"Ah."
"Is this... the pleasure of the essence returning to the body?"
After enjoying it with eyes closed the entire time.
Bai Feng only felt refreshed and even burped contentedly, feeling like he wanted more.
The next moment, he seemed to realize something and immediately sat cross-legged in meditation, closing his eyes to look inside.
Inside the Dantian, waves of strong, full vortices endlessly poured into the limbs and bones, forming indescribable cycles of heaven!
It was unclear how much time passed.
"Whew, it's out..."
"Feels so comfortable~"
Bai Feng exhaled a long white breath, slowly opening his eyes.
He found himself wrapped in a purple demonic radiance, with black hair floating in the air, and an exotic glint in his eyes, resembling an unmatched heavenly demon.
At this moment, he could clearly sense it.
The frail sensation that lingered since his transmigration had now completely transformed, heralding a new life.
At this moment, each meridian and every cell the blood flowed through was rejoicing!
With the demon blood boiling.
He clenched his fists tightly!
Bang! Hiss!
With his pale, thick arms, veins bulged like earthworms, and a demonic power surged from within, roaring into the void, creating explosive energy sounds, "bang bang bang."
It's no exaggeration to say.
That with a mere grip, it feels as though holding a force of ten thousand tons!
"Ah, this... is this the feeling of the power of the boss?"
"To know, this is just the Foundation Establishment Stage, the young, undeveloped version of the Qingling Demon Sovereign!"
"If I can cultivate back to the Divinity Transformation Stage with this new body, never mind killing Mu Xinlan, even if those Empresses and Goddesses from the second expansion come together, what could they do to me?"
Bai Feng's heart surged with emotions, and his eyes were fervent.
At this moment, he suddenly somewhat understood Bail Qingling.
What fame, glory, and love interests, they're just passing clouds!
The most genuine pleasure in this world is the solid strengthening of one's body!
"No."
"The path of cultivation in this life has just begun, and danger still lurks everywhere, I can't get too carried away."
"There are seven days left before Xiao Chen enters the Blood Kitchen."
"Since I've now restored my life energy, the restrictions of the Blood Kitchen can withstand anyone in the Cangming Sect, except for the three Hall Masters and twelve Supreme Elders."
"Hence, I have two choices now."
"First, using the cultivation experience from my past life, and utilizing the resources inside the Blood Kitchen, break through to the Core Formation Stage within seven days, then let Xiao Chen in and crush this ant in advance to avoid future risks."
"Since his current power is only at the early Core Formation Stage, it shouldn't be hard."
"Second, is to shut myself away, ignore any matters, and focus on cultivation inside the Blood Kitchen. My remaining influence is still there, and my sworn enemies within the sect dare not act rashly."
"So, which step should be taken next?"
Bai Feng held his forehead with a hand, feeling a slight dilemma.
To know, during his gaming days in a past life, he could restart countless times after failures, and even if he exhausted all his revive points, he could turn into a Crown VIP through the special pay-to-win system of the 'Pig Goose Studio', slashing through difficulties with one strike of 9999 damage.
And now, as the game turns into reality.
Being a boss who has reached a dead end, every wrong decision could end his fate.
"Oh well, thinking too much is useless."
"What's most important now, is to first reach the Core Formation Stage, awaken some spells and divine skills to secure myself, then find a chance to retrieve the Five Elements Organs buried under the sect's demonic veins and replace each current artificial organ, forging the body to the strongest state."
"And before that..."
"Eh? How to use that Points? Let's take a look first!"
Bai Feng was about to summon the system.
Outside the Blood Kitchen, a familiar girl's voice came through the transmission: "Master, Xing'er has completed your task! In addition... Xing'er also has something to give to Master!"
"Hmm?"
"What could that girl give me? This wasn't in the game!"
Bai Feng was slightly caught off guard, thought for a second, then said plainly:
"Alright, come in."
....
....
In the hall on the first floor of the Blood Kitchen.
Bai Feng sat on the throne with an indifferent face, looking at the girl kneeling below.
