Fairy, help me cultivate.

If it weren't for the newly acquired "Illumination" entry, which copied the blood energy of the small grotto from before, it probably wouldn't have been so easy to capture and kill the two.

Once they escape from the cave, I fear I might actually be captured myself.

"Heh, if I hadn't infused your magic with my own blood and energy, allowing it to grow claws and fangs, would you have been able to kill them so quickly?"

"That's true. Without you by my side these days, I'm more energetic at everything I do."

Unconsciously, Chen Yao stroked the rounded hips of the jade-like body in his arms, but unexpectedly, the jade feet in silver high-heeled sandals pressed against his shoulder, pinning him against the back of the chair.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've grown braver!"

The scarlet iris eyes came closer, filled with both murderous intent and a hint of mockery.

"Your body has recovered?"

Chen Yao asked with a smile. Although he didn't know why Yun Jiang was the one who came out of the Nine Falls Seal, he was still just as happy, even happier.

Yun Jiang sniffed: "That's about it. Any news from the South China Sea lately?"

"It's just a battle between good and evil, with the righteous path trying to destroy the evil."

"very good!"

Yun Jiang's lips curled up.

Chen Yao reached out and removed her foot from his shoulder, casually playing with it: "You are, after all, a demon lord. Your people are about to be slaughtered, how can you not be worried?"

Yun Jiang felt a little ticklish from his touch, so she pulled her foot away, stood up, and said, "It's just dogs fighting."

She looked up at the sky above Yuanhu Cave Heaven: "If Qingniu boy looks over here, go out and ask him for something. It's a magical herb that will be extremely useful for my recovery."

After saying that, her figure dissipated into red smoke and returned to Chen Yao's storage ring.

The cracked, bright red jade slip once again fell into Chen Yao's hands.

Chen Yao was about to crush it when he was suddenly startled.

He sensed a strong aura of the Nine Fallen.

"You're inside?"

He spoke.

The jade slip remained unresponsive, as if it were an ordinary object.

Chen Yao was about to input spiritual energy when he heard Jiu Luo's calm voice coming from inside.

"I thank you for getting rid of that annoying neighbor. But what am I going to do now that you've ruined my secluded place?"

Chen Yao smiled and asked, "Why don't you come out?"

"Why did you come out? To be your servant?"

"Nine Falls is still Nine Falls after all."

"Jiuluo is no longer Jiuluo. I'm tired. I won't care about any more disputes."

"So, you've already found a way to prevent the immortal energy from being corrupted?"

"I guess so! But I have to tell you, you have to do something for me."

"We'll talk about that later. What I wanted to ask was..."

Can the Myriad Demons' Heart-to-Heart Pearl be restored?

"good."

"You shouldn't ask me that. Go ask the one inside your ring!"

The jade slip fell silent.

Within his consciousness, he heard Yun Jiang's delicate snort, carrying a hint of defiance.

It seems she suffered quite a few setbacks while trapped in the jade slip with Jiu Luo.

Chen Yao said with a forced smile, "Your Excellency, Demon Lord..."

"No way!"

"Oh, then I'm too lazy to ask Qingniu Zhenren for any magical herbs. Alas, I thought Your Excellency the Demon King was omnipotent. Even if he doesn't grant any request, he's still better than Jiuluo Zhenren!"

Yun Jiang remained silent for a while, then reluctantly said, "Fire Cloud Cave."

"what?"

"Foolish man! I told you to take the Myriad Demon Heart-Binding Pearl to the Fire Cloud Cave and refine it again."

"Thank you, Demon Lord. Indeed, you are stronger than Jiu Luo."

"Humph!"

Yun Jiang's sweet hum was tinged with joy.

Chen Yao breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, Jiu Luo's dissatisfied voice came from the jade slip: "Did you say something bad about me?"

"Isn't the real person going to live in seclusion? Why would he care about these things?"

Chen Yao gave a dry laugh.

Yun Jiang gloated over other people's misfortune.

Jiu Luo said, "Seclusion doesn't mean becoming a wooden or stone puppet. I still have emotions and desires. This is a one-time exception, otherwise..."

Are you alright?

At this moment, a rift opened in the sky above Yuanhu Cave Heaven, and the young Taoist boy's handsome but enormous face peeked out, looking extremely terrifying.

Chen Yao pointed at the corpse: "Clean it up, let me out!"

The young Taoist priest breathed a sigh of relief and began chanting incantations and making hand gestures.

A beam of green light swept in, enveloping Chen Yao and the corpse, and emerged from the emerald green gourd.

The Green Ox Taoist excitedly approached, looking left and right, but then a look of disappointment appeared on his face: "Where is the Ancestor?"

Chen Yao waved the broken jade slip.

With a quick glance, he said, "Master Jiuluo is currently in seclusion. He only casually killed two people before returning to his quiet cultivation."

Taoist Qingniu nodded: "So it should be, so it should be!"

He bowed respectfully to the jade slip: "Junior Qingniu greets Ancestor. However, this jade slip is broken, and it seems unsuitable for quiet cultivation."

He presented the jade gourd with both hands, saying, "My Yuanhu Cave Heaven, after being nurtured by several generations and nearly a thousand years, is now a place of extremely high quality for quiet cultivation. I humbly request that you, Ancestor, extend your presence here. This would be my way of showing my respect."

The jade slip remained motionless.

Chapter 175 Rebellious Disciple

Why aren't you answering?

Jiu Luo ultimately ignored Qing Niu Dao Ren, but Chen Yao still accepted Yuan Hu Cave Heaven and also obtained the medicinal herbs that Yun Jiang needed.

"I don't want to pay attention to those worldly people."

Jiu Luo had already moved to the Yuan Hu Cave Heaven on Chen Yao's waist, and answered lazily.

"Oh, I am not a person of this world?"

“You don’t count, after all, you have some similarities with me.”

Chen Yao asked curiously, "Where?"

"You also possess an ethereal aura."

"Just because of that?"

"Just because of this."

"I thought that after all these years, you had finally found that flutter in my heart again."

"..."

Jiu Luo was silent for a moment: "Maybe!"

Chen Yao stumbled as he flew through the sea of ​​clouds.

"I am living in seclusion and practicing asceticism. You must be careful."

"how?"

"Be careful, one day I might really get carried away and kill you with a single finger, so as not to miss the path to enlightenment."

"..."

Chen Yao dared not speak carelessly anymore.

Jiu Luo is a very cunning woman, but she doesn't seem to have ever joked around...

"The Great Dao... has, after all, collapsed."

He retorted cautiously.

"Even if the laws of Heaven collapse, as long as there are people in the world, the laws of humanity will not collapse."

"Since it's about humanity, it's inevitable to explore the relationships between people..."

Chen Yao blurted out, and an extremely chilling aura emanated from the emerald gourd at his waist. He immediately fell silent.

"Yun Jiang, where is the Fire Cloud Cave?"

Chen Yao asked Yun Jiang with his spiritual sense.

After a long pause, Yun Jiang finally snorted, "So you come and bother me when people ignore you?"

"What do you mean? I'm asking about serious matters!"

"I don't see how serious it is."

"Huh, even the Demon Lord is getting serious now?"

A sharp, needle-like pain shot through Chen Yao's fingertip from the storage ring, as if someone had pinched him. Chen Yao grimaced, "The Demon Lord really does have some of the aura of a real person now. But only little girls pinch people."

"It doesn't hurt, right?"

Yun Jiang spoke in a tense voice, her tone threatening.
