So it turns out I'm the demon!

Jiang Mu arrived at the sandy area in the courtyard where he cultivated and summoned the magic gauge in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Thanks to the contributions of the previous demons and Huang Silang, the demon blood in the demon tank has now accumulated to more than half its capacity, glowing with a red light, enough for Jiang Mu to squander for a while.

Beside the magic tank, Huang Si's shadowy figure stood quietly.

He was as lifeless as a puppet.

"Zhang the Butcher's Shadow can help me strengthen my muscles and bones and increase my physical strength, but what wonderful uses does Huang the Fourth Master's Shadow have?"

With a touch of curiosity, Jiang Mu reached out to touch it.

However, when the fingertip passed through, there was no real feedback.

"Huh? No response?"

He frowned and tried a few more times, but still nothing happened.

"Looks like I haven't figured out how to use it... Oh well, I'll have plenty of time to figure it out later."

Jiang Mu stopped worrying and instead poured demonic energy into the light spot next to the demonic slot, summoning his own demonic shadow.

He entered a command.

The demonic shadow then began to practice the "Eight Styles of Breaking the Heavens" on its own.

Then, Jiang Mu took out the dominoes that had been taken from Huang Silang.

"Zhang Daxiao said this thing is a magic artifact for concealing one's aura, but it's covered in demonic energy. Since I can absorb and transform demonic energy, perhaps I can use it to refine this thing as well."

With a thought, wisps of pure black energy flowed from his fingertips and wrapped around the dominoes.

chi chi-

The demonic energy that had tainted the dominoes was quickly washed away and purified by the demonic energy.

Immediately afterwards, those originally dull lines lit up one by one, emitting a faint glow.

Jiang Mu could clearly feel that the quality of the dominoes had been elevated to a higher level under the tempering of demonic energy.

It subtly resonated with his own aura.

"Demonic energy really can refine magical artifacts..."

Jiang Mu was overjoyed.

After a while, Yuan Aqing, who had finished washing the clothes, walked over timidly: "Master, I... I don't know anything about cultivation. I'm afraid I'm too stupid to cultivate well."

Jiang Mu put away the dominoes and gently comforted him:

"Don't be afraid, cultivation isn't that scary. I'm teaching you to practice so you can protect yourself and your sister Bai Xiang. Who knows, if you practice well, you might even be able to protect me in the future."

The little girl, who had been feeling uneasy, suddenly brightened up upon hearing the last sentence and nodded vigorously:

"Master, I will definitely practice hard!"

"Alright, I'll teach you the most basic body-strengthening methods first."

Seeing that she had rekindled her fighting spirit, Jiang Mu began teaching her the most basic stance training from the "Body Casting Techniques".

Not far away, under the eaves, Bai Xiang leaned against a pillar and gazed quietly.

Seeing Jiang Mu let the frail little girl repeatedly crash into the wooden stake, she frowned slightly and muttered to herself:

"How can you teach a girl like that..."

……

Yuan Aqing's comprehension is not bad.

After Jiang Mu explained and demonstrated the stance, footwork, and breathing rhythm several times, she had memorized most of it.

And just as Jiang Mu had predicted, this girl practiced with extraordinary dedication.

Its thin, frail body seemed oblivious to pain.

He repeatedly crashed into the hard wooden stakes, fell down and got up again, gritted his teeth and endured the scrapes without uttering a sound.

The consequence of doing this is that...

That evening, Bai Xiang wrapped the little girl in gauze like a rice dumpling.

Looking at Yuan Aqing, who was crying her eyes out and felt guilty and useless, Jiang Mu found her appearance somewhat ridiculous, but still patiently offered a few words of comfort.

During this time, he received several eye rolls from Bai Xiang, which was quite unusual.

After feeding Yuan Aqing the calming and pain-relieving medicine, and letting her fall into a deep sleep, Jiang Mu returned to the sandy area to continue his cultivation.

I didn't go back to my room to sleep until late at night.

……

The night was deep and all was quiet.

Bai Xiang, who had already gone to bed, quietly got up.

She sat down by Yuan Aqing's bedside, her bare feet as white as snow.

By the dim light of the night, she gazed at the stubborn little girl who was still frowning in pain in her sleep, sighed softly, and reached out her slender fingers to gently stroke the girl's brow.

"This girl, sometimes she's just like me."

"Very well, it is fate that we met, so I will help you this once."

Bai Xiangyu waved her hand lightly.

squeak-

The window was open.

outside the window.

A bright moon hangs high in the night sky, so pure and spotless that it coats everything in the world with a layer of silver frost.

Bai Xiang raised her other hand.

He made a mysterious hand gesture towards the night sky.

In an instant, it seemed as if a star suddenly lit up in the night sky, connecting with the bright moon.

The moon suddenly appeared larger.

It was as if someone had pulled the night sky a foot closer to us.

