NOVEL NEXT Chapter 38 – Going berserk
Time flew by, and half a month had passed.
During this period, Cui Qing'er brought him many female cultivators, but they were all at the Qi Refining stage.
His strength had significantly increased compared to half a month ago, but there was still a long way to go before reaching the mid-Foundation Establishment stage!
Lin Hao took out the Sect Leader's notes on talismans, his fingers twirling with a small flame, like a lively butterfly, as he flipped through the pages.
Books are always fresh when read often, let alone the Sect Leader's insights on talismans, which benefited him greatly.
He was always curious; these notes should be considered treasures, so why hadn't they been exchanged?
But it was just curiosity; he couldn't go to the elder guarding the pavilion for answers, fearing he might end up hanging from the old locust tree.
After going through the notes once, Lin Hao felt inspired and was about to draw a talisman to verify his insights when Han Liyue interrupted him.
"There's a demon that needs to be confined on your floor."
Lin Hao nodded calmly and then followed Han Liyue outside the tower to meet with the disciples responsible for escorting the demon.
Han Liyue was wearing a green dress today, and whether it was the dress being form-fitting or her figure being too enchanting, the dress seemed to fit her perfectly, as if it were grown on her.
Despite her age, this woman seemed as tender as if she could be pinched to produce water.
Lin Hao quickened his pace, glanced at the woman, and noticed a green leaf mark on her smooth forehead, adding a touch of purity.
A faint fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose, making Lin Hao somewhat restless. He sighed inwardly, thinking it might be better to seal off his sense of smell.
Otherwise, if he did something inappropriate, it wouldn't be good!
When they reached outside the tower, the disciples escorting the demon came up to pay their respects.
Of course, the respects were for Han Liyue.
With nothing else to do, Lin Hao examined the demon. Was this a crane demon?
He was somewhat unsure, mainly because the feathers of this demon bird had been plucked clean, making it look like a featherless chicken, just with a long neck and long legs!
However, from the conversation between the escort and Han Liyue, he learned that this was indeed a crane demon, and it had quite a high cultivation, having reached the late second stage.
It was captured by a Foundation Establishment sword cultivator from the inner sect, who, annoyed by the trouble it caused, plucked all its feathers.
"This demon bird..." Han Liyue frowned slightly and asked, "Is it male or female?"
The demon escort, seeing the Elder of Demon Confinement showing interest, explained, "Elder Han, this is a female demon, very fierce!"
Screech!
The crane demon let out a sharp cry, its whole body only able to move its head, but that didn't stop it from trying to peck at Lin Hao with its beak.
Lin Hao deftly dodged, a cluster of flames rising in his palm.
"If you get any fiercer, I'll roast you."
Seeing the flames in his palm growing larger, the crane demon shrank its neck in fear, not daring to cause any more trouble.
"Then Elder Han, I'll take my leave."
The demon escort didn't recognize Lin Hao, only surprised by his methods, but didn't pay much attention and left on a flying sword.
"Lin Hao, I have some matters to attend to outside. You take this demon away and decide which cell to place it in."
The woman transformed into a stream of light and left, leaving behind a lingering fragrance.
Lin Hao escorted the crane demon deeper inside, found a cell close to the little fox, and locked the crane demon inside.
Then he headed straight to the little fox's cell.
This time, it wasn't to tease the little fox but because Elder Han was absent, and he was worried these demons might have ideas.
If any demon escaped, as the guard, he would inevitably be held accountable.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided to meditate and cultivate inside the prison.
The little fox, seeing the human come again, was about to mock him, but then saw him sit cross-legged and remain seated for two days.
Boom!
Lin Hao felt a tendency for the evil fire within him to riot and was about to stop cultivating when he found the fire spiritual energy inside him was out of his control.
The surging spiritual energy, like a raging flood dragon, rushed through his meridians, the tearing pain causing him to clench his teeth,
his forehead covered in sweat.
His once smooth face twisted in agony.
It was as if he was about to go berserk; he urgently needed a woman's Primordial Yin to suppress the fire within him, or he would explode and die!
"Woman..." he muttered, stumbling toward the outside of the prison.
The little fox transformed into human form, watching the staggering human, puzzled.
What is this stinky guy up to? Did he have a mishap in his cultivation?
Hmph, what does his cultivation mishap have to do with me!
The little fox thought this, but her sapphire-like eyes never left Lin Hao.
Woman...
Lin Hao's eyes were bloodshot, his whole state like a drunken man, stumbling.
A spider demon, seeing something wrong with him, tried to take advantage of the chaos, transforming back to its original form and extending a spider leg to stab at him.
However, Lin Hao raised his hand, and with a single sword stroke, severed all the spider demon's legs, green liquid flowing all over the ground.
The crane demon beside was already dumbfounded.
She was a late second-stage demon and could see that Lin Hao was only at the early Foundation Establishment stage; how could his moves have such power?
She couldn't even see the human's sword moves clearly, but seeing his abnormal state, she didn't dare provoke him, only shrinking back into a corner.
Woman?
A trace of confusion flashed in the crane demon's eyes. What was this human repeatedly shouting "woman" for?
An old wolf demon, with hair and beard all white, observed Lin Hao carefully, and suddenly his green eyes filled with astonishment.
"Could... could this human have that kind of physique, with an extremely fast cultivation speed, but needing a woman's Primordial Yin to assist, or else he would explode and die!"
"Needs a woman's Primordial Yin?"
The crane demon's eyes spun rapidly. Having just been locked up here, she was eager to escape, and she saw this as an opportunity.
So she called out urgently, "I'm female... female."
Woman... female...
Lin Hao's eyes were bleeding, and he could no longer see, yet he instinctively found his way back to the depths of the prison.
...
Hearing footsteps approaching from not far away, the little fox, gently stroking her hair, felt surprised.
Why is that stinky human coming back?
And standing in front of my room, what does he intend to do?
Looking at the handsome face covered in blood, the little fox's eyes were full of confusion.
Suddenly.
Two slender fingers pierced through the protective array of the prison, then pinched the divine iron-made cell door, spinning it like a piece of paper and flinging the thousand-pound door away.
