NOVEL NEXT Chapter 248: 148. Purpose and Layout
Life is a dream, filled with sorrow and joy.
Under the influence of the Illusory Mirror and Xu Yuan's innate dual cultivation holy body's fluid, the previously domineering Leopard Woman's face had turned crimson, and she collapsed on the spot.
Xue Lin watched this scene, feeling inexplicably apprehensive, worried that she might end up like that too, while her cheeks also flushed slightly.
After all, the liquid that had just been ingested had been extracted from her body.
"Do you like me?"
Xu Yuan looked at the confused and bewildered Leopard Woman and asked softly.
"You?... I!"
The Leopard Woman's breathing was rapid, her eyes hazy.
Under Xu Yuan's control of the Illusory Mirror, her mind had become quite muddled.
In the Illusory Realm, she saw him suddenly kill Xue Lin and then heal her arms.
In an instant, her thoughts became chaotic under the influence of the fluid.
"I... like."
Moments later, amidst the numerous illusions before her eyes, she finally succumbed.
"Then, tell me, why did your Thunder Leopard Clan suddenly join forces with the Wind Tiger Clan to strike at the Snow Wolf Clan?"
Xu Yuan, though not particularly skilled in interrogation techniques, was confident in his ability to cloud the minds of others to pry secrets from them,
"It's because..."
The Leopard Woman's pupils turned heart-shaped, her expression blank, drool continuously dripping from her mouth.
"We discovered a treasure site that contains a Spirit Fruit capable of strengthening the flesh bodies of Nascent Soul demons. If lucky, it can even help a half-step Nascent Soul demon achieve a breakthrough, but the Spirit Fruit is not yet mature. It requires the blood of a clan as a blood sacrifice to expedite its growth, so we teamed up with the Wind Tiger Clan. We helped them annihilate the Snow Wolf Clan, and in return, they were to help us use the bloodline of the Snow Wolf Clan to accelerate the growth of the Spiritual Medicine."
Her eyes nearly lost their luster, and the ground where she sat had turned into a puddle formed from the saliva dripping from her mouth.
"..."
Xu Yuan did not expect the reason given to be so simplistic.
He glanced at Xue Lin, noticing her head was lowered, her nails nearly digging into her palms, silent.
"Just that?"
"Yes."
The Leopard Woman nodded, "The reason I hesitated earlier was because I was afraid you, my lord, might be interested in that Spirit Fruit, but now, if you wish, I can pick it for you."
Xu Yuan was non-committal and just asked again, "Do you know where this place is located within the demon territories? How do you get to the Peach Source Divine Tree from here?"
"The Peach Source Divine Tree? I do not know where it is."
The Leopard Woman shook her head, her gaze dull.
Xu Yuan wasn't too disappointed, but he asked again for the number of Core Formation and Nascent Soul demons within the two clans before looking towards Xue Lin, asking, "What do you want to do with her?"
"Of course, kill her!"
Xue Lin's eyes displayed a crazy murderous intent, and as she revealed her intent to kill, the temperature around them abruptly dropped.
Then, she pounced, piercing the other's throat with her sharp canine teeth.
Xu Yuan watched the scene silently, meanwhile gaining a new understanding of his own physique.
Compared to other cultivators of the same realm, demons might have stronger physical bodies, but their souls were relatively weaker.
And that, in turn, provided him with an opportunity.
"Perhaps, I can use my body fluid as a magical treasure."
Xu Yuan stroked his chin, lost in thought.
The Innate Dual Cultivation Holy Body, only those who truly unlock it understand how incredible it is.
Just like the legendary Goddess Furnace in the game that was specifically used to refine goddesses, although it is unknown which sect holds it now, its emergence would undoubtedly bring disaster to the entire world. Find your next read on My Virtual Library Empire
Meanwhile, after tearing apart the Leopard Woman's body and venting her feelings, Xue Lin seemed much calmer.
She stood there, breathing heavily, her eyes fierce.
"Mom and dad, rest assured, this is just the first one; I will make them all pay alongside you."
With that said, she extracted a sparkling inner core from the Leopard Woman's abdomen and handed it to Xu Yuan.
"Here."
"This must be the demon core of the demon race."
Xu Yuan's expression turned stern as he took the core, regarded as the essence of the demon race's entire body, and examined it for a moment before handing it back to Xue Lin.
"I don't need it, you can use it."
"Huh?"
Xue Lin's face showed surprise, then confusion.
"Why?"
"Our unicorn clan values righteousness and purity, and it's against our clan rules to enhance our cultivation by consuming demon cores."
Xu Yuan shook his head as he spoke.
In fact, it was because the mana of the human race and the demonic power of the demon core repelled each other. If one wished to consume this demon core, specific techniques were required to refine it.
But Xu Yuan did not know those techniques, so he had not ingested it.
"I see."
Xue Lin looked at the demon core in her hand for a while before reluctantly handing it back.
"Here, since it's like that, I don't need it either."
"Why?"
Xu Yuan looked at her with a somewhat puzzled gaze.
"Well... We are already in that kind of relationship, and I guess I am now considered part of the unicorn clan, so..."
Xue Lin blushed, head down, incessantly drawing circles on the ground with her foot, while her tail spun continuously like a dog's.
