Reaching his home, Han Li opened the door using an old rusty key, every 'Starlight' receives a good home to live in as a birthright and this was the house he got. It was quite spacious, comfortable and secure.

It even had clean wooden floors.

Going in, he put the cloth packet in his hands on a table and then went to their room, his Mom was sleeping like a log underneath a comfy blanket.

'Still didn't wake up?' he thought and decided not to wake her up, instead, he went to the side of the bed and took out the Demon Transformation Sutra from underneath.

With the book in his hands, he went back and sat on a chair near the table, then took the books he collected from the library out of the cloth packets.

He wanted to understand a bit more about Cultivation before he truly began cultivating.

He knew that if he really started cultivating, getting a Lust Spark would only be a start. Then, there should be the 3 Awakenings.

And after that, the Evolution.

But he knew that there were many people who couldn't achieve the 'Evolution' and had their Sparks go defective. Leading to an end in their path of cultivation.

His mother was a prime example of this.

After failing, she had lost all the strength she accumulated on her three Awakenings and became a Mortal. Even though most people had a spark unlike him, the world was filled with these people who failed even while having the spark.

The people who lost their power.

All the traders were people like that.

All the people in the outer circle of Starlight Zone were people like that.

And he didn't want to be one of them after getting a second chance. He wanted to be one of the inner circle.

Taking a book called 'having a good foundation', he began reading.

How big of a spark was it good to have before second awakening?

How to go about the pain of Awakening?

Things to take note of.

After reading the random books for a while, he read more on his own cultivation technique, he didn't read much into the higher levels since that was generally considered as a bad habit that should be avoided since a practitioner's mind will grow narrow if he knew a cultivation techniques end goal and path.

And he was not a veteran to make changes either, so reading higher levels was only harmful. So he remained focused on what he had to do.

But as he read, one part, a tip from the Sacred Demon himself, came to his attention and it immediately made him frown, "If you believe that you have to take responsibility for all the women that you have sex with, this sutra is not for you. You can never achieve the apex of lust that way. That stage is only achievable by true Demons. You have to lose yourself to lust and let it guide your actions before you guide it."

Reading that, Han Li felt disgruntled, but he shook his head and thought inside, 'Even you said you didn't reach the apex, how can you know what truly is considered apex?'

The world-feared lust demon would have been speechless if he saw a random trash say that to him.

But it was like that some times, people believe what they want, not what they need.

He read for a while, and just as he was starting to read another part, an aroma of cooked Banana fries pierced his nose. He blinked and closed the book, taking the Demon Scripture in his hands. He moved towards the kitchen.

His Mother was awake and cooking, and on the side, there was a plate filled with Banana fries. "What are you cooking?"

"Some rice and cold fish," Yue Li said, focused on her cooking.

Han Li took a tall wooden chair from the side and brought it near her, then lifted her up from the back and made her sit on it; she was barely 1.65 m tall, whereas he was 1.75 tall. So it was easy to carry her up.

"Hadn't I told you to only cook while seated?" Han Li scolded.

"But I don't like cooking while seated..." Yue Li pouted and stirred the mud pot with a laddle.

Her legs had some issues since her failure to evolve and her Spark's defect. So if she stood for long, her legs starts to hurt and it even becomes extremely painful at times.

Only Han Li knew how hard it was to treat that pain, since he couldn't even massage her since even touching was too painful.

"Does it hurt now?" he asked, the pain had been silent for the past few weeks, but he was unsure when it will hit her again.

"No, it doesn't hurt okay? Now go eat that!" Yue Li said with irritation and pointed at the Banana fries.

Taking the plate full of snack in his hand, he spoke, "Why are you so irritated? I am just saying it for your own good. Don't ask me to fetch cold water when it hurts."

Yue Li continued her cooking and acted as if she didn't hear, but then, suddenly asked, "If you wanted to learn the basics of cultivation, you could have just asked me... why take all these book? Don't you have to pay for it?"

"Ah, no, I cooked for the old man there in the past, and he likes my cooking a lot, so it was free. As long as I return it today itself." 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝘰𝓋𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝓂

Yue Li nodded and looked at her cooking.

The preparations ready, she put a lid on the pot and said, "Now wait for—"

Han Li interrupted and said, "Wait for another incense worth of time,"

They both said, "And the dish of the day is ready."

They couldn't help but chuckle.

Then, Yue Li faced him and asked, serious. "So, Xiao Han, what did you decide about getting a Wife?"
