Chapter 296 Half-Demon (1)

The past Ghost River and the current Ghost River are not any different.
The young Ghost Yeon Seong standing in front of the Ghost River does not have the later crazy evil spirit. At this moment, looking at the black river in front of him, Ghost Yeon Seong's tone is an undisguised exclamation.
Gu Baiying walked up to Zhan Xing and raised an eyebrow when she saw the situation: "Is this your city's moat?"
"He can't cross the river." Zhan Xing frowned.
What?
"Without black dragon fish, he can't cross the river." Zhan Xing said.
The dark river in front of the Blackstone City, where goose feathers do not float, poses a barrier for cultivators to cross. Many demon cultivators choose to ride the Black Dragon Fish to cross the river and return to the city. The Black Dragon Fish lurks at the bottom of the river and can only be fed with pills cultivated with demonic energy. However, the Ghost Yan Sheng is just a young man who has not awakened even the slightest bit of demonic power, so where can he get the pills?
Ghost-hating Life obviously knows this, Xiaochun approached cautiously, and carefully looked at the surging black river, whispered: "The monks on the road said that only demons can cross the Ghostly River. But when we were hiding in the forest just now, we saw those demons throwing something into the water, and a big fish emerged, carrying them across."
“那东西一定是能过河的东西。”小春下了结论。
“但我们没有。”鬼厌生犹豫了一下：“要不我去问他们借一点.....”
Xiaochun grabbed him and said, "Didn't you hear what they said? All the demon-like people have that fish-feeding thing. Blackstone City doesn't allow outsiders to enter. If you're discovered as an outsider..."
Exposing oneself without finding his biological father and confirming his identity beforehand is not a good plan. Besides, there is no certainty whether he is a demon or not. After all, he doesn't have any noticeable differences from ordinary people up until now. If he is not a demon and just has different eye color, the consequences of being discovered by those demons in Blackstone City can only be imagined and would be miserable.
"So what now?" Ghost Yan looked at the river in front of him, a hint of annoyance flashing between his eyebrows. Earlier, fueled by passion, he had journeyed to this place, thinking that as long as he found Blackstone City and his biological father, he could change his destiny. But now, he realized that he had been too naive."
Xiaochun thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled cunningly: "I have a solution."
He turned around and asked in confusion, "What solution?"
"Wait for me here," she pulled Gui Yansheng to sit under a tree on the side, where the grass was thick and not easy to be discovered by others. "I'll be back soon."
"What are you doing?"
Xiaochun ran forward with a smile and said, "Just wait for me!"
Her voice was light and cheerful, as if she had full confidence, but Zhanxing felt something was off. After a short while, the girl returned, her face slightly flushed, as if she had just run with all her might, her breath somewhat unstable, and she handed him a soft bag and said, "Here you go!"
What is this? - Ghost Yan Shengai was stunned.
"It's fish feed." - Xiao Chun raised her eyebrows and pushed him towards the river. "Stop dawdling and hurry up and cross the river."
"Wait, where did this come from? Aren't you coming with me?" - Ghost Yan Sheng turned around.
Xiaochun helped him open the bag and took out a few jet-black pills, throwing them into the water: "Of course I can't go. I am a mortal. If my mortal aura is discovered, wouldn't it also implicate you? Moreover, I am timid. If I were to see a terrifying demon and scream in fright, wouldn't we expose ourselves?"
In the middle of the black torrent, a huge whirlpool gradually appeared, from which a fish spine resembling a small mountain slowly emerged. Xiaochun pushed Guiyansheng forward and said, "Don't worry about so much, hurry up and find your father, don't forget our agreement," she smiled brightly, stood on the shore and waved vigorously at Guiyansheng, "When you become successful, don't forget about me, your friend who shared the difficult times with you!"
The dark big fish carried the boy away, gradually disappearing into the sea, and Zhanxing turned back and looked at the girl on the shore.
The smile on Xiaochun's lips faded away, and a trace of worry flickered in her eyes.
Guiyansheng was very nervous.
It was perhaps the first time for Xu to ride such a giant dragon fish, and all the way, he tightly grasped the sharp fish spine of the dragon fish. After an unknown period of time, a huge city appeared before his eyes.
The city is situated high up on the pitch-black stone mountain, and as the sky darkens, a faint spectrum of colors can be seen from the mountain. Gazing upon it, the city appears vibrant and bustling, with thousands of lights shining from every household.
It looks lively and prosperous.
He stepped ashore with one foot, and the black dragon fish behind him flicked its tail and disappeared into the cold waves.
Gui Yansheng entered Blackstone City.
He walked carefully, everyone here dressed strangely, so the white cloth strip tied around his eyes did not attract attention, as if it was the most natural thing. He felt more relaxed and looked around, hesitating for a while. Speaking of which, he found this place, but he didn't even know his father's name or what he looked like. And as for his identity, who should he seek to prove it.
He walked down the street, looking around, until he accidentally bumped into someone. He stood still and saw a extremely beautiful young woman standing in front of him. Among the strange and peculiar demons around her, she looked exceptionally elegant, wearing a light blue long dress, with long hair like a waterfall, crescent eyebrows and starry eyes, soft as jade and gentle as flowers. She didn't look like a demon, but more like a fairy.
The woman was also gentle, reaching out to help him and smiling, "Are you okay?" However, as soon as her fingertips touched the resentful hand of the ghost, she froze for a moment. She discreetly grasped the boy's wrist, as if confirming something, stared at the resentful ghost for a long time, and suddenly chuckled softly, "A mere mortal, dare to infiltrate the demon clan. You really have some nerve."
The ghost Yansheng's body stiffened.
"I am not a mortal," Yansheng said, trying to maintain composure. "I am from the demon race." With that, he removed the cloth binding his eyes and revealed a pair of golden eyes.
The girl seemed surprised by his actions and was momentarily taken aback. However, after a pause, her smile softened, "I have never seen a demon with golden eyes in Blackstone City before. Are you from outside? What brings you to Blackstone City?"
Perhaps it was the gentle attitude of this woman, or her appearance and dress that resembled a fairy, invisibly adding a trace of trust to her. Gui Yansheng said, "I want to find someone, my father."
"Oh? Where is your father? What is his name?"
Gui Yan Sheng shook his head, his tone becoming low: "I don't know."
The woman stood still, looking at him hesitantly for a while before finally saying, "Forget it, it's too dangerous for you to stay here. It will cause trouble if the demon clan finds out that a mere mortal has infiltrated. Come with me." She smiled and said, "I have a way to help you find your father."
The ghost looked at her disdainfully, seemingly considering whether her words were true or not.
The woman was also not in a hurry, smiling and waiting for his answer.
The lights on the mountain flickered, and each cave entrance was adorned with dazzling gemstones, casting a hazy and magnificent color over the city of black stones.
He stood in the layers of halo, nodding slowly, "Okay."
