Chapter 2611 The Cultivation Of Demons
Lin Mu debated whether he should leave the Seventh Burdock Courtyard but then decided against it.
"It won't be the most appropriate to leave her alone here, would it? There aren't even servants around," Lin Mu thought to himself.
Due to the nature of the Demons, and out of consideration for the servants, the Seventh Burdock Courtyard was not assigned any attendants. Those who had been working there were temporarily dismissed, much to their relief.
Taking care of Demons and serving them wasn't something ordinary servants could handle. Most of them were just in the Spirit Realm, with a few high-ranking ones reaching the False or First Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm. Even with these levels of cultivation, an accidental misstep could anger the Demons, leading to disastrous consequences.
Besides, Demons weren't accustomed to such luxuries and wouldn't appreciate humans bustling about in their midst. Even Ziran's wife and family presented risks if an unforeseen incident occurred. Thus, the Crown Prince, in his wisdom, decided it was best not to assign servants to the Demons' quarters.
Another factor Lin Mu had to consider was the unpredictability of the Demons. If Karlia's children found their mother unconscious and unresponsive, they might grow anxious and angry, suspecting foul play or even poisoning.
"My presence here might rile them up, but at least I can handle them if needed," Lin Mu reasoned.
He had observed the Demons and noted their varying cultivation bases, ranging from the First Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm to the Fourth Tribulation Stage. He wasn't sure about their exact ages, but based on Ziran's marriage timeline of around three thousand years, the eldest child likely wouldn't exceed that age.
"They're all quite talented," Lin Mu thought, reflecting on their cultivation progress.
A tall figure entered, their crimson eyes glowing faintly in the dim light. The young Demon bore tattoos that shimmered subtly on their arms and neck, a mark of their progress in cultivation.
"I'm Lin Mu," he replied calmly not recognizing the Demon. "Your mother is resting inside. She's fine but needs time to recover."
The Demon's eyes narrowed briefly before they relaxed. "Mother mentioned you," they said. "She spoke of a human cultivator who she wished to challenge. Is that you?"
Lin Mu nodded surprised that Karlia had managed to inform them during their little spar. "Yes. She's strong, but the recent battle was intense."
The young Demon stepped closer, their gaze scanning Lin Mu with curiosity.
"You're not like other humans I've encountered," they remarked.
"I've heard that before," Lin Mu said with a faint smile. "Your mother is remarkable, and I have no doubt she'll recover quickly. Still, I stayed to ensure everything was fine."
The Demon inclined their head slightly. "Thank you. I'll inform my siblings. They'll want to see her."
Lin Mu watched as the young Demon left the courtyard, their presence fading into the distance. He leaned back in the pergola, finishing his tea and pondering the encounter.
"Demons are certainly an intriguing race," he thought. "Not all of them seem to be high strung at least, seeing from this child."
The courtyard grew quiet once more, the serenity broken only by the rustling of leaves.
