Ancient Malignant Insect, End of Script

Wei Qixin opened her eyes and looked suspiciously at Yi Xiaofeng, who was sneaking around in the distance.

"Is that brat trying to run? My daughter is so beautiful. He has no reason to run."

Wei Qixin frowned, unable to understand.

She suddenly remembered Wang Yanran's evaluation of Yi Xiaofeng: he possessed a Chivalrous Heart.

Could it be that this brat looked down on her Su Xin Palace?

Wei Qixin also recalled how Yi Xiaofeng had specifically asked about the origins of Su Xin Palace earlier.

Hmph!

Good brat!

He actually looked down on the demonic path!

A cold glint flashed through Wei Qixin's eyes.

Elsewhere.

Yi Xiaofeng did not notice Wei Qixin watching him. Gripping the Azure Nose Sword, he moved forward unsteadily.

Although Wei Qixin's medicine was effective, he still could not make any large movements.

He began wandering around the valley.

He did not go too far. What if there were wild beasts nearby?

It would be best if Wei Qixin and Wang Yanran could see him.

The viewers were very curious about what he was doing.

"What is this guy doing now?"

"He must be looking for treasure. After all, whenever the protagonist falls off a cliff, he always finds treasure!"

"Hahaha, looks like he has a lot of confidence in his luck!"

"If he can find a secret manual just by wandering around, I'll take his surname!"

"Don't say that so casually. What if he really finds one? He's the man said to have the Script!"

After a night passed, the number of viewers in Yi Xiaofeng's livestream dropped drastically. The competition in Pure Yang City was still fierce, making it far more entertaining than the recuperation here.

Whenever Yi Xiaofeng heard a notification that a contestant had been eliminated, he assumed the contestants were fighting among themselves.

In the blink of an eye.

An hour and a half passed.

Yi Xiaofeng finally spotted a red glow amid a patch of weeds.

He immediately moved closer.

He blew on his left hand and muttered, "Oh mighty god of luck, please bless me with good fortune!"

The viewers froze upon hearing that.

Had this guy really found treasure?

Yi Xiaofeng used the Azure Nose Sword to cut away the surrounding weeds, his gaze fixed on the source of the red light.

There were two grains of rice in the soil—or rather, two white eggs.

"What are these?"

Yi Xiaofeng was curious.

He focused his eyes, trying to identify the item's true information.

Soon, a line of text appeared before him:

Spirit Devouring Scorpion (Insect Egg): An Ancient Malignant Insect. A male-female pair that can sense each other. It can devour the spiritual power of all living beings. Once fully grown, it can devour the Magic Power of immortals and gods. It is incomparably loyal to its master and incomparably brutal toward its enemies.

Ancient Malignant Insect?

Yi Xiaofeng was startled and instinctively pulled back his hand.

Just thinking of scorpions made his skin crawl.

However, he noticed the Spirit Devouring Scorpion's nature: incomparably loyal to its master.

After hesitating for a moment, Yi Xiaofeng picked up the two Insect Eggs.

He turned and walked toward Wei Qixin and Wang Yanran.

The viewers laughed.

"I thought it was really treasure!"

"Which bastard ate here and dropped rice from his mouth? What a sloppy job!"

"Hahaha, he really thinks these are treasures?"

"Understandable, understandable. He spent three hours looking..."

"I have to say, Yi Xiaofeng's perseverance is impressive."

"Why do I think he's just stupid?"

When he arrived before Wei Qixin, Yi Xiaofeng spread open his palm and asked, "Senior Wei, how does one raise Insect Eggs of an Ancient Malignant Insect like these?"

Ancient Malignant Insect?

The Barrage was flooded with hahaha.

Wei Qixin frowned. "Ancient Malignant Insect? Are you still asleep?"

She voiced exactly what the viewers were thinking.

Wang Yanran opened her eyes as well and looked at the Insect Eggs in Yi Xiaofeng's hand.

Wei Qixin glanced over. At that glance, her expression changed instantly.

She furrowed her brows tightly and stared carefully at the Insect Eggs.

Her expression left the viewers stunned.

Could these really be Insect Eggs of an Ancient Malignant Insect?

"Do you know this insect's origins?" Wei Qixin asked.

Yi Xiaofeng had already prepared an explanation on his way over. "I once read a book. This insect is very likely a Spirit Devouring Scorpion, and they are a male-female pair. I can give the female one to Yanran, so we can rely on the Spirit Devouring Scorpions to sense each other in the future."

Wang Yanran was instantly delighted and reached out to take it.

Wei Qixin smacked the back of her hand, shot her a glare, then looked at Yi Xiaofeng with a complicated gaze.

