After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

“Eat…eat it?!!”

Gu Qingze's eyes were full of disbelief, and he almost doubted whether there was something wrong with his hearing.

"You...your father actually ate...ate your mother?!!" His voice trembled, and every word seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.

Murong Jin was already used to his shock. He let out a breath, as if paving the way for his next words:

"In our demon world, especially among our demon clan, loving someone means wanting to integrate that person into your life. It's an impulse to want to eat the other person."

"If someone can arouse the appetite of the demons, making them feel that the other person is delicious and irresistible, and want to devour them, then it is proof of love."

His tone was calm, yet revealed a strange kind of affection, "This is just our unique way of expressing love."

Murong Jin's eyes gently swept across Gu Qingze: "My father's love for my mother is deep and passionate."

"He was also a leader among the demons. He held on to his mother's love until the last moment of her life, when he finally released his long-suppressed appetite and lust, and integrated his mother's remains into his own life."

"All of this was allowed by my mother. It was the last gift she gave to my father." There was an imperceptible yearning in Murong Jin's words.

Murong Jin noticed that Gu Qingze was still confused, so he tried to explain it in a more understandable way:

“Think about it, when two hearts are closely connected by love, an understanding and desire that transcends the mundane world quietly grows between them. This is not only a feast for the taste buds, but also a fusion and destination of the soul.”

"'Eat' is given the most romantic and sacred meaning in the demon world. It is no longer a simple swallowing and annihilation, but the eternal union sought by two hearts under the extreme emotional impact."

"Imagine, when the night falls and the stars twinkle, a pair of demon lovers stand in the boundless wilderness, their eyes filled with longing and affection for each other."

"At that moment, time seemed to stand still, everything around them became blurry, and only their heartbeats and breathing echoed in the night sky."

"They slowly approached each other, as if two planets met at the end of the universe. Their lips touched gently, and at that moment, it seemed as if countless sparks bloomed in the night sky, illuminating the entire demon world."

"Then he "eats" his beloved in a gentle fusion. Their bodies gradually become transparent in contact, as if two forces are penetrating and merging with each other. Their heartbeats begin to synchronize, their breathing becomes consistent, and their souls reach a perfect unity at that moment."

“This was a ‘eating’ without pain, but with joy. They shared the power of life and each other’s souls. In this wonderful fusion, they found the true meaning of life and each other’s eternal destination.”

"When everything is over, the perfect fusion of their souls and bodies transcends life and death and becomes an eternal love. Isn't this a very romantic thing?"

Gu Qingze muttered to himself: I don't understand it at all! How can this be romantic? This is even more hellish than hell!

But he pretended to be calm on the surface, and an inexplicable doubt surged in his heart: "Then Senior Murong, what if two demons love each other?"

"It all depends on who turns this love into action first." Murong Jin's eyes flickered with a complex expression, "Whoever takes that step first will have a deeper love. And the demon that is eaten will feel incomparable happiness and satisfaction."

Gu Qingze muttered to himself: This logic is really hard to understand... However, if falling in love at first sight means being eaten, then wouldn't the number of demons decrease drastically?

Countless strange questions popped up in his mind, but he just nodded slightly, pretending to be suddenly enlightened.

Seeing that he was silent, Murong Jin continued, "I am lucky because I am a half-human, half-demon hybrid. Although I will have an appetite for someone I like, I can still control it and will not lose control like a pure-blooded demon."

Gu Qingze forced a smile and said, "Then Senior Murong really combines the best of both worlds."

However, these words did not seem to make Murong Jin happy.

He sighed: "Actually, I would rather be a pure-blooded demon. That way, my innate abilities would be stronger, and in the demon world, pure-blooded demons are always at the top of the discrimination chain."

Innate ability...Gu Qingze's heart moved, and he couldn't help but think of Ling Xiao. Could it be that after Ling Xiao awakened his bloodline, he had a pair of mysterious eyes that could see through the emotions of all things in the world and obtain information?

He nodded thoughtfully, pretending to be puzzled on the surface: "Discrimination chain?"

"That's right." Murong Jin explained, "The pure-blooded demons are at the top of the discrimination chain. Their abilities and talents are unparalleled. The mixed-blooded demons are in the middle, and at the bottom are those cultivators who have become demons for various reasons."

"Those cultivators who have been possessed by demons are not considered true demons in the eyes of the demons. They do not have demon blood, so naturally they cannot possess the innate abilities of the demons."

Murong Jin's tone revealed a hint of disdain, "Moreover, most of them fell into the devil's way because they had devilish thoughts in their minds during cultivation and could not extricate themselves. Their minds are even more brutal than the demons, cruel and bloodthirsty, and their mental states are extremely unstable."

"There are a large number of cultivators who have become possessed by demons. They commit crimes everywhere and ruin the reputation of the demon race. Although the demon race does not care about these, they are unwilling to take the blame for something they did not do."

“Therefore, they also hate those cultivators who have been possessed by demons.”

Murong Jin continued, "What's even more terrifying is that those cultivators who have been possessed by demons often indulge in excessive sexual desire and forcibly seize women. The real pure-blooded demons only have appetites, not sexual desires."

He shook his head helplessly: "So, I, a half-blood demon, am in the middle of the discrimination chain in the demon world. Because I have human blood, my innate abilities are not as strong as those of pure-blooded demons. Moreover, due to the influence of human blood, I have both appetite and sexual desire."

Gu Qingze nodded: "I see."

"Then the pure-blooded demons have no sexual desire, only appetite. How do they reproduce?" he asked curiously.

"The lack of sexual desire does not mean that they cannot reproduce." Murong Jin explained, "They usually reproduce in a special way."

“No matter how much you love someone, you will hold back your appetite until you have offspring, then you will release your appetite and integrate the other person into your life.”

Gu Qingze was stunned. He remained serious throughout the whole process and nodded in agreement from time to time.

"So Senior Murong...if you love someone, you want to eat him. Does this 'love' refer only to love, or does it include other emotions?"

"For example, have you and your father ever had the idea of ​​eating each other?" Gu Qingze finally asked the question in his mind.

Murong Jin smiled slightly: "This 'love' naturally refers specifically to love. Moreover, the demons usually don't have too deep feelings for their offspring. I have never had an appetite for my father."

Gu Qingze nodded: "Thank you, Senior Murong, for giving me a preliminary understanding of the demon world."

"There are indeed too few records about the demon world in the Qingyun Sect's Sutra Library, and most of them are only one-sided. I feel very honored to be able to communicate with you in such detail today."

Murong Jin smiled slightly, seeming to be satisfied with Gu Qingze's attitude: "You're welcome, just consider it as me chatting with you to relieve your boredom, and... let you know more, so that you won't be completely in the dark and know nothing after arriving in the demon world."

"Then Senior Murong, in that case, I would like to know more about the demon world, such as the demon hierarchy and cultural customs..." Gu Qingze's words revealed a strong interest.

"No hurry, we have plenty of time." Murong Jin interrupted him, "Take your time, I will slowly tell you everything about the demon world."
