#139 - Let my sister be your concubine? Damn it! You are looking for death!
“Ling Xiao.”
“Hmm?”
“Who do you think will win this round?”
The third round of the battle had already begun.
Including Ling Yunzi, all six great demons had entered the secret realm arena.
And the eliminated great demons no longer needed to use divine sense to transmit their voices.
They openly discussed who would win this round.
If Marquis Bishui wasn't sitting above, they would probably have already opened a betting pool and started placing bets.
Xu Chengxian listened for a while and casually asked Ling Xiao.
“Yu Feilong, Liu Ze, Jin Hong.” Ling Xiao almost immediately gave out three names.
“Why are you so sure?” Xu Chengxian asked, puzzled.
Although these three were the strongest in terms of cultivation and strength among the remaining opponents,
it was, after all, a battle, and a battle between those of the same rank.
During the battle, any carelessness could change the outcome.
So, it was very difficult to predict who would win or lose.
“Intuition.” Ling Xiao didn't explain much.
He just paused and added, “This isn't a life-and-death struggle.”
Not a life-and-death struggle?
“Hmm, that's true.” Xu Chengxian smacked his lips and nodded.
Because it wasn't a fight to the death, the variables weren't so great.
All the great demons would act relatively within their capabilities.
‘Capability’ meant strength, combat power, magic power, and cultivation.
Some methods that would only be used in a desperate fight wouldn't appear in this battle.
The unexpected factors that could lead to an uncertain outcome were therefore greatly reduced.
Then, of course, the great demons with stronger cultivation and strength would be more likely to reach the end.
But he still didn't quite understand: “Besides Yu Feilong, the others are all in the later stages of the Great Demon realm. How can you be sure that Liu Ze and Jin Hong are stronger in cultivation and strength?”
“I'm not sure.” Ling Xiao crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes. “But Ling Yunzi told me that they took the Spirit Return Pill.”
“Spirit Return Pill?”
Xu Chengxian knew about the Spirit Return Pill.
Of course, he had only known about it recently.
When Ling Xiao was planning to deplete the great demons' magic power, he had raised a question.
If the depleted magic power could be replenished in time, wouldn't this trick be useless?
Although he believed that his younger sister, the Empress, wouldn't overlook this obvious flaw, he still bravely brought it up.
The answer he received was that it did exist.
Refining spiritual energy takes time.
However, there were indeed ways to restore magic power in a short period of time.
For the demon race, there were only three types.
The first was to extract a large amount from the demon core.
This was undoubtedly equivalent to destroying one's own foundation.
After refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into demon power, it would first fill the meridians and acupoints throughout the body, and only the excess would be stored in the demon core.
Because the demon power stored in the demon core could only be accumulated little by little and could not be taken out all at once.
That is to say, during battle, if needed, demon power could be extracted from the demon core to mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to use combat skills, divine powers, or spells.
But extracting too much in a short period of time would risk shattering the core.
Ling Xiao's plan was based on this foundation.
The remaining two types were taking elixirs and refining natural treasures.
However, the effect was the worst.
The last type was spiritual pills that could quickly restore cultivation.
After taking them, refining both the medicinal power and spiritual energy within the pills could restore 80% of the magic power in a very short time.
Among them, the most common type of pill was the Spirit Return Pill.
According to Ling Yunzi, the value of the Spirit Return Pill in the eyes of cultivators with cultivation above the Great Demon realm was equivalent to the status of the Transformation Pill among demon beasts.
One Spirit Return Pill could sell for three middle-grade spirit stones.
Because the Spirit Return Pill was also applicable to human cultivators.
It was a spiritual pill that one would definitely refine some of and keep by their side in case of emergency if they obtained Flood Dragon essence blood.
“They actually ate the Spirit Return Pill, they're really rich.” Xu Chengxian exclaimed.
They're all big spenders!
He didn't doubt Ling Yunzi's judgment in the slightest.
For alchemists, their sense of the aura of spiritual pills was incomparable to ordinary people.
If they said they sensed the medicinal aura, then it was definitely not wrong.
“Did Yu Feilong also eat it?” He suddenly thought that he should care about this point.
“Yes.” Ling Xiao also gave a definite answer.
“...Tsk.”
“Don't worry, at most one Spirit Return Pill can be taken within a day.” Ling Xiao said.
Taking too many pills would make the pill toxins difficult to dissolve.
For these great demons with great prospects, they wouldn't do such a losing business.
And the magic power restored by one Spirit Return Pill, Ling Yunzi could definitely wear it down completely.
“Yunzi, add oil!” Xu Chengxian said.
Then he coiled up and prepared to add oil to himself as well.
[Blood Qi +1+1 + 1+1...]
[Blood Qi +1+1 + 1+1 + 1...]
...
“Is there something wrong with this flower snake?” The Black Flood Dragon stared at Xu Chengxian in front of him and suddenly transmitted his voice to Hong Lie.
“...Heh.” Hong Lie glanced at him. How should he put it? He felt that the one with something wrong might be this black snake.
“What, you don't think so?” The Black Flood Dragon probably really didn't know how to read people's faces, and he was still looking at the coiled-up flower snake and asking.
“...I just don't know what you're referring to?”
“This guy is always sleeping.”
“...” Hong Lie was really about to lose it.
What are you staring at people for?
You even care if they're sleeping?
What's wrong with you!
“Brother Black Flood Dragon, why not guess who this flower snake will face in the next round?” Hong Lie paused and said, “That way, we'll know how to say things that will make him vent your anger for you.”
If you keep staring like this, you won't get any results.
The key is that you still have to talk to him!
But the words you say make him speechless!
Is this a new way to torture demons?
If he didn't feel that the Black Flood Dragon didn't have that kind of brain, Hong Lie would have suspected it.
“What's there to think about?” The Black Flood Dragon didn't care. “Just say it.”
“...Sometimes, people might not believe the truth.” Hong Lie held back and reminded him.
“Oh, then what do you think I should do?”
“...The flower snake's next opponent will most likely be Yu Feilong.” Hong Lie didn't want to get involved, so he refused to say it clearly.
“Him?” The Black Flood Dragon instantly turned his head, his brows furrowed, and he coldly snorted, “Hmph!”
“The other great demons are fine. If it's really this guy, I won't say a single word to him!”
“...Do you have a feud with him?”
“No.” The Black Flood Dragon shook his head.
“Then what is it?”
“I just don't like him!”
“...”
...
Fourth match.
Xu Chengxian's opponent happened to be Yu Feilong.
The expression on the Black Flood Dragon's face was truly wonderful.
It made Hong Lie unable to stop laughing.
Xu Chengxian heard the laughter and looked back, quite strangely.
Taking in the expressions of the two demons, he thought, what's going on?
But he didn't have time to think much and entered the door.
He entered the secret realm arena.
“That flower snake!”
Yu Feilong stood proudly in the air.
Looking down at Xu Chengxian, he sized him up.
His brows furrowed, and he pointed at him, saying, “Let me ask you, is that green snake, Bai Lingxiao, your younger sister?”
“Yeah, that's right.” Xu Chengxian was puzzled.
This guy didn't make a move when he got to the arena, what was he asking this for?
If she's not my younger sister, could she be your younger sister?
“I intend to take her as a concubine, what do you think?”
“...” (⊙_⊙)?
“Why don't you speak?” Yu Feilong raised his long eyebrows. “Do you agree or not?”
“I! Agree to your grandpa!”
凸(艹皿艹)!
Let my sister be a concubine? Holy crap! You're courting death!
