Chapter 396: Demon Ha Li, Young Master Blood Corpse

The Demon Fiend in the light blue dress was Yaya, the one from the pavilion before.

Standing beside Yaya was a Demon Fiend in a pink dress.

Honglan Fairy!

In terms of looks and bearing, both Yaya and Honglan were quite remarkable.

But comparatively speaking, Honglan Fairy was a cut above.

Honglan Fairy’s gaze followed the direction Yaya was pointing, landing on a young child.

The young child had a handsome face and an otherworldly aura. It had to be said that, setting aside his Cultivation Realm, this Grey Rat had something going for him.

But at this moment, he was just standing there in a daze, lost in thought.

“Don’t tell me he’s been scared witless!?”

Yaya giggled.

Of course, Yaya was only joking.

Those who became Demon Fiends might not have been exceptionally powerful, but their mental fortitude would certainly be sound.

At least…

A scene like the one moments ago was not enough to frighten a Demon Fiend to that degree.

Honglan Fairy looked at Xu Chang’an, smiling without a word.

“Honglan, should we go over and tease him!?”

Yaya proposed.

Honglan gave Yaya a meaningful look.

“What? Yaya, are you interested in him?”

“How could that be?”

Yaya immediately retorted.

“If I were looking for a Dao Companion, he’d have to be at least Shangyang Level. This Grey Rat, at his measly Refining Void Realm, doesn’t even make the cut!”

Yaya thumped her chest, making it bounce.

“If you’re not interested, then let’s not waste our time.”

Honglan Fairy said faintly.

Although they were female Demon Fiends with remarkable auras and held certain advantages in some situations…

…when core interests were at stake, their looks and bearing offered no real benefit.

Thus, finding a suitable and desirable Dao Companion was of the utmost importance!

Unfortunately…

The Demon Race was pragmatic!

The higher one’s Realm, the broader one’s horizons.

The factors they considered also grew increasingly complex.

With their looks and bearing, it wasn’t hard to get close to high-level Demon Fiends of the Iron-Cracking or Shangyang Level.

But those were mostly just flings.

To actually be considered as a Dao Companion was another matter entirely—one of immense difficulty!

‘With my looks and bearing, finding an Iron-Cracking Level Demon Fiend wouldn’t be difficult!’

‘But that’s not what I want!’

‘In the Great Realm, strength is ultimately what speaks loudest!’

‘A Demon Fiend like Grey Rat might have a good aura, but that…’

‘…what use is it!?’

“Honglan Fairy!”

“Honglan Fairy, long time no see!”

Nearby Demon Fiends enthusiastically greeted Honglan Fairy.

Most of them were Void Refining Demon Fiends.

Honglan didn’t put on airs, responding to each of them in turn.

However, she was meticulous in maintaining a certain distance from them.

Yaya glanced back toward the young child, Grey Rat.

‘What a pity! His Cultivation is a bit low!’

Then, without a moment’s hesitation, Yaya followed Honglan Fairy onto the Spiritual Ship.

‘To be fair, that Grey Rat really did have a nice aura!’

‘He was the type who grew more captivating the longer you looked.’

‘If he were an Iron-Cracking Level Demon Fiend, she might have actually considered him.’

‘But Late-stage Void Refining was truly a bit too low!’

“Look, it’s Honglan Fairy!”

“So beautiful! And who’s that next to her?”

“That’s Yaya!”

“She has a great aura, too!”

“Haha, not bad, right!”

“…”

Yaya could faintly hear the Demon Fiends’ discussions around her.

Even though she wasn’t the main attraction, she thoroughly enjoyed the experience and feeling of just being mentioned by other Demons.

‘If only…’

‘I could stand beside a Shangyang Level…’

‘oh, no, a Ji Meng Level Demon Fiend… to be by his side, to become his Dao Companion… what an experience that would be!’

‘Perhaps that’s all I could ever ask for in this life!’

In mid-air, Xu Chang’an slowly opened his eyes.

‘It seems my strength is still a notch below that of a true Qinyuan Level Demon Fiend.’

Moments ago, Xu Chang’an had been replaying that strike over and over in his mind.

He imagined how he himself would have dealt with it.

He had come to a conclusion: by using every trick he had and unleashing his Divine Techniques, he could withstand the attack.

But he would be injured.

He definitely wouldn’t die, though!

His current Demon Body and Spirit had long ago reached an unbelievably terrifying level!

It was nearly at the pinnacle of a Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure!

Even taking the full brunt of that terrifying attack would not pose a fatal threat to him!

Besides, his Divine Secret Technique would have weakened the power of the attack.

‘I can’t defeat a Qinyuan Level Demon Fiend, but I can easily keep one occupied. And if I wanted to leave, a Qinyuan Level Demon Fiend couldn’t stop me!’

Xu Chang’an now had a much clearer assessment of his own strength.

By now, very few Demon Fiends remained outside the Spiritual Ship.

Xu Chang’an swept the area with his Demon Sense before flying into the Spiritual Ship.

‘If I can break through to the Late-stage Unity! I should be able to crush a Qinyuan Level Demon Fiend!’

The Array Restriction on the Spiritual Ship was clearly extraordinary.

The previous battle had caused no damage to the Spiritual Ship.

HUMMM~

Amid a frantic flashing of light…

…the massive Spiritual Ship set off once more.

Inside the Spiritual Ship, it seemed as if nothing had changed.

However, the recent battle had given many of the Demon Fiends something new to talk about.

They eagerly chatted about their own heroic performances and the spoils they had gained.

Some Demon Fiends returned to their rooms to enter seclusion.

After returning to his room, Xu Chang’an first took stock of his gains.

He hadn’t unleashed his full power in the battle.

He had merely taken the opportunity to snatch a few things.

As a result, his haul wasn’t large.

After devouring all the consumable resources in his Storage Bracelet, he once again entered a state of seclusion.

Bright and Pure Disaster Relief!
