Record of a Demon's Cultivation

Chapter 302: Kind Father



Translator: Cinder Translations

Hearing that Song Wen was unwilling to go to the black market, Zhou Siyi was extremely disappointed.

"Since Junior Brother Wu can't conveniently go to the black market, I won't disturb you. I will consider your suggestions," she said.

After finishing her words, Zhou Siyi flew away on her sword.

Song Wen turned and returned to the cave, continuing his cultivation.

He didn't think much about what had just happened.

Unbeknownst to him, as Zhou Siyi flew on her sword, her expression gradually became extremely complicated.

Filled with worry, it was mixed with tension and fear.

Moments later, she arrived at a cave located at the top of Spirit Beast Peak.

She took out a token, circulated her spiritual energy to activate it, and easily passed through the cave's entrance restrictions, entering the cave.

The cave was vast, nearly ten acres in size.

Inside the cave, it was adorned luxuriously.

The ground was paved with square pieces of first-tier spiritual material, jade stone.

The four walls were decorated with dragons and phoenixes, carved with various rare and exotic beasts.

On the ceiling, eighty-one glowing pearls were embedded.

Each pearl was the size of a human head, made of second-tier spiritual material, Night Radiance Stone.

Other items in the cave, such as beds, couches, low tables, and chairs, were also made from various spiritual ores or spiritual wood.

In the center of the cave, Zhou Xuelin was sitting with closed eyes, cultivating.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

When Zhou Siyi entered the cave, Zhou Xuelin showed no reaction, not even lifting his eyelids.

As she approached her father, there was no joy on Zhou Siyi's face at seeing him; instead, the fear deepened.

"Father, I failed in my task and couldn't persuade Wu Sheng to leave the sect."

Zhou Xuelin's eyes suddenly opened wide, a cold gleam flashing in them, his voice as frigid as frost.

"Useless trash! I've raised you for over twenty years, and you can't even handle this small matter."

Zhou Siyi trembled as she spoke.

"I don't know why, but Wu Sheng adamantly refused to leave the sect. I tried everything to persuade him, but he wouldn't step out of the sect."

"Hmph!"

Zhou Xuelin snorted coldly.

"Being incompetent means you're incompetent; don't dare to make excuses."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his right hand and struck out with a palm.

A gust of energy materialized out of thin air.

"Slap!"

The energy struck Zhou Siyi's face hard.

She was sent flying.

Her left cheek immediately swelled up, a bright red palm print appearing.

Zhou Siyi fell to the ground, a trickle of blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.

Feeling the fiery pain on her face, a wave of grievance surged in her heart, and tears filled her

eyes in an instant.

Tears rolled down her cheeks and fell to the ground.

Seeing his daughter crying, Zhou Xuelin's anger grew even more.

He stood up, his face filled with fury, his eyes blazing with rage.

"A couple of days ago, didn't you say you had gained Wu Sheng's trust? You wanted him to accompany you to the ghost market, and he wouldn't even agree to that. Is this what you call

trust?"

"Crying! Besides crying, what else can you do, you useless thing?"

"Just like your bitch of a mother-good for nothing, always causing trouble. You can't even

handle a small matter."

"What use do you have?"

"After your mother betrayed me, I should have fed you to the monsters."

Zhou Xuelin roared in fury.

In a fit of rage, he raised his hand again and slapped Zhou Siyi.

This time, it landed on her right cheek.

Instantly, the formerly beautiful young girl's cheeks were swollen and her face was

disfigured.

Zhou Siyi fell to the ground, curling up, her body trembling uncontrollably.

She not only lacked the courage to resist but even the courage to cry out.

She could only silently shed tears, quietly enduring.

From childhood to now, she had suffered this kind of beating countless times.

However, Zhou Xuelin showed no signs of stopping.

His face was filled with violent rage, as if he had endless pent-up frustrations that needed to

be released.

Recently, Zhou Xuelin felt that everything was going wrong.

First, the Alchemy successfully fused the Mystic Qi, but on Spirit Beast Peak, there was no

progress at all.

Then, the once-in-a-century operation to capture the Blood Kui Beast also failed.

He had prepared everything, and after successfully capturing it, the Blood Kui Beast would

belong to him.

What he had thought was a sure thing turned out to be a wasted effort.

Zhou Xuelin walked up to Zhou Siyi, lifted his foot, and kicked towards her lying on the

ground.

Just then, a voice came from outside the door-it was Teng Jingshan, the master of Spirit

Beast Peak.

"Vice Peak Master Zhou, I have urgent matters to discuss with you."

Hearing this, Zhou Xuelin's foot, which was about to kick Zhou Siyi's chest, abruptly stopped.

He stared at Zhou Siyi, who was curled up on the ground, with an indifferent expression.

"Can't you get up? You need to heal the wounds on your face and put on a pitiful look for whom?"

After saying this, Zhou Xuelin turned and walked towards the cave entrance, his face breaking

into a warm smile.

Zhou Siyi, who had expected another beating, sat up, looked at her father walking toward the

cave door, then lowered her head, took out a pill, and swallowed it.

She circulated her spiritual energy to refine the pill.

In an instant, her swollen face returned to normal.

The sorrowful expression on her face also faded away, making it impossible to see any signs

of distress.

The entire process was seamless, as if she had done it countless times before.

"Peak Master Teng, it's rare for you to visit my cave today. Please come in."

Zhou Xuelin opened the cave's restrictions and warmly invited Teng Jingshan inside.

Teng Jingshan entered the cave as instructed.

As he saw Zhou Siyi in the cave, he exclaimed, "Oh! My niece Siyi is also here. Didn't you go to

the Alchemy peak's Serpent Cave today?"

Zhou Siyi replied, "I haven't seen my father for many days and miss him a lot, so I came to see

him."

Teng Jingshan looked at Zhou Siyi, who appeared obedient, then turned to Zhou Xuelin with

an envious expression.

"Master Zhou, you have such a well-behaved and understanding daughter; it's truly

enviable."

Zhou Xuelin waved his hand, feigning modesty. "Peak Master Teng, you flatter me. This child has been spoiled by me, lacking proper etiquette, so please don't hold it against her."

Then, he assumed the posture of a stern father and said to Zhou Siyi, "Why aren't you quickly

making tea for Peak Master Teng? It's not often that he comes to my cave; we can't neglect him."

Under Zhou Xuelin's guidance, Teng Jingshan took a seat.

As he watched Zhou Siyi busy making tea, Teng Jingshan remarked with some sentiment,

"Back then, after you and your partner separated, leaving behind such a young daughter, you raised her alone. In the blink of an eye, over twenty years have passed, and my niece has

grown into a young lady."

"Our personalities didn't match. After giving birth to her, her mother left," Zhou Xuelin said

with a sigh.

Then, he changed the subject and asked, "Peak Master Teng, what is the urgent matter that

brought you here today?"

At that moment, Zhou Siyi had just finished preparing the spiritual tea and brought it over.

She set down the tea set and retreated to the side.

Teng Jingshan picked up the tea and took a sip. "Good tea."

After setting down the cup, he continued, "I came today to discuss an important matter."

Zhou Xuelin understood and waved his hand, forming a spiritual barrier that enveloped the

two of them.

Outside the barrier, Zhou Siyi could no longer hear any of their conversation.
