Many children, many blessings: Stealing the offspring of powerful figures to cultivate immortality.

Jiang Yeyao is struggling with a weed.

As the daughter of the Demon Lord, her life motto is simple: cut down what you don't like, and eat what you do like.

But this weed was extremely resilient and wouldn't break no matter how much she cut it, which made her very irritable.

Just then, a strange fragrance wafted into her nose.

It wasn't the aroma of ordinary food, nor the cold, icy taste of spirit stones.

It was an extremely pure, high-level energy fluctuation that seemed to contain the mysteries of the starry sky.

For Jiang Yeyao, who possesses the "Chaotic Demon Body" and can devour everything and transform it into her own power, this smell is just like freshly cooked braised pork.

She suddenly raised her head.

Those heterochromatic eyes, one red and one black, were fixed on the strange uncle who had suddenly appeared in the flower bushes.

To be precise, it was the glowing stick in his hand that was targeted.

"Gulp."

Jiang Yeyao swallowed hard, and the large knife in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.

Seeing this, Xingjue felt even more smug.

As expected of a country bumpkin from the lower realm, even a single, low-grade Star Essence Crystal was enough to make this little devil flee in disarray.

"Want some?"

Xingjue shook the crystal rod in his hand, as if he were teasing a puppy.

"If you're a good boy and come with me, I'll take you to a great place where there are mountains of these candies, and..."

"Give me."

Jiang Yeyao interrupted his long speech.

She stumbled and staggered toward Xingjue with her short legs.

Because he ran so fast, the two little tufts on his head trembled, making him look especially adorable.

"Good girl."

Xingjue narrowed his eyes.

So what if it's a Chaos Demon Body? Before it fully matures, it's nothing more than a gluttonous fool.

He reached out, ready to activate "Space Cage" the moment Jiang Yeyao got the crystal rod, and instantly pack the two children away.

However, when Jiang Yeyao ran to within three feet of him, she suddenly stopped.

She tilted her head, and the innocent look that had been in her heterochromatic eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a scrutinizing gaze that made Xingjue's heart pound inexplicably.

It's like a top predator assessing the quality of its prey's meat.

"On your body..."

Jiang Yeyao sniffed and frowned.

"It smells so good."

Xingjue was taken aback: "Of course it smells good, it's..."

"It's not candy."

Jiang Yeyao pointed her chubby little finger at Xing Jue, then at his silver armor, and finally at the blue crystal between his eyebrows.

"It's you."

"You look tastier than sugar."

Xingjue's smile froze.

What does that mean?

Before he could react, Jiang Yeyao's small mouth suddenly opened, revealing two rows of small, white teeth that hadn't fully grown in yet but were gleaming.

"Awoo—"

The little girl didn't reach for the crystal rod. Instead, she lunged at Xing Jue's outstretched hand with a terrifying speed completely out of character for her age!

……

Meanwhile, inside the main hall.

Situ Kong, who was checking the formation, suddenly stood up, the compass needle in his hand spinning wildly, and finally exploded into powder with a "pop".

"not good!"

Situ Kong's expression changed drastically: "Someone has bypassed our defensive formation!"

"Where?!"

Jiang Yining crushed the teacup in her hand instantly.

"The back garden!" Situ Kong roared, "It's right there where Sanbao and Wubao are!"

……

back yard.

Xing Jue was, after all, a powerful expert at the Spirit Awakening Realm. The moment Jiang Yeyao pounced on him, his fighting instincts made him subconsciously want to withdraw his hand.

But he underestimated the little devil's determination.

They also underestimated the "Chaotic Demon Body's" thirst for high-level energy.

That wasn't an ordinary bite.

The moment Jiang Yeyao opened her mouth, a black vortex formed inside.

That was the rudimentary form of the laws of chaos, carrying an extremely domineering suction force that forcefully held Xing Jue's palm in place!

"hiss--!"

Xingjue gasped, feeling as if his hand had entered a bottomless black hole.

Instead of the expected pain, there was a more terrifying feeling—the passing of time.

The spiritual power, essence, and even the very source within his body were surging wildly into that tiny mouth through his palm!

"Get out of here!"

Xingjue was shocked and abruptly shook off his hand.

But the little girl seemed to be attached to his hand; her cheeks were bulging, and her heterochromatic eyes shone with excitement.

In just a moment, Xingjue felt that he had almost lost sensation in half of his hand, and his skin quickly withered away.

"You...you brat!"

Xingjue was both shocked and furious.

He, a dignified border patrol envoy, was actually sucked like a snack by a mere infant from the lower realm?!

"court death!"

Xingjue completely lost his mind.

He completely forgot about things like wanting the animals alive and getting a good price.

He swung his left hand sharply, and a dazzling streak of starlight, carrying a world-destroying force, crashed down on Jiang Yeyao!

That was the power of laws belonging to the middle world, which was something that cultivators from the lower realms simply could not withstand.

At this critical moment.

The five-treasure ginger candy lying in the cradle seemed to be frightened by the piercing roar and terrifying murderous aura.

The little guy was playing with butterflies, but then his little mouth twitched, and his golden vertical pupils instantly filled with tears.

"Wow--!!!"

This cry, with its penetrating power that struck straight to the soul, instantly spread throughout the entire desolate abyss!

The Qingqiu Grand Elder, who was sweeping the floor, had his broom broken in two.

Hu Bugui, who was carrying bricks, saw the bricks beneath his feet turn to dust.

Ye Wuhen, who was changing clothes, hadn't even fastened his belt properly when he crashed through the roof and shot into the sky.

"Who?!"

"Which bastard dares to make the young prince cry?!"

"I'm going to kill his whole family!!!"

Before Xingjue's streak of starlight could even fall, it was forced to stop in mid-air.

Because he sensed a murderous aura.

It's neither one nor two.

Instead, it was hundreds and thousands of murderous auras surging in like a tsunami!

"boom--!"

The ground of the desolate abyss trembled violently.

The twenty-odd Qingqiu fox clan members who were honestly doing hard labor at the foot of the city wall have now all revealed their true forms.

More than twenty enormous phantom foxes soared into the sky, blotting out the sun.

The leading elder had bloodshot eyes, and his seven tails danced wildly behind him, unleashing the full power of a peak-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Dare to touch the young prince! I'll tear you apart!"

The Grand Elder didn't even bother with magic; he simply transformed into a blur, his cane slamming with immense force into Xing Jue's head.

Xing Jue, no longer able to attack Jiang Yeyao, countered by summoning a starlight shield, which barely blocked the elder's furious blow.

"when--!"

Sparks flew everywhere.

Xing Jue was so shocked that he staggered back three steps, his arm going numb.

Although he suppressed his opponent in terms of cultivation level, this was, after all, the lower realm, and subject to the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao rules, so he could only exert less than 30% of his strength.
