Huo Fei distributed the food to everyone, then took a closer look at Luo Mang's hut. Seeing that the demonic aura emanating from the hut had intensified, he nodded secretly, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

It seems this giant snake is quite diligent; in just a few days, its demonic power has grown even stronger. His good intentions haven't been in vain. This morning, while reciting scriptures, he secretly added a few Buddhist mantras to the text. These mantras, to a certain extent, can draw upon merit.

By using merit to draw upon the essence of the moon, cultivation becomes twice as effective with half the effort.

Fortunately, Luo Mang didn't know what Huo Fei had secretly done. If he had known, he would have wanted to kill him.

Damn it, he said that the essence of the sun and moon entering his body today was even more than yesterday, almost making his demon core burst.

Yesterday, he absorbed the essence of the sun and moon for an hour and only needed half a day to straighten it out. But today... it took him a whole day to calm down the meridians that had swelled up from the essence of the sun and moon.

For two consecutive days, he absorbed more essence of the sun and moon into his body than he would in a year...

Fortunately, he never neglected his cultivation, and his demonic energy remained stable. If it were someone else, they would probably be thanking Buddha long ago.

Let's leave aside how heartbroken Luo Mang was for now.

Huo Fei left, pondering his thoughts as he walked.

He placed the spider demon next to Luo Mang after careful consideration.

In the entire prison, only Luo Mang possessed the demon core. Although the spider demon's cultivation level was not very high, the silk it spun was highly aggressive and extremely difficult to deal with.

The prison's array can only prevent them from escaping, but it cannot prevent the demon's natal weapon. Other demons who have lost their demon cores are probably no match for her. Only Luo Mang, who still possesses cultivation, can suppress her.

Given the brutality of this female demon's crime scene, the Special Security Bureau could have easily taken humane measures to euthanize her without sending her to prison for rehabilitation. The reason she was sent here was because someone pleaded for her, and it was her first offense.

The reason for the crime is heartbreaking and brings tears to the eyes of those who hear it. But no matter the reason, murder is murder.

I only hope that she can reform herself and erase the hatred in her heart, so that all that man's efforts will not have been in vain.

As night insects chirped, the grass swayed in the wind, stars twinkled in the dark sky, and the earth awoke from its slumber.

Inside the zoo, the staff had long since gone home, leaving behind a group of unusual creatures circling under the moonlight.

The zoo was unusually noisy tonight, with hoarse cries echoing from the predator enclosure, like nighttime demons, sending chills down the spines of all the monsters.

Silver Ring puffed out its cheeks, swallowed a piece of food with difficulty, then swished its tail, ran to the iron gate, and craned its neck to peek outside.

"Brother, how long is that spider going to keep crying? My eardrums are hurting from the noise," Silver Ring said, somewhat displeased.

This new demon is too good at howling! Look, even the big leopard next door is being driven crazy by her screams, covering its ears with its paws. If she keeps yelling like this, none of us will be able to sleep tonight.

Isn't it good to be pampered with good food and drink? Why should you be treated so sadly?

Silver Ring couldn't really understand these demons imprisoned in jail. They all wanted to escape; the outside world was nowhere near as peaceful as this. Not only did they have to fight for territory all day long, but they also had to hunt for their own animals… just thinking about it was exhausting.

Prison is better. There's food, drink, and someone to take care of you... It's like living in paradise.

"Never mind her, come and eat. After you're done, go for a walk in the cage." Luo Mang tore off a piece of meat, moved his snake body, and came to Silver Ring with the meat in his mouth.

Silver Ring tilted her head slightly forward, put the piece of meat in her mouth, and began to eat again.

After swallowing the meat, she flicked her tongue and licked her lips. With a flick of her tail, she said, "Big brother, I seem to have been eating more than usual these past two days."

Luo Mang flicked his tail and compared it to the silver-ringed snake's body: "It should be growing, right?"

Yin Huan's eyes widened in disbelief. She glanced at Luo Mang, then looked down at her own tiny, bean sprout-like body, and exclaimed in astonishment, "I haven't grown in almost three hundred years. Could it be that I'm going through a second growth spurt?"

Luo Mang glanced at the silver ring and said with amusement, "Secondary development? You've never even had one. Any snake you catch would be bigger than you. Eat more, the more you eat, the faster you'll grow."

Silver Ring was swept away by Luo Mang and instantly flipped twice before rolling to a corner next to the iron gate.

Silver Ring's eyes sparkled. She shook the snake's head, got up, and looked at Luo Mang in surprise: "Big Brother, you've gotten stronger again?"

Luo Mang looked at Yin Huan, who was filled with adoration for him: "..."

It does seem to have gotten bigger than before.

Seemingly remembering something, a look of surprise flashed in Luo Mang's eyes. Then he nodded to Yin Huan: "Yes, you should intensify your training, and your strength will be as great as mine in the future."

It seems that the suffering of the past two days was not in vain. Although being infused with the essence of the sun and moon was extremely painful, the bitterness will eventually give way to sweetness, and the harvest will follow.

Moreover, he wasn't the only one who changed. Even Yin Huan underwent a dramatic transformation in just two short days.

Not only did the snake gall bladder change, but its appetite also increased.

Huo Fei's Buddhist teachings had a great influence on Yin Huan, so it seems there's no need to rush to leave the prison.

Silver Ring puffed out its chest and proudly flicked its tongue: "I've always been very strong."

She felt utterly useless, the only thing she could boast about was her strength. After all, she had even managed to sever her eldest brother's tail, and that alone was something she could be proud of for the rest of her life.

Luo Mang nodded in agreement with Yin Huan, then tore off another piece of meat and tossed it to her.

Yin Huan didn't stand on ceremony; she simply raised her head and took it.

After the brother and sister finished eating, they prepared to go out for some fresh air in the cage.
