Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 442 Whose acting skills are more exquisite?
The atmosphere in the peach grove was strangely odd.

Chen Xu held the insoles in his hand, saying he wanted to try them on on the spot.

From Chen Ping's perspective, this should have been a good thing.

Chen Ping's first reaction was also one of delight: "That's great, Second Brother, you should try it!"

He urged him enthusiastically, but after saying it, he felt a little ashamed.

Without realizing it, Chen Ping murmured something.

But he couldn't say anything more. He could only watch with anticipation and trepidation as Chen Xu bent down to take off his shoes and stuff the insoles into them.

Then, he actually put on the shoes with the new insoles!
As Chen Xu put on his shoes, the two little demons on the peach tree branches behind him held their breath.

Ashi and Wei Yuan were both a little nervous, especially Ashi, who almost rushed out to shout, "You can't wear this!"

These are insoles given by a fairy, how can I try them on so easily?

Ashi didn't believe that the insole hadn't been tampered with by the spirit Mengniang.

But Chen Xu was not a reckless or careless person; he must have had his reasons for acting this way.

Afraid of ruining his plans, Ashi suppressed his worries, but couldn't help squeezing closer to Wei Yuan, not stopping until the hedgehog had tightly retracted all its quills.

Chen Xu put on his shoes and tried walking.

He strolled closer to Chen Ping, a smile on his face, and said, "Brother, what do you think of these insoles?"

Chen Ping said blankly, "Okay, it should be very good..."

He was going to say, "It should be very good."

But before he could utter the last word, a burst of black energy suddenly rose from beneath Chen Xu's feet.

The black aura arrived so suddenly and swiftly that Chen Ping was completely stunned when he first saw it, his mind unable to process it at all.

A flash of light appeared before his eyes, and Chen Ping felt his body lighten as he was lifted up by an arm and flung backward.

He flew through the air and couldn't help but shout, "Ah—"

Just as he was about to fall directly to the ground from the air, Chen Ping disregarded his fear and simply turned his head to look at Chen Xu.

He finally realized what had just happened and remembered the scene that had just unfolded before his eyes.

Suddenly, black energy rose from beneath Chen Xu's feet. The black energy was like a dragon or snake, like a chain, and it fiercely and swiftly rose from below, binding his entire body!

boom!
Chen Ping was flung into a peach tree, the branches swaying wildly, causing his body to bounce up and down.

He hurriedly grabbed onto a peach branch and turned his head in alarm to look.

But Chen Xu was completely bound by black energy, the headband that held his hair back fell off, and his long black hair was scattered in the air.

Just a few steps away from Chen Xu, Meng Niang's eyes gleamed, her pupils were blood red, and drool dripped from the corner of her mouth...

Chen Ping was completely dumbfounded. Both Chen Xu's current situation and Meng Niang's appearance were beyond his comprehension.

Although he lacked experience, he was not a fool.

Although her heart was churning with disbelief, she couldn't help but cry out, "Second brother... Mengniang! You, you... Second brother, be careful!"

Suddenly, behind Mengniang, as if dragons were dancing in the earth, countless strange things resembling vines and branches emerged from the ground.

The tumbling vines made a sharp, whistling sound as they stabbed towards Chen Xu with ferocious, unrestrained force.

This scene, like something out of a ghost story, suddenly unfolded in reality.

Chen Ping didn't really want to believe that Meng Niang had any problems, but Meng Niang was actually attacking Chen Xu?

A feeling of the sky collapsing and the earth sinking resounded in Chen Ping's mind.

Unbeknownst to Chen Ping, Mengniang also felt as if the sky had fallen. This was not part of her plan—

Yes, Chen Xu put the insoles she gave him into his shoes, and then the evil energy and curse hidden in the insoles suddenly erupted...

This process was not actually part of Mengniang's plan.

While she may not have had good intentions in giving Chen Xu the insoles, Jing Mei is cunning by nature and would never so easily and bluntly reveal her malice.

According to Mengniang's original plan, she was to first consummate her relationship with Chen Ping and take his virginity, and then use this opportunity to secretly seize the Chen family's fortune without leaving a trace.

Then, when Chen Xu returned, she gave him the insoles.

The malevolent energy and curse contained within these insoles will not erupt instantly.

This malevolent energy is like a slow-acting poison, gradually eroding Chen Xu's essence and vitality over time.

Only when an unhealable wound is carved into his body will the spirit truly seize his cultivation, fortune, and merit!

This will inevitably be a long process, requiring careful planning and persistent effort.

However, engaging Chen Xu in direct combat would be the worst possible strategy.

The returns are low and the risks are high.

Being cunning by nature, this last resort was ruled out by her.

Unfortunately, plans can't keep up with changes.

Mengniang never expected that Chen Xu, who should have been thousands of miles away and whose whereabouts were hard to find, would suddenly return to Xiaowan Village in the middle of the night.

Why did he come back?
How did he suddenly come back?
What did he know?
No... all the questions before me are actually unimportant at this moment.

Because after Chen Xu stepped on those insoles, for some reason, the intense malevolent energy hidden within them was unleashed.

When the malevolent energy burst forth like poisoned arrows and chains, binding Chen Xu, and after sensing the abundant vitality and merit within him, the predatory spirit, whose nature was inherently cunning, could no longer restrain itself.

Mengniang's eyes immediately turned bloodshot and her ears rang.

All the greed, obsession, and cruelty suppressed beneath the beautiful exterior... all surged forth like a flood bursting its banks.

Eat him, eat him, eat him, eat the person in front of you!
Beneath her skin, every inch of her spiritual bloodline was screaming wildly, urging Mengniang to rush towards Chen Xu.

The battle then broke out.

But Mengniang dared to swear on her own Dharma name that at that moment, none of the vines and branches that rushed out from behind her were actually under her control!

She doesn't know any of these kinds of spells at all.

The strengths of spirits are threefold: first, to create a beautiful appearance to deceive people; second, to absorb vital energy and transform it into power; and third, to manipulate fortune and curses, and to play with yin energy and evil energy.

As for the Five Elements magic, Mengniang is actually not good at any of them.

When it comes to direct combat, she is even more adept at hand-to-hand fighting.

Mengniang didn't know where the rampant vines behind her came from; she only knew that all the vines were rushing towards Chen Xu, so she flashed forward and rushed towards Chen Xu like lightning.

Perhaps there are also hidden third parties spying on her, wanting to steal the fruits of her victory.

Mengniang had no choice but to be faster than her opponent.

She was indeed very fast, as fast as lightning streaking across the night sky, or like a shooting star falling to earth.

She left a long trail of afterimages as she approached, and she herself was already in front of Chen Xu, her five claws outstretched, her sharp nails gleaming with a foot-long cold light, as she grabbed at Chen Xu's heart.

"Mengniang! Stop!" Chen Ping, who had hurriedly climbed up from the peach tree behind him, let out a roar that seemed to shake the heavens and the earth.

At that moment, Chen Ping's world collapsed.
