Chapter 1 — After Being Abandoned by Demons, I Became the Treasure of the Immortal Cultivation World

1

I am a monster raised by Ma Ton. Because I lost control and hurt someone in his heart, he immediately ordered me to be thrown into the realm of the cultivators. Monsters cannot be killed by normal means. There are many methods in the world of cultivating monsters, of which the most commonly used method is using fire to refine. I like water, but I fear fire the most. I was dying and curled up in a corner, but in the end I was still discovered.

"Brothers and sisters, come here quickly! I found something very interesting!"

That call immediately attracted many white-robed monks.

“Everyone look, her chest has been punctured.”

“Injured like that but still alive, is she a monster?”

I trembled and continued to hide deeper into the corner of the wall.

“Just how much hatred do you have to have to torture a monster into this form?”

That's right. Just how much does my lord hate me, that he wants to kill me so completely? The head man squatted down in front of me. His appearance was cold, his long, narrow eyes were as black as ink. At his waist hung a thin long sword, the sword's hilt was wrapped in silver silk, and the sword tassel hung down at his side.

"What is your name? Why did you appear here?"

I opened my mouth, but could only make hoarse "ah... a..." sounds. The person in front frowned slightly. When I was first picked up by my lord, I spoke very slowly and was often laughed at by the demons. I was afraid that my lord would hate me, so every time he asked, I silently reread the answer several times in my heart. Wait until you are sure you can speak fluently before you dare open your mouth. One time, the lord was in a bad mood. He asked me a question, but I didn't immediately answer, so he ordered someone to throw me near the volcano. It wasn't until my whole body's skin was almost baked dry that he took me back. From then on, no matter who asked, I instinctively responded immediately, not daring to hesitate even for half a moment. Looks like I'm really about to die. I closed my eyes in despair. Immediately after that, it became dark before my eyes.

“Brother!”

"Master said, if you continue to bring strange things back to the mountain, he will punish all of us to go down to the mountain to practice! I just returned!"

“Senior Brother, she is clearly a monster, why do we have to save her?”

My body moves in the dark. I heard that man say:

"Monsters do not have consciousness. You can hear and understand what I say, proving that you are not a monster."

“Therefore, we must save.”

I slowly blinked. This is the first time someone said that I am not a monster. But he misunderstood. I am a genuine monster.

Before, I also doubted that I was not a monster. Real monsters are ferocious, hot-tempered, will attack anyone, and even eat people. But we are not like that. It wasn't until the person in my lord's heart was found that I completely believed that I was a monster. The story of Demon Lord falling in love with a human woman quickly spread throughout the Demon World. Everyone couldn't help but exclaim, because human life span is extremely short. But the master never seemed to worry about that. Every day, he makes love with the person in his heart in the main hall. And I can only stand outside the thin silk curtain, listening to the sounds of love echoing out. I don't understand human emotions, nor do I know what they are doing. The Lord once saved me and kept me by his side. Even though he would punish me from time to time, at other times, he would still treat me very well. He used to take me to the human world to have fun, try on clothes for me, buy snacks, and even take care of me himself... Those are all things I've never had before. But ever since the person in my lord's heart returned, he has completely ignored me. I don't understand why, my heart is constantly in pain. Do monsters also have feelings? I started to doubt again. One day, a riot broke out among the demons, and the master was forced to personally suppress it. Before leaving, he ordered me to protect the person in Phong Hoa's heart well. Phong Hoa lies on the bed, her small white face mixed with pink. Her body is full of traces of love left by her master. She smiled and looked at me:

"We've met before. You're so beautiful, being by A Uyen's side every day makes me jealous."

“But unfortunately, you are just a tool.”

I don't understand:

“What tool? I don't have the impression I've ever met you.”

“You will know soon enough.”

“If it weren't for that, perhaps A Uyen wouldn't even bother to look at you once.”

I instinctively objected:

"No. I am not a tool. Master... master sometimes treats me very well."

“A monster like you is so stupid that it's adorable.”

“A Uyen brought you to the human world not to play with you, but because he was worried that the demons would hurt you.”

“Important tools, of course must be carefully preserved.”

“The other things he used on you were just for you to test first.”

“A Uyen will offer the best things in the world to me. And you are just a tester.”

I don't believe it. My head suddenly hurt so much that I couldn't hear the footsteps approaching in the hallway. Three pairs of bright red outer gills, shaped like feathers, slowly grow out on both sides of my head. Phong Hoa took a few steps back in fear. So hot… So hot! We need water. I want... to drink water.
