Chapter 488 - Chapter 488: Chapter 480: Is It a Demon or an Immortal?_1 (2/2)

This was a shortcut that led directly to the backyard of Qin Niu’s house.
Buying this mountain ridge from the Yan Family had brought enormous convenience for Qin Niu’s comings and goings.
As they passed through a dense forest area, a sinister and piercing cold wind blew over, making Qin Niu very uncomfortable.
This evil wind was indeed strange.
Qin Niu immediately became alert.
“You three go back home first, I’m going to catch a few more bugs to bring back!”
Qin Niu himself wasn’t very afraid, but he was worried about his two spouses getting involved, so he hurriedly asked them to leave.
Tang Caixian was pregnant, and an injury could easily lead to a miscarriage.
“It’s getting late, my husband, please come back home early. The mountains are not safe.”
Wang Wanyan was a virtuous wife.
Whatever Qin Niu wanted to do, she always silently supported him from behind.
“It’s fine, I know this mountain area like the back of my hand even with my eyes closed. After you go home, don’t come out again, that’s the real concern.”
After watching them leave, Qin Niu’s face slowly turned icy, with a hint of solemnity.
“Come out! There’s no need for these ghostly pretenses!”
What was destined to come, would always come.
Qin Niu had originally planned to secretly figure out the details of Madame Zhao before making his next move.
Unexpectedly, after Xu Zhenchang was bewitched by evil arts, he directly exposed Qin Niu.
That cold wind just now was certainly not a natural breeze.
Qin Niu traveled this path daily and knew it exceedingly well. Aside from a few venomous snakes and spiders, there were no other formidable demon beasts in this dense forest.
Although many people think that there are many demonic beasts in deep mountains, in reality, demons are far fewer than imagined.
A wild beast or bird seeking to transform into a demon must undergo many hardships and needs at least two major opportunities. For example, the Pig King that Qin Niu had slaughtered, although it was already half-demon, still had a long way to go before becoming a true demon.
Humans are naturally highly intelligent, belonging to the order of primates.
However, the majority of wild beasts have low intelligence; they do not understand cultivation techniques and do not cultivate themselves. They can only fumble for the way to cultivate.
Whoosh!
Another cold wind rushed by, chilling Qin Niu to the bone as if to drill into his marrow, making his blood feel as though it were about to freeze.
“Madame Zhao, come out!”
Qin Niu called out directly.
He wasn’t actually certain it was Madame Zhao. One could never be too cautious with deception, he was merely testing.
“Giggle giggle giggle… Master Qin is even more formidable than I imagined! Could it be that you’ve smelled my scent?”
Madame Zhao’s laughter came from all directions, and then her reasonably pleasing figure appeared out of thin air.
She wore a never-before-seen green dress, with runes flowing endlessly upon it.
This dress was very likely a magical garment.
Her wisdom, after all, was still lacking a bit, deceived by Qin Niu’s feint, she directly revealed her form.
Madame Zhao at this moment was very different from the usual Madame Zhao.
She was still the same person, but the temperament, the look in her eyes, and the aura were completely different.
Like two entirely different twin sisters.
“Is Madame Zhao human or a demon?”
Qin Niu silently sensed Madame Zhao’s cultivation level, and his heart turned half cold.
The Madame Zhao before his eyes was like an ordinary person.
This peculiar situation had also occurred with Tang Caixian’s master before.
Madame Zhao’s feet were not touching the ground but were suspended half a foot above it, just floating there.
This kind of ability was not something an Innate Realm expert could manage.
Nor had he ever seen a Spirit Qi Realm expert accomplish such a feat.
