Chapter 2, the Demon Lord enters.
Sister Long was busy in the kitchen. Soon, she came out with a lunchbox and walked into her son's room, saying to Chiming: "If you get hungry, there is food in the kitchen. You don't have to wait for us to come back. You can eat first at noon, and I will go deliver food to Xiaotian"
Chi Ming stood not far away, tilting his head as he observed for a while, slightly channeling his spiritual energy to examine Qin Xiaotian's physique
Hearing a noise, she lifted her head and said with difficulty: "You... you haven't eaten yet, right? I'll go heat it up for you." Her eyes were severely swollen, and her expression was dark and haggard
Chi Ming, with a face full of sympathy, said: "Oh, did Old Qin go to take revenge on them, and by the way, break a few of their legs?"
Chi Ming could not help but think of Li Qiang. He had a vague understanding of emotions long ago, but it was not as clear as it is now. He said, "Oh, I see. Sister Long, don't worry, Xiao Tian will be fine. I guarantee it."
Indeed, another officer stepped forward and firmly grasped his arm, which was immobilized by a cast. At the wrist, there was no cast, and cold handcuffs forcibly bound the two hands together
Old Ma seemed to be enraged, his face flushed red as he said fiercely: "Damn it, if I can't make this kid cry out for his father and mother... then I, damn it, won't bear the surname Ma... I..."
Sister Long was truly exhausted and casually said, "Thank you, young man, I will go take a rest for a while"
Qin Xiaotian was placed in a temporary detention room
Chi Ming returned to the Qin Ming family, quietly merging with his doppelgänger. Upon exiting the room, he saw Sister Long curled up on the worn-out sofa in the living room, her shoulders trembling incessantly.
The boy in the photo appears very happy, with an ordinary appearance; the only thing that sets him apart is the stubborn light shining in his eyes
Qin Xiaotian is in a dire situation; the divine power of Shenyili is countless times more formidable than true essence power. Even if true essence power were to sweep through his body, he would not be able to withstand it, let alone the divine power unleashed by a godly expert like Chiming.
However, little did Chiming know that the secular world is like a vast dye vat; once immersed in it, a person's joys, anger, sorrow, and happiness will erode his soul like a tide
Regarding the trivial matters of the world, he increasingly felt curious. In just one day of interacting with the Qin family, he experienced many things he had never encountered before.
Such a foolish question could only be asked by Chi Ming
Qin Ming walked out of the room with a gloomy expression, the wrinkles on his face appearing even deeper. He hurriedly finished his breakfast, had no time to rest, and gave a few instructions to his elderly partner. He then said to Chi Ming: "You can rest here; that bedroom used to belong to my son, but he has moved out to live elsewhere. You can stay there for now, and if you need anything, just give me a call"
Finally, all the bones have been replaced. Chiming chuckled and said, "I didn't expect this little fellow to be quite resilient... Not bad, not bad."
Qin Xiaotian's stubborn expression immediately vanished, and he shook his head, softly saying: "Mom, I'm sorry"
The officer who placed handcuffs on Qin Xiaotian had a square face, and a hint of a cold smile appeared on his face as he said: "Zhang Kuo, is it you who will come... or shall I?" He cracked his knuckles, producing a crisp sound of "pop pop" from his joints.
Qin Ming said angrily, "How many times have I told you not to fight? You can endure... just endure a little, Xiao Tian, you are an adult now, don't act like a child anymore... sigh, do you want to drive your parents to their graves?"
Chi Ming walked into Qin Xiaotian's room, which was kept impeccably clean and spotless, indicating that someone often tidied it up. The walls were adorned with several celebrity posters that had become old and yellowed. In the corner, there were dumbbells and a resistance band, along with a pair of boxing gloves hanging on a coat rack. The bookshelf was neatly arranged with a collection of old books, and there was a single desk with peeling paint, revealing the mottled wood grain underneath.

In the corner, there were dumbbells and a resistance band, along with a pair of boxing gloves hanging on a coat rack. The bookshelf was neatly arranged with a collection of old books, and there was a single desk with peeling paint, revealing the mottled wood grain underneath.
Chi Ming touched his nose and couldn't help but take an interest in this Qin Xiaotian. If Qin Xiaotian were a well-behaved child, he might not have piqued his interest, but having heard that he enjoys fighting, this aspect greatly appeals to Chi Ming.
Zhang Kuo said in a sarcastic tone: "Old Ma, I've long heard that this kid is a strong-willed donkey, particularly stubborn. Hehe, how about it? Do you need any help?"
