The Big Shot’s Girlfriend Is a Demoness chapter 20

The body of Celestial Yin was a type of physique.

There were countless paths to enlightenment. Due to differences in people’s physical constitutions and innate talents, the results of whether or not they could achieve enlightenment and become immortal varied naturally.

Some people could comprehend the dharma just by listening to it once, while others might cultivate diligently for decades and still struggle to make progress.

Both extreme Ying and extreme Yang were excellent physiques, and practicing corresponding cultivation techniques could make progress rapid. Although rare, they were not particularly uncommon over the years. The truly rare ones were the bodies of Celestial Yang and Celestial Yin, with the latter being the most rare and difficult to come by.

To put it simply, the body of Celestial Yin was an extremely rare physique, and anyone with it would eventually ascend to immortality.

Of course, this was just a legend.

No one knew if there were any actual examples, and there were very few records of them in modern society. After all, practicing Daoism to become immortal was not popular nowadays, and people tended to rely more on science.

According to the journal, it was sealed by its owner before his death, and the conditions were very strict. Only those with the body of Celestial Yin could open it; otherwise, he would rather let the journal rot at the bottom of the sea than give it to others for free.

The Little Golden Dragon looked at the siren, “….so you possess the body of Celestial Yin.”

Luoxi held the journal and shook her head, “I’m not. Doesn’t the Celestial Yin body you researched refer to physiques that only human beings can possess?”

She was not even a human; their species were different.

The Little Golden Dragon thought it was reasonable. The seal on this book had a particularly strong aversion to demons. Not only Little Golden Dragon couldn’t touch it, even if someone else opened it, it couldn’t see what was written inside.

“But how can you open it?” The Little Golden Dragon wondered.

It was a demon, and so was Luoxi.

Compared to it being a dragon created by science, Luoxi was an authentic sea demon. Could it be that the seal on the book didn’t recognize the species of sea demons?

Too ignorant!

“It must have been soaked in the sea for too long and gone bad.”

Luoxi casually remarked and closed the journal, “Perhaps this person still has descendants. If we find his descendants someday, we’ll return the book and the skeleton to them.”

“Don’t we have to turn it in?” The Little Golden Dragon immediately became spirited.

“Even if we don’t turn it in, we still have to return it to the person’s descendants. Don’t get any funny ideas,” Luoxi gave it a warning look.

“He has been dead for dozens or hundreds of years. Who knows if there are any descendants?”

“There must be.”

Little Golden Dragon rolled its eyes, not believing her at all.

Luoxi didn’t care whether it believed her or not and placed the book back into the skeleton’s chest. This time, it didn’t fall out. She signaled for the Little Golden Dragon to collect the skeleton.

In her opinion, Mr. Skeleton probably didn’t want to hand the journal over to others at all.

The seal he imposed was strict enough. According to Huaxia records, the body of Celestial Yin was so rare that one may not come across one in thousands of years. Thus, it was conceivable why such a seal was imposed.

Moreover, the contents of the journal have been passed down from generation to generation, which meant that Mr. Skeleton either belonged to a sect where masters passed down their knowledge and skills to their disciples over generations or a family clan with descendants.

It was impossible that everyone who had owned this journal had a body of Celestial Yin. The content inside was obviously something that even ordinary people could learn.

After imposing such a harsh seal, even if the journal and skeleton were fished out, no one would be able to obtain them. On the contrary, because of the strange phenomenon caused by the seal, it can better help his descendants to discover and retrieve him.

This Mr. Skeleton had everything figured out before he died.

However, it was unclear what went wrong that after all these years, he and this book had been still lying at the bottom of the sea. It wasn’t until Little Golden Dragon was struck by Heavenly Thunder into the seabed and got stuck in the rear of the sunken ship that he caught Little Golden Dragon’s attention and was fished out.

