"This flower cannot be swallowed. You must gently inhale its stamen and slowly absorb its essence. Then cultivate your soul power gradually, allowing the medicinal effects to spread throughout your limbs and bones." Yue Guan explained the absorption method to Dongfang Yu.
"Thank you, Uncle Yue." Dongfang Yu grinned.
Yue Guan put away all the Immortal Herbs, making Dugu Bo nearly risk his life!
"Hey, Chrysanthemum Guan, at least leave some for me!" Dugu Bo's eyes had turned red.
"Get lost!" Yue Guan slapped Dugu Bo unconscious. As if he would let him have any.
"Xiaoyu, absorb it now. I'll stand guard for you."
Dongfang Yu nodded. Yue Guan could be said to be the person he trusted most, so there was naturally no need for him to stand on ceremony now.
He immediately sat down cross-legged and began absorbing the Qiluo Tulip according to the method.
Gradually, the Angewomon martial soul manifested behind him as well.
Half an hour...
One hour...
Two hours...
"Hoo." Dongfang Yu opened his eyes and let out a heavy breath.
This feeling was amazing.
His soul power had now reached level 40. He believed that once he obtained a Soul Ring, there would still be plenty of room for improvement.
"Hm?" Yue Guan murmured.
Dongfang Yu asked, "What is it, Uncle Yue?"
"Xiaoyu, I feel like your martial soul has changed somewhat..."
"Really?" Dongfang Yu turned around to look at Angewomon, his face full of puzzlement.
It did seem like there had been some changes, but he could not say exactly where.
"Damn! It's the wings!" More than ten minutes later, Dongfang Yu suddenly cried out, looking utterly dumbfounded.
"Ah, right..." Before Yue Guan could finish speaking, his vision went dark and he fainted.
"Uncle Yue, Uncle Yue!" Dongfang Yu hurried over to check on him. He cautiously scanned the surroundings, yet found no one.
So who had launched that sneak attack?
As if possessed, Dongfang Yu shifted his gaze to Angewomon.
Yes, Angewomon had actually grown another pair of wings. She had once had six wings, but now she had eight!
Walking closer to Angewomon, Dongfang Yu panted heavily and stared at her without blinking.
This... was evolution?!
Good heavens!
Ever since he had taken a good look at Angewomon a few years ago, he had not really done anything afterward. Back then, it had only been a moment of heated impulse, with lust clouding his mind.
After all, she had no life. No matter how shameless he was, he would not go too far with a corpse. At most, he had taken a little advantage, touching her face, hands, thighs, and the like. Besides, he was already in his thirties and did not even have a girlfriend.
But afterward, he had stopped getting handsy. He spent most of his time cultivating.
But now... why did it feel as though she had come alive? Was it an illusion?
Dongfang Yu planned to move closer and take a careful look.
But before he could get any closer—
"Ah!" Dongfang Yu was instantly sent flying, a slap mark appearing on his face.
"Who was that?" He sprang to his feet and looked around in horror, utterly on guard.
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, Dongfang Yu heard a woman's voice, seemingly laughing at him.
"You've got the lust, but not the guts."
Dongfang Yu stiffly turned toward Angewomon, his face pale as he said, "It... it's... Angewomon!"
Then, a horrifying scene unfolded!
Angewomon actually stepped toward him. Her movements were elegant, her jade sleeves stirring the air. Her grace resembled an orchid concealing its splendor, permeating every detail of her being.
At that moment, Dongfang Yu had forgotten who he was and where he was. His mind was completely blank!
The corpse had risen!
"Don't move." Angewomon parted her crimson lips, freezing Dongfang Yu just as he was about to run.
"Why are you running? It's not like I'm going to eat you."
Dongfang Yu's face looked as ugly as if he had given birth to seven babies in one breath. "I... you..."
"Now you know fear? Weren't you quite bold back then?" Angewomon chuckled softly again.
Back then, this shameless bastard had dared to take liberties with her while she was asleep. Although he had not gone too far and had merely touched her face, hands, thighs, and so on, it was still unforgivable!
"I..." Dongfang Yu neither knew whether to laugh nor cry, and he did not dare speak carelessly. The slap mark on his face was still there.
"I don't know why he chose you." Angewomon seemed very dissatisfied with Dongfang Yu as she muttered to herself.
Dongfang Yu simply kept quiet, perfectly embodying the saying that silence was golden.
"Forget it. Let's talk business."
"Simply put, I'm here to help you," Angewomon said.
Dongfang Yu's mouth twitched. "You... are helping me?"
"Yes. As long as I help you cultivate to the realm of a god of this plane, I'll be free." Angewomon sounded uninterested, as though she did not care much.
"And once you cultivate to that realm, theoretically speaking, you can obtain anything. In this world, you could be considered omnipotent."
"Well? Tempted?" Angewomon laughed softly.
"Obtain anything?" Dongfang Yu froze. There were quite a lot of things he wanted.
"That's right."
"Then I..."
"Can I have you?"
Angewomon: "..."
This bastard did not deserve a kind face. He had just realized she was here to help him and guessed that she would not do anything to him, yet he immediately started getting ideas about her.
His audacity was simply boundless!
"You don't need to wait until then. You can have me now," Angewomon replied.
Dongfang Yu had only been testing her, seeing whether she would harm him or even kill him.
Now, it seemed she truly bore him no ill will. Otherwise, she would not have tolerated such crude words.
As for why he had dared to ask her that, he had guessed from her words that she had been forcibly turned into his martial soul. She could only gain freedom by helping him.
That was why he had dared to test her. It was not because he was truly so lustful that he had recklessly sought death.
Angewomon lightly waved her hand toward Yue Guan's body. Immediately afterward, a red flower flew into her hand.
"If you can make it bloom, I'll satisfy you." She handed it to him.
"Acacia Heartbroken Red?" Dongfang Yu asked uncertainly.
"Yes."
Taking the Acacia Heartbroken Red, Dongfang Yu smiled awkwardly. Since things had already reached this point, there was no harm in trying.
He immediately spat a mouthful of blood onto the flower's stamen.
At the same time, he silently recited Angewomon's name and began imagining her appearance.
Half a minute later—
"Pfft!"
Dongfang Yu spat out another mouthful of blood. Without question, he had failed.
Angewomon laughed again. "Looks like you don't truly like me, little brother."
Dongfang Yu's face darkened. Angewomon was right. He mostly just lusted after her body, and he had long expected the flower would not bloom.
But then again, failing just like that was still rather embarrassing.
And the person he had failed before was Angewomon herself. With her watching him like this, it was even more awkward and humiliating.
