Demon core

Moreover, it's a good thing that she's so afraid of her junior sister.

Qiaoqiao did not take the demon core, but said, "I didn't say I wanted this."

Bing Yan was overjoyed. This—if she didn't want the demon core, didn't that mean the demon core could still be hers?

"Then... what do you want?"

"I want them all!" Qiaoqiao answered loudly.

Bing Yan's vision went black!

Although she was in the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion Mystery Pavilion's Punishment Hall, thanks to Nangong's connections, no one made things difficult for her. She had several storage rings on her person, containing mountains of Spirit Stone and Law Treasure she had painstakingly collected over the years—all the fruits of her labor! If Qiaoqiao wanted these, wouldn't that be taking her life?

"Huh, Elder Bing doesn't want to?" Qiaoqiao asked, glancing up behind Bing Yan.

Bing Yan felt that chill run down his spine again. "Give it to me! I'll give it to you!"

She took out two storage rings and, with trembling hands, erased her own spiritual imprint from them. Just as everyone's attention was focused on Elder Bing, a dark figure quietly slipped out from beside Wen Zhi.

The dark shadow coiled into the shape of an arrow and rushed towards the demon core hanging beside Bing Yan with lightning speed!

Wen Zhi was suddenly startled. "Oh no!"

Liu Xiu actually escaped from the seal of the storage ring!

He wanted to devour that demon core. Once he obtained it, his power would greatly increase, he could avenge his previous humiliation, and kill all his enemies present!

From the moment the golden toad died and its demon core appeared, Liu Xiu had been searching for an opportunity to strike. He had been flying incredibly fast, but he hadn't expected someone to be even faster than him!

That slender, white hand grabbed the demon core, Qiaoqiao cried out, "Fourth Senior Brother!"

"Huh?" Fu Fengyuan reacted completely subconsciously. The moment he opened his mouth to answer, he felt something cold fall between his lips and tongue.

The substance melted instantly upon entering his mouth, rapidly merging into his limbs and bones, stirring up a massive wave in his Dantian. The power of the Radiant Dragon within his bloodline was once again activated, and a golden dragon phantom rose into the air.

The raging waves rolled wildly, and the dragon ascended to the nine heavens!

Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back. Liu Xiu had no time to stop and crashed headlong into it!

"Aaaaaah!"

Liu Xiu: Damn!

Chapter 52 Demon Core

At this moment, Liu Xiu felt nothing but regret, deep regret.

If he had another chance, he would never rush in to his death. He never imagined that Qiaoqiao was so cunning. She was clearly bluffing Bing Yan, but her attention never left that demon core.

Who would have thought she would move so quickly!

When she snatched the demon core, Liu Xiu's heart had already turned cold. When Fu Fengyuan swallowed the demon core, his heart, which had been hanging in Fu Fengyuan, finally died. The power of the Radiant Dragon illuminated the valley where the golden toad had fallen, and the dragon's shadow ascended into the sky. Liu Xiu also ascended into the sky with it.

His paper-thin body unfurled high in the air, rustling in the wind. He saw forests, birds, blue sky and white clouds, and dense crowds of people.

Because the golden toad rolled down from the mountaintop and landed in this valley, the onlookers, who were originally scattered on various mountaintops, rushed over just in time to witness Liu Xiu being tossed into the sky by the dragon's aura.

In an instant, many heads popped out, like mushrooms sprouting after the rain, and countless gazes focused on that thin piece of paper.

"Puff."

"Hahaha."

"What is that thing?!"

Laughter echoed across the mountaintop. Liu Xiu, dizzy and disoriented, hung from a tree branch. Protector Cheng, the Commandant Feng, and several other elders descended from the valley floor. The Commandant Feng stroked his chin, examining the paper. "Is there something drawn on this paper?"

He was already so unlucky, who would have thought that these guys would be the first to find him!

I heard that rumors have been spreading everywhere lately, and these people have been hiding like turtles, not daring to leave their cave abode. They didn't even show up for the sect competition. How come they've come so quickly now!

Being watched so closely by these people made him want to disappear into the ground.

And what exactly is the pattern on his body?!

Dead memories suddenly began to attack him. That day, Qiaoqiao drew on him all day long. In the end Wen Zhi commented that it was a "Spring Night Cupping" picture, but he knew that it was definitely not cupping!

Given Qiaoqiao's malicious intent, she might even have drawn the events of that night between him and Bing Yan on his body!

Liu Xiu felt a chill run down his spine. He scratched his head, desperately wanting to know what Qiaoqiao had drawn on him!

He struggled to turn his paper-thin body over, trying to avoid the scorching gaze that seemed to be attached to him, but it was all in vain; all he could do was make a rustling sound.

While he was fooling around, the group had already approached him.

Elder Lin pondered, "It seems to be... a turtle."

"Hmm." Both the Commandant Feng and Protector Cheng nodded. "It's just a multicolored turtle."

Liu Xiu froze.

Wen Zhi said something about "cupping," so how could it be -- a turtle?!

"Puff."

Elder Lin couldn't help but chuckle, "Why does this turtle have so many jars on its body?"

Liu Xiu:?

Protector Cheng couldn't help but laugh, "Is this a turtle that can't roll over, getting cupping done?"

Liu Xiu shuddered; so cupping was what was waiting for him!

Qiaoqiao!!

She actually drew a turtle getting cupping done on his body?

What a humiliation!!!

"Upon closer inspection, it looks like a Devil Race."

"What kind of Devil Race looks so strange?" Protector Cheng pondered. "It looks like a very weak Devil Race."
