1564 Demon Bloodline!

The interview room wasn’t large. Indeed, it was rather empty. Behind a long table sat three Demon Subduers, all of them appearing in their twenties. One of them was a woman who held a pen and had a white sheet of paper in front of her. It seemed like she was the recorder for this interview.

“You came from the White City?” a man with thick eyebrows and large eyes asked. He had a heroic air about him, and if you were to dress him in ancient clothes and give him a sword on his back, he would have looked like a wandering warrior out of a movie.

“Yes,” Xia Fan replied.

“A Scent ability? That’s rather rare. It’s difficult to evaluate non-combat abilities. How keen is your sense of smell? Is it like a dog, able to smell one’s enemies and then track them down? We have plenty of dogs. You will have to prove that you are better than a dog to be let into Subduing Demon City!” the female warrior spoke. As she looked at Xia Fan’s file, she played with her pen. Perhaps because combat types naturally looked down on non-combat types, she spoke very rudely, repeatedly comparing Xia Fan to a dog. Although Xia Fan wasn’t prejudiced against dogs, having someone talk to him like that still left him very unhappy.

His lips curving upward, Xia Fan put on his characteristic smile, closed his eyes, and took in a deep breath, letting all the scents in the room enter his lungs.

Cherries and butter indicated that they had eaten a cherry pie for lunch, fried eggs made with olive oil, and their beverages had been coffee and milkshakes. There was also the scent of roast pork belly, wrapped in the scent of pine rosin. Thus, it had been barbecued rather than roasted with coal. The female warrior had also eaten garlic, which had left a strong odor in her mouth.

The mixed odor of sweat… mm, it wasn’t from these three warriors, but from the youths who had been interviewed earlier. They had been very nervous, and there had even been someone holding his urine. His bladder was probably pretty swollen by now, no?

The moment Xia Fan activated his Scent ability, countless odors and the information they contained entered his mind. Although he had closed his eyes, Xia Fan could see what others would never be able to see. Through the smells, he could simulate what they had done while eating, and even who had spilled coffee on their sleeve.

But merely telling them what they had for lunch was too childish. That would make them think that Xia Fan’s smell ability really was no better than a dog’s.

Thinking that, Xia Fan opened his eyes, looked at the female warrior on his right, and then he looked at the male warrior on his left, who had brown curly hair. He then said, “The two of you had grape wine last night. It was aged for three years, the cultivator was Scarlet Sunset. The main course was pickled olives and roast fish.

“After dinner, you two went into the lady’s room. To welcome you, she sprayed lilac extract in her room, commonly used as a perfume. The bedding had also just been washed using natural cleansers, honey locust with a quarter spoon of baking soda.

“The two of you had sex in the room. The process was rather intense, and it was rather enjoyable, both of you releasing your emotions and secreting many hormones. You also took a break in the middle, drinking some light sparkling wine and eating strawberries, cantaloupes, butter candies, and dried pork to recover your energy…”

Xia Fan casually narrated the information he had gathered through his nose, as calm as if he was talking about something completely irrelevant.

But the male warrior with brown curly hair and the female warrior who had compared him to a dog were both flabbergasted. Their faces started to burn up, as if Xia Fan had stripped them of their clothes and exposed them under the sunlight, revealing every hair on their body.

“Enough!” The curly-haired warrior slammed the table and stood up, his temples throbbing as he called out for Xia Fan to stop. As for the female warrior, she was trembling in anger.

Xia Fan didn’t plan to fight with them, so he chose to shut his mouth. But he had now proved his power, as could be seen from the stunned looks on the trio’s face.

Scent wasn’t an ability that could be used in combat, but it was extremely terrifying nonetheless. It left a person with nowhere to hide, peeling away their disguises and pointing straight at the truth. Not even the brand of shaving cream used that morning could escape his nose. Discovering an affair was nothing but child’s play for Xia Fan!

Of course, Xia Fan had discovered the affair not merely because of the smells, but also because she had a wedding ring on her hand. The ring had another man’s name carved into it, and carried another man’s scent!

The straight-browed man sitting in the center sighed deeply. “I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that. Xia Fan, you’re also not allowed to go around spreading rumors.”

Xia Fan nodded and expressed his agreement. Catching people having affairs wasn’t his hobby, and he couldn’t bring himself to care about such things.

The straight-browed man said sternly, “Very good. You two agree that there are no problems with Xia Fan’s Scent ability?”

The curly-haired man and female warrior scowled and nodded reluctantly.

The straight-browed man said, “Then let’s continue the interview. Xia Fan, do you believe that gods exist in this world?”

Xia Fan was confused, not expecting for there to be this sort of question.