Little Golden Dragon collected the skeleton back into its space. It didn’t know whether it was due to the fact that the journal had fallen out, but the oppressive aura on the skeleton had weakened a lot, and wouldn’t make its space collapse anymore.

It put away the bones and sighed dispiritedly, “You possess the body of Celestial Yin, don’t you want to cultivate and become an immortal?”

Even in its dreams, Little Golden Dragon wanted to evolve into a real dragon. It was a yearning engraved in its bones and blood.

“What’s good about becoming an immortal?” Luoxi yawned and laid back on the bed.

After all the commotion, she had even less time to sleep.

“You can increase your lifespan and live forever.”

Luoxi seemed disinterested, “Sirens are species with a long lifespan. I have lived for hundreds of years and am not yet an adult. Besides, can cultivating help me earn money to build a swimming pool? I used to live in the Crystal Palace.”

The Little Golden Dragon was taken aback but then realized it made sense.

As a siren, she was born with a long lifespan and didn’t need to cultivate like humans, who had to go through hard and arduous cultivation for a lifetime. Even if they were successful in their Taoist practice, their lifespan would only be extended by a few decades to a few hundred years unless they could ascend.

As for making money, according to its research, those cultivators seemed to live a relatively austere life with simple food and drinks, pursuing a lifestyle free from mental distractions.

With this mind, it seemed that cultivating to become an immortal didn’t have much appeal.

Luoxi tugged at the blanket and rolled around before suddenly saying, “I’m a little homesick.”

Despite the unattractive appearance of Asmana’s ocean, sirens were the overlords of the sea.

At the bottom of the dark blue sea, there was a beautiful Crystal Palace that belonged to the underwater kingdom ruled by the sirens. However, she was the only siren left in the Crystal Palace in the end.….

Even races with long lifespans were subject to natural laws, which included the eventual destruction of the planet that gave birth to them.

All were equal, and all shall perish together.

Luoxi suddenly started to miss her home a little. She missed her empty Crystal Palace, the dark blue sea of Asmana, and the dry, fishy, and oppressive air when she occasionally rose to the surface. She even missed the eternally dark sky with thunderstorms.

Everything on Earth was fine, far, far better than Asmana, which was on the brink of destruction. But there was only one homeland, and it was Asmana that gave birth to sirens. Even though it was falling apart, it still made her nostalgic.

Actually, it would have been fine if Little Golden Dragon hadn’t brought her to Earth. She had already been prepared to face destruction peacefully when it arrived.

She was ready to fall into a deep slumber with her Crystal Palace, her deceased tribe, everything in her memory, and the planet that gave birth to her.

She was not afraid of death. Perhaps after living alone in the sea for so many years, she has longed for this moment to come.

Little Golden Dragon also thought of this. It was a little embarrassed and a little apprehensive.

Unlike Luoxi, it didn’t want to die.

As Little Golden Dragon faced the impending destruction of the planet, it racked its brains to think of nothing but how to escape.

When it had swept Luoxi away, it didn’t feel like it had done anything wrong. Even if it had taken Luoxi as a food reserve, in essence, it had saved her life.

Therefore, Little Golden Dragon had always felt a slight sense of grievance, thinking that it had saved her life, so how could she put on air when it was in trouble?

Now, seeing the loneliness on Luoxi’s face, Little Golden Dragon suddenly recalled –

It had forgotten, was its so-called ‘favor’ something that the other party actually wanted?

Could a ‘favor’ forced upon someone be counted as a favor?

Little Golden Dragon was so tormented by these thoughts that it twisted itself into a Fried Dough Twist, “You….don’t think too much. Didn’t human beings have a saying… ’it is better to be a live coward than a dead hero’? D-don’t give up easily.”

It was a bit afraid that Luoxi might not take it well. She had gone from living in the Crystal Palace and commanding the entire sea to being homeless and picked up by a company that was about to go bankrupt, living in poverty without even a swimming pool, and having to work for humans.

The contrast was too great. If Luoxi couldn’t handle it, then it would become a lonely dragon.