The next moment, strands of moonlight intertwined to form a slender ribbon of light, which fell from the heavens, passed through the window, and gently entwined with her fingertips as she made a hand seal.

A hazy white halo enveloped the woman.

Her clothes fluttered even without wind.

She was like a fairy from the moon palace who had mistakenly descended to the mortal world.

Her other hand, which had been resting on Yuan Aqing's cheek, slowly moved down, the moonlight at her fingertips condensing into silver threads that traveled along the girl's bruises and seeped into her bones.

She is sculpting Yuan Aqing's bones.

Nourish with the power of moonlight, clear the meridians, and lay a foundation for cultivation far beyond that of ordinary people.

Yuan Aqing was at the perfect age at that time.

If you grow another two years older, you will no longer be able to reshape your bones.

"what?"

Bai Xiang suddenly let out a soft "Eh," a hint of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes.

She gazed down at the unconscious girl, muttering to herself, "This girl actually possesses an unawakened sword heart?"

The woman thought it was a bit outrageous.

That playboy actually picked up a treasure?

Bai Xiang hesitated for a moment, but in the end she continued to urge Yuehua to carefully massage her muscles and bones.

at the same time.

As her spiritual energy circulated, the disguise on her face began to dissipate like smoke.

The originally unremarkable facial features became blurred and then peeled away.

A stunningly beautiful face was revealed in an instant.

Everything seemed to lose its color at that moment, even the bright moon suddenly dimmed.

The woman's lips curled slightly upwards.

It has brought utter disaster to the country and its people.

……

After completing the bone sculpting for Yuan Aqing, Bai Xiang had a slight thought and quietly floated to Jiang Mu's door.

She gently pushed open the door.

Inside the room, the man was lying on his back, sleeping soundly and snoring softly.

Bai Xiang stood quietly by the bed, her jade hand gently waving, and a ray of moonlight shone into Jiang Mu's brow, making him sleep more soundly.

Then, she lifted the blanket.

Jiang Mu is used to sleeping naked.

At this moment, his upper body was completely uncovered, and his strong physique was fully revealed in the hazy moonlight.

Bai Xiang's gaze was calm as she held her hand about an inch above his dantian and gently stroked it.

A soft moonlight enveloped Jiang Mu's body.

She was feeling her bones.

Unlike how they treated Yuan Aqing, they didn't try to reshape her bones; instead, they wanted to investigate the guy's background.

Because from the very beginning, she didn't care about Jiang Mu's cultivation.

However, after observing him for just one month, she discovered that this guy's cultivation speed was very fast.

So I want to confirm what my physical constitution is like.

However, as the investigation deepened, Bai Xiang's eyebrows furrowed more and more tightly.

"strangeness……"

"His physical constitution is unremarkable, and his meridians are of ordinary width and width, without any special signs... One could even say that he is somewhat dull-witted."

Bai Xiang was completely baffled.

With this kind of talent, let alone breaking through in a month, even if you gave him a year, he might not be able to even touch the threshold of the first realm.

"Could it be some kind of special constitution?"

Unfortunately, she couldn't directly touch the man's body; otherwise, she could have used secret methods to investigate further and perhaps uncover some clues.

She has suffered from a strange illness since she was six years old.

Whether a man touches her or she touches a man, they are separated by an invisible barrier.

This is why the tyrannical emperor wasted resources building the Deer Terrace, attempting to use rituals to cure her strange illness.

Even when Jiang Mu was exhausted from practicing martial arts and was carried into the bathtub by her, she lifted her up with her spiritual power from a distance.

Bai Xiang gazed at the handsome profile of the sleeping man, and a thought suddenly occurred to her:

"How about we try that forbidden technique?"

She hesitated for a moment, but in the end she still extended a slender finger and slowly reached towards Jiang Mu's nose.

She stopped when she was an inch away.

A wisp of extremely fine, pale blue moonlight condensed at his fingertips and entered his nostrils.

Just then, perhaps the chill of the moonlight stimulated Jiang Mu, who frowned in his sleep, looking somewhat uncomfortable.

Before Bai Xiang could even begin casting her spell, Jiang Mu suddenly raised her hand impatiently.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound.

Jiang Mu swatted away the hand that was hovering above his nose like swatting a fly, then rubbed his slightly itchy nose, turned over, and continued to sleep soundly on his side.

Bai Xiang's hand froze in mid-air.

Looking at her hand, which had been slapped red, a hint of annoyance and disappointment flashed in her beautiful eyes as she realized her spell had been interrupted.

"It won't work..."

She shook her head and turned to leave.

But as soon as she took a step, she suddenly stopped, as if struck by lightning, and stood frozen on the spot.

and many more!

Realizing what was happening, Bai Xiang slowly raised her hand, staring intently at the reddened skin.

Her beautiful eyes widened little by little, her face filled with disbelief.

he……

Just now……

It actually bumped right into me!?
