"My friends got separated from me. We lost each other in the Heavenly Punishment Forest, and now I’m alone, and somehow stumbled my way over here to you. I don’t even know how to get out..."

Since this woman was kind-hearted, that made things a lot easier. Qin Tian put on a helpless look, his tone carrying a plea for help.

"I just don’t know how to leave, and then I saw that there were Demon Clan experts all around, so in order to avoid being discovered, I dove underwater, and then accidentally blundered my way over here to you."

Qin Tian continued.

When Qin Tian finished saying this, he saw the Demon Beasts at the edge of the Cold Pond gradually retreat.

Looked like this beauty already believed him and had no hostility toward him anymore...

Qin Tian looked at the white-robed beauty and couldn’t help sighing inwardly. This woman was really too kind and too easily trusting, wasn’t she?

"She probably has never left the Myriad Demon Mountain Range since she was small." Qin Tian was basically certain.

"Then you..."

Yin Susu was incomparably kind-hearted. She pondered a bit as she spoke, then said, "Then wait a moment, I’ll go back to my room and get you a Demon Energy Dispersant. If you keep the Demon Energy Dispersant on you, it can emit a faint Demon Energy. If you keep a low profile, you should be able to avoid the eyes of the vast majority of Demon Clan people."

"Thank you, thank you, miss."

Right now Qin Tian’s heart was a mixture of all kinds of feelings.

He had peeped at this beauty bathing, and yet this beauty was still thinking of helping him. That made the lying Qin Tian feel somewhat embarrassed.

Yin Susu really did go back to her room to get a Demon Energy Dispersant for Qin Tian, and said, "You’d better leave through the water. Once you’re out, hurry and leave the Myriad Demon Mountain Range. This place isn’t suitable for outsiders to come to, it’s very dangerous."

Looking at the simple and kind Yin Susu, Qin Tian smiled slightly and nodded. "Thank you for your help, miss... Forgive my rudeness, but may I know how to address you? If you ever come down from the Myriad Demon Mountain Range and need help with anything, I can help you."

"Thank you, my name is Yin Susu... Maybe, in this lifetime, I’ll never leave the Myriad Demon Mountain Range. You should go quickly, I’m going to eat."

Yin Susu nodded to Qin Tian, then walked out of the courtyard.

Qin Tian watched her back and sighed. "What a kind and pure girl... Temper this good and this gentle, it’s the first time I’ve seen one. Hope there’s a chance to meet again in the future."

Then, Qin Tian put the Demon Energy Dispersant on his body, dove into the water, and swam toward the outside of the Cold Pond.

After putting on the Demon Energy Dispersant, Qin Tian also noticed that there was now a sense of Demon Energy on his body. Not much, but enough to make others believe that he was a member of the Demon Clan.

"Huh, I changed my face—how did Yin Susu recognize me?"

After he came ashore from the river and changed his clothes, Qin Tian was puzzled.

But after thinking about it carefully, Qin Tian didn’t find it that strange.

On the one hand, his disguise hadn’t completely changed his appearance; there was still thirty percent similarity to before.

On the other hand, a person’s eyes can’t be changed by disguise. Yin Susu had just met Qin Tian not long ago, then met him again. Recognizing him by his eyes alone wasn’t that surprising.

With Demon Energy on him, Qin Tian felt a bit more secure.

The buildings in the Myriad Demon Mountain Range weren’t very densely packed; it was like a not-very-bustling small town.

However, at this moment, Qin Tian on this small town-like peak was like a lone skiff, unable to find his target.

The Yin Yue Demon Venerate was nowhere to be found, the Immortal Divine Beast’s whereabouts were unknown. Even though he’d made it up to the second mountain of the Myriad Demon Mountain Range, so what?

"Heh heh, little brother, stop right there."

Just as Qin Tian was wandering by the roadside, unable to find a breakthrough, suddenly, three people ran up from behind.

These three all released Demon Energy from their bodies, clearly members of the Demon Clan. They walked up, surrounded Qin Tian, sized him up from head to toe, each of them grinning.

Qin Tian froze for a moment, not knowing what they wanted. Afraid these three would see through his identity, he felt a bit guilty and asked, "You three, do I know you?"

Among the three Demon Clan people, the leading middle-aged fatty smiled broadly. "Doesn’t matter whether you know us or not. I see your cultivation is low and your face is unfamiliar. Where are you from?"

"Me?"

Qin Tian was stunned, his heart extremely tense. He hesitated for one or two seconds, not knowing how to answer.

Another man laughed. "Haha, I figure you committed a crime outside and ran to the Myriad Demon Mountain Range to escape the death penalty, right?"

"Uh... yeah yeah yeah, how did you know?"

This excuse was very down-to-earth, and Qin Tian hurriedly nodded.

Still, he was confused. How did they tell his cultivation was low? Damn it, in the Myriad Demon Mountain Range, Great Immortal Realm counts as low cultivation? Are you kidding me?

He carefully sized up the three. Although he couldn’t guess their exact cultivation, it definitely wouldn’t be higher than the Middle Stage of the Small Immortal Realm.

"Could it be because I have the Demon Energy Dispersant on me, and they’re judging my cultivation based on how much Demon Energy I give off?"

Qin Tian thought it over carefully. That seemed like the only explanation.

"Oh, a newcomer, huh? Newcomer is good. What, can’t find a place to go? I’ve seen you wandering around here for a long time," the middle-aged fatty said.

"Yeah, how did you know?" Qin Tian once again nodded very "seriously."

"Hehe, don’t ask how I know. I, Zhu Laosan, have been mixing around on this Second Peak for decades. I’ve still got this bit of Eye Power. How about it, want me to find you a place?"

Zhu Laosan looked at Qin Tian, smiling pleasantly.

Qin Tian currently had no place to stay anyway and no idea what to do next, so he nodded without hesitation. "Sure, thanks, Third Brother."

"Yo, you’ve got pretty good Eye Power yourself. Not bad, kid, you’ve got prospects. From now on, on the Second Peak, the three of us will look after you. Come with me."

Zhu Laosan praised Qin Tian a bit, then exchanged a glance with his two companions and led Qin Tian onto a wide avenue.

The four of them came to the back gate of a grand compound. Zhu Laosan went up to knock. A servant came out from the yard and exchanged a few words with Zhu Laosan, then the servant ran back inside and soon brought out a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper.

The middle-aged man seemed very familiar with Zhu Laosan and handed him a Storage Bag. Zhu Laosan was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

"Kid, come here, come come, pay your respects to Housekeeper Yang."

Zhu Laosan beckoned Qin Tian over.

Qin Tian was extremely well-behaved at this moment. He walked over and very properly greeted the middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties.

"Mm, looks decent enough, should be fine. What’s your name?" Housekeeper Yang asked Qin Tian.

"My name is... Lin Feng." Naturally, Qin Tian reported a fake name.

"Where are you from, and why did you come to the Myriad Demon Mountain Range?"

"I’m from Black Cloud City. I was robbed, and in a moment of desperation I killed a bandit. The bandits are now hunting me everywhere. I was scared, so I fled to the Myriad Demon Mountain Range." Qin Tian’s lie was flawless.

"Mm, your background is quite clear. Come in. From today on, you’re a house servant of my Yin Family."

Housekeeper Yang nodded at Zhu Laosan in satisfaction.

Zhu Laosan grinned slyly.

Qin Tian gave a bitter smile. He knew he’d just been sold off by this human trafficker Zhu Laosan.