As per usual, she had removed her outer garments and covering scarf, revealing a snow-white neck never shown to others.
However, this time.
As Bai Feng watched the girl's fragile and pitiable demeanor throughout, he found himself devoid of any previous resistance and instead felt some inexplicable excitement!
So much wanting to grab her ponytail and fiercely...
"Hey! You're only acting as Bail Qingling! Don't truly become a pervert."
Admonishing himself a moment.
Bai Feng asked in a cold and ghostly voice:
"Xing'er, did you complete the task I gave you?"
"Reporting to Master, Xing'er has followed Master's orders and informed that vile thief Xiao Chen of the false news about Master taking a poison pill!"
Cen Xing'er responded obediently.
"Hmm, did Xiao Chen become suspicious?"
Bai Feng squinted his eyes and asked again.
"No."
Cen Xing'er shook her head, "That Xiao Chen was overjoyed upon hearing it and then immediately returned to the Yin Gui Palace."
She tried to describe it concisely, afraid of accidentally exposing her second senior sister.
"That's good."
Bai Feng nodded in satisfaction, then asked: "Did Xiao Chen say anything else?"
Cen Xing'er thought and replied honestly: "Reporting to Master, Xiao Chen told Xing'er that if Master took that poison pill, seven days later, when the toxin peaks, even a Daluo Golden Immortal wouldn't escape death, therefore..."
"He wanted the disciple to enter the Blood Kitchen first in seven days to check on Master's... remains... and then blame it on that Dao Sect Mysterious lady Mu Xinlan!"
As she recounted this matter, tears welled up in the girl's eyes, and her slender, fair arms laying on the ground couldn't stop trembling.
Just a little...
Just a little more!
She nearly believed the lies of that villain Xiao Chen and mistakenly killed her Master!
On the other side.
On the throne, Bai Feng silently listened, thoughts fluctuating.
Actually, he had considered before.
Whether he should just let Cen Xing'er tell Dantai Lingyin and Xiao Chen about discovering the poison pill.
But upon careful thought.
If that happened, the two of them could definitely deduce that being beaten by Mu Xinlan and losing all mana was indeed true!
After all, in Qingling Demon Sovereign's way, how could he let a girl who attempted to harm him leave the Blood Kitchen alive?
Of course.
The assumption that this plan wouldn't collapse is that Cen Xing'er truly was reformed by him.
But in this regard, Bai Feng was still confident.
Eyes don't lie.
"Ah hahaha...."
Suddenly, a bright, cheerful laugh came from the throne.
"Master... why do you laugh?"
Cen Xing'er slightly lifted her head, cat-like eyes cautiously glancing at the revered demonic figure above.
"I laugh at Xiao Chen and his backers, arrogant, conceited, and foolish beyond measure!"
"Do they really think that a mere ninth-grade poison pill can make me vanish without a trace?"
"Mu Xinlan gravely injuring me, such an absurd rumor intentionally spread by those hypocrites of the Righteous Path, and there are people in the Demon Path who believe it? It's truly laughable!"
Having said that, he looked at the girl below, coldly saying:
"Xing'er, you didn't believe Xiao Chen's words and thought that I had lost all my mana, right?"
"I..."
Cen Xing'er bit her lip.
Under the immensely pressuring gaze, ultimately she lowered her head and whispered like a mosquito, "Xing'er never really thought this through..."
Indeed, she hadn't thought it through.
She didn't dare before.
And now simply doesn't even want to think about it!
She only knows one thing!
If anyone dared to harm her Master even a little, she would risk her life to pursue them to the ends of the earth!
"But... according to Master's character, at the moment he knew I intended harm, he would have executed me..."
"And now he forgives me, doesn't this just show..."
"Master has always infinitely cared and loved foolish, indiscriminate Xing'er!"
In an instant, Cen Xing'er finally came to realize something!
Her affectionate apricot eyes closed with pain as crystalline tears rolled down from her long, curved lashes!
"Master! Xing'er has something to offer to you!"
The girl cried out.
"Hmm?"
Bai Feng's heart moved, he said indifferently: "What is it?"
