Hogwarts: I'm the only cultivator here!

Although Dumbledore couldn't find the source of the terrifying sound last night, this only proved that his guess was correct.

The reason is simple: throughout the entire school, only Ye Feng's room is inaccessible to the professors at night, and they are unwilling to go in to check it out.

As for other places, Dumbledore believed that even Voldemort would not be able to hide from his investigation, so Dumbledore concluded that the terrifying screams that terrified many Gryffindor students last night were definitely made by Ye Feng.

However, judging from Ye Feng's previous expression, he probably didn't realize what he had done, which is why he was so certain that last night's events had nothing to do with him.

Of course, besides experienced professors like Dumbledore and Grindelwald who probably guessed it, Hermione and the others also guessed it, but not based on their experience or understanding of Ye Feng.

The reason they could guess that last night's events were related to Ye Feng was simple: they knew that Ye Feng had a Voldemort in his possession, and he had wanted to study Voldemort closely for a long time.

Therefore, combined with these conditions and what happened last night, the situation becomes very clear: the terrifying screams last night were made by Voldemort.

The truth has already come out, but the amazing thing is that the people involved don't know what happened. They are still asking around with curiosity to find out what happened, and they are even discussing with Harry and the others whether they should go 'ghost hunting' that night.

This scene forced Hermione and the others to lower their heads and bury themselves in their breakfast, otherwise they were worried they would burst out laughing.

So that night, Ye Feng, along with Harry, Ron, and...Lucius, who had prepared all sorts of ghost-catching equipment, arrived at the Gryffindor common room and hid behind the sofa in the common room, using concealment charms.

About half an hour later...

"Hey, do you guys really think ghosts exist?"

"Shh~ Don't talk, what if you scare the 'ghost' away?"

"But we've been in this position for almost half an hour. Can we change positions? It's tiring to be crouched like this."

"Okay, it's really tiring to keep hunched over like this." With a low voice, Ye Feng took out a small stool and sat down, only peeking out half of his head to carefully observe the common room.

...

Soon, an hour passed. By this time, not only Harry and his friends, but even Ye Feng's patience was almost exhausted. Just as they were about to leave, a wail filled with madness and anger reached their ears.

Ye Feng: (???)

"There really are 'ghosts'!"

Chapter 293 Transformation into Demon

An angry and frantic voice came from outside, which made Ye Feng's eyes light up instantly. He took out a small net bag, crouched down, and went outside, while Harry and Ron followed in fear.

As for Lucius, he didn't feel anything special, just found it amusing.

After the four of them left the Gryffindor common room, the sound became clearer, but when they followed the sound, they found no one or any so-called 'ghost' at all.

"How could this be? I clearly followed the sound here, but there's nothing here!"

Yes, what puzzled Ye Feng was that when they followed the sound, they found nothing at all, which left Ye Feng quite confused.

However, after his initial doubts, he immediately became excited, because this meant that there was a good chance he would actually make a profit tonight.

Ye Feng was excited, but Harry and Ron were even more frightened. Even Lucius's expression became much more serious, because he also couldn't find anything.

Besides, after following the sound to the outside corridor, they found nothing, and even the sound disappeared.

Although the sound stopped, Ye Feng did not intend to give up, so they found a relatively secluded place to hide and wait.

A few minutes later, the sound came again, but this time it was softer and fainter, probably coming from a great distance.

"Be careful, everyone. I think that thing has very keen hearing, so this time we need to be fully prepared before we go there."

As he spoke, Ye Feng began taking out talismans, and while sticking one on himself, he also stuck one on Harry and the other two.

A minute or two later, Ye Feng and his group completely disappeared. At this point, even if Dumbledore came and used all sorts of talismans and magic, he would definitely not be able to find them.

After confirming that there were no oversights this time, Ye Feng led Harry and the others back to the direction from which the sound came.

This time, they learned from their previous experience. Even though they used invisibility talismans, they still carefully made their way forward using various objects for cover.

