Miao Miao knew nothing about romantic relationships.
But with Ye Mo spitting out the truth after getting drunk, Miao Miao was shocked. She felt a nagging curiosity about the Yue Yue Ye Mo had mentioned.
“Looks like Junior Brother Ye Mo has many stories in his heart. Fine, today I will take the loss and allow you to hug me for the night.” Miao Miao lay in Ye Mo’s arms and fell asleep.
Miao Miao was up and had prepared breakfast by the time Ye Mo woke up.
“Junior Brother Ye Mo, we’ll be returning to the Door of Desolation after this meal,” she said. “Since you have killed so many demons, you’ll definitely earn a lot of merit points.”
Ye Mo had completely forgotten about that. Their mission here in the first place was to kill demons. After killing all those demons, Ye Mo would be able to earn at least several tens of thousands of merit points.
Ye Mo nodded and asked, “Senior Sister Miao Miao, is your Spirit Fox Clan’s Devil Refining Gourd really powerful enough to warrant all the fighting yesterday?”
“The Devil Refining Gourd of the Spirit Fox Clan is one of the Seven Great Primordial Vicious Weapons,” Miao Miao said.”My father said that tens of thousands of years ago, our ancestor used it to refine thousands of demons, striking fear into the hearts of all the Zone of Demon experts. Soon after, the continent gradually regained peace and was split into five zones. After that, our ancestor never took the Devil Refining Gourd out again. He even sealed the Devil Refining Gourd with a ninth rank seal. But outsiders don’t know that we’ve sealed the Devil Refining Gourd. They still take care not to offend the Spirit Fox Clan.”
“Why did you tell me then?” Ye Mo asked in astonishment.
“Junior Brother Ye Mo, what exactly is our relationship?” Miao Miao spoke forthrightly with her arm around Ye Mo’s shoulder. “Now that the demon army has attacked the Zone of Desolation once again, the disciples of the Door of Desolation will be on high alert. What happened yesterday to the Spirit Fox Clan won’t be allowed to repeat. Unfortunately, we’ve offended the Spirit Hound Clan.”
“Lin Wei won’t let it end just like that,” Ye Mo said. “If he wants to make a move against us, he can only do it through the Door of Desolation. But as disciples of Asura Palace, what do we have to fear from him?”
“That’s right. Junior Brother Ye Mo,” Miao Miao said with a nod. “With your current strength, I reckon it will be very hard for you to find someone that’s your match among the new disciples. Lin Langya won’t be able to do anything to you. We’ll be watching him too closely.”
After breakfast, Ye Mo and Miao Miao went to Clan Leader Yin Hu and explained to him that nothing had actually happened between them.
When Clan Leader Yin Hu heard that, he felt somewhat dispirited. He felt as if a duck he had cooked and was about to eat had suddenly flown away from him.
“Miao Miao, please go,” he said. “I have something to say to Ye Mo.”
“Clan Leader Yin Hu, what do you wish to speak about?” Ye Mo asked after Miao Miao left.
“Ye Mo, Miao Miao has already told you about the Devil Refining Gourd, correct?” Clan Leader Yin Hu asked expressionlessly.
“Yes.” Ye Mo nodded. “The Devil Refining Gourd is one of the Seven Great Primordial Vicious Weapons, capable of refining everything in existence.”
“Yes, that’s true,” Yin Hu said. “Each of the Seven Great Primordial Vicious Weapons is an Immortal Weapon, and my Devil Refining Gourd is ranked seventh among them. Do you know why our ancestor sealed the Devil Refining Gourd away?”
Ye Mo shook his head.
“Because our ancestor was afraid that when he used the Devil Refining Gourd, our clansmen would be the ones getting refined by it instead, Yin Hu said faintly. “So he sealed it before hiding it somewhere dangerous, the Land of Death.”
“Land of Death?” Ye Mo frowned. When he checked the Zone of Desolation’s map, he found several areas marked red. Those were the dangerous regions in the Zone of Desolation, places even Transcendence Realm experts might not survive.
“Why are you telling me all this?” Ye Mo asked.
“Miao Miao is the next master of the Devil Refining Gourd,” Yin Hun said.” I was hoping you could help Miao Miao retrieve it.”
“Are you not afraid that I would secretly take the Devil Refining Gourd for myself after you tell me its location?” Ye Mo asked with a smile.
“I trust Miao Miao’s judgment in people,” Yin Hu replied confidently.
Ye Mo smiled before taking the map Clan Leader Yin Hu gave him. He put the map into his dimensional bracelet, then cupped his fists at Clan Leader Yin Hu before taking his leave.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Two figures unfurled their wings as they soared into the sky.
“Junior Brother Ye Mo, what did my father tell you?” Miao Miao asked.
“He is thinking of betrothing you to me and wanted me to get to know you better.” Ye Mo teased.
“Courting death. You dare tease me?” Miao Miao said with a smile. “I’ll tell Yue Yue about this when I meet her.”
“Yue Yue?” Ye Mo was stunned. “How did you know?”
“Last night, you got drunk and kept repeating the name, Yue Yue,” Miao Miao threw Ye Mo a glance and answered with a smile. “The name kept echoing in my ears on repeat.”
“What else did I say last night?” Ye Mo blushed.
“Haha, I never expected to see Junior Brother Ye Mo blush as well.” Miao Miao smiled. “You didn’t say much, just kept repeating how much you missed her. Seems like she’s very important to you.” She frowned and continued, “Junior Brother Ye Mo, look. The demons’ demonic cores have all been taken.”
“What?” With the shift of topic, Ye Mo shifted his gaze downward as well. There were demon corpses everywhere, but each of them had a massive hole on their chest with black blood pouring out.
“What happened?” Ye Mo asked. “Someone stole them from right under our noses?”
Ye Mo landed on the ground. After looking around, he found that the demonic cores had indeed all been plucked out.
“I think so. For this mission, we have to submit the demonic cores as proof of completion,” Miao Miao frowned. “Now that they’ve all been stolen, how are we supposed to turn in our mission?”
There were about 1,000 dead demons here. If someone has an exquisite sword technique, or spear technique, or even saber technique, they would be able to easily pluck out all the demonic cores in the span of several breaths by using some outstanding martial technique.
Apart from the four great demon generals, the others were all between True Energy Realm and Energy Burst Realm.
The demonic core of a True Energy Realm demon could be exchanged for one merit point, the demonic core of a Heaven’s Gate Realm demon for 10, the demonic core of a Heaven’s Strength Realm demon for 100, and the demonic core of an Energy Burst Realm expert for 1,000.
All of these demonic cores would get them at least 20,000 merit points, enough for them to exchange for a Spirit Weapon at the Spirit Treasure Hall.
“Don’t worry. Look at this!” Ye Mo took out three demonic cores from his dimensional bracelet. They were the demonic cores of Mo Jiao, Mo Yan, and Mo Wuwang. All three were Spirit Devour Realm demonic cores.
“Haha, with these three demonic cores, we can get 30,000 merit points.” Miao Miao laughed. “More than all these other cores combined. Let’s go, time to turn in the mission.”
