I Have an Omen System-Chapter 117 - 111: Double Agent (Part 2)

The Giant Crab Demon’s cyan shell slowly turned a bright red.

A rich, fragrant aroma of seafood filled the air, so appetizing it made one’s mouth water.

A gray-robed cultivator at the Human Dao Foundation Establishment Fourth Level mustered his courage and stepped forward. "Fellow Daoist, may I ask what you are cooking?"

Qin Xuan laughed heartily and carved off a piece with his knife.

"This is the flesh of a Foundation Establishment-level Cyan Crab Demon. It’s highly nutritious for us and can even improve one’s Cultivation. Ten low-grade spirit stones a pound. Would you like a piece, Fellow Daoist?"

"You have great skill, Fellow Daoist, but unfortunately, my pockets are a bit empty."

The gray-robed cultivator was drooling, but when he thought of his meager supply of Spirit Stones, he couldn’t help but blush.

"No matter. Here, this is a gift for you. Let’s consider it a token of our new friendship, Fellow Daoist!"

The gray-robed cultivator was overjoyed. "May I ask for your esteemed name, Fellow Daoist?"

Qin Xuan’s eyes darted around. "I am Shi Huaizhong of the Demon Sect!"

"Ah!"

Hearing that he was from the Demon Sect, the gray-robed cultivator was so frightened his hands trembled. He slipped and nearly fell, not even caring that the crab meat had dropped to the ground. He scrambled up and ran for his life.

Qin Xuan let out another hearty laugh.

At that moment, a Daqian Cultivator finally recognized Qin Xuan’s "Du Legu" identity.

"Fellow Daoist Qian, that cultivator is obviously messing with you! Look at the Cyan Mushroom Beast behind him—it’s clearly a Lifebound Companion from the Profound Cliff Du Family!"

"He’s one of our own Daqian Cultivators, not a disciple of the Demon Sect."

"That’s right."

Another cultivator chimed in, "And look at the traces of white powder left on the Cyan Crab. That’s clearly the signature Spore Poison Fog of the Profound Cliff Du Family."

Everyone burst into laughter.

The gray-robed cultivator with the surname Qian immediately turned beet red.

"Fellow Daoist Du, why must you do this? You’ve made a laughingstock of me!"

Qin Xuan laughed. "Fellow Daoist, do you dare to join me now?"

Qian Tong saw how magnanimous Qin Xuan was and smelled the irresistible aroma. "It is what I have wished for, but I did not dare to ask!"

The moment he took a bite, the cultivator named Qian’s eyes lit up.

"This Cyan Crab Demon flesh... it actually has the effect of subtly enhancing one’s Divine Sense!"

"Perhaps. I’ve eaten so much of it that it doesn’t feel special anymore."

Qin Xuan was not stingy at all. He distributed all several hundred pounds of crab meat from the Cyan Crab for free.

This made the cultivator named Qian ecstatic.

Several more bonfires appeared on the shore, and the aroma of crab meat filled the air.

For a while, the entire coast was filled with a joyous and relaxed atmosphere.

Some cultivators even brought fine wine, and everyone started drinking together. When the drinks were flowing freely, they all began calling each other brothers.

On the first night, only a few scattered Daqian Cultivators had shown up.

On the second night, Qin Xuan once again began roasting Cyan Crab Demon flesh as usual.

Word spread that there was a cultivator from the Profound Cliff Du Family here, one who was extremely generous and was giving away Essence-rich demon flesh for free.

In no time, this attracted over a dozen people.

Qin Xuan couldn’t help but frown.

Just then, the cultivator named Qian made a suggestion. "Fellow Daoist Du, this place is getting crowded, and with so many different people, trouble might arise. I know of a hidden spot called Ghost Cry Reef. Why don’t we move there? The reefs there are rugged and the currents are swift, so few people ever go. That way, just the few of us who met first can share the spirit flesh and drink fine wine. Wouldn’t that be much more enjoyable and carefree?"

Qin Xuan waved his hand. "It’s fine. All who come are guests, and I have more than enough crab demon flesh to go around!"

Everyone looked at him with admiration. "Fellow Daoist Du is so generous!"

However, the cultivator named Qian, who had been one of the first to join, was a little unhappy.

’After all, the more people who participate, the less demon flesh he would get for himself.’

So, a few of them put their heads together and tried their best to persuade Qin Xuan. They even brought up reasons like having a "Pure Dao Discussion" and "avoiding the eyes and ears of the Demon Race."

Qin Xuan couldn’t refuse them and had to reluctantly agree to move to a quiet place the next night, with just their small group.

「Meanwhile.」

「Early the next morning.」

The bright red Giant Crab Demon, Xie Tian, beat his chest and stomped his feet. He knelt before Aao Peak’s Cave Mansion, weeping uncontrollably.

"My lord, you must seek justice for us!"

Qin Xuan, in the guise of Aao Peak, was lounging on a Jade Couch covered with a soft Sea Beast Hide. He looked utterly debauched, as if drained by wine and women, with dark circles under his eyes and an unsteady gait. He impatiently lifted his eyelids.

"What happened? Why are you causing a ruckus in front of my Cave Mansion again? Didn’t I already send Jin Feng to handle it?"

Xie Tian replied, "My lord, Captain Jin has gone missing! The culprit is no stranger. I suspect it must be the Daqian Cultivators!"

Xie Tian waved his hand, and immediately some Fish Demons brought forward the three Crab Demon corpses from the first night, all of which had been sucked dry.

The Koi Merfolk at his side said in a delicate voice, "They’re completely desiccated. Isn’t this the work of a Demon Cultivator? What does it have to do with the Daqian Cultivators?"

Qin Xuan nodded in agreement. "Yun Xia speaks the truth."

Xie Tian shot the Koi Merfolk a look of disgust and took a deep breath. "My lord, there is something you don’t know. Please, look at this Poison Powder."

On the dead Crab Demon corpses, there were still remnants of a colorful poison mist.

At the same time, there were also scattered remains of bright red crab shells that had been boiled.

Xie Tian’s eyes were bloodshot. "Only the Daqian Profound Cliff Du Family has this kind of Poison Powder! It wasn’t a Demon Cultivator at all; that was just a story fabricated by the Du Family cultivators."

"My lord, look! These are the remains of our clansmen that we found. Those Daqian Cultivators actually roasted my Cyan Crab Race brethren alive in public and ate them!"

"For two nights in a row, they’ve been feasting and celebrating!"

"Such a thing happened?"

Qin Xuan flew into a rage, grinding his teeth with a CLICK-CLACK. "That Ye Lan... that Du Family... What audacity! Do they really think I’m afraid of them?!"

"Captain Xie, do not fear. I will personally go and avenge you tonight!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

Xie Tian was moved to tears of gratitude, kowtowing to Qin Xuan with loud THUDS.

As he did so, Xie Tian intentionally looked up and shot the Koi Merfolk a provocative glance, which thoroughly infuriated her.

「That night.」

Qin Xuan, back in his guise as Du Legu, was still casually roasting members of the Cyan Crab Demon Race.
