What are they doing, keeping me out? Just the two of them alone in one room..."

Lin Tianfeng's mind was in chaos, his thoughts growing wilder, driving him nearly mad.

But the actual situation differed greatly from Lin Tianfeng's assumptions.

As soon as he left the cave, the temperature dropped sharply. An invisible aura of oppression emanated from Lin Yuxuan, as if even the air froze.

"Chen Yu, I already made my words clear to you last time. Why did you follow me to the Qianyuan Realm? What are you up to?"

Lin Yuxuan's expression was cold and proud, like a goddess above.

"You didn't follow me into the Qianyuan Realm secretly?"

Chen Yu looked puzzled.

His task had been personally assigned by the Sky Martial Sect Master.

Could it be that the Sky Martial Sect Master deliberately wanted to bring him and Lin Yuxuan together?

Lin Yuxuan thought Chen Yu was teasing her, which made her even more furious.

She stood up, her figure tall and perfectly shaped, her flawless face cold as frost: "Chen Yu, don't try to sidetrack and avoid my question. There's nothing possible between us; don't waste your time."

She appeared very assertive, hoping Chen Yu would take the hint and back off.

In truth, if Chen Yu were to insist relentlessly on marrying her, Lin Yuxuan would find herself in a difficult position.

But Lin Yuxuan believed that as long as she paid the price, the matter could be settled.

The key was to see how big Chen Yu's appetite was.

"Oh? I think you misunderstood; my thoughts are pretty much the same as yours."

Chen Yu chuckled lightly.

Lin Yuxuan had expected Chen Yu to shamelessly cling on and demand marriage based on their engagement, but she hadn't expected to hear such words from him.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Lin Yuxuan looked slightly stunned, temporarily not believing him.

"Yes."

Chen Yu nodded.

It seemed Lin Yuxuan's misunderstanding ran deep.

"Then why, when rumors were flying around, didn't you come forward to explain?"

Lin Yuxuan was still skeptical and asked again.

"He's in seclusion."

...

The two exchanged words for a long while, thoroughly clarifying the misunderstanding.

Lin Yuxuan sat on the ground with a slightly dazed expression, losing her previous icy goddess look.

Suddenly, Lin Yuxuan chuckled lightly.

After understanding the cause and effect, she found it quite amusing how such a simple matter led to such a profound misunderstanding.

Her worries and entanglements were entirely unnecessary from start to finish.

"The Lin Family owes your father a favor, which will be repaid through you. If you encounter any troubles in the Heavenly Martial Sect, feel free to ask for help."

Lin Yuxuan's tone was calm, her attitude starkly different from before, which made Chen Yu feel a sense of closeness.

"Then I'll be sure to take advantage when the time comes."

Chen Yu said with a smile.

Throughout his journey, he encountered numerous troubles, and as the Lin Family was at least a demigod family, Chen Yu certainly wouldn't waste such a favor.

...

Outside the cave entrance, Lin Tianfeng felt as if each day dragged on like a year.

He desperately wanted to know what Chen Yu and Lin Yuxuan were doing inside...

Although he had completely resigned himself, no longer scheming to separate Chen Yu and Lin Yuxuan, the mere thought of them possibly getting intimate in the cave caused him immense pain.

Suddenly, the purple barrier in front of him vanished.

Oh? Done so quickly?

After all, being a Condensed Star King, and given that Chen Yu was into body cultivation, his stamina should be quite substantial.

Lin Tianfeng glanced inside the cave mansion to see Chen Yu and Lin Yuxuan both bearing relaxed and indifferent smiles, particularly Lin Yuxuan appearing much better.

This convinced him even more that the goddess had been won over by Chen Yu.

"Lin Tianfeng, I won't hold you accountable for your past actions. From now on, you must not oppose Chen Yu."

Lin Yuxuan said with a stern face.

Lin Tianfeng lamented inwardly, realizing Lin Yuxuan had completely sided with Chen Yu.

"Yes."

He responded, feeling desolate, standing idly by.

After a few days of recuperation, Lin Yuxuan was fully healed.

"Next, let's integrate with the forces of the Human Race. It'll be more beneficial for accomplishing our tasks."

Lin Yuxuan suggested.

Due to the previous hunting ground incident and subsequent assassination attempts, the Dragon Clan was thoroughly enraged, launching retaliations against the Human Race.

Collisions between both sides were incessant, and war had ignited.

"I was thinking the same."

Chen Yu agreed.

Lin Tianfeng watched Chen Yu and Lin Yuxuan in their harmonious agreement, his gaze dim with consecutive sighs.

A few days later.

The three appeared in a city of the Human Race.

In the Qianyuan Realm, the Human Race was also dominated by sects.

With the impending war, the various human forces united to resist the Dragon Clan.

Recruitment notices for strong individuals were plastered atop the city walls.

The three prepared to directly enlist in the army, participate in the war, and meet the task requirements.

Moreover, three years later, to return to the Great Yu Realm, they needed to utilize the human forces' controlled grand human formation.

However, on this day.

The Human Race Alliance issued a decree to announce to the world.

"In half a month, the Human Race Alliance will select five 'Saint Generals' from among many powerful individuals. Each Saint General can command a hundred thousand troops to campaign against the Dragon Clan..."

Chen Yu relayed the news he overheard outside to Lin Yuxuan and Lin Tianfeng.

On the Human Race battlefield, there are three Xuanming Realm commanders holding ground and won't easily join the fray.

Beneath the Emperor's command are the five Saint Generals, but the candidates are plentiful, making selection difficult for the time being.

At the same time, the Human Race forces are full of hidden talents, including some secluded cultivators or retired veteran experts.

Thus, the Human Race Alliance issued a notice allowing anyone to sign up for the selection of five Saint Generals, provided they meet the cultivation requirements.

"That sounds promising."

Lin Yuxuan's eyes flashed with purple light, showing considerable interest in the "Saint General" position.

However, she didn't hold much hope, given that the three of them were outsiders who hadn't left any mark on this world before, fearing it was difficult to earn the Human Race forces' trust.

Lin Tianfeng held no hope for this, having entirely abandoned the mission.

"Haha, though challenging, it's not entirely hopeless."

Chen Yu chuckled lightly.

"Oh?"

Lin Yuxuan wanted to know what clever plan Chen Yu had.

"I happened to hear that, recently, a genius king appeared in the Human Race, with extraordinarily gifted talents, heralded as the millennial first genius. That person is Qin Wentian."

"He and I are fellow disciples; I can leverage him to dispel the Qianyuan Realm Human Race's suspicions about us. Even if we can't become Saint Generals, we can quickly integrate with the Human Race and gain valuable positions..."

...

In a richly decorated palace, Qin Wentian lay on a chair, staring at the distant sky.

"In over a year, I fully integrated with the Human Race, became famous, and established myself as the top genius of the current era!"

"In half a month, among the five Saint Generals, there'll certainly be a place for me. This high-stakes mission for me is utterly effortless."

Reflecting on his time in the Qianyuan Realm, Qin Wentian muttered to himself, basking in self-appreciation.

"But Chen Yu, where are you?"

A faint smile appeared at Qin Wentian's lips.

Through this task, he believed their master could discern who between Chen Yu and himself was superior.

Outside, a guard appeared, dropped to one knee, and said respectfully, "My lord, someone outside claims to be an old friend and requests to see you!"
