The Reason for the Increase in Evil Spirit Masters

Teleportation confirmed that she was out of danger, so Tang Ya found an inn to stop at.

It wasn't that she had run out of Milk Bottles; she still had two left, and using one more should be enough to get back.

It also wasn't because she was injured, but rather she wanted to adjust her condition and change her clothes. The killing intent on her body was too heavy after just taking a life, and she didn't want to see Chu Mo in such a state when she returned.

Tang Ya felt this inn was decent enough, so she walked in, locked the door, and headed straight for the shower.

Splash, splash~

[Ya: Is anyone there? I really didn't expect to run into a level 98 Evil Spirit Master while getting my revenge. Luckily, the other party didn't have any killing intent.]

Tang Ya wiped her snow-white skin with her small hands while using the Chat Group to gossip about her status.

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: ?]

[Revenge Girl: ?]

[Dong'er is Not a Girl: Oh my, Sister Tang Ya, you didn't get hurt, did you?]

Chu Mo, who was eating at a table in the cafeteria, looked up at Wang Dong'er in front of him with some shock. He was very curious how she could say such a thing!

If she were truly hurt, would she still be able to send such a message?

[Chu Mo: @Ya, you aren't injured, are you Ya Ya?]

After being reminded, Wang Dong'er, sitting across from him, realized the error in her words. Her face flushed red as she lightly nudged Chu Mo with her leg to show her dissatisfaction, then sent a message to the group.

[Dong'er is Not a Girl: Yes, yes, yes. If you're injured, you can have Chu Mo send you some healing pills directly.]

[Xiao Who Plays the Flute: Sister Tang Ya, I want to know how you managed to escape from that person's hands?]

Xiao Xiao was quite the gossip; for instance, she had heard the popular campus rumor that Tang Ya had been conquered by a newly enrolled junior.

She listened to all sorts of gossip, like Jiang Nannan's secret crush on the new junior, so she knew Tang Ya was just a student. It was hard to believe she could escape from a level 98 Super Douluo.

Inside the inn...

Tang Ya's body paused slightly in the bathroom. Didn't they already know about the lucky draw? Even if the newcomers didn't have the draw records, they should have seen the conversation just now. They had just traded that morning, yet the other party didn't know.

However, having completed her revenge, Tang Ya was in a fairly patient mood. Plus, she had nothing else to do while bathing, so she was happy to explain it to them again.

While she was explaining to Xiao Xiao, Chu Mo fell into silence. He remembered that in the original work, when she went for revenge, she was taken away by a leader of the Holy Spirit Cult.

To be able to trade blows with a level 98 Death God Demon Puppet and claim there was no killing intent? The identity of the other party wasn't hard to guess: Zhongli Wu.

The fact that Tang Ya could actively explain things to them meant she clearly wasn't injured. It seemed she had already completed her revenge; otherwise, she wouldn't be in such a girlish mood.

[Chu Mo: As long as you got your revenge. The one who stopped you should be the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, Zhongli Wu. His Martial Soul is the Death God Demon Puppet. He loves wandering between the three great empires, looking for talent suitable for joining the Holy Spirit Cult.]

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: ...]

Seeing Meng Hongchen's silence, Chu Mo felt a bit puzzled. Although she was the Imperial Preceptor of the Sun Moon Empire, she should still be in a hidden stage. Given Jing Hongchen's current stance, he should be maintaining neutrality and wouldn't let her know about such things, let alone Meng Hongchen.

Could she have overheard something secretly?

However, this was just Chu Mo overthinking things; he was projecting his own complex mindset onto others.

Meng Hongchen's true thoughts weren't that complicated. She just wanted to pop up to increase her activity points so she could win the next draw and ruthlessly crush that Wang Dong'er who kept showing off to her!

But since there was nothing to talk about, she could only leave a message.

[Cat Who Controls Speed: Why do such powerful Evil Spirit Masters even exist?]

[Ya: Why else? They came over from the Sun Moon Continent when the two continents collided.]

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: ...]

[Revenge Girl: ...]

Yes, this time Meng Hongchen was truly speechless.

Lying on her single bed with her legs crossed, she pouted boredly, looked up at the ceiling, and checked the Chat Group again.

Damn it!

My head is so heavy.

What a huge black pot to carry!

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: How can you say that? Doesn't your continent have a single Evil Spirit Master?]

[Dong'er is Not a Girl: But I heard the Holy Spirit Cult is built right on the Sun Moon Continent! You guys keep saying how powerful your Spirit Tools are, why don't you just have them wiped out!]

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: Ah, this.]

[Chu Mo: Although that is very true, since most Evil Spirit Masters do come from the Sun Moon Continent, there are two other reasons.]

[Cat Who Controls Speed: What reasons?]

[Ya: What reasons?]

Just as Chu Mo was about to reply, he felt a gaze from reality. He turned his head and found the other three girls staring straight at him!

"Why are you helping Meng speak!"

Wang Dong'er bared her teeth, revealing her fangs as she asked angrily.

If she changed back into her female attire, she might be very beautiful, but right now, she was someone he couldn't afford to provoke. Definitely couldn't provoke.

The other two girls also nodded, seemingly suspicious that the other party was harboring some strange intentions.

Having been misunderstood, Chu Mo gave a light cough; he was a gentleman, after all, and merely wanted to express the conjectures in his heart.

He cleared his throat and replied, "Naturally, I have my own guesses. I am a very good person, after all."

Wang Dong'er crossed her arms over her chest and let out a soft huff, turning her head to the side.

"Hmph, I don't think so."

"Of course, I'm guessing about those potential major events. After all, ten thousand years have passed; how could things remain completely unchanged? A small matter could potentially lead to massive changes."

Chu Mo waved his hand. He felt that she was truly being a bit oversensitive, as if his previous reply had caused her to lose face.

That shouldn't be the case, though; he had expressed his approval first, and only mentioned other reasons afterward.

"Brother Chu Mo, hurry up and tell us then. Let's see what the reason actually is, and if it has anything to do with ten thousand years ago."

Xiao Xiao loved gossip the most; she nodded sweetly, her twin tails of green hair swaying slightly.

Little lolis were always more likable; tsunderes were really no good. After nodding in response, Chu Mo returned to the group chat to send a message, as there were others in the group as well.

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: @Chu Mo, hurry up and tell us!]

[Tang Ya: I also want to see what other reasons there could be.]

Tang Ya, currently in the shower, was also very curious. While waiting, she applied slippery body wash to her small hands, slowly rubbing it onto her fair skin. A scent of lavender slowly began to diffuse into the air.

Squelch, squelch.

Compared to the first time she showered in Chu Mo's dormitory, this time was much slower and far more meticulous.

As the hot water fell, the bathroom filled with steam. The lingering hostility from having just killed someone added a unique aesthetic, making her look like a fallen, morbid fairy.

However, as the body wash was rinsed away, she began to hum a soft tune, and her appearance changed significantly, returning to that of a lively young girl.

Ding! A new message popped up on the chat interface.

[Chu Mo: It's coming, it's coming. There are two more reasons: first, there is no organization or place specifically dedicated to cleaning up or containing Evil Spirit Masters. And the second reason for the increase in Evil Spirit Masters is that ordinary people always make up the majority of the world; if they have no hope of surviving, then becoming an Evil Spirit Master is their only option.]
