"Old Zhao, you're so knowledgeable, can you figure out what's going on?" With Yu Xian'er's comfort, Shen Lang gradually calmed down and asked Zhao Wuji's soul.
There are only two possibilities.
First, this child has awakened a demonic cultivation physique, and a very strong one at that.
Secondly, a powerful demonic entity is trying to possess the child.
Zhao Wuji replied.
"Which possibility do you think is more likely?" Shen Lang pressed.
Zhao Wuji shook his head: "I don't know."
If Zhao Wuji hadn't met Bai Qi, he would definitely have chosen the first option. But since meeting Bai Qi, he felt that nothing was impossible on this blue planet. Therefore, he dared not make a decision.
Suddenly, the demonic energy surrounding the meditation room seemed to be absorbed by the room and disappeared in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, the stone door to the seclusion chamber opened, and Dongxue was the first to walk out.
Upon seeing Shen Lang, Dongxue asked in surprise, "Young Master, when did you return?"
Shen Lang said with a gloomy expression, "It's been a while. What happened in the secluded cultivation room? Why is there such a strong demonic aura?"
"What demonic energy? There isn't any." Dongxue replied, "The four of us just protected Shiya and completed the marrow cleansing and meridian purification. Nothing happened."
"Are you sure?" Shen Lang asked.
Dongxue nodded: "However, Shiya's awakened physique is quite special, with a ring of black aura around her that we can't distinguish."
Hearing Dongxue's reply, Shen Lang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where is Shiya?" Shen Lang asked.
"Spring Rain and the others are giving Shiya a bath," Winter Snow replied.
Upon hearing this, Shen Lang entered the secluded training room.
Yu Xian'er and Shuang'er followed them inside.
Upon entering the secluded training room, they found that Qin Shiya had already fainted and was lying in a wooden tub.
Spring Rain, Summer Sun, Autumn Leaves – the three sisters are washing the stains off her body.
Shen Lang used the system to check Qin Shiya's information and found that she had not been possessed, but had awakened the Demonic Cultivation Saint Body, the Heavenly Demon Body.
"How could Shiya awaken the Demonic Holy Body?" Shen Lang frowned as he looked at Qin Shiya in the wooden tub.
"Husband, how is the situation?" Yu Xian'er asked with concern.
Shen Lang said, "It's alright, Shi Ya has awakened the Demonic Saint Body, the Heavenly Demon Body."
"That's good." Yu Xian'er breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Qin Shiya was alright, Shuang'er hopped over to the wooden tub and reached up to climb onto Qin Shiya's breasts: "Young Master, Shiya has gotten bigger! Does eating a Marrow Cleansing Pill make you bigger? Why don't you give me one too?"
Shen Lang glanced at her speechlessly: "You're already big enough, any bigger and you'll burst."
Shuang'er pouted and looked down at her high place, then pinched it with her hand: "Okay."
"This girl." Yu Xian'er shook her head helplessly.
After what happened yesterday, Shuang'er seemed to have discovered a whole new world.
Seeing that Qin Shiya was alright, Shen Lang and the others left the secluded training room with peace of mind.
"Old Zhao." Inside the room, Shen Lang called out to Zhao Wuji.
Zhao Wuji hurriedly floated to Shen Lang's side: "What are your orders?"
Shen Lang said to Zhao Wuji, "I've found you a decent body. You can possess it in four days."
Zhao Wuji shook his head: "No, no, I'm afraid of being attacked by the Heavenly Dao. I am currently just a soul body, and if I am attacked by the Heavenly Dao, I will probably be completely destroyed."
Shen Lang laughed and said, "Don't worry, his body was traded to me. When the time comes, you can just possess it without any backlash."
"Really?" Zhao Wuji asked, half believing and half doubting.
Shen Lang rolled his eyes at him: "What good would it do me to kill you?"
"That's true." Zhao Wuji thought about it and realized that his death would indeed not do Shen Lang any good.
