Destroying a Star with a Flick of a Finger

After sending his messages to everyone else, Lu Qing'an still had one more thing to do. After putting away the fire-attribute Divine Crystal, he turned around and took out the man-eating flower that he had sealed away.

Upon seeing the carnivorous flower sealed off by a black square barrier up close, both Xiao Qingyi and Xue Tianfei quickly frowned.

This is someone who can even easily kill Peak Great Emperor Realm expert!

However, at this moment, the man-eating flower had completely quieted down, and even trembled when it saw Lu Qing'an.

The signs of fear were extremely obvious.

For safety's sake, Lu Qing'an placed the man-eating flower next to the Demon God Mother Tree.

Since that soul awakened, Lu Qing'an has also kept his promise and released some intelligence to the Demon God Mother Tree.

"Keep a close watch on it here. If it shows any sign of escaping, suppress it first, then tell me," Lu Qing'an said.

The Demon God Mother Tree replied, "Yes, Master."

Lu Qing'an then added a barrier to the man-eating flower and began his operation.

He initially intended to kill the man-eating plant, but seeing its extreme fear and intense dread of death, he decisively changed his mind.

Let's see if we can use this carnivorous plant to improve my little darling's appearance!

He infused a special technique into the barrier, and then set up a small array outside the barrier to activate that technique.

By inputting some Demonic Qi into the formation, the two formations can quickly press down on the man-eating flower. If the pressure is sufficient, the double barrier can even flatten the man-eating flower.

Let's perform a physical ritual to help them pass on to the afterlife.

After getting it set up, Lu Qing'an even tried it out himself.

As he channeled Demonic Qi into the formation, the more Demonic Qi he poured in, the faster the barrier compressed.

The carnivorous plants inside let out a sharp roar as the barrier pressed down upon them.

The voice contained a hint of pleading, but Lu Qing'an ignored it. He knew very well how many human cultivators this man-eating flower had slaughtered; it was no good thing.

Once released, they'll immediately try to escape, sometimes even killing someone before fleeing.

As the barrier compressed, the man-eating flower sensed the impending life-or-death crisis, and its cries became even sharper and more piercing.

The speed at which his body trembled also increased.

It's terrifying to look at.

"Great. We're just waiting for Miaomiao to come back."

From now on, this will be my youngest daughter's "self-service restaurant".

Simply by channeling Demonic Qi into that formation, the man-eating flower can generate a great deal of fear.

Upon seeing this, both Xiao Qingyi and Xue Tianfei swallowed hard.

They naturally guessed what Lu Qing'an wanted to do, but they didn't expect him to come up with such a method!

They have already begun to mourn for this carnivorous plant.

As time passed, at a certain moment, the teleportation array in the outer courtyard flashed, and the children returned.

Lu Miaomiao was the first to run into the courtyard, followed closely by Lu Zixuan and Sun Minzi.

"Daddy! Miaomiao is back!" Lu Miaomiao transformed into a gust of black wind and came. When she approached the pond and saw that there was another special thing in the yard, she stopped and tilted her head to stare at the man-eating flower in front of her.

"Daddy, what is this? It's so ugly! But it's covered in black mist!"

Lu Qing'an laughed and said, "This mist is edible."

"Can I eat it? Okay!" Lu Miaomiao smiled, stepped forward, and slurped up all the black mist rising from the barrier.

"Wow, so many! Daddy, I feel like my strength has increased a lot!"

After taking just one bite, Lu Miaomiao discovered that her strength had increased by over a thousand pounds.

"Miaomiao, you can make black mist to eat whenever you have time." Lu Qing'an stepped forward to teach his daughter how to make black mist, and then channeled Demonic Qi into the formation again.

The barrier compressed further.

The man-eating flower, which had suddenly lost its fear, trembled again as the barrier pressed down upon it.

"Wow! Daddy! It's producing lots of black mist again!" Lu Miaomiao exclaimed in surprise.

"Haha, just eat it."

Okay!

In this way, Lu Qing'an demonstrated it to his daughter several times and let her try it herself a few times.

He nodded in satisfaction after confirming that his daughter had learned it.

"Operate like this from now on. Don't crush it directly. After scaring it, stop inputting Demonic Qi immediately," Lu Qing'an instructed.

Lu Miaomiao nodded repeatedly, then said with a strange expression, "But, Father, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

She glanced at the carnivorous plant.

It seems a little pitiful for this man-eating flower.

"It ate a lot of people, and they were all tortured and killed," Lu Qing'an said calmly.

"Oh, that's wonderful!" Upon hearing this, Lu Miaomiao's big eyes narrowed instantly, and she stepped forward to perform a few more operations.

Man-eating flower. "..."

At this moment, Lu Qing'an thought of an even more brilliant idea.

We'll have to wait until Xu Yunyi comes back to discuss this.

"Minzi, come here. I recently passed by a place and discovered another Divergent Flame, the Earth Soul Flame."

Lu Qing'an beckoned Sun Minzi to his side and handed Sun Minzi the sealed Earth Soul Flame.

"Father! This Earth Soul Flame feels much stronger than the Golden Crow Flame! I... I'm afraid it will be very difficult to refine the contract..." Sun Minzi swallowed, a little nervous.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing'an reached into the barrier and flicked his finger.

In an instant, half of the flame went out.

"Okay, it's not that strong anymore."

Sun Minzi blinked.

Good heavens!

She stared at her father's pointing finger; it seemed so casual, yet somehow it felt like it could shatter a star if it were right next to him!

"Okay! Thank you, Father!!"

Sun Minzi bowed again with utmost seriousness.

"Why can't you understand, child..." Lu Qing'an reached out and gently flicked Sun Minzi's forehead.

When Sun Minzi saw Lu Qing'an snap his fingers, she was almost scared out of her wits and quickly closed her eyes.

But after a short while, she felt a stinging pain, and then it was gone.

"If you bow to your father like that again, I'll flick you again," Lu Qing'an threatened with a smile.

Sun Minzi blinked her beautiful eyes, her cheeks flushed slightly, then she smiled wryly and nodded, "Okay."

"Zixuan, continue helping Minzi with the contract."

"Hehe! I will obey Father's command!" Lu Zixuan performed a deep bow, just like Sun Minzi.

"Oh dear! Zixuan, you're teasing me!"

"Haha, serves you right for always bowing like that! I'll give you one too! Minzi!!"

"Damn it! Don't go! I'm going to tickle you!"

The two children started chasing and playing.

Lu Qing'an shook his head and smiled.

Seeing his two daughters so happy, he felt joyful too.

This is how children should be.

Just then...

Xu Yunyi also returned to the courtyard via teleportation.

"Brother-in-law, what's wrong? Why did you tell me to come back so quickly?"

"You've come at the right time, come here for a second." Lu Qing'an beckoned to Xu Yunyi.
