Chapter 72 He kissed Karin's lips fiercely.
Huali was immersed in a sea of knowledge all day long, which was more tiring than fighting a war.
In addition, the room Wen Jin prepared for her was full of high-end amenities; just lying on the quilt felt like lying in a soft marshmallow.
She already has high sleep quality; the moment her head hits the pillow, she falls completely unconscious.
In her dream, she was sitting on a pile of gems when she saw Wen Jin instantly transform into a domineering CEO, waving his hand and telling her that she could take any spirit stones and treasures she wanted.
Karin chuckled in her sleep, "This is so embarrassing..."
Wen Jin paused in pulling at the veil, his pale golden pupils looking suspiciously at the sleeping girl.
Her breathing and heartbeat indicated that she was fast asleep.
Just as he was about to continue what he was doing, he heard Huali murmur again, "Wen Jin...you're so kind..."
The Demon Lord's pale golden pupils contracted, and the fingertips hovering over the edge of the veil turned white from the force.
Without a second's hesitation, Meng Zhonghuali pulled out her Qiankun bag and started stuffing things in. "Wen Jin, you're so kind! Then I won't be polite!!!"
The Demon Lord lowered his eyes to look at this person who could disturb his mind with just a few words of rambling in his sleep, and his killing intent slowly flowed.
The nineteenth sunset brushed over Huali's eyelashes; he was so close he could even smell the fragrance of pear blossoms on the girl.
More than murderous intent was an unknown craving and desire; Wen Jin closed his eyes in unbearable urge.
Time and time again, time and time again!
Ever since he discovered that she could affect his heart, Wen Jin felt murderous intent rising again and again, but his heart gradually became sour and painful in this murderous intent.
How ridiculous! Even her name is fake.
The girl in front of me seemed to be having a beautiful dream; her eyelashes trembled as she murmured to herself again.
As if bewitched, Wen Jin slowly bent down.
The sweet scent of pear blossoms wafted into their nostrils, their noses separated only by a veil.
Huali's warm breath brushed against Wen Jin's lips through the veil, like a feather gently falling on his heart.
"Wen Jin...you're such a good person..."
The murmured words were like a thunderclap. Wen Jin's pupils contracted slightly. He suddenly stood up, and in his haste, he tore half of the bed curtains.
Unaware of anything amiss, Huali rolled over on the bed and continued dreaming of getting rich quick.

As dusk settled, light bathed half of the young demon lord's body. His face was obscured by the shifting light and shadow, making his expression unreadable. After a long silence, he suddenly let out a sneer.
"Oh."
The next second, he raised his gloomy, obsessive eyes, his five fingers forming claws, and instantly pierced his own chest.
The sound of tearing fabric startled the demonic crows on the withered tree, and Wen Jin let the scalding blood drip down his fingers.
His pupils held a darkness deeper than dusk.
"Since it hurts, let it hurt even more."
"Since the heart is impure, then crush the bones and start over."
Amidst the excruciating pain, Wen Jin arched his neck, his Adam's apple drawing a sharp arc in the blood, yet a low laugh escaped his throat.
He was going to bind this heart with layers of shackles.
No one can be his weakness.

When Huali woke up, she opened her eyes groggily and found that the spirit stones she had stored all night had disappeared.
It took her three seconds to accept the fact that she had gone from a rich woman to a beggar. "Ao Bai, what time is it?"
Ao Bai was staring blankly at the bed curtains. Could it be that he had caught them while sleepwalking and doing parkour in the middle of the night?
"Nine o'clock the next morning."
Karin stretched and got up.
Fortunately, she had Ao Bai as a cheat code, otherwise she wouldn't even know the time.
After organizing the draft, Huali quickly began her day's assembly line work.
This Five Elements Nourishing Qi Array gave her some inspiration.
Since the plants are unable to sprout because of the demonic energy of Sunset City, perhaps she could use the Five Elements to cultivate her vital energy.
The problem is that this thing seems simple, but it is actually difficult to operate.