This brat isn't simple...

Wei Qixin felt that she had underestimated Yi Xiaofeng.

When Yi Xiaofeng fell off the cliff earlier, he had not panicked at all. When he saw her black mist, he had even smiled, as though he had long anticipated that she would appear.

"The Spirit Devouring Scorpion is merely a legend. No one has ever truly seen one, so you have probably mistaken it. However, these Insect Eggs do contain spiritual power fluctuations and are definitely no ordinary objects. Some disciples of my Su Xin Palace raise venomous insects as well. I will now teach you how to make these vicious insects acknowledge you as their masters," Wei Qixin said after a moment of thought.

Yi Xiaofeng raised his brows slightly.

It seemed Wei Qixin did not know much about the Spirit Devouring Scorpion.

Once fully grown, a Spirit Devouring Scorpion could devour the power of immortals and gods!

If word got out, it would surely cause a bloody storm!

If Wei Qixin had not been Wang Yanran's mother, Yi Xiaofeng would not have told her the truth.

Explaining it clearly was also to avoid the potential dangers of raising Spirit Devouring Scorpions.

Wei Qixin handed the female egg to Wang Yanran, then began teaching them how to draw out their Essence Blood and drip it onto the Insect Eggs.

Yi Xiaofeng was very surprised that Wei Qixin could directly distinguish the eggs' sexes.

After three hours, as dusk arrived, the two finally succeeded in making the Insect Eggs acknowledge them as their masters.

Yi Xiaofeng felt that he had formed some kind of connection with the Insect Egg in his hand. He could even sense that it had become much more attached to him and no longer resisted him as before.

"This insect is extremely sensitive to spiritual power. It has already begun unconsciously absorbing your spiritual power. It seems you can raise it with spiritual power in the future, which is not troublesome. However, you must cultivate diligently. Otherwise, one day your cultivation may no longer be enough to satisfy this insect, and you will suffer backlash," Wei Qixin reminded them.

Yi Xiaofeng and Wang Yanran nodded.

Over the next few days, they cultivated there.

Wei Qixin seemed to intend for Wang Yanran to awaken here.

What puzzled Yi Xiaofeng was why the Sword Saint had not come looking for them.

In the blink of an eye, the seventh day arrived.

At noon, Wang Yanran consumed the Pure Yang Pill and successfully awakened her Demonic Blood.

The entire process was not as earth-shaking as Yi Xiaofeng had imagined. Wang Yanran simply meditated on the grass. Her aura suddenly surged, a Blood Mark appeared between her brows, and she successfully awakened.

Afterward, Wang Yanran continued meditating, consolidating the surging spiritual power brought by her Demonic Blood.

"Life is but a dream, and the martial world is unpredictable. This Script has now ended."

"Congratulations, you have completed the Main Quest—Find the Pure Yang Pill. You have received 1,000 points!"

"Congratulations, you have completed Side Quest One, successfully investigating the truth behind City Lord Tang's feigned death. You have received 500 points!"

"Congratulations, you have completed Side Quest Three, protecting Tang Yiqian. You have received 500 points!"

"Congratulations, you have completed Side Quest Six, saving Hunter Xu. You have received 300 points!"

"One minute from now, you will be transported back to reality!"

"Special reminder: You may not reveal any information regarding the game or reality to characters within the game. Any violation will result in immediate elimination!"

The successive notifications jolted Yi Xiaofeng awake. He immediately stood up.

One minute?

That was way too fast!

Yi Xiaofeng gritted his teeth and immediately walked over to Wang Yanran.

Wei Qixin opened her eyes and looked at him, not understanding what he intended to do.

"Yanran, I'm leaving. We will meet again in the future. Remember, my real name is Yi Xiaofeng. Zhang Junyi is only one of my false identities."

Yi Xiaofeng spoke seriously, causing Wang Yanran to open her eyes.

She immediately grew nervous and asked, "Husband, where are you going?"

"It is my destiny. I have no choice but to leave," Yi Xiaofeng sighed.

The system would not let him say it, so he could only be vague.

Yi Xiaofeng continued, "You must cultivate well. Perhaps we will meet again in a few months. In the future, I will go to Su Xin Palace to find you, and then I will openly ask for your hand in marriage!"

Wang Yanran felt delighted upon hearing this, but she was also worried.

She tightly grabbed Yi Xiaofeng's arm and asked nervously, "Do you really have to leave?"

Yi Xiaofeng sighed helplessly. "I have no choice. This time, when I came to Pure Yang City, I also..."

Before he could finish, he suddenly vanished.

Wang Yanran froze.

Wei Qixin's eyes widened as she shot to her feet.
