The Rose Hotel had become dilapidated and ruined due to Luo Yan's tribulation.
Even the signboard had been obliterated by the lightning, leaving behind nothing but a pile of rubble.
"I didn't mean to do that..." Seeing this scene, Luo Yan felt a bit embarrassed.
He spread out his divine sense, and before long, he located Xiao Wu and the others.
"Brother Luo Yan, it's so good that you're alright!"
"That lightning tribulation just now was truly terrifying. Even the heavenly tribulations that Da Ming, Er Ming, and I faced back then didn't have even a tenth of its power!"
Seeing Luo Yan return safely, the tense expression Xiao Wu had been wearing slowly relaxed.
She had watched from afar just moments ago and felt a lethal threat from Luo Yan's lightning tribulation, which was one of the reasons she hadn't gone over to help him.
Zhu Zhuqing, standing beside Xiao Wu, also let out a quiet sigh of relief.
Her worry for Luo Yan was no less than Xiao Wu's.
"Yeah, Big Brother, your lightning tribulation was truly terrifying!"
"By comparison, my previous 100,000-year heavenly tribulation was just a tickle!"
Er Ming flashed over to Luo Yan's side, looking him up and down with great admiration.
He wanted to see if Luo Yan had been injured after enduring such a horrific tribulation, but he couldn't spot a single wound on him.
Seeing this, his awe for Luo Yan turned into pure worship.
With Big Brother's current strength, he could probably defeat that human old man with one hand, right?
Er Ming thought to himself.
Previously, Luo Yan's strength was only enough to trade blows with him and Da Ming, but now, he had far surpassed them.
To Er Ming, this was simply inconceivable.
After all, they were all demon beasts; even if one's talent was higher than another's, it shouldn't be this exaggerated.
Unfortunately, Er Ming didn't know that the gap between demons wasn't just about talent, but also...
"Er Ming, you and Da Ming just need to keep working hard. One day, you will reach my level, or even far surpass it!"
Luo Yan didn't explain anything, instead smiling and patting his sturdy shoulder.
Er Ming scratched his head with a silly grin.
Da Ming didn't say anything, but the look in his eyes as he stared at Luo Yan was filled with a burning intensity, as if he wanted to devour him.
Even without Luo Yan releasing his aura, he still gave off the pressure of a superior being.
Furthermore, he felt an extreme sense of temptation coming from him.
"Da Ming, if you have something to say, just say it?" Luo Yan noticed Da Ming's odd behavior and asked.
Being stared at by Da Ming with that kind of look made him feel strange.
It reminded him of those gay men from his past life, which instinctively made his butt clench.
"That... Big Brother, could you give me another drop of your essence blood?"
"I feel that Big Brother's essence blood would be of great use to me; it seems like it could allow my bloodline to... evolve!"
Da Ming's expression was somewhat hesitant.
These were all his guesses, and he wasn't sure if Luo Yan's current essence blood could truly trigger a bloodline evolution for him.
However, a voice in his instincts told him that as long as he could obtain Luo Yan's essence blood, he could complete a transformation.
He didn't know if this transformation was the same bloodline evolution Luo Yan had mentioned before.
Luo Yan had spoken to them about bloodline evolution in the past, and his own bloodline inheritance also contained some fragments of information.
"Da Ming, Big Brother's essence blood is of great use to everyone. It's not just you; even for me and Sister Xiao Wu, refining it would bring significant improvements."
"But Big Brother doesn't have much essence blood. Wouldn't taking it affect Big Brother's cultivation?"
Er Ming had completely become Luo Yan's little brother, and hearing Da Ming ask for essence blood, he immediately became dissatisfied.
If it weren't for the tens of thousands of years of friendship between him and Da Ming, he would have started cursing already.
Uh.
Da Ming felt a bit embarrassed as well.
He had been overcome by desire just now, and since Luo Yan had asked, he had blurted it out.
As a Tier 6 Demon Emperor, he knew the importance of essence blood to a demon beast, and Da Ming regretted saying those words.
"Er Ming, it's fine."
Hearing Er Ming's words, Luo Yan waved his hand.
Essence blood was indeed important to him, but he didn't know how long it would take for his next bloodline evolution, and he had no idea when he would save up enough Resentment Points.
If the essence blood was crucial for Da Ming, giving him a drop wasn't a problem.
After saying this, Luo Yan looked toward Da Ming.
Da Ming's true form is the Sky Azure Bull Python, and he likely possesses dragon bloodline within his body as well.
Luo Yan himself has now completely evolved into a pure-blooded dragon; although his elemental affinity differs from Da Ming's, it is still a dragon bloodline.
Even the Dragon God of the past likely never evolved into a pure-blooded dragon.
In this way, his essence blood is indeed very attractive to Da Ming.
Thinking of this, Luo Yan continued, "Da Ming, you actually have dragon bloodline in your body as well, much like my previous Purple Thunder Blue Python form."
"It must be because I have now evolved into a pure-blooded dragon that you have developed this instinct."
"However, this is not a bad thing. My essence blood could indeed help you evolve. If a single drop of essence blood can assist in your bloodline evolution, then give it a try!"
As he spoke, Luo Yan condensed a drop of Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon essence blood in his palm and held it out before Da Ming.
It would be a good thing if a single drop of essence blood could help Da Ming evolve.
Now that he had broken through to a Tier 7 Demon Venerable, the essence blood within his body had increased exponentially, so a single drop was not that significant.
He could recover it in ten days or half a month.
"Thank you, Big Brother!"
Da Ming took the essence blood, so moved that he wanted to kowtow to Luo Yan.
This was something he had learned during his time in the human world; if you don't know how to thank someone, you should start by kowtowing to them.
"You are not only my little brothers, but also Xiao Wu's brothers. Naturally, I will help you if I can!"
Luo Yan hadn't expected Da Ming to actually want to kowtow to him, so he smiled and helped him up.
It seems Da Ming and Er Ming haven't just been playing around in Suotuo City all this time...
He couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Big Brother, does that mean I can also use your essence blood to evolve?"
Seeing Luo Yan give Da Ming a drop of essence blood, Er Ming's eyes lit up with a brilliant glow.
Although he didn't possess a dragon bloodline, Luo Yan's dragon essence blood was still of great use to him, as it could save him a significant amount of cultivation time.
He wanted some too.
"Er Ming, you don't even have a dragon bloodline, why do you want Brother Luo Yan's essence blood!"
Before Luo Yan could say anything, Xiao Wu, who was in his arms, glared at Er Ming upon hearing his words.
"Sister Xiao Wu... I..."
Er Ming scratched his head in embarrassment.
"It's fine, Er Ming. I'll give you a drop of essence blood as well, but you must cultivate diligently!"
Luo Yan did not refuse and condensed another drop of essence blood, handing it to Er Ming.
However, condensing two drops of essence blood in succession caused Luo Yan's complexion to dim slightly; these two drops were neither too much nor too little.
It still had some impact on him.
"Thank you, Big Brother!"
Er Ming took the essence blood, just as excited as Da Ming.
"Hmph, Brother Luo Yan, why did you give it to him? He can't even use it, he should just work hard on his cultivation!"
Luo Yan's change was spotted by the sharp-eyed Xiao Wu, who immediately felt a bit dissatisfied.