Because they moved relatively slowly this time, it took them ten minutes to get close to the source of the sound. When they saw the target of the sound, they were stunned.

The sound didn't come from any kind of terrifying ghost or phantom, but rather... an owl, though that owl looked slightly different.

The owl was larger than a normal owl, but that wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that it had three golden feathers on its head, like a crown.

"This is... a mutation? But I've never heard of an owl being able to mimic human speech." Although a little puzzled, Ye Feng still picked up the net and tiptoed toward the owl's location.

Although the reason is unknown, a mutated owl is still worth studying.

With this in mind, Ye Feng grabbed the net and walked towards the owl, and then... he missed.

When he was still nearly two meters away from the owl, the owl seemed to sense the danger, stopped mimicking human shouts, spread its wings, and took flight.

Seeing this, Ye Feng didn't hesitate; he waved the net in his hand and jumped over.

However, something happened that shocked Ye Feng.

After he covered the owl's head with his net, the three golden feathers on the owl's head flashed, and the owl disappeared instantly, reappearing more than ten meters away.

Upon seeing this, a glint flashed in Ye Feng's eyes, and he appeared thoughtful, but he said nothing.

This sudden turn of events completely stunned Harry and his friends, because in their memory, Ye Feng had never failed before. So when Ye Feng failed to catch the owl this time, they were extremely shocked.

"How is this possible? Ye Feng actually failed to catch that owl!"

"This can't be... really..."

Upon hearing this, Ron trembled instantly, grabbing Harry's hands and his face showing terror. Harry, affected by Ron, also trembled and then couldn't help but swallow hard.

"It shouldn't be... right?" As he spoke, Harry took a few steps forward and ran to Ye Feng's side, because he only felt safe when he was by Ye Feng's side.

"Hey, Ye Feng, what's up with that owl just now? Why couldn't you catch it with your little net?"

Ron's words brought Ye Feng back to his senses. He put away the small net in his hand and said nonchalantly, "Oh, that owl must have been fed a lot of pills and that's why it turned into a demon."

"Demonization? What does that mean?"

Upon hearing this new term, Harry and his friends were filled with questions.

Seeing the puzzled expressions on the faces of the two, or rather, the three, Ye Feng explained, "In our China, we collectively refer to creatures such as animals and plants that, after undergoing some special process, develop sentience and acquire some special 'magic power' that allows them to continuously cultivate and evolve, as demons."

"That owl must have consumed a lot of elixirs, which caused some kind of change. It is transforming into a demon and has already shown some things that only demons possess, such as the ability it used to escape from my little net just now."

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Harry and Ron nodded blankly, indicating that they understood, while Lucius looked thoughtful.

Even now, Lucius hasn't given up on his idea of ​​winning over Ye Feng. He has seriously studied Chinese history and culture, so he has some understanding of the demons in Chinese mythology.

He had always thought it was just a religious legend, or that some magical creatures had been mythologized after being seen by Muggles, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

But now it seems there's more to the story, and if it really is as those myths and legends say, then that owl must have been incredibly valuable.

"Perhaps I can take this owl back with me. That way, even if I haven't completed the task Voldemort assigned me, it will be enough to get by."

While Lucius was deep in thought, Ye Feng glanced at him and said, "Let's go back. Since it's just an owl, we can just talk to Headmaster Dumbledore about it tomorrow."

"Sigh, I thought I could catch something interesting, but it's just the first owl that's transforming into a demon. How boring."

Perhaps in other people's eyes, an owl that has transformed into a demon should be very precious, but in Ye Feng's eyes, it's just so-so, because this owl that is currently transforming into a demon is not even one percent as good as Little Grey.

It was precisely because of this that Ye Feng developed deep doubts about certain things.

He suspected that the dogs in the village were putting on an act, because the cats and dogs in the village had eaten plenty of the pills he had refined, but apart from their intelligence increasing dramatically, they didn't seem to have changed in terms of strength or anything else.

