"Could it be that... the devil blood curse still remains in my body, but it is rather hidden and has not yet broken out, so I am unaware of it?" Prince Rui guessed in his heart.
What he didn't know was that there was a fiery red, translucent maple spirit swimming freely in his blood.
This Maple Spirit is the poison of virtual life that Lan Zhi had planted in Prince Rui's body. It has never broken out because the main function of the Maple Spirit is to absorb the vitality in Prince Rui's body. However, as Prince Rui suffered from the devil's blood curse, ate insect eggs, inhaled devilish energy when attacked by devil cultivators, abandoned his old body and gave birth to a new body... the Maple Spirit absorbed many things that should not be absorbed while absorbing Prince Rui's vitality. Therefore, he is no longer pure now, but he remembers Lan Zhi's appearance and his own name clearly because Lan Zhi signed a contract with him. Since the Maple Spirit is in Prince Rui's body, and Prince Rui is a master of Chengyuan realm, the Maple Spirit cannot sense Lan Zhi's location through the contract, but instinctively absorbs Prince Rui's vitality as its own nourishment.
"Ah... Achi..." A faint sound came from the throat of the fiery red and translucent Maple Spirit. This was the name Lan Zhi had given him. He had been in Prince Rui's body for a long time and had developed a certain amount of wisdom and learned the human language. But everything has its pros and cons. Maple Spirit stayed in Prince Rui's body every day, and his thoughts and ideas would naturally be influenced by Prince Rui. Now his three views have long been distorted... To be precise, he himself did not have any three views. Maple Spirits were actually a relatively ferocious race. Whenever someone provoked them, they would change into maple leaves with sharp edges and try to cut humans. It's just that the lifespan of this race was very short, from birth to death, it was only ten days. Everyone thought this was innate, but in fact the lifespan of Maple Spirits was more than ten days. The reason they survived for a short time was because the concentration of spiritual energy in the Great Rui Kingdom was relatively low, and their requirements for the concentration of spiritual energy were very high. In other words, Maple Spirits used spiritual energy as food and had a large appetite. As a result, due to food shortages, most of them would starve to death on the tenth day. If they were given enough food, they could survive forever.
Ah Chi's lifespan had long exceeded ten days. Lan Zhi had originally placed him within Prince Rui's body simply to allow him to absorb his vitality. Over time, Prince Rui would become weak. However, no one knew that Ah Chi's abilities extended far beyond this. Spiritual energy, demonic energy, curses, and many other substances were all his "food." He was even fortunate enough to taste a little of the Demonic Insect King's eggs...
If you eat more food, you will grow naturally.
Ah Chi wanders in Prince Rui's blood every day, and the contours of his facial features have changed unconsciously. He used to look handsome and cute, but now, his eyebrows are sharp and cold, and he is intimidating without being angry, but his eyes are cold and sticky, as if containing the most gloomy malice in the world. Any creature who looks at him will feel uncomfortable.
Two sharp teeth grew in his mouth, somewhat like canine fangs, but much longer than them. The length of these two teeth could be adjusted. Ah Chi swam along the blood vessels for a while, and then seemed to feel bored. He stopped, broke through the blood vessel barrier, and came to Prince Rui's bones. He opened his mouth, and the two canine teeth suddenly transformed into long and sharp fangs. He aimed at Prince Rui's bones and bit down.
At the same time, Prince Rui did not feel any pain, but only felt a little tingling comfort in his bones, and inexplicably wanted to kill someone to cheer himself up.
"No, what's wrong with me?" He had just killed a spy, and it hadn't been long before he wanted to kill again!
Prince Rui had an ugly expression on his face. It wasn't that he felt guilty about killing people, but he hated the feeling of being out of control. Prince Rui simply changed into a coarse linen shirt, and then simply smeared something on his face so that no one could recognize his identity. Then, he nimbly left the palace from the back door, all the way away from the prosperous area of the capital. On the way, he saw a graceful woman on the street. The woman was wearing a light pink long dress. Her appearance was relatively ordinary, but her eyes were particularly charming, rippling with a tenderness like spring water. Prince Rui couldn't help but look at the woman twice more.
Not only Prince Rui, but also the people passing by on the street, both men and women, would involuntarily take a few more glances at the woman in the pink dress.
The woman in the pink dress was strolling on the street. She noticed Prince Rui's gaze and glanced at him casually. Then she couldn't take her eyes off him. It was not because Prince Rui looked handsome after his disguise, but because Prince Rui had vigorous vitality. The woman practiced a special technique that allowed her to draw blood from other people to replenish her own. She could not perceive the fluctuation of spiritual power in Prince Rui and thought that Prince Rui was just an ordinary person. She was slightly surprised and a little sorry, because she felt that Prince Rui must be born with vigorous blood and vitality. Such people are most suitable for cultivation. However, judging from Prince Rui's dress, he was probably a poor commoner who did not practice any technique and wasted his blood and vitality. Now it just happened to be a good thing for her.
A smile appeared on the face of the woman in the pink dress, and her eyes were looking around with endless charm as she stared straight at Prince Rui.
Prince Rui had only casually glanced at it, but the next moment he felt a strange and tiny spiritual power invading his mind.
Prince Rui was slightly taken aback. Then he pretended to be bewitched and stared blankly at the woman in the pink dress.
The woman in the pink dress opened her red lips and said, "Follow me."
"good……"
Prince Rui followed her all the way to a quiet alley. There were almost no people in the alley. The woman in pink skirt lived in a small courtyard at the innermost side of the alley. Spiritual herbs were planted in the courtyard. There was also a formation around the spiritual herbs to block the smell and fluctuations of the spiritual herbs. The courtyard was very clean. The woman in pink skirt opened the door of her boudoir and let Prince Rui go in first. Then she closed the door and took off her outer skirt as she walked.
A playful smile appeared on Prince Rui's face.
He is not a man who knows how to be gentle with women.
Originally, he planned to leave the capital, find an ordinary village, and massacre the entire village to relieve his inner restlessness. Who would have thought that he would meet a daring woman halfway who tried to seduce him.
Ha, does it count as a good deed for him to kill this woman?
After all, if this woman is alive, many men will definitely suffer.
Prince Rui chuckled, stretched out his hand and grabbed the woman's neck.
"You..." A look of surprise appeared on the face of the woman in pink dress. She struggled, but found that she could not break free from Prince Rui's hand at all!
“M-Mercy…”
She uttered a faint plea. The vitality of cultivators was always slightly stronger than that of ordinary people, and they could hold on longer in a suffocating state. The woman in the pink dress said with difficulty, "I can... give... you silver..."
