Murong's Method

After hearing Zhou Hao's story about the Illusionary Realm, Murong's expression became somewhat subtle.

Zhou Hao didn't understand what her look meant and asked worriedly, "Is it... is it very serious?"

Murong's expression grew more subtle, then she said, "That's it?"

"Huh?" Zhou Hao never expected Murong to react like this.

Murong looked at him speechlessly and said, "Killing people, and you developed an inner demon over it?"

Hearing this, Zhou Hao's mouth twitched. Right! He forgot, she was also a seasoned adventurer in this Mysterious Fantasy world, and her status was extremely high. Killing people was probably as simple as eating and drinking for her.

Seeing his stiff expression, Murong continued with a gentle smile, "Actually, it's good that you're like this. Not daring to kill shows your past life was very peaceful. Many people envy that kind of life!"

Zhou Hao smiled and scratched his head, "Yeah! The country I lived in, the era I lived in, were the best for me."

Murong raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Now that you say that, I'm curious to see it."

Zhou Hao shrugged helplessly, shaking his head with a wry smile, "I don't know how to go back either."

"Right," Murong paused and asked, "You were here when we first met. How did you get here?"

Zhou Hao sighed softly, stroking the Spirit-Womb Ring, "It teleported me here. I can't go back now."

Murong froze for a moment, instantly thinking of her own Spirit-Womb Ring. If it had a teleportation function, wouldn't that mean she missed the opportunity to "spend time together" with Zhou Hao?

She immediately figured out the main reason: it was all because she had the Chaos Divine Body, which had broken the Spirit-Womb Ring's teleportation array.

Bang~

The more Murong thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't help but explode, and the entire secret chamber instantly turned into an ice chamber. However, all the ice automatically avoided Zhou Hao and the two beasts, Zhou Yuanbao and Mu Jinyin.

Even so, it still startled Zhou Hao and the others.

Zhou Hao hesitated and asked timidly, "What's... what's wrong?"

It scared him to death when it suddenly exploded.

Murong waved her hand, "It's nothing, just thought of something unpleasant."

She sighed inwardly, "I can only blame myself."

Who knew her Chaos Divine Body was so powerful? However, she had to marvel again at Du Tianhong's skill. She couldn't even figure out the teleportation array on the Spirit-Womb Ring. It definitely wasn't an ordinary teleportation array.

Zhou Hao didn't dare to speak much now. Being startled by her like that, he felt his inner demon was almost scared away.

Murong thought for a moment, then turned to Zhou Hao and asked, "Where were we just now?"

"Huh?" Zhou Hao was also completely bewildered and couldn't answer for a moment.

Murong waved her hand, "Never mind, let's continue with the topic of your inner demon."

She organized her thoughts and said, "Actually, your inner demon is very easy to resolve."

Hearing this, Zhou Hao's eyes lit up, and he asked, "How?"

"Kill more people, and you'll get used to it," Murong said this terrifying sentence with a blank expression.

Zhou Hao looked at her speechlessly, as if asking, "Is there a more reliable method?"

Seeing Zhou Hao's speechless expression, Murong chuckled, then said, "Just kidding."

Zhou Hao's mouth twitched non-stop. If he could win, he'd show this woman right now.

He realized Murong quite enjoyed playing with him, in all sorts of ways.

Murong smiled and continued, "This kind of inner demon only appears in people like you. Any other cultivator wouldn't have this kind of trouble."

Zhou Hao rolled his eyes and pouted, "Are you praising me or mocking me?"

"Of course, I'm praising you," Murong said with certainty. "Having this kind of inner demon means you are a kind person. If it were anyone else killing for the first time, although they might experience fear, unease, guilt, etc., accompanied by strong discomfort, they wouldn't develop an inner demon like you.

Anyone who develops an inner demon like yours after their first kill is, without exception, a kind person."

The inner demon Zhou Hao developed wasn't actually due to fear, but rather his questioning of the act of "killing." Inner demons sometimes arise from overthinking things that have no answers.

Murong looked at Zhou Hao and said, "Actually, it's very simple to resolve your inner demon: just don't overthink it."

"Huh?" Zhou Hao looked confused, not understanding.

Murong walked a couple of steps with her hands behind her back, looking at the formation on the ceiling. "Your inner demon originates from your thoughts. It's because you overthink things, but you can't figure them out. Without an answer, you get trapped, and the deeper you fall, the deeper you get. This is the process of an inner demon forming.

So, what you need is to empty your mind and body, and stop thinking about this problem. Just because there's no answer now doesn't mean there won't be one later. Before you get the answer, you need to experience things. When you've experienced enough, the answer might appear before you."

Zhou Hao listened intently and felt Murong's words made a lot of sense. But the problem was, doing it was much harder than saying it. Sometimes, his thoughts weren't something he could control.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Is there any way I can empty my mind?"

Murong turned back and smiled sweetly, "Yes."

Zhou Hao had a bad feeling and asked cautiously, "What?"

"What do you think?" Murong chuckled softly.

Zhou Hao found himself back in the secret chamber above. Being here, he knew without a doubt what he needed to do.

He pondered for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully, "Indeed, doing more exciting things should help me distract myself."

As he spoke, he began to take off his clothes.

Murong smiled and shook her head, saying, "This isn't a solution. I just don't want to waste time. I'll tell you as we go."

Zhou Hao was taken aback; he thought this was meant to distract him!

Whatever, he'd enjoy it first.

He sped up his movements to undress, and soon the two were "barely clothed."

In the blink of an eye, Murong was in front of Zhou Hao. Their heights were similar, and with a slight lean, she kissed him.

Zhou Hao's mind immediately heated up, and then he responded to Murong.

Even though Murong said this wasn't a solution, it truly stopped him from thinking about anything else. His eyes and mind were filled only with Murong's current alluring and captivating posture.

Following this, the two began their "great battl
