Chapter 1640 – Eating Demons Like Sweets

In the Seizing Heavens Sect, Qin Y? was left with only his skin as his body trembled. He slowly opened his eyes. He looked down at his hands and lifted them to pinch his cheeks.

Ouch!

It was real, he was not dreaming. This was not an illusion. The Nine Bends Heaven Crossing Great Dao…it actually succeeded?!

“Ah!” Qin Y? screamed and fell to the side. He allowed his head to hit the ground with a ‘bom’. He rolled over in excitement.

This cannot be. How can it be!

How can there be such a horrifying Dao Path? Even if there is, which turtle would be so stupid to harm themselves in order to benefit others?

No matter how he thought about it, Qin Y? could not understand.

All of a sudden, he cried out miserably. ‘Crack’. His forehead split open and faint wounds appeared. But to Qin Y?, it felt as if a sword had pierced through him and into his soul. Pain was one thing, but it was scarier that he might actually die.

Ignoring the immense pain, Qin Y? quickly crawled up and started kowtowing, “Congratulations Master for achieving the Nine Bends Heaven Crossing Great Dao; there will be more to come!”

There was no reaction and the wound on his forehead slowly closed. There was no happiness on Qin Y?’s face – instead, he seemed to be mourning as his face was bleak and gloomy.

Just now, the original body had thought of killing him on the spot. However, it thought of how the Heaven Crossing Great Dao had just been successful and killing him would cause it to be unstable. Hence, he was momentarily spared.

But this also meant that when Qin Yu stabilized his realm and the Heaven Crossing Great Dao became sturdy, Qin Y? would be killed immediately.

Anyone else would do the same. An avatar of the World Spirit Embryo had amazing benefits to one’s cultivation.

But Qin Yu was not any normal person and the things he did in the past were evidence. If not, how could he have found the World Spirit Embryo and successfully cultivated his soul? Moreover, he had the frightening being with him and even after he fell into the Heaven Earth Gap, he was able to survive. Now, he even managed to master the Nine Bends Heaven Crossing Great Dao.

Everything was horrifying and just hearing about it made one’s legs lose strength.

Standing up, Qin Y? let out a long breath as he pulled on his hair. If he wanted to continue living, he had to do things well.

At least, he had to make Qin Yu know that keeping him alive was a good thing.

Alas, I ended up being someone I hated the most in the beginning – running around and making compromises everywhere in order to live instead of truly enjoying life and embracing this world.

Thinking about it made it even sadder. Qin Y? sobbed sorrowful tears!

……

Long Island.

Min Changjing was lying on the floor, sweat drenching his body. He was panting heavily like a fish that had been pulled out of the water. His face was pale and his eyes were bleak. Along with his disheveled look, he appeared extremely miserable and weak.

Rourou was sitting cross-legged a short distance away. Her face was pale, but at least on the surface, she was in a better condition than Lord Min.

At this moment, she slowly opened her eyes. As her gaze landed on Min Changjin, there was a glimmer deep in her eyes.

Lord Min turned to look at her, “My Lady, this time, I really really tried my best. You won’t change your mind right?”

Rourou was silent for a moment before she smiled, “Of course not, I have always been one to keep to my promises.”

She took out a golden fragment, “This is for you, and it settles everything between the both of us.” She casually threw it and Min Changjing, who had been lying on the floor, suddenly sprung up agilely and caught it carefully.

After checking that nothing was wrong with it, he let out a breath and looked grudgingly, “My Lady, can you not scare me like that? What if I did not catch it? My heart would have ached and burst on the spot.”

Rourou said blandly, “That is your problem.”

She looked at Min Changjing and frowned slightly. It was clear what she meant. Why are you still here?

Having gotten the thing, Min Changjing was feeling much better, but then he felt choked again. This is my house? You witch. You are so unreasonable.

Of course, he did not express any of this and merely smiled and put his hands together. He then picked up the unconscious Min Xiangtai and respectfully left.

Bom –

Bom –

The room door and the courtyard were closed. All senses to the outside world were cut off. Of course, Lord Min was still able to see through, but if he did it, he would be detected.

Turning to look at the courtyard, Min Changjing’s eyes flashed. Was this lady preparing…hmm, probably not. Otherwise she would not have paid such a high price.

Looking at the unconscious and oblivious Min Xiangtai, Lord Min got so angry, but he had nowhere to vent. He suddenly threw Min Xiangtai to the ground. But as soon as he let go, he felt his heart ache and he immediately reached out to slow the speed at which Min Xiangtai hit the ground.

“Hmm…Father. Why are you here? I…I am…” As Min Xiangtai spoke, his expression changed and he quickly stood up and rushed to Lord Min, “Where is White Iris? Where is White Iris? Father, you lost the fairy for me back then; if you lose White Iris too, this is the end of our relationship!”

