Devouring

An awkward atmosphere quietly flowed through the magic tower. Sandrew wore a strange smile, and Li Ziran smiled along with him—not because of Sandrew's unauthorized meddling, but because of the man's calm attitude.

Stuffing in a soul was like stuffing a steamed bun into a child's hands because they got hungry halfway home.

Far too willful.

"Is there a way?" Sandrew asked with great concern.

Li Ziran shook his head. He did not know, but there was clearly something wrong with that soul. Demons could devour souls, but this was an undeveloped Embryo—he could not make sense of it.

Now he had to clear out that extra soul. If it burst the Embryo, the trouble would be enormous.

Although Sandrew was the one causing trouble, if they lost this opportunity, Li Ziran would be the one who suffered the loss.

Carefully, he cut open Butterfly Girl's belly again. Her internal organs were all functioning, which was good news. At the very least, those organs were still supplying energy to her uterus.

The three Magic Organs were fine and could still maintain their basic functions. However, her unmodified organs—her stomach, liver, and the like—had atrophied severely, even reaching the brink of withering away.

Li Ziran's gaze fell on Butterfly Girl's uterus. The most dazzling organ had now become like an eggplant beaten by frost.

He could not help frowning. This was highly abnormal.

Her heart, lungs, and uterus all showed the same signs of weakness. According to the normal laws of energy, there was an energy deficit. Something was definitely absorbing energy.

And it was absorbing far too much.

Previously, Butterfly Girl's organs had dried up because her uterus was plundering them. Yet now, the uterus itself seemed to have joined the ranks of the plundered.

It should be the Embryo.
