"Eh?" Zhang Xiaolong was surprised by Xie Jingxian's status, and he immediately asked Pang Liyuan. "Did you know that your wife is half demon?"
Instead, Pang Liyuan looked shocked by Zhang Xiaolong's question. "Is my wife really a half demon, master?"
"Yes." Zhang Xiaolong nodded at Pang Liyuan. "Did you guys not know about it?"
"No." Pang Liyuan responded with a shake of his head. "All these years, we only knew that our ancestors had demon bloodlines, but they were all still humans, so no one knew that Jingxian was half demon."
"That's weird." Zhang Xialong then thought for a while before asking Pang Liyuan again. "Do the people of the Xie clan have demon traits in them?"
Once again, Pang Liyuan shook his head at Zhang Xiaolong. "My grandparents-in-law or parents-in-law do have shadow abilities that they got from those demons, but they don't have demon characteristics at all, so I was shocked when you said that Jingxian was a half demon, Master."
"I see." Zhang Xiaolong nodded in understanding. "Did you know that your wife doesn't like your parents?"
Pang Liyuan nodded and immediately told Zhang Xiaolong about the reason behind Xie Jingxian's hatred towards Pang De and Mo Xuanqing, which was the result of their treatment of him, especially since they always put him aside and preferred his late brother. Even after his brother died at the hands of righteous cultivators, they still never treated him well, so his wife hated them so much.
Without any further questions, Zhang Xiaolong touched Xie Jingxian's chest, immediately implanting his demon slave mark into her soul and altering some of her memories to make her completely loyal to him, just like her husband and the others.
After he finished, Zhang Xiaolong immediately woke Xie Jingxian up, particularly since he had so many questions about her Xie clan.
Within a few minutes, Xie Jingxian had already opened her eyes, and she immediately sat in front of Zhang Xiaolong. "What can I do for you, master?"
"I want you to explain to me how you became a half-demon."
Xie Jingxian nodded before providing an explanation to Zhang Xiaolong. "Master, my ancestor was one of the demons that once invaded this realm, and he was attracted to a woman from this region named Xie Yuanxin. That's why he took her as his woman and impregnated her, so their children were born as half-human and half-demon.
However, my ancestor died when the righteous cultivators retaliated against them, but he had already hidden his wife in a very safe place, and he also passed on many things related to his shadow demon race, including his shadow demon bloodline. Since then, all the descendants of my Xie Clan are half-demons, but she told us to never tell anyone, so no one would know about our other identities."
[Alrighty.]

Like the previous three blood demon trees, Zhang Xiaolong also asked Milia to take him to the Dryad garden, and he planted it there while he absorbed the demon miasma that had filled the garden again.
After that, Zhang Xiaolong immediately disappeared from the Dryad garden, causing Milia to sigh heavily, especially since she wanted to ask him a few things. "Sigh! That human always comes and goes like a ghost, and he never stays here for long."
However, Zhang Xiaolong did not return to the Sky Jade Realm right away; he chose to go to Angela's sub-realm, especially since it was almost time for the day to change in that realm, and he had promised to meet her.
Arriving in front of the portal, Zhang Xiaolong first transformed into his demon fox form, and he immediately entered Angela's sub-realm. He was no longer surprised to see her sub-realm, which was entirely ocean, especially since she had told him about it before, and there was only one small island with a shell palace on it, which was where she lived.
"Actually, this sub-realm is more beautiful than the northern sea, but she is indeed such a kind demon, and she often visits that place just for the sake of those aquatic demon beasts."
Suddenly, a giant flying demon fish shot out from the sea towards Zhang Xiaolong, but he just shook his head and released his heavenly fox aura, which caused it to instantly cower in fear. "I came here at Angela's invitation, so you better not attack me because I don't want to hurt her subordinates."
However, Angela suddenly appeared in the middle of them and asked the giant flying demon fish to return to its place, and she then spoke to Zhang Xiaolong. "Thank you for not killing him."
"You don't need to thank me, you know?" That made Angela smile sweetly. "Anyway, I don't have anything else to do for the time being, so I decided to visit you. However, I can't stay for too long, and I have to leave again later."
"I don't think that's a problem." Angela then led Zhang Xiaolong to her clam palace. "Let's go there, so we can talk more comfortably, especially since I still have a lot of questions for you."
When they arrived there, Angela served Zhang Xiaolong a drink, but he found it strange that it was black. "It may look bad, but you can try it first. I made it from several kinds of plants in this realm, and I'm sure you'll like it, especially since it's so refreshing."
Zhang Xiaolong immediately tasted the drink, which was indeed very refreshing, so he drank it in one go without thinking twice. "You are right—this drink tastes refreshing despite its unusual color."
"Haha." Angela laughed softly upon hearing that, and she started asking Zhang Xiaolong many questions, almost all of which he answered.
Even so, there were some questions from Angela that Zhang Xiolong was reluctant to answer, making her look a little disappointed, but she did not force him to answer.

While Zhang Xiaolong was enjoying his time with Angela, time passed quite quickly in the Sky Jade Realm, and Pang De finally arrived at the fallen moon cave.
However, his expression turned panicky once he didn't see the demon miasma in that place, so he immediately rushed to the cave's inner area, and he immediately became furious after not finding the fourth blood demon tree.
*Boom*
Instantly, Pang De's aura exploded, and all the muscles on his body bulged out as his anger took over him. "Fuck! I bet it was that bastard who stole the tree from me! I must find him in the western region to take it back, or Ancestor Wachun will punish me severely!"