“I don’t.”

“Why not?”

“If there were gods, why don’t they answer when I call them? If you can call them over, then I’ll believe in them.”

“In other words, you also don’t think such things as demons exist?”

“I don’t.”

“Understood. The third question: if there were gods and demons in this world, how would you kill them?”

“With weapons, of course.”

The straight-browed man couldn’t help but smile bitterly, and the two others also had looks of contempt. With such nonsense answers, there was no way Xia Fan would be able to get into Subduing Demon City!

…

Xia Fan was the last to leave the interview room. What came next was waiting. After the review, those who were allowed to enter Subduing Demon City would remain, while the rest would be eliminated and told to leave.

“What do you think?” Armstrong asked him nervously.

Xia Fan shrugged. “Based on the expressions on the faces of the interviewers, it doesn’t look good.”

“Haaa…” Armstrong sighed softly. Having Xia Fan infiltrate Subduing Demon City was Plan A for the Skywings. If Plan A didn’t work, the Skywings would move on to Plan B, which was using their speed to charge inside!

But that would drag in the White City. If the Demon Subduers found that the White City was connected to the Skywings, the city and country would be doomed. Xia Geng didn’t want to hurt Mei Mei, which was why he decided to let Xia Fan try and sneak in first.

“Heavens, bless us and let Xia Fan pass,” Armstrong silently prayed.

…

After sending off the last interviewee, the three young warriors began to organize the files. At this time, a small door was pushed open, and an old man walked in. He was on the chubby side, had sparse silver hair, and wore gold-rimmed eyeglasses. He seemed more like a scholar than a warrior.

“Teacher Turan!” the three called out respectfully.

Turan nodded and glanced at the files in their heads. “How were today’s interviews?”

The straight-browed man said, “Based on our assessment, there are three people who can enter Subduing Demon City for the final test.”

“Is Xia Fan of the White City among them?” Turan asked.

The three were stunned. Teacher Turan had mentioned Xia Fan by name? This left them baffled. What did he mean by that? Did he already know Xia Fan?

The straight-browed man bluntly said, “There is no problem with Xia Fan’s ability, but his comprehension abilities are barely passable, so he doesn’t meet the standard.”

Turan pulled over a chair and sat down. “Oh? How is he barely passable?”

The straight-browed man opened the record and said, “On the first question, Xia Fan replied that he didn’t believe in gods, and the reason he doesn’t believe in gods or demons is because you can call them by their names, but they won’t respond.”

“Exquisite! Truly exquisite!” Turan nodded in satisfaction. “Xia Fan is a genius! He calls gods by their names, but the gods don’t answer, so gods don’t exist. That is a perfect answer!

“Gods exist not only because they are omnipotent, but also omniscient and omnipresent. If Xia Fan calls a god’s name but a god doesn’t answer, it means that they don’t meet the two conditions of omniscience and omnipresence. Thus, you can conclude that gods don’t exist!”

Turan raised his head and found that his three students were dumbfounded, their mouths open so wide that you could stuff a watermelon in them.

“Teacher, are you serious?”

“Of course I am. Hurry, tell me his answer to the next question. I can’t wait to hear what sort of shocking answer Xia Fan gave.” 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨ｍ

The straight-browed man swallowed, his mind starting to grow hazy. “The second question, if gods and demons existed, how would you kill them?

“Xia Fan replied, with weapons!”

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! Turan was so excited that he had started clapping.

“A genius! The most genius answer I’ve ever seen!” Turan said energetically. “Of course you have to use weapons to kill gods! Faith and belief might not be physical, but they are formless weapons with incredible lethality!

“Wonderful! Stupendous! Xia Fan’s answer gets right at the heart of things. I really have to wonder how he thought of such a brilliant answer!

“Hurry and put Xia Fan’s name on the list! My Subduing Demon City needs a man of talent, no, a genius like this!”

Plush!

Turan’s three students were almost throwing up blood. What was going on here? Using weapons to kill a god was a genius answer?

The interview room fell silent, the air freezing up awkwardly.

After a while, Turan laughed and scratched his head. “Haha, it seems like I went a bit overboard with my acting and scared all of you.”

The straight-browed man earnestly said, “Teacher, can you not play jokes like this? You almost scared us to death.”

Turan casually shook his head. “I really wasn’t joking. No matter how Xia Fan answered, even if he said to throw gods in the water to drown them or choke them out with a rope, we would determine that his answer was completely correct.

“The Ice Crystal has found that Xia Fan tested true for a powerful demon bloodline. The city has already ordered that he needs to be brought into the city, even if he has to be kidnapped!”