Having spied on Luoxi for hundreds of years and then wandered together from Asmana to Earth, in the subconscious of Little Golden Dragon, it and Luoxi had a special kind of interdependent existence. Even if it were to meet more people in the future, no one can replace Luoxi.

Luoxi reached out to poke its dragon horn, ”What are you thinking? The Navy promised to build me a swimming pool, so I won’t die.”

Impulsively, Little Golden Dragon blurted out without thinking, “When I-I make money in the future, I’ll build you an even bigger one with gold!”

Luoxi blinked, then smiled, her eyes turning into crescents, “Okay, I’ll be waiting.”

Little Golden Dragon felt dizzy, thinking that her smile was dazzling.

Uhm, it would use the best gold. The shiny golden color was so beautiful. It would definitely be better than the one made by the Navy. It would definitely make her like it more!

Meanwhile, Boss Feng next door, who had been suffering from setbacks, didn’t know yet that his wish of having Luoxi elevate their status and flaunt around with them by building a golden swimming pool for her had been preempted by Little Golden Dragon.

After the army’s boat sent Luoxi and Boss Feng to the shore, they saw Li Mo, who was bundled up and waiting on the side.

Behind her was a manager who looked anxious and kept urging her.

Li Mo threw a box to Luoxi. Boss Feng’s face immediately changed, afraid that there might be something like blades, acid, or bombs inside.

“What is this?” Luoxi tilted her head and asked while holding the box.

“The latest Yali phone. You don’t even have a phone. Take this one. I have applied for a SIM card for you. My number has already been entered. Use this to contact me from now on.”

Perhaps because Boss Feng was around, Li Mo didn’t show her usual gentleness like when they were alone. She had become accustomed to keeping her face sullen and chin raised in front of this man to protect her pride.

Boss Feng’s face did not look good, and he wanted to return the phone, “Luoxi is our company’s artist. Her private number cannot be given out casually. I will apply for a new one for her. You can take the phone back.”

Li Mo ignored him and just stared at Luoxi.

Luo Xi nodded softly at Li Mo while holding the box, “I know how to use it.”

She didn’t say thanks. Based on their time together on the island, she felt that if she said ‘thank you’, Li Mo would turn hostile.

It was like that time, Li Mo wanted to eat fish, but she would rather exchange it with a woven hammock than eat it for free. Or like when they were caught in a tsunami, she dragged Li Mo and swam to a deserted island. Li Mo didn’t say thanks, but she remembered it in her heart and made sure to return the favor in the future. This content belongs to thehlifestyle.com, if you see this translation elsewhere, it’s been stolen!

Li Mo didn’t seem to like accepting other people’s kindness. She carefully judged the distance between people, as she wanted to maintain her pride and dignity.

Sure enough, when she heard Luoxi accept it, she finally revealed a bit of a smile.

She smiled without revealing her teeth. Her skin was fairer than snow, and she truly lived up to her nickname ‘Porcelain Doll’ in the sunlight.

“Okay, I’ll go first. Thanks for this time. I’ll contact you later.”

If she doesn’t leave now, her manager will jump into the sea to commit suicide.

Luoxi waved her hands to bid farewell. As soon as she turned her head, she saw her boss’s absent-minded expression. His gaze was fixed on Li Mo.

Luoxi: “???” What was going on?

The boss snapped back to reality only when Li Mo got into the car.

He wiped his face and saw Luoxi staring at him with shining eyes filled with ‘gossip’.

The boss: “…”

“Ahem, it’s still early. Do you want to go to the hospital for a comprehensive checkup?” He changed the subject, ignoring his artist’s curiosity.

Luoxi gave him a look that said ‘I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person. You know that I hate hospitals and you’re still using this as an excuse to dodge the topic.’ She refused expressionlessly, “No need.”

The boss calmly took out his sunglasses and put them on. “Okay then, let’s go back to the company.”