He unconsciously tapped the ground with one hand, feeling utterly weak, his mind in a chaotic state, unsure of what he was thinking about
Chi Ming circled around Qin Xiaotian with a sinister smile, forcefully channeling the divine power into Qin Xiaotian's body. As for whether Qin Xiaotian could withstand the divine power, he paid no attention whatsoever.
Chi Ming had never felt the sensation of home, nor had he ever lived with ordinary people. Everything felt incredibly novel to him. He nodded and said, "Ah, Sister Long, you go ahead, um, I will wait at home." After saying this, he smiled mischievously.
Chi Ming clapped his hands, tilted his head to look at Qin Xiaotian, and muttered to himself: "This is more like it, hmm, kid, since you can endure, let's continue playing."
Sister Long still does not understand that with Chiming's guarantee, even if Qin Xiaotian were to kill the president, nothing would happen.
Since his ascension to immortality, Chi Ming has hardly interacted with mortals; the people he knows are at least cultivators, and he is acquainted with even more immortals and ancient immortals. Therefore, he finds it difficult to understand why Sister Long is crying
Captain Lu said: "This is an arrest warrant, Captain Qin, I apologize, I am performing my official duties"
Chi Ming secretly found it amusing; with his current abilities, not to mention Sister Long being merely lame in one leg, he could even bring her back to life if she had just died.
Chi Ming said dismissively, "There is nothing wrong with a child being a little stubborn. What is your child's name?"
Captain Lu said, "Captain Qin, I apologize." He and the officer beside him then exited.
Qin Xiaotian suddenly realized that the pain in his fractured arm had disappeared. He tried to clench his fist, and it felt as if his arm contained boundless strength
Sister Long was taken aback upon hearing this, wondering what kind of talk it was, as how many legs could a person possibly have to break? She shook her head and said, "In the end, it was never found out who did it. Old Qin later said to let it go, because they threatened Xiao Tian's life. Those people have significant power, and we cannot fight against them... Sigh, let's not talk about this anymore"
Sister Long quickly realized that this young man was indeed a bit foolish, and she did not mind his naive questions.
Although Chi Ming has achieved success in his cultivation, he is indeed of a true great demon lord lineage. It is said that while one can change their circumstances, it is difficult to alter one's inherent nature. Such a stark contrast would astonish not only Li Qiang, but even the celestial beings like Gu Xing and Xuan Long.
Ah... then let's wait until we have time in the future. By the way... Long Sister, do you only have one child
Chi Ming sat in the living room, propping his chin up with one finger, lost in thought. Suddenly, he let out a strange laugh. Fortunately, Sister Long could not hear it; otherwise, she might have thought an owl had entered the house
Chi Ming obstructed the way: "Sister Long, no need to hurry, I am not hungry... that Captain Qin... uh, is Old Qin not here?"
Sister Long is not yet fifty years old, but she looks over sixty. The hardships of life have caused her to lose the luster of youth too early. She sighed and said, "Yes, my little Tian... sigh... the child is so thoughtless, with a temper that's unbearable..." As she thought of her precious son still lying in the hospital, she couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.
Qin Xiaotian seemed to be suspended in mid-air by an invisible hand. The power of Chiming is such that even a cultivator cannot resist it, let alone a mere mortal.
After bending his arm a few times, Qin Xiaotian quickly realized one thing: his arm had inexplicably healed and was now stronger and more powerful than before
Chi Ming came to Earth merely for amusement, without any intention of deliberately seeking out exceptionally qualified individuals to take as disciples. As long as someone suits his taste, with his abilities, even a fool or an idiot would be acceptable
However, he was not in a hurry to treat Sister Long; he had not chatted with anyone for a long time, and now he wanted to enjoy the pleasure of conversation. If it were not for his frequent soliloquies, he would even doubt whether he might become mute.
Captain Lü shook his head and said, "No need to handcuff him, he won't escape."
Chi Ming followed the police car to the detention center
He is the Great Demon Lord, and has never shown any sympathy for the weak. He muttered, "Damn it, I don't believe this little problem can stump me, Chiming? Hmph, kid, if you can hold on, it will just be good luck; if you can't hold on... then you might as well die!"
Sister Long walked down the road with a limp, holding a plastic bag in her hand, occasionally wiping her eyes with one hand. Chiming appeared silently behind her, curiously following her as she moved forward
Long Sao's thoughts were entirely focused on her son. She found Chi Ming's smile somewhat strange, but did not dwell on it and turned to leave.
After moving my body a little, I feel as though I have lost control over it; an inexplicable, boundless energy flows within me.
For him, such a coma was truly necessary; under the nourishment of divine energy, his body began to gradually strengthen.
