What? You opened a resort on the battlefield of all races?

Chapter 248

Purifying SPA for negative energy.

"Why hasn't the shop owner arrived yet?!"

Rong Jing was so anxious that she kept spinning around the pool, her high ponytail swinging back and forth with her movements.

She stopped abruptly, turned to look at Liu Bo leaning against the door frame, her voice trembling with obvious sobs.

"Did you find the shop owner or not?"

Liu Bo covered his newly reattached arm with one hand, his brows furrowed, his face full of helplessness.

"Found it! Would I lie to you?"

Liu Bo stamped his foot impatiently.

"But the shop owner said he had something to take care of and asked me to come first, saying he would be there in a bit."

"He told me to leave first, how could I possibly drag him over?"

Rong Jing was so anxious that she stomped her feet, her eyes were red like a rabbit's, and tears were welling up in them, ready to fall at any moment.

"What are we going to do?!"

She turned her gaze to Luo Yurou on the stone platform in the center of the SPA room.

At this moment, Luo Yurou was sitting quietly in the center of the stone platform.

The pale blue spring water, capable of purifying all evil energy, was now transforming into layers of water curtains, continuously washing over Luo Yurou's body.

However, the thick, ink-like demonic energy on Luo Yurou's body surface remained firmly entrenched on her skin, as if it were alive.

The demonic energy surged violently, constantly emitting a "sizzling" corrosive sound, and struggled against the water curtain of the SPA spring.

Under the powerful suppression of the evil energy purification SPA, the demonic energy did not continue to spread to the internal organs and the other half of the body, and stopped further corroding Luo Yurou.

However, the black mist showed no signs of diminishing or dissipating!

The two forces thus became locked in a tug-of-war on Luo Yurou's body surface.

At this moment, Luo Yurou's appearance was so pitiful that it was unbearable to look at.

The flesh on the right side of her body was completely withered and shrunken, having lost all moisture and vitality, clinging tightly to the bones.

The bones were a lifeless gray-black color, and from a distance, half of her body had completely turned into a horrifying skeleton.

Luo Yurou's eyes were tightly closed, and the rise and fall of her chest was so faint that it was almost imperceptible, as if she would stop breathing completely at any moment.

"No, we can't just wait like this any longer!"

Rong Jing gritted her teeth, "I'll take her to the Life-Saving Hot Spring! The hot spring can restore life; it will definitely save her!"

"Calm down!"

Liu Bo grabbed Rong Jing's arm and held her tightly.

"Are you crazy! The hot spring isn't far from here, but it's still a few minutes' walk."

"Without the suppression of the SPA water curtain, that demonic energy could devour Yu Rou's remaining half-life in an instant! In her current state, she wouldn't even last ten seconds!"

Rong Jing stumbled as she was pulled, squatted down by the pool, covered her face with her hands, and finally couldn't help but sob.

The group of people were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, pacing around the room in circles, but they were at a loss.

"What's going on here?"

Just as the group was on the verge of collapse, a lazy, casual voice, accompanied by the sound of a sliding door, slowly drifted in.

Upon hearing the voice, Liu Bo and Rong Jing were startled and turned around abruptly.

Xu Tianlin, dressed in loose casual clothes and holding a black dog leash, was slowly walking into the SPA center.

"Shop owner, you've finally arrived!"

Upon seeing Xu Tianlin, Liu Bo and Rong Jing reacted as if they were drowning people grasping at a straw, rushing straight towards him.

Ignoring the pain in his arm, Liu Bo strode up to Xu Tianlin, pointed at the stone platform in the center of the pool, and shouted excitedly.

"Shopkeeper, please save Yu Rou!"

"She blocked the Demon King's attack; that black energy was too powerful, even the spa water couldn't neutralize it, she's about to die!"

Rong Jing, wiping away tears, leaned closer, her eyes pleading, "Senior, please, please help!"

Xu Tianlin waved his hand, signaling them to move aside.

Following the direction the two pointed, his gaze fell on Luo Yurou on the stone platform.

After staring at the churning ball of pure black demonic energy for two seconds, Xu Tianlin stroked his chin.

"With demonic energy entering the body, the Demon King's original power is indeed more troublesome than ordinary malevolent energy."

Xu Tianlin made a casual comment, then looked away, nodded at the two of them, and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"It's no big deal, you won't die. It's not a serious problem."

"rest assured."

The moment those two words were uttered, they seemed to possess a kind of soothing magic.

Liu Bo and Rong Jing's nerves, which had been stretched to the limit, instantly relaxed. They both exhaled a long breath at the same time, feeling their legs go weak.

The shop owner and senior staff all said it was fine.

There's no way anything could have happened!

In their hearts, Xu Tianlin was an omnipotent god in this world. If he said it wasn't a big problem, then it really wasn't.

Completely relaxed, the two finally had the leisure to take in their surroundings.

Liu Bo's gaze followed the black dog leash in Xu Tianlin's hand all the way down, and he finally noticed the huge creature sitting obediently on the ground next to Xu Tianlin.

"Wow!"

Liu Bo's eyes lit up suddenly, and he exclaimed as if he had discovered a new continent, "Senior shop owner, when did you get a dog?"

Rong Jing also looked over.

The dog in front of us was huge, about the size of a small calf.

Its entire body is covered in black fur, and it has a row of dark red barbs on its back, making it look majestic and fierce.

But why is this dog all bruised and swollen?

There was a large, purplish-red bump right in the center of his forehead, which looked rather comical.

Rong Jing tilted her head and muttered something in a puzzled tone.

"But this dog... it looks kind of familiar?"

No wonder Rong Jing didn't recognize her.

