41 Desire
On the other side, Yin Li had obviously also received the news. He sat in the center of the hall, listening to the reports from the people below.
"My Lord, we have noticed a figure frequently entering and leaving the Pharmacy in the Imperial City of the Human Realm recently. It should be Ye Lang."
Upon hearing this name, Yin Li paused in tapping the chair. "Continue."
“Our men have been following them for some time, but haven’t found where they are staying. They must be looking for something, but I don’t know.”
Oh
Yin Li sneered, "Useless."
"My Lord, please calm your anger!"
"If you can't find it, there's no need to come back."
He coldly looked at the group of people kneeling below. At this moment, the Demon General Rong Shao, under the immense pressure, forced himself to say, "My Lord, I have another matter to discuss."
"explain."
"Recently, the magical beasts at the edge of the Demon Realm barrier have been rioting again, subordinate—"
"I'll continue with the rest; I'll go later."
"My Lord, your body!"
"Go down, I'm tired."
"Your Excellency!"
In an instant, an inkstone rolled to the ground, grazing his forehead, and the crowd below fell silent.
As the crowd dispersed, Rong Shao was still somewhat indignant. "Is the Lord's body made of iron? Not to mention using blood to refine those pills that have no purpose, just think of how much effort he expended to prevent demonic beasts from wreaking havoc in the Immortal Realm and the Human Realm a while ago!"
"General, please calm down. Alas, I have no choice. I've already advised the Lord many times." Feng Ying was filled with mixed emotions. He knew the Lord's suffering better than anyone. Even before that person arrived, he was already thinking of refining medicine for her, and now he had to repair the barrier...
"I didn't mean for the Lord to go in person. We can fix it ourselves. Why won't he listen?"
"Then go and tell the Lord," Feng Ying said quietly.
"Me!" Rong Shao was momentarily speechless, then waved his hand angrily and strode away.
The warm sun, carrying the unique scent of autumn, shone down. Chu Qing was heading alone into the library following the route she had just inquired about. As soon as she entered, she began searching for her target.
Now, in addition to searching for a way to change her bloodline, she also needs to contact Hua Qi and the others. She has tried using a sound transmission talisman, but it is clear that there is a restriction in the sky above, and without Yin Li, there is no way to transmit sound.
He only hoped that Yin Li would set aside her suspicions and allow him more authority.
As she pondered, she walked forward and soon arrived at the ancient scrolls containing various forbidden techniques and bloodlines. She walked through them one by one and suddenly noticed a book placed in the corner on the top floor.
The Art of Bloodlines
What a straightforward name.
Chu Qing couldn't help but grumble inwardly, but she still managed to take the book down and slowly turned to the first page:
Immortal veins, demonic veins, half-demon...
When heaven and earth were first created, the pure energy was above and the turbid energy was below. The half-pure and half-turbid was the half-demon. If one wanted to take it and replace it, one needed to use the spiritual platform as a guide, borrow the fire dance to enter the eyes, draw out the blood threads, and replace the demonic vein.
Whether it was just good luck or something orchestrated by fate, Chu Qing felt it was all too easy; she found a way to exchange bloodlines so smoothly.
But regardless of whether there is a conspiracy, she should take this step.
The book was slowly closed, and the fallen leaves outside the library rustled down, their dust swirling in the wind.
"What is Master doing?"
As she approached the door, she was met with a pair of dark, expressionless eyes. Suppressing her momentary panic, she went to the other person's side and said, "I'm bored, so I'm looking for some books to pass the time."
Yin Li raised an eyebrow, her tone light and cheerful: "This library is full of useless and boring demonic spells. If Master likes them, I'll have someone search for some human stories?"
"Alright."
"Let's go." The boy naturally took the other's hand and walked towards the bedchamber: "It's time to change the dressing."
Back inside, Yin Li skillfully took out the pills and handed them to Chu Qing: "In a few more days, Master should be fully recovered."
"Restoring the meridians is no easy task. Your pills are so effective, where did you get them?"
"I am the Demon Lord, what do I lack?"
"Yin Li, tell the truth." For some reason, her mind was in complete turmoil, because Chu Qing always felt that although Yin Li looked powerful now, his demonic energy seemed chaotic and his foundation was not solid.
In the first few days after arriving in the Demon Realm, she would scrape off a little bit of the medicinal powder each time and save it. It wasn't until recently that she discovered that the ingredients in it should contain half-demon blood.
Yin Li, just how many foolish things are you going to do?
A clear laugh reached his ears, soothing the turmoil in his heart: "Master is still so clever. It's just a few drops of blood. There's no need to make such a fuss."
"Eat it quickly."
"Um."
Chu Qing clenched her fist, but didn't say much. The other person just watched her swallow quietly, then got up as if to leave.
"Master, get some rest. I have something to do and will be back later."
"Um."
The departing figure suddenly returned, a familiar fragrance drew near, and a warm, ambiguous breath reached her ear: "Hold me, hug my disciple."
A faint electric current traveled through her meridians and into her heart. Chu Qing felt a numbness all over her body, and a blush quickly rose to her cheeks.
"······good"
The moment their bodies touched, the thin veil swayed, the candlelight flickered, their black hair intertwined, and tender affection filled the air.