He has already realized that he is not afraid of fighting, and his courage has suddenly increased, leading him to speak even more audaciously
Chi Ming tilted his head, and the golden glimmer in his eyes flickered slightly, allowing him to see the deformed calf bone of Sister Long. He said nonchalantly: "Sister Long, this minor issue is something I can treat; it's quite simple, all it takes is to straighten the bone"
Old Ma suddenly struck Qin Xiaotian on the back with a punch, scolding, "You actually dare to assault a police officer!" He reached out a hand to grab the handcuffs and twisted them forcefully.
Fortunately, due to this procedure added by Chi Ming, Qin Xiaotian was very likely to have died from this surge of divine power.
Qin Xiaotian's father is a veteran police officer, and Captain Lü is reluctant to come, but he cannot disobey the director's orders
The iron door of the detention room made a sound as two officers walked in. Qin Xiaotian looked up and glanced at the two; they were unfamiliar officers. He knew most of the people in the police station, but these two burly individuals were meeting him for the first time
Qin Ming took off his hat and sighed deeply: "Alas..."
Old Ma pulled out the rubber baton clipped to his belt and struck fiercely, cursing: "Good! I will make you swallow your words! I will make you regret coming into this world!"
Qin Xiaotian let out a disdainful cold laugh, extending his arm, which was immobilized by plaster, and silently gazed at the officer.
Chi Ming felt that this little fellow was worth his effort. The internal organs and muscles could not be reshaped; they could only be gradually altered by the newly formed bones
On the desk, there was only a photo album, which Akira casually picked up to look at. It was a group photo of three people; Qin Ming appeared quite spirited, unlike his current haggard state. Sister Long still exuded charm, her face radiating happiness as she supported the young man in front of her
Fortunately, Qin Xiaotian could not hear; otherwise, he would surely be scared to death by Chiming. He was bravely enduring excruciating pain, a sensation that felt worse than death. His only thought was that he must survive, no matter what, he had to live on. At this moment, he would never be willing to give up.
Sister Long held the lunchbox and cried out: "Xiao Tian, take the lunchbox with you"
For him, if Qin Xiaotian cannot withstand even this little test, it would be better for him to die early and ascend to heaven; he is simply not worth the effort to cultivate.
Chi Ming had a simple homemade breakfast, which he found quite pleasant. He saw Sister Long limping as she cleared the dishes from the table, her eyes slightly red and swollen, as if she had been crying. He cheerfully asked, "Sister Long, what happened to your leg?"
Qin Xiaotian's hatred grew stronger with each passing moment, as he fixed his piercing gaze on Old Ma, his face filled with defiance and anger
Qin Xiaotian's physical condition is truly poor, so weak that it is almost unimaginable. His attributes are similar to those of his elder brother Li Qiang, being of the fire element.
Chi Ming purely used Qin Xiaotian as an experiment. He first crushed Qin Xiaotian's bones one by one using divine power, and then reshaped them back to their original form with divine power. Each bone was crushed and reshaped in less than one second.
Qin Ming once served as the captain of the criminal investigation team, but he offended too many people. Not only did he fail to receive a promotion, but he was also continuously framed by others. Now, he is merely a patrol officer, specifically responsible for night patrols. Although he holds the title of captain, he has almost no standing within the police department
After a moment of contemplation, Chiming pointed with his finger, and in an instant, everything around was confined.
If it were not for the bones reshaped by Chi Ming, this would have caused Qin Xiaotian unbearable pain
As the subtle stirrings of his heart emerged, the person had already returned to Qin Ming's home. After contemplating for a moment, he left a clone at home and followed Qin Xiaotian.
She did not take Chiming's words seriously at all and turned to lie down in her room
Sister Long secretly wiped away her tears and said, "Xiao Tian, you must be hungry, let's eat first"
He was extremely surprised, stood up, and the joints in his body made a crackling sound, as if his bones had found their proper place again
A police officer tapped the iron door of the detention room with a baton and impatiently shouted, "You little brat, what are you howling about... shut up!"
Without waiting for Chi Ming to respond, Qin Ming quickly walked out, and soon he heard the sound of a car starting.
Chi Ming was not cultivated from a mortal; he directly ascended to divinity from the Great Demon Lord. He has limited understanding of the secular world, and coupled with his considerable admiration for his elder brother Li Qiang, he does not reject interactions with the secular realm
When Chi Ming saw Captain Qin Ming, Sister Long had just set the elevator.
In an instant, Chi Ming felt an overwhelming sorrow in his heart and also experienced the helplessness of the mortal world, his curiosity piqued.
