Whose heretical cultivator relies on a rich woman to attain enlightenment?

"...Oh, right."

nod.

My heartbeat has slowed down, I'm no longer sweating, my hands are no longer trembling, and even my intellect is starting to regain its advantage.

He felt that being guilty of possessing a treasure was a better fit than having his identity exposed.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, her relaxed expression made Su Su a little puzzled. Could it be that she had guessed wrong?

"How did you, young master, receive the true teachings?"

"Well, uh, once when I was out working, I accidentally fell off a cliff and found a cave on the cliff face. There was a martial arts manual inside. That's how I found it. Yes, I still haven't figured it out. I hope Miss Susu won't tell anyone."

Another person who doesn't even blush when lying, but this answer was obviously too perfunctory, which made Su Su a little dissatisfied. She gently closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she found that her amber eyes had become vertical pupils at some point.

He stared intently at Lu Cheng's face, but the latter was not paying any attention to it at the moment.

"As long as it can be fooled, it's not impossible to say that I have received the inheritance. That would be a good excuse. If it is exposed in the future, I will have a way to explain myself to my senior sister and Hanguang."

"So far, no one in the Demon Suppression Division has noticed anything, which is most likely due to the vast difference in their cultivation levels. Does Senior Sister know about this?"

"Given my senior's personality, she won't stand idly by."

After calming down, Lu Cheng began to think things through.

Ji Xiaoxiao does need time to recuperate, but her seclusion to heal her injuries does not mean she has completely lost her ability to move. This time, she is not in seclusion to break through to a higher realm. Even if she comes out for a stroll, it will only affect the speed of her body's recovery.

Moreover, my senior sister really couldn't sense anyone using such advanced techniques within Jingnan City.

He didn't believe it.

Combining his previous conversation with his senior sister, he realized that the two of them had basically the same viewpoint when describing the demonic energy incident that occurred in Jingnan, only their perspectives differed. Considering that she had no reaction at the moment, this could only mean one thing.

"Does Senior Sister think she poses no threat for the time being?"

But the fox spirit, who was sitting in the chair with her legs crossed and swinging around, wouldn't stop. Perhaps because she hadn't been out for too long, Su Su was in a pretty good mood today. She interlaced her fingers, rested her chin on her hand, and brought her fluffy tail right up to the boy.

"Just as you thought, Ji Xiaoxiao deliberately let me into the city."

"So you really came to see Senior Sister Xiang..."

His words suddenly stopped, and his pupils dilated wildly!

I didn't say a word the whole time, so how could the other person know what I was thinking? No, they were probably just trying to bluff me!

Her vertical pupils blinked slowly, perfectly capturing the heartbeat and blood flow in her eyes.

"Hmm~ I never lie, it's just that my cultivation method is a bit special."

"It can see into people's hearts and manipulate their thoughts. Anyone who is tainted by my demonic energy will lose control and become a puppet. Even my demonic disciples cannot completely refine it. This is the origin of your so-called Jingnan demonic energy case."

"However, this matter has nothing to do with me."

Her smile remained unchanged, her eyes met Lu Cheng's gaze without flinching, allowing the young man to observe her inner thoughts. She had the confidence and ability to do so, knowing that she had nothing to hide.

She didn't press further about the inheritance, and judging from her expression alone, it was clear that Ji Xiaoxiao was completely unaware of the matter. If she hadn't happened to witness Lu Cheng absorbing her demonic essence that day, she wouldn't have known either.

There's plenty of time to pry everything out of this little guy.

The boy remained silent.

He didn't even dare to have any thoughts, trying to keep his mind blank, otherwise the other party would find out that he was an "extraterrestrial demon".

For the first time, he experienced the feeling of being completely controlled by the other party, and questions still kept popping into his mind.

"Oh? Why is this none of my business?"

He lightly scratched his cheek with his fingernail, swirling the heavy wine jug in his hand, his words crisp and direct.

"My filth will only be bestowed upon meritorious officials who need to break through their current realm."

"If I wanted to cause trouble in the city with my current level of cultivation, I could have just made my move openly while Ji Xiaoxiao was in seclusion. Even if I couldn't kill her, my injuries would have been much more severe than they are now, and my physical body might have been destroyed."

"I could never do all that for a dish of vinegar and a meal of dumplings."

"Demon filth cannot be completely refined, but it can attract the surrounding demonic energy and use it as an external force to accelerate cultivation. It is similar to the effect of Qi-inducing pills, but the effect is longer-lasting. Even cultivators at the fifth level will benefit greatly from obtaining demon filth, especially those who are in a bottleneck period."

"Of course, this is a top-quality tonic for you."

These words immediately reminded Lu Cheng of that ghost cultivator. It was because he repeatedly failed to establish his foundation that he inquired about the situation everywhere. Finally, he found out about Jingnan and learned about the existence of the demonic evil. That's why he reached an agreement with Lianxuzi.

"As for how the demonic creature appeared in Jingnan and how it was used as a weapon, that is the purpose of my trip."

She blinked, looking quite innocent. Sometime later, she poured herself another glass, her face flushing even more, and it was unclear whether she was drunk or not.

"As for you... I just did it on a whim. That heavy rain was just to make it easier to enter the city and reduce trouble. I never expected to encounter someone stealing my demonic essence on the way, so I thought I would take you away and interrogate you properly."

"Well, the result is as you can see."

"Your senior sister is really stingy. She won't even let me have a private rendezvous with her. Sigh, so I can only come to the city to find you."

"Don't worry, I wouldn't dare to make things difficult for you in this city. As for the matter of the extraterrestrial demons, well, consider it a secret between me and you."

"how?"

She blew me a kiss.

Even the tip of its tail had reached Lu Cheng's face, gently hooking his chin a few times, looking like it was deliberately teasing him. Just then, the boy, who had been silent and hiding his inner thoughts, suddenly spoke.

"You're asking me to pass on a message, right? Because you can't meet your senior sister in person?"

Now that he was certain the other party wasn't there to kill him, he wasn't afraid anymore. Instead, he started to push his luck and try to take control.

"Oh?"

An unexpected reaction.

The playful smile on his face vanished, even his vertical pupils slowly disappeared, returning to normal. He raised his chin at Lu Cheng, no longer trying to probe his thoughts.

"Yes, if I go to her residence on my own initiative, and she has malicious intentions, I will be doomed."

"If she were to come out of the city to meet me, given her current injuries, she would also be worried that I would suddenly turn on her. Therefore, you are the best messenger."

At this point, Susu stood up from her chair and rubbed her sore shoulders.

"Young master, won't you show me around Jingnan properly? This is my first time here."

"You...don't want your wife to find out you're a heretic, do you?"