Min Changjing lifted his hand to cover his face. This was…so embarrassing! He lifted his hand and slapped. Min Xiangtai fell to the ground and fainted.

This brat. He was more likable when he was unconscious.

“Housekeeper!”

The housekeeper, who had run away, suddenly appeared in front of Min Changjing. He greeted respectfully, “Lord, please tell me your orders.”

“Go and send the young master back. He will not wake up for a few days and there is no need to care about him. After I send our distinguished guest off, I will deal with him.”

“Yes.”

The housekeeper picked Min Xiangtai up and rushed off.

Lord Min chuckled bitterly as he staggered. He rubbed his face hard. Although he had unexpectedly benefitted from this, he had also lost a lot.

Nine Bends Heaven Crossing Great Dao…only he would be able to resist. If it were anyone else, they would have turned into a corpse.

He had to isolate for a few years to recover.

“Ah Lai, you bastard. Can’t you see that I am out? Have you finished preparing, I am about to die!”

Woosh –

The air shifted and the old chef appeared. He had a golden net around his waist and there were numerous fishes and shrimps jumping in it.

Looking closely, one would realize that the eyes of these fishes and shrimps were filled with horror and despair. They were all demons that had obtained spiritual wisdom and they were now beaten to reveal their original selves.

After Lord Min threw them a glance, they all froze and fainted from shock, falling to the ground with a ‘pitter patter’ sound.

“These kinds of goods? Isn’t there anything better? How long must I eat for to be done!” He frowned as he reached out to take the golden net.

Where Lord Min grabbed the net, the part he touched seemed to dim slightly. He grabbed a red shrimp and pressed down on it. The shrimp transformed into a red pill as big as his thumb and he swallowed it.

The old chef rubbed his hands together, looking guilty, “I am useless. Lord, please don’t be angry. When the guests leave in two days, I will go further to find you some more replenishing food.”

Lord Min nodded but he did not stop eating. After a few more times, the net was half empty. He ate demons like sweets and only this lord was able to do something like this. Anyone else would be so bloated they would die or they would disintegrate from the chaos of the demon energy.

There were many water demons and each of their powers was different. Mixing them together randomly was not a good thing.

But it was obvious that neither Lord Min nor this old chef cared.

After eating the last fish demon pill, Lord Min threw the golden net back, “Hurry and find another batch. It is not very useful but it is better than nothing.

The old chef nodded quickly and turned to disappear.

For the next two days, the only thing that Lord Min did was eat!

No one knew exactly how many water demons he ate. When the water demons in the one hundred mile radius Demon Trapping Formation became scarce, Lord Min slowed down as he casually ate them.

His complexion was a lot better and there was some color to his face. It was clear that as long as the quantity was sufficient, it could more or less make up for the lack in quality.

When the old chef delivered another batch of fishes and shrimps, he saw the lord eat weakly and looked guilty.

He thought about it before saying, “Lord, are you sure you don’t want to try again? That lady’s condition may not be better than yours now. If possible…not only will you be able to recover your Dao, you might even be able to go a step further. When that happens, you will be able to achieve perfect longevity.”

Lord Min fell silent for a while before shaking his head, “Since that lady dared to show me that she was weak, it is possible that it is a setup. I am not willing to take the risk as I might not achieve perfect longevity and could even get killed.”

That witch was simply too evil. If not, there might have been a chance…Lord Min sighed!

“Old chef, time and time again, you are doing this. I will remember you.” Rourou’s soft voice could be heard.

Lord Min frowned slightly. ‘Bom’, the old chef was thrown into the air. He was thrown off Long Island and landed in the Demon Trapping Formation in the lake.

The water demons that had already been scared out of their wits started to panic and struggle to escape when they smelled the smelly aura from the old chef.

‘Boom boom boom’, non-stop loud sounds could be heard hitting the Demon Trapping Formation. The demons started bleeding as their shells broke, but they did not dare to stop or turn back.

The old chef swallowed the mouthful of blood that had filled his mouth. If he really spit the blood out, the water demons in the Demon Trapping Formation would die. The lord needed them now to replenish his body and so this would be a waste.

As for his injuries, they worsened after he forcefully swallowed the blood…but this was nothing and the old chef did not care.

Whether he died a few days early or not, the big lass’ future was settled. The reason why he was fighting against death now was merely to help the lord vent. If not for that, the old chef would not mind passing on earlier.

Kicking out, the old chef shot out of the Demon Trapping Formation. After all, this was his formation and it would not suppress him. He was drenched as he landed on the island. He coughed and spoke respectfully, “My Lady, this is my personal opinion and has nothing to do with my lord. If you have to blame someone, blame me!”

“Okay!”

Rourou sneered and released her aura.