In the fantasy world, humans, demons, monsters, and immortals all cultivate by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to awaken their spiritual roots.
Most of them have a single spiritual root, and the occasional dual spiritual root is extremely rare.
Therefore, the five spiritual roots are extremely rare.
The author of this Five Elements Nourishing Energy Array must have been a person with five spiritual roots, as he emphasized using the five elements to reconstruct the energy cycle.
But it was all just theory. Hua Li wanted to ask Wen Jin, but after going around in circles, she still couldn't find him.
Seeing Taku pass by around the corner from afar, Huali stood on tiptoe and called out, but Taku turned around and left as if he had seen a ghost.
Huali: "..." Her heart was broken by this cold and heartless world.
*
The sun sets and the cycle repeats itself, and Huali works for two days straight.
However, for some reason, he still couldn't get the hang of it.
Moreover, she strongly suspected that Wen Jin was forming cliques and isolating her.
Otherwise, how could we not have seen a single person for two whole days?
Place the five cards around the pit, and then scatter the seeds inside to quickly manipulate the cards.
Metal-Water-Wood-Fire-Earth
As the five cards emitted light in turn, the seed broke through the soil and sprouted two tender green buds.
Huali's eyes lit up, but before she could be happy, the seeds, just like the previous dozen or so times, visibly faded and withered.
She felt a sharp pain in her chest and suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Each card draw consumes her life points, but with only one day left until the mission deadline, she simply cannot stop.
Karin shook her dizzy head and repeated the steps above, failing again as expected.
Her face was already turning pale, but she still couldn't resist spewing profanities at the headquarters system and its ancestors for eight generations.
Suddenly, Ao Bai looked down at the ground with sharp eyes and said, "Host, look at your blood."
Huali turned her head and saw that the originally faded buds were showing signs of turning green, but they still withered and died in the end.
"Could it be that my method is wrong?" But if it's wrong, leaves shouldn't have grown.
"Perhaps it's not being done the conventional way?" Ao Bai thought for a moment.
Huali's eyes lit up instantly. That's right, how come she didn't think of that?
Since the Five Elements Nourishing Qi Formation doesn't work with the standard Five Elements, she can try the reverse Five Elements.
She reconstructed the energy cycle by utilizing the five elements' mutual restraint, tore open a gap in spiritual energy within the demonic energy, and then used her own blood as a medium for transformation.
"Does Ao Bai still have any offspring?"
“Zhang Dezhu gave us all of them, and this is one left from the ones that slipped through the net before.”
Huali took the seeds and rolled up her sleeves again.
Earth-Fire-Wood-Water-Metal, they clash and break boundaries.
The moment the light array was formed, a gust of wind swept in, and the veil on Huali's face was unexpectedly blown off by the wind.
Unaware of her surroundings, she watched as the seed emitting a bluish light sprouted from the soil in the pit and grew into a rose bush three zhang tall in the blink of an eye.
The sharp thorn pierced the palm of the rosewood tree, and suddenly a bright red flower bloomed.
Huali's eyes lit up, but before she could even feel happy, she spat out another mouthful of blood.
The scene before my eyes became bizarre and surreal.
Wen Jin, who was resting with his eyes closed in the hall, suddenly opened his eyes when he sensed Hua Li's aura, and his figure flashed into the courtyard.
He had barely stood still when he heard the girl call his name with a voice full of joy and surprise.
"Wen Jin, look, I've grown flowers."
Wen Jin suddenly looked up.
On the barren land of Sunset City, Huali stood under a tree full of roses, her eyes bright. As soon as she saw him, she raised the flowers in her hand and ran towards him.
The falling petals resembled an endless summer rain.
The wind blew up the flower branches behind her, and stray hairs clung to her flawless, porcelain-white face.
Wen Jin's pupils shrank to pinpoints, as if he could truly hear the sound of the pattering rain.
His eyes shifted repeatedly, and as the shackles on his heart broke, he suddenly stepped forward.
He raised his arm and pulled the girl who was running towards him, then kissed her lips fiercely.
