Chapter 263: Tongzi, You’re Not Done Yet, Are You?
Pei An mulled over the sword formation he’d just imagined. After a brief struggle, he shook his head and declared, “Forget it, your stuff is way too terrifying.”
【Ding, detected that the host used the Extermination Sword Array to scare the chickens and k*ll the monkey—oh wait, I mean the Black Lotus Fairy—shocked Pei An enough to hurt his fighting spirit. Reward: Luck Points +233, All Attributes +23.】
Bai Feng: “…”
Cracking his knuckles, nobody called you a mute, so shut up!
With the Black Lotus Fairy dead, the monsters outside the camp lost their commander. They immediately went into chaos—no more rushing the camp in a straight line. Even the monsters far outside stopped their charge.
But their Demon Energy still simmered in their eyes, glowing red and brimming with aggression.
“Looks like Senior Brother Bai and the others took down that big fox!”
“No wonder I suddenly feel much lighter; the monsters in the distance aren’t coming anymore.”
“We should step up our game too!”
Meanwhile, in the Spirit Sealing Sect’s team, Yu Ping An stared at the camp, disbelief plastered all over his face.
What kind of formation was that?
Ever since he’d convinced himself he lost to Bai Feng, he’d been training hard and studying formations. He thought he’d made great progress. Not to surpass Bai Feng—no, that was impossible—but at least not be left behind.
But now? It seemed they were worlds apart.
“Hmph…” He shook his head with a sigh. His previous arrogance was glaringly misplaced. Who did he think he was, competing with this monster?
【Ding, detected that the host used scare tactics on two monkeys. The effects of the Extermination Sword Array are still ongoing, and your image in Yu Ping An’s mind has become increasingly terrifying, deeply shattering his confidence. Reward: Luck Points +256, All Attributes +25.】
Bai Feng: “…”
What the hell? Is this system just screwing with me?
Is someone trying to cheat me?
…
Thanks to the efforts of various sects and sacred grounds’ disciples, all the severely corrupted monsters with magic energy were swiftly taken care of.
Even Li Zhi Yi was tasked with experimenting on a few less severely corrupted Golden Core monsters—by now, she’d become quite the magic energy expert. She developed more effective pills, and the monsters previously possessed by demonic qi managed to purge it and survived.
“Is this rabbit… okay?” Bai Feng reached out and grabbed the rabbit’s neck, lifting it up.
The rabbit didn’t resist but looked at him pleadingly. “Please… just one more bite. Whatever I can do, I’ll do it!”
“…” Bai Feng was speechless. The rabbit he’d saved from Li Zhi Yi was actually fighting other monsters for food—made from spiritual beast meat, no less.
It was absurd. He was feeding Little Snow in the yard when some monsters caught wind of the scent and showed up. They didn’t rush him but just pitifully watched from the wall.
It was hilarious to see these monsters crammed on the wall looking so pathetic. Bai Feng tossed some food to them, even though he’d already allocated proper portions. They still fought over a bite.
A passing rabbit thought it was a snack and joined in, successfully snatching three pieces of cat food.
Then came… the rabbit ate the cat food, thought it was tasty, and suddenly realized—wait, this isn’t normal. It turned out to be spiritual beast meat. The rabbit started panicking about its rabbit life and went full shut-in mode.
He even apologized to Sister Li. Had it ended there, it’d be a funny oopsie. But three days later, the rabbit, hiding inside, had a revelation. That’s how today’s disaster unfolded.
“Your food’s over there. This is some spiritual herb I got from Sister Li. Go ahead and eat,” Bai Feng said.
But the rabbit shook its head and struggled. “I don’t want it! I don’t want to eat that stuff!”
“But… you’re a rabbit, aren’t you? You can’t eat spiritual beast meat,” Bai Feng reminded.
“I’m already at Golden Core stage! Don’t judge me by normal rules! I think I can eat spiritual beast meat!”
Bai Feng, hearing the rabbit’s relentless meat obsession, didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Let Sister Li worry about it.
He casually dropped the rabbit on the ground and addressed the monsters gathering before him: “Alright, everyone, disperse.”
The monsters obediently didn’t cling and soon drifted away reluctantly.
From those days, they learned Bai Feng’s personality—he liked to eat soft rather than hard. If they behaved nicely, listened to him, sometimes they got treats. But if they kept pestering, they’d get tied to a tree, watching him eat while he ignored them.
Far off, Li Zhi Yi, watching the scene, felt an inexplicable discomfort—like watching her own kids run off to play, only to be scooped up and taken away. Or maybe she was just jealous.
She couldn’t help muttering, “Even though I saved them and fed them best stuff, why are they so close to Senior Brother Bai? And I can’t even talk as smoothly as him…”
“Senior Sister Li.” Bai Feng waved to her after noticing her.
“Ah… um…” Li Zhi Yi’s face blushed slightly. Did her dark little plans escape Bai Feng’s eyes?
“Got time?” Bai Feng grinned and approached.
Li Zhi Yi hesitated, then hurriedly nodded. “Yes, I have time!”
What’s this about? Is Bai Feng after her spiritual pets too? Well, considering her cooking was terrible and her talent unremarkable—she wasn’t as cheerful and energetic as Bai Feng. She often hid in dark rooms, avoiding others, and even struggled to apologize to him properly.
“Actually, I want to make a deal with you,” Bai Feng said seriously.
‘Here it comes! Just as I thought!’
Li Zhi Yi’s heart sank a little, but she forced herself to ask, “Um… please take good care of them. They’re a bit mischievous, but they’re quite good overall.”
“What thing?” Bai Feng looked a bit confused, then quickly corrected himself, “No, no—about the magic energy. I want to understand magic energy and your methods for healing it. If you’re willing to tell me, feel free to ask. I’ll do what I can.”
He hadn’t forgotten about the Black Lotus Fairy after resolving the incident; her use of magic energy was quite different from the outside magic energy. Maybe it was related to the closure of the Immortal Realm.
And since Li Zhi Yi had some research results, Bai Feng was eager to get a copy. Even if she didn’t speak of the Immortal Realm, there was a ticking bomb in Golden Lion City!