“But you should know that there’s no such thing as a free lunch.” Shen Lang gave Zhao Wuji a kind smile.
Zhao Wuji understood Shen Lang's meaning perfectly well. The moment Shen Lang first mentioned rebirth to him, he knew exactly what he should do from now on.
Zhao Wuji immediately knelt on one knee, bowed his head respectfully, and said, "Your subordinate Zhao Wuji is willing to submit to Young Master Shen, to be his slave for all eternity, and never to betray him."
Shen Lang laughed and said, "Words are no proof."
Then a contract appeared in front of Zhao Wuji.
Zhao Wuji took the contract and directly infused a wisp of his soul essence into it.
"This old servant, Zhao Wuji, greets the young master."
The emperor became a slave, and the contract was formed.
Shen Lang gave Zhao Wuji a satisfied look and said nothing more.
At this moment, several uninvited guests arrived at Baiyun Manor.
“Husband, Lord Wu’an is here.” Shuang’er walked up to Shen Lang and said with a solemn expression, “He is most likely here because of Shi Ya’s Heavenly Demon Body.”
"Please invite Lord Wu'an over," Shen Lang said.
Before long, Bai Qi, led by Shuang'er, arrived in front of Shen Lang.
"Lord Wu'an!" Shen Lang bowed respectfully.
Bai Qi said, "Bai Qi was ordered by His Majesty to come and investigate the source of the demonic energy. Please forgive me for finding Young Master Shen's Baiyun Manor."
Shen Lang laughed and said, "It's alright. Lord Wu'an has guarded the Qinling Mountains for thousands of years, so he naturally has the right to inquire about all matters, big and small, in this Qin region."
Then he asked Shuang'er, "Shuang'er, how is Shiya?"
Shuang'er said, "Dongxue has already taken Shiya back to her room to rest."
"Then let's go, let's take Lord Wu'an to see him."
Then, led by Shen Lang, Bai Qi accompanied him to Qin Shiya's room. At this time, the four sisters, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, were taking care of the unconscious Qin Shiya.
When Bai Qi saw Qin Shiya lying on the bed, he immediately recognized her as the source of the demonic energy.
"If she has demonic energy, why is she human?" Bai Qi looked at Qin Shiya carefully and muttered to himself in confusion.
Shen Lang explained to him, "Lord Wu'an, my wife has simply awakened a special cultivation system. She is neither a member of the demonic path nor a demon seed."
"In that case, Bai Qi will return to report." Bai Qi nodded and returned the greeting to Shen Lang with a cupped-hand salute.
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Qi's figure quickly disappeared from Baiyun Manor.
Inside the palace, Ying Zheng sat on the dragon throne, holding a round panda cub in his hands.
Below Ying Zheng was Meng Xi, the patriarch of the Meng family, and dozens of middle-aged people.
These people included men and women, young and old. Some wore coarse linen clothes, some wore fine silks and satins, and some wore expensive suits. If there were any ancient martial arts masters present, they would surely recognize that everyone sitting in this hall was a peak-level expert.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the dragon throne and teasing the panda cub.
At this moment, a guard came in to report: "Your Majesty, Lord Wu'an has returned."
Ying Zheng placed the panda cub on the table and said, "Summon it."
After Bai Qi entered the main hall, the people below bowed and said, "Greetings, Lord Wu'an."
Bai Qi looked around and nodded, then walked straight to Ying Zheng's feet, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, the source of the demonic energy has been identified. It is one of Shen Lang's concubines who has awakened a demonic cultivation physique. She is neither a member of the demonic path nor a demon seed."
Upon hearing Bai Qi's report, Ying Zheng laughed and said, "This lad is quite lucky."
Then Ying Zheng said to the eunuch beside him, "Go to the storehouse and select a scroll of demonic cultivation techniques and send it to Baiyun Manor."
"Yes!" The eunuch slowly withdrew.
