America's No.1 Demon Cultivator

The car sped down Highway 15 on the West Coast.

During the journey, the group had encountered the police twice, but Jonas had taken care of it each time.

By their reckoning, they still had five days to reach the border.

Xiu Nuo, however, was unconcerned, as the time was perfect for him to properly assimilate the Essence Blood Power within his body.

He didn't need to rush his cultivation like before.

One evening while resting, Zhao Hong approached Xiu Nuo.

"What's up?"

"Do you know why I took to the road?" Zhao Hong asked.

"You can tell me what you want, but I think I've already guessed it."

"I got into trouble," Zhao Hong said with a grin, "No choice but to hit the road."

Upon hearing this, Xiu Nuo simply shook his head, "Don't give me the story of being bullied and then fighting back. I can tell, Old Zhao, you've taken plenty of lives; you're no good guy."

Visibly embarrassed by being seen through, Zhao Hong stopped hiding anything and said directly, "Indeed, I was an enforcer for someone, but after the umbrella got investigated, it all fell apart. I am indeed not a good person. But..."

"No buts, so what's your reason for seeking me out? You want to cook up a story to make me see you in a new light?"

"That was the initial thought."

"And now?"

"You seem to be always resting on your own." After a pause, Zhao Hong still asked, "So, I'm wondering if you actually don't care about us, do you?"

"Yeah, you could think that."

"Then... if we were to get to the United States,"

"That place is so vast," Xiu Nuo replied calmly, "you can go wherever you want, it's none of my business."

"I thought you wanted to control us."

Hearing this, Xiu Nuo couldn't help but laugh, "Do you think you're worth it?"

Zhao Hong was at a loss for words.

After a moment of thought, he still said, "I want to follow you."

Xiu Nuo then smiled, "I've said it before, when we get there, everyone goes their own way. Where you go has nothing to do with me, however..."

Xiu Nuo, looking at Zhao Hong with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, continued, "Considering the past few days, I guess I can do you a favor."

Zhao Hong's eyes lit up, "What!"

"Close your eyes, don't resist," Xiu Nuo said, and then touched Zhao Hong's forehead with his hand.

A strand of qi entered Zhao Hong's head, and then Xiu Nuo guided this qi to circulate within Zhao Hong's body.

It has to be said, the talent here was truly awful.

Lucky for him, I am a Demon Cultivator. If someone from a reputable Immortal Sect were here, seeing such a poor foundation, they'd probably advise him to start over from scratch.

After doing all of this, Xiu Nuo looked at Zhao Hong, "Do you feel it?"

At this moment, Zhao Hong's eyes were brimming with excitement, "I feel it!"

"Remember this feeling, you can think of it as... Inner Strength," Xiu Nuo said, recalling a term from his memory, "Practice it daily, I'm not promising immortality, but you should be able to take on ten men no problem."

Zhao Hong was so excited he was trembling, "I... I..."

"No more 'I's'" Xiu Nuo said indifferently, "No need to thank me. If you really want to thank me, if you get into trouble later, just don't say I taught you."

"Yes!" Zhao Hong said, overwhelmed with emotion, "I might not be a good person, but I know the rules of the street! We..."

"Get out. I don't want to listen to your lengthy rant."

"Right away!" Zhao Hong quickly left.

After a moment, Xiu Nuo called out, "Bring those two women here."

"Understood!"

Linlin and Xiao Rui stood before Xiu Nuo.

For some reason, Xiu Nuo felt as if she could see a look of anticipation in their eyes.

They were very ordinary-looking, the kind of ordinary that could not be more so. They only had their youth as an advantage, but these past two days, without the need to flee for their lives, Xiu Nuo found they seemed to have used Disguise Skills.

After applying a touch of rouge and powder to their faces, they at least looked passable.

However, this had nothing to do with Xiu Nuo.

What she had done to Zhao Hong, Xiu Nuo also did to the two of them, then said the same words.

Linlin and Xiao Rui were clearly very disappointed.

But they didn't dare say anything. Xiao Rui mustered the courage to ask to stay with Xiu Nuo, but Xiu Nuo chased her away as well.

These two creatures weren't even qualified to be stoves.

After finishing all this, Xiu Nuo gently sank into his Sea of Consciousness.

Three Demon Seeds had been planted, although they were the most basic. If these three people achieved anything in the future, he would share some of the benefits.

Whether it was good or evil, each had their own methods for teaching and proving the Dao.

Otherwise, what else were Demon Cultivators doing, establishing sects idly?

However, these three people weren't worth the risk of starting his own sect.

The more Xiu Nuo understood this world, the more he wanted to give up his initial plan of establishing a sect.

After all, even without disciples, one could still use teaching to prove the Dao, provided that he taught enough.

Wasn't that how the Human Dao Venerable came to be?

As for the fate of these three, Xiu Nuo didn't care.

If they lived and achieved something great, that was best. If they died in some forgotten corner, it wasn't his concern.

Time flew quickly, and on the fourth day, Wang Fugui found Xiu Nuo.

Wang Fugui had a flattering smile on his face and, after coughing twice, said, "Um... Boss."

"You like to address me that way?"

"Uh... Don't you like it?"

"Whatever. What do you want?"

"It's just that I've asked around about Linlin and Xiao Rui, and they're the typical types fooled by those 500,000 swindlers."

Xiu Nuo looked at Wang Fugui with a smile, "What advantages did they give you to speak on their behalf?"

Wang Fugui was at a loss for words and, after coughing again, managed to say, "Actually... it's nothing much, just some trifles. As you know, we've been pent up for quite some time."

Xiu Nuo glanced at him and said calmly, "You haven't started, have you?"

"No... we haven't reached an agreement yet."

"Stay away from them," Xiu Nuo said indifferently. "As a reward for your hardships on the way here, I advise you not to get into bed with them. If you only want to live for ten more years, then ignore what I've said."

With the Demon Seeds in their bodies, and the Demonic Qi already flowing and unblocking their channels, it was natural for them to absorb yang energy to nourish themselves during sexual intercourse. Given Wang Fugui's physique... saying he had ten years was just to comfort him.

Wang Fugui was stunned, "Why?"

"That is all I will say."

Wang Fugui looked at Xiu Nuo, who had closed his eyes again, and left resentfully.

Approaching the car, Jonas's mocking voice came from inside, "Didn't work out, huh?"

"What's the difference between you and me?" huffed Wang Fugui. "You've also seen how they've changed over these days, they're more spirited than us. Don't you want that?"

"I don't. At least, not now."

"Why not?"

Jonas spoke quietly, "The earlier the benefits are given, the more useless they prove to be. Be grateful, Wang. The boss didn't give you any benefits, which at least proves we're still useful to him after we get to America. We just need to wait for our pay. As for them..."

"That's severance pay."
