"Brother, Brother, hurry up, hurry up! Your little sister is really hungry~~"
"Eat slowly. Don't rush so much."
"Brother, I can't slow down! I'm really starving."
Ji Feng drove a claw into Xiang Li's neck. The wound was fatal, and blood gushed from his neck.
"Don't die, don't die! Hang in there! Holding on means victory!"
Ji Feng thrust the Bone Spirit Scimitar into Xiang Li's neck.
Most of the Bone Spirit Scimitar's white bones had already been depleted. The few remaining bones formed a membrane that helped stop Xiang Li's bleeding.
Xiang Li kept gasping like someone with terminal asthma.
He didn't want to die. Although he was covered in wounds and had suffered terribly, he really didn't want to die.
As Xiang Li's condition worsened, cold sweat broke out across Ji Feng's back.
"Keep breathing! You have to hold on! Think about your Xiang Family Pill Shop. All that money-you wouldn't want someone else to get it for nothing, would you?
Think about your Soul King cultivation. Cultivation isn't easy. At the very least, you've gulped down plenty of pills. You wouldn't want all those pills to go to waste, would you?
Think about all your concubines. Once you die, they'll each find another man. Plenty of them might have affairs with the Soul Masters serving as your guards.
The moment you die, they'll divide up your money and go running to those guards. You wouldn't want seven or eight cuckold's green hats stacked on your head, would you?
Hold on! Hold on! Don't fall asleep! You can't die yet!"
After hearing Ji Feng's analysis, Xiang Li's breathing instantly grew rapid and forceful.
He didn't want to die or lose everything he had worked so hard to build.
Driven by anger and resentment, his will to live rose to an entirely new level.
Ji Feng turned toward the Dragon Corpse. She had already devoured the first guard's soul, and more than half of the second was gone.
Five or six minutes later, the second soul was swallowed too. Ji Feng took out a packet of tissues and wiped the sweat from Xiang Li's forehead.
"Thanks for hanging in there, Brother Xiang Li. Thanks for the effort. It's all right. Your turn's here now. You'll be free of this soon."
Ji Feng had kept Xiang Li alive all this time just so his little sister could enjoy a fresh soul.
It was like eating Chaoshan beef. Only the meat delivered before dawn, still twitching as though it could dance, was fresh enough. It really tasted different from what was served during the day.
Xiang Li felt a piece being torn from his thigh-a very small piece.
In truth, his thigh was completely unharmed. What had really been torn apart was his soul.
As his soul suffered damage, Xiang Li's thoughts grew increasingly muddled.
But Ji Feng kept jiggling the Bone Spirit Scimitar lodged in his neck, keeping him awake with constant, excruciating pain.
Drool ran from the corners of the Dragon Corpse's mouth. She was clearly enjoying her meal immensely.
Ji Feng asked, "Little sister, how does it taste?"
"So fresh! This feels amazing! It's a hundred times better than those stale old souls in the Star Dou Great Forest. Thank you, Brother! You're the best! You're the best brother in the whole world!"
There was no telling how long those tormented souls in the Star Dou Great Forest had been dead. Buried in the soil by Spider-Woman, they had long since lost their fresh flavor and become stale old souls. They really weren't as tasty as fresh ones.
Smack, smack.
The Dragon Corpse kept chewing the living soul in her mouth.
Now that Ji Feng had Spatial Perception, he could clearly see wisps of white vapor drifting into the Dragon Corpse's mouth.
Xiang Li's expression was hideously contorted, his eyes fixed on Ji Feng.
Ji Feng felt his heartbeat quicken, and his thoughts drifted elsewhere.
Yua Mikami, Kanna Seto, Miu Shirakawa, Purple Light-one teacher after another appeared before his eyes.
Something's wrong. This young master of the Xiang Family seems to have another trick.
No, his Martial Soul isn't as simple as it looks.
This was his special technique, an attempt to disrupt Ji Feng's mind.
