Seeing that Baili Chengfeng really didn't plan to go with her, Jiang Deng asked in confusion: "Huh? Why?"
Baili Chengfeng said seriously, "They can't find the real culprit who looted the warehouse, so it's easy for them to suspect you. I have to take the blame, so that I can dispel their suspicions about you."
Jiang Deng was stunned, "But...what are you going to do?"
Baili Chengfeng smiled and said, "After all, I am still the master of the Ancient Spirit Realm. They dare not do anything to me. If they really start to fight, I can just leave."
"Okay, don't worry about me, I'm fine."
As he spoke, Baili Chengfeng directly cast a teleportation spell, preparing to teleport Jiang Deng back to her own room so as not to attract other people's attention.
"Ride the wind..."
Under the effect of the teleportation spell, Jiang Deng's figure gradually became invisible. She stared at Baili Chengfeng's familiar face, and her heart suddenly felt like it was blocked by a ball of cotton.
"Jiang Deng, I hope you can come to visit the Ancient Spiritual Realm soon."
Baili Chengfeng smiled and waved at Jiang Deng, "I'm waiting for the day when you can support me."
Jiang Deng: “…”
Looking at Baili Chengfeng's smiling face, Jiang Deng felt uncomfortable for some reason, as if his conscience, which had been lost for a long time, suddenly began to hurt.
Why would this fool be willing to be used by her?
She had originally prepared to seal her heart and lock away her love, but why did it seem to be thawing again...
A red light flashed!
Jiang Deng then disappeared into the ruined palace.
When Jiang Deng opened her eyes again, she found that Baili Chengfeng had disappeared in front of her, and she returned to her room in the Human Emperor Palace.
"call!"
Jiang Deng let out a breath. After what she had experienced that night, her mood was very complicated.
But she only hesitated for a moment and immediately became determined.
The most urgent task is to get rid of the three apprentices according to the plan, and the rest can be dealt with later.
Anyway, as long as I get my revenge sooner, everything else will be easy!
Thinking of this, Jiang Deng hurriedly took out the treasure he had looted from the warehouse, the Spirit Fruit that could increase spiritual awareness.
The spiritual fruit is bright red and exudes an alluring fragrance, tempting people to swallow it.
Jiang Deng pondered secretly.
She is still in the Nascent Soul stage and only has spiritual consciousness, which has not yet transformed into divine consciousness.
Generally speaking, only those in the Spirit Transformation Realm can possess divine consciousness. Divine consciousness is stronger than spiritual consciousness and covers a wider area. I wonder if eating this Spiritual Enhancement Fruit can transform her spiritual consciousness into divine consciousness?
Jiang Deng gritted his teeth and decided to fight it out!
“Crack!”
Jiang Deng took a bite and with a few crunches, he completely swallowed the Spiritual Fruit.
“Hmm!”
As soon as the Spirit-enhancing Fruit entered his abdomen, a strong force rushed straight into Jiang Deng's sea of consciousness, and intense pain immediately hit him.
Jiang Deng fell to the ground in pain. She covered her head and tried her best to resist the pain that almost burst her sea of consciousness.
Only by refining all the energy of the Spirit-Enhancing Fruit can her spiritual consciousness be transformed into divine consciousness!
In order to increase her chances of winning as much as possible in the next battle, she must do this!
"Jiang Deng, you're going to die!"
Because of the contractual relationship, Asu also felt Jiang Deng's pain, and then realized that something was wrong, and immediately woke up from seclusion.
Seeing Jiang Deng rolling on the ground in pain, Ah Tu said in disbelief, "You're only at the Nascent Soul stage, and you dare to eat a Heavenly Grade Spirit Fruit?"
Jiang Deng gritted his teeth and said, "I want to become stronger..."
"I'm really impressed by you."
Although she said this, Asu still took the initiative to help Jiang Deng bear the pain of the sea of consciousness. However, she was not as patient as Jiang Deng and kept screaming.
“Ahhh! It hurts so much, ahhhh——”
——
"well……"
In the ruined palace.
Baili Chengfeng sighed softly, his eyes filled with disappointment, "Jiang Deng...when can you come find me?"
There were weeds growing not far away.
An eye with double pupils was staring at the place where Jiang Deng disappeared without blinking. It seemed that it had appeared here a long time ago and heard the conversation between Jiang Deng and Baili Chengfeng clearly.
After the ginger lamp disappeared, it did not linger any longer and disappeared as well.
Soon, Wang Chuan and other guards successfully found the dilapidated palace where Jiang Deng and Baili Chengfeng had been hiding.
To their surprise, Baili Chengfeng was the only one here.
Wang Chuan looked at Baili Chengfeng warily, "Lord Baili, why are you not practicing in your own palace so late at night? What are you doing out here?"
Baili Chengfeng coughed lightly and said with poor acting skills: "Oh, you guys discovered this."
"Discover?"
After being reminded, Wang Chuan immediately reacted and said in disbelief: "You stole everything in the warehouse?"
"Yes, that's me."
Baili Chengfeng nodded and agreed.
Wang Chuan: “…”
Normally, shouldn't he have denied it? The fact that this Baili Territory Lord admitted it so quickly felt like something was fishy.
"Tell your Human Emperor that I've borrowed the items from the warehouse. If he still wants them, he can go directly to my Ancient Spirit Realm and ask for them. I'm always here to help! Hahaha!"
After saying that, Baili Chengfeng tore the space apart. As he stepped into the crack, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
The first thing Baili Chengfeng did after returning to the Ancient Spirit Realm was to rub his stiff face and say with a firm expression, "My acting skills should be very good, right? They must have believed it, right?"
——
Lin Jun's bedroom.
After wearing the Qingxin Poye Talisman, Lin Jun's inner demons never came out to disturb him again.
However, he chose not to use the cultivation he had accumulated in his previous life, but simply absorbed the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth. His cultivation progressed very slowly for a while, or rather, this was the normal speed.
"Report!"
Wu Dan's voice rang out from outside the door, "Your Majesty, this is bad!"
Lin Jun impatiently stopped practicing, slowly opened his eyes and said, "Don't you know that you can't disturb me when I'm practicing?"
"But, Your Majesty, the treasury was robbed! All the gifts sent by the various forces in the ten regions to the ceremony are gone!"
"What?!"
Lin Jun was also shocked.
He stood up suddenly, strode to the door, opened it, looked at Wu Dan outside, and asked in a deep voice, "Who did it?"
Wu Dan replied, "Uh... I heard it was the Lord of Baili Territory. He said he borrowed something from the warehouse. If you, Human Emperor, want it, go to the Ancient Spirit Territory and ask for it."
Lin Jun didn't say anything. He pondered for a moment and said, "No, he didn't steal the things from the warehouse."
Wu Dan asked tentatively, "Then, Your Majesty, who do you suspect stole it?"
Lin Jun didn't say anything.
He recalled how Baili Chengfeng had cared about Jiang Deng during the day, and since he knew Jiang Deng's bad temper and greed for money very well, he vaguely understood something.
"Oh, you dare to steal from me?"
Lin Jun sneered and ordered, "Go, take your men and follow me."