The detention room was empty, and Qin Xiaotian sat on the ground with his arms propped up. The pain in his arms was secondary; what pained him more was the sound of his mother's sobs as she departed
After thinking for a long time without finding an answer, he thought to himself: "It doesn't matter, as long as my arm is healed, what can those scoundrels do to me?"
If Chi Ming's elder brother, Li Qiang, were to see him actually engaging in casual conversation with an ordinary person, he would probably be so astonished that his jaw would drop
Two police officers entered from outside, and one of them said, "Captain Qin, you are here too?"
At this moment, Chi Ming stealthily arrived and immediately saw Old Ma vigorously swinging his baton, his face twisted in a fierce expression as he struck Qin Xiaotian...
Hehe, you will find how... perverse this world is, hehe
This peculiar technique can only be joyfully mastered by Chi Ming; it would be quite difficult for another cultivator to achieve such a perfect balance. After all, he is a super expert among cultivators.
Qin Xiaotian has not fully awakened until now; the sudden attack by Old Ma left him unable to make any effective struggle. Fortunately, he did not move, as he was still unaware of how powerful he truly was
Qin Xiaotian's courage grew bolder, as he realized that when the police baton struck his body, his muscles seemed to quiver just enough to dissipate the force of the blow, leaving him with no sensation of pain
Sister Long said: "His name is Qin Xiaotian. He has been mischievous since childhood, but fortunately, he is willing to study. However, he enjoys fighting with others... Sigh, I won't say more. I need to wash the dishes, and I still have to bring him lunch this afternoon. You should take a rest for now." With a worried expression, she entered the kitchen
He quietly drew out a high-voltage electric shock baton
Qin Ming tightly clutched his hat, remaining silent, while Long Sao could not help but quietly weep
Qin Xiaotian stood up, gently wiped away Long Sao's tears, and said, "Mom, it's alright, don't be sad." He glanced at Qin Ming and turned to walk out the door
Qin Xiaotian surprisingly did not die, and he was quite impressed by this
Qin Xiaotian understood that the other party had sent someone to repair him. At this moment, resistance was futile. Throughout his life, he had encountered police officers the most, so he was very clear about what the other party intended to do
Qin Xiaotian was astonished; he did not know what had happened
Long Sao could not help but laugh. No wonder Old Qin whispered to her when he left that this young man was a bit foolish. At that time, she did not believe it. It seems that this seemingly intelligent and handsome young man is indeed a bit foolish. If it were so easy to treat, she would have long been able to walk without a limp and would not have to stay at home doing housework every day. As long as her leg could be healed, finding a job would not be difficult.
Sister Long sighed and said with a bitter smile, "A few years ago, I was hit by a car and nearly lost my life... Sigh, at that time, our old Qin had offended many people and was harmed by others."
Sister Long's legs went weak and she sat down on the ground. Qin Ming hurriedly stepped forward to support her and said, "Captain Lü is an acquaintance, Xiao Tian won't suffer, let's... let's go home."
He secretly wondered, had the previous pain already numbed all his nerves? If it weren't for the sudden change in his body, would he not have been beaten to a pulp by the two officers
A single bed covered with a sheet, and Chi Ming sits on the edge of the bed with his eyes closed in deep thought
Chi Ming's figure immediately vanished from the room, as he stealthily followed Sister Long out.
Sister Long had been walking for a long time, and Chi Ming wished he could go up and support her, as her pace was truly too slow. Sister Long had difficulty with her legs, and it was only after much effort that she managed to board a bus, which made her speed slightly faster. Chi Ming flew to the top of the bus, and when Sister Long reached her stop and got off, he also floated down gracefully. After walking a short distance along the main street, Sister Long entered a hospital.
The couple supported each other as they walked out the door
Qin Xiaotian's footsteps became slightly unsteady, he paused for a moment, and then continued to walk outside
He held his head in deep thought, pondering what could be the reason for such a change in his body. The only clues were the strange pain he had just experienced and that nightmarish sensation.
Chi Ming vanished silently into the air
After the arrest warrant was read, the officer behind Captain Lü took out the handcuffs
Qin Xiaotian has finally awakened
Zhang Kuo and Old Ma were both baffled by Qin Xiaotian's words. Having been police officers for many years, they had encountered many arrogant and conceited prisoners, but it was their first time witnessing someone as audacious as Qin Xiaotian
Captain Lu is the head of the Criminal Investigation Team. He personally came to arrest Qin Xiaotian at the instruction of the police chief. Qin Xiaotian's recent assault involved individuals with significant connections, including people from high government offices, which is why the chief sent Captain Lu to carry out the arrest personally
Qin Xiaotian suddenly raised his head and said indignantly: "I endure? I have already endured for a long time. They pick fights for no reason and defend their insults for no reason. I only retorted once, and they attacked like mad dogs... Why should I let them bully me! Since they struck first... I..." He caught sight of Sister Long entering the room and stopped speaking.
