The Gift of a Child

"Old Mule, haven't seen you in over a thousand years, gotten cocky?" Looking at the Old Devil grabbing at him, Lu Qing'an stood still, his expression extremely calm, and his voice was not loud, giving the impression that he was having a normal chat with a friend.

Just a moment ago, Luo Zhi Zhi's eyes were bloodshot, burning with anger at being disturbed. But the next moment, when he clearly heard Lu Qing'an address him and recognized that familiar voice, it was as if some memories in his mind had been awakened, and his eyes instantly became clear and bright.

Swish!

He had already arrived at lightning speed, and upon realizing what was happening, he gritted his teeth, swooped down, and executed an extremely stylish gliding maneuver.

He slid down to his knees in front of Lu Qing'an!

"You... how did you get here...?"

When Luo Zhi slid up to Lu Qing'an, his face had miraculously changed to a fawning smile, and he even hurriedly used his sleeve to wipe Lu Qing'an's shoes.

"My place is quite dirty, look, my shoes are even a bit filthy..."

Lu Qing'an gently kicked Luo Zhi and said, "Nothing's changed. Get up, I need to talk to you."

"Okay! Go ahead and say it! I'm listening!"

Luo Zhi's smile remained, but in reality, he was already on the verge of tears.

Why is it this jinx!

Ahhh!!!

My demonic body that I cultivated!

Having already encountered problems in his cultivation, and now being interrupted at a crucial moment, the probability of succeeding in cultivation is even lower!!

This was an opportunity he had obtained after spending a fortune and expending a great deal of precious medicine!

But he dared not place any blame on Lu Qing'an.

I had no choice but to swallow my pride and bear it.

On the other side, Li Qingchen and the Heaven-Devouring Devil Beast, seeing this, finally felt their hearts sink.

Li Qingchen took a deep breath, pulled out a pink handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

I am so surprised!!!

Fortunately, Old Deng reacted quickly; otherwise, not only would his master be dead, but he and the entire sect might also suffer!

The Heaven-Devouring Devil Beast also closed its eyes and took two deep breaths.

The dog was terrified!!

If its owner dies, it might die too!

Lu Qing'an had already scanned the secret realm with his Divine Sense, but he did not find Dao of Alchemy Master's figure. However, the formation showed that Dao of Alchemy Master's aura still lingered here.

"Dao of Alchemy Master was here not long ago? Do you know exactly where he was?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhi blinked and replied, "So you've come to find him! He left this place just a day before I went into seclusion. I'm not entirely sure where he went, but I suspect he's probably heading to the Devil Beast Forest!"

"Oh? Are you sure? What's he going over there for?" Lu Qing'an asked.

Luo Zhi replied, "That old fellow seems to have been collecting some special medicinal herbs lately, to refine some kind of pill! I have the herbs he needs, and I also have a pill that he needs to refine, so we made a deal. After he finished refining the pill, he left."

"Didn't he tell you anything else? Like, what exactly is the purpose of the pills he's going to refine?"

A red light flashed in Lu Qing'an's eyes as he carefully scanned Luo Zhi, roughly figuring out what kind of pill Luo Zhi had taken and what he intended to do.

Cultivate a powerful physique, the Heavenly Devil Physique.

With the cultivation of the Peak Great Emperor Realm cultivator and the possession of Heavenly Devil Physique, one can be among the top experts in the Demon Domain, and may even rank quite high.

"Ahem, after some prompting from me, he mysteriously told me that if he could refine this kind of pill, he might be able to become as powerful as you!"

Luo Zhi secretly sent a telepathic message to Lu Qing'an.

"Of course, I think he was joking with me. Who could become as powerful as you... cough cough, as strong as you!"

Lu Qing'an smiled.

Such a pill exists?

Are you sure he really went to the Devil Beast Forest?

"I'm not sure..."

"Okay, if he's not over there, I'll come back and chat with you."

"No! I said I wasn't sure!!"

With two loud thuds, Luo Zhi knelt down again.

Their will to survive was at its peak.

"I was just kidding, don't be so nervous."

"Phew! You still have such a perverse sense of humor, you scared the old man to death."

Luo Zhi stood up again and patted his frightened chest.

"Okay, I'm going to find him now. I'll come back to catch up with you another time."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhi inwardly scoffed.

You'd better not!

I never want to see you again in my life!

However, just as he finished thinking that, he suddenly saw Lu Qing'an stop in his tracks and turn to look at him.

No! You can hear what I'm thinking?!

