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

Xilin didn't make a sound, but slowly spat out the lamb skewers in his mouth and nodded to Xu Tianlin.

Immediately afterwards, a thick cloud of pure black fog burst out from his body without warning.

"boom!"

The violent demonic energy instantly swept through the entire SPA center.

The warm, moist air was instantly frozen by this icy, bone-chilling force, turning into tiny ice crystals that clattered and crackled onto the floor tiles.

From within the black mist came a sickeningly loud cracking sound of bones popping.

In less than two seconds, the giant black dog, the size of a calf, vanished. The black mist churned and contracted, and a tall, imposing humanoid figure emerged from it.

The heavy black metal armor clashed, producing a piercing "click" sound.

Two black horns that curved backward hung from the back of his head, and his dark red eyes burned with flames.

Xilin transformed back into human form.

He turned his head and glared fiercely at Liu Bo, who was standing a step away.

A terrifying killing intent slammed into Liu Bo's chest as if it were a tangible force.

Liu Bo was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning.

He stood there dumbfounded, watching the performance of the big dog turning into a living person.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Bo's pupils contracted rapidly.

The temperature was bone-chilling.

This churning, pure black demonic energy.

This is the aura of death that makes it hard to even breathe.

Isn't that...

Isn't this the Abyss Demon King Xilin who just incinerated Bai Suhuang to ashes with a single breath at the bottom of Broken Soul Cliff, and whose mere emanating pressure nearly wiped out their entire team?!

"Holy crap?"

Liu Bo's lips trembled, and he managed to squeeze out those two words with difficulty.

Countless thoughts flashed wildly through his mind like a revolving lantern, plunging his brain into unprecedented chaos and malfunction.

What did I just do?

Liu Bo lowered his head and looked at his right hand, which still had some black dog hair on it.

I just—

Did you touch the Demon King's head?

Not only did I touch the Demon King's head, but I also took a kebab and made Xilin, one of the seventy-two Demon Kings of the Abyss, shake hands with me.

Should I make him spin around?

Should I make him lie down?

I even made him do a backflip for me?!

"I've made something of myself..."

Liu Bo let out a desperate yet strangely proud wail in his heart.

With this resume and experience, who can compare across the entire human territory?

I ask Wei Peng, the prefect of Shangjing Prefecture, whether he has ever touched the Demon King's dog head in his life.

Have you ever seen the Demon King do somersaults?!

Absolutely not!

However, this eerie sense of pride lasted only a fraction of a second before being completely overwhelmed by overwhelming fear.

"wrong!"

"Am I going to die?!"

Looking into Xilin's dark red eyes, which seemed to want to devour him whole, Liu Bo felt a chill run down his spine.

Cold sweat instantly soaked through my back, and my heart was pounding so hard it felt like my chest would explode.

It's not just Liu Bo.

Rong Jing, who was standing a few steps away, was also completely suppressed by this aura.

Her legs gave way and she collapsed onto the wet floor tiles with a thud, covering her mouth tightly with her hands, unable to even scream.

The group froze instantly.

Apart from the flowing SPA spring water, the scene enters an eerie stillness.

A full five seconds passed.

Liu Bo and Rong Jing's stiff eyes finally managed to move, their gazes passing over the tall Xilin and landing on Xu Tianlin behind him.

Wait a minute.

Liu Bo and Rong Jing stared intently at Xu Tianlin's hands.

Xu Tianlin's left hand was casually gripping a black dog leash.

The other end of the dog leash was attached to a black collar.

"Gulp."

Liu Bo swallowed hard.

The shop owner just said he had something to take care of and went out for a short while.

Then, he turned his attention to the once arrogant and domineering Abyss Demon King who had been rampaging through the depths of the Broken Soul Cliff—

Did you bring it back?

In that instant, their worldviews shattered completely, leaving not even a trace.

That's the Demon King!

That was a terrifying existence that struck fear into the hearts of all races on the battlefield!

The Abyss has always been an absolute forbidden zone that humans fear to speak of; anyone who enters it is certain to die!

The Demon King of the Abyss is the ruler of the Abyss, the supreme being who controls the life and death of all races!

As a result, it ended up being treated like a pet dog.

It had a collar on it, a rope attached to it, and was led back from outside by the shop owner?!

"Aaaaaah!"

Liu Bo screamed inwardly, feeling like he was going crazy.

Previously, after witnessing the life-saving effects of the hot springs and the methods used by SPA centers to purify negative energy, I realized that...

Their assessment of the shop owner's abilities had been raised to an unbelievable level.

They believed that the shop owner was at least one of the top Dao Integration Realm experts among humans, or even possibly a legendary Mahayana Realm expert.

But now, looking at this abyss demon king leashed on a dog leash...

They suddenly realized that they hadn't broadened their perspective.

What does it mean to be a frog in a well?

This is what they call being a frog in a well!

The abyss demon king, who was unapproachable in their eyes and as unstoppable as a natural disaster, was just a watchdog responsible for doing somersaults and making fun in the eyes of the shopkeeper!

"Cough cough."

Just as Liu Bo was about to faint from Xilin's murderous aura.

Xu Tianlin, who was standing behind, made a fist and put it to his mouth, coughing lightly twice.

Those two coughs sounded to Xilin more terrifying than thunder from the heavens.

"Whoosh!"

Xilin shuddered.

The violent killing intent in his dark red eyes vanished without a trace in an instant, like the receding tide.

The terrifying pressure that had been covering Liu Bo and Rong Jing was instantly withdrawn into their bodies, as if it had been severed by a knife.

Xilin quickly turned his head away, not daring to look at Liu Bo again.

He was terrified that if he glared any longer, the scoundrel behind him would pull out the doll with the red cloth strip sewn on it and flick a big bump on his forehead.

Xilin stepped out of his heavy combat boots, turned around, and set his gaze on the stone platform in the center of the pool.

There, Luo Yurou sat cross-legged, her body corrupted by his demonic energy.