Chi Ming clearly sensed the emotions of this family of three: the father's anxiety and depression, the mother's helplessness and sadness, and the son's anger and sorrow. This was very new to him, representing emotional changes he rarely experienced.
Qin Xiaotian was on the verge of madness; he could clearly feel the cracking of his bones and the pain surging in like a tide, yet he was unable to lose consciousness, nor could he alleviate his suffering by howling, leaving him with no choice but to endure it forcefully
Qin Xiaotian felt as if he were trapped in a nightmare, perceiving nothing but darkness before him. He then sensed someone gripping the back of his collar, lifting him to his feet. However, he could not hear any sounds, see any light, or utter a word. His body was extraordinarily sensitive, especially the pain in his arms, which felt magnified countless times, causing him unbearable suffering
Chi Ming felt somewhat disappointed; this fellow was too weak, unable to withstand such a small amount of spiritual energy. How could he possibly cultivate well in the future
Sister Long's face was filled with bitterness as she walked up to Qin Xiaotian, reached out to touch the plaster on his arm, and said, "Xiaotian, does it still hurt?"
In fact, with the protection of the divine power of Chiming, Qin Xiaotian would find it difficult to die even if he wanted to. He should also reflect on his own level; such a transformation is simply not a problem for him.
Zhang Kuo's small eyes were fixed intently on Qin Xiaotian, and he was extremely surprised. He was well aware of the power of the police baton; Old Ma's methods were quite ruthless, and an ordinary person would hardly be able to withstand such a blow. The strange thing was that Qin Xiaotian seemed completely unconcerned. Did he not fear pain?
Zhang Kuo had small eyes, a face full of acne, and his hair was shaved very short. He said with a sly smile: "Old Ma, you don't need to be so polite, hehe, I know your brother has been itching to do something for a long time."
However, Chi Ming, growing impatient, directly infused a surge of divine energy into Qin Xiaotian's abdomen, regardless of whether Qin Xiaotian could handle such terrifying power
Fortunately, Chi Ming noticed something was wrong in time. As he saw Qin Xiaotian's face turn pale and beads of sweat pouring down his face, he slightly eased up and focused on protecting Qin Xiaotian's heart and brain
He wants to scream, yet cannot produce any sound
After some consideration, Chiming decided to seal a spiritual spell, preventing that surge of divine power from erupting freely, allowing only a small amount to be used each time
Sister Long stared blankly at Chiming and instinctively said: "Xiao Tian is my son... I, I am certainly nervous..."
This cry has existed in his heart for a long time, and it is pitiful that he has never had the opportunity to shout it out. As soon as he awakens, he hurriedly lets out a wild roar.
Qin Ming's expression changed dramatically as he said, "Captain Lu, how is it you?"
What infuriated Old Ma was Qin Xiaotian's extremely disdainful gaze; no matter what means were used to beat him, Qin Xiaotian always wore an expression of complete indifference
Qin Xiaotian replied lightly, "If not surnamed Ma... then it shall be Zhu... after all, they are all livestock!"
Qin Ming stood in the hospital room with a grim expression. A tall, thin young man sat on the edge of the bed, his arm in a cast, his head lowered as he stared at the floor, one foot unconsciously dragging back and forth on the ground
Although she felt very tired, she could not fall asleep no matter what. Thinking of Xiao Tian, her heart felt as if it were suspended in mid-air, unable to settle down.
Sister Long said: "He went to find a friend, sigh, for Xiao Tian..."
A mournful wail echoed through the detention room
He does not know what has happened, and even if he wants to see, he cannot. It feels as if he has fallen into hell, as if he has emerged from a boiling oil pot only to face a mountain of knives
Qin Xiaotian lay limply on the ground like noodles just pulled from a pot. The moment Chi Ming released his restraints, he completely lost consciousness.
Sister Long smiled and said, "Thank you, young man. It would be great if you could cure it; otherwise, don't waste your efforts."
Chi Ming curiously asked: "Xiao Tian... his arm should be fine, why are you all so nervous? It's just a fight, what's the big deal?"
One of the officers said: "With hands on the head, crouching on the ground"
Qin Xiaotian was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground by a punch. Immediately afterward, he felt his wrist being forcefully twisted. He understood that this guy intended to affect his already fractured arm. If his arm had not already healed, he would definitely not be able to withstand such intense pain
He felt very confused; he had fought too much and had never thought there was any problem.