Seeing Lu Qing'an looking at him, and his gaze gradually turning cold, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Etc!

What do you want to do!

I only thought it to myself; it's not that I really don't want to see you again in this lifetime!

His eyes widened, and the next moment, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended upon him.

Boom!!!

Under the sudden, terrifying pressure from the pillar of pressure falling from the sky, Luo Zhi was forced to the ground.

"No! I... Pfft!!!"

Luo Zhi's muscles ripped open, blood gushing from his mouth, and he was utterly powerless to resist.

A Peak Great Emperor Realm expert was crushed like an ant!

Li Qingchen and the Heaven-Devouring Devil Beast stared wide-eyed at the sight.

At that moment, his head was buzzing incessantly, and an extremely strong will to survive, along with incredibly intense conflicting thoughts, flashed through his mind.

Do you need help?

The Heaven-Devouring Devil Beast and Li Qingchen exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, and quickly made a decision.

Prepare for a desperate fight!

I can't just watch the person I care about most die in front of me!

Rush!!!

The Heaven-Devouring Devil Beast was the fastest, its gaping maw blazing as it hurtled toward Lu Qing'an.

But at that moment, Lu Qing'an suddenly stopped.

"This is a reward for you, you're welcome."

As soon as Lu Qing'an finished speaking, Li Qingchen and the Heaven-Devouring Devil Beast, who were about to make a move, quickly stopped.

Because Li Qingchen was not as strong Heaven-Devouring Devil Beast, he had just prepared to make a move when he saw Lu Qing'an stop. So he hadn't made any move yet, and his senses were all focused on Luo Zhi, who was lying in a large crater.

Thank goodness! Old Deng seems to still be breathing!

His feelings were extremely complicated.

After being made to look like this, you still talk about a reward!

Is this Eternal Night Demon Emperor really so capricious?!

As for the Heaven-Devouring Devil Beast, it fared rather poorly.

It was already very close to Lu Qing'an at this moment. With a sudden stop, it came to a stop right next to Lu Qing'an, its gaping maw only half a step away from Lu Qing'an's face.

"Oh? What do you want to do?" Lu Qing'an looked at the Heaven-Devouring Devil Beast and asked calmly.

"I..."

Sweat poured down the face of the Heaven-Devouring Devil Beast Dog. Then, steeling its resolve, a ball of light emerged from its large tongue as it wriggled in its wide-open mouth.

Inside the sphere of light sat a small, adorable, somewhat dim-witted Little Bai dog with wide, clear eyes.

This Little Bai puppy looks like it was just born, still a tiny puppy, with a light and shadow mark on its forehead, shaped like a lightning bolt.

"Hiccup~"

The puppy let out a burp.

"I felt an instant connection with you, so I'd like to give you a child..."

The Heaven-Devouring Devil Beast felt like crying.

"Oh? This little thing seems to have a purer bloodline than you."

Lu Qing'an knew what the Heaven-Devouring Devil Beast was planning, but looking at the little dog in front of him, he became interested.

His youngest daughter loves cute things and is still young with few friends. Having this dog as a companion might make her childhood happier.

And if you raise this puppy well, it can protect her daughter in the future.

"Okay, I'll accept it."

Upon hearing this, the Heaven-Devouring Devil Beast blinked its large eyes twice.

I'm so reluctant to leave!

It wasn't until it heard Li Qingchen's telepathic message saying that the child following the Eternal Night Demon Emperor was practically like taking off directly, that it felt a little better.

Lu Qing'an put the puppy into his treasure space, glanced at Luo Zhi, and said, "Alright, I'm leaving. You can come to Demon Descent City to have tea with me sometime."

Having said that, Lu Qing'an shattered the void and vanished in the blink of an eye.

"Master!"

Li Qingchen quickly approached to check on Luo Zhi's situation.

In the pit, Luo Zhi, his skin torn and mangled, was barely clinging to life.

His lips moved as if he was about to say something, but suddenly, he noticed a terrifying Demonic Qi erupting from his master.

A special energy also surged from his body, swirling around him.

His body floated up, and under the nourishment of Demonic Qi and that special energy, his broken body visibly recovered.

Boom!

A terrifying aura erupted from him, shaking the surrounding void, bursting apart inch by inch like a blooming flower, extending for more than a mile.

Luo Zhi suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with golden light, staring intently at his own hands.

"This, this is..."

The Heavenly Devil Physique is complete!!

Li Qingchen and the Heaven-Devouring Devil Beast were also dumbfounded when they saw this.

Is this really a reward?!