Previously at the bottom of the Broken Soul Cliff, when they faced Xilin, Xilin was surrounded by overwhelming black demonic energy. Coupled with the terrifying pressure of that Dao Integration Realm Demon King, they couldn't even lift their heads and couldn't see Xilin's actual appearance.

Furthermore...

Even if Rong Jing had three brains, she wouldn't dare to think that way!

One of the Seventy-Two Demon Kings of the Abyss, a terrifying being who controls all races, could be sitting obediently like a pet dog next to this shopkeeper senior with a dog leash around his neck?

This is even more outrageous than a rock porcupine climbing a tree!

Liu Bo circled Xilin twice, marveling at the sight.

"As expected of the shop owner, even his pet is so unique!"

"This dog is really impressive! Those bone spurs, that physique—it'd definitely turn heads if you took it out!"

As he spoke, Liu Bo moved closer to Xilin and, with audacity, reached out and haphazardly patted Xilin's head, which was covered in bumps.

Xilin was sulking with his head down when he suddenly felt a human hand, smelling of earth, rubbing his head.

A dignified Demon King being treated like a dog by an ant in the Flying Heaven Realm?!

Xilin was furious. He suddenly raised his head and stared intently at Liu Bo with his dark red eyes.

"roar……"

He let out a low growl, his lips parted to reveal a mouthful of sharp, interlocking fangs, and bared them at Liu Bo without any politeness.

Liu Bo was startled and quickly withdrew his hand.

But instead of being afraid, he grinned.

"Wow, she's got quite a temper!"

Liu Bo clapped his hands. "A dog with a temper is a good dog."

Liu Bo flipped his wrist, and a flash of light appeared on the storage artifact.

A huge skewer of lamb, perfectly grilled to a crispy exterior and tender interior, sprinkled with cumin and chili powder, and sizzling with oil, appeared in his hand.

He bought these from a food stall, intending to give them as a gift to the greedy bluefin whale.

Liu Bo, holding a kebab, squatted down directly in front of Xilin.

The strong aroma emanating from the meat skewers hit Xilin's nose directly.

Liu Bo raised his right hand, which was holding the lamb skewers, and then extended his left hand, palm up, and placed it flat in front of Xilin's chest.

He looked at the ferocious-looking "big dog" in front of him and gave the command with a grin.

"Come on, let's shake hands."

Xilin: "!!!!"

Shake your MLGB hand!

Xilin's eyes turned red, and his back teeth were grinding together.

What do you take me for?!

You think a broken kebab will make me shake hands with you?!

I'm going to bite him to death!

I'm going to chew this kid's head up and swallow it along with this skewer of meat!

Xilin's muscles tensed instantly, and it raised its front paws slightly, as if it were about to bite Liu Bo's neck off.

Just then.

Standing to the side, Xu Tianlin slowly reached his hand into the pocket of his casual clothes.

He slowly pulled out half of a red and black cartoon doll with a red cloth strip sewn onto its head.

Xu Tianlin didn't speak, but just held the doll and looked at Xilin with a half-smile.

Xilin's lunge momentarily froze.

He looked at the doll, then at Xu Tianlin's kind smile.

A chill ran down my spine and straight to my head.

"Oh well, never mind."

Xilin let out a humiliating and sorrowful sigh from the bottom of his heart.

The devil, under the eaves, has no choice but to bow his head.

What's a handshake compared to preserving one's soul?

Xilin closed his eyes, and with a death-defying resolve, extended his thick right forepaw, placing it heavily on Liu Bo's outstretched left hand.

"Haha! That's so clever!"

Liu Bo was overjoyed. He stood up and waved the lamb skewers in front of Xilin.

"Spin around!"

Xilin gritted his teeth, his four legs twitching as he spun around in place.

"Get down!"

With a "splat," Xilin's massive body lay flat against the floor tiles.

"Somersault!"

Xilin suppressed the urge to swat Liu Bo to death with one claw, pushed off with his hind legs, and his huge body drew an arc in mid-air before crashing to the ground with a "bang," performing a perfect backflip.

Liu Bo was stunned.

He generously tossed the lamb skewers in his hand to Xilin, who instinctively opened his mouth and caught them.

"Hehe!"

Liu Bo turned to look at Xu Tianlin, gave him a thumbs up, and said, "As expected of the shop owner, this dog is really intelligent! It's been trained so well!"

Xu Tianlin suppressed a laugh and put the Shenpo doll back into his pocket.

He clapped his hands, bringing the topic back on track.

"Alright, stop playing around."

Xu Tianlin pointed to Luo Yurou, who was still in a half-skeletal state in the center of the pool, and then pointed to Xilin, who was squatting on the ground with a kebab in his mouth.

"We still need him to save Yu Rou."

Upon hearing this...

The smiles on Liu Bo and Rong Jing's faces vanished instantly.

The two turned their heads in unison, their gazes sweeping back and forth between Xilin and Luo Yurou.

"Rely on this dog?"

Liu Bo was completely bewildered.

Rong Jing looked at Xu Tianlin with a puzzled expression.

Luo Yurou was injured by the Abyss Demon King's attack!

That black aura was the very essence of the Demon King's demonic energy!

Even the resort's magical SPA spring water can only be barely suppressed, so what use is a pet dog?

Could this dog possibly eat the demonic energy?

The group looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief.

Xu Tianlin did not offer any further explanation.

He stepped forward and patted Xilin's large head, which was covered in bumps, twice.

It was accompanied by a soft "click".

Xu Tianlin loosened the black dog leash he had been holding.

He took a half step back and looked at Xilin.

"Go."

Xu Tianlin's tone was calm, yet brooked no refusal.

"It's up to you now."