Every great family had cultivation methods that formed the foundation of its survival. Even the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had special techniques such as the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart.
It seemed the Xiang Family's special technique was a method of disturbing other people's minds and heightening their desires.
No wonder Xiang Li had married so many wives. Apparently, that was how he practiced this technique.
Ji Feng panted heavily. The Dragon Corpse noticed something was wrong and said, "Brother, you seem a little unwell. Why don't you take shelter in Room One?"
Ji Feng nodded, pulled the Bone Spirit Scimitar from Xiang Li's neck, stored it in Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night, and headed into Room One.
Suddenly, he remembered that something seemed to be missing. He looked around and questioned the Dragon Corpse.
"Where are the pills I brought back? Where did they all go?"
The Dragon Corpse said, "I put all those pills in Room One. You made such a mess here. It looked awful!"
Ji Feng gave an "Oh" and hurried into Room One. He opened his Dragon Pupil, activating his night vision. Throughout the room, bottles and jars lay shattered. Even the wooden crates containing the pills had been smashed.
Seriously, why did she use so much force? Did these things offend her somehow?
Ji Feng wanted to check whether anything had been damaged, but when he picked up a few bottles and looked inside, they were empty.
What happened? Everything's gone!
He turned over a wooden crate lying upside down on the floor. Its pills were gone too.
"Where did all the good stuff I brought back go?"
Ji Feng looked at the Dragon Core floating overhead and found that her radiance had drawn inward as she spun round and round.
Behind her, phantom images of various medicinal ingredients appeared in a ceaseless cycle.
She had swallowed all the pills and medicinal ingredients into her body and was refining something.
Just as she had once devoured the blood-drinking scimitar and those white bones.
Anger filled Ji Feng's chest. He took out a clothes hanger, left Room One, and repeatedly struck the Dragon Corpse's backside.
"Aaah! Brother, what are you doing? Why are you hitting me? It hurts!"
"You smashed everything I worked so hard to bring back! Don't you deserve a beating?"
The Dragon Corpse sounded bewildered. "I put all those things in Room One. I didn't smash anything. They were all fine."
"You put them there, and the Dragon Core ate them all. Now there's nothing left."
"Huh? Brother, you..." The Dragon Corpse stammered before continuing, "You can't blame me, Brother. If you're going to blame anyone, blame that slut Long Ying. That slut was too greedy and made you angry. Brother, don't get mad. Please don't~"
"Enough. Stop making noise."
Ji Feng suddenly snapped. He glanced at Xiang Li's corpse. "You're full now, aren't you?"
The Dragon Corpse hurriedly answered, "Brother, I'm full. Thank you for feeding me."
"If you're full, clean up what's left and take the corpses to the Dragon Core."
The Dragon Corpse snorted and cursed, "You rotten brother! Do you like that little slut Long Ying so much?"
Ji Feng sneered. "Unlike you, she doesn't yell all day long. She just quietly does her own work."
A puff of white vapor shot from the Dragon Corpse's nostrils as she muttered, "You like quiet! Fine, I won't talk! I won't speak to you for the rest of my life! Bastard!"
Ji Feng left the Undead Demiplane, departed the Xiang Family Pill Shop, and hurried through the streets of Shrek City.
The white bones inside the Xiang Family Pill Shop were still rampaging, relentlessly hunting down the remaining Soul Masters.
Everyone nearby had fled outside, afraid the white bones would catch them up in the carnage.
In truth, there was no need to fear. Ji Feng had already placed limits on Bone Spirit. Her ocean of white bones would only rampage and kill within the Xiang Family Pill Shop, leaving the surrounding area untouched.
Ji Feng wasn't walking so quickly to avoid the Xiang Family. He still had urgent business to attend to.
He opened the address Ning Yu had left him and set off to find that so-called Soul Land.
Ji Feng really wanted to see just what that Soul Land was like.