A moment of lingering affection, a moment of sudden realization—when her thoughts returned, the person before her had already gone far away. Chu Qing used her spiritual power to test the restrictions in the courtyard and found that they seemed much weaker than when she first arrived.
She needs the right opportunity to pull off a big heist.
Night always comes quickly, with scattered stars hanging in the sky, and crimson demonic energy swirling, but it still cannot conceal that dazzling red figure.
"Your Excellency."
"You may all step back."
Despite his immense resentment, Rong Shao could not disobey the other party and stood quietly to the side.
Yin Li coldly stared at the barrier ahead, which had a slight crack. A surge of demonic energy flew out from his five fingers, and in an instant, millions of mindless demonic beasts were torn to pieces. The crack slowly closed.
Blood spurted out, dripping onto the scarlet clothes, blurring and blurring them.
"Your Excellency!"
"Your Excellency!"
Feng Ying hurried forward, and he and Rong Shao supported Yin Li on either side, and without saying a word, they began to channel demonic energy into him to heal his injuries.
"It's alright, it will be fine after a while."
"My Lord, it has been quite some time since you last visited the Cold Pool."
Since Yin Li came to the Demon Realm and became the Demon Lord, he has quickly built up his own power. Feng Ying and Rong Shao are the two swords he carefully selected. Only the two of them in the entire Demon Palace know the secret of the Spirit Pearl.
The cold pool could help him alleviate the pain of refining the spirit pearl and stabilize his inner demons from their interference.
"Okay, I'll be there in a bit."
"My Lord, you must not take any more of your heart's blood. The Spirit Pearl is already difficult to nurture, and now repairing the barrier has consumed a great deal of your energy. Is it really necessary to refine the medicine?"
"It is none of your business to interfere in my affairs."
Yin Li gave Rong Shao a cold glare. Even if he was weak, those useless people in the cultivation world couldn't beat him. And the demons hadn't started a war this year. Recovery was a minor matter; healing his master was the most important thing.
Rong Shao seemed to want to say something more, but Feng Ying stopped him. They watched their lord's departing figure, feeling melancholy.
"Want some drinks?"
"Let's go to your place."
The two arrived at Fengying's residence, took out a jar of treasured wine from under the tree, and poured it into wine glasses.
"You must have heard of that person."
"Who?" Rong Shao asked sarcastically, "Elder Qingge of Qingshan Peak, who harmed our Lord?"
"Hmm"
Feng Ying raised his chin: "If you said that in front of the Venerable One, you wouldn't be satisfied even if you died a hundred times over."
The person opposite him kicked him, "What exactly do you mean?"
“You still don’t understand. I was by his side when he wasn’t yet the Venerable One. That person was very important. I could feel that the Venerable One hated the sword his master used to stab him, but in the end, it was still an obsession.”
Feng Ying took a swig of wine, interrupting the other's desire to speak: "Let me tell you a secret. In fact, in His Majesty's heart, they are far from being master and disciple."
Rong Shao paused in his grip on the wine glass, raised his eyelids slightly, and said in a calm tone, "I can see that. I know what His Excellency thinks of her, but I don't know what that elder thinks."
"Sigh, it doesn't matter. Your Majesty has already won her over. The rest is up to fate."
"You're quite open-minded."
Feng Ying shrugged and took another sip of wine: "We can't persuade him, but you have to believe that your master is a man of principle, and things haven't gotten to the point of no return."
"Actually, I've met her once."
Clang!
Fengying lost her balance, and the liquid spilled onto the table.
He opened his eyes wide, somewhat shocked, and asked, "I've never seen it before, how come you saw it before me!"
Rong Shao: ......
"Weren't you investigating something else the other day?"
"Oh, that's true."
Rong Shao rolled his eyes and continued, "Only the Venerable One is so addicted to it. Humph, want to make a bet? She definitely won't be content to stay here forever."
Night fell, the moon was obscured by thick clouds, and the weather grew colder.
The candle had burned down to the bottom, and the flame was no longer as bright as it had been at the beginning, only dimly casting a slender, sleeping figure against the wall.
Yin Li stepped in through the darkness and saw the woman covered up to her shoulders, her face cold and otherworldly. She was sleeping on the inside, and there seemed to be an empty space next to her.
master······
Yin Li closed her eyes, unable to suppress the restless desires in her heart, and turned her feet, changing her original direction.
In the overly quiet woods, a lake reflected the white moonlight. Upon closer inspection, a person with their eyes closed leaned against the shore on the surface of the water, which shimmered with a chill.
Her fair skin glowed even more brightly in the night, her dark hair cascading down, with droplets of water trickling down her neck and collarbone, disappearing into the fabric.
Yin Li squinted, her eyes reddening unnaturally, her breath coming out in short, intermittent gasps, her chest heaving, and suppressed moans escaping her throat.
master······
master······
The woman's every smile and frown kept flashing through his mind—cool, indifferent, she seemed to have very few other expressions, but Yin Li had seen all her expressions except for indifference.
The lake surface rippled continuously, with small waves gently touching the wild grass on the shore. As the movement quickened, the waves gradually increased in size, from a light caress to a heavy slap, as if in joy, but the brows furrowed even more tightly.
A flash of white light appeared in an instant, and the lake gradually calmed down. When the heat on their bodies dissipated, there was no one left in the water.