Admittedly, the medicinal ingredients he used to refine pills were not as good as those he used after coming to Hogwarts, but they were only slightly inferior. However, the quantity was by no means small, and he often poured them out in large quantities, even serving them bowl after bowl.

"So, those bastards were really acting, right?"

Chapter 294 Ye Feng: Putting a Little Pressure on Old Fu of This World

"So, those bastards were really acting, right?"

While Ye Feng was gritting his teeth, on a vacant lot in a small village on the other side of the world...

"Haqiu~"

"Hey, Big Yellow, it's almost autumn, have you prepared your doghouse yet?"

"It's still early, and my Erhua doesn't really like straw. She's got her eye on some fancy stuff for pet dogs. I'll go check it out in a few days."

"Do you have the money? That's a foreign item, and it's not cheap."

"Who do you think you're underestimating? It's just money. You can just borrow some from those foreigners loitering on the street."

"That seems to be true; they're all quite wealthy."

...

As it turned out, Ye Feng did have some sense, but not much, because those dogs he had raised from puppies... were acting much more sophisticatedly than he had imagined. And this was perhaps why he hadn't been able to find any cultivators or unusual creatures nearby.

Of course, Ye Feng was unaware of this, as he was currently idly returning to his dormitory with Harry and the others.

On the way back, Lucius didn't forget to chat with Ye Feng and build a relationship, since he favored Ye Feng more than Voldemort. In fact, if Ye Feng were willing, Lucius would do everything in his power to push him onto the throne of the new Dark Lord, even if Ye Feng didn't need it.

Besides that, Lucius also inquired a lot about Ye Feng's affairs during this period, of course, only about some daily trivial matters, and casually mentioned Nymphadora during their chats, asking why Ye Feng didn't write to her, saying that Nymphadora missed him, and so on.

Ye Feng had almost forgotten about the beautiful young lady with a great figure who could 'change her face', but Lucius's mention of her reminded him of her, and he also remembered that the magical transformation of his firearms was not yet fully completed.

"It seems I need to take some time to further improve it, otherwise it would be too unfair if they continued to fight me with heavy machine guns when I piloted the mecha and controlled the monsters."

"How about we open-source the magic mech?" Ye Feng suddenly felt a little excited when he thought of this, but then he felt a little discouraged when he thought about the materials needed to make the magic mech.

Admittedly, the creation of the magic mech does not require any precious materials except for a few key parts, but its size is indeed a bit too big.

Therefore, even though the majority of the materials used to manufacture this mech were steel that could be made from ordinary iron ore, it was still beyond the reach of an average Hogwarts student.

More importantly, the mecha is too big. Even if he opens up the various magic arrays and magic flow patterns of the mecha, and even if the students of Hogwarts know a lot of magic, it is not so simple to create it.

"Forget it, let's postpone this for now. Let's wait until Old Voldemort has thoroughly verified the feasibility of the magic cultivation method, fully implemented the method, and included the Encyclopedia of Magic in the compulsory courses at Hogwarts before we do this."

As he thought to himself, Ye Feng realized that they had returned to the door of Lucius's residence, so he nodded to Lucius as a farewell.

The moment Lucius opened the door, a loosely tied small bag silently slipped past his gaze and flew into his room.

Although Ye Feng's movements were rather discreet, he did not avoid Ron and Harry at all, so both of them saw Ye Feng's actions, which shocked them greatly.

However, they had been with Ye Feng for three or four years, so although they were shocked and puzzled as to why Ye Feng would do this, they remained calm and composed, as if nothing had happened. Even Lucius did not notice anything unusual.

"I regret that I was unable to bring you any gains tonight, gentlemen. I will go back and rest now."

"By the way, Hogwarts can be a bit dangerous at night, so gentlemen, please don't wander around later. I trust you won't, right?"

After saying this, Lucius nodded, then turned around, pushed open the door, and went into the room. As soon as the door closed, Harry and Ron each grabbed one of Ye Feng's arms and quickly left.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? I'm warning you, don't think you can mess around just because we know each other. I'm straight, and I only like pretty girls!"
