A glint of golden light abruptly appeared before the massive maw!
The golden light plunged into the giant mouth, and streaks of gold immediately intermingled with the black-green energy.
The Boss felt confused.
The golden light had appeared too suddenly.
He hadn't detected any fluctuations in true qi.
What was happening?!
Before he could comprehend, he horrifyingly discovered that his connection to the demonic energy had been severed!
And the massive maw, condensed from demonic energy, was turning to fly towards him!
In the blink of an eye, it had completely transformed into pure gold!
By the time the Boss snapped back to his senses and attempted to defend himself, it was already too late...
"Rumble—!"
The golden maw swallowed the Boss, creating a pit more than a foot deep in the ground.
The immense commotion alerted Ye Fan and the others, and they followed the sound.
They then saw the suspicious individual from before lying on the verge of death in the pit.
"So pitiful," Liang Rujing chuckled at the cultivator that the Boss had transformed into. "Were you attacked by a demonic beast again?"
The Boss's heart lurched violently...
He knew he had kicked a steel plate this time...
How utterly ridiculous!
He himself was a cultivator at the tenth level of the Nascent Soul stage!
Why were there such powerful individuals among these cultivators this time!
Liang Dekuai, you conniving bastard!!!
The four of them arrived at the center of the pit and gathered around the Boss, observing him with imposing gazes.
The Boss dared not speak, trembling fearfully...
Weak, pitiful, and helpless.gif...
"Look, scales are appearing on his face," Liang Rujing said excitedly, pointing at the Boss's face. "He really is suspicious!"
"But he does look quite pathetic like this..." Liang Rujing paused at this point.
She seemed to be pondering something.
The Boss's heart leaped with joy!
This human looked rather foolish.
If he appeared more pitiful, perhaps she would let him go!
As long as he could return to his lair, he would be invincible!
When they moved on, he could then exact his revenge!
With this thought, the cultivator the Boss had transformed into immediately put on a pitiful expression.
He even squeezed out a few drops of tears.
See how pitiful I am, right?
Hurry up and leave, please leave!
Wishful thinking was pleasant.
Reality, however, was cruel.
"He looks increasingly pathetic," Liang Rujing's gaze became incredibly firm. "Shall we just kill him?"
The Boss: ...
Is there something wrong with you!
Is this a normal person's thought process???
The two senior sisters looked at Ye Fan, implicitly asking him to make the decision.
"You decide," Ye Fan said indifferently.
"This demonic beast definitely intended to harm us earlier. If we just let him go..." the second senior sister, Zi Qing, was a bit conflicted.
"We should forgive those who can be forgiven," the eldest senior sister, Zi Bing, spoke, her tone still cool and detached. "Junior Sister, give him some healing elixirs."
Zi Qing was clearly puzzled but obediently took out a porcelain bottle.
"Wait a moment," Zi Bing stopped her. "Not that kind, the ones the Second Elder gave us earlier."
"Ah?" Zi Qing was clearly taken aback. "Senior Sister, didn't you just say we should forgive...?"
Before she could finish, Zi Qing fell silent.
Right!
It was true that we should forgive those who can be forgiven.
But the fellow in the pit wasn't human at all!
Having realized this, Zi Qing cheerfully took out another large porcelain bottle.
It was filled to the brim with the 'immortal' elixirs refined by the Second Elder!
Ye Fan looked at Zi Bing with surprise.
In Ye Fan's memory, Zi Qing had always been a reserved type.
She rarely spoke, and when she did, it was in a cool, detached manner.
In short, she never seemed like someone who would say such things.
However, when he thought about his unreliable master, Ye Fan felt it was not entirely inexplicable.
True Master Ziyun often enjoyed extorting people and kicking them while they were down.
The two senior sisters had been under his tutelage for so long...
It could only be described in one way.
The disciples had successfully absorbed the essence of their master!
"I'll do it! I'll do it!" Liang Rujing became excited, offering to feed the demonic beast herself.
Zi Qing chuckled and handed her the porcelain bottle. "Feed him a lot, a lot."
Her expression clearly indicated a "the more the merrier" attitude.
The Boss completely panicked...
From the conversation, he understood that the contents of the porcelain bottle were definitely not good!
No!
I don't want to eat it!
Don't come here!!!
Unfortunately, he was severely injured and completely defenseless...
"Good boy, open your mouth," Liang Rujing said with a devilish grin. "You'll get better after eating the medicine."
The Boss, unable to move, could only desperately refuse with his eyes.
Liang Rujing picked up a dark pill and tried to force it into the Boss's mouth.
But it didn't go in...
The Boss's mouth was clamped shut too tightly.
Liang Rujing casually flipped her hand and took out a small dagger from her spatial ring.
"You're not being a good boy like this," she said as she used the dagger to pry open the Boss's mouth. "Really, how can you get better without medicine..."
Two minutes later.
The dagger was bent, and she still couldn't pry open the Boss's mouth.
"Ye Fan..." Liang Rujing turned to Ye Fan for help, her face filled with distress.
[No problem, leave it to me!]
Ye Fan said nothing, but the system spoke up.
And its tone sounded very excited.
Amidst the excitement, there was a hint of something perverse...
A flash of golden light streaked past.
"Crack—!"
The Boss's mouth was forcefully opened.
Some bone fragments even fell to the ground from the corners of his mouth...
"It's open, it's open!" Liang Rujing shouted excitedly and shoved the black pill into the Boss's mouth.
The elixir dissolved instantly upon entering his mouth.
A faint fragrance mixed with the taste in the Boss's mouth and finally formed a unique, strange odor.
Everyone quickly covered their noses.
The smell was too strong...
The Boss became extremely nervous, sensing that something terrible was about to happen to him.
A few breaths later, the Boss was stunned again.
He felt no discomfort whatsoever.
And the pain from his injuries was indeed lessening!
Liang Rujing continued to feed him medicine with great enthusiasm.
From one or two pills at first, to pouring the whole bottle later.
As the Boss realized his injuries were truly healing, he cooperated by opening his mouth a little wider.
He even chewed a few times occasionally.
Everything seemed perfectly normal...
Two minutes later, ten empty large porcelain bottles lay on the ground.
The Boss looked rosy-cheeked, as if he was completely fine.
"I... I'm well..." he said weakly. "You don't need to feed me anymore... Thank you..."
Because at this moment, the demonic energy within him was clearly a little too abundant, even feeling a bit 'stuffed'.
He feared that if he ate any more, he would explode and die...
In the brief moment it took him to say these two sentences, his physical condition changed again.
Agonizing pain struck without warning, contorting his face in agony.
It felt as if someone had plunged an iron rod into his belly and was violently churning his internal organs!
All his bones seemed to be shattering, emitting faint cracking sounds.
"No, you need it!" Liang Rujing extended her hand to the second senior sister.
She had been wondering why the pills had only good effects, but now things were back to normal!
If you intended to harm us, could we easily let you go?
Just eat your medicine obediently!
"No, no, I really... don't need it," the Boss gritted his teeth, pleading with difficulty.
"No, you need it!" The second senior sister, Zi Qing, took out another bottle produced by the Second Elder and placed it in Liang Rujing's hand.
"I... I really don't need it anymore..." the Boss was on the verge of a breakdown.
"Trust me," the eldest senior sister, Zi Bing, glanced at him indifferently. "You, need it!"
Seeing Liang Rujing thrust the medicine bottle towards him again, the Boss desperately shut his mouth.
[Eat your medicine obediently!]
A golden light flashed, and the Boss once again lost control of his mouth...
