Shen Yunhao didn't bother to find out who couldn't resist relaxing.
He knew better than anyone that the little fox was definitely feeling terrible inside...
Given her usual temperament, it's quite remarkable that she's managed to endure this treatment of her fellow clansmen!
As he rubbed the fox's tail, Shen Yunhao walked out of the stone pillar and came to the middle of the passageway.
The demons were either dozing off or watching other demons grinning, so they didn't notice him.
Only then did he feel relieved enough to walk to the giant cage where the python demon was imprisoned.
The giant python coiled its body, its massive form trembling slightly, seemingly a side effect of forcibly breaking through using external force.
The power gained from overdrawing one's life force is not something that can be easily borne.
After a moment of silence, Shen Yunhao raised his hand, and a wisp of blue light drifted into the cage and seeped into the python's head.
Before long, the python began to writhe restlessly and hiss in pain.
This commotion did not attract the attention of other demons. In this third level of the demon tower, it was perfectly normal for demons to suddenly go berserk.
The treatment took much longer than Shen Yunhao had imagined.
Since being captured in the Profound Soul Realm, the python demon has been tormented by this so-called evil soul blood energy for far too long, and regaining its clarity will not be easy.
It took Shen Yunhao a full half hour, during which he used up most of his spiritual energy by activating the Vast Ocean Heart, before the blood-red color in the giant python's eyes slowly faded.
The python demon, who had just regained its senses, was still somewhat dazed. Just as it came to its senses and was about to get angry, it heard a low shout.
"Silence!"
A flash of white light, and a man and a woman appeared out of thin air outside the cage.
That low shout just now came from this woman.
Having experienced being controlled by the red light, Bai Xiaoruo knew very well that although her body and mind were manic and confused, she was very clear about what had happened during that time after she woke up.
For the python demon, his true consciousness was like watching a six-month-long movie in which he was the protagonist.
As the movie ended, his life also came to an end.
Upon hearing this low shout, the python demon felt as if its entire demonic soul had been struck by something, and the turbulent emotions in its heart were immediately calmed down.
However, looking at the man and woman before him, the python demon showed no gratitude in its eyes, and a young man's voice came from its mouth: "You came for my demon essence, didn't you?"
Upon hearing this, both Shen Yunhao and Bai Xiaoruo were taken aback.
"Your Dragon Blood Sect's self-directed and self-acted drama is truly amusing!"
Despite being a giant python, Shen Yunhao still saw a hint of mockery in its enormous snake eyes.
"Going to such lengths to restore my consciousness was simply to obtain a demon essence free of resentment, and then sell it for a better price... but..."
Just then, a deep rumble suddenly came from inside the giant python, as if something had shattered!
"But... what a pity..." The python demon's voice suddenly became extremely weak, as if it were about to die at any moment, "What you wanted has been destroyed by me! Hahahaha... You got nothing!"
The python demon wanted to let out a hearty laugh, but unfortunately, his life had come to an end with the collapse of his demonic essence, and even his laughter was low and hoarse.
"you!"
Bai Xiaoru stared blankly at the scene, her eyes wide with shock, unable to utter a single word.
"Hahaha...cough cough...hahaha..."
The python demon laughed wildly, deriving unparalleled pleasure from Bai Xiaoruo's reaction. Unfortunately, the young boy beside him remained expressionless, though a hint of sorrow and complexity lingered between his brows.
"May I have your name?"
After a moment, Shen Yunhao raised his head and asked.
"Wh...what?"
The python demon was taken aback.
"You have not yet taken human form, yet you have already developed intelligence. You must not have been named yet..." Shen Yunhao said calmly, "I am not talented, but since your death was caused by my own actions, I will give you a name... You shall be called Qiming. I hope that in your next life you will be guided by Venus at dawn and avoid getting lost and confused in life."
The python demon's brain immediately went blank.
Since he became conscious, he has only ever wandered in the mountains and fields and has never come into contact with human civilization.
The only time we made contact, we were arrested and brought here.
He never imagined that he would have a name before he died.
yes……
If someone doesn't even have a name, does that mean they've ever truly existed in this world?
At this moment, Bai Xiaoruo, who was standing beside her, also calmed down and suddenly took out a silver-gray token. "This is the Demon Emperor's token. I am Bai Xiaoruo, the daughter of the Demon Emperor! I have come here to help the demon race, not to trick you out of your demon essence as you have suggested!"
"puff!"
Before the giant python could react, Shen Yunhao, who was standing next to it, spat out his food on the spot, staring dumbfounded at the silver-gray token.
Bai Xiaoruo ignored him and said to herself, "Qiming... in your life, is there anything left undone, or any wish unfulfilled? If there is an opportunity, I will help you resolve it!"
The giant python was stunned for a long time before finally lowering its head, bowing its body, and performing a deep bow.
"I have met... Your Highness... I... have lived a muddled and aimless life, and have no other desires... I only ask that Your Highness... take good care of the benefactor who bestowed upon me this name..."
Bai Xiaoruo was stunned for a moment, then secretly glanced at Shen Yunhao beside her, her tone inexplicably shy.
"I...I know..."
Shen Yunhao sighed softly: "Don't worry... we will avenge you. Go in peace!"
"Thank you... thank you so much, my benefactor..."
After saying this, the giant python lay down on the ground and remained motionless.
The atmosphere fell silent once again.
After a moment, Bai Xiaoruo spoke first: "Let's go..."
"What about the rest? Aren't you going to save them?"
"Saving it would just result in a corpse; there's no need to waste so much energy!"
Shen Yunhao's mood was also somewhat heavy.
The python demon chose to self-destruct its demon core because it believed that they were from the Dragon Blood Sect and were using false favors to gain trust and obtain a demon core without resentment.
The Dragon Blood Sect sent people to pretend to rescue the dying monsters here. Knowing that they would not live much longer, the monsters were very likely to offer up their demon essence voluntarily.
It may seem complicated, but this process is very important.
The Qi Refining Pill, made from the essence of demons with deep resentment, has a similar effect, but it will be rejected by all demons. That resentment is basically impossible to dispel, and other demons will sense it if you are not careful.
When a demon voluntarily offers up its demon essence, there are naturally no side effects, just like the one Shen Yunhao left behind.
The python demon had probably witnessed a similar scene before and was on guard, so the moment it regained its senses, it self-destructed its demonic energy.
In this way, the Dragon Blood Sect spent such a huge price but gained nothing, suffering a complete loss.
